With the arrest late Thursday
night of four negroes, the detective
department believes the gang of
plumbing thieves that has done thou

alias "Country,” Charles Curtiss and
Torn Jackson.
Although officials of the Southern
Hell will not give any details, it is
known that about $3,000 worth of
copper wire has been stolen within
a few weeks. *
The National Furniture Company,
which at the present time is shut
down, was rifled of plumbing and
brass fixtures a short time ago.
Heavy damage was done 'n remov

Colonel Charles Jackson Shipp, who
ran for Railroad Commissioner in the
last State primaries, and didn't get
elected, evidently has not become a
pessimist because of that
On the contrary, Colonel Shipp,
forsaking the vexing and fretting
thoughts of politics and politicians,
of laf< has turned his attention and
his talents to the sweetei and may
hap simpler things of life, and where
once he thundered political opinions
and conclusions from the stump, now
he sings vociferously of the festive
l * amnion and the rare dylights of
autumn merging serenely into win
ter!
In the current issue of The Cor-
dele Rambler. Mr. Shipp's splendid
and always interesting little news
paper. that gentleman poetically ob
serves :

After all, it is not the sum total of
political Ilf** to live, nor all of the
same to die. There are more per
suasive things than viewing
alarm, the while the country
riot to ruin in the hands of
loathed enemy.

Dr. Elmo Ballevv, one of the politi
cal "war horses” of grand old Gor
don County, is attending the boys’
corn show in Atlanta.
The doctor specializes in corn cul
ture, among other things, and is
something of a noted agricultural
sharp in his vicinity of endeavor. As
surpassingly fair, however, as his
broad and untarnished escutcheon is
in the matter of farm lore, he still j
•corns not to take ad\ ice
younger men.
His ow n t orn crop this year, he |
avers, is “middling fine,” and made j
in the most profuse and generous ;
sweat of his brow, and still he thinks ;
he might have made it better had he '
but known in the beginning all he j
knew when on yesterday he had fin- j
ished an inspection of the great show
in the Capitol!
“These corn shows arr* great.” said I
I>r. Ballew, discussing the exhibition,
“and I think w e should encourage j
them all wft can. The boys of Gor- |
don County are splendidly repre-j
sented here, and they deserve great;
credit for the fine work they have •
done. The corn dubs have done much !
to better agricultural conditions in
Georgia.”
In order to anticipate as much as
possible the rush for new automobile j
numbers, which must be secured for!
the year 1914, Secretary Phil Cook j
of the State Department will have
the new numbers ready for distribu
tion on December If*. They cost $5 i
each, and every owner of a car must I
have a new number, regardless of
past issues.
The new law' goes into effect on
January 1, and ears without new
numbers on March 1 will be out- ;
la wed. As nothing is ty be gained |
by waiting until March Jo procure
new numbers, however, * he State I
Department will prepare to issue j
them at once.
After January 1 every motor car,
in Georgia must have a new num- ,
her annually, costing $3.
It looks n little as if the pressure j
brought to bear upon President Wil
son in the matter of Judson c\. Clem
ents’ proposed retirement from the
Interstate Commerce Commission
may bear fruit. The friends of Judge
Clements have taken hope of late,
and now believe that there is it least
•in even chance that things may fall
his way. and reappointment be ten
dered.
There seems to be a feeling
throughout all Washington, not only
in Congress, but in the various de
partments. that failure to reappoint
the Georgian now' would work irrep- I
arable injury to the Commission
He is the one members of the body j
whose experience is long and who
kn**vy- the Ins and outs <*f the Com- ;
sion's work thoroughly. To drop ;
i now would be to leave the Com- j
Mioit*without one member there- .
on who is ultimately qualified for the
position. Moreover, there has been j
much resentment manifested here,
and there that Clements fceemingl>
was considered for the discards most
ly in order that a nice comfortable j
berth might be supplied to former
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina.
The reappointment of Judson C.
Clements to the Interstate Commerce
Commission apparently will be highly j
gratifying to Georgia, and in the same '
ratio would his turning down likely
be heartily protested and resented.
Byron Williams, of Meriwether, j

of late as a member of the next Sen
ate. ;s in Atlanta. Few' men are bet» j

if he runs for the office stated, there I
is no doubt whatever that he will he |
a most formidable candidate.
Moreover, he hails from one of
Georgia’s star counties, politically
speaking—the county that has fur
nished Georgia with a number of
Governors and other Statehouse of-
fleers. The present Governor was
born in Meriwether, and several more
came from that same vicinity of the
vineyard.

A few doses of Croxone never fail
to relieve such troubles, because it
cleans out the clogged up, inactive or

It soaks right into the kidneys, cleans
out the little filtering cells and glands,
neutralizes the urine so it no longer
irritates the tender membranes of the
bladder, dissolves the poisonous uric
acid substances that lodge in the joints
and muscles, and scratch and irritate,
and cause rheumatism, and cleans out
and strengthens the lifeless kidneys so
they can filter, and sift the poison from
the blood and drive It out of the systen
So sure—so positive—so quick an<i
lasting are the results obtained fror,
Croxone, that three doses a day for a
few days, are often all that is require*
to end the worst backache, regulate th*
most annoying bladder disorders, and
put the kidneys in healthy, active con
dition.
It is practically impossible to take this
quick-acting, effective preparation with
