This thing of running to the North Tor fn- vestments in behalf of coaa mine or a cotton factory is all very well. re- toice in such investments. But the rich est latent capacities Of our state are In little children of our plain people. If we can get our public enthusiasm to work in behalf of investments which will touch this noblest element in our raw material" then. indeed. we shall have reason to find our pride not only in our past, but an our. future.
 All this Is admirably said by one of the members of the Southern Education Board. Mr.. Walter H. Page. Editor of The Worlds Work. Says Mir. Page: Southern States-particularly in rural communitfes-are of the best English and Scotch stock, and they are as capable as the children of our race in any part of the world. They will not contribute their share to the industrial and intel lecthal and social wealth of the nation, unless they are trained. The negro chill dren, too, who are pathettca1ly eager to learn, can be saved from a low level of
 inefficient 'iifd In no other way. We hear much about Southern natural re- sources and Southern industrial devei- but there is more potential wealth in the mtrasned hands and minds of the forgotten masses than in all the forests and mines and wells and rivers in every Southern State" Education, as the pri- mary policy of the South, thus presents not only an opportunity and a duty; 1t presents policy of fnvestment-wtse and sacred and secure.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the kidneys; if 1t stains the linen 1t is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it. or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
 WHAT TO DO.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed that Dr. Kilmers Swamp Root, the great kidney and bladder rem edy, fulfills every wish in curing rheuma- tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing 1t. or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer. and Overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up maRy times during the night. The mild and ex- traordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in fifty cent and one-doliar sizes
 You may have a sample bottle of Swamp Root and book that tells more about it. both sent absolutely free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bing- hampton, N. Y. When writing mention that you read this generous offer in The Montgomery Advertiser.
