These changes in the official force
of the company followed shortly
after the death in Atlanta few days
ago Of DR.. J. M. Couch, president.
The election Of Mr.. Couch, a broth
er OF the deceased, to the presidency
was foregone conclusion, as DR.
Couch had been in bad health for
some time and Mr.. Couch had long
been familiar with the duties of the
president. In fact, he had inauau-
rated many of the improvements and
had seen to the successful conduct
of the company's business.
Mr.. Mcmillan, the new vice-presi-
dent and treasurer, succeeded to the
management of the Atlanta office
nine years ago when Mr.. Couch went
to Memphis to assume management
of the Office there. Mr.. Mcmillan has
proven himself highly efficient and
has developed the company's bust
ness in this territory to a remark
able extent, relieving the late DR..
Crouch of much of the labor incident
to an organization of this magni-
tude.
The business of the company will
go along without interruption, so
thoroughly was the organization per-
fected. Both Mr.. Couch and Mr.. Nc
MILAN are thoroughly imbued with
the progressive spirit which charac-
terized the company under the pres
idency of the late DR.. Couch, who was
so widely known and esteemed.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win
the Peoples Confidence .

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are
extensively advertised. all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten? :?
The reason Is plain--the article did not
fulfill the promises Of tho manufa cturer.
This applies more particularly to a med
icine. A medicinal preparation that has
real curative value almost sells itself,
as like an endless chain system the
remedy is recommended by those who
have been cured, to those who are in
need OF 1t.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says: Take,
for example, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
a preparation have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recommend
for In almost every case 1t shows i'm
mediate results, as many Of my Gus
toners testify. No other kidney reme-
dy that know Of has so large a SALE"
The success Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that It fulfills
every wish in overcoming kidney. liver
and bladder diseases, corrects urinary
| troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism
A free trial bottle will be sent by
| mail, absolutely free. Address DR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
mention this paper. Regular size bot

That tho coming eighth annual con.

Harbors Congress, which will be held
in Washington, December 6, and s
will be Of the utmost Importance, Is
the opinion Of Congressman Joseph E.

to educate the public to the need OF

all friends of this idea to attend the
convention in order to impress the
lawmakers.
Experience of the past six years. Mr..
Ransdell says, has shown the benefit of
the National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress, since in that time appropriations
have increased over those of the pre-
ceding seven years more than Ss1, 900. 900.
An interesting program Is promised
for the coming meeting. Among those
who lead In the movement for par
ticular projects are J. Hampton Moore,

Imagine a man holding high position
in the business world, a position that
accords him the title of Captain Of In
dustry. Imagine he is named under
oath as the custodian of an immense
corruption fund raised to put across"
the election of a United States Senator
Imagine he is called upon by legisla-
tive investigating committee to appear
before it and tell what he knows about
the alleged transaction. Imagine him
clubbing with the committee about
the production Of books and documents
believed TO contain material evidence,
and finally, ignoring all demands for
detailed testimony. Imagine him, ar
rested by order Of the State Senate,
charged with contempt, because he re-
fused to obey the orders Of the COM
mittee. Would you think such a man
was acting with candor? Well, that is
exactly the position of Edward Tilden,
president of the National Packing
Company at Chicago whose assistance
is desired by the investigating commit
tee at Springfield in ferreting out the
truth about the election Of William
Lorimer. Why these strenuous efforts
to keep secret the documents called for
by the committee? It would seem that
one who has nothing to conceal would
not rest until he had with the help of
the committee, uncovered every shred
Of evidence bearing on the charge, 50

A newspaper or magazine, nova

contact with those sections and their

might help him to get into close touch

would do more summering in the West

him broader perspective, wider

Jail for Trust Officers.

Monday of this week three changes
in the Sherman antitrust law were
proposed in a bill introduced by Sena-
tor Kenyon of Iowa, who has just va
Gated the Office Of trust buster" in
the department of justice.
His bill would make jail sentences
compulsory for individual violators of
the law and would provide that pa
tent shall be forfeited where the paten-
tee joins with others to restrain trade
The third change would make illegal
the purchase or ownership of stock in
a competing corporation engaged in in
terstate commerce.

A SUMMER CAPITAL.
Milwaukee New.

Senator Kenyon Of Iowa is certainly a
progressive. He has suggested 70 the
president that he establish his summer
capital in the West. And Wisconsin is
the state he names. OF course he also
names his own state of Iowa and one
or two others. merely to be impartial
probably, but Wisconsin has high
place in his recommendation
The president could do worse than
that There are in Wisconsin many
ideal places for summer capital or
for any other kind Of summer resorting.
And some Of them are not too far from
good golf links. While Senator Ken
yons home state Of Iowa also has many
such places, Wisconsin yields TO no
state in the union in the possession Of
appropriate places for the president to
do his summer work If congress gives
him a chance 20 get away.
There would be some advantages in
the presidents coming to Wisconsin,
The advertising the state and its resort
possibilities would receive would be
worth a goodly sum to resort owners
and 70 merchants, farmers and garden
ers who supply them 1t would call
attention to Wisconsin in a pleasing
and worthy manner.
And it would also have its advantages
