THE NORTH GEORGIAN
(SUCCESSOR TO THE NORTH
GEORGIA BAPTIST.)
Entered at the postofflce at Cum
eilng, Ga., as second class matter.
-Vy , " 1
Says the Cleveland Plain Dealer-.
The thermometer keeps going up an’
down so fast it rattles.
Itemember, admonishes the At-*.n
ta Constitution, monuments are the
only still things In this rushing year.
An Oklahoma man killed his broth
er for swearing. That particular of
fence was overlooked by the Oklaho
ma constitution, notes the Chicago
News, so the man felt that he had to
attend to it himself.
The proper nu.nner in getting on
and off of street cars Is being taught
in the public schools of Chicago and
the Idea is not at ull bad, to the Sa
vannah News. It is probably a fact
that not more than one woman in ten
knows how to get off a street car in a
manner tbal is least, dangerous, or if
she does know she fails to exercise
her knowledge. Most of the falls from
street car steps are due to the fact
that the person ges off “backwards.”
Labor would be stupidly shortsight
ed, avers the New York Evening
Post, if it failed to recognize that,
whether it would or not, woman has
entered the economic field to stay,
and that having done so, it would be
for the interests of workingmen as
well as workingwomen that the latter
should be given the power to work
for their own betterment in legiti
mate political ways. Growing, too, is
the feeling among the working classes
that a vote for women would mean
a migration of the drink evil, the
gambling habit, and other forms of
dissipation of which, the lords of cre
ation will admit in moments of con
fidence, they are themselves the vic
tims.
While the work of the fields chief
ly engages the Indian, his services
are tendered for still more laborious
projects. Gangs of redskins have been
assigned by contract to Irrigation and
railroad excavations, and done their
work so well that the demand for
them exceeds the supply, asserts the
New York Mail. The Santa Fe rail
road has had a gang, 210 strong, do
ing repair work on tlie lines west of
Albuquerquo. Practically all of the
work of controlling the inflow of the
Colorado river to the Salton sea was
done by Indians, chiefly Pimas and
Papagos, as many as 1100 having
been employed. From this job they
cleaned up in a few mouths net wages
of more than SIOO,OOO. The story of
all the western reservations is that
the Indian is actually working out his
own salvation. Nobody else could do
it for him.
The irrepressible conflict between
the people of the state and reckless
automobile drivers will lose much of
its virulence if reasonable users of
motor cars continue to side with the
public, prophesies the New York
World. There is comparatively little
opposition among such automobilists
to Gov. Hughes’s recommendation of
a special tax. to be applied to road
construction and maintenance. It is
fair that machines that ruins roads so
rapidly should help pay for them.
But the tax is only part of what
should be the settled policy of the
state. The most important points of
such a needed policy are ihese: A
graduated road tax, nominal upon
light automobiles of moderate speed,
increasing rapidly as weight and pow
er increase. Absolute prohibition of
all chains, spikes and other anti
skidding devices that destroy the
roads. Limited period road tax for
out-of-the-state machines. Carefully
guarded licenses, revoked for cause.
Jail sentences for speed maniacs and
for those who commit manslaughter
ny reckless driving. A fixed policy
along these lines, rigorously enforced,
would interfere with no man’s busi
ness or legitimate pleasure and would
tend to remove the sense of outrage
which rural communities attempting
to maintain good roads, and all city
communities, now feel toward auto
mobile users.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM
MENTS FOIt MARCH 21.
Review of <he Lessons For the First
Quarter Golden Text: “They
That Were Scattered Abroad
Went Everywhere Preaching the
Word.” Acts M:4.
The lessons of the quarter extend
over a period of perhaps ten years,
from Thursday, May 18, A. D. 30, to
perhaps A. D. 40. They are all con
cerned with the things that Jesus'
continued to do after His resurrection
through the Holy Spirit. A profitable
review can be conducted along the
line of the power of the Risen Christ.
Lesson I. shows us the Risen Christ
as the Giver of the Holy Spirit.
Lesson 11. again shows us the Risen
Christ as the Giver of the Holy Spirit.
Lesson 111. shows us the Risen
Cerist exalted, receiving from the
Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
and pouring Him forth on the church.
Lesson IV. shows us the Risen
Christ healing and making strong the
man born lame.
Lesson V. shows us the Risen
Ch.ist bestowing the Holy Spirit upon
His faithful servants and making
them fearless in the presence of great
peril. It also shows us the Risen
Christ as the only One in whom there
is salvation.
Lesson VI. shows us the Risen
Christ executing judgment in His
church.
Lesson VIT. shows us the Risen
Christ delivering His faithful serv
ants from peril and filling them with
dauntless courage.
Lesson VIII. shows us the Risen
Christ imparting power and grace to
His faithful servant. It also shows
us the Risen Christ in the glory at
the right hand of God.
Lesson IX. shows us the Risen
Christ bestowing the Holy Ghost in
answer to the prayer of His servants.
Lesson X. shows us the Risen
Christ winning a man of great au
thority to Himself.
Lesson XI. shows us the Risen
Christ making whole the sick and
raising the dead.
Our Two Natures.
There are two natures in man that
are as distant as day and night. With
the old Adam within us if we do not
keep him down in the place of death
he brings us into captivity.
It takes us about all our lifetime
to find out who and what we are, and
when we think we know something
happens to make us think we are
farther away than when we started.
The heart is deceitful above all
things.
In the sixth chapter of Romans it
Is written: “Knowing this, that our
old man is crucified with Him, that
the body of sin might be destroyed,
that henceforth we should not serve
sin. For he that is dead is freed
from sin.” And in the eleventh verse
there are just three words to be es
pecially considered: “Reckon your
selves dead.” If we were really dead
we would not have to reckon our
selves dead. Judicially we are dead,
hut in reality we are still fighting the
world, the flesh and the devil. Some
people seem to think they have got
away from the flesh, and that they
are soaring away in a sort of seventh
heaven, but they getback again soA
er or later. You cannot make nre
flesh anything but flesh. It will be
flesh all the time. —D. L. Moody.
His Own Pilot.
A bright boy, who loved the sea,
entered on a sailor's life when veiy
young. He rose to quick promotion,
and while quite a young man was
made the master of a ship. One day
a passenger spoke to him upon the
voyage, and asked if he should an
chor off a certain headway and tele
graph for a pilot to take the vessel
into port. “Anchor? No, not I. I
mean to be in dock with the morning
tide. I am my own pilot,” was the
curt reply.
Intent upon reaching port by morn
ing he took a narrow channel to save
distance. Old, bronzed, gray-headed
seamen turned their swarthy faces to
tho skv, which boded squally weath
er, and shook their heads. We need
not describe a storm at sea. Enough
to say that the captain was ashore
earlier than he promised tossed
sportively upon some weedy beach, a
dead thing that the waves were weary
of—and his queenly ship and costly
freight were scattered over the surfy
acres of an ar.gry sea. —Expositor.
A Sign of Greatness.
The highest great ness is that which
is unconscious of itself. The very
forth-putting of an effort to be great
in any direction indicates that we
lack that greatness. How true this
is in art, for example, every one who
has had an artist among his friends
can tell. The greatest achievements
made by the sculptor or painter have
been those in which they have' been
least conscious of their greatness.
So too, in the Christian life, which is
the grandest of all arts, we have not
yet attained so long as we are con
scious of exertion. If I make an ef
fort to he humble, then very clearly
I have not reached the perfect humil
ity. for if I had, that grace would sit
upon me as unconsciously as do my
garments. “Moses wist not that the
skin of his face shone while he talked
with Him.”—Dr. W. M. Taylor.

envy those who saw the Star.

The Test That Tells.
Dothan, Ala., Jan. 21, 1909.
Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y.
Gentlemen: About one year ago
two of my children suffered badly
from weak kidneys and diabetes;
their urine was very- bad and they
would have severe spells of dizziness,
and were all run down in health. I
wast just about discouraged. I tried
several remedies and finally a doctor,
but they did not seem to improve. I
knew of a friend who was taking
Swamp-Root for kidney trouble with
good results, and I decided to get
some for the children. I noticed there
was some improvement after they
had taken two large bottles, and con
tinued to give it to them until they
had taken a half dozen bottles and
were well on the road to recovery.
I think Swamp-Root has done more
for my children than any other med
icine I have tried, and I recommend
it to one having children who suffer
ed as mine did.

Gentlemen: Some time ago I wa3
troubled' with kidney trouble; had
severe pains in back and hips. Was
treated by a physician, but without
any benefit. I noticed some Swamp-
Root advertising and resolved to give
it a trial. After taking four bottles
I was completely cured. Have not
suffered any pain at all since and
can recommend Swamp-Root to any
on“ suffering from kidney trouble.

you ask for—there is no other medicine as good as Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
IF YOU NEED A MEDICINE YOU SHOULD HAVE THE BEST.
SWAMP ROOT is not reecommended for everything, but if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble
obliged to go often during the day and get up many times during the night, have smarting irritation in
passing or heart disturbance due to kidney trouble, Swamp-Root will be found just the remedy you need.
DON’T BE MISLED. —For example, when you ask for Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the Great Kidney,
T iver and Bladder Remedv, don’t allow any druggist, drug clerk or store keeper to persuade you into buying

profit, but you are humbugged at the expense of your health.

Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y.
Dear Sirs: I have derived suca
great benefit from the use of your
remedy, Swamp-Root, that I believe
it to be most Important for the pub
lic to know its worth. For the past
ten years I have been, the most mis
erable of men. Did not know what
the trouble was, but had to urinate
very frequently both day and night,
was all puffed up generally. Could
not sleep more than a couple of
hours at a time, was greatly dis
tressed after eating a meal and was
about worn cut. I had tried nearly
everything I could see advertised and
hear’ of, without helping me to any
great extent, until finally In October
last at Rlpan, Wis., I purchased a
one dollar bottle cf Swamp-Root and
commenced taking it according to di
rections and I followed that with
another bottle and experienced such
great relief and benefit from same
that I purchased five dollars’ worth
at Huntsville, Ala., and continued its
use and am now taking it, but in
smaller doses and twice a day in
place of four times a day and believe
by the time present supply is used
up I will be entiredy well. I am feel
ing better now than for ten years
past. Can eat and sleep first class,
n fact I am feeling so good that 1
cannot resist telling you about it.

Dears Sirs: I write today to the
public that your Swamp-Root cured
me of kidney trouble. I was almost
past going, having spasmodic spells
with my kidneys that were breaking
down my constitution. The best med
ical aid was employed and they pro
nounced my troubles as alkali in the
kidneys, but were unable to do me
any permanent good.
I took four bottles of Swamp-Root
and became a well man. This was
six years ago, and I have had no
trace of the trouble.
Yours for suffering man,

Mail Carrier’s Experience.
Blountville, Tenn.
I have been a: rural letter carrier for
over five years. Some two years ago
I was taken with severe pains in my
back. I used medicine from my fam
ily physician for several months with
out any benefit. A friend, Mr. J.
D. Nelson, advised me to try your
Swamp-Root, but I had no faith in it.
T continued to grow worse and at
last decided to try this remedy and
bought of Long Brothers
a fifty cent bottle, which
gave me great relief. I then bought
two one dollar bottles, which I can
’truthfully say have completely cured
me. _
Had it not been for Swamp-Root,
I would have been compelled to quit
the rural free .delivery service.
I advise all mail carriers who get
pains in their back that Swamp-Root
will cure them.
I was so bad that very often my
wife would have to help me to arise.

Gentleifien: About four years ago I
suffered from kidney trouble and
rheumatism in my hips. Ihe pain
across my back became so severe that
I could hardly straighten up and
could not walk without dragging my
feet I would urinate frequently and
would have to rise two or three times
during the night, causing me to suf
fer from loss of sleep. And with
the pain I was all run down and be
gan to lose flesh. I saw Swamp-Root
advertised and bought one bottle to
try it. After taking it I felt better
and could sleep all right at night I
continued to take it until I had taken
four large bottles. I was entirely free
from any pain in the back and be
o-an to gain in weight. I always rec
ommend Swamp-Root to my friends,
as I think the cure in my case re
markable. Yours very truly,

Gentlemen: I hardly know how to
express my appreciation for the good
vour Swamp-Root has done me. 1
had been greatly troubled withmy,
kidneys and with pain m the back,
“? wlth what the doctors termed
inflammation of the neck of blad
der Sometimes my back would get
in such shape that I was almost help
less. I had tried several doctors and
medicines to no good effect, and final
ly 1 noticed in some paper where
Dr Kilmer proposed to send a, sam
ple bottle of his kidney medicine.
Swamp-Root, free by mail. I sent
at once and received prompHy a sam
ple bottle. After taking it I found
,t did me good. I then purchased
two bottles from our merchant, Mr.
W J Elizer. After taking the med
icine I felt like anew man, and each
day rode five miles to teach school.

Dear Sirs: Have been suffering
more or less from kidney trouble for
the last five years and was induced
to try your Swamp-Root. Am happy
to say, or give you testimonial, that
it has cured me. I am a traveling
salesman for Messrs. Colgate & Co-,

on the road. Drinking the different
waters affected my kidneys.

According to my experience I do
not consider there is anything to equal
owamp-Root for kidney affection.
Twace it relieved me whan I was
completely helpless.
The last time I was traveling In
Texas, when my kidneys become af
fected and for ten days I suffered
xcruciating pains, accompanied with
-evere chills. Several years previ
ous having been relieved of a simi
lar ’ attack, I naturally sought relief
is before from Swamp-Root.
After using four of the large size
bottles, I was completely restored!
and went on my way rejoicing and'
praising Swamn-Root. This was
three years ago, and I have no in
dication of a return of the affli^on.

Dear Sirs: During last October I
suffered from my kidneys.
I consulted my physician who pre
scribed for me, but his treatment did
not benefit me. After reading some
Swamp-Root literature, I decided to
give it a trial. After taking a few
doses, I felt somewhere relieved, and
after two one dollar bottles had been
taken, I had no pain and was com
pletely cured. I have not had the
slightest pain in my back or hips
since. From my own experience, I
can cheerfully recommend Swamp-
to any one suffering from kid
ney trouble. Yours very truly,
