I used Doan’s Kidney Pills with such
good results that I gave a testimonial
In their favor. At this time. I am per
fectly willing to confirm my former
statement, as since first using Doan's
Kidney Pills I have had llttlo or no
trouble from my kidneys. I can also
speak highly of Doan’s Ointment. I
suffered for several years from a bad
case of Itching piles, which defied all
my efforts for relief. Finally I learned
of Doan’s Ointment and going to the
Taylor-Bayne Drug Co. V procured a
supply. A few applications brought
relief and I have never had any trouble
of the sort since. I am recommending
these two preparations In the hope that
my endorsement may be the means of
benefiting other sufferers.”

Has Been Appointed Commander of
Tho Georgia Division U. 8. C, V.
Mr. Lamar Williams Is again tho
commander-of the Georgia division of
the-United Sons of Confederate Vet-

Owing to the fact that there was no

commander-ln-chlef, capt. J. W. Ap-
peraon, <?f Memphis, exercising hi*
right to appoint when no election is
held and whenever there Is a vacancy,
and appreciating the good work done
for the organisation when commander
ones before, has appointed Mr. Wil

DISTURBER OF THE SLOP
IS BEFORE THE RECORDER
HOT CONTEST
INGODFREY
E. N. Hunter Heads ^Petition to Gov
ernor to Call the Election Again—
Charges That Managers Left
th* Precinct to Run as it
• Pleased.
The contest in the Godfrey dlstrlot
over tho recent election for justice
of the peace for that district gives
promise of being a warm affair.
Mr. J. I. Davidson, who received
tho highest number of votes at the
election, said yesterday that there were
no grounds whatever for a contest.
Tho charge, he says, that the man
agers left the polls at any time Is un
true. as they remained at their post
during the voting hours. There was
no druiikenness or other improper coh-
duot r and that ho was legally elected.
Mr. Davidson says that Mr. R N.
Hunter, tho contestant, was not reg
istered and could not vote In that elec
tion. He says Mr. Hunters name
does not appear on the tax books of
Bibb county, that ho never made a re
turn of taxes and that his name is
not on the books of tho tax collector, or
the registration list.
The result of tho election In questlop
was as .follow*:
J. I. Davidson M, Geo. R King 36,
E. C. Ellison 10, R N. Hunter 8.
Mr. Davidson says that as Mr. Hun.
ter was not a registered voter, and
only received eight votes, and as he
Is only n new-comer to the county, ho
does not understand what right he has
to bring a contest.
On the other hand Mr. HUntor has
secured a petition signed by aome of
tho cltlxens of the Godfrey district
be not Issued, and that a new election
bo held. He doe* not contest th* elec
tion that lie may be declared the wln-^
nor. but on the ground that there was
drunkenness, and that the managers
left the precinct to run Itself.
Just what thu outcome will be Is not
known, but the contest is on and there
may be some interesting things de
veloped.

Blew Locomotive Whistle Within the
Limits of tho City.
For the first time In many months
a case of blowing a locomotive whistle
within the oily limit* is before tho re
corder.
It was Officer Burke, stationed at th*
railroad crossing on Bay street, heard
a whistling the other night that was
enough In the opinion of many to
arouse the dead. He bunted every
where for the man who era* doing th*
blowing., but the blower had the ad
vantage of an engine to keep out of
the way with, and the officer failed
to get him that night. He haa at last
found out who the suspected man is,
and ths case will be heard by tho re
corder tomorrow.
