SOUTH GEORGIA’S COTTON KING.
Prosperous Farmer Holds Staple for
Higher Prices.

the “cotton king" of this part of the

In the county. When cotton was sell

In condition to hold his until nearly
1,000 bales had accumulated, all ot
which, with the exception of about 125
Sales, have recently been sold at a

In Columbus he might do so, but would
not stop his plows now to haul the 6ta
pie to the station at this price. Mr.
King has studied the cotton situation
closely. He says it 4e his opinion
that the price of cotton will go much
higher before a great while, and that
the prospecta for a large crop were
never, poorer than now. Mr. King
has large farming interests in this
county and returns 8,000 acres for tax

I can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing It, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may
have a sample bottle of
this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that
tells all about it, both nnm«Gfs*ramp-itoot
sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.

Don't make any mistake, but remember

PROP08ED RAILROAD CHANGES.
Important Deals Pending In Vanderbilt
System of Roads.
Cleveland, June 20.—Tho Leader
says:
“Important ebangos are pending In
the Vanderbilt railroad systems In this
region. President Ledyard, of tho
iliehlgan Central, Is to retire Aug. 1,
And W. H. Newman, president of the
New York- Central and of the Lake
Shore roads, will be made the presi
dent of the Michigan Central. This
lg only the beginning of other changes.
Tho Michigan Central will lose Its
identity.
“The Intention Is to build up a New
York Central system west of Buffa-
lo similar to the Pennsylvania system
west of Pittsburg, with the exception
that the president of the New York
Central will have Jurisdiction extended
over all of the western systems. The
Big Four and Nickel Plate are like
ly to be a part of the proposed mer
ger.
"The roads that will be Included In
this system are the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern, the Michigan Cen
tral, the Pittsburg and Lake Erie, the
bake Erie, Alliance and Wheeling, the
Lake Erie and Western, tho Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa, and the Detroit,
Toledo and Milwaukee.”
Two Secrets 'of Success
The success of The Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New
York is due:
Fiisst—To its selection of risks:
It writes no Insurance In untiealthful
regions or on vicious or sub-standard lives.
SOUTHERN WILL LAY TRACK.
Traffic Too Heavy for Two Roads
.West of Chattanooga.
Chattanooga, Tenn., June 20.—It Is
understood here that the Southern rail
way is again considering the building
of the StevenBon extension, a track
from this city to Stevenson, Ala., there
to connect with the present lino of the
Memphis and Charleston railway,
which Is controlled by the Southern.
It Is stated that the traffic over the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
railway, whose tracks the Memphis
and Charleston uses between this city
and Stevenson, has grown to such an
extent that It' is difficult to operate
the trains of tho two roads over the
one track.
The Southern has had several sur
veys made for the extension, and It is
understood that the one likely to be
adopted Is that which will provide for
a tunnel through Lookout mountain
The tracks will practically parallel the
Nashville road’s tracks from here to
Stevenson. If the extension Is built
It will cost about $5,000,000.
