tion in accordance with the rules here
inbefore made, and nominate candidates

new State Executive Committee, an

brought before i>.
Since Underwood's break with the
Administration — since he assumed
leadership in the House of the element
which is leaving no stone unturned to
defeat President Wilson in his fight to
secure repeal of the offensive clause in
the canal Act—there has been a marked
waning of enthusiasm for the House
leader. His position on the canal tolls
issue probably cost him thousands of
votes in yesterday’s primary.—Albany
Herald.
As Underwood's majority over Hob
son in Tuesday's primary was around
30,000 his influence doesn't appear to
have “waned” so you would notice it.
On the contrary, his overwhelming
victory in that contest was a pretty
strong indorsement of the House
leader’s position on the free tolls ques
tion, it occurs to us.
Tifton Gazette: “From the beginning,
there has been so much politics in the
Frank case that few know the real
facts. Now the politicians and lawyers
have been joined by a few editors and
preachers, who are taking sides in a
partisan effort to try the case out of
court. It is very probable that Frank
will not hang, but the opinion is pretty
general that he deserves to.”
Griffin News and Sun: “It is about
time for the Atlanta papers to spring
another half-page interview from Frank
asserting that the court and jury were
wrong and that he is as innocent as a
new-born babe. There are still a few
people who were not convinced by
those that have already appeared. ”
Griffin News and Sun: “Hugh Dor
sey’s record in the Frank case needs no
commendation from Detective Burns.
The people know that the former
worked solely for the faithful perform
ance of his duty, and the people know
that the latter is working solely for a
big slice of the defense’s bank roll.”
Death of a Popular and Useful Citi
zen.
Our community was deeply shocked
and grieved Sunday morning when it
became known that Mr. W. B. Pringle
had passed away during the previous
night.
Mr. Pringle was secretary of the
Newnan Water and Light Commission—
a position he had filled for about ten
years—and frequently went to his of
fice at night, where his work detained
him at times until a late hour. There
fore, when he left home for his office
Saturday night and did not return at
the usual bedtime hour his wife thought
nothing of it, expecting him to come in
later. She fell asleep, and upon waking
Sunday morning discovered to her Bur-
prise that her husband had not returned.
Thoroughly alarmed at his absence,
and apprehending that some mishap
had befallen him, she called up the fire
department and asked the man on duty
who answered her call to investigate
and ascertain whether Mr. Pringle was
in his office. He went to a side win
dow of the office, and, upon looking in,
observed Mr. Pringle’s form sitting
upright in a chair, with his head lean
ing face downward upon a table in
front of him. His position appeared nat
ural, and it was thought at first he had
merely fallen asleep; but upon entering
th'ri room and making a closer exam
ination his body was found to be cold
and rigid in death. There were no in
dications of a struggle, and the stroke
which ended his life evidently came
without warning. Before him upon the
table was an unfinished letter addressed
to a sister, Mrs. Ravenel, of Charleston,
S. C., inquiring as to the condition of
their mother, who had been seriously
ill. Those were his last words to the
living.
Mr. Pringle was a native of Charles
ton, S. C. He came to Newnan in
1884, and for several years was en
gaged with his brother-in-law, Major
M. B. Hamilton, in the cotton business.
When the Newnan Water and Light
Commission was organized about ten
years ago he was elected secretary, and
how thoroughly and faithfully he dis
charged the difficult duties of this office
is warmly attested by the board, as
well as by the eight hundred or more
patrons who had dealings with this de
partment of the public service. A
thorough gentleman, a congenial com
panion, a fine business man, a good
citizen, he made an enviable place for
himself in the community, and his
death makes a vacancy that will not be
easily filled.
Mr. Pringle was 53 years of age. Be
sides his wife and young daughter, his
only pear relatives were his mother,
Mrs. Ella Pringle, of Charleston, S. G\,
and two sisters, Mrs. M. B. Hamilton,
of Fall River, Mass., and Mrs. J. R. P.
Ravenel, of Charleston, S. C.
The funeral took place Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o’clock, from the residence on
Jackson street, services being con
ducted by Rev, H. L. Edmondson, as
sisted by Dr. J. S. Hardaway and Rev.
J. E. Hannah. The pall-bearers were
Messrs. H. H. North, J. R. McCollum,
F. M. Lee, Thus. Cole, A. R. Burdett,
W. C. McBride, A. A. Passolt, and P.
R. Murohev. The interment was at
Oak Hill.

Important to all Women
Readers of this
Paper
Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women’s complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble, or
the result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal vyith
pain in the back, bearing-down feeling,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri
table and maybe despondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be a blessing to thousands of nervous,
over-worked women.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great Kidney,
Liver and Bladder remedy, will do for
them. Every reader of this paper, who
has not already tried it, by enclosing
ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y., may receive sample
size bottle by parcel post. You can
purchase regular fifty-cent and one-
dollar size bottles at all drug stores.
