Giving up entirely his business, he
went to Cincinnati and remained for
several months under treatment of a
celebrated specialist. He was after
wards treated in Elnira, New York,
where the cancer was twice removed,
but he declares that death was prefer
able to such treatment 1t returned,
however, and the disease seemed to be
of a most virulent type; the doctors af-
forded absolutely no relief, the cancer
spreading all the time, eating out en-
tire1y the partition in the nose, as well
as the upper lip and gums.
Some months ago" he says, 81 be-
gan to use S. S. s., though I admit with
little faith that it could cure me, but to
my surprise, a few bottles afforded
some relief. Thus encouraged, | de-
termined to give the medicine q thor
ough trial, and it was not long before
the progress of the disease seemed
checked. / continued the medicine,
and remarkable as it may seem, am
cured and feel like ! have new life. l
can tA1k more distinctly, for the flesh
has begun to grow back around my
teeth, where it has been literally eaten
away. S. S. S. is the most wonderful
remedy in the world, and as my condi-
ton is pretty generally known, every
body will agree that the cure is indeed
a most remarkable one. S. S. S. has
given me new hold on life, and
shall certainly sing its praises the re-
mainder of my days"
The above is but one of many re-
markable cures being daily made by
S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm
ingly prevalent, and manifests itself
IN such a variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal UP and
disappear, may we'll be regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any
address, full accounts of several other
cures fully as remarkable as this one.
For real blood troubles, S. S. S. has
no equal. It wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases of blood diseases,
which other remedies do not seem to
touch. 5. s. S. gets at the root of the
disease, and forces it out permanently.
5. 5. >. is guaranteed purely vegeta

cure for Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism and all traces of bad
blood. Our valuable books will be

His
Lip Gone!

There is not a more familiar figure
on the streets of Atlanta than the man
whose picture is here shown. Every
body knows him by sight and it will be
remembered that years ago he began
to wear on his upper lip, just under
his nose, small piece of court p1as-
ter, not larger than a silver half dime;
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size,
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as d silver dollar. This man is
M. M. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran SITS.
1t was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed tiny scale, like a piece of
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought it only fever blister, but it
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. Itrapid1y increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr..
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious.

AlDAKGER0US BILL.

We notice that bill has been intro
duced in the legislature, says the Tai
bottom News, providing that the judges OF
the superior court shall have control of
the public printing in the several coun-
ties If their circuits and shall name the
official organ in the same.
At the meeting of the Georgia Press
Association in Gainesville last summer
this bill was presented by committee
from that body for the endorsement of
the association. The opposition to it
was so overwhelming that it was willis
drawn. Hence, we say that the press OF
the state is opposed to the bill. Senator
Long and Representative Johnson OF
Hall county were present at the press
meeting and know that the bill met with
overwhelming opposition.
Every county is able to take care of Its
local affairs, and the bill is a reflection
on county officials. Besides this, our
Judges should be removed further from
politics instead of being entangled by
such power. 1t is no reflection on
those who are hey ond such influences to
say that this power might be used as a
lever to lift them from the bench to
higher positions. All men are human
and our judiciary has already lost, to a
great degree, that unbounded confidence
of the public which it should command
and would enjoy but for the politics,
rings, combines, etc., that hang as a mill
stone about the neck of the system. Be-
sides this, those judges themselves who
would not use the power for persona lends
would greatly prefer for the county
officials of each county to control their
own local affairs. Why not put the let
ting of contracts for bridges, etc., for the
various counties into the hands of the
Judges? Why not 60 further and give
them control of the pauper fund and all
other matters that relate to the duties of
county commissioners and other local
officials. This would be as reasonable
and less hurtful than the thing sought to
be done by this BILL Suppose the official
organs of counties should oppose the
candidacy of presiding Judge for some
other ofice-what would be the result?
Their heads would come off at one stroke
and these papers would be crippled-for
what? Not for ineficiency or failure to
discharge we'll their duty as an official
organ, but simply because they would
not be whipped into supporting the can
didate.
Again, wei say the bill is unwise. 1t
tends to Capitalization of lower; it takes
from county officials work which justly
belongs to them and which they can dis
charge better than any judge. The
weekly Press Association would not en-
dorse or recommend its passage, and we
hope the committee will give it a place
among bills that rest peacefully in death

AN UNUSUAL MARRIAGE.

Love at First Sight Between Shellman
Gentleman and an Alabama Lady.
The Fort Gaines Sentinel tells of
marriage somewhat out of the usual
order that took place at the depot in
that city. 1t was the union of Mr.. John
West, of Shellman, to Mrs. Ellen Parker,
of Alabama. Both parties were of mid
die age, widower and widow, and had
never seen each other until the day
before their marriage, the match having
been brought about by mutual friends.
Rev. w. 0. Crumbley performed the
ceremoney, and the couple shortly after.

UNCLE SAM is in it, too. A press dis

demanded that adequate protection be

the same time warning, in the name OF
the United States, that Turkey would be
held responsible if even hair upon the

A SINGLE VOTE.
The Prominent Part It Has Played In
United States History.

The Prominent Part It Has Played In
United States History.
Outlines the result of q presidential
election has hinged on the vote of n single
state. For example, New York turned the
scale in 1914 1S4S, $780, 1854 and 1888.
If Colorado, which the Democrats had cx-
pocted TO carry, had remained in the terri
torial stage year longer, the Democrats
would have elected the president in 1876.
Suppose just one Of those 73 electors who
declared for both Jefferson and Burr in
1901 had cast for somebody else the vote he
gave to Jcffersonl There would have been
no tic in that event, the house of repre-
sentatives would not have been called upon
to make the choice, and Burr would have
been elected The thought of the narrow
ness of the margin by which the country
was saved from the infliction of having
Burr in the presidency gives chilly feel
ing TO Americans even today. One vote
transferred from the 10 negatives to the 80
alternatives in tho presidential impcach-
mcnt case Of 1868 would have given the
latter tho constitutional two-thirtls re-
quircd for conviction, and johnson would
have been removed.
Facts like these show that tho popular
estimates of the first of the numerals need
rcadjustmcnt. Marcus Morton, chosen in
1880 by majority of only single vote in
total poll of over 100, 600, was just as
fully and rs truly governor of Massachu-
sets during his term rs Grover Cleveland,
with his plurality of 1872, S54 gained in
1882, was governor of New York during
1888 and 1854.
The tariff of 1916, an act which has
filled a more conspicuous place in political
discussion than any other measure In its
field, possibly excepting the Morrill, tariff of
1861, was saved by the casting vote of Vice
President Dallas. In many crises tho pres
encc or absence of this needed one vote has
made or marrcd the fortunes of statesmen,
policies or parties. York Sun.
