chased from my druggist three 50-cent

am once more at my work and but for
inns excellent medicine l should be on my
back. take great pleasure in writing
TINS letter because so many people are
sufferers from this trouble who like my
seI1 dld not know where to look for a
permanent, reliable safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
IN the past three years has demonstrated
TO the medical profession, as well as to
thousands of sufferers from piles, that it
Is the safest and most effectual cure ever
oftered to the public containing no opiates

Nenleht to handle, and being sold by drug
glsts at 30 cents and 81 per box, is within
the reach of every sufferer.
very frequently two or three boxes have
made a complete cure of chronic cases
that had not yielded to other remedies for
years.
There is scarcely a disease more aggra-
Vatlng and obstinate TO cure than the va
rlous forms of piles and it is a common
practice to use ointments, salves and 81
mllar preparations containing dangerous
polsons 10 remove the trouble. The Py-
ramld has superseded all of these ineffect-
uaI remedies and no one suffering with
any rectal trouble make any mistake in
giving the Paramid trial
III in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co.,
Albion, Mich, for valuable little book
on piles, describing all forms of the dis
ease and describing the method of cure.
ANY druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure as it is the best known and most
popular remedy for piles and if you ask
him he can doubtless refer you to many
people in your vicinity who have been
cured completely by it,

AFFAIRS IN FITZGERALD.
Registration for County Seat Elect
iona Musical Treat.

iona Musical Treat.
Fitzgerald, Ga, Sept. A.-Yesterday and
Wednesday the registration books of the
county were open at the colony offices, and
the officials in charge of the work put
in two days of hard work, and as a re-
suit 952 votes were registered in this
district Every day things seem to be
getting into better shape than ever for the
removal of the county seat to this point,
and many votes have been made for it
in the last few days. Unless something
unexpected happens the vote in favor of
Fitzgerald will be overwhelming.
On Wednesday evening Mrs. Tebeau, as
sisted by number of young ladies, gave
a gypsy girl concert, which was very pref
ty and well received. Last night, assisted
by a number of talented young people,
she gave an excellent musical programme
to a much better house than that of the
previous evening. The comet solo by MIR.
Ed. Butcher was very difficult and well
rendered, and merited the hearty encore
it received.
Miss Ola Bidwelrs piano solo, violin solo,
and Evolutionary work were all fine, and
it was difficult to tell in which of these
she best pleased her audience.
Mrs. Ruth Scott Marco of Cordele, de-
lighted the audience with her singing and
physical culture posing, ana MRS. Ie-
beaus performance on the musical glasses
was unique and much enjoyed.
The quartette, composed of Mesdames
Tebeau and Paulk, DR.. Stalker and Her
bert Graves, sang remarkably well, and
showed much careful training. The en-
tertainment, as a whole, was one of
which all music lovers may be proud The
gypsy girl concert will be repeated Mon
day night and will, no doubt, attract a
large crowd.
The new hotel at Ocilla has been for
mally opened and is under the manage
ment of Prof. and Mrs. Clifford GFubbs.
The flremen give a grand ball tonight,
and the proceeds will be used to purchase
new uniforms for the men.
Preparations are being made to have a
rousing time at the big colony picnic on
Tuesday of next week, Mr.. Fitzgerald
will arrive tomorrow or next day and
remain for that event, and win take pleas
ure in meeting all colony people and
southern friends at that time.
During the past two days nearly all the
business men dropped everything else and
made it a point TO see that every voter
was registered, and for several hours
nothing else could be heard on the streets
but the query: Have you registered?"
A few ladies who had voted in northern
states were heard inquiring where the
registrars office was.
Cotton continues to come in at a lively
rate, and agents are all through the coun-
try to secure il.

the StOrm-Thc strike Broken.
Brunswick. Ca, Sept. 2L-Country resi-
dents to-day brought tales of disaster to
live stock by the cold winds and rains
of Tuesday. The sudden drop in temporal
ture and continuous rainfall for hours
combined to chill and freeze the life out
of human beings and dumb brutes.
James T. Dent, a prominent rice planter
at Hofwyl lost twenty-five head of half
breed Jersey cattle: o. c. Beasley lost
thirty-one head of hogs; Thomas w. Lamb
lost two head of cattle. while from Freed
mans Rest, a negro settlement in the up
per portion of Glynn, two mules and one
negro are reported victims of the elements.
To-day's report only covers part of Glynn
county. 1t is evident from them that other
portions suffered.
The joint penitentiary committee passed
through Brunswick to-day, en- route to
Sapelo Island. They will reach that spot
tomorrow. Hon. Thomas b. Fielder Of
Fulton received a telegram at Darien.
calling him back to Atlanta on important
busiess.
Contractor Herbert Tate, who built
Brunswick's sewerage system, is expect
ed here tomorrow. He will probably be
accompanied by New York's street COM
missioner George T.. Waring 1t Is ru-
mored that official complaint against
Brunswick's system has been made, which
calls these experts here. The system
works perfectly, but piping has been
breaking too often to suit the taxpayers.
Brunswick paid OUT an enormous sum for
her system, but there are repeated evil
denees of defective piping. But little pub
licity has been given this fact to date
but the trouble has happened about once
too often, and is occasioning discomfort
among the people.
The backbone of Brunswiclxs strike has
been broken by the determined attitude Of
the steamship men, The Mallory line
workers, who originated the strike, are
returning to work and the stevedores have
more men now than they can use At
other docks the strikers are returning In
punches of twos and three. BY Monday
the normal state of affairs will be re-
Sumed.

Sealing Envelopes by the Thousand

The treasury department is to-day Civ
ing a trial to new machine for sealing
envelopes. The treasurers Office to-day
had 1900 interest checks to send out, and
1t was in the sealing of the envelopes for
these that the machine was given a trial.
If the machine proves a success, it may be
put into regular use throughout the de-
partments.
The machine is not complicated. 1t
works something like a printing press.
The envelopes are fed into rollers, one of
which is moistened from a small trough of
water through which 1t revolves. A small
folder closes the envelope, which then
passes through two other rollers and IS
pressed, falling into a receptacle. The ma
chine is run by a small dynamo or by a
pedal, like a sewing machine. 1t is claim
ed that the machine will seal $50 envelopes
minute when the operator becomes ex-
pert.
