Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-05-14
Prominent Fitzgerald Man
Interviewed IN Michigan,

We clip the following from the
Adrain, Michigan Telegram.
1t will be read with interest by
those who know DR.. Stewart and
his pecan nursery in this colony:
DIR. Homer L. Stewart, of
Ocean Springs, Miss, was an
Adrian visitor Friday and a
pleasant caller on the editor of
The Telegram. DR.. Stewart
was one of the gentlemen instru-
menta4 in having the editor of
this paper locate in Adrian, and
after watching the progress of
the business for sixteen years, is
kind enough not only to say that
he is not sorry but feels the
success of the paper has demon
strated the wisdom of his efforts
combined with those of others.
DIR. Stewart was born and
grew up in Tecumseh and
vicinity, and practiced dentistry
there for many years, or until
his long years in the close con-
finement of an Office compelled
MIN to take up some outdoor
calling. Then he bought a
plade a short distance from
Tecumseh and against the ad-
vice of experienced farmers be-
gan the culture of celery. The
first three years were exper-
mental and he lost money each
year. But by interchangeable indus
try study and hustle, he invent
ed methods of culture and i'm
plements for handing the bust
ness that made a success and
in fact that brought his product
to the fore front of the market,
commanding the highest market
price from the leading hotels of
the east for several years. He
wrote a book on the growth of
celery and explained the making
of the implements necessary to
it's cultivation, and his methods
have been adopted from Michigan
to California, wherever celery is
successfully grown. In fact his
success, both as to size and
quality of the output, as we'll as
financially, was so marked that he
became noted in celery circles as
the celery king, just as Elmer D.
Smith, of this city, is known as
the chrysanthemum king.
About thirteen years ago DIR.
Stewart went south on account

of the rigors of this climate and
has since engaged in the develop
ment of the pecan industry,
under the name of the Stewart
Pecan Co. In this business, he
has secured big start with the
product that brings fancy prices
in the markets and with 40 acres
of trees, soon to be all bearing,
part bearing now, and a nursery
selling to growers, he has BUSH
ness established that bids far to
lead anything ever undertaken in
the celery line. The doctor is an
enthusiast in anything he under
takes and The Telegram believ-
es that his outlook is something
of which any man may feel proud.
The doctor is taking a much
needed rest and will visit in
Tecumseh for some time"

Summer Excursions
To the Seashore,

RAJ lroads make money and the
public gets exceptional advan-
tages at a nominal price in the
modern seashore excursion.
Last season the Seaboard' s
weekly excursion to Savannah
gave many weary toi1er an OPP
portunity to see old ocean and
roll in the surf at a price that the
common people could afford.
But the schedule to be inaugu-
rated by the A. & B. about June
1st, will give the people of this
section the best opportunity that
has ever been offered to go to the
seashore. The trains will leave
here at $50 in the morning and
returning leave Brunswick about
6. p. M, giving six or seven hour
on st. Simons beach, all for So 90.
We predict that this will be-
come the most popular excursion
of this or any other season
and as it will run weekly
throughout the summer, a large
number of people will take
advantage of it.
The train that will start from
here about $50 will be met at
Bushnell by train from Irwin
vile and Ocilla.

A ConVsr alton with a Climax.
When a Professional Man Talks, It's
to the Point.

Several famous American physicians
and surgeons were recently dining togeth.
er after a session of a national meeting
held in New York.

remarked a surgeon present, whose name
as a specialist in rectal diseases is world
wide. MY patient Was a women. a deli
cate. nerye-racked creature, who had SUI
fered so fearfully from the ravages of
hemorrhoids, that the knife seemed the
only solution of the trouble, and yet her
heart was weak and her strength SO
wasted by this fearful disease, that we
dared not operate.
II had ceased nv visits to her for Il
time and had given up all hope, when one
morning she entered my Office looking like
4 new woman; the pallor had disappeared
and the lines of suffering were nearly
eradieated from her face. She told me
she had bought at drug store for fifty
cents proprietary medicine in SUPPOSE

had obtained instant relief from the first
insertion. / made an examination and
found the rectum in excellent condition.
the Inflammation entirely disappeared and
the swollen veins in normal condition.
i was so interested in the case that 1
had the remedy analysed carefully and
was SO pleased with the result of the
analysis, finding a combination of the
most healing and scientific remedies in
the Pyramid Pile Cure and in a more
convenient form than could secure them
otherwise, that 1 wrote to the Pyramid
Drug Company at Marshall, Mich, asking
for their booklet on Piles, their Nature
Cause and Cure. (Which by the way is

A safe rule to remember is: When

This will soothe your quivering nerves.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain

Brooklyn E; gle.
Japan and Russia are on the verge of
war. Hostilities may be averted at the
eleventh hour, but the attitude of Russia
Is not conciliatory and Japan feels that
she can concede nothing further. If peace
is to be preserved the good work must be
done by Russia with a promptitude not
now foreshadowed by the vigor VITA
which she is hurrying ships and men to
the scene of trouble. That a conflict be-
tween the two powers is inevitable some
time in the near future is admitted by
nearly every writer who has studied the
situation-our own civil war was not more
irrepressible. Russia is firmly established
in Manchuria and protestations from st.
Petersburg to the contrary and treaties

standing. she intends to remain there. She
would Russify Corea as completely as
she has Russified Manchuria, were it not
for the fact that Japan regards the Land
of the Morning Calm as a country where
Japanese influence must be paramount in
order that the japanese empire may be
assured of a dominating position In the
politics of Northeastern Asia.
Japan has proclaimed sort of Monroe
Doctrine over the whole Korean penin-

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
STOP WORK.
The Point Whore the Kidneys Cease
to Do Their Duty Properly Is tho
Beginning Of Bright's Disease.
This Stage of the Disease Leaves
the Victim Only Fighting
Chance for Life.

When the liver becomes torpid It
throws upon the kidneys extra work in
keeping the body free from impurities.
This extra work they will perform for a
time without serious disturbance, for
they are tough organs, but at last the
strain becomes too heavy, they are
weakened and disordered, and unless
the liver is promptly stimulated they
break down and the more serious trouble
begins. When this stage is reached the
valuable liver regulating and kidney
Strengthening properties of Prickly Ash
Bitters are badly needed. 1t is safe to
say that no one would ever die of Bright's
Disease if he would apply this remedy
at this critical time. Unfortunately,
however, the kidneys do not at first
manifest any decided symptoms. The
victim is conscious that something is
wrong, but fails to apply remedy for
it, so he struggles on until the disease
some day prostrates him completely,
meanwhile the deadly work of destruc-
ton goes on steadily in his vital organs.
The kidneys being weakened and pow
erless are no longer able to extract the
urea and uric acid from the blood, SO it
goes back into the system and gradually
decays changing to uric acid poison
which extends its malignant influence
to every part of the body. The albumen
which should nourish the system passes
unarrested through the liver and kidneys
and escapes with the urine, so the pa
TENTS strength fails for want of food.
At this point the disease takes on a
decided character, dropsy sets in and
the signs of uraemic poisoning rapidly
appear. The importance of checking
the ravages of the disease at the earliest
possible moment cannot be over-esti-
mated. When the trouble is confined to
the liver it is bad enough, but when the
kidneys break down it at once becomes
a life and death struggle with the GER
tainty that death will win the race unless
nature is helped in its effort to restore
health. The prudent and best course is
to resort to the use of Prickly Ash Bitters
on the first signs of disorder in the liver.
Warning symptoms are plentiful and
are first noticed when the stomach fails
to digest food properly. The victim be-
comes bilious, languid, constipated and
suffers from indigestion, headache, dig
illness, foul breath and fatu1ence. A
few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters will
drive out the bilious impurities
strengthen and revive the torpid liver
cleanse and regulate the bowels and
impart feeling of strength, vigor and
cheerfulness.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure in red on the front label.
