Walter R. McDonald Candidate
For Railroad Commission
Walter R. McDonald, the blind legis
lator from Richmond county, is a can
didate for the Railroad Commission of
Georgia to Succeed Hon. C. Murphy
Candler, who is not offering for re
election.
At the age of thirteen, a poor boy
on his father’s small farm in Richmond
County, near Augusta, the youngest of
seven children, he was suddenly strick
en with total blindness. Realizing that
the light of day had been forever
barred from his vision, the young farm
er boy set out to win an education
and with a determination to serve his
state In spite of his handicap of blind
ness. Having advanced only to the
fourth grade in common school, and
knowing that his family was unable to
give mm an education, he set to work
and, by his own effort, working during
school terms and vacation, earned and
paid for his education, graduating from
the University of Georgia in 1914.
Since that time he has successfully
practiced law In the City of Augusta,
fjere he is considered one of the
ablest of the younger lawyers of that
section. McDonald is now in his early
thirties.
tfr McDonald is a man whose cheer
fulness is an inspiration to his friends
of whom there are thousands. As an
evidence of his popularity and ability
the voters of Richmond county have
for three successive terms sent him to
the fltate Legislature over opposition.
LET US DO YOUR JOB
PRINTING.
Walter R. McDonald.
In the Legislature, he has made an
active, efficient and able member.
Mr. McDonald’s host of friends
throughout the state confidently pre
dict his election, and, if elected, Geor
gia will have a capable and efficient of
ficer and the people of Georgia will
have, in this self-made, blind man, an
honest and true public servant.

create a healthy appetite and cause a
gentle movement of the bowels.

Cause of Appendicitis.
When the bowels are constipated,
the lower bowels or large intestines
become packed with refuse matter,
that is made up largely of germs.
These germs enter the vermiform ap
pendix and set up inflammation,
which is commonly known as appen
dicitis. Take Chamberlain’s Tablets
when needed and keep your bowels
regular and you have little to fear
from appendicitis.

Messrs. H. A. Cliett, county agent,
and R. E. Lee Hawkins, manager of
•the Barnesville Potato curing plant,
visited Hawkinsville the past week,
looking into the question of growing
onions. They were much impressed
with the importance and the financial
profit of the onion industry and they
want to form a club of farmers of
Lamar county for growing onions.
They believe it can be made profit
able here, if a club for growing an 1
marketing onions can be formed.
Mr. Cliett or Mr. Hawkins will be
glad to give all possible information
to any farmer who may be interested
in the matter.
THAT DULL ACHING
Don’t worry and complain about a
bad back. Get rid of it! For weak
kidneys, lame and achy backs, your
neighbors recommend Doan’s Kidney
Pills. Ask your neighbor!
W. J. Gordy, retired merchant, 229
Forsyth St., Barnesville, says: “I
had catches of pain through my back
which made me almost helpless at
times. A heavy dull ache settled
across my kidneys and felt as if it
were gnawing through me. I felt
tired and weak and my kidneys acted
too frequently. The secretions
passed with a scalding sensation but
I found the occasional use of Doan’s
Kidney Pills keeps me in good shape.
Doan’s gave me relief from every
sign of the distress in a short time.”
Price 60, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Gordy had. Foster Milbutn Cos.,
