 Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re- sponsible for more sickness and suffering than any other disease. and If permitted to continue much sufferings with fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves. makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable; makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheu- matlsm, gravel, catarh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints or muscles; makes your head and back ache. causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get sallow, yellow com

Swamp-Root Is PursIy vsgstabls
14 East 1scth st., New York city.


 Dear sirs:--'T had been suffering se- verely from kidney trouble. All symp4. toms were on hand; my former strength and power had left me: T. could hardly drag myself along. Even my mental ca pacity was giving out, and often I wished to die. It was then I saw an advertise ment of yours in e. New York paper, but would not have paid any attention to 1t, had it not promised sworn guarantes with every bottle of your medicine, as- serting that your Swamp-Root is purely vegetable. and does not contain any harnn- full drugs. l am seventy years and four months old. and with good conscience I can recommend Swamp-Root to all suf- ferers from Kidney trouble. Four mena- bers of my family have been using Swamp-Root for four different kidney diseases, with the same good results" With many thanks to you, remain,
 Very truly yours,
 Oct 18th, 1909. ROBERT BERNER. No matter how many doctors you may have tried-no matter how. much money you may have spent on other medicines. you really owe 1t to yourself to at least give Swamp-Root a trial. Its stanchesz friends today are those who had almost given up hope of ever becoming well again.

An Appeal.

We hope that no member of the Ala bama U. D. O., failed to read the pro- ceedings of the Executive Board meeting, held on the 18th instt and published by the Secretary, Mrs. Ross, in these col umns last Sunday. The action taken up- on the appeal from the Kennesaw Chap ter at Marietta to assist in placing head stones over the graves of the Alabama soldiers buried there was no doubt grat- flying to every Daughter of our Di- vision. In the discussion, as to ways and l means for raising the required amount ! to place the stones at the head of the | 269 Alabama soldiers, S67 .25. pne member made an impressive talk upon the advis- ability of requesting each Chapter to | pay to the cause, s2, as was done to raise | funds for the presentation of the Emma Sansom picture to the Department of Ar.
 chiVes and History, thus we will have
 accomplished each year some definite
 work in the most noble cause. This sug | gestion. or motion, was most favorablN
 accepted, and the President was requested | to make one more urgent appeal anS request all contributions for this caus | to be sent to the President, to be for | warded. as the amounts come in, to Mrs
 R. l., Nesbitt, of Marietta The Chap
 ters will be given credit for the amounts contributed from time to time. We hop,
 before the May Convention. that the Ala
 bama Division will have contributed tn,
 full amount of s67.25.

SPECIAL COTTON CROP REPORT
Bradstreet's Says That the Crop i. NJ
Bigger, if as Big, as Last Year,

4S6IR
New York, Oct. 31.-This vaa,,,
cotton crop is estimated to be no lon
ger than, if it equals, that of Last
year, which was 1O,723OOO bales, a..
cording to a special report issued IT,
day by Bradstreets. The repor+
which is based on special inouirv
made by Bradstreets' correspondents
throughout the South, says:
To the main leading question as to
the probable yield this year as COM
pared with last, the unanimity of the
opinion pointing to a yield below
that of 1902 is notable. Two States
Alabama and Louisiana, report
probable increase in production. Tex
as shows much diversity of opinion.
the net result being a crop about
equal to last year, while the other
States report decreases, most nota-
bly, in South Carolina, Mississippi
and Tennessee, with smaller reduc-
tions in North Carolina, Georgia, Ar
kansas and Florida. T~hree-fourths
of the questions point to the belief
that no top crop worth mentioning
will be gathered, but the answers to
the question of the grading of the
staple show it to be better as a whole
than last year. Although general
consensus of opinion is that the crop
will be smaller than a year ago, it is
pointed out that the higher price
ruling, the advance on last year be-
ing 1 to IA cents, makes the crop,
potentially as valuable in a money
way, as a year ago. Making all al
lowances for under-estimation, the
reports, as a whole, point to a yield
in bales no larger, if indeed, it quite
equals, that of last year, which saw
a commercial crop of 10,722,000 bales
marketed.

THE APPROACHING SESSION OF CON-
GREss.
The President has issued a proc
Iamation calling upon the members
of the Fifty-eighth Congress to meet
in extra session on November 9, to
enact legislation which will make
effective the reciprocity treaty signed
with Cuba last December. 1t is the
first meeting of this Congress and
many new faces will be een in the
| House and Senate. Of the ninety
members of the Senate, ffty-seven
will be Republican, thirty-seven
Democrat; and twelve will serve for
the first time, not counting the ten
days extra session of the Senate last
| spring; in the House there will be
POS Republicans, 178 Democrats, and
118 members who have not served
| before. The minority forces in the
| Senate will be led by MI. German,
whose actions will be watched the
more closely as he is regarded as a
probable candidate of the Democrats
in the coming Presidential campaign.
He will endeavor to organize the
Democrats thoroughly and to force
from the Republican Senators dam
aging admissions of the administra-
TONS mismanagement of national
affairs. The personal enmity which
has arisen between the Maryland
Senator and President Roosevelt will
make the party contest in the Sen
ate all the more interesting. The
House will be for the first time under
the leadership of Speaker Cannon
and some changes in the rules are
expected. Many Republicans have
become dissatisfied with the iror
rules which were adopted during the
speakerships of Reed and Henderson
and they will probably join Represen
tative Hepburn, of Iowa, in his at
tempts to emancipate the House from
the absolute domination of tn,
Speaker and his small Committee OF
Rules. Mr. Hepburn's plan is t.
