WHAT THE KIDNEYS.DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this Impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms-pain
in the back headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin. rheumatism. govt.
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness. irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy. deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep
the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
Mrs. S. B Newman, Lancaster,
Wis, says: About two years ago
I contracted kidney trouble and suf
fered intensely from backaches and
pains through my kidneys Headaches
and dizzy spells were also present and
there were other symptoms of disor-
dered kidneys. used Doan Kidney

Russell Supporters
Betting Even Money

Atlanta, Nov. 29-The Atlanta
friends Of Judge Russell, who be-
lieve he is going to win the guber-
material race, have the courage of
their convictions, and are offering
what they regard as even money on
the outcome.
Betting has begun in sums often
ranging more than 500 or S2OO
and the Russell enthusiasts are offer
ing to bet even money that Judge
Russell will get more votes than
either one of the other candidates
the one to be specified of course
or are willing to bet one to two
on Russell against the field.
None of this betting is coming
from the Russell headquarters,
where betting is not countenanced,
but is done independently by indi-
vidual supporters of the state.

Declares Pope Brown
Supported Bush Bill
Judge Moore Replies to Charge
Made by Barlow Willingham
Of Forsyth, Ga.

Judge S. L. Moore, ordinary OF
Bullock county, has addressed to
the Georgian a co mmunication in
which he declares that Hon. Pope
Brown did support the Bush-Willing
ham anti-barroom bill in the state
legislature in 1895 and that, in
view of the record he does not I'M
derstand the charges Hon. Barlow
Willingham recently made against
MIR. Browns prohibition record The
letter follows:
Editor The Georgian:
| have been considerably sur
prised at the recent controversy
that has been going on in the press
of the state about the position
taken and the vote cast by Hon.
Pope Brown in the Georgia legisla-
ture when the Bush Willingham
anti-barroom bill was pending there
in 1695-especially at the alleged
statement of Mr.. Willingham that
Mr.. Brown opposed the bill. l am
surprised because the record OF the
vote on the bill is so easy OF access
that can't see how controversy
could arise over t.
Without any desire whatever to
take part in this dispute or to figure
/. in the present campaign for cover
nor, | desire as a simple act OF JUS
tice to Mr.. Brown, for whom | en-
terrain the highest personal and
political regard, to say that as a
member of that legislature | re-
member very distinctly the very
positive stand taken by Mr.. Brown
in favor of this bill, which was then
the most advanced step taken by
the prohibitionists of the state. |
remember also private conversa-
ton that | had with Mr.. Brown, in
(which he expressed to me very
positively his intention to support
the bill, and of course, the house
journal of 1896, page COS, shows
that he voted with Messrs. Bush,
Willingham and others for the bill.
Very respectfully,
81. MOORE.

Preachers Specializing

Atlanta, Nov. 2S. - The specula-

on peoples nerves. Some Atlanta
preachers have declared, for publ
cation, that Beattie is in heaven.
Others, for publication, says his
chances of salvation are better
because of his confessions. Others
still say for publication, that if he
merely confessed to man" he is in
hell.
How can any man without de-
vine knowledge presume and dare

Browns Pardon Record
Attacked by Williams
Joe Brown Granted 80 Pardons
in Whiskey Cases, says
Williams.

Manager Volney Williams of the
Pope Brown headquarters, has is
sued the following statement re-
garding former Governor Browns
pardon record, and has put at issue
the fact that 80 of the pardons
were granted in whiskey cases:
While Hon. Joseph NJ Brown was
governor of Georgia he stated to a
committee of Anti saloon League
men that the governor of Georgia
is but mere figure-head, that he
has nothing to do with having the
laws enforced. There is not record
of Governor Brown telling these
gentlemen about anything that he
had done as governor toward help
ing in the enforcement Of the prohi-
bition law.
Though there is no record of any,
thing that eX- Governor Brown did
while governor toward enforcing the
prohibition law, yet there is some
record of what he did as governor
to help toward defeating the en-
forcement of the law In this con-
nection it might be stated that Gov
ernor Brown in the beginning of this
campaign stated that the real issue
is the enforcement of the law. If
this is the real issue, vernon
Brown should give his record while
Governor, relating to the granting
of pardons. Up to the present time
Governor Brown has not done this,
and for the information of the pub
lie, a friend of prohibition has taken
the trouble to 90 into the state rec
ords for the purpose of ascertainin5
how many pardons we're granted
by Governor Brown, and what num-
Der of these pardons were granted
in whiskey cases.
The records show t h at H 0 k e
Smith while governor in 1908 and
1909 granted total of 402 pardons
Joseph M. Brown while governor IN
the years 1910 and 1911 granted a
total of 526 pardons. 1t will thus
be seen that governor Brown grant
ed 1874 more pardons in his two
years than we're granted by Hoke
Smith.
Governor Brown, while complain
| Ing that the prohibition law could
not be inforced, granted total of
80 pardons in whiskey cases alone
during his administration. Some OF
these cases were the most notorluS
blind tiger cases in the state OF
Georgia, and the people of the sec
tions from which these cases came,
and in which they had been prose-
cuted, had spent great deal OF
time and considerable money and
effort after effort to secure the con-
yiction of the same men who were
pardoned by Governor Brown.

Results Of the Road
Improvement Train

Vast ington, D. c., Nov. 25.-lh2t
the good roads movement was
given most effectual impetus by the
Southern Railways Road Improve
ment Train" which made a sweep
ing tour through Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee, North Carolina,
Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia,
and Florida between May and Oc-
tober 81, is indicated in figures sum-
marizing results of the campaign
just made public. In the period of
six months during which time from
one to three demonstrations were
given daily, experts accompanying
the train instructed nearly $4,000
people in the art of building good
roads and keeping them in repair.
The train travelled a distance of
nearly 1880 miles, stopping at $50
towns which were located in 5O1
counties. The attendance at various
meetings ranged from a little less
than 100 to over 1900,
The method used in showing the
people the advantages of good roads
not only afforded an opportunity for
them to secure a practical education
on the subject Of highway construc-
ton but was so unique as to form a
source of real entertain ment for
those not directly intereste d in the
movement. The train consisted OF
three coaches, two Of which were
especially fitted up for demonstra-
ton. One contained working mod
els of good roads showing the vari-
GUS materials used in constr uction,
miniature road machinery shown in
actual operation, and enlarged pho
tographs showing every phase Of
the good roads problem. The other
car was equipped with a stereopticon
and illustrated lectures were con-
Quoted by the government represen-
tatives, showing in a very striking
manner the advantages Of good
roads over bad.
In some of the counties visited
the interest aroused by the train
was such that the people went &C
lively to work improving their roads,
voting for bond issues and employ
ing engineers to give skilled super
vision. A representative of the
Am erican Association for the High
way Improvement accompanied the
train for portion of the trip and
efficient work was done in organiZ-
ing branches of the association in
many of the counties.
The Southern Railway handled
the train without charges to the
government or the people in the
belief that greater prosperity will
result from construction of improv-
ed roads in the South Without a
single exception the work of the
Road Improvement Train" was
most heartily approved and in every
town there were heard unqualifi-
ed expressions of the of the work
and public spirit shown by the
Southern Railway in bearing the ex-
pense.
