cherish the memory of that distin-
guished Georgian who lived in an
age when all corrupt motives were
used to defeat the purpose of the

When we see Representative w.

sorting their party and aiding the
Republicans, it is time that the bai-
lot should be used to place these
corrupt hen hmen of the Republicans

The three leaders were Brantley,
Howard and Livingston and the peO-
pie of Georgia have placed two of her
degraded and unworthy politicians
where they will never rescue JOS. G.
cannon and his plutocra2y rules.
The selection Of public officials
is one of the most important duties
that the citizens owe the common
wealth. In the choice of these rep
resentatives it should be first ascer-
tanned as to their integrity and politi-
cal record, and a representative VINO
has respect for his people and fidel-
ity to the trust bestowed upon him
will never be induced into voting
antagonistically to the best interest
Of his constituents who have non
cred him with their suffrage, and
a representative that Wilfully betrays
his own flesh and blood and joins
hands with the enemies Of the mass
es, which w. G. Brantley has done,
deserves stern rebuke from his con-
stituents who have entrusted
duty to him which should protect
their welfare and interest in the leg
islative branch of this government.

AVOID A DRUGS
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause
Injury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipa-
ton, you should avoid strong
and cathartics. They only
give temporary relief and their
reaction is harmful and some
times more annoying than con
stipation. They in no way effect
a cure and their tendency is to
weaken the already weak organs
with which they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we
have the best constipation treat
ment ever devised. Our faith in
it is so strong that we sell it on
the positive guarantee that it
shall not cost the user a cent if
it does not give entire satisfaction
and completely remedy constipaa-
ton. This preparation is called
Rexall Qrderlies, These are
prompt, soothing and most effect
i've in action. They are made Of
a recent chemical discovery. Their
principal ingredient is odorless,
tasteless and colorless. Com
bined with other well known in
gradients, long established for
their usefulness in the treatment
of constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten just like candy.
z They may be taken at any time,
l either day or night, without fear
of their causing any inconven-
S vience whatever. They do not
. grippe, purge nor cause nausea.
They act without causing any
4 pain or excessive ~looseness of the
bowels. They are ideal for chill

aged people as well as for the
most hearty person.

One Quarter of the Children in

marion Hamilton Carter in
McClure's Magazine for APRIL
It is an astonishing fact, and
one not generally known that one
quarter Of all the children in the
blind schools of this country are
needlessly blind. These children
are doomed to life long darkness
because at the time Of birth their
eyes were not properly washed
and treated by the attending ply
sician or midwife. The cause Of
this preventable blindness Is

Missouri Crop Report for April.

The following crop report for
the month of April, 1910, was is
sued today from the office of T.
.C. Wilson, Secretary of the Mis-
souri, State Board of Agriculture
The very favorable weather for
the month of March has enabled
farmers to make fine progress
with their work, which is much
farther advanced than usual at
this season Of the year. From a
few sections of the state come
complaints of too much dry
weather, but the reports generally
are to the effect that the soil
was never in better shape for
working. One southern Missouri
county reports a few fields of
corn planted and another cores
pendent speaks of cattle having
been turned ON pasture.
WHEAT: The wheat reports
are not flattering. Correspond
ents generally report conditions
bad due TO extreme cold. an I'M
usual amount of sleet, lack of
snow covering, and the extremely
dry weather of the last thirty
days. The wheat condition for
the entire state is 67.5, as com
pared with 10 last year. How
ever, these figures do not really
indicate the full extent Of the
damage or the true wheat short

LONGS FOR A CYCLONE IN
poi IYTCG
POLITICS.

Dear Sir:-I am anxious to see
what Senator La Toilette will give
the people. Being rebel under
StoneWau, l have never voted a Re-
publican ticket and never voted a
Democratic party ticket since 1888,
though | voted for Watson and Bry-
an in 1900, but had no use for
Bryan. Since 1900 have no respect
for or confidence in the pledges of
the Delilah of Democracy. But
Waterman, what of the night! The
West repudiating her stand-pat Con-
gressmen, and the South her coal oil
Senators. Will it create a political
cyclone, or calm down to a gentle
breeze by the ides of November,
1910? | long for the cyclone.
How many more Rev. Towsons
Will try to stick pins in T. E. W.?
1t is the truth that hurts! The hit
dog that bowls! The more the Tow
sons stir up the puddle the muddier
1T will get. l have not contributed
anything to foreign missionary funds
for twenty years. Nor do I intend
to. l have enjoyed the lively tilt be-
tween you and the preachers. But
1t strikes me that the ammunition is
exhausted when the crowd gets down
to misrepresentation and villification
and personal SANDER. Those very
pious brethren have forgotten our
Lords injunction that when smitten
on one cheek to turn the other one.
Your exposures of these unwarrant-
ed expenditures to no good purpose
has done much good You have not
left one single prop for them to lean
on. Being past seventy-f1ve years,
l am so nervous it is difficult for me
to write. You have my best wishes
for success, both personally and po-
litically.
Yours truly and fraternally,
R. S. DAVIS, MD.
