Everything New But
The Name
TESTED and PROVEN
There Is a Heap of Solace in
Being Able to Depend Up
on a Well-Earned Repu-
tatiOn.

For months Franklin readers have
seen the constant expression OF praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read
about the good work they have done
in this locality. Not another remedy
ever produced such convincing proof
of merit.
Thos. Tarltavull Morgan City,
La. says: 81 am satisfied that
Doan's Kidney Pills live up to re-
presentations. For years | suffered
from kidney complaint. At first l
thought the cause of my back being SO
painful, was due to cold settling in
nv kidneys and l was under the i'm
preston that the pains would soon
disappear but month after month they
clung to me. Mornings my back was
so lame and stiff that | could scarcely
stoop to put on my shoes. | consult,
ed physicians, and went to C-Hospltal
in New Orleans and was treated oy
different doctors there who said my
trouble was brought on by being IN
cold and damp places and being SUBJ
iect to all kinds of weather. Treat
ment proved of little or no avail.
The kidney secretions We're too ire
ouent in passage and highly colored.
One day l CHANGED to read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and procuring a
box, began their use. They proved
very beneficial in my case and L con,
tinued taking them until free from all
signs of my trouble. | highly recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as an ex-
cellent kidney remedy and one that
can be depended upon to give the
desired results"

No Hook Worms About Us.

An old Union Veteran in COM
menting on the fact that Rookie
Teller had just donated a million
dollars to exterminate the hook
worm in the south, which is
claimed to make the southern
people larry, says: my expert
ence with the southern people sat
isles me that they are not lazy
even a little bit. IT'S true the
only time l ever met them, was in
twenty-one battles in the civil
war, and l observed no evidences
of laziness upon those occasions
and met a whole lot Of them
They did not seem to have much
to eat and fewer clothes but there
evidently was a lot of energy in
the men behind the guns. My
experience is that they are mighty
hard to get away from, when we
were on a retreat, and difficult to
catch when they were in the lead
No, Mr.. Rockefeller is mistaken,
the southern people are not lazy,
unless the hook worm has de-
veloped since the days Of 81 to
49,"

(Communication.)
The 1910 Budget.
CENTREvILLE, LA, Nov. IL, 1909

CENTREv1LLE, La, Nov. IL, 1909,
Mr.. ED1ToR:-I would ask you for
a small space in your paper 10 eA,
plain to the people of the Parish OF
St. Mary my reasons for opposing
the adoption of the budget TOR lhe
year 1910, in the form as presented al
the meeting of the Police Jury by the
committee. Personally, | understand
the budget to be an agreement be-
tween the public and the Police Jury
of lust how and for what purposes the
taxes and license monies shall be
spent. may be mistaken in this
version of the matter if | am, I'm
wrong all the way through, but If !
am right in this, I'm right all the
way through.
The great fault with all legislative
bodies is their power to clrcumvent
the law and prohibit them from bor-
rowing money only for special pur-
poses. and not rendering an account
for same to the public for any other
purpose not specified. The present
Police Jury found itself compelled to
borrow several thousand dollars last
year to pay the current expenses or
the parish, and made no provision IN
budg get of 1909 showing the public
that the revenues were insufficient to
pay the enormous expenses entalled
by the courthouse, the criminal and
incidental expense account, the 70
lice Jury finds itself in identically the
same position, the members OF the
Police Jury have borrowed somewhere
in the neighborhood of eight thousand
dollars again to meet the current ex-
penses of 19O9-and have made no
provisions in the budget to pay this
out Of the tax money accrulng at the
end of the year in the bank. Now |
contend this item should at least APP
pear On the face of the budget so the
people can see for themselves that the
Indebtedness has been carried over as
an Inheritance from the old Police
Jury, and is not entirely the fault OF
the present Police Jury: Another
point I'd like to make clear is TINS;
that the money as borrowed now is
private indebtedness OF each member
of the Police Jury that signed and
endorsed the notes, and it is to be
paid out of public money, of course,
there is no doubt that this money was
spent for the same purposes that the
public monies have been spent for
right along, and the men who signed
the notes and borrowed the money
spent it as heretofore to meet the
current expenses of the parish, but
the public is being misled by these
means. No matter what motive
prompts the action, and l believe il
| is time to come out in the open with
these things, let the people under,
stand the situation in full, and if they
are satisfied, alright, if not, let then
devise ways and means to correct
these things, and | feel a better era
will at least dawn upon our parish.
Yours truly,
W. J. YOUNG.

What's the matter with the
American farmers, asks the New
York Press, that they are neglect
ing the cultivation Of apples, one
of the most profitable crops that
can be raised? While our popu-
lation is rapidly increasing, and
while we are exporting more and
more Of the fruit, the production
Of apples in the United States has
been falling of for nearly fifteen
wears. In 1895 we raised 6O,OOO.-
600 barrels and in 1895 $4,000, 900.
For the last four years the average
WELD has been less than 28,OOO,.
600. In 1908 the crop was only
q. OOO, 900. In 1902 we exported
2.8OOOy 900 bushels; in 1907 7,8OO,I
600 bushels. The apple is the
fruit of the gods.

Will Plant Trees by Thousands.
Pennsy's Extensive Scheme Of Reiorestation
Begun in Lancaster County.

An extensive scheme of refores-
tation will be started i'll Lancaster
county this week by the Pennsyl-
vauia Railroad company. All
available ground along The low
grade freight route. extending from
Shocks station to Parkesburg, will
be planted with red oak trees. For
number of years the company has
been setting out locust trees, in or
der to provide for future supply
of cross ties, md hun ,reds Of acres
OF locust sprouts can be seen along
the company's routes at various
places.
Recently the company secui ed
the services Of T.. A. Sterling as
forester, formerly one os the chiefs
of the United States division Of for
estry, and he has urged upon the
company the planting of red oak
trees. The trees to he planted
along the low grade road are being
shipped from northern New York
Forester Sterling has arranged to
plant at last 200, 900 sprouts along
the new road, and he will begin
work this week.
In addition the company will
have men go over the 800 acres of
locust trees near Martins Forge
and pick out the dead ones. Sim
liar work will be done in the big
chestnut groves in the same vicin-
ity. The company also owns much
improved land along the low grade
road. and on this experiments will
be conducted in the growing of
other kinds of hardy trees.

The bell cracked in 1885 when
tolling for the funeral of Chief JUS
tice Marshall. This crack began
at the lip of the bell, where the
metal was three inches thick, apn
extended toward the crown, a d3-
tance of twenty nine inches. The
crack was after drilled out with the
hope that the bell ,ould be ruug
without further splitting it and
still hold its tone. Since then q,

M ilton Fair No More.
Stockholders Vote TO Go Into Liquidation.

AT a meeting of the stockholders
Of the Milton Fair association held
at the Hotel Haag on Thursday
evening, at which all of the forty
shares OF stock except five were
represented, it was voted to 60 in.
10 liquidation with but one dissent
ing ballot.
There are two reasons given for
this action First, the association
owns only half of the present
grounds, leasing the other portion
at what the association regarded as
an exorbitant annual rental. The
lease expires this year, and the les
sors were unwilling to make any
concession worth speaking Of in the
rent, and would not give the asso-
ciation lease for more than fvo
years. The buildings are all in
need of repair and it would cost
the association at least fifteen hun
dred dollars to make the necessary
repairs to hold fair this fall and
at least three thousand dollars to
make the needed permanent i'm
provements. To do this on a five.
year lease would have been an alb
snrd business proposition.
Added to this feature was the
general apathy and indifference OF
the people and business men OF
Milton. Those who reaped the
