Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as
the digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is
acted upon in such a way as to pro-
duce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body and
thereby makes us strong, healthy
and robust, and it is the weakening
of these juices that destroys health.
1t is our own fault if we destroy our
own health, and yet it is so easy for
any one to put the stomach out of
order. When you need to take some
thing take it promptly, but take
something you know is reliable
something like Kodol for DYSPEPSIA
and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant
to take; it is reliable, and is guaran-
teed to give relief. 1t is sold by
Dawson Drug Co.

GREAT OVATION IN ATLANTA
Thousands Enthusiastically Cheered
GOvernOr-Elect. His Thoughtful
Consideration for Governor
Smith and Family.


ATLANTA, GA, June 5.-Never in
the history of this city has such a
demonstration been made in honor
of any cause or any candidate as was
made here this afternoon in tribute
to Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, governor
elect of Georgia.
At l o'clock more than a thousand
met him at the station of the in
terurban street car line on his arriv-
al in the city from Marietta. Armed
with brOoms and loaves of bread
they shouted for him for three hours.
He was virtually forced into a big
tallaho that had been engaged for
the occasion, and was compelled,
against his will, to be one of a party
that headed the crowd of several
thousand which paraded the streets
| for more than two hours.
Mr.. Brown wore his usual look,
and his countenance bore no evil
dence of the heavy strain which the
campaign has necessarily made upon
him. His ordinary apparel which he
has worn throughout the campaign
clothed him on this the most mo-
mentous day of his life.
Standing in the center of the big
tallaho, his mead uncovered, he
moved at the front of the crowd,
marching through the streets, bow
ing toward every person that looked
upon him with favor among the vast
crowd which thronged the streets
Thousand hn
symbolic brooms aloft followed in
the rear of the carriage which bore
the successful candidate for gov
ernOr. Thousands of men, women
and children lined the sidewalks and
cheered for Mr.. Brown as he and
his friends passed along the street.
With commendable respect for the
feelings of those not directly involv-
ed in the campaign the parade was
not allowed to proceed beyond Mari
eta street upon the return to the
city. Mr.. Brown refused to
sanction any move that would d.
dectly or indirectly cause pain to the
governors aged parents or his wife
and children. No demonstration of
any character in Mr.. Browns favor
was permitted within a half dozen
blocks of the executive mansion. The
most decorous respect was shown,
not only for the relatives and close
friends of the governor, but even for
the governor himself, and not one
thing did Mr.. Hrown's friends do
during the afternoon or evening that
could be construed to be an insult or
a suggestion of such towards those
who lost. Sympathy and personal
respect and individual regard was
displayed on every hand towards
those on the other side.

by Brown was in Butts, where he was
given only one more vote than Smith.
His largest majority was in Chat
ham,. that county giving him 3,O16
votes over the governor.
Governor Smiths smallest major
ity was in Rockdale county, where it
was 2, and his largest majority was
in Franklin, that county giving him
479 more votes than it did Brown.
Mr.. Brown carried his own home
county, Cobb, by majority of 423,
and also Fulton, the home of Gov
ernor Smith. His majority in Full
ton was 2,039, and ne carried every
ward in the city of Atlanta except
one. The ward in which Smith lives
gave Brown a majority of 299 votes.

Last winter, when William Jen-
nings Bryan was here, he attended an
informal reception, for men only. He
had told number of clean, witty sto-
ries, when suddenly man, stranger
edged through the crowd and began 10
joke with Mr.. Bryan. Nothing was
thong 1t of this, as it was only gam e
of conversational give and take. Sud-
denly from the lips of the stranger
there fell a single coarse remark.
The Commoner's jaw set like a steel
trap, and his eyes snapped. The
stranger was quickly hustled out of
the p9om.

first great battle of that terrible war

Mr.. Editor.
Some people entertain the belief that
Mr.. Bryan does rot bring out The full
democratic vote. From 1892 period Of
eight years, he increased the dem ecr.
attic vote sol BIS while Judge Par9er,in
1904 period Of II years fell short Of
the Cleveland vote 48i ,l64 and bslow
Mr. Bryan's vote ef 1900 i,27S.85s
votes. II this recorded history demon
strates anything that is truth, il ought
to rcfute such remarks and to snow
that such persons are either not fam
iliar with the facts In the case or are
misstatipg them.
Unfortunately there are great
many educated peopie who hold re-
tanning fees from corporations and
others who hold positions OF profit and
trust whose Judgment, / fear, Is warp
ca and prejudlccd.

The prohibition vote hitherto has cut
small figure In the politics Of West
Virginia, but this year OF our Lord
there must be some consideration o.
the factor. This movement has been
growing most wonderfully and the
weight Of this sentiment will be sem
sibly felt throughout the state. Al
special sent out from Charleston states
that Mr.. Theodore Alyord, the super
of the State An.i-5aloon
League has given out ths information
that the league will not support
Swisher for governor. Knowing Mi.
Alvord as we do we do not believe that
he would support Mr.. Scheer either.
While Swisher did more to defeat the

other individual and was rewarded BIZ
having the support Of the whiskey AN

saloon his headquarters whenever it
suited his plans to do 80.

we believe That the league will support

The federation is after the scalps OF
Republican Congressman who oppose d

with the style of campaign OF two
years ago, it has been decided by or
ganized labor to bring out number of
organized labor to bring out a Iambe r
of independent candidates. La this
way, IT is believed that the usual Re-

Democratic candidate or the indie
