fierald and fldwrtiser. 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. Augusta Chronicle. We happen to know of a gentleman who bought a plantation or two in a 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 righteous caused I of property that is taxable at its “fair •■<>|,|.osiu. thorn. the right or Stbn‘ 1 "lmo r .t r “K our line, is a battery of six twelve-1 gether. 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 inarch, right into the jaws of the black THROW OUT THE LINE. Give Them Help and Many Newnan People Will Be Happier. “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.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

As a result, the body becomes a fertile field for the germs of disease to lodge and flourish. Therefore, the person who permits dyspepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of contributing towards the de velopment of one of the most insidious and fatal dieases known to mankind.

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.*’ Resolved, That the above be printed in The Herald and Advertiser and in The Newnan News, and be spread upon the minutes of the Woman’s Mission ary Society.

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 fore. he it resolved— 1. That as God has “given His be loved sleep, ’ and as she was “faithful unto death,” we of Liberty church have lost a true mother in Israel—one Vf£v X^V. it to-day water without it. you acquainted. and A Ai/ Soft it- iu.ik.rs your d bcueficinl, ok in Try it.

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.

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.
