PRESIDENT WILSON'S CAMPAIGN
FOR PREPAREDNESS.
One of throe things is true about the
speechmaking campaign President Wil
son has been conducting in the Middle
West. He may bo playing to the gal
lery; he may be obsessed with an idea
that is utterly without reason; or he is
in possession of facts and in a position
to know onough to make him feel all
the anxiety he expresses in his speeches.
The first of these suppositions is not
at all reasonable. The policy the Pres
ident is advocating as to an increase
of our army and navy is not the declared
policy of the Democratic party. Since
this is so, it is not at all probablo that
Mr. Wilson would bo so eager for the
course ho pleads for for political or
partisan reasons.
S As to the second, President Wilson is
not a man to be easily led ofT by a fad
or a fancy. He iB eminently sane and
cool-headed.
It is therefore reasonable to believe
that he knowB more about the real sit
uation than does the public generally,
or even Congress itself. Without giv
ing absolute adhesion to the course he
is advocating, one would do well to give
all the weight such statements as he
makes are entitled to, in view of his
high office and charactor.
That Presiddbt Wilson should feel
called upon to go beforo the people
with his patriotic plea for "prepared
ness” ia a reflection upon Congress,
some of the members of which are har
assing him in many ways that deserve
criticism. That Republicans, for purely
partisan purposes, should lend them
selves to this cabal is not surprising;
but for Democratic members to join
this yelping crew in its efforts to em
barrass and belittle the Administration
is enough to excite tho disgust of all
true Americans, whatever their politi
cal leanings may be. The policy ad
vocated by President Wilson is not a
political one, nor by any method of
distortion can it be construed as a par
ty measure. It is simply an appeal to
the patriotism of the nation, and the
enthusiasm with which he has been re
ceived at all points on his speechmaking
tour shows that the people are behind
him.
MIDWAY.
The singing at the school-house
Saturday night was well attended. It
was not only an event of social pleasure,
but the singing was fine. The new
books purchased recently contain some
splendid compositions, and our singers
are good as any community affords.
After the singing a number of four-yard
lots of canvas belonging to the school
were sold to the highest bidder. Much
interest was shown, and about $4 was
realised from the sale. This will be
used for school improvements. Tho
bouse has been remodeled and painted,
and some new desks put in. There are
other needed improvements which the
progressive patrons hope to make.
With the start already made there is no
reason why they should not have a
standard school within the next year
or so. Much praise is due those who
bsve responded so readily to every call,
both with work and money.
Mr. C. A. Wiggins spent Monday and
Tuesday in Newnan.
Mrs. Sussn Kidd, accompanied by
her grandsons, William and Crantlll
Kidd, apent Saturday night and Sunday
with her daughter, Mrs. Berry Davis,

Mr. and Mrs, Wade Luckie, of Buck
eye, visited Mrs. Lula Kidd Sunday.
Mr. Lynn Kidd, of Corinth, spent
Sunday with his mother here.
Mr. D. L. Hardigreo is having his
bouse painted.
Mr. Will Kidd waB in Newnan Tues

Several from this community visited

Proven Swamp-Root
Aids Weak Kidneys
The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a run-down con
dition. , Tho kidneys Beem to suffer
moBt, as almost every victim complainB
of lame back and urinary troubles
which should rot bo neglected, as these
danger signals often lead to dangerous
kidney troubles.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, which
soon healB and strengthens the kid
neys, is a splendid kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, and, being an herbal
compound, has a gentle healing effect
on the kidneys, which is almost imme
diately noticed in most cases by those
who use it,
A trial will convince anyone who
may be in need of it. Better get a
bottlo from your nearest drug store,
and start treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation, send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton,
N. Y., for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure to mention The New
nan Herald.

HOW APPENDICITIS CAN BE PRE
VENTED.
Newnan people should know that a
few doBea of simple buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka,
often relieve or prevent appendicitis.
This simple mixture removes such sur
prising foul matter that ONE SPOON
FUL rolievcs almost ANY CASE of
constipation, sour stomach or gas. A
abort treatment helps chronic stomach
trouble. Adler-i ka has the easiest and
most thorough action of anything we
ever sold. The Odom Drug Co.
