HOME ENDORSEMENT.
Hundreds of Newnan Citizens Can
Tell You All About It.
Home endorsement, the public ex
pression of Newnan people, should be
evidence beyond dispute for every New
nan reader. Surely the experience of
friends and neighbors, cheerfully given
by them, will carry more weight than
the utterances of strangers residing in
faraway places. Read the following:
W. D. Hill, til Murray street, New
nan, Ga., says : “Some years ago I re
ceived a severe fall, and, as a result,
my kidneys became affected. After
that 1 was a constant sufferer from
backache, the pains sometimes extend
ing into my shoulders, and even as far
as my neck. When 1 procured Doan’s
Kidney Fills at Lee Bros’, drug store
I was in quite a serious condition, and
placed all my hopes in their bringing
me relief. I was not disappointed, for,
after a short use, they entirely cured
me. I have not had the least sign of
kidney trouble since, and 1 willingly
give {loan’s Kidney Fills my indorse
ment.”

“It’s impossible for me to dress on
$5,000 a year. ”
“Well, my love, you must wear
less. ”
"Don’t be silly! You know perfect
ly' well that the less I wear the more it
costs. ”
The New Registration Law.
Valdosta Timca.
The last Legislature, in its efforts to
pass more laws, lift itself hy its boot
straps and fasten upon Georgia a “ring
! rule” such as the State has never
known before, made a new election law.
The law was supposed to disfranchise
I negroes. The Times took the position
j at the time that it would, in the end,
disfranchise more white men than it
will negroes. We showed that the law
| put a premium upon the ignorance of
the white man and the education of the
negro. It does not take any reasoning
to tell what a condition like that will
bring about in a few years.
But that is not the only bad feature
of the law. Hereafter voters must be
registered six months before a general
election, in order to vote. This was
probably done in order to give the alert
political wing plenty of time to work
while the masses were sleeping. Be
fore the voters are aware that election
day is coming around the time for reg
istering will have passed. The labor
ing man, who does not give much time
to politics until the campaign is open,
is thus deprived of voting by a regis
tration law that was born of a desire
to get rid of a very great number of
white voters of the State, as well as
the negroes.
The new law means that the farmer
and the laboring man must keep their
minds upon politics six or eight
months ahead of election day, or for
feit their right to vote. They must
keep warmed up on politics months in
advance. They must become parts of
the machinery that is set upon to ”con-
trol,”and which is an evil for that
very reason. There was no reason un
der heaven for changing the law except
to take advantage of that class of vo
ters whose daily vocations do not per
mit them to give much time to politics.
When the farmer comes to town to look
after his business he should not have
to burden himself with things that
come not in their season. There is a
time to plant, a time to reap, a time
for all things and the time to register
is after the campaign begins to warm
up, and when politics is being dis
cussed.
The next Legislature should get rid
of this new registration law at once.
It should do so for many reasons—chief
among which is that the law is unfair
to that sturdy class of white men who
have other things to think about be
sides politics, and many of whom are
practically disfranchised hy such a vi
cious law. Give the people a fair
chance to vote in elections, no matter
what becomes of the “rings” that seek
to entrench themselves in power. Let
the ring-makers do right, and they
need not be afraid to trust the vo
ters.
Get on the Corn Wagon.
Homo Tribuno- Horald.
It there ever was a time when our
farmers needed to get on the corn wag
on it is the present. The season for
corn-planting is upon us. Make no
mistake this time. See that you plant
from twenty-five to lifty per cent,
more corn than you planted last year.
While cotton is cheap and corn and
wheat are high, is the time to lay up
your supply and get ahead on food
crops. Plant any other crop that can
he used for food. Plant plenty of po
tatoes, peas, beans, etc. It is not yet
too late to sow oats. Although we have
had too much rain to prevent the sow
ing of oats, it will he well still to sow
as many as possible to help out your
short corn supply this summer.
It is now up to you, brother fanner,
to measure up to your full duty. It is
up to you, not only for your own inter
est, but that of your neighbors and
friends, and the public interest in gen
eral.
Provisions, the necessaries of life,
are far too high in price. Meat, meal
and flour cost entirely too much for the
| well-being of our people, and it is part
ly your fault that this is true. So it is
incumbent upon you to make good and
j relieve the situation. Will you do it?
Fill tiiis country with plenty of food
I crops and bring down the price of liv-
I itig, and you will have done your coun-
] try a great service and rendered your
! people an everlasting blessing.
How Do You Feel?
| Do you experience a sense of woari-
S ness in excess of the natural tiredness
j justified by your labor? Do you lacK
j natural ambition, and have spells of
J despondency, with dark forebodings of
! the future? Do you worry about really
! unimportant matters, and feel cross
j and fretful at times? St. Joseph’s Liv
er Regulator is what you need, either
liquid or powders, as you prefer. It
will better your condition. The liquid
sells at 50 cents a bottle, powders at 25
eents a box, by druggists and general
merchants.
! Ambassador Lloyd Griscom, at a din
ner that he gave to a party of Phila
delphians visiting Rome, praised the
well-known American veneration for
antiquity.
! “It is seldom enough,” said Mr.
Griscom, “that we tind an American
phlegmatic before the treasures of
j Rome’s past. 1 have found only one
such person.
j “He is a Southerner, and I gave a
day to showing him about. The first
church we visited was. I think, the
| Ara Coeli, on the Capitoline hill.
“ ’This church, Calhoun,’ said I, ‘is
| SOD years old. ’
■ “ ’Humph,’ said he, ’it smells a lot
I older.’ ”
A Political Rest.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
It is difficult to understand what
those who are addressing themselves to
the task hope to accomplish by contin
ued discussion of what Gov. Hoke
J Smith’s future political course may be. j
j It. has been stated more than once that |
I the Governor would be a candidate to
j succeed Gov. Brown two years hence.
! It has been said that he has declared
that, he would be, and also that if he
i should not he, he would name the next
I Governor of the State.
The Governor has denied that he au-
! thorized such a statement, remarking
that when he made up his mind as to
j his future course, if it concerned the
people of Georgia, he would take them
into his confidence.
It is generally believed that if Gov.
Smith had not dismissed Mr. Brown as
j a member of the Railroad Commission
the latter would not have been elected
I to the Governorship ; but the Governor
persisted, and the result is well known.
It isn’t probable that Gov. Smith could
defeat Mr. Brown for Governor next
time, but it is probable that if his op
ponents continue to rub him the wrong
way he will run again, which would
precipitate another hot fight, and this
would be undesirable. A political rest
is what the people of Georgia want.

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta*
ble Compound Cured Her.
Willimuntie, Conn.—"For five years
I suffered untold agony from female
troubles, causing backache, irregulari
ties, dizziness and nervous prostra
tion. It was impossible for me to
walk u p stairs
without stopping
on the way. I
tried three differ
ent doctors and
each told me some
thing different. I
received no benefit
from any of them,
but seemed to suf
fer more. The last
doctor said noth
ing would restore
my health..I began
taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound to see what it would do,
and l am restored to my natural
health.”—Mrs. Etta Donovan, Box
299, Willimantic, Conn.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. It may he
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, inflam
mation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, ir
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
bearing-dmvn feeling, flatulency, indi
gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra
tion.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine a trial.
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should it
not cure you?

The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus
cle, nerve, tissue, hone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour
ish nent and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each
to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very
“ engine ' of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since
so much is dependent on this vital fluid it edn very readily' be seen how
necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the
blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments
of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities,
humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow
complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with
unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a
sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and
g’unds of tlie skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers,
which break out on the flesh, often
from a very insignificant bruise or
even scatch or abrasion. If the blood
was pure and healthy the place would
heal at once, but being loaded with
impurities, which are discharged into
the wound, irritation and inflamma
tion are set up and the sore continues.
Bad blood is also responsible for
Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the
weak, polluted circulation cannot fur
nish the nourishment and strength
required to sustain the body', and a
general run-down condition of health
results. S. S. S. is nature’s blood
purifier and tonic; made entirely of
healing, cleansing roots and herbs.
It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity,
humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones
up the entire system. It adds to the blood the healthful properties it is in
need of, and in every' way assists in the cure of disease. S. S. S. neutral
izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, and perma
nently cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions.
>S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, and all
other diseases or disordtrs arising from bad blood. Book on the blood and
any medical advice desired free to all who write.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
Your S. S. S. f in my opinion, is as good a
medicine as can be had; it simply cannot be
improved upon as a remedy to purify nnd enrich
the blood and to invigorate and tone up the
system. This spring my blood was bad and I
was run down in health, and having seen your
medicine highly advertised I commenced its use.
Today my blood is in fine condition and my
general health is of the best. Am filling posi
tion as fireman for a large concern here, and
if I was not in good physical condition it would
be impossible for me to fill the place. Your
S. S. S. has been of great service to me and I do
not hesitate to give it the credit it deserves.

How to Increase the Yield of Fruit
Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage
ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal
supply of ,
Virgin ia-Carolina
Fertilizers
The trees absorb plant foods—that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash—from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experi
ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so
well recognized that “ return to the land what the tree removes if you
would expect the best results ” has become an axiom with the best
growers.
Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to
careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers.
“ I made a test with other companies’ fertilizers,” says Mr. H. O.
Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., “and yours proved to’be the best.
The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as
much as where the other two companies’ fertilizer was used.”
Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest
because of their good qualities—give better satisfaction and quicker
results.
Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub
lished in the new 1909 Farmers’ Year Book, a copy of which will be
sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
