Watch for Symptoms of Kidney Diseases. Regard Backache as a Danger
Signal. Test the Urine, Help the Kidneys Do Their Work. Cure
Them When They Are Sick.
HOW TO TELL —There are many
avmptoms to tell you of sick kidneys.
First, the many aches or pains—
Dull aching In the small of the back.
Sharp pains when stooping or lifting
Rheumatic aching in the muscles.
Neuralgic pains in the nerves.
Headaches, sldeaches, gout, sciatica.
And the urinary symptoms, some
apparent, some found by simple
tests —
Frequent passage day or night.
Scalding, due to inflammation.
Scanty passage, or a stoppage.
Red, thick and ill-smelling urine.
Cloudy or brick-dust sediment.
Greasy, frothy or staining urine.
Other common symptoms are:
Puffy eyes; swollen limbs.
Pallid, waxy complexion.
Drowsiness, lack of energy, languor.
Dizziness, "spots" before the eyes.
Weak heart; debility, Indigestion.
There is only one thing to do when
any of these symptoms appear, and
that is to cure the kidneys. No need
to experiment. Doan's Kidney Pills
have cured hundreds of people in your
own city. Their testimony proves it.

USE OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL ROOMS
A Further Plea in Behalf of the Boys of the
Street.
Editor Morning News: Very few of
us stop to think that there are thou
sands of dollars' repres'ented in the
public school buildings which are idle,
unused and unproductive of any good
to the community except for a short
portion of each year. Every dollar of
this money came from the people for
educational purposes. These buildings,
or any room therein, can be used at
night for study rooms, and other edu
cational purposes, Just as properly as
they are now used during the day.
The very rule, which the distinguished
president of the Board of Education
states prohibits such use, says they
cannot be used except .for "school pur
poses. ” What is education? The Cen
tury distlonary defines it to be "the
imparting or acquisition of knowl
edge; mental and moral training; cul
tivation of the mind, feelings and
manners.” The same authority says
"education in a broad sense, with ref
erence to men. comprehends all that
disciplines and enlightens the un
derstanding. corrects the temper, cul-*
tivates the taste, and forms the man
ners and habits.”
What we are after, Mr. Edtior, is
tl\e moral and mental training, the
formation of manners and habits,
more than the inculcation of practical
ly useless ancient languages. By the
authority, Just quoted, education com
prehends and includes these purposes,
it will not do to say that the ex
penditures are more confined by law.
It: will not do to say that the "ele
mentary branches of an English edu
cation only” can be. taught, for the
sufficient reason that our school ex
penditures are not now so confined in

GREAT
The strain and struggle of busy life
causes nine-tenths of the dally aches
and pains and kidney sufferings of hu
manity.
The busy folks—who work hard and
rest little, who think hard and sleep
little, are those who overtax the kid
neys most.
To overwork the kidneys is to con
gest and clog them —to disturb and
hinder them in their great work of
filtering the blood.
Busy men and women are too apt
to neglect sick kidneys. In spite of
aches and pains and urinary disorders
they go on overworking until the kid
neys give out.
There is no middle road for the
kidney sufferer. He must either help
and cure the kidneys, or go the down
ward course towards fatal diabetes
and Haight's Disease. There Is no
standing still.
Doan’s Kidney Pills will cure you.
This great kidney specific has restored
thousands of kidney sufferers to com
plete and permanent health. It Is in
tended for the kidneys and for the
kidneys only.
SAVANNAH PROOF.
J. W. Hyatt, grocer, of 420 William
street, says: "I got more good out of
the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills than
from any other medicine I ever used
for my back and kidneys. My back
was weak and ached constantly for a
couple of years past. lamon my feet
all day, and my back was the only
part about me that would not hold
out. In the morning I arose with
backache and went to bed with it and
could not sleep well, but would lie
awake with a feeling as if my back
was coming apart. The kidneys were
irregular in action and caused me
much bother. The first day after I
got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Knight’s
Pharmacy I noticed relief. In a short
time all the pains left my back. I
could go to bed and get a go<sd night’s
rest, and the kidney secretions be
came natural and normal.”
practice, and no one wants them to be
so limited.
These suggested study rooms and
recreation rooms would certainly
have a tendency "to enlighten the un
derstanding, correct the temper, culti
vate the taste, and form the manners
and habits" of the boys and girls of
our city. If this be so, why is net
this work within the province of our
Board of Education? Why cannot
school rooms be legally, properly, and
to advantage, used for these pur
poses?
There can be no question that the
dare of boys at night Is, primarily, a
matter that should be looked after by
the parents, but what about the poor
boy whose parents neglect, or. by rea
son of circumstances over which, they
have no control, cannot- perform, this
duty? What about the poor boy who
has no parents? What about the poor
boy whose toiling father is so weigh
ed down by the burden of earning his
daily bread that he cannot afford these
comforts and advantages for his chil
dren though he would give his very
life blood to see his boy have these op
portunities? It is for these children
we are interested. It Is for such .chil
dren that free schools have been es
tablished. It Is for these children
that tax payers of this community
have willingly put thousands of dol
lars of their money into the public
school buildings of this city and an
nually contribute $150,000 to education.
It is not for the children of the wealthy
that we are interested. They can af
ford “to make the home attractive,”
and "provide the proper reading mater
ial and games.” and the well-lighted
study rooms in their comfortable homes.
But what of the grefat mass of our com
munity not wealthy? How about the
poor laborer or mechanic, the bona
and sinew of our city, who cannot
afford this reading material, these
games, or those well-lighted, comfor
table, study rooms. They toll hour
after hour to earn the bare necessities
of life. They cannot give these things
to their children. Why cannot this
city, which is made chiefly by the re
sults of their labor, permit the use
of school buildings for these estimable
purposes? These purposes are distinct
ly school purposes.
In my former communication, the
clearly expressed intention was to pro
vide adults to take charge of each
room, and, consequently, there would
be no more danger of defaced walls,
injured desks, untidy rooms, or other
things which would unfit the rooms for
school purposes, than there is during
the day. An adult would be in charge
of each room at night, just as a teach
er is in charge of a room during the
day. The boy who ciaused damage
could be made to pay for it just as
easily as is the day scholar.
Why should not boys come to these
places when they flock to similar ones
in other cKies? Why should a boy
who lives in "Yamacraw,” or the ‘‘Old
Port.” or in '•Collinsville," or the
"South Side," have to go a mile to the
Y. M. C. A. rooms or the Public Li
brary, when the school buildings are,
respectively, within a stones throw of
their homes?
Why not try what has been success
full and of great advantage, not only
In New York, but In many other
oitles? Why condemn, before trial, a
plan which has proven a good thing
elsewhere? Remember, public educa
tion is to rear boys so that they may
become good citizens. Because, for
sooth, we may not need these things
in the way New York does, is that any
reason why we should not fry them
hero for the purposes for which we
do need them? Why put aside a plan
untried simply because It comes from
a certain source? What difference
does It make where a suggestion origin
ates if M be a good one? What dif
ference does the motive make If the
plan suggested may be of great bene
fit? Why should Savannah not be a
lender in education in ks broadest and
highest sense?

REV. A. M. WILIAMS TO
LEAVE TRINITY CHURCH.
But Not on Account of Any Differ
ence With HI. Presiding Elder.
At the South Georgia annual con
ference at Mcßae next week Rev. A.
M. Williams, pastor of Trinity Metho
dist Church, will ask that he be not
returned to his Savannah pastorate.
When asked last night about his leav
ing Trinity Church, Rev. Mr. Williams
said:
“The statement in the Savannah
Press as to my leaving Trinity at the
end of the year is liable of miscon
struction. My going is at my own re
quest, with no lack of appreciation of
the church congregation or city. In a
desire to see the great movements
looking to enlarged usefulness of that
grand old church placed on a more
substantial basis, I thought It would
for Its best interest for me to be left
out of the discussion of its plans for
another year. This alone was the cause
of my request to be relieved of
the charge. On some financial details
the presiding elder and myself had dif
ferent opinions. These did not in the
least affect our relations. We are the
best of friends, as well as Christian
brethren. I have for him much admi
ration as well as strong affection, and
I have no doubt he would gladly have
renominated me for Trinity, except for
my request.
"My future is in the hands of the
conference,” said Mr. Williams, “and
my submission to its decisions in every
respect will be that of a thoroughly
loyal Methodist preacher. For several
years I have been greatly troubled in
speaking on account of chronic hoarse
ness, Induced by too much speaking
under unfavorable conditions. This
may lead, with the consent of the con
ference, to my retiring from the active
pastorate, but never from the minis
try, to which I am greatly devoted.”
CAPT. LYMAN’IN CHARGE
OF RECRUITING OFFICE.
Capt. McKelvey Ha. Been Trans
ferred to Another Station.
Capt. McKelvey, who has been in
charge of the recruiting office for the
United States Marine Corps in Sa
vannah, has been transferred to an
other station, and Capt. C. H. Lyman
will arrive the latter part of the week
to enter upon his duties as captain in
charge.
Very few applicants are at present
offering themselves for enlistment in
the Marine Corps, but as there are
only 128 men needed to bring the
corps up to the required strength, the
recruiting officers are not at all
alarmed at the situation.
The government has never had much
trouble in keeping the corps at its re
quired strength, as it is one of the
best branches of the service, and on
account of the numerous applications
for enlistment one of the requirements
in the physical examination has been
changed. An applicant now has to
be five feet six inches in hight where
as the rule has been five feet four
inches. This change has made it pos
sible for the recruiting officers to keep
the corps to the required strength,
without being overrun with applicants.
BRAINBHIDGE PUSHING FORWARD.
Mr. F. W. Armstrong Tells of City’s
Rapid Advancement.
Mr. F. W. Armstrong of Balnbrldge,
general freight and passenger agent of
the Georgia, Florida and Alaibanaa
Railway was in the city yesterday.
Mr. Armstrong says that Balnbrldge
is advancing more rapidly than any
city in Southwest Georgia.
“For rapid advancement and marked
progress,” said Mr. Armstrong, "Bain
bridge is without a peer in her section
of the state. Numerous charters for
various manufacturing enterprises are
being granted every day, and already
the busy hum of machinery is heard
in many factories on the outskirts of
the city. The city has increased its
population 60 per cent, in the last five
years, and the commercial and dwell
ing houses that are now -being erected
speak well for the continued increase
in population.”
Mr. Armstrong says the prosperity
of Balnbrldge is due largely to its be
ing situated in one of the most fertile
and productive sections of the state.
Tobacco is one of the largest produc
tions in its section, and within a few
miles of Balnbrldge the largest tobacco
plantation in the world is operated.
This plantation was recently awarded
by the Universal Exposition at St.
Eouis a gold medal for producing the
finest texture of Sumatra wrapper
grown anywhere.
Cairo, a few miles from Bainbridge,
ships more cane syrup than any place
of its size in the world. “When these
facts are taken into consideration,"
said Mr. Armstrong, “it Is easy to un
derstand why Bainbridge is becoming
prominent as a commercial and man
ufacturing center. Owing to the low
freight rates. It has become a Jobbing
point, and is supplying all the smaller
places in its section, with various com
mercial commodities.”
INVITATION TO LOCAL ELKS.
St. Augustine Elks have extended an
Invitation to the local members of the
fraternity to be present at the dedica
tion of their new home, Nov. 24. The
local lodge will not attend as a body,
but several of the members have ex
pressed their Intention of attending.
The Elks’ home at St Augustine was
recently completed, after the expendi
ture of a large sum of money. An ex
tensive programme for the dedication
has been arranged, and handsome In
vitations sent out to neighboring
lodges. All visiting brothers are as
sured of a warm welcome.
TWO PAVING ORDINANCES.
Two paving ordinances, which were
Introduced and read In Council for the
first time at the last meeting, will be
passed at the meeting to-night. One
provides for the paving of Bryan street
from Abercorn to East Broad and the
other for the paving of Thirty-first
street from West Broad to the Ogee
chee road. Following these ordinances
a number of others will be Introduced
by the Streets and Lanes Committee,
the paving work for next year having
already been agreed upon.
FIREMEN'S (OKIT.K WAGON.
Miss Margaret A. Cosens filed a peti
tion with the Mayor and Aldermen
yesterday asking that 5100 be appropri
ated by the city for the maintenance
of the fireman's coffee wagon. The pe
tition tails of the donation of the wag
on by private Individuals, and the
great amount of good It lias done. The
funds have now been exhausted and
Mla* Cosens wants the city to provide
an appropriation for It. Mayor Myers
has promised to use his Influenca to
secure the appropriation.
SEVEN CIVIL CASES ENDED.
Fell! Jurors In Superior Court Ex
cused Until Friday.
Seven civil doses that had been as
signed for a hearing in the Superior
Court to-day were quickly disposed
of by Judge Cann. They were remov
ed from the docket either by settle
ment, dismissal or postponement. The
following is the record for the day:
The injunction proceedings of the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western Railway
against the Postal Telegraph Company
was dismissed on motion of the at
torney for the plaintiff.
The suit on account instituted by Wil
liam Ludden against Ludden & Bates
Music House was announced settled at
defendant’s cost. The same direction
w*as taken In the case of Miller & Uzzie
against the same defendants.
As the request of both parties the
damage suit of the Southern Grocery
Company against W. A. Susong was
passed until a later date. In the (fa.se
of Isaac Young against the Savannnah
Electric Company, damages, the plain
tiff was granted a postponement. The
appeal of J. F. Adams against the
Electric Park Amusement Company
was postponed until the December term
of the court. The divorce libel of Vir
ginia Palmer against Walter Palmer
goes over until Friday.
Eater In the day an order was pass
ed by Judge Cann, dismissing all the
Superior Court petit jurors until Friday
morning. There are no matters pend
ing that will require the services of
a jury previous to that date.
NEW TRIAL WAS DEN I ED.
Judge Cann Rales That I,lfe lea
fence Must Be Served.
Judge Cann yesterday heard the ar
gument of counsel for defense in the
ease of the state, against Nick Mcln
tosh, convicted of attempted car
wrecking and sentenced to life im
prisonment, on the motion made for
anew trial in the case. The motion
has been hanging in the court for sev
eral weeks. Judge Cann denied the
new trial.
Mclntosh Is the colored man who, it
is alleged, attempted to wreck a Thun
derbolt car of the Savannah Electric
Company, by placing a plank across
the trestle near Bonaventure Ceme
tery. A conviction was secured on
circumstantial evidence, though the
evidence was so convincing it left lit
tle doubt In the minds of any who
heard it. No recommendation was re
turned by the jury and this, coupled
with the previous bad record of the
defendant, drew him the heaviest sen
tence that the law allowed to be Im
posed. At the time he imposed sen
tence Judge Cann severely lectured the
prisoner.
It is not probable that an appeal will
be taken to the Supreme Court, the
general feeling being that sufficient
has already been done for the man,
and that furthermore such an appeal
would not be availing toward securing
anew trial.
ELSIE BOSTICK DIED
ATMILLEDGEVILLE.
A letter was received yesterday in the
Court of Ordinary from the superin
tendent of the insane asylum at Mll
ledgeville stating that Elsie Bostick,
colored, had died there and had been
given Christian burial. Elsie was
sent to the asylum for treatment from
this county, and bad been in the in
stitution for less than a year.
Elsie was better known as "the
woman who went to heaven via the
Chatham Court of Ordinary.” When
the deputy sheriff who had taken her
in custody marched her up the Court
House she spied the heavy gates be
fore the building and exclaimed that
they were "the gates ajar.” Later she
saluted Judge McAlpin as the worthy
St. Peter and was continually confus
ing the. clerks and other officials of
the court with the seven ranks of an
gels.

CATALPAS DOING WELL.
Pensacola Journal: The hundreds of
catalpa trees, which were planted last
year by the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad at a point near Goulding,
were found yesterday to be In excel
lent condition, and the experiment of
growing trees In this soil has proved
so far to be a decided success. It was
feared that the trees would not flour
ish in this section, but when an In
vestigation was made yesterday it was
found that the roots had extended for
five or six feet In the ground. It is
the Intention of the Louisville and
Nashville to keep up the grove now
started and manufacture cross-ties

HER ARM SHOT OFF.
Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Lewis and chil
dren of Thomas county. Georgia, pass
ed through Tallahassee a few days
ago In wagons, bound for the bay
shore fisheries. They camped twenty
five miles south of Tallahassee. As Is
the custom with the people visiting the
Gulf fisheries, they had a loaded gtn
In the wagon. Mrs. Lewis seised the
gun with her right hand, and in at
tempting to pull it out, it was dis
charged, the entire charge entering
her right arm. Doctors found that
amputation was necessary, and her
right arm was cut off below the el
bow.
FOUND HIS #1.400 AGAIN.
James D. Dowling of Baxter, who
lost $1,400 a few days ago, had the
good luck to find it Sunday. He re
membered having gone up the river a
few steps to cut a riding whip on the
day he lost the money, and went to
search the spot closely, when, to his
surprise, he was made happy once
more by finding the roil of bills near
the river bank. The money was ail in
good ahape.
RACK KHI.I. ON THEN.
Tampa Morning Tribune; What
came near being a very serious acci
dent occurred In the of the Mor
gan Faint and FaperbangtMg Company
an Franklin street about 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. As the proprietor,
Mr. J. H. Morgan, his wife and Mr.
Hart Ohaven were leaving the shop, in
some inexplicable manner the paper
rack fell upon them, pinning them to
the floor. As there were 1,500 rolls of
paper, weighing from 75 to 100 pounds
a roll, on the rack at the time, their
escape from very serious Injuries Is
almost miraculous. A nail in the
rack struck Mr. Ohaven's neck caus
ing him to bleed profusely, and he was
painfully bruised about the body and
limbs, as also were Mr. and Mrs. Mor
gan, the nervous shock to the latter
being very great.
