A truthful statement of a Milford

merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. If you
suffer from backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, urinary disorders or any
form of kidney ills, use a tested kidney
medicine. Ez.5R,s....alE

Twas annoyed by attacks of kidney
complaint There was distressing pain
through my loins and l had trouble with

the complaint worse. Doan's Kidney
Pills suited my case exactly and l no.

Mr.. BROkDHURST TO Make

viii Retire From Jewelers.
Business

Mr.. r. S. Broadhurst who for twen-
tyrone years continuously mas been
with James Fricker &, Bro. as expert
jeweler and matchmaker, aas resigned
therefrom and will, in a brief time, be
succeeded in that capacity by Mr..
Donald Drukenmiller, of Americus.
who for several years has been con
nected in that capacity with the jew
elry establishment of Mr.. T. L. Bell
1T will be my first respite from
work in twenty-one years" said Nj
Broadhurst yesterday, but need tn ;
relaxation from close confinement,
while my other business interests de-
mand all of my attention"
Mr.. Broadhurst has considerable
realty interests in Sumter, which has
proved quite profitable and in addition
to this he will push the manufacture
and sale of AmeriCola, the popular
drink which his company manufactures
here, giving to it especial attention.
Mr.. Logan Wallis will after November
l, be connected with the Ameri-Coa
Co, as travelling salesman.
The two changes mentioned will be
effective within the next day or two,

PRIMARY VOTERS
REGISTERING At
A SNAIL'S SPEED
BOOKS TO close SATURDAY
Less Than 200 Names Cd the
Lists to Date

Less than 200 of the $50 democratic
voters of Americas had registered up
to yesterday for the aldermanic pri-
mary to be held on 18th inst, and il
seems at this stage that the total reg
istered list will be much smaller this
time than in several years. AS 4
rule the registration for a primary
here exceeds 700 and not infrequent!y
goes near the limit.
With less than one-fourth the total
number registered thus far, and with
less than three days remaining in
which to qualify, it would seem that
little interest is going to manifested in
the primary on 18th.
The registration books will be finally
closed at ~ o'clock, noon, on Satur-
day next, and only those who are reg
istered will be permitted to vote in
the primary for aldermen Even if
all the diliatory ones appeared at the
clerks office at this late date, it
would be difficult for them to register
within the brief time remaining. One
must go in person to register.
Candidates are slow in making their
formal announcements, and little is to
be heard regarding the probable tick
cts to be put out.

MACON Will Use THIS AS
ARGUMENT IN EFFORT TO
MOVE CAPITOL FROM ATLANTA

Atlanta, Oct. 22.-Secretary of State
Phil Cook makes the starting declar-
alton that the dropping of chance
match or cigarette, under present con
diticns at the capitol, might complete
~ wipe out the historic records of
Georgia in the state archieyes.
Such calamity, Mr. Cook points
out, would be terribly serious thing
from practical as well as sentimental
and historical reasons, and says that
the legislature at its next meeting viii
be urged to make a special appropria-
ton of several thousand dollars to
protect the records.
According to MIR Cook, the records
