It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their origin in the disorder of these important organs.
 The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work.
 Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or "feel badly" begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kill mer's Swamp Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone.
 Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re- sponsible for many kinds of diseases. and If permitted to continue much suffering with fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irrltates the nerves makes you dizzy, restiess. sleepless and irri-. table MakesN you pass water often dur-s ing the day and oblises you to get up many times during the night.

Macon, Ca, May 14.-In the United

gia Saw Mill VS.. The Southern Freight
Association and the several railroads COM
posing the same, additional affidavits we're
submitted by the defendants ]. NJ. Culp
Fourth Vice President OF the Southern
Railroad Company, in charge Of the traffic
department, submitted an exhaustive
statement He reiterated in emphatic
terms that the Southern Railway Com
pany formulated its own rates and that its
freight tariff policy was no way controll-
ed by the Southeastern Freight Associa-
ton. He also presented figures to show
that despite the great gain in the gross
earnings of the Southern Railroad, its net
earnings were not as large as they should
be, owing to the low freight tariff and the
increased cost of operation adm the increase
in the price OF everything required for
standard maintenance S. +. Parrott
chairman of the Sou ..leastern Freight As
sociation submitted a supplemental aft
davit, in which he stated that the associa-
tion does not AK the rates, but complies
and puts into circulation the declared tar
iff promulgated by the several roads, that
the association was organized to do work
for all the roads forming it, tnat to be
more economical performed by a central
bureau than by the roads separately He
stated that the association performed work
at cost of $4,000 per annum, that it
would cost the roads not less than $3.50, 900
per annum if done by them individually
He closed his statement with the declara-
ton that he was simply an administrative
officer, and that he promulgated freight
traffic which might be adopted by all Of
the members Of the association or only a
part of them. He called particular atten-
tion to the latter proposition, to show that
there was no combine, or concert of action,

HISS FAvORs CURTAIIM MERT.
He Would Haye the Mills Run Only Half Tim'
Just Now.

Charlotte, n. c., May 14-One Of the
most important features of today's session
of the Cotton Spinners' Association was the
statement made by President Hiss, that he
favored curtailment in order to cope with
the professional manipulators of the cotton
market. Mr.. Hiss stated that his idea was
for the mills to run one week and stop
the next In other words the mills would
run only half time during the fiighty con-
dition of the market.
1t is a well known fact that cotton man
ufacturers cannot pay the present prices
for cotton and continue to sell yarns. or in
fact any of their products at the pre-
vailing prices This condition of affairs
Mr.. Hiss says, is squarely up to the cot
ton spinners, and it is a condition that
must be met.
Another important suggestion made by
Mr.. Hiss was that ..Ie associa ton change
its name from the Southern Cotton Spin
ners' Association to the American Cotton
Manufacturers Association. 1t is general
" believed that this change viii be made
at the present meeting.
The seventh annual session of the conven.
ton was called to order at 1890 O'Clock
this morning by President Hiss Prayer
was offered by DR.. Detwiler of the Metho-
dist church, after which c. 3. Bryant, sec
retary and treasurer Of the association
presented the body with gavel made oi
wood from the first cotton mill built in
the South. This was the Bolton mill, built
in 1912 in Georgia.
The address of welcome was delivered by
T. c. Guthrie, of the Charlotte bar, and
the response was by w. G. Heath, one OF
the board OF governors of the association
These were followed by the annual ad
dress by President Hiss. A paper read by
General W. F. Draper on Development
Of Rapidly Running or Yielding Bearing
Spindles,' was literally applauded. Hon
Edward Atkinson was the next speaker

''Is not probable that these manipulators
have an unfavorable bearing on prohts OF
the manufacturers in this country using
American-grown cotton.
Except in a few special fabrics, the
price the manipulators has fixed for cot
ton today is out of all proportion to the
price the manufacturer can realize for his
product. Is there not remedy for tins
situation? If the cotton manufactures
could arrange to buy his years supply
of raw stock by making his purchase dur
ing the period covered from September
to December i OF each year, (as is largely
the case without foreign competition there
would be but slight opportunity for the
manipulation to juggle profit out of the
few hundred thousand bales not taken up
by these purchases.

When the Saint Oswald Took
Them From the Drifting
Wreck.
(By the Associated Press.)

Norfolk. Va. May 1.-THE British
steamship, Saint Oswald, from Mobile for
Norfolk. arrived here today with the
crew of the shipwrecked British brigan-
tine Bertha Gray from Jacksonville to st.
kits Island of Martinique. For nearly
week Captain Richards and the men
aboard the English sailing craft were
tossed about at the mercy of wind and
waves. The vessels rigging was gone and
the hull waterlogged. Salt water pouring
III between the decks quickly spoiled their
food and rendered their supply of fresh
water useless. Weary with many hours
of pumping, almost overcome with hun
ger and heartsick at the dreary prospect
of ever coming through with their bitter
experience alive, the Nova Scotian
mariners had about abandoned all hope
of safety when the st. Oswald hove in
sight and responded to their signals of
distress.
The rescue of the shipwrecked sailors
was a thrilling one in the extreme and
was attended by great risks on the part
of the crew of the steamship.
The waves were running mountain high
and the wind still blowing a gale when a
lifeboat was lowered from the ST. Oswalds
davits. The boat made two trips from
the wreck to the steamer. Three men
were taken off first and four on the Sec
ond trip.
The crew OF the Bertha Gray are: Cap
tain Richards, Mate Baalch, Steward Por-
ter, J. Mallett, H. Rice, j. Carroll and r.
Rasmussen, all of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia,
the home port of the ill-fated brigantine
British Vice Consul Myers has taken
charge of the men and viii care for them
until they can be transported to Can
ada.
The crew of the Bertha Gray, accom-
panied by Captain Tindale, of st. Oswald,
called at the British Vice Consul Myers
office shortly after the arrival OF the
English ship at Lambert's Point. Mr.
Myers will provide them with food, cloth
ing and lodging until he can effect ar,
rangements for their transfer to Nora
Scotia.

fRv the Associated Press /,

Charlotte, N. c., May 14.-In his an
nual address to the Southern Cotton Spin
ners' Association, which met here today
President George B. Hiss gave it as his
opinion that cotton market "manipulators
exercised an unfavorable influence on the
producer and manufacturer. Mr.. Hiss
said in part:
During the past two years manufac-
turers using American-gr grown cotton have
failed to secure proper margin of profit,
and it has been during these last two
years that cotton 'manipulators have
held their greatest sway. 1t is estimated
that between S0OOo.0OO and 100000 600
bales of cotton are bought and sold an
nually in this country while we actually
