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.

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

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. <

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

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

upon receipt of affidavits of viola

South Georgia Faces An Ice Famim
Tifton. —With hot weather here, the
people of South Georgia afe threaten

this section have to have ammonia
with which to make ice, and the sup

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 |

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

hence of courage, who Is the master
of circumstances, and who makes his
