Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
back or aching back they think that
It Is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets In they think
It will soon correct itself. And so It
Is with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders. This Is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they lead to diabetes or,
Bright’s disease. The best remedy to,
use Is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Amerlcus people
testify to permanent cures.
A. A. Willis, a well-known farmer,
living juat outside of Amerlcus, says:
"I believe that your pills are all that.
Is claimed for them. I had kidney
trouble and backache, from which I
had been a sufferer for many years.
After lying or sitting in one position
for any length of time I could hardly
get up on account of the dull heavy
pain in the small of my back. At
times I seemed to almost lose the use
of my back, and would have to take
whole of something for support. The
kidney secretions were disordered, be
ing dark and full of sediment, and of
a strong odor. I used many different
remedies but without much If any
benefit until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills.
Since using them my back feels
strong. The pain has left It. and the
kidney secre'tlonss have also been re
stored to normal conditions. You
are welcome to use my name as a
reference.”

LOCAL TEAM GOING TO HOLDS FOR HIGH PRICE
BUILD PARK AT ONCE
Getting Ready for Season’s
Ball.
With an excellent ball team, well
organized and playing In harmony af
ter several days of practice, the
Americus club wants to measure bats
with some of the neighboring teams.
Before this Is done, however, the
locals propose putting the ball park
In perfect trim, rebuilding the fence,
grandstand and bleachers and making
other needed improvements. The
club has In Its treasury already half
the amount required to defray this
expense, and will ask contributions
to the amount of only $150. Surely,
with the promise of excellent ball here
this summer enthusiasts will quickly
contribute this sum, which will Insure
the rebuilding of the ball park. A
committee will ask for subscriptions
today and expect a generous res
ponse. Already a date has been made
with Cordele to play here, and it 1*
desired to rush the work at the park
to that end.
SELLS AT TEN CENTS
Weary Holder Lets Cotton
Sell at Last.
Cotton sales in Amerlcua Wednesday
Included probably one hundred and
fifty bales, which had long been
held for higher price*. The higher
price did not materalize and as a
result the owners of this cotton will
pocket a loss of $1,600 or $2,000.
Twelve cents oeemed too low, and
the bale's were put hack In the-ware*
’ house to await the advance that was
surely coming soon. When the mar
ket dropped to 11 cents the holding
process continued on, with the hope
that prices would soon go back to 12
cents. . And thus, the bales followed
the decline until yesterday, *ben
10 cents or a fraction less wa * ® c *
cepted. This was probably a vise
course, that Is, selling even at i #
cents, as it looks now Hke “unexam
pled prosperity” Is going to PJ®
cotton down to 9 cents and possimr
lower than that figure by the timo
the new crop begins to come in.
