THE 4.MERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1898.
The Weakness
of a Woman.
A woman who has suffered eighteen years, who has
been cured after a life of misery and lives again in the
sunshine of happiness, speaks to other women in words
of no uncertain meaning.
Just a woman’, story.
Not strange because it happens every day,
not romantic cr thrilling, but just a story of
misery and suffering such as only women
know.
For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, of
Peru, Indiana, carried a burden of pain.
Night and day, without respite, she suf
fered the most dreadful experience that ever
fell to the lot of woman.
That she did not die is almost beyond
belief.
That she is well to-day is a miracle.
Mrs. Bowen’s trouble requires no descrip
tion beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs. Bowen says t
“For eighteen years I suffered with
weakness peculiar to my sex.
“I was a broken down piece ol human
ity l a shadow of a woman.
“My brain was tortured until I could re
member but little. 1 could not sleep or eat
and was reduced in weight to a mere skele
ton. What little I did eat could not be di
gested in my weakened state, and caused
me untold misery.
“My skin was muddy, my eyes were
heavy. I was dizzy all the time and to
tally unfit for even ordinary housework.
“ Doctors prescribed for me without avail.
Medicine was recommended and taken in
quantity but it did no good.
“ Tin.* and lime again 1 was at the brink
of despair. Day by day my trouble grew
worse, and dark indeed was the day before
my deliverance.
“A friend of mine told me about Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and what
they had accomplished lor others in my
condition.
“ It was the first glimpse o! the sun of hap
pi ness through the dark clouds o! misery.
“1 bought a box and took them. Even
then I felt their effect. I bought more and
continued to take them until I was well
and strong. •
" They liberated me from the most terrible
bonds that ever tortured a woman. They
brought me new life when death was
welcome.
“I recommend them to my friends, and I
do not hesitate to say to every suffering
woman in the world that Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills will cure her.”
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lor Pale People
are a specific for all forms oi weakness.
The blood is vitalized and becomes preg
nant with (he elements of life. The ner
vous system ; s reorganized, all irregularites
are corrected, strength returns and disease
disappears. So remarkable have been the
cures performed by these little pills that
their fame has spread 'o the far ends of
civilization. Wherever you go you will
find the most important article in every
drug store to be Dr. Williams’ Pink Filn
for Pale People.
SAH JONES’ PLATFORM.
The platform ou which I stand anil
have stood for twenty years and wore,
ia simple, unadulterated, unpurchase
able, nnbulldozablo manhood.
God Jnever made a grander being
than a noble, royal man, and when ho
make* a royal man^ho£ makes him as
near like himself as he can. I am for
everything thnt develops, fosters nnd
finishes imperious, royal manhood. ]
am everlastingly, everywhere and ev
erywhon against everything that builds
np reputation at the expense of char
acter; that makes gold dominate God,
or chattels character, or mammon man
hood; for I believo'that a man in all
his royal, magnificent character is
bigger than a king, grnnder than a
president and nobler than a governor.
If I were to runV. thousand races ov-
cry scntcnco from my lips, as well as
, every inspiration from my heart, would
furnish but a leverage to lift humanity
np and make men of onr boys and
prinoely characters of onr men. I
would only throw mud back into the
rand boles ont of which it came. I
would carry my scissors along to trim
tho ears of the jackasses, my hobbles
•long for their hind feet, and my lash
along when I wanted to move thorn up,
■The field for fun in the politioal are
na of Georgia today to me is a’most
irresistablo.
That is my platform, gentlemen—
■ometbing that mon only can stand on;
or, in other words, tho underpinning
of • man.
FACTORIES IN GEORGIA.
The Georgia farmers, especially
those living in what are termed the
rural or backwoods districts, are more
interested in factories coming to Geor
gia than any ether one ciass of people,
for faotories mean cities where towns
formerly were and towns where the
crossroads store existed before; citios
and towns mean an increased ralno to
farm lands, a market for farm produce
nnd a depot where the farmer can pur
chase bis own supplies cheaply. The
Goorgia farmer has everything to gain
and nothing to lose by offering induce
ments to factories to come to Georgia.
He should join iu this movement to
bring Georgia and her resources to the
attention of the country and should
see that the men ho elects to pnblic of
fice are animated by the same desire.
Tub editor of Tu« Tiues-Recordeb
has been eleo’ed an honorary member
of the Snmter County Agricultural So
ciety, and returns gracious thanks for
this high distinction. It is acompli
wont which we hardly merited, bat
the (Ute at large ie pat on notice that
from this date the bent of our inclina
tions will be non-political, for we have
joined the honest, horny handed sons
of toil, and will study farming to beat
the band, political and otherwise.
ATKINSON’S PLATFORM.
Hon. Spencer R. Atkinson has given
to the public the formal statemont of
his views as a candidate for governor.
It is a broad, consorvativo document,
shortest of the three announcements so
far made but nevertheless filling three
columns of small type.
He stands on the Chicago platform,
to tho principles of which he was “ful
ly committed by his utterances in
pnblio speeches delivered from the
stump four years before the meeting
of the Chicago convention.”
He believes iu the lowest tax rate
possible, though ho would not cut
down ponsion nor public school funds,
but would pay tho salaries of public
Bchool teachers at the end of each
month. His idea of tho waytoreduco
tho taxrato is to “subject to taxation
all personal property of every charac
ter, a largo proportion of which is not
returned at its real valne, nnd much of
which is not now returned at nil.”
Ho favors giving powers to tho In
terstate Railroad Commission to make
ratoa upon interstate traffic, co-oper
ating with the state commissions.
He favors encouraging manufactures
and giving counties and cities the
right to regulate their own taxes
thereon.
Ho says: “I am embarrassed by no
pledge or obligation to any person
whomsoever; am the candidate of no
divine or faction, and have no unre-
dressed political grievances against
any man or set of men. If elected
governor, I would enter upon tho dis
charge of the duties of tho office with
sn eye single to the interests of tho
state.

THE NATIONAL DEFENSE
It is said the Maine’s destruction
has begotten a more generous feeling
among members of congress in regard
to appropriations for defense. It is
now proposed by members of the honse
to concur in the Senate's amendment,
which increases the appropriation for
fortifications by 84,000,000. It is thought
the naval appropriation bill will con
tain an authorization for two battle
ships instead of one, and the entire
dry dock scheme of the dry dock board
appointed by Secretary Long may bo
authorized.
It is to be hoped these things will be
done. People are beginning to feel
that the national defenso is a poor
place for cheese-paring etinginess.
Economy is a good thing, but it ongbt
to be practiced in some other direction.
Recent evonts and the popular ex
citement following the loss of the
Maine have opened tho eyes of congress
ns well ns all thonghtfnl people to the
fact that the conutry is in a poor con
dition to go to war eveu w ith so weak
a power as 8pn!n. It is true that if
war should occnr the United States
would be victorious in the end, bnt
nevertheless the navy of Spain is suffi
ciently strong to lay in ashes a number
of onr unprotected ports.
In the matter of appropriations for
coast defenses congress has pursued a
parsimonious policy, aud south of New
York there is scarely a city on the
Atlantic seaboard that coaid not be
knocked into a cockod hat by a single
battleship of the first class or one of
the large armored cruisers These
facts are cansing some concern, now
that the relations between this govern
ment and Spain are seriously strained,
and we hear that congTess is in a
mood to be more liberal in mnking ap
propriations for the national defense,
and instead of voting largo sums of
money for public buildings at Rung-
villo and other crossroad towns, to se.t
aside a few millions of dollars for tho
erection of fortifications u nl the
mounting of guns to protect the ap
proaches to onr seaports.
In view of tho fact that congress
seems disposed to givo its attention to
and carry ont the plans prepared by
the war department for the defense of
tho coast and to tho very important
matter of constructing dock for the
ropair of tho ships of tho navy, we arc
confident that if our delegation at
Washington will make a united and
determined effort, they wi 1 succeed in
hnving inserted in tho naval bill, which
has not yet been reported to the house,
an appropriation for n steel doc.: at
Algiers, as recommended in the report
of the Banco dry dock board.
If the present strain betwoen this
government and that of Spain results iu
war the navy of tho United States
wonld be in a sorry plight, because of
a lack of docks in which to repair bat
tleships and cruisers which may hap
pen to get crippled in action. Chicago

Eczema
ill Eer Life.
Mr. E. D. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga.,
says that his daughter, Ida, inherited a
severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury aud potasli remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year sbe was treated
with various medicine], external appli
cations and internal remedies, without
result. Her sufferings were intense
and her condition grew steadily worse.
All the so-called blood remedies did not
seem tc reach the dis-
ease at all until S.
S.S. was given, when
an improvement
was at once noticed.
The medicine was
continuecd with fav
orable results, and
now she is cured
sound aud well, her
skin is perfectly
clear and pure and

• from what threat
ened to blight her life forever.

a customer.
Tlnn writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Caritii, III., to the Brad field Regulatoi
Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie
tors and manufacturers of “ Mother’s
Friend." This successful remedy is no:
one of the many internal medicines ad
vertised to do unreasonable thing*, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength aud elasticity
to those parts of woman’s organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any aud
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is l>egun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it lias been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor ami lessens
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

THE BMDFIELO UGUUTOX CO. Mauls. Ca
Tlio statement has been made that
a conflict with Spain would advance
the price of corn, wheat and meat, bnt
that it would depress tho price of cot
ton. This view may be tho correct
one from the standpoint of logic, bat
wo doubt if it would prove to bo so in
case of actual war. The price of cotton
has already fallen to a very low point
audit is difficult to see how anything
could be so calamitous as to drive it
much lower. But, as it appears to U“,
tho declaration of war wonld have a
tendency to loose the spectators in
cotton and make them a little wild.
Tho recollection of tho fabulous sums
made in cotton at tho close of the civil
war will make men with monoy reach
out for what is left of this year’s crop.
As a matter of fact the conditions will
not be the same as those at the close
of the civil war, yot, tho manufacture
and Bale of cotton goods throughout
the world will be interfered with to
such an extent as to allow tho stock on
band to bo greatly diminished, and in
anticipation of this the domand would
be steady enough to keep the price of
the staple from going lower thon it is
today.
< if courso war is to bo feared, bnt it
is to bo donbted whether the south
would he as sororely injured as most
men seem to believe, by the further
depression of the price of ita great
staple. - -Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
