BEWARE! That case of malaria may be come chronic. Many people think they are free from it, and attribute their low state of health to various other reasons, s The chronic effects are Anaemia, yellow skin, enlargement of the spleen and liver, together with a general low state of health. Stop trying to cure the effects. Get rid of the cause by taking Oxidine, a preparation that drives malaria out of your blood. It is also an excellent tonic, and will make your system strong enough to resist any further effects from this dreadful disease. The Behrens Drag Co. Waco. Texas. lIAKV Cl V V II ICD PLACED ANYWHERE HAROLD SOMERS, ISO De Kalb N. Y. WAIL FROM THE PESSIMIST Unkind Remark Might Have Tended to Becloud the Happiness of Pro spective Bridegroom. He was a young man who had. come Into town to be married. At the sta tion he inquired for a minister and the names and addresses of several were given him. But all of them seemed so far from the station that he asked for one nearer. “Well, I don’t know of any nearer than this one,” the informer pointed to one number. “But you’ll find a jus tice of the peace just about a block from here, son.” The young man shook his head. “I don't want a justice of the peace,” he said. "I don’t like the sound of that.” A man leaning against the window rose. “Oh, you won’t mind so much after ward about that sound,” he said. “This affair is goin’ to mark the end of all the peace you’ve ever had.” Speedy Relief S From Habitual Constipation The liver is the largest and most Im portant organ in the body, and when the liver refuses to act, it causes constipa tion, biliousness, headaches, indigestion, gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysen tery, diarrhoea, pains In back and under shoulder blades and under ribs on right side. These symptoms lead to colds. In fluenza or other serious troubles unless corrected Immediately. An inactive liver places an extra bur den on the kidneys, which overtaxes them and causes the blood to absorb and car ry Into the system the impurities that the liver and kidneys have failed to elimi nate. When you treat the liver alone, you treat only a third of your trouble, and that is why you have to take purgatives every few nights. Calomel or other ordi nary laxatives do not go far enough. If you would treat your kidneys and blood while treating the liver, you would put your entire system in order and frequent purgatives would then be unnecessary. Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years ago recognized these important facts, and aft er much study and research, compounded what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock's Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders, three medicines combined in one. This was the Doctor’s favorite prescription for many years, being used by his patients with marked success. It is a harmless vegeta ble remedy that will not make you sick, and you may eat anything you like while taking it. Get a large tin box from your druggist or dealer for 23c, under his personal guar antee that it will give relief, tone up the Uver, stimulate the kidneys to healthy action and thereby purify the blood. If your dealer will not supply you, it will be mailed direct by the Hitchcock Medi k-clne Co., Atlanta, Ga., upon receipt of l orlce.—Adv.

' STATE SOLONS NOW IN SESSION EVERY CLASS OF PROPERTY SHOULD BE MADE TO BEAR JUST SHARE OF LOAD STATE NEWSJF INTEREST Brief News Items Gathered Here and There From All Sections Os The State Atlanta.—That the lawmakers must give eariy and dispassionate attention to the financial condition of the state and the needs of her institutions, was urged upon the house shortly after it met by Speaker John N. Holder and Chairman George H. Carswell of the appropriations committee. The speaker referred to the work of last year, declaring that after ad journment, he had been in receipt of many letters lauding the general as sembly for its splendid accomplish ments. He spoke of the five vacan cies that have occurred since that time, and paid a high tribute to those whose faces will be missed this year. Representative Carswell secured imnaniinous consent to correct, he de clared, the impression that the pres ent condition of the treasury was ab normal. He said that it was due to the fact that by far the greater part of the revenue for 1920 had not been collected and would not be due until near the end of the year, while the ap propriations had to be met to keep the state institutions open. The same situation occurred each year, he said, He cited the report of Comptroller General Wright to show that there would be a balance of SIOO,OOO of 1920 revenue over last year’s 1920 appropri ations, asing it on an estimated in crease of $233,000,000 of tax returns. He took practically all hope out vi this picture, however, when he added the state stood to lose $600,000 if the case involved the oil and fertilizer fees were decided against it, and that the legislature was absolutely commit ted to an additional appropriation of $500,000 to pay the Confederate pen sioners, added to the rolls by the serv ice pension constitutional amendment. The application for these pensions had already been aprpoved and the appli cants were waiting for their money, he said. Mr. Carswell proposed a temporary remedy for the situation. He said that there was now $1,400,000 idle in the treasury to the credit of the state highway board. This should be turned in to the treasury to be used as other funds are/ used and paid back to the highway commission when the taxes Cor 1926 were collected in the fall. He said that he made this suggestion as a friend of good roads and of the highways administration. The tempo rary use of this money for other pur poses, he said, would tide the state over a difficult situation and would not inconvenience the highway depart ment. November 11, Armistice Day, was designated as a legal holiday by a res olution introduced by Senators Kaigler Bell of the twelfth and fifty-first dis tricts, respectively. The resolution was passed unanimously by the upper house, and is expected to receive fa vorable consideration of the house. That all flags should be flown at half mast on this day as a tribute to the men who died in the world war is a provision of the resolution. New Peanut Mill Saves Picking Nuts 1 Macon. —A peanut mill which will utilize every part of the vine is to be installed by the National Milling com- i pany of Macon between now and Oc tober 1. The mechanical equipment, i which will be modern in every way and cost in excess of $300,000. has al- 1 ready been ordered. The mill will have a capacity of 60 tons of peanuts ] per day. The machinery includes a ' separator which will take the peanuts i from the vines, grading and shelling the nuts, baling the stalks and leaves ] as hay and crushing the smaller nuts < for oil and peanut meal, and the hulls i for meal to be used in fdteds. The ' new process will eliminate the labor I of picking the peanuts theretofore a ] hindrance in the commercial handling s of the product. < 1 Officer Answers Murder Charge 1 Atlanta. —The first murder trial in i the federal district court in nearly < two years has been set by Judge Sam- I uel H. Sibley for July 1, when Tom i Curtis, former deputy United States i marshal, will go on trial charged with shooting and killing Bob and Oscar S Henderson in Uuion county three years ago, when they attempted to prevent t Curtis from arresting their father, I Tom Henderson, for whom Curtis held t a warrant charging illicit distilling, i The last murder trial in federal court i here was in 1918, when Dimiter Po- ’ poss was convicted of murder in the e first degree for killing Dr. James R. t Brock, deputy warden of the federal t I prison. \ Drowned Boy’s Body Recovered \ Atlanta. —The body of Will Reed, col ored, who was drowned in the lake at * the Southeastern fair grounds during t the colored picnic at the fair grounds ( June 7, was recovered after being in c the water for over two weeks.

Absent 25 Years, Returns To Wife Americus.—Unexpected by bis wife who had waited for his return since he left Americus twenty-five years ago J. W. Clark returned hero a few days ago. When he walked into his wife's | home, unannounced, he found her liv ing in the same room of the same house, where they had resided togeth or twenty-five years ago. Much of the furniture which they had then used also remained in the roenn. Recogni tion was mutual, although neither had seen the other during a quarter of a century. Since Mr. Clark left Amer icus, his two children have both died, his daughter having grown into a beautiful young woman, and having died only a few years ago. During his absence he had written Mrs. Clark occasional letters, and it is said he amassed a considerable fortune through striking a homestead in Car raco county, Oklahoma, adjoining re cently developed oilfields. Several years ago, it was stated, Mr. Clark, af ter soliciting his wife to leave Amer icus arid live with him, suggested that she secure a divorce, but Mrs. Clark declined to do this. Several years ago her father, the late Mr. Frank Hill, passed away, and about a year ago Mrs. Clark’s mother, who had resided with her, also died. Mr. Clark re turned home, it is said, soon after he learned Mrs. Clark’s mother had died, and the reunion was a joyous one. Big Attendance At Georgia B. Y. P. U. Gainesville. —Heavy attendance has marked the twenty-fifth annual state convention of the Baptist Young Peo ple's Union held here. The official delegates to the assembly numbered 900, representing the 1,100 unions in the state. In addition to the dele gates, many visitors came, swelling the attendance to nearly two thou sand at all sessions. President James Merritt presided over the sessions and delivered the annual address. Speak ing of the growth of the organization, he stated that at the present time there are 1,100 unions in Georgia. He made a plea for the establishment of other unions in the 1,400 Baptist churches of the state which, be said, have not organized them. A plan to remodel the state convention into six district conventions was approved by Mr. Mer ritt. Joe Ruffin Trial To Be Heard Oct. 26 Millen.—News has reached Millen that the trial of Joe Ruffin, now in jail in Chatham county for the mur der of Oficers Brown and Stephens, in Jenkins county, during April last year, will be Tuesday, October 26. Ruffin was never tried in Jenkins county, but the case was carried to Chatham by change of venue granted to Judge A. B. Lovett of Ogeechee cir cuit. The case was tried in Chatham superior court the early part of this year and the negro, Joe Ruffin, was sentenced to hang by Presiding Judge Peter W. Meldrim. A motion for a new trial was duly made by attorneys representing Ruffin and, after carefully considering the matter, Judge Meldrim granted the new trial several weeks ago and only recently set the date. Brunswick Price Committee “Fired” Brunswick.—The local fair price committee, which was appointed by Mayor J. Hunter Hopkins, several months ago, has been dispensed with by State Fair Price Commissioner John Manget because it failed to func tion. Mr. Manget wired Brunswick as follows: “Kindly anonunee that fair price committee appointed by your mayor six months ago has failed to function and has no further authority in Brunswick. Brunswick merchants will be held accountable for rulings of the Georgia fair price commission, which are published by leading news papers of the state, including The Ban ner, and prosecutions will be ordered upon receipt of affidavits of viola tions.” South Georgia Faces An Ice Famim Tifton. —With hot weather here, the people of South Georgia afe threaten ed with an ice famine. Ice plants in this section have to have ammonia with which to make ice, and the sup ply of amonia in the terirtory is exhausted. There is plenty of ammo nia at the factories in the east and west, but that is a long way off, with freight congested, another strike im pending and no way of getting it to ( south Georgia. Manager Smith of the i Georgia public service company re- \ ports his supply of ammonia is getting i low, but fortunately he has so far been i able to meet the demands for ice. , Other towns are not so fortunate, and the ice plants are already having to | run below capacity and are unable U , meet the demands. , SI,COO Reward Not To Be Awarded | Savananh. —It is probable no one , will receive the SI,OOO reward offered t for the capture of Philip Gaithers, ( negro, who was lynched as the alleged ) murderer of Miss Anza Jaudon, Sher- f if Seckinger of Effingham county says. , The reward offered for his arrest also [ stipulates that the negro should he t delivered to the Effingham county au- t thorities, the sheriff eays, and this \ was not done. j Will Name Citizens’ Ticket In Griffin Griffin. —At a mass meeting called by the Griffin board of trade, a com- f mittee of seventeen was appointed for t the purpose of nominating three can- ( didates on a citizens’ ticket for city / commissioners.

GOLDEN TEXT—David behaved him self wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him.—l Sam. IS: 14. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—I Sum. 19: 1-17; Ephes. 6:10-20. PRIMARY TOPIC-David and the Giant. JUNIOR TOPIC Tho Slieiiliord Boy Conquers a Giant. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Fighting the Good Fight. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Overthrowing Modern Goliaths. I. David in Camp (I Samuel, 17). While (lie armies stood eyeing eucli other for battle the Philistines, having a warrior among them of great strength, sought to decide (lie war by a combat between two selected cliain pions. The nation whose champion was slain was to be subject to the other. 1. The champions (vv. 4-37). (J) Goiiatli of the Philistines (vv. 4-11). Note his characteristics: (a) He was a giant (v. 4). Saul made no attempt to meet this giant. Even Jonathan, who hml distinguished himself at Michtnash (I Sam. 14), seems to have lacked in courage, (b) He was filled with conceit, llis size, his panoply of war and Bits strength caused him to be lieve that no evil could befall him. (c) He was boastful. Likely his repu tation reminded them of a former ex perience when Samson, Israel’s giant, wrought such great mischief among them, (d) He was defiant. He openly defied the array of Israel—the people of the Most High, (e) He was scorn ful. He treated the Israelites with the utmost contempt. (2) David the Israelite (vv. 13-37). In the providence of God, David was sent to the camp at a time to hear the boasting of this proud and contempti ble Philistine. His three eldest broth ers were in the army and his father sent him with some provisions for them as well as for the captain. While talking with his brothers Goliath made his appearance. The sight of Israel’s cowardice and lack of zeal for God prompted David to offer his service. He was uot a Mind enthusiast who dis regarded tho use of means, but was careful to use means, and most partic ular as to what they should be. He put aside the untried armor of Saul, knowing that God’s will for him was to use by faith that which he hud thought insignificant. 2. The battle (vv. 38-48). When Go liath beheld David coming up against him he cursed him by his gods Dagon, Baal and Astarte, showing (hat it was not merely a battle between David and Goliath, hut between the true God and false gods. David hastened to meet Goliath. A stone from his sling smote Goiiatli and lie fell to the eartli upon liis face. David went forth in the name of the Lord of Hosts that all the earth might know that there was a God in Israel. 3. The victory (vv. 49-58). Goliath was killed and the Philistine army routed. This victory Is a prophecy of a greater one when the devil, the de fiant enemy of God, slain he broken and his army put to flight. 11. David in Court (18:1-16). 1. Saul jealous of David (vv. 1-!)). David went unto battle with Goliath oat of zeal for God arid true religion, not for persona! glory; but it turned out as always, that because he made God first, God honored him. “Him that honoreth me, I will honor.” Upon David’s return from the pursuit of the Philistines ho was met by a triumphal chorus of women from all the cities of Isruel, shouting praises unto him for his victory over their enemies. This was too much for Saul. This was but tiie occasion which fanned into a flame the passion which lingered in Saul’s bosom. 2. Saul tries to kill David (vv. 10, 11). This is un example of the awfiA tragedy which may result if we harrtjr envy and jealousy. Saul had prepared a place in his heart for this evil spirit to dwell. When one gives himself up to the indulgence of his baser passions the devil finds a place in his .heart to dwell. 3. David’s wise conduct (vv. 12-10). Because Saul recognized that God hud departed from him and that David must increase while he must decrease, he tried to get rid of David. He sent him from him and made him captain over his army. His envy even assumed a role of cunning and lie offered ids daughter to David as a reward for bravery in battle. Not that he cared for David, but that the Philistines might kill him Instead of doing it with his own hands (v. 17). In spite of all this, David acts discreetly. He wins the favor of the people arid Is loved* by the Lord. Despite Saul’s Intrigues David went from success to success. Christ With the Disciples. For forty days Christ was with the disciples talking with them of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. If we cannot believe that the Apostles deceived others, it seems (If possible) still more unlikely that they were the victims of deception.—Bishop WestcotL Master of Circumstances.
