TUESDAY AFTERNOON,, JANUARY 29 1924 SUPT DUPREE STATES HE WON'T RUN AGAIN Will Devote Time, to Work of “Feeding Spiritual Bodies” of Younger Generation Edward W. Dupree, county school superintendent, today form ally announces his intention to re tire from office at the expiration of his term next January. In au thorizing publication of his position, Supt. Dupree said: “I think that the office of coun ty school superintendent is the important one in the county. If we give the right kind of Education to our children other things will take care of themselves. “I have done my nest to serve the schools to the best advantage at all times, however there are many other things that I wish I could have done. But I was hindered by causes for which I am not respon sible.. “I believe that I have had the ap- If You Need a • Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—th e article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommend ed by those who have been benefit ed, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druygist says “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so larj'e a sale.” According to sw'orn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheuma tism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Ad dress Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham? ton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Fifty years were devoted to master ing the secrets of coffee-making which are responsible for the unmistakable fragrance and flavor within your cup. ■ ** Ig J No wonder Maxwell House Coffee is “Good to the Last Drop. MAXWELL HOUSE Coffee proval of the county as a whole as illustrated by the many petitions to enter the race for the office super intendent for another term In jus tice to these and other friends I feel it my duty to explain my reason for not entering the race at this time. “If I had been guided by the ad vice of many friends and my own endeavor in the matter I would, at this time be a candidate, but I think we should be directed by a superior advisor and that we should follow His lead. This I have tried to do, and am convinced that there is other work that I should do; even a greater than that of aiding in the development of the minds of our future citizens; that of feeding their spiritual bodies. For this work I wish to better prepare my self and enter actively as soon as possible. “I also wish to express my deep est appreciation of the confidence in and coperation with me on the part of almost all of my constitu ency. I assure you that you w'Jll ever linger pleasantly in my mem ory, even unto the end.” COMMITTEE VOTES NOT CHANGE PRIMARY DATE MOULTRIE, Jan. 29.—The dale of the Colquitt county primary for the nomination of county officers will take place on February 27th the date originally fixed.
