Blessed are the Charles Jackson Shipps, who can lose, and never bat an eye! y 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.

A few doses of Croxone never fail to relieve such troubles, because it cleans out the clogged up, inactive or gans, and makes them work properly. 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 out results.
