COMFORTING WORDS
Many a Dawson Household Will
Find Them SO

To have the aches and pains of a
bad back removed; to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous uri-
nary disorders, is enough to make
any kidney sufferer grateful. To
tell how this great change can be
brought about will prove comforting
words to hundreds of Dawson read
ers.

DAVENPORT, Misunderstanding
that the world is to come to an end
by a great flood the third Sunday in
September a small band of religious
fanatics, under the leadership of the
Rev James Elwell, are building
themselves an ark on an eminence
in the foothills of the Cascade noun
tains in the southern part of this
state.
These people call themselves the
followers of Daniel the Second, and
number about fifty members, men,
women and children. The men are
farmers and ranchers VINO nave pros
pered during the past few years.
The building they are erecting is
in reality a great iron bound scoW,
with a rooted cabin on the deck. IL
is about 80 feet in length by a third
as wide. Light is secured through
skylights. and many berths are punt
along the sides. Surrounding the
sleeping cabin are rooms for supplies
and live stock which the passengers
will take aboard with them.
The leader of the sect asserts ne
has had visions that the great Hood
of ancient times will be repeated ana
completely devastate the world ana
all who would be saved must enter
the ark.
The ark is being so constructed
that in case the great flood does not
materialize it may be used as a place
of worship. -.
Eyes, we really have an ark in
course of construction said the Rev.
Mr.. Ellwell, and it is the command
of God that we enter it with all our
families and valuables on the thlrd
SUNDAY in September. We believe
the great flood will be repeated, butt
we are not making any widespread
discussion of the fact because we are
bound by our ritual to keep all our
plans as secret as possible. II Coo

one night stands in Macon and Thorn
asville, besides which both Mr.
Graves and Mr.. Carter have promised
TO talk to the people at other points
Inc notification meeting in Allan
ia was specially designed, it would
appear, to give impetus to the indie
pendent movement in Georgia, which
mas been selected as point of at
TACK principally for the reason. it is
DelleVed, of the alleged disaffection
in democratic ranks in the
state.
Build Their Hopes on Disaffection.
There is little doubt about the fact
however, that the hackers of the in
dependent movement will find thew
nave built too much hope upOn that
dlsatfectiOn. While reports indicate
mat Mr.. Carter will probably get a
number of votes, even from disan-
pointed citizens who participated in
the state primary, there is, of course,
no possibility of his overcoming the
vote that was given Mr.. Brown.
some 10000 to which will be added
a very large PERCENTAGE of the vote
that was cast for Gov. Smith.
Notwithstanding the fact that both
hgures and sentiment are against
them, the independents are as hard
at work and are spending as much
money as if they really hoped to win.
they have opened campaign head
quarters in Atlanta, where some fif-
teen or twenty stenographers and
clerks are being kept busy, and are
sending out a volume of campaign
literature that reminds one of a
state campaign within party ranks.
Circulating the Radical.
1t is reported that some 100000
copies of The Radical, a weekly pub
lication which fought Joe Brown be-
fore the primary and which is now
devoted to the campaign of Mr.. Car
ter, have been mailed over the state
for distribution among voters. This.
it is stated, is only a small part of
the Independent campaign literature
that is being circulated. Letters are
being written right and left, and ev-
cry possible wire is being pulled with
view to corralling back of the
Hearst political invasion of the state
all possible disaffected voters.
Max Ihmsen, personal representa-
tive of Mr.. Hearst, has been in At
lanta for several days supervising
plans of the Independence party.
Open Resentment Against Them.
There has been already some ex-
preston of resentment against this
sort Of outside interference with
Georgia affairs, even on the part of
many of those who opposed the nom
ination of Mr.. Brown, and it is be-
lieved the fact that the independent
movement is the product of outside
influences will prove one of it's seri-
Gus handicaps, even in the matter
of making a respectable showing.
Georgia has simply been sized up
as an easy political mark, and the
money and agitation are being turned
loose on it. But there is abundant
evidence that the election on Octo-
Der 7th. will develop the fact that it
has been sized up wrong.

JEWELS CAUSED HER ARREST
Prominent Columbus Banker Had
Atlanta Woman Arrested After
Merry Trip to New York.
4 CLARK. State AGENTS
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co.
Detroit, Mich.

Handsome jewels valued at about
$1,000, and which she says were pre-
scented to her by William B. Slade
of Columbus, caused Mrs. ]. b. Bren-
ner, pretty young woman residing
near Grant Park, said to be a di-
vorcee, to spend Sunday behind the
bars of the police station, says the
Atlanta Georgian.
The arrest of Mrs. Bremen came
as the climax to a merry trip to New
York. She had just returned from
the metropolis. The arrest was made
at the instigation of Slade, who was
in Atlanta Saturday and who swOre
out a warrant before Justice of the
Peace Landrum charging the young
woman with larceny after trust, the
warrant being taken in an effort to
recover the jewels.
Mrs. Bremen was taken into GUS
tody Sunday morning by Detective
Charlie Brannan and placed in care
Of Mrs. Bohnefeld, police matron.
Confident of Release.
ooh, that's all right I'm not
worrying. He'll have me released,
all right. I know him well enough
for that" smilingly remarked the
pretty prisoner as she sat is the ma
irons ward.
True to her prediction, telegram
came to the police Sunday night from
the sheriff of Muscogee county ask
ing that Mrs. Bremen be released.
In addition to this Slade himself
&C He'd up the detective department
over the long distance telephone and
requested the release of the fair pris-
oner, saying he didn't care to prose-
cute her
Justice Landrum was promptly ac-
quainted with the request of the
banker and he dismissed the war
rant, after which Mrs. Bremen was
given her freedom. Why Slade
wished the prosecution dropped is not
known.
So far as is known Mrs Bremen
is still in possession of the jewels.
