A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT Tn EVERYONE

II is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other
organs to a remarkable degree and
do a tremendous amount OF work in
removing the poisons and waste mat
ter from the system by fltering the
blood.
During the winter months especi-
ally. when We live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some asss-
lance when needed, as We take less
exercise, drink less water and often
eat more rich heavy food thereby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended. Evidence OF
kidney trouble such as lame back,
inability to hold urine, smartng or
burning. brick.dust or sediment, sal.
low complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns
you that your kidneys require help
Immediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the most heal
ing influence. An ideal herbal com
pound that has had most remarkable
success as a kidney and bladder
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.Root.
You may receive sample
bottle OF Swamp-Root by mail, abso.

NO WHITE SLAVE" TRIAL
Because Woman Accused Pleaded
Guilty 70 Attempt TO Violate Law.

Because Woman Accused Pleaded
Guilty TO Attempt to Violate Law.
Burlington, March 20.-There will
be no trial in Chittenden county
court of the alleged white slave
case which was scheduled to start
this morning Nina Coates, alias
Sarah Coates, who was charged with
trying to entice two young Richmond
girls to leave their homes and enter
a life of shame in Boston, came into
court late yesterday afternoon and
pleaded guilty to an attempt to violate
act 22S of the laws of 1910, an act to
prevent what is known as the white
slace traffic" On her plea OF guilty
and upon the recommendation OF
States Attorney H. b. Shaw and At
torney-General j. G, Sargent, Mrs.
Coates was sentenced by Judge Miles
to serve not less than seven nor more
than eight months at hard labor in
states prison. Attorney r. Il. Brown
appeared for Mrs Coates and the plea
of guilty was entered by the respon-
dent after several consultations be
tween Mr. Brown and the state au-
thorities.
The Coates case was of such ma
ture that the state authorities decid
ed that a compromise should be ar.
ranged whereby the young girls in the
case would be shielded and the public
would be spared the recital of the de
tails of bad case. In short, Mr.
Shaw and Mrs Sargent did not be.
lieve the case was fit to be tried in
open court.
The plea of guilty by Mrs. Coates
was made under a provision in the
public statutes, section $3.50, relating
to attempts to commit an offense.
This section holds that a person who
attempts to commit an ofense and
does an act toward the commission
thereof but, by reason of being pre-
vented, fails in the execution of the
same, may plead guilty to an attempt
and receive a sentence of one.half the
penalty that could be imposed for the
complete act. Mrs. Coates, therefore
pleaded guilty to an attempt to VIC
late act 228 OF the laws of 1910 and
| received a sentence of one.half the
minimum penalty that could have
been imposed under conviction OF
having completed the act of violating
the white slave law
Alden Emery, son Of Mrs. Coates
who was arrested in connection with
the same case, pleaded guilty today Ia
violation of the law concerning
marital relations, Emery being a
married man. He was sentenced tC
the state prison for two years.

out much literature charging that in
asmuch as the New Jersey governor
had not supported the regular Dem

TEN HOURS
CLEARING
WRECKAGE
OF TRAIN ON THE CENTRAL
Cause of DGraiIMGRt is Still
Unknown

The wreck of Central freight train
No. 45, near Andersonville, was clear
ed away at an early hour yesterday
morning, and trains permitted to pass,
after delay of about ten hours, dur
ing which time several transfers were
necessitated, both of passengers and
perishable express.
The cause of the wreck is not known
except that box car in the middle of
the long freight train jumped the
rails and pulled ten others down with
it.
The scene of the accident was near
the end of high embankment, down
which some of the cars tumbled. Two
cars were smashed into splinters and
others injured to less extent The loss
of merchandise was not considerable,
while none of the train crew were in
jured.
One car contained a large shipment
of candy, which was scattered about
the wreck, and hungry passengers de-
layed there felt in a manner compen-
stated as they enjoyed the sweets.

CENTRAL REFUSED The
ADDITIONAL SERVICE
Asked For on SmithViIIe. Eu.
fauIa Branch

The request for additional train
service on this division of the Central
railway has been refused by officials
of the road, and the only appeal would
be to the railroad commission, and it
is a matter of doubt if it will be car
ried there. The proposition has been
thoroughly threshed out, with the re-
suit as stated.
This, it will be recalled, was the
request made by citizens of Dawson,
Bronwood, Fort Gaines, Cuthbert and
other towns between Smithville and
Eufaula, for the putting on of an early
morning train from Eufaula to Smith
vile, where it would connect with the
early train coming to Americas and
to Macon. A meeting of citizens di-
rectly interested was held with the
Central's officials in Macon a day or
two ago and the matter discussed at
length.
Mr.. J. c. Halle general passenger
agent of the Central, heard the MEM
bers of the committee at length. He
did not believe that the service de-
sired would be accorded patronage
sufficient to render the additional train
remunerative and the company, there
fore. would have to decline the re-
quest.
Americas merchants were interested
in the proposed new service, and it is
a matter of regret that it cannot be
allowed.

SAID She
WOULD FAINT
Mrs. Della Long Unable to Stand
On Her Feet More Than a Few
Minutes at a Time.

Pendergrass, Ga.-Mrs. Della Long,
of this place, in recent letter, says:
For five or six years, | suffered agon-
les with womanly troubles.
Often, | couldn't sit up more than
few minutes at time, and If l stood
on my feet long, I would faint.
l took Cardui, and it helped me i'm.
mediately. Now. can do my work all
the time and don't suffer like | did.
Take Cardui when you feel Ill in any
way-weak, tired, miserable, or under
the weather. Cardui is a strength
building tonic medicine for women.
1t has been found to relieve pain and
distress caused by womanly troubles,
and is an excellent medicine to have on
hand at all times.
Cardui acts on the womanly consti-
tuition, building up womanly strength,
toning up the nerves, and regulating
the womanly organs.
It's half century of success is due to
merit. 1t has done good to thousands.
VIII you try 1t? 1t may be just what
you need Ask your druggist about
Cardui. He will recommend it.

District Society Meets at
COrdeIG Nov. 20

The Medical Society OF the Third
Congressional district is to be invited
to hold its 1918 annual meeting in
Americas. Last year the society had
a very successful meeting here, large
ly attended by doctors from all over
the district. So pronounced a sue
cess was this meeting that it is be-
lieyed it will not be difficult to induce
the medicOs to meet here again.
This year the society will hold it's
annual session at Cordele, on No
vember 20. Many Americas physi-
clans, as well as those in other parts
of the county, are expected to attend.
The invitation from the Sumter Coun-
ty Medical society will then be ex-
tended by its president, DR.. L. A.
Grub.
Americas, in addition to Hospitality
entertaining its guests, is admirably
located for doctors all over the dis
trict, and that is a decided factor in
making this popular gathering point.
