THE TRUE TEST,

Tried in Americas, 1t Has Stood The
Test.
The hardest test is the test of time
and Doan's Kidney Pills have stood
it we'll in Americas. Kidney sufferers
can hardly ask for stronger proof than
the following:
]. M. Oliver, Of Americas, Ga, says:
Il can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
as an excellent remedy, for they did
me more good than all the other prep
arat,ons l ever tried. I suffered from
a dull pain in the small of my back
which bothered me day and night and
the secretions from my kidneys Were
"Doan's Kidney Pills cured me about
pains still remained. 1t was finally
my good fortune to learn of Doans
Kidney Pills and l procured a supply
at Dodson's Pharmacy. They helped
me from the first, and in a short time
| was cured. Statement given July

The Griffin Herald was a bright lit
tie daily, conducted by progressive
and experienced newspaper men. But
its brief lie of seven or eight months
simply demonstrated again what has
been demonstrated so many times be-
fore, that town of eight or ten thous-
and people cannot support two daily
papers, aud every effort in that di-
rectim has proved financially disas-
trous to those attempting it, Even
Rome, Win 5000. nearly all white, has
settled down to one paper Athens
has but one, Albany one, Americas but
one, Brunswick would be far better
off with one well supported than two
stIugg';i " to hold up. The enormous
increase IL the expenses of publishing
q daily in recent years has put an
end to the era of two or three papers
in small cities. Even in the large cit
les the number of dailies is steadily
ot'leaSlng. Baltimore now has but
three, Philadelphia has less than ten
years ago, New York probably the
same, and similar conditions exist all
over the country.
or making newspapers, that is the
starting of newspapers, there is APP
pareptly no end, and of the early
death and burial o fthe great bulk
of them the same condition holds true.
Business men have learned that one
we'll conducted paper in a city, sup
ported sufficiently to make it creditable
to the town, is far better than two
weaklings. Griffin is the latest Illus
tration of this fact.

THE LAND OF SOMEWHERE.
edward NJ. Betowoski.)

To the lovely land of Somewhere,
Lying far beyond our woe,
We sailors on the Sea OF Life
viii ever yearn to go.
For oh, it's such a pleasant land,
With its dwellings built of dreams,
With its wonderous hills of pleasure,
And it's fancy fashioned streams.
With its valleys of contentment,
Where the little blue birds sing
In among the fadeless flowers,
To a never ending spring
But the coin-constructed vessel,
Or the ships of fame and pride,
Or the thousand little rOwboats,
With selfish load INSIDE.
Will not bear us to it's harbor,
Will not land us on its beach,
For the lovely land of Somewhere
Lies far out beyond their reach
Some have said I'VE cannot find it,
In a tear-tossed, mortal sea;
We must wait that strange, dark yes
sci,
Sailing to Eternity"
But there is a craft to bear you--
So let not your hope decrease
You can reach the Land of SomeWher
In the little airship-'Peace"

We are supporting John T.
Michel for governor of Louisiana
simply and merely because we be-
lieve him to be the best man of
the three candidates in the race.
1t is said that he is a boss. We
accept this to be a fact, as Mr..
Michel has admitted it. The
Gazette prefers to support boss
rather than a man who bows to
the dictates of a boss. This
charge has no terrors for US. 1t is
a cry that has been heard from
time immemorial, and will con-
tinue to be made so long as there
are politicians who crave for
Office and are fenced out of the
public pasture. 1t is admitted
that Mr.. Michel is a polished
gentleman, and his opponents
will bear testimony to the fact
that he has not DETAINED the
characters ofhis competitors-Dr.
Aswell and Judge Hall. He is
making quiet, dignfied cam
paign, and because of this he is
attracting to him thousands OF
thoughtful men. Mr.. Michel will
be elected. He will win out in the
first primary.-West Carol

Recalling the terrible disaster OF
the battleship Maine in Havana
harbor Is years ago, the French
battleship Liberte has been de-
stroyed in time of peace by an ex-
plosion, with the loss of several
hundred lives. In this case, how
ever, no blame can be placed on
any outside influence, as the ex-
plosion followed a fire on the ves-
sci which reached the magazines
while the crew was fighting to
save the ship. The reports say
the men fought heroically, with
no thought of personal safety.
Apart from the frightful loss of
life the disaster is an especially
serious one to France at this time
of impending war as the battle
ship was one of the best in the
French navy.

Mr.. Mlchel's Lake Purchase.

There is something extremely
funny in the story told by the
States that among the land pur-
chases made of the public lands of
Louisiana by Mr.. Michel was a
navigable lake of about 100 square
miles of area. 1t is almost a re-
petition of the experience of the
hungry man at the restaurant who
ordered boiled eggs, but got a
chicken, feathers and all in each.
To get chickens at the price of
eggs might be a bargain, but to
buy land and get hundred
square miles of navigable lake
looks like losing game. But it
was the state that put up the job.
1t is impossible to blame Michel
for that.-Picayune.

President Taft on his journey
across the continent has met with
chilly receptions. The purpose
of his trip is to explain why he
vetoed the Wool Bill and the
Farmers Free List Bill. These
measures were intended to give
relief to the people of the country
from the extortions of the trusts.
Mr.. Taft's excuse for the veto
which he is making on his trip is
that his tariff commission has not
reported their investigation of the
tariff law. The people know they
are being robbed by the high
tariff and they do not want red
tape business about reducing it.
1t is very much feared that
when President Taft returns from
his visitto the Pacific coast, after
he has seen the attitude of the
people he will decline to run for
the presidency next year. The
Democrats are very anxious for
Taft to make the run because he
would be very easy man to de-
feat.

After suffering for more than a
decade indignities heaped upon
him by less worthy men, Admiral
Schley is fully indicated. One OF
the witnesses against him in the
Schley court of inquiry, Captain
Chadwick of the cruiser New York,
! declares in his history of the
Spanish American war, just pub
lished, that the "loop" of Schley's
flagship, the Brooklyn, at the bat
tie of Santiago was entirely just
flied. To the lay mind it may
seem that this latter day vindica-
ton is hardly needed inasmuch as
the results OF the battle were them
selves sufficient proof of the
soundness of Admiral Schley's
judgment. Nevertheless it is of
some importance that one of his
foremost opponents as to the
tactical value of the famous "loop"
should tardily concede what the
American public has always held
10 spite of the navy cabal at
Washington-thatA Admiral Schley
was a brave and gallant officer in
the battle of Santiago, as we'll as
q brilliant tactician, and that he
we'll deserved recognition as the
hero of the day.
