FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27.
SUMMERVILLE DECIDES TO GOME
INTO THE CITY BT S BIG VOTE
Majority? In Favor of Annexa
tion Was 102. Almost a Two
to Majority For the An
nexationists.
Summerville and Augusta took a
decided stride into the future when
the official majority for annexation
was announced at 5 o’clock Thursday,
as 102.
The total number of votes cast was
364. The total registration was 399,
nine negro voters having been dis
qualified on the eve of the election.
Two hundred and thirty-three of the
384 voted to become annexed. A total
of 131 votes were cast against an
Uneeda Biscuit
never disappoint!
You have never
heard anyone say—
“"The Uneeda Biscuit
in that last package
were not as good as
usual,”
You have never said
it yourself
It is one thing to
make soda crackers
that are occasionally
good.
It is quite another
thing to make them
so that they are not
only always better
than all other soda
crackers, but always
of unvarying good
ness.
The name “Uneeda”
on every
one of them—means
that if a million
packages of Uneeda
Biscuit were placed
before you, you
could choose any
one of them, con
fident that every
soda cracker in that
package would be
as good as the best
Uneeda Biscuit ever
baked.

nexation.
The polls were opened at 10:30
o'clock city time. A large number
were on hand before time and the
line at the opening was a long one.
Until the congestion was relieved the
voting progressed at four a minute.
From tlie opening the majority looked
like a two-to-one affair, and so it
continued until the close.
Except for the unofficial checking
of partisan voters it was impossible
to tell what the exact majority would
be. From the opening, until the
close, the majority was far ahead for
annexation. At 11:30 o’clock 130
votes had been cast, and the anti peo
ple conceded 90 of that number for
annexation.
The election attracted the atten-
tion of Augusta people as well as
those of Summerville. From time to
time during the day prominent busi
ness men of Augusta and councilmen
of the city dropped in to ascertain the
result of the election.
Practically every vote that the an
nexation party had counted on was
polled. The majority was larger than
was first looked for.
Immediately after the official an
nouncement of the majority, a meet
ing of the council, presided over by
the i’ntendant, was held to ratify the
election.
Under a special act of the general
assembly of Georgia, Summerville,
with a majority v6te of the qualified
voters of the village, becomes the
sixth ward of the city of Augusta
January Ist, 1912. She is to have
tliree councilmen in that body, one of
whom will he Hon. Alfred Cuthbert,
the present intendant, whose term of
office extends over three years. The
remaining two are selected by the
commissioners of the village from
their body or the village at large for a
term of two and one years, respect
ively.
With the territory which Augusta
gains by the election Thursday, she
springs from a city of 41,041 inhabi
tants, to one of 47,786, and holds by a
large margin the place of third larg
est city in the state.

the French people better acquainted
with the United States, especially
with the South and West. Fifteen
chapters have appeared In Be Temps.

He has chapters also upon the states
of California, Arizona and Texas.
Baron d’Estournelles looks upon
the Americans, what sort of folk they
are and what they are doing, through
the eyes of a Frenchman with plenty
of amusing incident and keen criti
cism but without an unkind word.
Since Prince Victor Napoleon and
Princess of Belgium were married
last year the Bonapartlst party has
been unusually active. The princess
has taken an intense personal interest
in the party’s plans and is willing to
use a large part of her fortune. a
committee works mysteriously in
France spreading Bonapartlst "feel

of parliament. A fund has been
started which It is designed shall
amount to $20,000,000 to finance the
movement.
The French government has given
ittle heed to the conspiracy except to
keep informed. No objection has been
made to the Belgian government on
account of the meetings that are held
in the residence of Prince and
Princess Victor Napoleon at Brus

DYSPEPSIA PROOF
How Any Meal Can Be Thoroughly En
joyed by Any Stomach.
Costs You Nothing to Try Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets.-
Men, as a rule, are first discovered
by their enemies. Their antagonists
turn on the searchlight, and the proof
of merit will lie in being able to stand
the flash.
It was only in this way that Mr.
White ever knew that dyspepsia was
one of Mr. Black’s worst enemies. Sit
ting face to face at a tw'o-by four
table, he handed his afflicted friend
the bill of fare:
Oyster Cocktail. Stuffed Olives.
Boston Clam Chowder.
Strained Gumbo.
Sirloin Steak with Mushrooms.
Boiled Ox Tongue with Sauerkraut.
Lobster a la Newburg.
Baked Pork and Beans.
Combination Crab Salad.
Hot Mince Pie.
Pineapple Fritters.
Mr. White ordered a “little of each.’’
Mr. Dyspepsia Black ordered crackers
and a glass of milk. “I had such a
big breakfast this morning,” he said,
“that I’ll just take a bite to keep
you company.” But Mr. White could
not be deceived: “I am afraid you
can’t stand the gleam, Mr. Black. Why
don’t you say you have dyspepsia and
be don ( . with it? You’ll always have
that hungry look anyhow as long as
you have dyspepsia. Now listen. My
stomach was in just as bad condition
as yours at one time. But now I can
eat anything, at any time. For instance,
this clam chowder or sirloin steak or
even the lobster would be just as wel
come to my stomach as your cracke v s
and milk. You don’t realize how this
dyspepsia business is robbing you of
your spirit, of your energy and ability
to think quickly. I can’t help notice
It. You haven’t the cheer and so
ciability you had three months ago
Now I’ll tell you what to do,” and
thereat the cheerful Mr. White took a
vial from his pocket and extracted a
woe tablet. “There, thero is a tablet
that contains an ingredient, one grain
of which digests 3,000 grains of food.
For even the worst dyspeptic It’s the
only thing that really gives relief
The reason is it relieves the stomach
of nearly all the work it has to do,
digests everything in the stomach and
stimulates the gastric juice. I can’t
get along without them. They arc
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. You can
get them anywhere on earth for 50c
a package.”
Yes, it is true, Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets absolutely stop heartburn,
nausea, indigestion, dyspepsia of the
worst type, sour stomach, bloaty feel
ing and all eructations and irritation,
and freshen and invigorate the stom
ach. They cheer you up, and make
you get the good there is in your
food. You will forget you ever had
a stomach to worry you.

day and we will at once send you by
mail a sample package free. Address

Tried in Augusta, It Has Stood the
Test.
The hardest teat is the test of time,
and Doan's Kidney Pills have stood it
well in Augusta. Kidney sufferers
can hardly ask for stronger proof than
the following:
Mrs. M. Crawford, 843 Twelfth Bt„
Augusta, Ga., says: "X was afflicted
with kidney trouble for several years
and although I doctored arid tried sev
eral remedies I was not helped. My
back ached nearly all the time and X
was so lame that I could hardly get
about the house. The kidney secre
tions were unnatural and caused me
annoyance. Reading about Doan’s
Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at
Howard's Drug Store and in a few
days after beginning their use I felt
better. The backache soon disappear
ed and my kidneys were restored to
a normal condition.”
The above statement was given
April 7, 1908 arid on April 10, 1911,
