ed blood will at
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by a proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample l>ottle and a book that tells all
aliout it, both sent free by mail. Address,

(Communicated)
AN OPEN LETTER.
To T. W. Mitchell,
Deputy Sov. Com., W. 0. W.
Esteemed Sovereign:
Your card addressed with unduly
soft sentiment to ‘‘The Good People
of Chattooga County,” I regard as a
deliberate effort to mislead the peo
ple about the Columbian Woodmen.
There is nothing detrimental you
dare say openly against the said
Fraternity nor any one of its offi
cers. People understand ‘hat inju
rious statements or letters circula
ted “in confidence’ always in
volve falsehood and cowardice. You
are, as curs on a strange trail, are
liable to do barking up the wrong
stump.
Col. O. R. Flournoy, a gentleman
NOT at. ex-bartender, and NOT found
now, nor when he traveled under my
Commission for the W. O. W., always
with a bottle of liquor in his grip
or pocket, stated to me that in Tam
pa, Fla., you said the Columbian
Woodmen did not pay its ligitimate
obligations. Will you state to the
“good people of Chattooga county"
the rebuke you received?
I am now advised that you have
written a letter artfullyworded to con
vey the false conclusion, without di
rectly statirg it, that the Columbian
Woodmen has no money.
, You cannot say more for the W. Q.
W. that I can. You have no fidel-
I Ity to give it equal to mine. And
; you will tell me now why you hung
• about the Columbian Woodmen of
! flee while drawing a salary from the
J W. O. W. in the first days of this
; Fraternity until I told you plainly
• that the Columbian Woodmen had
I no proposition to make to you, and
; that I didnt believe your visits were
• for any honest purpose. Enlighten
. us now, as you failed to do so then.
Were you seeking employment with
• this Fraternity or were you ernulat-
• lug tho spy? The good people of
i Chattooga county will be glad to
' know whether you felt the Colum
bian Woodmen In Its infancy was a
• more 'hy cause, that you sought
.’.o employment or whether you
• thought the W. O. W. was so de
. graded in its methods as to wish
J an organizer to spy upon another
• Fraternity.
> You state that an organizer of the
J Columbian Woodmen Is represent
' ing this Fraternity as a branch of
I the W. O. W. I challenge the truth
fulness of the statement.
' The Sovereign Commander has
' clearly set forth the Impossibility of
. such an error not alone on account
i of the dissimilarity of name, but be
’ cause of the total contrast. In finan
i cial plan ami benefits. We never re-
I fer to the Columbian Woodmen with
out using the first word of the name
so that any confusion is impossi
-1 bio. We place no Monument at the
grave omitting that beautiful and ap
propriate tribute performed by the
W. O. W. On the other hand we pay
total disability, loss of leg, loss of
arm, loss of eye, and broken leg
and broken arm benefits, also keep
the Covenant in force If ill and un
able to give notice or make payment,
all of which are different from the
plain death ami monument benefits
of the W. O . W.
I am advised that a friend of yours
strenuously piled an organizer of the
Columbian Woodmen to get him to
make some false statement about
the two fraternities, but that even
these methods failed of their pur
pose. In my judgement a man whe
would endeavor to lead another Into
falsehoods would himself commit
them if they would serve his dis
honorable purpose.
The Modern Woodmen of America
is the Original order of Woodcraft.
When the W. O. W. eight years la
ter was organized the Sovereign Com
inander prepared to use and print
ed our first literature with the name.
“The Sovereign Camp of the World
Modern Woodmen of America." but
was emphatically admonished that
this was an encroachment on the
rights of the original order, and
therefore changed It to what in my
judgment is a better name. W. O. W.
But the poiut is that at that time
the literature of the W. 0. W. in
cluding the Sovereign Visitor teemed
with articles where the "Woodcraft"
was indiscriminately applied to both
the M. W. A. and the W’. O W’.
, No such misleading indiscretion has
: been committed by the Columbian
i Woodmen.
For a young and vital Fraternity
I to pose as a part of any of the ol-
• der assessment orders would be its
' most certain suicide. The Colurn
] bian Woodmen b.»s a financial plan
•o much superior, benefit* so much
I broader, and an accumulation of sur
i plus so much more substantial in
i proportion its splendid tnember
| ship, and a record of prompt and full
I payment of . i .ims so much superior.
I that it would oe the sufferer and the
I injured part? in my claim that
1 might be rediculously made, as to
its connection with any other insti-
tution of Insurance in America, stock
company or Fraternal, and should
we be given evidence sufficient in
amount and reliability that we have
thus been wronged by any misguid
ed organizer, we shall revoke his
commission without delay. W’e are
not, however, Mr. Mitchell, going to
take this action on your word. I
will add, however, that if my
friend Sovereign George Chidsey of
Rome, Georgia, whom you named as
one of your deputies, makes such
statement based upon his own hear
ing and knowledge, it will be ac
cepted without qualification.
In conclusion, the W. 0. W. Is not
in any need of your methods-
Straightforward, dignified, truthful
representation is all It needs. Fur
thermore, should your methods de
ter any man, whether he be a Sov
ereign or not, from the Columbian
Woodmen you do him and his fam
ily a deeper injury, a graver evil
a more malignant turn than could
’ be given by his lowest and foulest
enemy. You deprive him of substan
tial relief if he should suffer a brok
en arm or leg, or If he should suffer
tiie loss of limb or eye. Suppose he
should suffer the loss of two limbs
or become blind by accident or dis
ease, that he Is a Sovereign,—what
will you do? Stand over this blind
and helpless being unable to earn
money to sustain his family or to pay
his assessments In other orders, and
tell him and his loved ones that the
order you represent has nothing for
him, tell them you prevented his
Joining the Columbian Woodmen
which if he had joined would now be
in his home with the same sum for
. them all, as other orders pay only In
i case of death? Is this your work.
I have placed in the W. 0. W.
I thousands of sovereigns to your one.
I I have carried FRATERNITY from
. the Rio Grande to the James river,
i and never by pen or word sought to
prevent any man joining any other
i fraternity, or taking other protection.
. I am prepared now to say better
f things for the W. O. W. than you
t can say. I believe better of It than
. you believe, for I know it needs no
t base and negative methods nor men.
I would write a man for the W. O. W
i for his advantage, you would debar
. a man from the Columbian Wood
, men to his personal detriment and
• the affliction of his family. We are
Fraternalists. You are a “Hatred
! Ist.”
The first great benefit Sovereign
’ Root did humanity was to organize
the Modern Woodmen as Its Head
Consul, next to organize the W. O.
W. The first good I carried to eighty
' seven thousand of my fellow-people
was to make them Sovereigns, the
next is to make them with thousands
of others, Worthy Guests. The first
. duty you now owe all Is to reform,
. cease so be a “Hatredist,” and with
, the rest of us become Fraternalists.
Most cordially yours,
, Jonathan B. Frost,
Eminent Consul.

MONEY FOR PENSIONS
Will Be Sent Out About the First
of February.
Atlanta, Ga.--The state treasury has
on hand now enough money to pay
all the p;nsh ners of the state, but
it will be arout February 1 before
the pensions will be paid, since it
will take until that time to get all
the papers in ihupe.
Commissioner Lindsey is hard at
work now on the pension rolls, and
by the first of the month will be
ready to pay all of the $950,000 pen
sion money in a lump sum. The pen
sioners will not be paid by counties
on different dates, as formerly, but
the checks will be made out and
mailed to the ordinary in each county
on the same date and the pensions
will be paid by the ordinaries.
Tnere is now in the state treasu
ry more than $1,000,000, and it is ex
pected the return from taxes and oth
er sources will run this amount up
within the next week or ten days to
almost double that sum.
The first steps looking to the ex
tension of the Western and Atlantic
railroad from Atlanta to the sea were
taken when the extension commissior
appointed by Governor Smith met at
the state capitol, elected Hooper Al
exander chairman and appointed a
committee to gather information con
cerning the feasibility and advisabil
ity of carrying the project into effect
It was agreed by the commission
that the main features of the propos
ed extension which it is called upon
to investigate are the probable cost,
the direction the extension will take,
whether the work can be done by
convicts, and whether, as a general
proposition, it will be advisable for
the state to continue its policy of
owning a railroad. The committee
indulged in a general discussion of
these questions, but no definite ac
tion was taken.
ITASCA, TEXAS
Dear Editor: —If you will give me
space I will tell my friends in Geor
gia where I live. I am two miles
from Itasca, in Hill county. I have
gone to farming. This is a fine
country for farming. This is a black
land country. It grows anything here
that you plant. This land makes one
half to three-fourths of a bale of
cotton to the acre. Wheat 25 to 30
bushels per acre. Oats 40 to 50
bushels per acre. No guano at all.
One man can tend 50 to 60 acres.
Mr. J. R. Pope has the largest tur
nips I ever saw. Some of them will
weigh ten pounds. We put up about
15 bushels yesterday.
We have not had any cold weath
er yet.
There Is a great deal of cotton in
the field yet.

‘‘l was run down and weak from in
digestion and general debility, also
suffered from vertigo. I saw a cod
liver preparation called Vlnol adver
tised and decided to give It a trial,
and the results were most gratifying.
After taking two bottles I regained
my strength and am now feeling un
usually well.” Henry Cunningham,
Elder Baptist Church, Kingston, N C
Vinol is not a patent medicine —
but a preparation composed of the
medicinal elements of cods livers,
combined with a tonic iron and wine.
Vinol creates a hearty appetite, tones
up the organs of digestion and makes
rich, red blood. In this natural man
ner, Vinol creates strength for the
run-down, overworked and debilitat
ed, and for delicate children and old
people. For chronic coughs, colds
and bronchitis Vinol Is unexcelled.
All such persons in this vicinity are
asked to try Vinol on our offer to
refund their money if it fails to give
satisfaction.
Vinol is sold in Summerville by the
Summerville Drug Co.

No Land So Rich That Fertilizer
Cannot Make It Better .■
You use fertilizers for the profit you get out of them—and the
better the land the more profitably a good fertilizer can be used on it. L
Do not imagine because land will produce a fair crop without
Virginia-Carolina j
Fertilizers I
that these fertilizers cannot be profitably used on it, or that they were |
made only for land too poor to produce without them. If poor land
will show a normal increase when fertilizer is used, good land will |
show at least double the increase. Use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers
to increase the quality, as well as the quantity of the crop —and you
will increase the profits from your land.
“I have been using your fertilizers for a number of years ’ says
Mr William Fraiser, of Glasburg, ''and find that it not only fiays
to fertilize, but to do plenty of it, and use the best fertilizers to oe
had, such as your brands. I have used a number of them and fount!
them to be as recommended and to give better results than any other
fertilizers that I have ever used.”
Every planter and farmer should he re a copy of the new
