WOMEN SUBJECT TO
KIDNEY TROUBLES
I beg to Ray that I have been a
constant sufferer with severe pains
in my back and was on the verge of
nervous prostration resulting from
kidney trouble and other complica
tlons. A friend of mine recommender.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root as a sure
cure for these troubles. Acting upon
her advice I began taking Swamp
Root and began to improve before i
had finished the first bottle. 1 con
tinned its use until I had taken f v
era! bottles and continued to improve
until I was completely cured. I am

REPLIES TO J. V.W.
Ralative to His Attitude on The
"School Book Commiss on.”
Editor Summerville News:
Dear Sir:
In a recent issue of your paper
there appeared an article over the
'Signature of .1. V. W. very harshly
and unjustly criticizing my position
and my conduct as a member of the
■Committee appointed by the Speaker
Os the House of Representatives to
I make an investigation as to cost of
editing and publishing school books
such as are now required to be used
by our State school Board in our
' common schools etc.
I am sure that you will allow me
space to make reply, and set myself
right before the public, and, per
haps, regain the friendship of J. V. I
j VV. who seems so wrought up over
.the matter.
From the reading of the article re-1
ferred to, one would suppose that
.1. V. W. was present at the meet
ing of the committee, and was stating i
| facts of his own knowledge. You
' will note, by reference to the J. V.
\V. article, he does not state that i
he had read from some paper or al
manac the charges he publishes,
I against me; but he boldly,
and without any explanation or pal-1
liation whatever, publishes his indict
ment against me, and proceeds to ’
lecture me just as though the state-1
I ments he made were absolutely true I
and he stood ready to swear to them.
I am surprised at J. V. VV. for doing
I such a thing, when he could have
| conferred with me by mail, or if nec
essary, I would have met him in Sum
, merville.
In the article he refers to me as
: "My friend, Joe Nunnally.” I trust
'that we are friends, I know of no!
■reason why wo should be otherwise; |
I but this is strange conduct of one
| friend toward another. And yet I
will not suffer myself to believe that
J. V. W. would wilfully make a false
statement with the Intention of doing
me, or anyone else an injustice. I
would rather conclude that .1. V. W.
was after a mild sensation and was
anxious to get into print with the
'story over his initials, J. V. VV. In
| his hurry, he just forgot to state
l that his article was all hearsay and
also neglected to give, his authority.
Very well, I shall excuse him tips
once if he will promise not to be
In such a hurry next time, ami will
give me a friendly hearing, before he
goes into print.
J. V. W. did manage to tell one
fact in his article, and that is “the
Committee did hold a meeting in
Atlanta” in the State school Super
intendent’s office, and organized by
electing Mr. Brittain, the State
School Superintendent, as Chairman,
Senator Foster, of Covington, as
Vice-Chairman, and the Stenographer
of the State School Superintendent
was elected stenographer and secre
tary of the Committee.
At this juncture it was suggest
ed that We adopt some method of
procedure whereby we could get the
desired testimony before the Com
mittee, upon which the Committee
could base a report of facts to the
General Assembly ; then Mr. McCrory,
who is a member of the Committee,
land the author of the resolution’
creating the Committee, arose and in
ju very nervqus and excited manner.
I because he is of a very nervous j
tempement, and means well no
doubt, but he allows his enthusiasm
'to dethrone his reason and destroj
I his judgement, stated to the Com
' mitteo that he had already secured
some testimony that he desired to
i submit to the Committee, and i’m
' mediately proceeded to produce
book after book naming it and giving
i the cost of its editing and publish
Ing. and making a speech vpon the,
quality and character of earh book,
hind then stated that the gooks were,
| published and used in Ontario Can
ada. Being very anxious to get at:
the real facts in the case, and in or
der that one record may not be load
ed down with matter we could not
vouch for: I asked for the inform
ation of the Committe how the gen-'
' tieman knew the cost of each book
.he had presented. He replied that
the prices are printed in each book.
This of course was some encourage
ment,. I then asked v. ivther the gov
ernm<nt edited and published the
books, and if so by what method the
government was enabled to furnish
them so cheaply. He replied that he
did not know. I then asked If he
knew whether the govern men; fur
nished the books at less than cost
was paying for the <aim> book. 1
formation. He replied that he had
been told so, and that he had re
ceived a letter from a party in

SEVERE RROGjmAL GOUGH
Doctors Feared Lung Trouble,
Restored to Health by VinoL
The medical profession does not be
lieve that lung troubles are Inherited,
but a person may inherit a weakness
or tendency to them.
Mrs. Kate Heckman, Springfield,
Ohio, says: "A few years ago I was
in a very bad r in-down condition, and
the physician told me I had consump
tion. I tried another physician, and
he told me I had ulcers on my right
lung. I quit the physicians and
started on ‘V.'toL’ Today I• am
perfectly healthy, and that Is why I
recommend ‘Vinol’.”
Vinol soothes and heals the inflam
ed surfaces and allays the cough,
Vinol creates an appetite, strengthens
the digestive organs and gives the
patient strength to throw off in
cipient pulmonary diseases.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.
P. S.—For any skin trouble try our
Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.
; Summerville Drug Co., Summerville,
Kansas stating this fact. I asked if
Ihe knew the party and whether the
| information was authentic and such
is tlie committee could rely upon as
I evidence. He replied he did not
!know: but that he could show to
this committee that a certain book
that is being furnished to Georgia at
one dollar is being furnished by the
■ same concern to another State at
, fifty cents, that he did not have the
proof with him but could get it. It
looked as though we would consume
the whole day and accomplish noth
ing so I made the motion that the
evidence offered by Mr. McCrory
should remain before the Committee
and be treated as evidence when we
could obtain authentic information
' that it is true. This motion car
ried unanimously. While the com
mittee is anxous to obtain all facts
possible upon which it can base its
report it does not wish to stultify
itself by reporting something it
could not substantiate. I then mov
ed that a committee be appointed
consisting of the Chairman, Vive-
Chairman and Mr. McCrory who
should be authorized and required to
communicate with the proper author
ities of every State in the Union, al
so with Toronto Canada or any
other plaace that they may desire or
may be requested by any member of
the Committee, and to secure evid
ence witli the offl< ’al signatiifl- /
such ,-iiithoritties as to the cost <g'
editing and publishing their several
school books, and if possible secure
copies of such books, and the Cum
mitteo shall have the further po*er
and authority to summon any wit
ness in Georgia, and compel his at
tendance, and require him to produce
any book or docucent he may have
in his possession or control, and
take his sworn testimony as to any
matter that ' ill aid the committe in
arriving at the cost of editing and
publishing our school books. This
motion also carried unanimous"'.
Someone then moved that hereaf
ter all of our meetings be in execu
tive session. This created some
discussion pro and con. I offered as
|a substitute that all our investiga-
I tlons of evidence whether document-
I try or in the examination of witnes
ses, and all arguments shall be open
to the public, and that after we have
I completed our investigations that
i we go into executive' session so that
; > r deliberations will not be inter
j mpted and will be free from all out
| side influence. This motion also
I carried without a dissenting vote.
The committee then adjourned
subject to the cal! of the Chairman.

was obstructing an honest investiga

'cause censure and reproach from his

duty. I was simply endeavoring to
get matters in some - systematic
shape whereby we could make prog
ress and not cumber the record with
stuff that could not be vouched for.
I was only endeavoring to get an
honest investigation and secure facts
only to submit to the General As
sembly that an intelligent action
may be taken by that body at the
proper time. I am heartily in favor
of this movement, and am anxious
to see the price of school books re
duced. I believe there is a plan by
which it can be accomplished and
my purpose is to find that plan if
possible.
If such a plan is practicable I am
in favor of the State owning and op
erating her own printing plant, and
not only edit and publish her school
books but her laws, Court reports,
bulletins and all other documents
now required to be published, manu
facture and furnish all the records
for the officers of the several Coun
ties of the State and do all other
printing for the Counties. I believe
there would be enough saved by
this plan to justify the State in mak
ing school books almost free, to be
distributed under proper restrictions. I
I am not a fanatic, but I am in earn
est when I say this project deserves
consideration.
In conclusion I desire to say that,
I represent no book concern nor
publishing company in any capacity
whatever, nor have I any interest in i
any such concern or company direct
ly or indirectly, but represent only:
the interest of the people of Geor- j
gia in this investigation, and I in-:
tend to the best of my ability to per
form honestly every act required of i
me as a members of the investigat
ing Committee, but I shall never ’
consent for the Committee to stultify
itself -by making a report to the
General Assembly that cannot be
substantiated by authentic evidence.
Should I do so I would betray the
trust reposed in me and would de
serve the condemnation of the peo
ple I represent for practicing such
a deceit upon them.
Very truly,
W. J. NUNNALLY.
BIG COTTON CROP
BY USE OF DYNAMITE.
Atlanta, Oct. 28.—“ Blow up the
whole state of Georgia with dyna
mite next spring, and in the fall we
will have the biggest cotton crop in
history,’’ is the advice of Atlantians
who have just returned from study
ing agricultural conditions in the
Middle West. f t
The idea has taken hold here, and
it is expected that the plan of using
dynamite instead of the plow will
be tried quite extensively next sea
son. The idea is not altogether new
in Georgia, as it has been tried at
least once by no less a person than
ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown, on
his Cherokee county farm.
Last spring Governor Brown ex
perimented with two acres, side by
side, one of which was plowed deep
and harrowed in the usual way,
while the other was first dynamited
and then harrowed. The dynamited
acre yielded nearly three times as
much as the other, though planted
in the same way and with the same
seed.
The method of dynamiting land
has been reduced to an exact scien
ce. Charges are set ten feet apart to |
a depth of about 24 inches, using'
one-third of a stick to each charge.
All the charges are fired with a bat
tery at one shot. This is done when '
the ground is very dry, and after-1
ward it is harrowed thoroughly.
STATE TAX REFORMS
ARE IN PROSPECT.
Atlanta, Oct. 28. —If Judge John C.'
Hart, Georgia’s first state tax com-;
missioner, succeeds in putting the
tax reforms through that he hopes
to bring about, by means of county;
boards of equalization, Georgia will'
be able to pay all her current in
debtedness and reduce her tax rates'
within the next couple of years, ac-|
cording to figures just made public.;
Judge Hart has made investiga
tions in fourteen counties which he;
declares show that only about one-|
seventh ot the taxable valuations ini
Gt orgia are returned for taxation.
He says many people fail entirely to
turn in such invisible property as
stocks, bonds and mortgages. He |
cites one case of a man worth $150.-
000 who pays taxes on only SI,OOO.
Judge Hart says it is such as this
that has nearly bankrupted thei
treasury of a rich state, and that
neither crop conditions nor anything
else can be blamed for it. It is not
Judge Hart's intention to increase,
the burden of those who are already I
paying their just share of the taxes.!
In truth, their burden will eventu
ally be lightened by the equalization, j

ANY a winter day of back breaking
'lraly «i labor has the average farmer spent
stooping over the old buck saw,
zr -r-P> ~r-r-ping its way through
tough wood for the kitchen stove
supply. But the wise ones don’t do it now.
They have a handy engine to run the saw, while
they rest and plan for next summer’s work.
That engine is about the busiest and most
convenient machine the wise man has on his
farm. It pumps water for him, runs the sepa
rator, washing machine, feed grinder, corn U
shelier, and grindstone. Often it runs a hay f
press, ensilage cutter, small thresher, or a
repair shop. The year round it drudges for
him, saving the man’s strength for more prof
itable things. And the wisest man has an i

because it does most for him at least cost. Its
simplicity renders it almost trouble-proof. Its
construction makes it easy to start and to oper

ccessary it will deliver 10 to 30 per cent above
