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. The - 'V /^T <Sunbcuj-escnoof 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.

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. R. W. LINSENBY, City Clerk, Dothan, Ala. A Georgia Woman. Sparks, Ga., Jan. 11, 1909. Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y. 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. Sincerely, MRS. E. V. STEVENS. Baptist Minister. l 'Yjnsbn, Ga., Jan. 20, 1909.

Elkwocd, Ala., Dec. 14, 1908. 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.

Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y. 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, REV. J. R. TAYLOR, Pastor Baptist Church, New Roads, Lci. i 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. M. B. HENDRICKSON, Rural Letter Carrifer, Route No. 2. A Contractor. Donalsonville, Ga., Jan. 20, 1909. Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y. 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, M. H. HICKSON, Donalsonville, Ga. DR. KILMER Dr. Kilmer’s likeness is °n the out side wrapper of every bottle. _ Beneficial in Severe Cases. Edgefield, Tenn. Dr Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton N. Y. 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.

Results it Has Proved. Dothan, Ala., Jan. 21, 1909. Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y. 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-, New York, and am always traveling on the road. Drinking the different waters affected my kidneys. Yours respectfully, SAMUEL WOLF. A Prominent Mason. Jackson, Tenn. 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. J. C. SMITH, Jr., 33d degree Mason. Fully Satisfied. Waycross, Ga., Jan. sth, 1909. Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y. 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, SIMON MARTIN.
