N E W N A N, FRIDAY, APR.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
Charge of the Boys Told by a Fed
eral.
Macon Tcdpgrnph.
Cn|it. J. W. Willcoxon think the fol
lowing story of the charge of the ca
dets of the Virginia Military Institute
at the battle of New Market was one
of the most vivid pictures of the Civil
War.
It was written by Mr. Howard Mor
ton, a Federal soldier, and appeared
first in the Pittsburg Dispatch. Re
cently it came to light again by Mr. C.
A. Richardson, of Harrisonburg, Va.,
coming across it in an old scrap book.
In his enthusiasm, Mr. Richardson
says: “In all the heroic annals of time
this memorable battle epic, like a rich
and rare gem, will ever continue to
sparkle and glow in all the effulgent
splendor of an undimmmed lustre.’’’
Here is Mr. Morton’s account:
“Opposite is the enemy’s line of gray,
belching forth f:re and smoke. Those
immediately in front of us are compar
atively inactive. They have not yet
mended their broken fences.
“We look to the further end of the
rebel line. Out from an orchard steps
a small body of gray-dad troops.
Something about them attracts our at
tention ; their marching and align
ment are perfect; their step is unlike
that of the veterans who marched
against our front. Their movements
are those of a crack battalion on dress
parade. They look like boys; the
strong glass shows they are boys. It is
the battalion of pupils from the Vir
ginia Military Institute, 225 in num
ber. These little fellows, whose ages
range from fourteen to sixteen years
drawn from the best families of the
Old Dominion, have closed their books
for the summer vacation, but instead
of returning to their homes and mak
ing glad the hearts of fond parents and
brothers and sisters, were told to take
their cadet muskets and join the army
in the valley. They have just arrived,
and are eagerly marching to their bap
tism of blood. War is cruel at best,
but who can excuse the cruelty that
monsters. Now they enter the smoke:
they disappear. The thunder of six
great guns is silenced. A juvenile
shout is heard, and the survivors of the
little hand of heroes have captured the
battery. Scarcely have we realized
that they are victors until we find that
they have manned the captured guns
and turned them down our lines.”
Tax Equalization.

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities
Claim Dyspepsia Causes
Consumption.
The post mortem statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that some
cases of consumption are due to un
checked dyspepsia, especially when the
victim was predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable stomach
is unable to digest food, the body does
not receive the required nourishment,
neighboring county, paying from $8 to i constipation ensues and the victim 1
$10 per acre, and returned the same
for taxation at $4 and $5 an acre—and
felt just a little sheepish when he did
it. He had cause to, as it afterward
I turned out; but not the same cause
that he suspected. In the course of a
few weeks one good citizen after anoth
er of the county in question met him
and said :
“Here, you mustn’t do anything like
that; you will ruin us; you don’t want
to come up here and establish any new
precedents -we return our lands at $2
per acre.”
There you are! What’s the use of
generalizing about more “uniform tax
laws” when we are confronted with a
condition like this?—and a condition,
too, which everyone recognized as ex
isting in flagrant violation of even our
present tax laws, as lax as they are.
Probably no dozen counties return
lands at the same value per acre ; prob
ably, too, a few counties are in this
way carrying the burden for the many.
One county has a more zealous Tax
Collector or Receiver than another, and
its returns are on a basis of from 60 to
80 per cent, of market value. In anoth
er county, the tax officers “know on
which side their bread is buttered,”
and they religiously leave it to the
property owner to make his own re
turns; result, land that is easily worth
from $10 to $20 per acre is returned at
from $2 to $4 per acre.
What’s the remedy? There can be but
one a State board of tax equalizers.
But say that to the average member of
the Georgia Legislature or to the aver
age Georgia politician, and he looks at
you and asks, “What do you take me
for?”
As a consequence the State goes on
trying to find new lines of business to
tax, devising wavs to add on a little
hero or there while a large percentage
risks such bright young lives even in a

pounders. The commander has observed
the cadet battalion and opened fire on
it. The shells burst among the boys,
but they don’t seem to be disturbed
in the least. Forward toward the black
monsters the line moves as though pa
rading on the smooth land of the mili
tary institute whence they came. Pal
ings are being knocked from their
fence, but they close up and present an
unbroken line. We ask ourselves: Can
they be so rash ns to charge the bat
tery?
“It is commencing to look that way.
On. on they march, their line as
straight as a rule; more palings are
knocked from their living fence, and
repairs are shorter. They are almost
in canister range. Surely they will
face about and retrace their steps; but
no, the little heads bend lower as they
face the iron storm. The little mus
kets are grasped tighter as on, on they
rush. God have mercy on them ! The
deadly canister sweeps through their
ranks; shorter and shorter grows their
line. Heaven pity their poor mothers,
whose prayers are even now rising to
heaven for their darlings’ safety. Oh!
that some pitying hand would stretch
out to stay them; but on, on they

“Throw Out the Life Line” —
The kidneys need help.
They’re overworked—can’t get the
poison filtered out of the blood.
They’re getting worse every minute.
Will you help them?
Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought
thousands of kidney sufferers back
from the verge of despair.
Will cure any form of kidney trouble.
J. T. Nolan, 12 First street, Newman,
Ga., says : “The great relief Doan’s
Kidney Pills gave me is sufficient evi
dence of their worth. For three years
my kidneys were out of order, and
caused me much misery. I had darting
pains through the back and loins, and
whenever I did any work that required
any stooping or lifting, 1 was in abso
lute misery. The kidney secretions
finally began to act imperfectly, and
from this I conclude i that my kidneys
were at fault. Reading about Doan’s
Kidney Pills, I decided to try them and
got a box at Lee Bros. ’ drug store.
They improved my condition so much
that I cannot speak too highly in their
favor.”

Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing towards the de

In Memory of Mrs. Nell Turner Fa-
ver.
Our sister, Mrs. Nell Faver Turner,
who passed away from us March 1,
1909, was allotted a short span of life.
For a few years she brightened her
home as daughter-then as wife and
mother. In infinite love God took her
into the “beautiful beyond,” after long
weeks of weariness and suffering.
What a glorious change to leave a pain-
racked body and then awake to joys of
eternal rest! As she lay in her tran
quil sleep, surrounded by earth’s most
beautiful flowers, God must have spo
ken words of comfort to the sorrowing.
A tender husband, a loving mother, so
licitous relatives and friends, minis
tered to her every want, but the som
bre Angel of Death came slowly but
surely on. Could love have saved her,
she had not died. At home she was
the life and joy, winning the hearts of
old and young. Not in the home circle
only will she be missed, but by the
poor and needy, where she was ever
ready to minister to their wants as
best she Could. As neighbor and friend
“none named her but to praise.” She
was an unusually strong-minded wo
man, of clear convictions, and did not
hesitate to express her views. Long
will we remember her mimicry; but to
recount the gifts and virtues of one so
gifted would do homage to the pen of
friendship. She was a member of the
First Baptist church, and of the Wo
man’s Missionary Society. She was al
ways interested in any work which per
tained to her church, and was often
heard to say—
"I love Thy church, O God;
Her walls before Thee stand
Dear as the apple of Thine eye.
And graven on Thy hand.”
Her absence is deeply felt, and our
hearts fill with sadness when we think
she will never again join us in our sa
cred gatherings. May God comfort
her loved ones and teach them to say,
"Thy will be done.*’

In Memoriam.
In fmemory of Sister Marthalyn
Hyde, born Feb. 1. 1826, ending a long,
useful life of S3 years March 1, 1909.
She was the daughter of a good wo
man, the widow of a brave soldier who
gave his life in the cause of the South
ern Confederacy. Left thus alone v ith
eight children to care for, her struggle
against time and tide was heroic, but
successful, the result being that chil
dren and grandchildren, like the moth
er, are Christians, and are beloved and
respected by all who appreciate true
worth. She was one of the first, and
also one of the last living charter
members of Liberty church. There

Obituary.
As the sun was sinking below the
western horizon on March 21 the Death
Angel hovered over the home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Morris and claimed the
gentle spirit of Mrs. Susie Morris
Ayers as his victim and wafted it to
the land of rest, to join with loved
ones gone before. Susie Morris was
born April 19, 1876; was married to
Eugene Avers, of South Carolina, July
7, 1892. This union was blessed with
five children, her husband and one
child having preceded her to the Great
Beyond. She found Jesus precious to
her soul when young, and united with
Moreland Baptist church, remaining a
member to her death. Although she
suffered intensely for eight weeks, she
bore her affliction without complaining,
showing the Christian spirit that be-
cometh one who puts his trust in the
Savior.
She leaves a father, mother, two sis
ters, three brothers, and four little or
phan boys, besides a host of other rela
tives and friends to mourn their loss.
To the grief-stricken parents we would
say, “Dry your tears, and realize that
you have another tie on that beautiful
shore.” What shall we say to those
little orphan children? Remember your
mother’s counsels; heed her warnings;
emulate the examples she set before
you to her honor and to your good. Re
member that mamma is not dead, but
only gone before to that beautiful land,
where she is waiting and watching the
coming of her loved ones to that haven
of rest.
“Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep:
A calm and undisturbed repose.
Unbroken by the last of foes.”

There is an evaporation from the body going' on continually, day and
night, through the pores and glands of the skin. This is nature’s way of
maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft
ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur
ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any cause
becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, and
coming in contact with the delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is
so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and the.
effect is shown oy Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of various kinds
These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged or
inactive condition of the system ; the members whose duty it is to carry off
the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work
and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by
the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the
system, but poisons from without,
such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy,
Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the
open pores and glands, and so thor
oughly do they become rooted in the
blood that they are ever present,
or return at certain seasons of each
year ter torment the sufferer. Salves,
washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin
diseases. True, such treatment re
lieves some of the itching and dis
comfort, and aids in keeping the skin
clean, but it does not reach the real
cause, and at best can be only palli
ating and soothing. A thorough
cleansing of the blood is the only certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S.,
a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients
of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the
circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and
purifying the blood, and curing skin affections of every kind. It supplies
to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and
all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons. S. S. S.
cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Poison Oak and Ivy, Nettle Rash,
and all other skin troubles, and cures them permanently by removing every
trace of the cause from the blood. Special book on Skin Diseases and any
medical advice desired furnished free to all who write.

I have used your S. S. S., spring and fall,
for the past two years, with the result that it
entirely relieved me of a form of Eczema
which my doctor was unable to cure. My
arms, lower limbs, and, in fact, the biggest
portion of my whole body was affected, and
when I first began S. S. S. the itching, etc.,
was worse, but I continued the remedy with
the result that the dry, itching eruption en
tirely disappeared. I think a great deal of
your medicine, and have recommended it to
others with good results. It is the best blood
medicine made, and I can conscientiously
recommend it for the cure of all blood and
skin affections. CHAS. HORSTMAN.
