the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy. * 1
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won

Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists In fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may **
have a sample bottle of
this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that
tells all about it, both Homo of Swamp-Root,

Don’t make any mistake, but remember

In Memoriam.
Francis Gostin Till, the infant son
of Mr. and Mrs. F. K. Till, was born
April 6th, 1903, and died August
21st, 1903. Before his tender little
feet were soiled with the mire of
earth, his spirit, unshadowed, went
to Him from whom it came. '
A mother’s love and a father’s
tendernessjministered to the little
one, and in his short span of life he
knew only that which love would
suggest. But all this could not keep
him, and he has gone to Him who
said “Suffer little children to come.”
While there is sorrow in the home
that misses the tender touch of baby
hands, the dear one is safe in the
arms of the beloved Master. He has
been spared the trials and tempta
tions of life, and is among the angel
band awaiting the hour when all
partings will cease.
The darling of his parents’ home,
the one jewel above all price, on the
other side he will be their pledge for
life immortal. Unto their hearts,
sore with the heart ache that words
cannot soothe—let the blessed as
surance abide that baby waits for
them—he has gone on before.
[The above is reproduced from
the Macon Telegraph. Mr. F. K.
Till, father of the deceased infant, is
a native of Houston county, and is
in business in Macon with the Tele
graph. He has many friends in the
county who extend sincere sympa
thy. Ed.]
Republicans in congress will force
a discussion , of-the negro problem
during the extra session and the en
suing regular session. Party politics
is responsible for this, the hope be
ing that “ammunition” for the pres
idential campaign may be manufac
tured. The republicans care noth
ing for the negro except as a politi
cal factor.
At Mobile, Ala., six hundred bales
of Cuban tobacco, valued at $50,000,
was held by the collector of cnstoms
last week on account of an effort to
transfer the shipment from one con
signee to another. The officers there
were without authority to act, and
referred the disputed point to the
authorities at Washington.
In behalf of a syndicate of wealthy
men, 125,000 acres of Vanderbilt’s
Biltmore land have been rented for
a period of ten years. This great
tract of land will be converted into
hunting preserves. Mr. Vanderbilt
reserves for himself the mansion and
1,000 acres surrounding it.
