Kidney Pills in the house. One of the

oack. He was down in bed for severa
days, unable to help himself. When

not straighten. Sharp. piercing pains
caught him across his loins. He hao

the trouble was worse. Nothing die

Mr.. Aswell's Meeting in Colfax.

Thursday evening about dusk
Hon. ]. B. Aswell, candidate for
Congress, arrived in Colfax, and
at $50 O'Clock addressed an au-
dience of fully two hundred peo-
pie in the court house for about
one hour and a half.
Capt. C. H. Teal called the
meeting to order and called upon
DR.. ]. L. Woodall to act as chair
man and introduce the speaker.
| H. G. Goodwin was requested
to act as secretary of the meet
ing.
DIR. Woodall, who was a school
mate with Mr.. Aswell. spoke in
glowing terms of the successful
and useful career of his old school
associate, and commended him
without reserve as the man We
need in Congress during tn,
present important crisis.
Mr.. AsweIl was greeted will
a round of applause that showed
him that he was surely in the
house of his friends. He ap-
peared vigorous and cheerful,
and so expressed himself, not
withstanding he had spent
most strenuous day, Ina wing
spoken already during the da.
at Wheeling, Verda. Hargis ant
Montgomery. at all of which
places he met with the most cor
dial and flattering reception.
In his usual pleasant and in
structive way Mr.. Aswell told of
his initial visit to Washington
City to get acquainted with tho
routine of affairs before enterin.
upon the actual duties of his of
flee, and of the great help tina
his preliminary observations had
been to him, in connection will
his personal acquaintance with
the President and members OF
the Cabinet. He then discussed
successfully the tariff bill, the
currency bill, income tax, rural
credits bill. immigration bill, the
Aswell bill for relief of settlers,
the Ruston postmaster appoint
men, his activities in establish
ing rural routes, etc. He has al
ready had II rural routes estab-
lished in this Congressional dis
trict, and has % others mapped
out for approval. He particular
ly complimented Grant parish
for having the greatest mileage
of completed good roads of any
parish or county of its size in tie
south. His statement of the
Ruston matter showed him to be
perfectly justified in his action,
and he had letters showing his
most cordial relations with Sena-
tor Ransdell and the Congress
man of that district in all that
was done.
Mr.. Aswell's bare reference to
the opposition" to him was par
ticularly appreciated by the au-
dience. He never called the
name of Mr.. Perrin in his entire
speech. and only mentioned tive
or three times the mere fact that
the opposition had criticised his
record. The large gathering was
plainly interested and sympa-
thetic with him from start tc
finish.
At the close of his address a
central Aswell campaign COM
mittee of seven was appointed as
follows: C. H. Teal. j. H. Nc
Nicely, M. E. Swafford, DR.. ]. L.
