A WARNING TO MANY.
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases
of serious illness makes chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly the other
organs cannot readily be brought
back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way serious results are
sure to follow According to health
statistics Bright's disease, which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913 in the state of New
York alone. Therefore it behoOYes
us to pay more attention to the
health of these most important or
gans.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. KiImer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony of
those who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention and wish a sample
bottle write to DR.. K'lmer & Co.,
Binghamton, n. Y. Mention this pa
per. enclose ten cents and they will
gladly forward it to you by parcel
post.
Swamp Root is sold by every drug
gist in bottles of two sizes-5Oc and
$100.

gia will be profoundly shocked at
news of the sudden death early Sun
day morning of Charles Swift North
en-, for twenty years identified with
the Georgia state senate, three years

ed with acute Indigestion, and al
though everything possible was done,

"BANKER" OLIVER TO
EAT TURKEY IN JAIL
Friends of Man Under Arrest at Lees
burg Are to Provide Meat and
Cranberry Sauce For Him.

LEESBURG, Ga.-"Banker' Oil
yer will spend Thanksgiving day in
the Lee county jail. Though he was
acquitted recently at the November
term of the Lee superior court of one
of the charges against him he is be-
ing held for trial on several other
charges, which will keep aim in Jail
here for some time.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
will be in prison on turkey day Oliver
will be well treated by his friends
here. Turkey and cranberry sauce
and the other trimmings that go to
make next Thursday a day of thanks
will not be wanting for Oliver. He
probably has more friends in Lees
burg than any other part of Lee
county, so these friends will see that
generous supplies of Thanksgiving
dainties will go toward Frightening
the day for the former Climax bank
err. 1t is said here that oliver, if he
is finally released, as he expects to
be, will open a banking business
here. Stationery with the Leesburg
address on it has already been print

of his here, and the banking business
conducted by Oliver elsewhere in Lee
county formerly will be reopened
here as soon as all the charges
against him have been disposed of
satisfactorily.

PHINIZY DOUBTS THE BIG
CORN YIELD CLAIMS BY BOYS
Willing to Bet $500 to 500 on 200
Bushels to the Acre Claim.


AUGUSTA, Ga.-JacOb Phinizy,
president of the Georgia railroad, is
still a doubter when it comes to big
yields of corn per acre in Georgia.
Mr.. Phinizy does not believe that Lu-
Their Alfred of Jasper county, credited
at the Macon fair with having made
222.17 bushels of corn to one acre,
got anywhere near that amount. In
fact, he doubts if as much as 15O
bushels were actually made. He wants
to wager $500 against 500 that 900
bushels of corn cannot be produced
in Georgia on one acre of upland,
without irrigation, the parties to use
as much fertilizer as they see fit
Mr.. Phinizy thinks it strange that no
notice has been taken of his propo-
sitions along the contrasting line for
the last few years.
