GENERAL TAX ACI SPECIAL ORDER
For Monday, While Inquiry Into Own
erShip of the Central Railway
viii Be Made By the
Assembly.

ATLANTA, August 3.-After brief
session lasting but an hour and q
half, the House this morning took
a recess until Monday. Nothing OF
interest in the way of legislation
new or old, was considered today.
The general tax act has been as
signed as the special order for Mon
day and will be disposed of.
AS already announced, the inyes-
tigation into the real ownership of
the Central of Georgia Railway will
be made on Monday unless plans as
now arranged miscarry.
Some interesting developments are
expected as the result of the rail-
road investigation.
Governor Smith, as already an
nounced will sign the Hardman pro-
hibition bill Monday morning. Not
until this measure is finally in the
sidetrack is it expected that other
matters will be taken up.
The General Assembly has but
twelve days more, and a great deal
must be done in that time.

BISHOP SEES PERIL IN
PLANS OF POLITICIANS
Claiming Pay in VOTING for
Bill
SOUNDS WARNING TO THE PEOPLE
SCheming Politicians, Bishop Gambler
Says, viii Seek Office as Re-
ward for Supporting Pro-
hibitiOn.
SOUNDS WARNING TO THE PEOPLE

Bishop W. A. Gambler, in a letter
written last week from Texarkana,
where he was then upon visit,
sounds a word of warning to the peo-
pie of Georgia at the attitude of de-
signing politicians whom, he says,
will demand Office as the price of
their votes for prohibition.
The Times-Recorder herewith
gives the Bishops letter in full:
Il have a word for my fellow pro-
hibitiOnists of Georgia in closing this
letter. Comrades in our churches we
have built up this cause In our
church papers we have defended it,
in our pulpits we have preached
against the saloon, and in our pray
ers we have made supplication for
the overthrow of the monster liquor
traffic. We are in sight of victory.
By the time these lines are read
by you, the Georgia Legislature will
have adopted a State prohibition
law Now will come a time of peril
Politicians will claim the victory,
and seek office as reward for SER
vices rendered by them. Give no
heed to such pleas. No true soldier
in this war will seek office as a
pension for the fighting he has
done.
Only men who have cultivated a
marketable type of prohibition zeal
will seek to gather profits from the
cause.
They will seek entry into your
churches and temperance halls to
present their claims. Give no
room to them there. Especially do
not allow them to profane your
churches, mar and MAIN prohibition,
and dishonor our Christianity by
using your houses of worship for
ward meetings and political eau
cuseS.
you owe the politicians nothing.
You would have won your victory
earlier but for some of their doings.
Do not allow them to dim or dimin-
ish your triumph by injecting per-
sonal ambitions or party schemes
into your assemblies.
Such things will divide your
counsels, engender strife and fac
lions among your forces, and in the
end reverse the triumph you have
won. Good men, who have stood by
your cause in the Legislature, love
the cause too well to use it for their
personal advancement, and the pro-
hibitionists must see to it that selfish
men do not so use it.
Mark them who seek to use the
prohibition cause as a breastwork
behind which to fight their personal
battles for self and power
'The people who have made the
prohibition cause successful will be
well able to enforce the law which
they have made possible without
lending themselves to the schemes of
any person or party.
w. A. GAMBLER.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your

Troubles. An Americas Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame
weak or aching back they think that
tits only muscular weakness or when
urinary trouble sets in they think
it will soon correct itself And so
it is with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders You must cure
these troubles or they lead to diabe-
ties or Bright's disease. The best
remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills.
1t cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Americas
people testify to permanent cures,
A. A Willis, a well known farmer,
living just outside of Americas, says:
81 believe that your pills are all that
is claimed for them. | had kidney
trouble and backache, from which /
had been sufferer for many years.
After lying or sitting in one position
for any length of time 1 could hardly
get up on account of the dull heavy
pain in the small of my back. At
times L seemed to almost lose the
use of my back, and would have to
take hold of something for support.
The kidney secretions were disorder
ed, being dark and full of sediment,
and of a strong odor. l used many
different remedies but without much
if any benefit until l got Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Since using them my back
feels strong. The pain has left it,
and the kidney secretions have also
been restored to a normal condition.

Baldheads are growing more numer-
