•« lion In 1906
ATLANTA, Feb. 26. —The Democrat
ic State Executive Committee, in its
rule that candidates in Georgia for
the Democratic nomination for pres
ident must declare themselves as
Democrats, is attempting the same
tactics for which it was condemned
in 1906 by the state convention, it
was charged Wednesday by Hooper
Alexander, United States district at
torney, and long a figure in Georgia
politics.
Friends of Herbert Hoover in
Georgia have accused the executive
committee of hitting at the former
food administrator as a Democratic
candidate. Mr. Alexander, however,
declared Wednesday his position was
taken without regard to the person
ality of Hoover or anybody else as a
candidate, and merely because of his
conviction that the committee whs
Wrong.
Mr. Alexander said the committee,
in seeking to get from Hoover a dec
laration that he is a Democrat before
permitting his name on the ballot in
the preferential primary, is exceed
ing its authority. ,
TJr. Alexander recited the pledge
of Democracy which the committee
in 1906 caused to be put on the bal
lot in an effort he declared was in
tended to exclude Populist. The plat
form adopted at Macon, September '
4, 1906, was quoted to show the dis- 1
approval of the convention. The
relevant paragraphs read:
Administrative Body Only.
‘‘The Democratic State Executive ■
Committee shall be a ministerial and
executive body only. -Its duties shall
be discharged with judicial impartial-,
ity. It shall not assume unusual au- j
thority and shall be guided by pre-,
cedent, insofar as precedent can be ;
applied to existing conditions.
“We disapprove the action of the
recent State Executive Committee in
printing, unnecessary pledges as a
caption to the ballot. Such action
was unwise, contrary to the unbrok
en custom of the party, and ealeu
laied to divide the white people of
MILLIONS
Suffer from
IcidStomach
Millions of people f-uiTer year after year j
from ailments affecting practically every |
part of the bo<ly, never dreaming that their j
ill health can be traced directly to acid-atom- .
ach. Here is the reason: poor digestion I
means poor nourishment of the different
organs and tissues of the body The blood is j
impoverished—becomes weak, thin, sluggish. I
Ailments of many kinds spring from such i
conditions. Biliousness, rheumatism, lum- !
bago, sciatica, general weakness, loss of \
power and energy, headache, insomnia,
nervousness, mental depression—even more .
serious ailments such as catarrh -cd cancer 1
of the stomach, intestinal ulcers, cirrhosis J
of the liver, heart trouble—all of these can
often be traced directly to acid-stomach
Keep a sharp lookout for the llrst symptom®
of acid-stomach—indigestion, heartburn,
belching, fo.od repeating, that awful painful
mo,-it after eating, and sour, gassy stomach,
KATONIC, the wonderful modern remedy for
acid-stomach, is guaranteed to bring quick
relief from these stomach miseries. Thousands
say they never dreamed that anything could
bring such speedy relief—and make them feel 1
so much better in every way. Try KATONIC
and you, too. will be just as enthusiastic in
its praise. Make your life worth living—no
aches or pains—no bkics or melancholy—no
more of that tired, listless feeling Be well
and strong. Get back your physical and men
tal punch; your vim, vigor and vitality You
w,d always be weak and ailing as long as you
have acid stomach. So get rid of it now.

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to i
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.
Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human afflictions it is
one of the most painful. Those subject
to rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood It is the func
tion of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the i
urine; the pores of the skin arc also
a means of freein. the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the ski pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for a week, pris
is -aid to eliminate uric acid by stimu
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus ridding the blood of these impur
ities.
Jad S->ts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu
matism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.
the state into two parties, rather
I than build up the Democratic party
jby obliteration of factional lines.
) i “Moreover, we regard sue i action
.las opening a wide possibility in the
k future for the usurpat'on of power.
iWe declare it to be a permanent
, 1 principle of the Democratic party or
’ j ganiaztion that all oualified white
I voters in Georgia, irrespective of past
political affiliations, who, in good
j faith, desire to align themselves with
; the party, are cordially invited to do
. so upon the sole condition that they
. will abide by the result of the party
primary and support the party nomi
r nations."
The application of precedent was
i made mandatory by the convention,
> the district attorney pointed out, and
I he declared there was no precedent
t for the subcommittee’s action, which
• h( construed to be aimed against
Hoover.
i Situations Similar.
j “I dislike very much to get into
i the present controversy,’’ said Alex
-1 ander. “The attorney general, who
■ is my chief, is among the presiden
■ tial possibilities. There is a delicacy
. to be observed. The question is one,
however, which has to do with the
Democratic party in Georgia, rather
than with candidates.
“There is no doubt that the two !
situations—-the one of 1906 relating
I to the pledge, and the present situa
tion—are synonymous in principle.
It is an effort by the State Democrat
ic Executive Committee to usurp au- 1
thority.
“The committee’s sole function is j
I mechanical. It is intended to take'
care of details, and details only. Its |
duties are limited to setting the date j
cf the election, naming the managers,
consolidating the returns and making j
a report to the state convention.
I .“ft has nothing whatever to do j
with party policies. Anything other
than the more mechanical details is i
Ia- matter for the convention. And '
the most important thing of all is that
: n <> attempt shall be made, either di
rectly or indirectly to tfoerce the
voters as to whom they shall vote
for,’’
j The district attorney, byway of
forecast, pointed out the result of
; the 1906 incident. It was in the
| time of the famous Joe Brown-Hoke
Smith fight, he said, and the plan was i
to cost Hoke Smith over 10,000 votes |
through exclusion of persons who |
previously had been Populists,
1 “There was a storm of protest,’’ he i
'said. “The authoritative word of the I
state convention was spoken. The!
I effort failed and Hoke Smith won.’’ j

Account
A good old joke is told of the woman who, wnen
asked by the banker to indorse her husband’s check
so it could be cashed, wrote on the back: “I heartily
indorse this check. Your loving wife, Mary.” Whether
that incident is true or not, it happens frequently in
real life that some woman, left alone by her husband’s
absence or death, finds herself in woeful ignorance of

Schley Farmers Again
To Go In For Tobacco
ELLAVILLE, Feb. 26.—Tobacco
growing is forming a new industry
in Schley county, and has proven so
profitable that quite a large acreage
will be planted this year. During the
past summer, houses for curing the
leaves for shipment were erected, and
the high grade of tobacco produced
brought splendid prices. The follow
ing substantial farmers will again
engage in raising this important prod
uct this year: C. L. Battle, S. N.

Weak, tired people regain strength
