WHY SO WEAK
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping Your
Life Away '
When a healthy man or woman be
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de
pressed, suffers backache, headache,
dizzy spells* and urinary disorders,
look to the kidneys for the cause of
it all. Keep the kidneys well , and
and they will keep you well . Doan’s
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them well.
J. C. Culpepper, of State street, a
carpenter and one of the best known
residents of Albany, Ga, has tested
Doan's Kidney Pills to his entire sat
isfaction and speaks of them as fol
lows: "Yes, they certainly did me a
lot of good, I used them for backache
and urinary troubles from which I
had been suffering for years. I had
a constant dull pain across my loins,
so very severe at times as to .com
pletely lay me up. It was very bad
at night I could not rest well In
any position. I would wake up at
night and fell as though my back was
ocmlng apart. I was hardly able to
turn over in bed. The kidney secre
tions were very dark and contained
a sediment. The action of the kid
neys was altogether too free and
passages were accompanied with a
scalding sensation. This bothered me
a great deal during the day and of
ten at night I was called out of bed
several times, but until I obtained
Doan's Kidney Pills I found nothing
that helped me much. They did the
work quickly and since using them
I have not had the backache. The
urine has regained its color and con
tains no sediment I feel first rate.”

POLICY MAY BENEFIT A
BLIND MAN HERE
Discovery May be Import
ant One. '
Mr. Thomas Smith, a blind man and
most worthy citizen of Amerlcus, may
profit by a discovery made recently
by a friend while looking over an
Insurance policy issued Mr. Smith
several years ago, and which Is still
of force. It Is understood that a
clause In the policy provides against
blindness. In which event the holder
Is to receive a stipulated sum. sev
eral hundred dollars, annually. It
seems, from report, that Mr. Smith
\yas unaware of the existence of this
clause, probably not having read all
the conditions carefully when taking
out the policy In palmier days, when
he was chief of the Amerlcus fire
department. A friend In the Insur
ance business. It is said, has taken up
the matter In Mr. Smith’s behalf with
the company, and hope is expressed
that he will realize a sung sum in
due time. ' Mr. Smith Is totally blind
and helpless, and the public generally
will be pleased should he be able to
obtain the amount that would seem
to be due him under the clause In
bis Insurance policy.

GOV. HUDSON. IT SEEMS.
IN WAKE OE SMITH
Our Thomas G. a Probable
Candidate.
ATLANTA, March 4.—The latest
gossip in Georgia politics has it that
Commissioner of 4B r l c ulture T. G.
Hudson Is building his' fences with
a view to the attainment of/higher
honors than he has yet reached.
It comes pretty straight that Com
missioner Hudson would like to bp
Governor, and there are those who
believe he is laying his lines with a
view to making the effort to succeed
Gov. Smith at the close of his second
term. There are not a few who be
lieve that Commissioner Hudson will
be, ns things look at present, a can
didate for Governor before the Demo
cratic primary in 1910.
Until the passage through the state
of the agricultural special train un
der the direction of A. M. Soule Of
the State College of Agriculture,
which was accompanied by Commis
sioner Hudson, there had not been
much opportunity on the part of Mr.
Hudson's friends to observe to any
extent his particular ^methods of po
litical activity.
Some of those Who have accom
panied the train from time to time, be
came as much Interested in observing
the movements of the commissioner
of agriculture as In anything else
connected with the trip.
As a result they think they have
'a good line on him.”
"Why, nearly everybody In the
state calls,bis ‘Tom,’” said one of
the observers In copmen^ing upon
"I never saw anything like it I don’t
believe Gov Smith knows as many
men In Georgia as does Tom Hudson.
The truth o^ the matter la Tom
Hudson does his campaigning be-

time comes around he Is pretty well
satisfied as to the result before the
ballots are coupted.” V
That there has been found In Com
missioner Hudson another prospec
tive gubernatorial candidate will be
news to the politicians.
After Twenty-Nine Years
“For twenty-nine years I have been-
at Intervals a great sufferer! from
rheumatism,” writes James Hyde, of
Be^be, Ark. "During that time I
used gallons of various kinds of
liniments and oils, but got very little
relief. The attacks wore so bad that
I was often confined to my bed help
less for weeks and months at a
time.
“Not long ago, while suffering from
a severe attack, a sample bottle of
Sloan’s Liniment was sent to me
when I found that It gave me Instant
relief and I immediately ordered two
large bottles. I have used about a
half of one flfty-cent bottle, and feel
so well that I want everybody afflict
ed as I was to know what Sloan’s
Liniment has done for me, and I shall
have a feeling of gratitude for the
man who sent me the sample bot
tle.”
The New York World has completed
its self-imposed task of .naming six
teen Democrats who could poll more
votes than Mr. Bryan, but the answer-
remains the same: They could, bat
they won’t this year If Mr. Bryan
knows himself.—Washington Post
