L"nc acid excites tile kidneys, they become overworked, set sluggish, ache and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy, the bladder is Irritated and you may bo obliged to seek relief two or three limes dunng the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body s urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. .At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you Buffet' from backache, tick headaene, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic tv- inges when the weather is bad. To cure above troubles and rtush out the kidneys, get from any pharmacist a big $1."" bottle of Stu art’s Hucuu and Juniper Compound, rake as directed on bottle, and in a few days your kidneys will taeu act fine.

Stanley is spending a few days at home, enjoying a much- needed and well-deserved rest from his official duties. The Commissioner is well please** with the wor* of his department, which is relatively a youngster ampng the other departments, and talks most interestineiv of the same. Discussing the year’s labors before leaving for home, Commissioner Stanley said: “Already a great deal of statistical matter concerning the industrial re sources of the State, which has nev er before been compiled, has been dis seminated, and as the department grows this work will increase and much valuable information will be prepared and distributed. “The department lias accomplished a great work in seeing that the laws regarding the employment of women and children are complied with. The act creating this department makes it my duty to aee that these laws are enforced. “When 1 took charge of the office the law requiring mercantile and manufacturing establishments to fur nish seats to their female employees was a dead letter, and had been for more than twenty years. This law is now being enforced. The large de partment stores in the city h#.ve al ready provided seats for their female employees, and we now are looking after the enforcement of the law in the smaller cities and towns. “J have begun work on tlie second annual report to the Governor and it will make an even better showing than the one issued for the year end ing December 31 of last year.” President J. Randolph Anderson, ex-officio Lieutenant Governor of Georgia, is improving rapidly from an operation for appendicitis, which took place in Savannah Monday. His physicians say that he will be out within the next two weeks. Representative-elect Thomas Car roll, of Catoosa, named to succeed Representative Bryan, deceased, fur nishes a fine example of the virtue of keeping everlastingly at it! He has been a candidate for the House regularly for some 30 years, and never before has won out. He lias been a perpetually willing sacri fice fir principle’s sake, however, and has not grown weary in well doing, as he managed to see things. „ He accumulated a large “hunch” several years ag > that sooner or lat er he was to serve a term in the Georgia Legislature, and he never has been able to shake himself loose from that “hunch,” despite his varied as sortment of Waterloos. And now—well, he is Representa tive-elect, at last, and he will be sworn in next summer, “if he lives land nothing happens!” Mr. Carroll is a popular and able man, and his friends predict for him a useful career in the House. The chartering of the State Pecan Bank, in Baconton. makes the nine teenth State bank organized and started in business this year. On December 10 last year there had been chartered and started in business exactly 30 State banks—a number so far ahead of this year’s record that it will not be equaled even approximately. This has not been as good a year as iast for organizing banks—that much is evidci but it has been an ex ceeding .osperous year in Georgia, neverthvlc&b. The joint Legislative Committee of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, which is to-day looking over the State's fine terminal property in Chattanooga with a view to making recommendations as to the forthcoming re lease of the road, has no power to make binding reports. AY hat it may have to say to .the Leg islature next summer will be merely advisory, and in no way mandatory. The road will not be disposed of as to its future by the present Legislature —nor, perhaps, by the next. It is hoped that the way may be cleared up com pletely, however, for the Legislature that does act finally, as to what terms shall govern the re-lease of the road. This property is the biggest asset the State has, of course. Tt is worth to day many times what it cost, and will continue to enhance in value as the years go by. There is no doubt what ever that it will be re leased -if it is dis posed of that way, which seems most likely—upon terms far more advanta geous to the State than the present con tract. The fund arising from the rent of this road goes to the common school fund, and -hence the Legislature will be par ticularly careful to make it produce the maximum of revenue. Judge Moses Wright, of the Rome Su perlor Court circuit, who is a mighty hunter, recently had a most harrowing experience in Alabama. The Judge heard there was some tine j bird shooting to be had in that State, and as it is only a few miles from his | home in Floyd ’to the Alabama line, he . finally got his consent to pay the re quired 513 hunting license in Alabama, and hied him forth to hunt. He had fine luck, too, and killed a big bag. When he started home with his Kill, however, lie suddenly recollected that he couldn’t carry those birds into Geor gia and not violate the law' Being a judge, he couldn’t afford to violate the law, no matter how great the tempta tion. Besides, there was a companion hunter along who might tell. I! was not long until train time, moreover—-and so, there was nothing to it but to give all those fine birds away and give them away in Alabama, at that! Judge Wright will now sell his $13 Alabama hunting license for $3.49, if anybody wants to buy it! Norman Hackett To Play Stock Here A stock company headed by Nor- rca.ii Hackett probably will open at the Lyric Theater after two more weeks of road shows, according to an n nn ounce me •■it made Thursday by Hugh Cardoza, manager of the‘house. Emma Bunting will come to the Lyric next, week and the following week there will be another road show. Then Hackett will be here, and unless first- class road companies can be booked Hackett probably will remain in At lanta at the head of the company in fcitcck. It is understood'that the change i from road shows to stock companies will be made in several of the Jake Wells theaters in the South, owing to the lack of good road productions. Swaps Chunk of Ice For 4 Hens: Jailed COLUMBUS, Dec. 11.—John Rich ards, a negro delivery man for an ice plant in this city’, is in the county jail in default of bond for exo-hang ing a piece of ice for four dressed hens he found in an ice box at the Af fleck Hotel, w r hen he went to leave ice for the day. When the fowl® were missed a search was instituted and they were found in the negro's home. CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAIL WAY COMPANY. Notice to the Traveling Public.
