THE REMEDY
FOR SOSES® ULCERS
the combination !ol healthful vegetable ingredients of which S. S. S. is
.nostfi, makes it an especially desirable and effective remedy in the treat-
c0 “'l 0 f tores and ulcers of every kind. Since an impure condition of the
Jrj j S responsible for the trouble, a medicine that can purify the blood is
fhponly hope of a successful cure; and it should be a medicine that not only
, „ cc g the circulation, but one that at the Same time restores the blood to
t normal, rich, nutritive condition. S. S. S. is lust such a remedy. It is
"“ lle entirely of healing, cleansing vegetable properties, extracted from na-
fLroots, herbs and barks of the forest and fields. It has long been
HUntmized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, possessing the qualities
luressary to remove everv impurity in the blood. When S. S. S. has purified
Up circulation, and strengthened and enriched it, sores and ulcers heal read-
iv and surely, because they are no longer fed and kept open by a continual
Ufcrharee into them of irritating disease-laden matter from the blood. S. S. S.
srimrs almut a healthy condition of the flesh by supplying it with rich,
mirishing blood and makes a permanent and lasting cure. Book ou Sores

The unusual spectacle of a well-
dressed traveling man, dlls kid-gloved
hands holding, a shovel as he stood
with the street gang, fas witnessed
yesterday in Dawson. The man was
fined $2.50 or ten days on tho streets
for putting .up lightning, rods without
taking out city license, he claiming
exemption under the Intesrstate com

he was turned over to the street

Services at the First Baptist church
on Sunday were In the nature of a
farewell to the Pastor, Rev. O. P.
Gilbert, who has resigned to accept
the charge of the Augusta church.
Large crowds attended the services,
a feeling of sadness pervading the
congregation at the leave-taking. At
night the congregation of the Furlow
Lawn Baptist church met with the
First church congregation In a Joint
testimonial of the general regret
among the Baptist of the city over
the departure of Mr. Gilbert to other
fields. Each service was In the way
of an ovation.
At the morning service resolutions
were read by Mr. Lee Allen relative
to the separation of pastor and peo
ple. These resolutions, which were
adopted by a unanimous vote, were as
follows:
“Whereas, our beloved pastor, Rev.
O. P. Gilbert, after three years of ef-
fleent and faithful service has resign
ed and accepted a call to AugUBta,
Georgia, therefore be It
"Resolved, that we, the First Bap-
church of Americus, deeply regret the

lick, remaining in .this attitude dur

were ended, he was released, with In

street superintendent this, morning.

with interest. Such druthmers strike

Not only the members of the Bap

tire Christian community will acc/pt
with regret the decision of Rev. O. P.
Gilbert to accept another charge. The
church to which he goes is consider
ably larger than the Americus church,
and Is one of. which he was pastor for
five years before coming here. He
also will receive a substantial ad

LOST HIS SALOON
BY TRICK WAGER
New York, Nov. 20.—The story of
an election wager which Involved the
loss of a saloon was told la Newark,
N. J„ yesterday. Morris Oelb, who
owned a saloon at 169 Ferry Street,
and who was the successful candidate
for -the office of Constable on t,he
Democratic ticket, bet his saloon
against $100 put up by Joseph Magee
that he wouldn't lose hlB license^ .It
Harrigan was elected Sheriff. Har
rlgan was elected, and In due course
Magee came around to take over the
saloon. „ „
"But I haven't lost my license, said
Gelb.
"No, but you will, for dont you
know It Is Illegal for a Constable
conduct a saloon?" replied Magee.
The transfer will be made in a day
or two. In the meantime Gelb is
wondering why Harrigan wan drag
ged Into the wager.

Pensions.
Sumter's 125 pennloners, like others
throughout the State, will have to do
without their pension money until
after the holidays, this fact being ren
dered necessary by the hole In the
State treasury, visible to the naked
eye, having been there for some time.
It Is not likely that the pensioners
will receive their last quarterly al
lowance. due to be paid on December
10, until after Christmas.
Commissioner Lindsey has address
ed the following letter to the ordinar
ies of the 146 Georgia counties.
“My Dear Judge: This department
Is all checked up and ready to pay
the fourth quarter pension, but I am
advised that the state has not tho
money to make the payment
"Say to the pensioners aa they call
nil t obe alarmed, that payment will
be made at tho earliest day possible,
when the funds are available.
"With best wishes and kindest re
gards. I am your friend.

It is likely that this, information
will bo sorely taken and disappointing
to the old veterans, who had antici
pated the payment to be made on the
scheduled date, December 10. Many
of them wanted the money expressly
for use before Christmas.

Chicago News.
A good detective makes light of his
In the Rosebud opening 6,176 persons
drew farms of 160 acres, making an
aggregate tract of 828,000 acres. For
this land- the lucky persons paid the
government anywhere from $1.25 to
$3.00 an acre, according to location..
That land Is now Belling at from
$30 to $50 an acre, so that the pos
sessors may be said to have gotten
a fortune from the government for a
song. * , t *
The Rosebud Is only one of the
vast tracts of Western lands which
the United States Is throwing open
to those of Its citizens who wish to
go out West and grow up with the
country. Either by drawings or by
the old “git thar" Bystem of rushing
Into the opened lands, at a given sig
nal, the government has already dis
posed of over 112,000.000 acres to
homesteaders. It still had on hand
of good, bad aud Indifferent land
something like 754,895,300 acres, which
some day will be giving its support
to a hardy, thriving population capa
ble of wresting riches from the soil.
Much of this land lies in Arizona
and New Mexico. Large tracts of It
are In'Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
Nearly all of it Is rich, requiring only
the magic of water to turn It from a
desert into a garden. The reclama
tion service la rapidly furnishing the
water, and the .holneseekers, who are
fortunate enough to draw their 160
acres each along the line of Irriga
tion canals need never fear for the
future. To the old Westerner, ac
customed to barely scratch his thou
sands of acres, and depend on Ipdul-
gent nature for his crops, the . 160-
acre farm does not seem a great deal
of land. But the farmer of the fu
ture will find it more than he can
cultivate scientifically, and its yield
greater than his needs.
Probably the next large land area
to be thrown open to settlers will be
the arable lands of the wonderful
Coeur d’Alene country. This Is a par
ticularly rich and picturesque region
In the rainy belt ofi Idaho, and Its
soil Is considered tnost desirable. It
harbors many lakes, but the Indians
will probably be allowed to retain
the acreage along the shores of the
streams and bodies of water. , But the
best tillable lands will be , thrown
open to settlers’, and some Of them
are even now estimated to be worth
$100 per acre. Even at this late
date. It must sometimes seem/worth
while for the young man in search of
fortune to follow Horace Greeley’s
advice.

GROWTH OF ADVERTISING
(Commercial Union.)
The science and art of newspaper
advertising has developed wonderful
ly In. the past fifteen years. So much
so that it Is a question as to which
feature of the newspaper is the more
Interesting—the news or the advertis
ing department. For many years lit
tle or no advertising was used in
the newspapers. At that time It was
considered of minor Importance and
the publisher depended for the popu
larity of his paper almost entirely
upon the news articles and editorials.
That time has passed and other and
more Important features claim the at
tentlon of the people. Advertising is
the one feature that stands out In
first position bv the common con
sent of the trading public.
In fact, advertising Is eo» highly
regarded that it Is claimed by many
publishers to bo the best feature of
a newspaper. A newspaper without
advertising would soon be a news
paper without circulation,- What
would a modern newspaper look like
If Its columns contained no advert Is
in',-7 it would lose much of its bright
ness and Interest to the general pub
lic. The people everywhere demand
that advertisements be published. The
shrewd business manager,knows this,
perhaps, better than anyone else and,
therefore, largely edits the newspaper
with attractive advertisements.
The artistic way In which adver-
it .snnla a ro lildPPfl In th#»
per is having a wonderful effect on
justness. A man can almost control
trade If he a*rtlscs widely in the
newspapers. Tnfs fact has been clear
ly proven by the principal merchants
In all tho leading towns and cities of
the United States.
The business men of this country
believe In newspaper advertising to
the extent that last year more than
six hundred million dollars wore
spent for it. That Is'n large amount
of money. It Is about as much In
value as the annual cotton crop of
the United States. It Is larger than
the wheat crop of the entire country,
and Is more than the Combined cap
ital of. all the national banks In the
United States.
And now,'notwithstanding the fore
going statements, Borne good men will
stand up and say that newspaper ad
vertising will not pay. They are-sim
ply behind the, times and fall to
comprehend the facts as they exist
The truth Is that they do not know,
because they have never tried It.

PASSING OF THE TEDDY BEAR
PEAOI GROWERS -
GELLING TOGETHER
Meetings Being Held Over
State.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov! 23.—Meetings of
peach growers under the auspices of
the Organization Committee of the
Georgia Fruit Exchange were held
Inst week at Romo, Haddocks and Mar-
■hallvtlle, and two more meetings
will be held tills week. The first
will be at Round Oak, in Jones coun
ty on Tuesday; and tho other at
Summeiiville, near Rome, in North -
Georgia, on next Friday.
The Hound Oak meeting will be
addressed by H. C. Bagley, Chairman
of the Organisation Committee, and
by 1. M. Fleming, who resigned Ills
position with the Fruit Growers' Ex
press to aid the Georgia fruit grow
ers In their fight for better prices
and a more thorough organization.
Doth these gentlemen will explain
the purposes of the Exchange, and
will enlist tho aid of local growers.^ '
Round Oak Is a peach-growing cen
ter of Importance, and Mr. John H.
Baird, of Fort Vnlloy, who owns a
large orchard there, will he present
to aid the movement.
The Summerville meeting will be -
addressed by Messrs. Bagley and '
Fleming, who will be assisted by Mr. v
John Graham of Rome, and by Mr. J.
S. Davis, of Cave Spring. A large -
attendance of peach growers is ex
pected at both gatherings.
The railroads are in accord with
the movement, because through the ■
proposed Exchange all adjustments of
claims can bo settled In .a prompt.
Just and businesslike manner. They '
will also have the advantage of deal- -
ling with a practical transportation
man in. the person of Mr. Fleming.
The latter has dealt with the grow- -
ers so long that the new arrange- -
ment will amount only to resuming:
an old relation.
