The Columbus Enquirer Suu
does nt t like Gov. Candler’s
appointment of Hon. Ed Bievui
for special attorney for the State
road, to succeed Attorney M i»-

\Vimbish when we say ht is act
a better lawyer than Mr. Brown.
Gov. Candler’s appointment is
first-classjn every respect and
Mr. Brown’s administration of
the affairs of his office will so
demonstrate. It will be remem
bered that the Columbus En
quirer-Sun was bitterly opposed
to the nomination of Governor
Candler —though M necogee

the rugged old man from Hall.

f eeding the Fire.
The most powerful engine must stop if
the fires are not fed. Man is the most won
derful piece of machinery in the world, yes
no matter how strong and well-made his
bodily frame may be, if the fire of life
within him is not constantly fed his limbs
and niascleß become powerless and useless.
The reason men become helpless and
diseased is because the food they eat,
which is the fuel of life, is not properly
digested and appropriated by the stomach
and nutritive organs. It is not completely
transformed into the strength and wogkiug
power w hit?h is to mau what steam is to
the engine.
That wonderful power-making “ Golden
Medical Discovery.” invented by Dr. R V.
Fierce, chief consulting physician of the
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo. N. ¥,, imbues- the human diges
tive juices and blood making glands with
capacity to extract abundant noutishmeut
from the food. It builds up organic tissue,
nerve fiber, hard muscular flesh and work
ing force. It gives a man steam .
What it did for Mr, F. ft Hughes, of Junction.
Hunterdon Co.. M. J., is given in bis own words
He writes: I received your kind letter, and
in reply would say that mine was a bad case of
kidney and liver trouble, and that six bottles of
Dr Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery and four
bottlesof little * Pellets ’ effected a complete cure.
It is well known that almost every engineer is
troubled more or less with kidney trouble esueci
