AT Bristol, Va, few days ago, Charles
Bays, aged 45 years, choked to death
suddenly when a goitre which had de-
veloped on his throat in the last few
months became wedged under the collar
bone, closing the windpipe. He fell in a
struggle for breath and was hurried to a
surgeon. An iucision was made in the
throat and tube inserted, but he was
dead before an air passage could be
forced.

In the Roosevelt convention at Charles
ton on Tuesday there appears to have
been no representative from Jefferson
county. This is probably because no one
knows which is the safe side of the polit-
ical fence. But all the same, the sheep
and the goats will be divided at the last
even if they are all goats.

THE Senate last week passed the ex-
else tax bill, a measure originated in the
House of Representatives, the Democrats
and progressive Republicans uniting ir
its favor. This is wise and just measure
that levies tax upon the incomes OF all
persons and corporations in excess o.
5000 a year. The country demands
such a measure and / ought to become
law, but like as not the President will
veto it.

THE Bull Moose movement is dragging.
The crest OF the wave of enthusiasm was
reached duringthe Republican convention
at Chicago, and ever since the tide has
been receding. Sober second thought
has caused good many politicians to be
cautious about committing themselves to
a losing cause, while diScord prevails
among the most active leaders as to the
best methods of conducting the fight
most of them are heady fellows determin-
ed to have their own way.
The one great obstacle for the Roose-
welt people, however, is that Woodrow
Wilson offers relief from every condition
ef which they complain, and offers it
more certainly and satisfactorily than they
can ever hope from Colonel T. r.

STRANGE NEN LIQUID
People Who Suffered for Years
And Who Never Expected
to Get Well are Fast
Recovering and
Whole State is
Interested.

So great has been success of the
famous new Root Juice medicine in
Atlanta during the rast few weeks,
that pc pie all over the state have be-
come interested and reports of remark
able experiences are Leglnning to come
from all directions.
Among the latest and most remarka-
BILE cases that have been brought to
light is that of Mrs E. Strom, a well
known resident of Marietta, Ga., who
has for over six years suffered from
stomach and kidney trouble and whom
eight doctors and a number Of different
medicines failed to cure. In speaking
Of the strange experience with the
Root Juice treatment Mrs. Strom said:
"My. arnetite was poor, my food
would not digest and [ suffered fright
fully. Gas would form in my stomach
and cause belching, Sometimes l
would become sick at Che stomach
and frequently suffered from head
aches, I had severe backaches and
pains over my kidneys. I was weak,
run down and nervous and at times I
could not Sleep When I began to
hear 80 much about the new Root
Juice treatment decided to try it and
now, after using only two bottles, /
find myself greatly benefited. I am
beginning to feel fine. For the first
time in four years I am able to work
about the house. I certainly do not
regret any money I spent for this
great medicine for the two bottles l
used have done more for me than all
the doctors and medicines trie6 in
eight years."
Another remarkable case is that of
Mr.. Joseph Bradner Of Jackson, Ga,
whose gned statement says that af-
ter using two bottles of the juice,
rheumatism left him, the swelling dis
appeared and he feels better than for
years.
Reports similar to these coming from
all parts of the State seems to prove
beyond all doubt that the new medi-
cine is effecting wonderful results in
cases of rheumatism, weak kidneys,
backache, headaches, nervousness. in
digestion, belching, loss of appetite,
pains after meals and other symptoms
Of weak or disordered stomach, liver,
kidneys or bowels"
It can be obtained of any well stock
ed druggist and in view Of the great
benefit hundreds Of sufferers are deriv-
ing every day it would seem advisable
for home people who seek speedy
cure to give it thorough trial.
