The circulation deposits this irritating poison in the different muscles, nerves, tissues and joints of the body, and soon the painful symptoms- of Rheumatism are produced. The pains at first may be wandering and slight; but as the blood becomes more fully saturated with the uric acid poison, tht disease grows worse and after awhile gets to be chronic. Theslight, wander ing pains now become sharp and cutting at the least exposure to dampness or night nir, or any constitutional irregularity, the bones ache, the muscle: are not as free inaction as before, and where the acid poison is allowed to remain in the blood the joints often become so clogged with corrosive sub stances that they are left permanently stiff and useless. Rheumatism can never be rubbed away, nor can it be conquered and driven from the system until the acid-laden blood has been cleansed and purified. No other medicine docs this so effectually as S. S. S. It dissolves and re moves the impurities and sends a stream of rich, strong blood to the affected parts, which soothes the irritated nerves, inflamed muscles PURELY VEGETABLE and flesh, and the sufferer obtains relief that is permanent because the real cause of the disease has been removed. Special hook on Rheumatism and any medical advice desired free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. L. A Lowrey. President. Ciawford Wheatley, Vice-Prest, M. M. Lowrejr, Cnetilsr R. E.

Results from the counting of mail matter received at the Americus post- office for the seven days ending at midnight Saturday, were handed to Postmaster Mitchell yesterday by Mr. A. B. Howard, mailing clerk. The counting was general over tlie country, the figures being for the use of the Government In various ways. Some offices were permitted to suspend the back-stamping of let ters during the week, but local office kept right on with all departments as usual, the counting being an added task. The work was however done with promptness by Mr. Howard and his assistants, and outgoing mall was little, if any delayed. It is the opinion of Mr. Howard that the receipt of mall during the past week was not as heavy as the average. The total collections from outgoing mail for the seven days was nearly $450. Using the receipts for the week as a basis, it would Indicate an annual business of considerably above $25,000.

PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 21 —(Special)—Unless the church takes hold of the negro problem a reign of vice and crime will result, was the opinion expressed by Rev. Dr. David S. Kennedy, at a meeting of the Pres byterian Synod of Pennsylvania held Friday when Dr. Kennedy said that unless tho Church gave the black man the gospel the country would face the worst period that has ever confront ed It The delegates listened in start led silence, but broke into applause when he said that the only solution was the presentation of the word of God. "We are at the danger point In the case of the freedman,” he began, "The negro question Is standing In the very forefront and la engaging the serious attention of our best men everywhere. How can the Church of God let herself take a secondary place? We must face it and face it at once. You cannot paint this ques tion too black, but the blacker you paint It the greater becomes the re sponsibility of the Church and the greater the need to reach a solution. Nothing can solve this issue with wisdom but the sure word of God, the word of Christ, who placed the burden upon HI* people when He said, ’Go/ ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.' and the black man is one of the crea tures meant by the Saviour. ‘There is the command—give him the gospel. I don’t care what you say about him, how much you paint the negro and how much you hate him; you may hate him, as Intensely as the Jew hated tho Samaritan, but by the teaching of.Jesus this black man Is your neighbor, and this sweeps away every objection that may be raised.” SIMS WAS FREED ON CHARGE OF THEFT Revenue Received The following was the revenue from each class of matter: Letters $276.03; postal cards $22.79; newspapers, (lc a pound) $4.04; tran sient (lc for 4 oz.) $3.43; first class other than letters $2.94; newspapers, local, at lc a copy, 90c; newspapers, local, at 2c a copy, 48c; third class matter, $18.55; fourth class matter $9.13.

Moreland, as al leged, and was exhonerated of the charge upon trial of the case in the city court yesterday. It was shown that the dog followed Sims aboard a train one night as he was leaving Americus, and that upon reaching the home of Cicero Hobbs, in Stew art county, he told Hobbs the cir cumstances and left the dog with Hobbs, accepting $2 from the latter to cover expenses in looking after the canine. Hobbs testified to this fea ture of the case, expecting the ow ner of the dog to reimburse him for the outlay of $2 paid Sims. The Jury brought a verdict of not guilty against Sims on the charge of simple lar ceny. The case was attended with considerable Interest by dog owners and others here, In view of the fact that many valuable animals have disappeared mysteriously In recent months and were never heard of more, the theory belDg that they were stol en. shipped away and sold by un known parties. H. B. Simmons, Esq., represented Sims, while Solicitor Childers, prosecuted the case. 1858—Theodore Roosevelt born In New York, October 27, son of .

C., October 26.- (Special)—Congratulatory telegrams and cablegrams are beginning arrive at the White House today from all parts, of the world, inanticipation of the 49th birthday tomorrow of President Roosevelt. Kings, queens and emper ors, ambassadors and diplomats, gov ernment officials and governors of states, and hundreds of private citi zens are Joining in the flood of well wishes. The president will spend the day quietly, attending church with his family, as usual, and there will be little beyond the customary Sunday routine to Indicate that the chief exe cutive of the nation has reached ano ther milestone In his Btrcnuous life, Past Y’ear Busy One The twelve months Just closed have been a busy period for the Chief Exe cutlve, and during that time ho has accomplished many things for the public good. His words and deeds have kept him constantly in the fore front of the world’s observations, and during recent weeks he has been more than ever, If possible, a conspi cuous figure on the stage of affairs. In variety of ways he has claimed the attention of the press and the com munity at large, but from many stand points he has been most prominent In relation to tho railroads and other great corporations. Incidentally he has done much to smooth away the ill- feeling between the UDited States and Japan over the disturbances in San Francisco, at the same time preserv ing a firm attitude by sending arranging to send a great fleet of American warships to the Pacific Coast. Among the first public acts of his 49th year was tho delivery of his message to Congress last December. Later the President sent special mes sages to Congress on the discharge of tho colored troops of the Twenty fifth Infantry, urging Bhip-subsldy legislation, asking for prompt action In regard to the break In the Colorado River threatening the Imperial Val ley, and in regard to several other matters of more or less public Inter est and importance. Reorganize Cabinet Early in the present year he sent Secretary Rot to Canada to confer witli tho Governor-Geenral on ques tions of common interest to the peo ple of the United States and Canada. In March lm reorganized his cabi net and in the same month sent Sec retary Taft to Panama and Cuba to look into the condition of affairs there. aLter he arranged the famous around-thc-world trip for the Secre tary of War, the results of which are expected to be of great importance In cementing the friendly relations of the United States and several forlgn countries. Early In the year he gave consider able attention to the dlstrabed condi tion of affairs In Central America and i of the - —: attach j to the disturbances In Wall street, which be considers rich men’s troubles. The South is In no way affected by the flurry, which Con gressman Lewis believes to be only temporary at worst. Farmers who have sold their cotton have money In bank and the South Is prosperous and happy. Congressman Lewis Is himself Pres ident of two banks at Montezuma, and. Is largely Interested In cotton. In an Interview published In the Atlanta Constitution, he says: “This is the serious and natural ending of overspeculation In high finances which has been going on for many years. It is virtually, to a large extent, a rich man's failure, and Involves only the unscrupulous and unjust manipulators of railroad stocks and manufacturing stocks such as steel, copper etc., all of whom have been playing very heavily with the fin ancial markets in the past few years. No Sympathy Wasted "The leaders," declared Mr. Lewis, “who have brought about this trouble haven’t much sympathy from the peo ple, because they have brought the misfortune on their own heads as well as the country. “It Is true a great many Innocent people have Invested in these securi ties and are great sufferers. This Is another case of where the Innocent oftlmes have to suffer for the misdo ings of others. "The New York banks, for here the money markets of the world are cen tered, have had a hard time for the' past six months In carrying these heavy loads and within the last few days Interest on money has run as high as 90 per cent In New York. But I believe most of the banks are sound and will weather the storm.” South Not Affected Asked about the affect of these ca lamities would have upon the south, Mr. Lewis smiled with an air of sat isfaction, and said; “The south ta In no way affected by this panic. Our banks are all in good condition. They have paid their in debtedness to the New York banks and are thoroughly independent of Wall street. ‘The farmers are in splendid con dition in this territory, for they have made good crops and have been sell ing their cotton on an average of 12 •ents, and all have.money in their pockets or on deposit in the banks. Cotton Too Low "While this panic Is the cause of a decline In cotton of 1 cent a pound within the past week, I believe cotton entirely too low, and it will steadily advance from now on. "Wo would have today one of the greatest panics ever known In the United States if It were not for the solidity of the south with Its 12-cent cotton and west with Its dollar bushel wheat." In conclusion, Mr. Lewis said: "I am very glad the time has come and to stay when the Southern people are independent and free from Wall street financial manipulators. However, I believe the worst Is now over In the financial troubles, and I look for much better times over the entire country.” STATE CAMP INVITED TO MEET IN AMERICUS Patriotic Sons in Meeting Next April. Americus will probably welcome within her gates In April next the State Encanmpmcnt, Patriotic Order, Sons of America At the recent meet ing of Washington Camp, No. 24, of this city. It was voted to extend the Stale Encampment an invitation to hold Its next annual conclave in Am ericus, and this has been done ac cordingly. There are twenty-five or thirty camps of this popular order in Georgia and should the invitation cf tho Americus enmy be accepted, as doubtless will bo done, it will bring hero a large and representative as semblage of the P.
