stockholders In pernicious political
activities in every Southern State In
which the system operates.
He lillened the L. and n. to the
New Haven road, declaring that the
same disregard shown to public SEN
ttment in the East by the New Haven
is shown in the South by the Louis
vile and Nashville.
In discussing his resolution, Senator
Lea said:
IF the L. and n. Railroad is no
monopoly, has obeyed the law and Is
performing the duties of a public
servant and not the functions of a
potentate as it commended 1t should
welcome and court this investigation,
for it will be of the greatest advan-
tage to it and it's stockholders, be-
cause it will remove what would 9TH
erwise be a popular misapprehension
in the minds of the people of Tonnes
see. If the l.. and n. Railroad has
been and is guilty of the many
abuses, determinations and eXtor-
tons of which 1t is accused. then this
investigation is necessary, for the
people are entitled to know the facts,
so their legislators, both State and
national, may be able to legislate in
diligently to the end that these
abuses may cease and the L. and n.
become as it should, a law abiding
citizen.
This investigation means nothing
more or less than there should be
light on this question, and it turns
the pitiless light of publicity on the
ownership, methods and practices of
the L. and N Railroad and it's al
legged companies"

Judge ANDY" Calhoun isn't quite
so sure about the delights Of a farm

quaintance from down Coweta way a
few days ago.
The judge hadn't seen this friend OF
his early youth in many moons, and
the greeting W quite cordial.
Farming, Jim?" inquired the judge
"Yep!" said Jim. Making a pretty
fair success, 1 guess, too"
"Ah, f1ne!" spoke up the judge
There's nothing like the life on a
farm, the good, old fashioned, open
air way of living, anyway, is there,
Jim?' smiled the judge, putting wig
orously at his pipe the while he
talked.

RHEUMATIC PAINS
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Relief Comes After Taking Few
Doses Of CroYone.

It is needless to suffer with rheuma-
tism. and be all crippled up, and bent
out of shape with its heart-wrenching
pains. when you car avoid 1t.
Rheumatism comes from weak, inac-
tive kidneys, that fail to filter from the
blood the poisonous waste matter and
uric acid; and the only way to over
come II is to remove the cause.
Croxone does this because 1t neutral
ICES and dissolves the poisonous SUBJ
stances and uric acid that lodge in the
joints and muscles, to scratch and irri-
tate and cause rheumatism, and cleans
out and strengthens the stopped up, in
active kidneys. so they can filter the
poison from the blood. and drive 1t on
and out of the system.
Croxone is a truly acknowledgements
cine for rheumatism kidney troubles,
and bladder disorders. You will find it
differs from other remedies. There is
nothing else Just like it. 1t matters
not how old you are, or how long you
have suffered, it is practically impossi-
BILE to take It without results. Relief
follows the first few doses. and you
will be surprised how quickly all mis-
cry and suffering will end.
An original package of Croxone costs
but a trihe and all druggists are au-
thorized 10 sell II on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a day for
few days is often all that is ever
needed to overcome the worst back
ache or urinary disorders.

HOLDS WILSON HERE
President Unable to Attend Canal
Opening This Month, Owing
to Fiscal Bill.

the next two months have been set awry
by the realization that he must stick
closely in Washington If he hopes to push
currency legislation through Congress.
The President has abandoned hope OF
visiting Panama before the water is
turned into the canal Col. Goethals had
informed him that the water could be
held out until October Is, but the President
has resigned himself to the belief that
he cannot be away from Washington for
two weeks in October. Similarly he has
given up the idea of making an extended
visit to the summer capital. Harlaken-
den, at Cornish, n. H. 1t is possible,
however, that he may go to Harlakenden
for another weekend stay.
President Wilson tentatively has accept
ed an invitation to be present at the
opening of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress at Mobile, Ala, October Is. Also he
plans to witness the fall target practice
of the Atlantic feet in Hampton Reads.
Va, October IS. Both Of these engage
ments will be Cancelled unhesitatingly IL
the President thinks they will weaken his
position in demanding the enactment of
the administration currency bill.
