THE ONLY WAY.
rlany Henderson Citizens Have Dis
covered Ii.

Just what to do when the kidneys are
affected, is a question that concerns
both young and old. Weak kidneys
neglected in childhood lead to lifelong
suffering. People OF advanced years,
with less vitality, suffer doubly. In
youth or age, languor. backache, urinary
lrregularity, dizziness and nervousness
make life a burden.
There ia one remedy that acts directly
on the kidneys and cures these troubles.
Doan's Kidney Pills owe their world
wide fame to the fact that they cure sick
kidneys and cure thea permanently.
Follow the example of this Henderson
citizen and you will be convinced that
this is So

cises in the Memorial Hall. The address
OF the occasion was delivered by DR.. s.
C. Mitchell, the distinguished president
of the University of South Carolina.
Hon. T. W. Beckett, Attorney General of
North Carolina, made a characteristic
ally strong address in behalf OF the
alumni OF the University. Mr.. Cbas. W.
Tillett, Jr.. responded most happily for
the student body. President Francis P.
Venable made his annual report of the
alumni which showed the University, in
spite OF it's limited resources, to be in a
decidedly progressive condition. Tele-
from alumni associations from New
York to Florida.
DR.. Joseph Hyde Pratt, professor OF
economic geology and State geologist,
and DR.. Archibald Henderson attended
the Southern Appalachian Good Roads
Convention recently held at Asheville.
DR.. Pratt was elected president OF the

President A. L. Lowell of Harvard Uni
versity. In the procession of universe

South Welcomes Seaboard Changes.

Atlanta journal.
That John Shelton Williams and
J. William Middendorf, with the
interests they represent, have been
retained as the controlling power
OF the Seaboard Air Line, is in
Dictated by the action OF the reor-
ganization committee of that rail-
way, which met in New York Friday
afternoon, with the board OF direct
ors, and ousted Thomas F. Ryan.
Maj. J. H. Dooley and William A.
Garrett from the directorate, increas-
ing the board from sixteen to nine
teen members, and filling the six va
cant chairs by electing l.. F. Loree,
John B. Ramsey, John SHELTON Will
liams, J. William Middendorf, Frank
lin C. Brown and Hennen Jennings.
Thomas Ryan and the other direct
ors who were not reelected represent
ed the forces who have oil along been
the most hostile to John SHELTON
Williams and his policies. The fact
that these men step down and out at
the very moment when Williams and
Middendorf, with their supporters,
regain their old hold upon Seaboard
affairs, can only mean that the il
liams star is in the ascendent.
This turn of affairs will be very
gratifying to the friends of the Sea-
board throughout the entire coun-
try, but in the South it has been
learned with especial pleasure be-
cause John SHELTON Williams, during
the years that he controlled the des-
tiny of the Seaboard, proved himself
time after time true friend of South
ern interests, proved his willingness
and his ability to help upbuild the
industrial and commercial interests
OF the territories traversed by his
lines, and in divers ways contributed
to the welfare and prosperity OF the
Southern States,
When the control OF the Seaboard
was temporarily wrested from hi:
hands by Ryan and his followers, q
general feeling OF regret was mani
fest, and now that the tables have
been turned, there is a widespread
hope that the change will usher in 6
period OF increased growth and pros
perity not only for the Seaboard All
Line itself, but for all the industries
which are affected indirectly by The
feeling of confidence and security
which will surely follow the action o
the board in its recent elections.

THE DOCTORS QUESTION.
Some Advice Against the Use OF Harsh
Purgatives and Physics.

TuE&01lVSS 0uQ fNv81CSs
The doctors first question when
consulted by patient is, care your
bowels regular?" He knows that 90
per cent. of illness is attended with
inactive bowels and torpid liver.
This condition poisons the system
with waste matter and causes accu-
mutation OF gases which must be re-
moved through the bowels before
health can be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathar-
tics may be truly likened to dyna-
mite. Through their harsh, irrita-
ting action they force a passage
through the bowels. causing pain
and damage to the delicate fntesti-
nal structure which weakens the
whole system, and at best only pro-
duces temporary relief. The repeated
use OF such treatments causes chron-
ic irritation OF the stomach and bow

Seaboard Harmony.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
One OF the developments of the
past week In railroad circles that
should not pass unnoticed was the
outcropping OF signs OF peace and
harmony in the management OF the
Seaboard Air Line affairs. The road
has been under the operations OF
three receivers and the Richmond
News-Leader says they have proved
the property can be made profitable.
Noting that the struggle for the con-
troll OF the road between the Will
liams and the Ryan interests seems
to have ceased by mutual consent,
our usually well-informed Richmond
contemporary accounts for it on the
ground that perhaps some new con-
sentative interests have come in. 1t
gives the encouraging information
that Judging from the composition
OF the board of directors the purpose
now is to use the Seaboard for the
interest OF those who hold its securi-
ties and OF the public. 1t will no
more be an object OF contention be-
tween opposing factions. Hthere ever
was any purpose to make it a mere
subordinate or feeder to some other
system that seems to have been
abandoned" 1t is quite true, as
The News-Leader contends, that OPP
Grated by business men on business
principles, the Seaboard can be made
great and profitable property. 1t
can also be made to do tremendous
work in the upbuilding and develop
ment OF very important part OF the
South. The people OF this section
and especially OF the territory the
Seaboard serves will look eagerly for
further developments. They have a
peculiar interest in the Seaboard be-
cause it was organized, in a large
measure financed and for a time
operated by Southern men. They
realize what it can be made to do for
its owners and for the people. Ger.
tainly they would be bitterly disap.
pointed by a return of the old poll
cies OF management which carried
the system into the court and the
hands OF receivers. They hope to see
it controlled, operated and managed
simply as a railroad system to serve
the public and to earn money for it.

ERWcTORY NOR DEFEAT.

John Shelton Williams and the Sea-
board System-Receot Action d for
Purpose Of fIarmonlzlnx all Inter
ests and Insure Peace and Effective
Work.
Richmond, Va, Oct. IL. John
Shelton Williams was in his Office
here today, having just returned
from the meeting of the reorganiza-
ton committee and the board of d.
rectors OF the Seaboard Air Line
Railway system in New York, and
upon being questioned made the fol-
lowing statement:
81 regret to see that some newspa-
pers which did not entirely under
stand the situation and some OF my
enthusiastic friends are too much dis
posed to herald the recent action at
New York in electing myself and
some OF my friends to the Seaboard
directorate as a Williams victory.
This is the wrong view. The action
is not victory or defeat for any
body and was not SO intended. There
has been no fight since the receiver
ship. 1t was simply a case OF those
most heavily and directly interested
in the Seaboard getting together
to harmonic all interests and to In
sure peace and effective work"
Mr.. Williams was asked about the
presidency. He replied: "That is
matter which need not be discussed
at present. as it is expected that the
whole subject OF the management
will be taken up in a harmonious
and friendly manner after the ending
OF the receivership. l think there is
not much doubt that whatever is
done will be done by general agree
ment, and after a full discussion and
consideration OF what will be best
for the system and the country
through which it operates-as you
will observe, a territory constantly
extending and widening. So far as
l have had opportunity to observe
and believe, the directorate is now
unanimous in the desire to make the
Seaboard great and valuable prop
erty and a vast factor in the build
ing up of the South. That is the
hope | have had from the outset,
and it these purposes are accomplish
ed shall be greatly gratified.
You need not have Dyspepsia or Indiges-
ton, nor do you need to be troubled in any
way with your stomach. if you will simply
take Kodol at those times " hen you feel that
you need it. Kodol is guaranteed to relieve
you. If it fails your money will be refunded
to you by the druggist from whom you pur-
chased it. Kodol digests all the food you
eat. 1t is pleasant to take. Sold by all
Druggists.
