Backache is only simple thing at

But when you know it's from the

That serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabetes, Bright's disease may

J. NJ. oliver, wagon painter, with
shop on Cotton avenue and Jefferson

the outskirts of Americus, has used
Doan's Kidney Pills and states his
opinion of them as follows: He says.
''They are fine remedy. I used
them for back ache and can recon-
mend them very highly. They did for
me what everything else failed to do.
They drove the backache out of my
back and relieved me of a misery from
which / had been suffering for long
time. The trouble was constant
heavy ache right across the small of
my back, and a disorder of the kid
neys. The secrations were in bad
condition, being dark, and full of
sediment and irregular. Medicines
for internal use failed to help me and
so did liniments. ] read of how
others had been cured by Doan's Kid
ney Pills, and deciding to try them
got box. Since taking them the pain
has left my back, the kidneys are
working normally, the secretions are
in a natural condition aud fell bet

EFFORT TO FORCE DANIEL
Vrgnian is Urged to Permit Use of Name for
Presidency
THIS SITUATION PLACES HIM IN DILEMMA
Was Ardent Supporter of Bryan Free Silver Basis and Likewise for the
FOrIOrn t1Ope.-PaTker.

Washington, June 4.-SenatOr John
w. Daniel of Virginia, is today suffer
ing very greatly from the expressions
of his doubtless devoted, but unwise
friends.
Senator Daniel has always been
straight out and out democrat. He has
never failed to support the democratic
ticket. In the turbulent days of 1906
he fought for the ticket of that year.
He was chairman of the national con-
vention at that time, and next to the
speech then made by Mr.. Bryan his
was the most eloquent one in behalf of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1. He supportC d
Mr.. Bryan in 1900 and he supported
Judge Parker, the hopeless candidate
of 1904.
Today Senator Daniels being embar-
rassed by the continual demand that
he himself should become a candidate
for the presidency. That he is qualified
for that nomination no one can ques-
ton. After many years in public life
he remains poor man against whom
the word of criticism has never been
raised. Yet he is unfortunate in his
friends. He has been applauded by
Thomas F. Ryan, and that applause
will hurt him. He has been strenuous
ly approved by one Paul Morton, and
the approval of Morton, of the Equi-
table Life Assurance company, will not
aid. Harper's Weekly, which repre-
sents the views of Pierpont Morgan,
warmly approves Senator Daniel. In
brief man who in himself stands for a
fine type of democracy, which if not
progressive, is at least honorable, is
being pushed to the front by every in
f1uence which is undemocratic, which is
not progressive but reactionary, and
which is in fact plutocratic.

The South and the Presidency.

This is the general opinion of we'll
informed people in Washington or
politicians who visit the capital. They
look upon the Daniel talk as very
largely that of limited number of
capitalist who are in hopes of defeating
A +. Bryan's own candidacy, and who
have picked Daniel as the best man to
be pushed to the front. And yet all of
these men believe that Senator Daniel
will not be party to such combina-
ton.
That it is possible that some south
ern may may be nominated is accepted
here as truth. Indeed, Mr.. Bryan him
self has not expressed his opinion that
it might not be well worth the while
to consider Southern man.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-06-05

right to attempt to enforce it upon the
next national convention. He is not
warmly in favor of, nor bitterly opposed
to, the issue of direct legislation. Upon
that he has a right to reserve his
judgment, and to attempt to emphasize
it, wheh fixed, in the next national
platform of his party.
No one would grieve more than Mr..
Bryan or Mr.. Bryan's friends if such a
man as Senator Daniel should be made
to believe that he were outside the dem
ocratic party. No one would be more
ready than Mr.. Bryan or his friends to
support Senator Daniel if at the next
national convention he should be nomi-
mated. Senator Daniel has fought long
and we'll tor the democracy and de-
serves well of it. He comes from a
state which is always democratic and
which has earned the name of the
Mother of Presidents. If the needs of
the democratic party should put him
to the front no loyal democrat would
fail to give his support.
But Mr.. Daniel himself does not be-
lieve that this need is either present or
likely to arise. In conversation he re-
Gently said, 81 do not believe that the
time is yet ripe for the nomination
a man who wore the gray in the war.
While do disagree with Mr.. Bryan on
the question of the government owner
ship of railroads, believe that he is
the strongest candidate who could be
nominated, and I have not any doubt
that the Virginia delegation will be for
him.

The Iniu stice to Daniel.

No one will suffer so much from this
situation as Senator Daniel himself.
A man of the highest integrity, man
who stands for democratic principles,
he finds himself now being made the
cats paw of utterly undemocratic pow
ers. He admits that he has not yet
come to the point of accepting some of
the suggestions made to the democratic
party by Mr.. Bryan. He is openly
and avowedly an opponent to the gov
ernment ownership of railroads. His
position on this is fair, and he has

and carried more people than there are

SAYS LAYMEN
SHIRK THEIR DUTIES

THE Ordained Diaconate" was the
topic of the address given by Rev.
Robert ]. Burdette yesterday morning
at the Baptist ministers conference at
the First Baptist church.
Rev. Mr. Burdette took the position
that ministers did many duties that
should be performed by the laymen
which prevented them from devoting
their time chiefly to the preparation
and delivery of their sermons and
which time they should have for those
purposes without interruption. He
maintained that the morning hours of
the pastor should be unbroken and
that during those hours he should not
be accessible to the public.
Rev. Mr. Burdette took occasion to say
that upon sending letters of inquiry to
many prominent ministers asking how
their time was occupied, the answers
were that they fulfilled many duties
that should have been performed by the
laymen of their churches.
Next Monday morning at the First
Baptist church at 1890 o'clock there
will be a special conference, when four
missionary specialists who are visiting
the city will make addresses. The
meetings are open to the public.
