One naturally expects a civil en gineer to be courteous. A Hughe's handshake is said to be like a shower bath in winter time. Kiss your wife both morning and evening if you would avoid a discus sion. We believe old Carranza is a hypo crite. He has simply pretended and hasn’t tried. It is immaterial to us who Roosevelt supports, we are going to elect Wil son whether or no. There is at least one redeeming trait to be found in Bryan that is not in Roosevelt, he doesn't sulk. ... .1. .w Ml ■■ —I An appropriate emblem for the re publican party this fall, would be an elephant drawing two blocks of ice. The sale of cloves and breath pellets have decreased no little bit since Georgia got into the prohibition col umn. Now that the Russians have come back, the Austrians would like to have them go away back and "sit” down. Some wealthy women spend lots of time doing things for the poor, while her husband spends his time doing to -them. The sensible husband will apologize whether he is guilty or not. This is always the best step toward a kiss and a make-up. The stars and stripes have never yet been raised except in the cause of i humanity ,and when once raised they .never come down. - We are real sorry that old Carranza and his crowd haven’t seen fit to be have themselves. Uncle Sam will now proceed to teach them a lesson, and one that will not soon be forgot ten. WE NEED MANUFAI TURES. Comparisons are sometimes odious, but very necessary at times to bring us to a full realization of the condition cf ourselves and things. Now that the Americus and Sumter County Chamber of Commerce has gone on record as being in favor and proposes to foster manufacturing en terprises for Americus and this sec tion it will not be amiss or out of place to make a few comparisons. To say that Georgia has $258,000,000 in vested in manufacturing enterprises conveys but a vague idea as to her im portance as a manufacturing state, nor does it count for much unless we can arrive at some intelligent under standing as to how this will compare with what other states have invested and at the same time study the facts ir. connection with the population, the area of territory, natural advantages, etc. In a recent issue of the Manufactur ers Record we find the fololwing com parive figures which should prove eye openers to the people of the oSuth and especially Georgia, the grand old em pire state of the South. She possesses perhaps more natural advantages for manufacturing enterprises than al most any state in the Union. The fig ures referred to are as follows: In 1914 Connecticut had invested in manufacturing a total of $620,194,000. The increase in the five-year period from 1909 to 1914 was greater by $22,- 000,000 than the total of capital in vested in manufacturing in Missis sippi. It was greater by $27,000,000 than the aggregate manufacturing cap ital of Arkansas. The magnitude of this industrial de velopment in Connecticut is seen in the fact that it is $159,000,000 greater than the combined manufacturing cap ital of Georgia and South Carolina, and is $84,000,000 greater than the to tal manufacturing capital of North Carolina and Texas. These simple facts, striking as they are, can be better understood when it is remembered that the total land area of Connecticut is only 4820 square miles, while the land area ot Georgia is 58,725 square miles, that of South Carolina 30,495 square miles and that of North Carolina 48,740 s juare miles, while Texas is simply too big to talk about, with its more than 262,000 square miles. But area alone does not count. Connecticut has a population of !,• 200,000 only. Connecticut had invested in its fac tories in 1914 more than SSOO per capital for its entire population while Georgia in 1914 had only 092 per cap ita, or but little more than one-sixth os much per capita as Connecticut. Rhode Island is smaller than many of the counties in the South, tie total land area is 1067 square miles. It might be cut off of any one corner of almost any state in the South and the rest of the state woudl never know that it had been lost, so far as area is concerned. But Rhode Island had in 1914 a manufacturing capital of $309,- 595,000, though its population was only 602,000. Rhode Island, with an area of a lit tle more than 100 square miles, and with a population of only 602,000, had $46,000,000 more invested in manufac turing than Georgia, with its 58,0001 square miles and its 2,800,000 people. It had $101,000,000 more money in fac tories than South Carolina, with over 30,000 square miles of land area and 1 a population of 1,600,000. North Car olina is accounted one of the prosper ous industrial states of the South but, though it is 48 times as large as Rhode Island, and though its popula tion is nearly four times as great, it had in 1914 $51,000,000 less capital in vested in manufacturing than that tiny little state of New England. Running through the whole South in contrast with New England equally as striking statistics could be (presented Showing the amazing industrial de velopment of New England as compar ed with the more limited industrial progress of the South. In these figures the South and Geor gia should have an Inspiration rath er than a discouragement. The inspir ation may be found in the limitlees possibilities of this section, and when- ever the South wakes up to the fact oi these possibilities, and pursues with . the same tireless energy its industrial , development that has marked the pro gress of the New England states, her growth and prosperity as a manufac turing section will be even more wond erful and marvelous. Now that our Chamber of Commerce has started the ball to rolling let our citizens, our moneyed men, get behind and push and soon this the best sec tion of old Georgia will grow and blos som like the rose. HEAR BLOODWORTH. This is a great old world after all. There’s more sunshine than rain; mores roses than thistles; more health than sickness; more joys than sor rows. So why not get in on the happy side.—Monroe (Forsyth) Advertiser. Only a man with a big fat job can talk this w’ay. HE'S THE GOAT ALRIGHT. Justice Hughes gave up a life-time job In order to accept the republican nomination for the presidency. He was willing to become the goat of the party.—Griffin News and Sun. And there won't be a bleat left after November. WHO’S THE MAN. Something should be done to reduce: the number of divorces which are an nually being placed on the dockets of our courts. Who is the man for the hour?—Milton County News. The ordinary and the preacher. WHY, CERTAINLY! Will Judge Hughes meet the same fate that struck Judge Parker in the umbilicus?—Alpharetta Press. That is just what is going to hap pen to Hughes. JftPS WILL RETURN 6IFO GERMANS KOBE, Japan, June 21.—The sub scribers to the proposed reconstruct ed international hospital at Kobe have voted to return to the German sub scribers the gift of $7,000 which they made to found a “Kaiser Wilhelm 11. Operating Room” in the hospital. On account of their objection the to meth ods of German warfare the subscrib- 1 ers, mostly English, decided that they did not wish any part of the hospital ] to be named after the German Elnper- ; or. Thejr started to collect a fund to take the place of the German gift and the total amount was recently made up. The German directors of the hos pital board absented themselves from the meeting but sent a letter declaring ' that as German subjects they must decline to be present at a gathering which occupied itself with the name or person of His Majesty, Kaiser Wil helm 11. THE BEST PROOF Given by an Americus citizen. Doan's Kidney Pills were used— they brought benefit. The story was told to Americus res idents. Time has strengthened the evidence. Has proven the result lasting. The testimony is home testimony— The proof convincing. It can be investigated by Americus residents. A. C. Alexander, grocer, 712 Spring St., Americus, says: “My back caused me much suffering and I was hardly able to perform my duties ®n account of the pains. The action of my kidneys was very irregular and too frequent, causing me to get up a number of times at night. Doan’s Kidney Pills soon relieved me of the pain in my back and the action of my kidneys be came regular. The pains left and 1 have never felt them since.” (Statement given March 18. 1910.) A Permanent Cure. MORE THAN FOUR YEARS IaATER, Mr. Alexander said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills made a cure for me which has proven permanent and lasting now and my back and kidneys don’t bother me a Mt” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills— the same that Mr. Alexander has twice publicly rec ommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. advt.

To the Voters of the Third Congress ional District: I hereby respectfully announce my candidacy for re-election as your Rep resentative in the Sixty-Fifth (65th) Congress, subject to the primary to be held on September 12th. During the short time I have been your congressman, I have sincerely en deavored to serve you faithfully, and if my efforts and record meet with your approval, I will feel greatly hon ored and profoundly grateful if you will give me your support In the com ing elections. Congress has been in al most continuous session since you elected me, and duty required me to stay here, which prevented me from visiting you as often as I wisfied. The Ways and Means committee is now daily working on a revenue measure; being on that committee, I must re main here until the new tax law is passed. As soon as Congress adjourns, or before then, if public business will permit me to leave, I expect to canvass the District, meet the people personal ly and talk to them face to face, both individually and on the stump. If re-elected, I promise to discharge the duties of the great office with fidel ity and to the best of my ability. From the depths of my heart, I thank you for your past kindness to me.

Ready, Ky.—“ 1 was not able to do anything for nearly six months," writes Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and was down in bed for three months. 1 cannot tell you how 1 suffered with my nead, and with nervousness and womanly troubles. Our family doctor told my husband he could not do me any good, and he had to give it up. We tried another doctor, but he did nut help me. At last, my mother advised me to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. 1 thought it was no use for 1 was nearly dead and nothing seemed to do me any good. But I took eleven bottles, and now I am able to do all of my work and my own washing. 1 think Cardui is the best medicine In the world. My weight has increased, and 1 look the picture of health. ” If you suffer from any of the ailments peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui today. Delay is dangerous. We know it will help you, for it has helped so many thousands of other weak women in the past 50 years. At ail druggists. IFr/o t*: Chattanoor Medldn* Co.. LadlaV Advisory Doo*. Chattan o«a.
