The Call Of the South.


Instead ofbreaking the Solid South
we better had maintain it as rallying
point and nucleus for conservation
and real democracy. Instead OF
going over to the Republicans we
should bring the Republicans and
the great Democratic masses of the
country to us. In movement OF
this kind Virginia can take the lead.
She has sons with the strength and
brains and gifts. but under the in
fuence of forty years OF repression
and following meekly the leadership
OF others they have become timid.
Almost in any condition and in any
department of endeavor the bold
policy is the best and the advantage
always is with the attack. We
would like to see some Virginians go
right to the front and announce that
the South intends to take charge of
the Democratic party and to in
vigorate it back to strength and
purpose.

Would Suit Judge Allen.
Butt lie Would Have the Law as
Suggested Requiring Judges
to Remain at the County
Seat During the Full Time
Allotted for a ERIN Of Court,

After the adjournment OF court
Friday evening, Judge 0. II. Allen
and several members of the bar were
standing on the corner OF the square
discussing certain cases and incl
dents that had come up during the
term. The business of the term being
over, the Judge was asked if he was
going home on the evening train.
"No," he replied, 81 will remain
until morning and come back to the
court house a while to see il there
are any matters that need looking
over and signing before l leave"
The reporter had Joined the group
i'm time to hei : this question and
reply, and the opinion ofJudge Allen
was asked on the bill offered or sug-
gested in the Legislature to require
judges to remain at the county seat
during the full time allotted for :,
term of court.
'Oh l like that all right" he said.
'.Such law would make no diff
ference with me, as it is my custom
to remain to the end of the term any
way. But | would like to offer one
amendment to such bill. and that is
every lawyer having business with
the court be also required to remain
to the end of the term, and that they
be allowed to continue no cases,
even though counsel to it. unless the
Judge gave his approval to such con-
tinuance
This put the laugh on the lawyers
present, but Ex-Governor Jarvis re-
marked "you can put me down as
agreeing to that amendment right
now"
If such a bill should be enacted,
with the amendment suggested by
Judge Allen, you would see the courts,
especially civil terms, disposing of a
great many more cases and there
would be fewer crowded dockets.
In sickness, ii a certain hidden nerve goes
wrong, then the organ that this nerve con-
trolls will also surely fail. 1t may be a
stomach nerve, or it may have given strength
and support to the Heart or Kidneys. 1t
was Dr. Shoop that first pointed to this
vital truth. DR.. Shops Restorative was
| not made to dose the Stomach nor to
temporarily stimulate the Heart or Kidneys.
That old fashioned method is all wrong.
DR.. Shops Restorative goes directly to
failing inside nerves. The remarkab BILE success
of this prescription demonstrates the wisdom
of treating the actual cause of these failing
organs. And it is indeed easy to prove. A
simple FIVE or ten days test will surely tell.

How to Cure
Your Piles
Due Often To Carelessness or Neglect
and Stubborn to Cure

''The knife Is not always necessary to
cure even desperate cases of piles" says
q physician whose years and experience
make him an authority. Indeed" he
says further: II have known some very
aggravated cases of long standing cured
to the bowels easy natural daily move
ments."
And the doctor is right, as many letters
from cured people in various parts Of
the country prove. If sufferers from
piles, rectal tumors and ulcers would try
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsn they would
often save themselves the terrible pain
and danger and the heavy expense Of a
severe surgical operation.
Piles are often due to constipation
and are always aggravated by it. Easy
natural movements of the bowels such
as are invariably produced by this fam
Gus laxative without pain or grippe do
much to restore normal, healthy condi-
ton to the bowels and thus cure piles.
M. H. Miller, Moweaque, ILL.,, says: II
have been troubled all my life with piles
brought on by constipation. I tried many
doctors and numerous remedies, but
found no relief until I used DR.. Caldwell
Syrup Pepsin. have used it as lax
atve and stomach remedy for the past
nine years and have no more troubles with
piles" H. N. John, Minneapolis, Kan, says
he suffered for four years with piles which
were so bad that he could not work.
Four bottles Of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin cured him, and he says he has not
been bothered since.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a safe
sure remedy for constipation, restoring
easy natural daily movements in the
worst old chronic cases, yet SO mild and
pleasant to take mothers give 1t to their
babies with splendid results. 1t is sold
by all druggists at SOC and s1.00 per
bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co., 3o2 Caldwell
Bldg, Monticello, ILL.,, will send a free
sample to anyone who has not used 1t
and will give it fair trial.
