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, Dr. Kilmer ft Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this gen erous offer in this paper. Don’t make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, and don’t let a dealer sell you something in place of Swamp-Root— 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.

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' sue of each individual pension' THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1909. V I “SEE THE SIGN” When you come to CHATTANOOGA, 13 E.

AND FRESH SUPPLIES Mail orders Solicited 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. \Ve often wonder how any person can be persuaded into taking anything but Foley’s Honey and Tar for coughs, colds and lung trouble.

X-A-- Lai lou Haw Alwrs I 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.
