Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessensambition; beauty,
vigor and cheerful
ness soon disappear
when the kidneys are
out of order or dis
eased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
’ mon for a child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidneys. If the
<—'lSSu. l
childurinatestoooften, if the urine scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reachesan
age when it should lie able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet
ting, depend upon it, tbccause of thediffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these importantorgans. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

$56,500,000 PAID FOR
LIFE INSURANCE.
Thia is Amount Georgians Have Paid
in Premiums in Ten Years.
Atlanta, Ga. —Several measures af
fecting life insurance companies have
been introduced in the legislature,
and it is said some of them will
be opposed when they are taken
up by the house and senate commit
tees. There are certain laws looking
to the proper protection of policy
holders and of companies of which
the insurance interests will raise no
objection. There are others proposed
which they feel would be burdensome
both on the companies and on the
policy holders, should they be en
acted.
There is little doubt, however,
that the Georgia legislature will con
sider all these aspects of the ease in
connection with any proposed legis
lation which may come before it.
None of the other states, it is said,
have passed any unduly burdensome
legislation this year, and It is not
considered likely Georgia will prove
an exception to the rule.
Southern life insurance companies
arc making the home industry pleas
for business, and in this connection
are presenting some interesting fig
ures to show how much money we
send away from the state for the pay
ment of insurance premiums.
For Instance, one of them calls at
tention to the fact—and the figures
are obtained from the state comp
troller’s office —that during the ten
years from 1899 to 1909, Georgians
paid in life Insurance premiums
$56,570,541, and received back only
$21,733,016, making the excess of
the amount paid out over that re
ceived $34,875,525.
Attention is also (railed to the fact
that of twelve billion dollars of in
surance carried by all of the insur
ance companies in the United States,
the total carried by the twenty-two
leading southern companies is only
$198,362,199. The balance is In the
east, north and west.
Despite the drain upon the south’s
finances all of the Georgia companies
are apparently prosperous.
WANTS TO ABOLISH
PRISON COMMISSION.
Atlanta, Ga.—The first official step
looking to the abolition of the pris
on commission was taken in the
house of representatives Thursday
morning when Mr. White of Screven
Introduced a bill providing for the
creation of a board of control to su
persede the present commission.
The bill provides that the board
of control shall consist of the govern
or, who shall act as chairman; the
secretary of state, the attorney gen
eral and the commissioner of agri
culture'. The board shall have all
the authority now conferred upon
the prison commission in the grant
ing of pardons and the administra
tion of all affairs pertaining to the
management of the penitentiary sys
tem.
Tin* board of control is authorized
to elect a clerk who shall give his
entire time and attention to the du
ties of his office and receive in re
turn therefor the salary of SI,BOO
per year. The board is also author
ized to elect a supervisor of the pen
itentiary at a salary of $3,000 per
year. His duties shall be to superin
tend and manage the entire peniten
tiary system under the direction
of the board of control.
The election of a secretary of par
dons is also provided for and his
duties shall be to Investigate all sub
jects for clemency whether brought
to the attention of the board
by application or by suggestion of
the governor. The bill fixes his sal
ary at $2,000 per year, in addition
to the payment of his actual expen
ses in the discharge of the duties of
his office.
The bill provides that it shall be
come effective immediately after its
passage by both branches of the gen
eral assembly, and the clerk, super
intendent and secretary of pardons
are to hold their offices so long as it
is the will of the board of control.
The provisions of the bill are in
line with the recommendations made
by Governor Smith in his last mes
sage to the general assembly, in
which he urged that the prison
commission be abolished and a board
of control established in its stead.
Nashville will erect a monument in
honor of Edward Ward Carmack. The
site selected by the legislature is just
above the south entrance to the
State eapitol grounds. The memo
rial will cost $25.0000, the money to
be raised by subscription.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1909-
CROPS INJURED BY HEAVY RAINS I
Crop reports received at the de- !
partment of agriculture, following the
recent heavy rains have caused Com
missioner of Agriculture T. G. Hud
son to rate the present crop condi
tion at 60 per cent, as against 82
per cent the estimate given out a
month ago.
The continued rainfall is assigned
as the reason, and it is further stat
ed the cotton crop in Georgia, as a
result, will be curtailed from 500,000
to 600,000 bales.
In north Georgia the crop condi
tions, both for cotton and corn, are
given as exceedingly bad. In middle
Georgia they are some better, though
suffering, too, there from too much
rain, while in some parts of south
Georgia the grass has run away
with the cotton.
Only in extreme south Georgia
are the conditions given as fine. In
that section it is stated that the
crops are as good as ever grown in
Georgia.
In discussing the situation. Com
missioner Hudson said:
"In extreme south Georgia our
reports show that crop conditions
both for cotton and corn, are excel
lent. They have not had these ex
cessive rains and in consequence are
In good shape. In southwest Geor
gia the corn crop, too, is very fine,
but the rain has given grass a
good start in the growing crop of
cotton.
"In middle Georgia the rains have
so brought out the grass that many
cotton fields have been abandoned
on account of it. This section is
suffering badly.
“In the northwest section of the
state these .rains have been so hard
and so frequent that the planters
have not been able to plant their
corn, and a great deal of valley land
is lying idle in consequence. Cot
ton there is in the worst condition
ever known. Lots of it is unchopped
and altogether conditions are away
below normal. I would estimate the
crop conditions at 60 per cent as
against 82 per cent for a month or
six weeks ago. I had a friend who
travels the state a great, deal to
tell me that the Georgia cotton crop
was off from 500,000 to 600,000 bales
on account of this wet weather.”

In Jackson county, Illinois Reu
ben Porter has a very fine Jer
sey cow which recently failed in her
milk supply almost completely, and
the mystery was solved when the
Porter boys, on watch for a milk
■ thelf, were dumbfounded by seeing
a snake glide swiftly through the
grass, raise itself on its tai], and
calmly proceed to extract the fluid
from the almost bursting udder of
the cow. As soon as the boys could
recover sufficiently from their as
tonishment, they ran for their father,
who hurried to the scene, and af
ter viewing the evidence, condemned
the snake to immediate death. The
cow is now furnishing her usual sup
ply of good, rich milk.
The first apartment house in the
United States where tenants w-ith
out children will not be accepted
will be erected in St. Louis, in the
most exclusive part of town, adja

ilies with children are barred. The
new apartment will cost $400,000.
There will be no limit to the number
of children in a family. Every girl
born in the structure will earn a
month’s rent free for its parents,
and to the couple blessed with a
baby boy, a two-months’ receipt will
be given.
It is more than a year before the
state primaries will be held in
Texas, nevertheless the gubernato
rial campaign is already open and
humming. There are already eleven
candidates for governor in the field
with a number of other counties to

SOFT DRINKS IN THE SOUTH.
Subject of Systematic Investigation at
Hands of Government.
Cincinnatti, —What is said to be
the most sweeping and systematic in
vestigation of "soft drinks” sold in
the south since the prohibition wave
began sweeping tat territory has
been inaugurated here by government
chemists, who, from samples collect- ’
ed from many points in the south- ;
ern states, are to determine what|
per cent of alcohol is an ingredient
in these drinks and if coloring mat
ter is being used in them in vio
lation of the pure food law.
Hundreds of samples of drinks
have been collected and sent to the
local labratory. The work of mak
ing the analysis has just com
menced and experts have been en
gaged to assist the government chem
ists. About thirty-five kinds of soft
irinks such as are sold in the south
have already been examined. The
hemists in the labratory here have
a collection of cloths which they
claim to have dyed in southern
drinks. The cloths are said to be
dyed to a brilliant hue and this, it
is alleged, proves at once that arti
ficial coloring matter other than that
allowed by the government is used
in the manufacture of the drinks.
The government allows the use of
seven of 650 coal-tar dyes. These
seven include three reds, one orange
one blue, one yellow, and one green,
which are considered by the gov
ernment as being practically harm
less.
UNCLE SAM’S SWEET TOOTH
COSTS $1,000,000 A DAY.
When Uncle Sam’s grave statisti
cians announced recently that it re
quires an expenditure of $1,000,000 a
day to gratify that wonderful sweet
tooth of his, not only this country
but the world was amazed.
That great sum is the old gentle
man's daily sugar bill, however, and
the stasticians have figures to prove
it.
Like a hungry giant, this country
has, year by year, developed an in
creasing appetite for sugar and
sweets —for candy, for pastry and va
rious other saccharine delicacies —un-
til it now manages to consume in a
single year 7,080,667,975 pounds of
sugar.
These facts may appear sensational
to those who regard candy as a lux
ury, as one of the chief causes of the
increased use of sugar in this coun
try is the leaping popularity of can
dy. To satisfy the sweet tooth of
the nation candy manufacturers pro
duced last year just $100,000,000
worth of candy. Sold at a profit
of $30,000,0000, it cost the people
just $130,000,0000. The number of
pounds consumed was 667,000,0000.
$28,000,000 PAID FOR PULP.
Paper Industry of United States Is
Something Enormous
Two hundred and fifty-one pulp
mills in the United States used 3,-
346,106 cords of wood, and made
2,118,947 tons of pulp last year.
Spruce has always been the leading
pulp wood, and it furnished 64 per
cent, of the total quantity used. The
rapid development of the woodpulp
industry in the last ten years has
rendered the domestic supply of
spruce insufficient to meet the de
mands upon it, and consequently im
portations from Canada have been
heavy.
Next to spruce, the most import
ant pulp wood is hemlock; 569,-
173 cords of it were converted into
pulp last year. Poplar comes third.
The wood used by the pulp mills
last year cost them a little more
than $28,000,000, or an average of
$8.38 per cord, against an average
of $8.21 in 1907. The high price of
wood causes the manufacturers to be
constantly on the lookout for cheap
er raw material, and one of the most
encouraging developments has been
the increased use of slab wood and
other sawmill waste.
