The Chattanooga News Speaks In CompIi-
mentery Terms of Him.
The following Is taken from the
Chattanooga News:
"Mr A. c. Floyd, who has for nearly
hve years been editor in chief of The
Chattanooga News, yesterday severed
his connection with this paper lie goes
to Columbia, Tenn, where he has phos-
phate property and other interests
which will occupy the principal part of
his time. But he will continue to be
An occasional contributor To these col
umns.
"During his stay here Mr.. Floyd has
made many warm friends in Chatta-
nooga, VINO much regret his departure
Those who have known him best have
most admired him for his manly quali-
ties, honesty, steadfast integrity and
fearless championship of whatever his
conscience approved.
During his connection with The
News and the editorial direction of its
columns, he has successfully piloted IL to
victory in every cause that IL has cham
piOned, not single defeat having been
registered, and during which time the
paper has made wonderful strides in
quality and influence. He has always
taken active interest in the public af.
talrs OF Chattanooga, espe cially in the
Spring Festivals, which he has largely
helped on to success.
"Some OF the victories for democracy
to which The News has largely contrib.
uted under his direction that NAV be
mentioned are the election to congress
of Hon. John A. Moon by the largest
majority attained by any member of
that congress, when The News was the
only daily in the district supporting the
straight democratic ticket, the election
of Mayor Watkins by a majority of
1000 votes
Until he resigned two years ago, Mr..
Floyd was the secretary of the Scotch
Irish Society of America, of which the
late Robert Bonner, of New York, was
president He was editor of the Knox
vile sentinel for more than year
prior to his connection with The News,
and during which time the kid Coun-
Gil" was dOwned and the Knoxville,
Cumberland Gap Il Louisville railroad
debt removed from Knoxville.
"ln his new enterprise his many
Chattanooga friends wall doubtless join
The New in wishing him that measure
of prosperity that his merits so richly
deserve"

"Have by some surgeon, ShylOck, on
thy charge to stop his wounds lest he
do bleed to death" People can bleed to
death. The loss of blood weakens the
body. 1t must follow that gain of blood
gives the body strength. The strength
ening effect of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is in large part due to its
action on the blood making glands and
the increased supply of pure, rich blood
it produces. tits only when the blood is
impoverished and impure that disease
finds a soil in which to root. The Dis
covery purities the blood and makes it
antagonistic to disease. When the body
is emaciated, the lungs are weak, and
there is obstinate lingering cough, Gold
en- Medical Discovery puts the body on
a fighting footing against disease, and
so increases the vitality that disease is
thrown off, and physical health perfect
