WHEN YOUR LIVER GOES WRONG
Nearly Everybody Needs Liver Slim.
uIant at One Time or Another,

Nearly everybody now and then is
annoyed with a sluggish, lazy liver or
by constipation or by biliousness.
1t is for this reason that Dodson's
Liver-Tone is such a good medicine
to keep always in the house.
Either children or grown-ups can
take Dodson's Liver-Tone without bad
after-effects and without restriction OF
habit or diet. 1t is a vegetable liquid
with pleasant taste, but a reliever
of constipation and liver troubles, and
entirely takes the place of calomel.
The Howell-Prather Pharmacy guar
antees every bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone they sell. 1t costs so cents pei
bottle, and if you are not satisfied that
it is worth the money. they will hand
your half dollar back to you with a
smile.
Don't be fooled by preparations imi-
tating the claims of Dodson's Liver
Tone. Just remember the Howell-Pra-
Their Pharmacy will give you back
your money if Dodson's Liyer-Tone
fails you. That is a guarantee that

which will require the diplomatic gen

There is no question as to that He

it is only the form and not the spirit
and that he acquired the office by
methods which would not be tolerated
for moment in this country, or in
anly other country of equal enlight-

is the provisional president.
Our government does not recognize
him as such officially, but it is com

GETTING HISTORY STRAIGHT.

At a meeting of Confederate veter-
ans at the recent Gettysburg celebra-
ton resolution was passed declar-
resulted otherwise, for if the 5000
soldiers of the South under such com
manders as Lee and his generals lost
I'VE see that the demonstration was
complete, that the thing could not be
done, and our failure must give pause
to those who in the future, wou!1
contemplate such an undertaking. Thu
argument from a Confederate source
is of an original nature, but as far is
it goes it is sound
AS the impossible was attempted the
result was certain. A slave republic
side by side with one that was free
could not get along peaceably. The
Mississippi was never designed for
two jurisdictions. How could tran
guilty be expected on an inland FROM
tier stretching from the Atlantic to
the Pacific? The mountain people If
the South were for the old flag They
could have been held only by force
immigration flowed to the North al
most exclusively, and there was con-
centrated the bulk of national wealth.
1t is true, as quantity stated, that
"the thing could not be done" if Lee
and his veterans could not accomplish
it, But there are stronger reasons
why failure was foredoomed to be the
result of the Confederate cause. They
are grandly stated in Lincoln's ora
ton. The cause of republics, all hum
anity, was at stake. If the United
States went to wreck what hope re-
manned for any nation so constituted
Two, divided against each other,
would be a sorry remnant of the one
founded by Washington and the gene"-
ais and statesmen associated with him.
If Lees army had been twice as
strong slavery would have gone down
eventually. 1t has been abolished in
all civilized countries. The Unit III
States pursues the destiny that, in I
general way was intended by its foun-
ders. Happily, the former Confeder-
ates are as patriotic as any citizens.

WALL STREETS SNARLING

The opposition of the big banks III
New York to the currency bill now
pending in congress was to be expect
ed. Nothing that will in the least
loosen the grip of Wall street on the
finances of the country could meet tie
approval of the group of men who, by
permission and with the assistance Of
the republican party during the past
twenty years, has had the money of
the whole people in it's avaricious
grasp. Testimony taken by the Pujo
committee in it's hunt of the money
trust last winter showed the enorm-
Gus profits made by certain Of the
banks in the metropolis, and it is nog
twentieth century business" to let g
of such a free-fiowing teat without re-
monstrance.
That this remonstrance comes ve:v
near threat, shows to what lengths
the buccaneers of finance are prepar-
ed to go. Fooled in their attempt to
keep their grip through an advisory
committee on the federal reserve
board, provided for in the Glass cur
rency bill, committee, which was t.
have the sole right to initiate matters
before the reserve board, leaving the
board itself merely a figurehead with
power only to carry out the schemes
of the advisers, they are now MAX
ing violent protests against the Nc
Adoo plan to deposit government
funds where they will be accessible
for the needs of crop movement OF
course the Wall street gang won't get
their rake-off on this money, hence
their walls. Nothing that does not paw
tribute to them is to be permitted to
go through if they can help it, no
matter how much the whole people
are benefited 1t is mighty satisfac-
tory to know that under the present
regime at Washington the scheme
and pirates will get no show at all.
The New York World hits the nail
squarely on the head in these words:
mo influence has been more urgent
for currency reform than that of
Wall street, but it has nothing save
abuse for a system of reform when
substitutes government control for
banking control. No influence has
been louder than this for an elastic
currency to meet the varying seasonal
needs of business. But when the treas
ury secretary tries to impart SOM \
elasticity in the only way he can with
out letting Wall street collect a com
mission on the expansion, he is greet
ed as a clumsy amateur in finance"
And vet there are those who wonder
why Wall street is unpopular

MORE EQUAL RIGHTS FOR GEOR-
GIA

The action of the Georgia legislature
in the passage of the recently enacte
bill giving to mothers equal rights
will give satisfaction to the courtesy
and chivalry of the people of Georgia,
Especially to the men of the state, ii
whose favor the law has been framed
hitherto, whether Intentionally Or
otherwise. The element of equal
rights embodied in the law will ap-
peal to every fair-minded citizen. o.
the bill the Atlanta Journal remarks
The Legislature has earned the pub
lies entire approval by its enactment
of bill which recognizes the right or
mothers to an equal claim with fata-
ers for the custody of minor children.
This just and wholesome measure
frees the Georgia law from discrim
nation that is abhorrent to the
thought of modern times and enlight-
ened people Though the practical
wisdom of our courts has for the most
part tempered the harshness of a sta
tute that was handed down from the
darker times of old England, the fact
remained that under the letter of the
law mothers right to the possession
of her child, N cases of domestic con-
troversy, was unconsidered The neN
law is admirably simple and fair; its
substance is contained in the following
paragraph:
"In all cases where the custody
of any minor child or children is
involved between the parents there
shall be no prima facie right to
the custody of such child or chill
dren in the father; but the court
hearing such issue of custody may
exercise its sound discretion, TAX
ing into consideration all the cir
cumstances of the case, as to
whose custody such child or chill
dren shall be awarded, the duty of
the court being in all such cases
in exercising such discretion to
look to and determine solely what
is for the best interests of the
child or children and what will
best promote their welfare and
happiness"
The virtue of the measure lies in
the fact that it removes the discrimin-
alton which hitherto has lodged
as inst the mother and, while placing
both parents ON an equality, gives
prime consideration to "the welfare
and happiness of the child" From re
reasonableness and righteousness CT
such a law, there can be no fair-mind-
ed dissent.
The bill passed both Houses by sub
stantial majorities, only two votes be-
ing recorded against it in the Senate

This Continental Congress was the
/ first body of men at that time sitting
in any of the parliaments of the
world. These statesmen had the cour-
Iage to break an old order, the valor
to maintain new one, and the wis.,
dom to fortify it with laws and a
constitution. The first and second
Congress of our nation comprised the
flower Of the character of that age.
AS whole body they ruled higher
for talents, firmness, and good judg-

known to history. =
So when it came to a division be-
tween allegiance to England and a
complete separation from the mother
