KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health Ia Worth Saving, and Some
Dawson People Know How
to Save It.

Many Dawson people take their
lives in gaheir hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of suf-
fering and i'll health, but there is
no need to suffer nor to remain in
danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can
be quickly and permanently cured
by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
The following statement leaves no
room for doubt:

Digging stumps under the most
favorable circumstances is very hard
work, while topping trees is, COM
pared to this, easy. Now, if the
men who believe in the enforcement
of the law would let the stump dig
ging alone for awhile and top the
fruit of the alcohol tree" some we
would. get rid of a great deal more
illegal sale of liquor than by en-
ploying spies to ferret out blind t.
gers. Public drunkenness is puniGh-
able by the same section of the code
by which the sale of liquor is made
a crime, and this is open and OBJ
servable by all.
At a show in Cuthbert during court
week Policeman Cox could have ar
rested several who had more than
was necessary, and if the county
commissioners were to offer prize
for all convictions in violation of
the statutes relating to liquor Cox
would catch them, for he is one of
the most efficient arresting officers
we have had in the county. l am
not blaming him for pursuing the
game" that he is paid to catch and
ignoring that for which no reward
is offered. He is human, and some
danger would attach to this from
'mammas" whose boys patrOnize
blind tigers, and lie about the per-
son from whom they obtain their
lope. But the English mind revolts
1t spies, and more or less SUSPICION
rests on one who buys liquor in-Or-
der to get evidence to satisfy a
grudge or to honestly stop its sale.
But the public drunkard is seen and
known of all men, and enough evil
dence was brought out in the trial
of one negro for the salel of liquor
to have consigned the states wit
ness to the gang for public drunk
enness, even if his father was, as
he told one man, a Damn Master
Mason" And by-the-by, the mem
bers of that jury are anxious to
find where the headquarters of the
Damn Master Masons" are, as we
wish to save our hides from the
wrath of this Damn Masters" son.

SMITH WILLING TO CUT TERM
HE WOULD GIVE SIX MONTHS TO
CHANGE INAUGURATION DAY.
Thinks There Should Be Shorter In
term Between Election and Time
of Going Into Office.

ATLANTA.-In order that the flu
ture governors of Georgia may enter
upon their term of office on the first
of the year GovernOr-elect Smith will
recommend to the legislature next
summer that six mOnhs be Topped off
his term of two years so that his
successor may be inaugurated Janu-
airy 1
The governOr-elect is strongly of
the opinion that the interim between
the election in October and the in
auguration of the chief executive the
following June is too lengthy, and
should be reduced at least six
months. There are several reasons
advanced by Mr. Smith. Among
them arc the following:
First. The man elected as gov
ernOr does not serve for eight months
after his election, and in the mean
line there are two men who are
treated on practically the same plane
as governor
Second. The Inauguration in June
breaks right into the middle of the
years work The fiscal year should
be from January to January, thus
EnuIuS Will luG tClGllldI year. Al
the present the new governor takes
hold of his duties right in the mid
die of the tax collecting period and
is absolutely at sea regarding the
financial status of the state.
Third. The new governor should
go into his office fresh from the bal
lots of the people and with the en-
thusiasm, of his policies strong upon
him
Governor Smith has not decided
whether he will recommend that the
session of the legislature be changed
from June to January in order that
the governor may be inaugurated in
that month, or whether he will sug.
gest an amendment to the constitu-
ion authorizing the secretary of state
to administer the oath of office

SIX HEIRS TO OLD COTTON BALE
1t Was Ginned and Packed Forty
One Years Ago.

N. H. Jones of Fitzgerald is one of
six heirs who have an unusual legacy
in the shape of bale of cotton which
was ginned and packed in 1869, and
is therefore forty-one years old.
The bale was ginned by an old
fashioned horsepower gin and pack
ed with a wooden screw. 1t weighs
500 pounds, and the lint is very fine,
and OF silky texture. 1t is wrapped
with the same bagging and ties that
were put upon it two score years ago
The bale won the premium at the
Worlds Fair in st. Louis in 1904.
The cotton was raised and packed
by c. c. Jones, near LAGRANGE, and
then kept by him for thirty-five
years. Mr.. Jones willed this to his
children jointly, and it has never
been sold or divided, and is kept by
an older brother on the home place.

HIGH PRICED BEEF STEAK.
Sold at S4S Pound in Alaska. The
Minera Gathered to See Ii.

Sold at $4S Pound in Alaska. The
Miners Gathered to See 1t.
The highest price ever paid for
beef steak, so far as is known, was
at Circle City, Alaska. The first
beefsteak that ever reached that
town sold for $48 a pound
There were ten pounds OF the
steak, which was shipped $50 miles
to Circle City. When the owner of
the precious bit of meat reached the
camp the miners turned out in a body
to see it. 1t was placed on exhibit
ton, and attracted as much atten-
ton as an elephant. Everybody
wanted a piece of it, and the prices
offered were such as would have re
suited in, mining camp quarrel if
it had not been decided to rattle the
steak off for the benefit of a hos
pital, which Bishop Rowe was trying
to establish for the benefit of the
miners at Circle City. Bids were
started at s. a pound, and to avoid
complications it was decided to sell
tickets at prices from so cents to
$3.50 for the privilege of drawing
for a slice. After $3.50 worth of
tickets had been sold the drawing
began, and to the relief of those in
charge of the sale no trouble re-
suited.

would be the outgrowth of a dis
REIMBURSEMENT law that would cut
at the tap-root of this iniquity by
forcing the issue of the constitution
atty of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments before the supreme
court of tt United States, where the
recent race troubles in her borders
is forcing the scholars of the north,
like the dean of law at Harvard, to
admit their unconstitutionality and
ask for this test. Then they could
be put on a parity with aliens, and
be accorded only those rights which
would conduce to their betterment
and the safety of the white race.
They would be without a country
possessing the right of trial, and
could be tried as England does the
Kaffirs, the most intelligent of their
kin, in Africa-by a court cOnstitut-
ed somewhat on the order of a re-
corder's court in Macon or Augusta.

will some man tell us where and
when any such right was promised

that tried them in Randolph for two
weeks was not, and the putting of
white men on their voire dire and

KING IN QUEST OF A BRIDE
rortusaPs Youthful Ruler Has Search ed in Vain for Suitable Wife
 to Share Throne.

Young King Manuel of Portugal is looking for a suitable bride, but none or the marriageable princesses of Flu. rope seems to be over-anxious to share ms somewhat unstable throne. His failure to secure wife during his re- cent tour Is source of great disap- po'ntment not only to Manuel himself but to his advisers.
 Manuel Is not wealthy as monarchs go. His civil list is just $1.O0O a day. and 1t was hoped he would be able to make match with a popular princess possessing large means in her own right. The father of one princess was strongly opposed to the alliance, not that he disliked the young Portuguese king, but because of the unsettled state of the country.
 Since the assassination of the late King Carlos and his eldest son, the condition of Portugal has not i'm proved, and there are fears that be- fore very long serious trouble will break out. A wellknown Portuguese roiitlclan, in letter to prominent tnglishman, says that the people are intensely dissatisfied with the existing regime and the growing influence of the old clericalism at court, and if re- forms are not quickly initiated and the members of the old camarilla dismissed a revolution may b.ea.. olt g., my mo- ment.
 There is. of course, the alternative of Manuel's abdication and the success sion of his uncle, the Infante Alfonso, duke of Oporto, man of forty-five.

Wasted Effort.

It is said that a California poet was badly handled by his wife because he neglected to suppo-t the family.
 When they asked for bread he gave them sonnet. and when they clam ored for pie he came across with a mRdrigal.
 Nevertheless, 1t doesn't seem quite right for his wife to roach over and snatch tufts from his cranium cover and batter his shins with bench made shoes and crack his slats with . broom handle. That sort of treat ment doesn't bring results. A poet with . black eye and twisted neck and dsnted kneepan is no more use full than . poet in perfect order.
 What the lady should do would be to have her poet hubby pick up some side trade that would promise hnanr cial results--as they did in Indiana. where you will find the baker writes poetry and % do the hairdresscr and tho motorman and tho bartender.
 But thsro 10 no use attempting to club money out of poet.

Have Faith In Yourself.


 There is a tremendous power in the habit of expectancy. the conviction that we shall realize our ambition. that our dreams shall come true. There is no uplifting habit like that attitude of expecting that our heart yearnings will be matched with realities; that things are going to turn out we'll and not i'll; that We are going to succeed: 1: that no matter what may or may not happen. We are going to be happy, says Success.
 There is nothing else so helpful as the carrying of this optimistic. expect ant attitude-the attitude which all ways looks for and expects the best, the highest, the happiest-and never allowing oneself to get into the pessi- mistic discouraged mood
 Beneve with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do Never for an instant harbor a doubt of this. Drive 1t out of your mind If 1t seeks entrance. Entertain only the friendly thoughts or ideals of the thing you are bound to achieve. Reject all thought enemies, all discouraging moods-everything which would even suggest failure or unhappiness.

REFUSED TO BUY TELEGRAPH
Morse Patent Offered to tho Govern. ment for o,ooo-Now Capital
 ized at $22o,0oo,ooo

Sixty-five years ago. on April 1, Pro- lessor Morse, accompanied by his as- sociates, stood before congress and offered to sell the patents on the cleo tric telegraph for $100000. After a long and bitter debate congress appro- priated s30,000 for the construction of line between Washington and Balti- more in order that the merits of the invention might be fully tested, says Electric News.
 It Is recorded that President Polk thought the invention a good thing for the government to own. but the post master general, in long report, gave as his opinion that the revenues could never be made to cover the expendi- lures in the telegraNhing of messages Today, in this country alone, the Morse systems are capitalized at $220,000,000.
 But this little anecdote is seldom told by the officials of the Western Union Telegraph company, for it is matter or history that Prof. Alexander Graham Bell offered to sell his tele phone patents to the telegraph com pany for the paltry sum of s30,000, but the officials of that company smiled and declared the invention toy. with no commercial value. Today there are more than five million telephones in use in this country, earning $50 ,000,- 900 annually.
