ONE OF TWO WAYS

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is notliable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause Of bladder trOub-
les. 50 the womb, like the bladder, was
created COR enc purpose, and if not doc
tOred too much is not liable to wea kness
or disease, except in rare cases. 1t is
situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pam, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as east,
lY avoided, To find out correctly set
your urine aside for twenty-four hours ;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR.. Gilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder rem.

He Was Most Remarkab BILE M ember of a
Family of Georgia idiots.
MILLEDGEvILLE, Oct. 28.-Joseph
Busby of he luuatic asylum died on the
26 inst. Everyone who has ever visit
that institution was acquainted with Joe,
and his fame extends throughout the
whole United States. Busby, as he w S
famiharly known, was a harmless idiot
and had been an inmate of the asylum
since 1858. He was So years old wien
he died and cOnse6 uently had been there
since IA years of age. He was one of
four children, all idiots and all dwarfs.
The other three died some time ago.
They were Benjamin Busby, entered
asylum 1853; Thomas Busby, entered
asylum 1853; Mary Busby, entered asy-
lum 1865.
Joe was the most remarkable one of
the four, being 80 inches high. He was
the pet of the whole institution and was
a ways brought out to entertain visitors.
On big occasions he wore full dress
military coat with plenty of brass but
tons. Joe was very fond Of music and
at the weekly dances was always a prom
inent figure and could cut the "pigeor
wing and few other steps and would
always keep perfect time to the music.
Joe thought there was no one on earth
! like Dr. Powell, the superintendent.
DR.. Powell was very kind to him and
petted Kim great deal, and like every
me else regrets his departure from this
| life.
Although an idiot he never forgot the
appearance of the Federal soldiers at the
asylum when Sherman's army marched
through Georgia. Ever since then he
has made it daily practice t. "shoot a
Yankee" Oy thrusting the point of a pm
against his nose, exclaimeng: Shot a

How to Make Your Town Prosper.


OF course every citizen Of this town
wants to see it prosper Some Of
them don't seem to understand the
best way to do il. One way is to al
low yourself to be gulled by the slick
advertisements of somebody in Gin
cinnati or New York into believing
that you can get things cent or two
cheaper there. Then send your mon
ely away off where it may never, by
any possibility get back here again.
1t helps town so,p beautifully to have
a merchant or two fail once in a while,
or to have our stores standing empty
while we help build up other places.
Another good way to help our town is
to persistently decry all attempts to
do anything here, aud to declare that
we are not going to do anything We
have a right to run it down ourselves,
and it helps SO.
Then, whenever there is an excur-
sion and low fares go to some neigh
boring town and be be gulled into buy
ing all the goods you can bring home
and come home and advertise the mer-
chants in that other town. Proclaim
from the housetops that you can buy
goods ever so much cheaper of them
than you can get them at home
Don't pay any attention to the fact
that these men pay no taxes in our
town, that they spend no money, here,
that the low prices they give are ouly
bait for trade that they would not
otherwise get. Don't pay any atten-
ton to the other fact that in order to
save few cents you had to spend a
dollar or so for railroad fare and lose
days time Those matters are OF
no account. You got some things
two cents cheaper than you could
have bought them of home mer-
chant. OF course you paid cash on the
nail and you always expect the home
merchant to trust you till it is per
fectly convenient for you to pay, but
that's no matter. Give the foreign
merchant lots of free advertising and
make it all the harder for your home
merchant to compete with him. And
then curse everybody in business in
our town because they don't do better.
If that course persevered i'll doesn't
make your town prosper it is no
wonder, and you are not likely to do
anything that will promote its pros
perity.

efforts of the Republican party.
Therefore the action of few disap-
pointed office-seekers, among the vet
Grams, in attempting to smirch the
character of Senator Elkins, Congress-
man Dayton, Thomas F.. Davis and
others, better men in every particular
than those who traduce them--better
soldiers--comes with poor grace

Cleveland, who hired a man to do his
fighting, and got what they voted for
for once. They got relief where the
chicken got the AKIN the neck.

Protective Features of "section az

Protective Features of "Section az
DR.. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., in the Oc-
tober Forum, says:
The man who framed and put the
finishing touches upon the Tariff Act
of July "a, 1897, managed to express
in one short section almost as much
true Americanism as is to be found in
all the other sections of the Act COM
bined. Section ~ expresses not only
exigent requirements of the present
day, but it voices the faith and cour-
age of the men who shaped the des-
TIMES OF this country. 1t at once sets
up an effectual barrier against the ag-
gression of the politico- commercial
Government of Canada upon Ameri-
can interests, and corrects an eyre
gious error of "free-tradism" which
has crept into our relations OF mari
time reciprocity.
In the following reprint of Section
20, that which is old is shown in Ro-
man type, and that which is new, in
italics. So much of former repres-
sive legislation as has been eliminated
is included IN brackets
"Section 22 That a discriminate
ing duty of ten per centum ad valo-
rem, in addition to the duties imposed
by law, shall be levied, collected, and
paid on all goods, wares, or merchan-
else which shall be imported in yes
sells not of the United States, or z0hick,
being tie b1oaacfioa or manufacture OF
any foreign country not contiguous 10
tie GRited States, shall come into tie
Gnftea States from such contiguous
e00Ht1J,. but this discriminating duty
shall not apply to goods, wares, or
merchandise which shall be imported
in vessels not of the United States,
entitled at tie time Of such Importation
by treaty or c0R0eRti0R [of any Act Of
Congress to be entered in the ports of
the United States on payment OF the
same duties as shall then be payable on
goods, wares, and merchandise i'm
ported in vessels OF the United States,
Nor to sant foreign products or manu-
Jacta1es as shall be imported from su1h
contiguous countries IN ne usual coai,Se
Of St1iaT retail trade.
A careful examination of this com
prehensive piece Of legislation clearly
exposes the fact that it is logically
articulated, that it involves no com
plication Of construction, and that
upon its face the intent of the legis-
lator is so clear that its meaning is
beyond question.
This section embodies Senator FL
kins's idea of discriminating duties
and he is entitled to the credit be-
slowed. While imperative by reason
of the decision of the Attorney. Cen
dral, it is expected that Congress will
provide for its enforcement and give
to our merchant marine that protec-
ton which was bestowed by the foun-
ders of the GOVernment.-ED. HER
