COST VICE PRESIDENT
OF SEAB0ARD AIR LINE.
Number of other Promotions to Fol-

Number of other Promotions to Fol-
low His, 1t Is RumOred.
Mr.. Edward F. Cost, traffic manager
of the Seaboard Air Line, has been
elected second vice president of the
system. He will continue to perform
the duties of his former position, how
ever, until his successor has been chos-
en- in that place.
1t is rumored that this is but the
first of a number of changes that will
be made among the officials of the
line; that Mr.. Charles r. Capps, the
general freight agent, will be promot-
ed to be freight traffic manager, and
Mr.. Charles b. Ryan, general passen-
ger agent, will be promoted to be
passenger traffic manager. This, of
course, will mean a number of promo
tions all along the line.
The place of second vice president
of the Seaboard Air Line was formerly
held by Mr.. Middendorff of Baltimore,
who, however, declined a reelection
to it at the time the recent changes
in the management of the system were
made.
Mr.. Cost has been with the Seaboard
little more than a year, but in that
time has made an excellent record
for himself, and it is due to this show
ing that his recent promotion is at
tributable. He has been in Savannah
a number of times on short visits in
connection with the business of his de-
partment.

OUR KIND OF
POLITICAL WISDOM.

From the Waynesboro True Citizen.
One of the tricks of the small politi-
clans is to wait until the incumbent is
at the capital at the sessions work
then take the field against him and
when he has no chance to defend his
course. This is the mode down South.
Up in yankeedom the people are wise
enough to protect an intelligent con-
gresham from these wiles, and by this
means keep their able men in office.
Thus they have the advantage always
on the floors of Congress in the expe-
rience of their wisest and best equipped
congressman. 1t is notably the case
in New England, and we have seen for
forty years this advantage inure to
the prosperity of the New England
states at our expense. IT a congress
man keeps his place he must stay at
home the best part OF his time while
his work is needed, to watch the other
fellow who is hungry for the incum-
bent's shoes. This mode of procedure
is the prime cause of the South's not
holding her place in Congress equal to
the New Englanders, and many other
of the Northern states.
The Washington Post has this to
say on the same subject:
1.-THE people of the West and South
should not overlook or pass unnoticed
the statement made by Senator George
G.. Vest. that New England has domi-
mated the politics and legislation of the
republic. Senator Vest does not make
statements lightly. He is not given to
exaggeration. He is not a word dealer
or phrase coiner. He means what he
says, and always has the proof to sub
stantiate his statements. The condi-
ton has existed. and every student Of
public affairs knows it. Senator Vest
graphically stated the fact. He casual
ly told the reason. They keep their
men here. was the statement the voters
of the Central West should remember,
Senator Vest is closing an illustrious
career. He is not a candidate for re-
election. He can speak without being

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Has it ever been your unhappy lot
to be told by your physician that you
must go to hospital and submit to
an operation? If so, you remember
with what dread and shrinking you
awaited the day when you must
endure the knife.
The present day surgeon appears to
be possessed by mania for operating
especially in cases of hemorrhoids or
piles and while the greater number
of the profession do not recommend
this last resort" unless they honestly
believe it necessary, the fact remains
that much needless operating is done,
and the patient put to much expense
and suffering for what?
To obtain a possible temporary relief;
these words are used advisedly, because
in inc cases out of ten the affection
returns and the patient is just where
he started from.
Oftentimes he could be cured much
more simply and easily by the use of
such a remedy as the Pyramid Pile
Cure; this has come to be recognized as
painful disease named. and the drug
gists now sell more of it than all other
pile remedies combined.
The writer personally knows people
who were afflicted with worst form of
bleeding and protruding piles and who
were permanently cured by the use
of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one
of these cases the attending physician
had assured the sufferer that only by
an operation could he rid himself of
the disease; so much for the infalli-
bility of the doctors.
This remedy, which is sold by all
druggists at the low price of fifty cents
is in suprository form, is applied
directly to the parts affected, and
performs its work quietly and pain
lessly. The Pyramid Drug Co., Marsh

orrhoids, their cause and cure.
A suggestion is offered that if the
reader is afflicted or knows anyone
who is, this book be sent for, as it will
be found invaluable.
