MARTIAL HIE Ml II
London, Aug. 31.—London, the larg
est city in the world, with is cosmo
politan population of seven millions,
has not as yet shown any visible
signs of war, except for the movement
Jyof troops and the crowds in the
streets, reading the newspaper bulle
tins. But it is not Impossible that the
great city may, before the stupendl-
ous conflict is ended, feel the priva
tions of marital rule.
Under .the new “Defense of the
Realm” act, the following are some
of the regulations that the military
authorities may put Jnto effect:
“Any building may be seized by the
military authorities and, If necessary, ^' e I nd,an frontiers will be fully
destroyed.
No one may spread reports likely
to alarm the civilian population.
No one may loiter near a railway
bridge.
No one may give or sell liquor to
any soldier on duty.
Any person who breaks any of the
army in France should be increased.
The Indian troops were chosen to In
crease the forces. Lord Kitchener
added that all the gaps in the army
in France were being filled up.
Anxious to Fight.
The Marquis of Crewe said the In
dian people desired that the native
soldiers fight by the side of their
comrades in the British army and that
It would have been a disappointment
to India if they had been debarred
from taking part in the war In Eu
rope.
The Marquis asserted that in spite
of heavy drafts on the Indian army

HOT BATTLE
IS EXPEGTED
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31.—All sign#
point to one of the biggest battles
royal Georgia has even known at the
Macon Democratic convention next
Tuesday.
The clans began gathering in Ma
con today and by Sunday night the
hotels will be overflowing, though the
big noise will still be a day off. What
a lot of talking on corners and con.
ference* in hotel rooms and a sending
of wires and a spread of eloquence
awaits the quiet Central City!
The hotels of Macon have been re
served up to their capacity and late
arrivals will sleep on the pool tables
if they care to sleep where there U
so much to hear—if one is a good lis
tener.
The friends of Governor Slaton will
be on hand in force, and the governor,
it is reported, will leave Sunday foi
the convention city. It is now certain
that Slaton will cither be nominated
early in the fight or will be steam
rollered until he is flat as a batter-
cake. That Is the only way to defeat
man who led in both popular and
county unit vote.
Atlanta politicians say Mr. Hard
wick fails to make his rule work both
ways. On the night of the election,
when he was certain he would lead
the ticket, he announced publicly that
this gave him the nomination, and he
was much obliged. He said then that
the leader be should certainly bo
the nominee. But when Slaton turn
ed out to lead the ticket Mr. Hard
wick backed water.
And anyway, it’s going to be a real
old-time, knock-down ajfd drag-out
convention with room tor politics In
plenty.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
They Are Closely Obsmtag Public
Health Condition*
An examining physician for one of
the prominent life insurance compa
nies, In an Interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for Insurance are rejected Is because
kidney trouble is so common to tho
American people, and the alrge ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem
that a medicine tor the kidneys, pos
sessing real healing and curative
properties, would be a blessing
thousands.
Dr. Kilmer it Co., Binghamton, N.
Y„ who prepare Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp
Root, the well known kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, claim that Judg
ing from evidence received from
druggists everywhere, who are con
stantly In touch with their customers,
and also Indisputable proof in the
form of grateful testimonial letters
from thousands of reliable citizens,
this preparation Is remarkably
cessful in sickness caused by kidney
and bladder troubles. Every Inter
esting statement they receive
gardlng Swamp-Root is Investigated
and no tetslmonlal is published un
less the party who sends It la re
ported of good character. They have
on file many sworn statements of re
coveries in the most distressing
cases. They state that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root is mild and gentle In Its
action and its heallpg Influence
soon noticed in most cases.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal
compound and Dr. Kilmer A Co. ad-
ise all readers who feel In need of
such a remedy to give U a trial. It
la on sale at all drug stores In bot
tles of two sizes—60c and 91.00. How

LA. POUND IS
VISITING CITY
K. A. Pound, former espartoUodeat
of th* public schools of Wsycross,
bow of Atlanta, whsrt he to associat
ed with the Alkahest Lyceum Bureau,
Is to th* city for a few days. Mr.
has many warm' friends to
H.vcrots who are delltbted to have
him In the city again and he la be-
jlng given a cordial welcome.
Unless tho European
situation
grows a great deal worse and Is
dragged out until next spring It Is
believed there will be no question but
what the Georgia State League will
open up on time next season. The
six cities making up the league for
two seasons, Waycross, Valdosta.
Thomaivllle, Americus, Cordeio and
Brunswick, are all keen for baseball
every season.
Several members of tip league are
already making preparations for next
season. In tho event one or two of
the member* drop out it Is known
that their place* can bo easily filled,
i number of live cities, a few In
Alabama, have passed the word along
that they want to get Into the league
Nearly every team In tho league
this year will have enough players
left from tho season to make a good
start next year. Thomasvllle has dis
posed of several players to other
leagues, and Cordele Is apt to bo shy
a few of their mainstays.
Before tho 1916 season for
Georgia State Is made a sure thing
It Is recognized that very decldod
changes will have to be made In the
league regulations. It Ib not at all
unlikely that the league will select
for president a non-resident, to re
move all cause for future kicking be
cause a man who'resides in a mem
ber of the circuit is the "boss.”
More stringent player limit rules
will be adopted, and some sure means
of holding tho teams within a reas
onable salary limit found. Otherwise
It Is generally felt that any attemp*
at organized baseball for the cities
comprising the Georgia Btate will
prove an utter failure.
