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.” For sale by all dealers. Frice 50 cents.

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. There Has Recently Been Placed In all the drug stores an aromatic, pleasant herb cure for woman’s ills, called Mother Gray’s Australian leaf.

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? Gray hair is simply faded hair.

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. WM. F. VANDYKE. 815 Fifth Street, Beaver Falls, Penn. 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.
