The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden
I deaths are caused
i by it—heart dis
ease, pneumonia,
heart failure or
apoplexy are often
the result of kid
ney disease. If
kidney trouble is
allowedtoadvance ,
the k idney-poison
ed blood will at-
IB
&i
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
onc-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and a book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,

if you do you will be disappointed.
Notice of Sale of Land by Guar
dian for Reinvestment
GEORGIA, Chattooga county.
On the 3 day of May, 1909, at.
the Court House in Rome, Ga., I,
as Guardian for Albert S. Ham
ilton, DeForeat A. Hamilton and
Margaret K. Hamilton, having
been appointed such Guardian in
Chattooga county, Georgia, shall
apply to the Judge of the Supe
rior Court of the, Rome Circuit
and said county, by petition for
rd order to sell at private sale
for re-investment, certain lands
belonging to my said Wards, to
v it:
“That tract or parcel of land
lying and being in the 23rd dis
trict and 3rd section of Floyd
county, to wit: Same being lot of
land number 293, except about
fifteen acres, more or less, re
aervid by Jefferson Johnson; al
so all that parts of lots of land
numbers 308 and 309, lying North
ol the Etowah river, except, how
ever, the right of way of the
Rome Railroad which is reserved.
Said lands fully described in a
deed of Execution of the estate
of Frank M. Freeman to Maggie
A. \llgood, recorded in Book oi
Deeds S. S. page 624.”
My reason for making said ap
plication is that said land is at
tended with great expense in the
proper keeping, that it is practi
cally impossible to preserve the
same and have it properly culti
vated at all times, and the re
investment sought will pay a bet
ter net income and is more suit
able as an investment for Wards.
A. S. HAMILTON,
Guardian.

20,000 VETERANS SURVIVE.
Wearers of the Gray Show Won
derful Longevity.
At the present time, about 16,-
000 persons are drawing pensions
from the state government, says
an Atlanta dispatch. A large part
of these arc the widows of veter
ans. Many estimate that if the
pension laws were broadened so
as to cover practically all soldiers
or their widows the present pen
sion digest would be at least dou
bled, the estimate being based on
the present S6O annual pension of
general eharact r. Advocates of
the amendment declare that in
the long run the state would be
put to no more expense than at
present in the matter of pensions*,
claiming that the old soldiers are
dying so rapidly that differences
would soon even up.
ft is remarkable that so many
veterans of the Confederate Arm}
soil survive, whc.i it is remember
ed that all must uc over 60 years
old. The war closed in 1865, and
its youngest members were not
less than 15 years of age. The
forty-fifth anniversary of the
close will soon be here. A year
hence, all veterans who were no
more than fifteen at the close of
the war will necessarily be sixty.
Few of those who served through
the entire struggle can be less
than sixty-five, and it is natural
to presume that very few of the
four year survivors are that
young.
Commissioner Lindsay is au
thority for the statement that
there arc no surviving veterans
under sixty, excepting possibly
members of the state malitia who
were never enlisted into the reg
ular service of the Confederacy.
Yet, it is estimated that there
are. between 20,000 and 25,000
men alive in Georgia today who
saw actual service in the struggle
between the states. As evidence
of their most unusual hardihood
is the fact that many of them are
doing active, responsible work,
just as wel, in many cases a great
deal better, than is done by the
average young man of the day.
General Mickle, an adjutant
and Gen. Clemant A. Evans, com
mander of the national I'. C. V.
estimated some time ago that
there are between 125,000 and
150,000 survivors, till told, of the
armies that followed Lee and
Jackson. They estimate further,
that these are dying at the rate
of 20 or 22 per cent of the surviv
ors annually.
Col. Lindsey has tried to arrive
at an approximate estimate by
means of the insurance eausualty
tables; but the veterans have out
lived the figures of the insurance
companies, which deal with ages
up to sixty alone. According to
insurance tables about all the vet
<*rans should be dead.
Under existing pension laws
all veterans who lost limbs or se
rious physical impairment may
draw pensions ranging from S6O
to $l5O. No property qualifica
tion is required; and none is re
quired of those few widows whose
husbands were lost during the
progress of the struggle and who
are paid, if still widows, SIOO a
year. Indigent veterans and wid
ows of such veterans may draw
S6O per annum, and the bulk ol
the pensions paid are in this class
These latter payments are based
in a sense on what is practically
a condition of pauperism. To re
move this requirement, is the pur
pose of the new pension law. The
veterans will not have to be with
out worldly goods to legally draw
stipends from the state coffers,
but merely not well to do. And
pensions paid to widows will not .
be confined to those who wed
their husbands before or during
the war; but to those who be
came the wives of old soldiers be
fore 1870.
The state is now paying out i
about nine hundred and fifty
thousand dollars annually in pen
sions. Although the requirements
have not been broadened there
has been no appreciable decrease I
in the budget for the past sever
al years. Indications are that it
will remain practically the same 1 ,
for years more, without any more;
bars being let down.
If a law is passed putting the ;
new amendment into effect, the'

will have to be cut or some means
adopted for raising the revenue,
as it will in all probability necessi
tate a much larger appropriation
for several years at least, and
the present revenues of the state
■annot bear with ease any increas
ed burdens
Historians estimate that about
one hundred and twnety thousand
men entered the Confederate ser
vice in some form from Georgia.
'Commissioner Lindsey estimates
that about one-half of these died
from disease or were killed, and
that two-thirds have died since
the war, leaving a total number
of twenty thousand surviving
Georgia verteans.
It is not denied that the aver
age life of Confederate veterans
has been much higher than that ol
other men of the time —the re
markable number of survivors
now, nearly a half century since
the first army was raised, is proof
of that. The hard outdoor life
of the men toughened those it did
not kill and the poverty and hard
struggles which confronted them
after peace was declared all tend
ed to strengthen them physically
and to lengthen their days.
It has been the duty of tax re
ceivers for several years to collect
data in their respective counties
as to all surviving veterans and
their widows ami their condition,
but the law requiring such has
been but little observed.
Georgia has been liberal in the
matter of pensions, having al
ready paid out-more money in
that line probably, than was
spent in equipping and maintain
ing the trops it furnished the con
federacy. Pensioning began with
the purchase of artificial limbs
for veterans needing them in 1879
leading to direct pensions to in
jured soldiers, the widows ot sol
diers who died or were killed, to
indigent veterans and the widows
of indigent veterans.
At the close of 1907, a total of
$11,208,011.55 had been spent in
pensions. In 1908 andl9o9 ap
proximately $1,000,000 was spent
making a grand total of about
$13,250,000.

THE COST OF BAD ROADS
L. W. Page, the United States
good roads expert, has computed
the waste in dollars and cents
which annually results because
of the poor roads throughout the
country.
Mr. Page’s somewhat startling
figures place the excessive cost I
of hauling agricultural and simi
lar products over the roads
throughout the United States at
$250,000,000.
In arriving at these figures, he
has estimated that there must be
hauled over wagon roads every
year loads which aggregate 265,-
(KM).OOO tons, which is 30 per
cent, of the railway tonage of the
country.
The average haul from farm to
railroad station is 9.4 miles, and
the avreage cost is from 23 to
25 cents per mile.
Comparing this with the rate
for ocean transportation during
1905 and 1906, when the rate was
the highest ever known, and it is
found that it costs a farmer more
to haul wheat or cotton the 9.4
miles from his farm to the rail
miles than it does to ship the
wheat or cotton from New York
to Liverpool.
He makes a further comparison
of the cost here and in England,
France and Germany where the
cost averages ten cents per mile,
and in some eases falls as low as
seven cents, and the amount of
waste from bad roads becomes
still more impressive.
Though probably few people
have any idea of what the act
ual waste by reason of bad roads
amounts to, there are remaining
very few who are not fully ed
ucated to the necessity for a gen
eral betterment of roadways.
Any disagreement on the sub
ject would arise from a varying
viewpoint as to most advisable
methods for securing road im
provement.
Mr. Page offers the suggestion
that every state have its roads
surveyed, planned and supervised
by a State engineer, a method al
ready in practice in twenty-three
of the States, where salaries for
such engineers vary from $2,500
to SIO,OOO a year.
lie urges, with convincing ar
gument, that wagon roads should
be constructed with as much care
as would be necessary for a rail
road bod, grading being employed
wherever necessary to eliminate
the steep ascents and sharp de
clines, since these conditions as
much as the general impassabil
ity of the roads throughout the
year are responsible for the ex
cessive cost of wagon transporta
tion.
As it is no longer a question of
the advantage of good roads over
bad ones, it is not a question of
economy since the estimates prov<
that bad roads are much more ex
pensive than good ones would be.
The only thing which now re
mains to determine is what meht
ods of proceedure is best.
A BRIDE SPRAINS
HER ANKLE
While changing from one train
to another a few days ago a bride
wrenched her ankle very badly.
She was afraid she would be lame
for some time for the ankle pain
ed her and was swelling very rap
idly. One of her fellow passen
gers brought her a bottle of
Sloan’s Liniment. The Liniment
stopped the pain at once and took
down the swelling and next da}
her ankle was almost as strong
as ever.
Mr. L. Rolandßishop of Scran
ton, Pa., says:—“On the 7th of
this present month as I was leav
ing the building at noon for luncl
I slipped and fell, spraining my
wrist. I returned in the after
noon, and at four o’clock I could
not hold a pencil in my hand. I j
returned home at five o’clock and.
purchased a bottle of Sloan’s Lin j
intent and used it five or six time
before going to bed, and the next,
morning I was able to go to work :
and use my hand as usual. 1
thought sure I would be laid up. |
and as we are busy I was very
much worried. I cheerfully rec
ommend Sloan’s Liniment to all
persons who may injure them
selves in any way.”
