A Poor Waviaijfc
To Treat |I|3S
GATARRHtftIfc
No one would *be so foolish as to kindle the fire on top
of a pot to make it boil, yet the treatment of Catarrh is often
just as senseless and illogical. Douches, sprays, ointments,
so-called tobacco cures, and various other applications, are
diligently used, but the little good accomplished is swept away
by the first breath of winter. When you attempt to cure a . -
constitutional disease —one affecting the entire system with
purely local remedies, you are applying the fire to the top
the pot, you are doctoring symptoms, and, like thousands of_ ■BIH
others, get disappointing results. In Chronic Catarrh, the whole system becomes involved;
the entire mucous membrane, or inner covering of the body, is in a state of high inflamma
tion. The pressure of blood upon the glands and cells produce excessive secretion of mucus,
much of which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body. In this
way the stomach, kidneys aud intestines are often seriously affected.
The nose, throat and ears are most frequently attacked by this foul disease, because
the mucous lining- is exposed to the cold, damp air, which attracts the vitiated blood to the
St. Joseph, Mo., March 24, 1901.
I had a bad case of Catarrh; my nose
was always stopped up and my head
ached continually, and the odor of my
breath was sickening. I had a most
annoying cough, also. I tried a number
of remedies and was treated by several
doctors, but got no relief—my case was
thought to be incurable. S. S. S. being
recommended to me, I began its use, and
after taking nine bottles was cured, and
have never been troubled with Catarrh
since. MISS MARY £>. STORM,
, 601 Francis Street.
Blinding headaches, neuralgia of the eyes and dizziness are also symptoms of this
disease, and when the inflammation reaches the delicate mechanism of the ear, hearing is lost,
and, as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned, the tissues and soft bones in the head are
eaten out, greatly disfiguring the face. At this stage of Catarrh the breath becomes insuffer
ably offensive. S. S. S. is the simplest and most effective treatment for Catarrh, and when
taken into the circulation reaches all parts of the system and cleanses the blood of all
Catarrhal matter and restores it to a normal condition. When rich, new blood begins to flow
through the veins, the obstructed glands and broken down cells resume their natural
functions, and the hot and inflamed membranes are lubricated and moistened with a soothing,
healing fluid that quickly brings relief to the congested parts. S. S. S. puts the blood in
such perfect condition and so strengthens and invigorates the general health that the local
manifestations of the disease gradually disappear, the dis
charge from the nose ceases, the head clears, breathing
f becomes easy and natural, the appetite improves, and a
perfect and permanent cure is effected.
1 I S. S. S. is the only guaranteed purely vegetable blood
J purifier. It contains no minerals to further poison the
blood and derange the digestion, but can be taken with
perfect safety in all stages and forms of Catarrh. Our physicians will gladly advise, with
out charge, all who write them about their case. Book on Blood and Skin Diseases free.

Several weeks ago you were kind
enough to allow -me to sav through
your columns to my friends that
I was a candidate for governor,
and at the proper time would go
before the people and submit m v
views upon the public questions I
considered properly at issue. Since
then my time has been entirely
occupied in the effort to so arrange
my private affairs that they might
be conducted during my absence
in the canvass without sacrifice or
material injury. The time con
sumed in this has already resulted
in injury to myself, politically,
and further delay would be dis
tinct injustice to my friends. The
time has, therefore, arrived for a
positive decision.
After the nmturest considera
tion I have concluded that I can
not abandon and sacrifice a busi
ness, the foundation of which are
the result of twenty-five years of
constant labor, and the successful
continuance of which will yet re
surface, causing congestion of the little blood vessels and
glands, making breathing difficult and labored; the throat
becomes parched and dry; the hot, watery discharge from
the nose gradually changes to a yellowish color and
becoming more profuse and tenacious, drops back into the
throat, causing gagging and almost constant coughing to
dislodge it. This offensive discharge, in spite of all pre
cautions, finds its way into the stomach, and extreme
nausea and an obstinate form of dyspepsia foUow.

BRIEF SKETCH OF .
COL. J. H. ESTILL
Distinguished Georgian In
Race For Governor.
HIS VERY SUCCESSFUL CAREER
Beginning at the Bottom Rung, By
Close Application, Industry, Intelli
gence, Honesty and Frugality, He
Has Climbed to the Top.
The career of Colonel John Hol
brook Estill, of Chatham county, whose
candidacy for the governorship of
Georgia is attracting so much favora
ble attention in all sections of the
state, is an inspiration to the youth
ot the land having*the courage to “do”
and the stamina to "stick.” It is a
present and potent illustration of the
fact that industry, frugality, intelli
gence and honesty will win if consist
ently adhered to in all the walks of
life, and of the old proverb that “What
ever is worth doing is worth doing
well.” It is one of the cardinal princi
ples of Colonel Estill’s life to do well
everything that he undertakes; to go
into and master details; to get a firm
grasp upon tho small particulars, and
thus secure a dependable hold upon
the larger matters. No man is more
careful to be sure of his footing and
none more confident of his ground
when he has taken a stand. He does
not jump to a conclusion, but arrives
there by the conservative process of
reasoning, after taking into considera
tion all the points of view. That his
reasoning is in tlye main always cor
rect and his judgment sound could
have no better exemplification than in
his own fortunes. Beginning at the
very bottom rung of the ladder after
the war of secession—working as ala

borer in the printing establishment
which he now owns, and for a labor
er’s wages—he has climbed by his own
efforts to a position of comfort and im
portance. By zeal, by labor, by untir
ing energy, by the exercise of mother
wit and calm judgment, he has risen
from the position of an employed me
chanic to that of an employer, finan
cier and man of affairs. And notwith
standing his altered jiosition, he en
joys relating anecdotes of his early
struggles as a mechanic more than
telliag of his later triumphs. Nor are
the friends of his more strenuous days
forgotten, as a number of them have
reason to know. Once a friend, always
a friend, is his style.
Colonel Estill is in his sixty-second
year, and looks fifteen years younger.
He was born in South Carolina, but is
a Georgian, blood, bone and brain, hav
ing lived in this state since his youth
and given the vigor and strength of
his manhood to defending the state in
war and building up her interests in
peace. He takes pride in the fact that
he was a private in the Confederate
army and fought in the ranks with
"the boys in butternut and jeans” un
til he was so severely wounded in Vir
ginia, where be went with the Eighth
Georgia regiment, that he had to he
sent home. And while still an invalid
from the wound he volunteered to aid
in the defense of his beloved city of
Savannah against the invading army
under Sherman. His military record,
as honorable as man could wish, is em
balmed in the records of the troops
that Georgia sent to uphold the Con
federacy and punctuated with the
scars of bullets upon his body. His
military title, however, is the laurel of
peace, bestowed for both military and
civic services rendered in patriotic
love for the commonwealth. It was
first conferred by the lamented Gen
eral Alfred H. Colquitt when he was
elected governor, in 1878, and after
wards reconferred by each succeeding
governor up to and including the ad
ministration of Hon. W. J. Northen,
which ended in 1894.
While Colonel Estill has never been
a politician in the ordinary meaning
of the word, he has always taken a
deep interest and often a leading part
in the political affairs of Georgia and
the south, and his politics has always
been of the straight Democratic brand
without the slightest qualification. The
party has always known where to find
him, and the leaders have consulted
him with respect to matters of great
moment. He has serve 1, among other
places, as member for Georgia on the
Democratic National committee, as
Chairmnn of the executive committee
or the First Georgia congressional dis
trict and as chairman of the state
Democratic, executive committee. His
time, his talents Rnd his purse have
never been denied to the party when
wanted. He has never held an impor
tant political office, for the reason that
he never sought to do so. Several
desirable presidential appointments
have been within his grasp if he chose
to take them, but in each instance ho
declined to accede to the importuni
ties of friends and recommended oth
ers for the places. While holding aloof
from office holding under the national
government, he has accepted positions
of trust in his home county and city.
It is as a business man, however,
that Colonel Estill ranks the very
great majority of his fellows. When
ever and wherever he has served the
public—on political national or state
committee, on school hoard, on county
board, or elsewhere —he has been call
ed upon to deal with the business side
of the matter under consideration.
This is because of his success in the
management of his private affairs. Be
ginning with the wage of $1 a day in
the press room of The Morning News,
ne has not only become the proprietor
of that property and made it one of the
most prosperous publishing establish
ments in the south, issuing every day
in the year a newspaper that would
be a credit to any city in the United
States, but he has taken rank among
the first as a hank official and financier
whose judgment is always accepted as
safe when there is doubt among his
conferees. As an editor, he commands
respect for his thoughtfulness and con
servatism. without surrendering con
viction. Asa business man, he com
mands confidence for his thoroughness
and the ability to comprehend a large
problem without losing sight of the de
tails. It has been said —and no doubt
with good reason —that his newspaper
and printing establishment is one of
COLONEL J. H. ESTILL.
the most thoroughly systematized busi
nesses in the country. No loose ends
are left hanging anyhere. The whole
concern moves along like a piece of
well oiled machinery. The same ef
fort to effect co-operation, and success
in that effort, characterizes all of his
enterprises. He is at the head of a
building and loan corporation that has
assisted a great number of wage earn
ers to own their homes or lay aside
something for a "rainy day.” He is an
earnest advocate of living within one’s
means, which principle he applies to
corporations as well as to individuals.
He thinks that no obligation should he
contracted without arrangements being
made to discharge it; that if a man or
a corporation make a debt the means
of paying it off should be in sight.
Personally Colonel Estill is a teeto
taler. No man has a greater abhor
rence of the drink habit than he. At
the same time he recognizes that ev
ery man who takes a drink of liquor is
not a drunkard, and that every man
who refrains from drinking is not a
saint. He believes in temperance, but
not in state prohibition, for the rea
son that temperance cannot be Incul
cated by legislative enactment any
more than morality can be forced by
means of a policeman’s club. He fa
vors local option with respect to the
liquor traffic, because experience has
taught that no community can be su
perior to the majority sentiment there
of, and no community can have even a
decent semblance of prohibition un
less the majority of its people are In
favor of the total suppression of the
liquor traffic. Under the existing local
option law in Georgia, when the ma
jority of a community decides against
the sale of liquor it is within the pow
er of such community to have the traf
fic suppressed. Local option is based
upon the sound Democratic principle
of local self-government, and no sys
tem of government has ever been de
vised that is more satisfactory than
that of permitting the people to de
cide for themselves under what code
of morals they shall live. He believes
that it is always safe to trust the ma
jority of a free and enlightened people
to do what is right for their own good’.
Colonel Estill is Thirty-second de
gree Mason and a past Junior Grand
Warden of the Grand Lodge of Geor
gia. He is also one of the oldest mem
bers of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows in Georgia. In religion he
is an Episcopalian, and is a vestry

CIGARS AND BOXES.
Cedar Now So Scarce That Other
Woods Arc Used For Cheap Weeds.
“Cedar boxes are not used as ex
tensively now as they used to be,”
said a well known tobacco man,
“and the reason for this is clear
enough when wc come to think of
it. Cedar is not as plentiful now
as it once was. Time was when all
the cigars shipped from Cuba to
this country and cigars of home
manufacture were packed in cedar
boxes. But this is not the case now.
“Cedar, of course, is the best
wood in the world for this purpose.
It gives a pleasant odor and even a
good flavor to the cigar and keeps
out the various insects and worms*'
that are inclined to burrow into to
bacco. Insects will have nothing to
do with cedar. The wood is too
strong. For this reason boxes made
of material of this kind have been
of vast value to tho cigar manufac
turers. Ido not mean that cedar is
not used at all now, for as a matter
of fact cedar is extensively used.
All cigars of the liner and more
costly grade made in this country
and elsewhere are packed in cedar
boxes. This is one of the require
ments of the trade.
“But when it comes to the cheap
er grades cheaper material is used.
It may look like cedar, but it isn’t.
It is an imitation. It serves the
purpose. The wood does not de
tract at all from the brand of cigars
packed in this way. They would be
no better if packed in boxes gold
lined and highly spiced and per
fumed. They would smell sweeter;
that’s all. Stained poplar and other
light woods of sufficient fineness of
grain, and even stained oak, are
sometimes used for the purpose.
But the cedar box is not nearly so
numerous, now as in the halcyon,
days, and the time may come when
this kind of boxes will not be known
at all in the tobacco trade, and yet
one is inclined to pray that it may
not ho so.”—New Orleans Times-
