There was famine in the land. and wherever he travelled in the bitter cold of that winter deserted farmhouses stared at him like hollow eyed ghosts of hopes abandoned.

Hardwick's Confident Of Wilson
Winning Fight.

MACON News.
New York, Aug. So. / am absolute
ly confident Of the election Of Wood
row Wilson, said Thomas w. Hard
wick Of Georgia. OF course Georgia
will give him an overwhelming maj
GRITTY, the largest she has ever given
presidential candidate. / am con-
fdent that Governor Wilson win be
elected for several reasons.
First, Because he possesses ell
ements Of strength among men Of
Independent thought and action,
who are are not closely and contin-
uously identified with any party in
any state of the unions
Second, Because he has a large fol-
lowing among those republicans who
are not satisfied with the latter day
performances, and are disguised
with both Taft and Roosevelt.
Third, Because the differences be-
tween the two factions Of the old re-
publican party are fundamental and
far reaching, and cannot be compro-
missed or adjusted. My judgement is
that this splitin the republican party
willcarry the Wilson ticket to victory
in almost every state in the union,
Fourth, Because Governor Wilson
is a man of ideals, of splendid mem
tality, and a sturdy character, who
appeals to the American people as no
candidate has in many years, and
who possesses the confidence aswell
as the respect of the masses of the
people. The American people know
that his administration will not be
under obligation to any OF the special
interests, and that it will stand for
theinterest Of the people themselves,
without having any special favorites
to pay off and reward. For all Of
these reasons and many others that

TINS Is The TINE OF YEAR WHEN THE,
NEED BLOOD PURIFIER.


There is scarcely any growing boy OF
girl who does not need blood remedy
at this time Of the year. 0verstudy, lack
Of proper attention to the bowels, I'M
proper or too much food, over-exertion,
ANY one of these or other causes are
often sufficient to cause serious blood dis
orders. If any person needs good rich
blood and plenty Of it, it is the growing
child. Upon it depends not only present
but future health, and to a very great
extent his appearance when full grown.
Pruett's Compound Extract of Sarsa-
psrilla is, in our opinion, a splendid
blood purifier. We know many cases
where it has quickly and completely re-
moved skin disorders, such as pimples,
blotches, boils, etc. We know it is made
Of medicinal agents highly esteemed ;or
the treatment OF the simpler blood dis
orders, and so we can conssientiously
stand back of it and guarantee it.

eiven better reeults in the various dis
orders arising from impure or impoyer-
ished blood than Prnett's Compound Elk

Fifteen years ago Gin August,
1877 lady who was a passenger
on train near Albany, after she
had eaten some fruit and thrown
the peeling through an open win
dow, vigorously wrung her hands to
rid them Of clinging particles Of the
fruit. A plain gold ring which did
not fit snugly slipped from one Of
her fingers and followed the peel
ings out Of the window. Springing
into the aisle, she pulled the signal
cord and stopped the train. Sec
onded by other passengers, she pre-
vailed on the conductor to back the
train a quarter Of a mile or so, and
the ring was found. The story was
written for the Penny Press by a
prominent Albanian who CHANGED
