Retired Georgia Planters
AdViGGtO Kidney Sufferers

Regarding the wonderful curative mer-
its of your Swamp-RoOt, cannot say toe
much. After suffering severely for three
years or more with severe pains caused
by weak kidneys I was finally indhced
to try Swamp-Root through testimonial
I read in one of the newspapers. I was
in such a condition that l was obliged to
arise from my bed six or eight times every
night. I purchased a fifty-cent bottle
and before it was used felt so much re
lief that purchased a one-dollar bottle
and by the time this was taken the old
pains had left my back and l could sleep
the whole night through. I am a retired
planter, 70 years Ofage. and owing to Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, I am in the best
of health and feel like boy. l am all
ways glad to recommend Swamp-Root to
those who are in deed of it.
Sincerely yours,

MANY BILLS FOR
 SHORT SESSION
Congress to Meet Next Monday for Last Time Under Re-
 publican Rule.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-Con will recon yene a week from December 2 for the last short session of Republican con- trol in national legislation.
 While the vexing question of the tariff is not scheduled for considera- ticn this winter. the three months of the short session will be crowded with legislative work. In addition to the annual grist of appropriation bills, congress will be forced to dispose of quantity of general and special legisla- tive matter left pending with the ad- lournment of the long session in Au- gust.
 During the early part of the session tie fouse will be busy shaping appro- prlation bills, while the senate is dis posing of the impeachment trial of Judge Robert W. Archibald of the Com merce court, set to begin December ,.
 Several important measures will be pushed for early action in the senate, among them the resolution of Senator Works of California to limit the presi. dent to single six-year term: the Sheppard-Kenyon bill prohibiting the shipment of liquor into prohibition states and the vocational education bill of Senator Page of Vermont. The hill nf partment of Labor also is scheduled for early consideration.
 The Department of Labor bill has passed the house, but that body still wouid have to act upon the vocational education bill and the six-year presi- dential term measure, if they passed the senate. The prohibition. liquor measure will be pushed in the house by Representative Sheppard of Texas, who will succeed Senator Bailey in the next congress.
 senator Kenyon's bill amending the Sherman law, which has been before the Senate Interstate Commerce Com mittee. undoubtedly will be brought up for early action in the senate.
 Efforts will be made during the ses- sion to repeal at least part of the Canadian reciprocity tariff agreement The attempts failed last summer when the repeal was attached to various Democratic tariff bills.
 Congressmen now in Washington do not expect any action on currency leg isla ion during the short term.
 In addition to these measures, the calendars of both houses are crowded with bills of more or less importance, most of which will de with the pass iEg Of the Sixty-third congress with, out even having been discussed.

 The prospective action was announc. ed following receipt in Los Angeles Of telegram from Governor John son at Sacramento beginning: Tt is reported in the press here that the Progressives are going to quit The telegram urged the contrary attitude.

 Several years ago several of these traders came to Little Rock and plac- ed on sale a miscellaneous lot of dry goods and merchandise and conducted A biz advertising campaign in which they advertised that they had secur. ed their stock from a railroad wreck and that they were selling first class goods below the cost of manufacture
 Local merchants got together and discussed plans for ridding the town of these traders and keeping the peo- pie from being victimized.
 A plan was finally decided upon which proved successful and rid the city of the undesirable foreign mer chants. Several merchants sent men to the "sale" and had them purchase sone of their advertised goods. Upon examination of these goods they wer' found to be below the quality and texture advertised whereupon the mer chants appealed to the law and were successful in forcing the traders to leave the city

 NEWS AND NOTES
Governor Issues Statement An- swering Criticism for Action
 During State Fair.
WANTS TSGOVERNM MEMT CONTROL
Says Officials and Former Officers Have Neglected Duties Regarding
 Law Enforcement.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Governor Donaghey issued lengthy statement here last week on account of criticism of news papers in Hot Springs and Memphis. eriticisng his stand on Sunday law enforcement in Hot Springs when he stopped the fair association from charging admission to the races on Sunday.
 He characterizes in strong terms some of the actions of Hot Springs officials and former officials in the matter of law enforcement. He says that the city of Hot Springs gives more trouble to the state of Arkansas than all the others put together and says he will recommend to the next legislature that it request congress to take charge of the city and place it under strict control.
 His statement in part follows:
 Ny attention has been called to a criticism given me by correspondent from Hot Springs in Memphis papers and others. Also have been sent clip pings by friends in Hot Springs of what some of the local papers there are saying about me. These com plaints state in part:
 Feeling was intense against the governor The effect of the official visit of Gov. Donaghey to Hot Springs was that the Arkansas State Fair As sociation was approximately deprived of revenue of S6,000.'
 The cause of the complaint is that the fair association lost the $6,000.
 Any action that costs the powers that be now in Hot Springs money that they have planned to get infuriates them. It matters not what the ob- leetions of society to the methods en- ployed by them to get this money may be-
 They complain that I have been negligent in my attendance at the state fair The state fair is such only in name.
 The state as state has no interest Tn Il, has promised it nothing, owes it nothing now nor will it ever appro- priate anything toward the mainten- ance Of the state fair now in Hot springs, so long as it is run as it is. The enterprise is handled by private interests and like any other business matter, must stand or fall on it's own merits.
 If the state fair has made money, iocal interests get the benefit of it; II il has lost. they lose.
 The governor officially is under no more obligation to attend the open Ing Of this institution than he is to attend the annual opening of the foa,aeTn club. the Kentucky club, c tne Arkansas club, all of which gre supposed to be high-class gambling hedses. Certainly, if they could in uQce the governor to attend their openings and sessions it would lend uignlty to their standing and bring many lambs to the shearing pen.
