nothing else will do; but many times
doctors say they are necessary wher
they are not. Letter after letter comes
to the Pinkham Laboratory, telling how

If the struggle for independence
teaches anything it is that mysterious
and mighty unseen forces cooperate
with those who are working out God S
plan. Had it not been for the help of
such forces the result of that struggle
would have been entirely different.

HAD TO WAIT
FORTY DAYS
Long Time Before
England Got News
of the Battle of
Lexington

Vt SEEMS strange in these days
when news of the battles in far
away Europe is cabled to America
i within a few minutes after they Oc-
cur-when flying machines equipped
with machine guns are fighting each
other in the clouds-when advocates
Of preparedness are arguing that the
because of the swiftness of their
steam cruisers-to bark back to the
battle of Lexington, April 10, ITS,
and try to realize the length of time it
required for the news of that conflict
to reach England.
There were no telegraph wires, no
telephone, no dispatch boats or "spe-
cial correspondents" with each regi-
ment. A steam vessel had not then
been dreamed of. There were no
cables, no flying machines, no machine
guns. Only sailing vessels, of small
size, were available to cross the ocean,
and as consequence it took a long,
long time for the shot to be heard
around the world"
Dependent on Sailing Ships.
Journalism in America was then
in it's swaddling clothes. The race of
the enterprising journalist to outfoot
f1eet-footed Time had not then begun.
There was not the intense rivalry of
today between metropolitan papers,
with their specials and war eXtras-to
say nothing of baseball extras. There
was, too, similar lack of activity on
the part of editors in London.
The newspapers in Boston and 9TH
er nearby towns at that time were
published weekly, usually on Monday.
News of sanguinary events, if they
occurred during the week, was neces-
sarily held for publication until the
following Monday. It was not sur
prising, therefore, that the news of
the battles of Lexington and Concord
was not printed in Boston until April
25-for the idea of issuing an extra"
in such emergencies was not then in
vogue.
In the Essex Gazette.
The Essex Gazette, published at
Salem, had by far the best report of
the events of the day, with an almost
complete list of the killed and wound
ed. The news of this first encounter
between the provincials and his males
tvs troops was many hours in reach
ing the other colonies, although post
riders and expresses were started i'm
mediately for Hartford, New York,
Philadelphia and the South.
In two days nearly all the scattered
peoples of the young nation had been
Informed of the result, and the spirit
of the hour had inspired the raising

people of Great Britain the days had
been filled with anxiety. The main
question discussed was How far

.DORSEYS CROWDS
DON'T CRACK WALLS|
GOVERNOR HARRIS HAS FAILED
TO FIND SUCH LARGE CROWDS
TO HEAR DORSEY.

ATLANTA, Aug. 29.-In spite of the
most careful scrutiny and examina-
ton, Governor Harris has failed to
find single court house where the
walls were cracked by the audience
packed in to hear Hugh Dorsey pre-
sent his claims for governor accord
ing to statements in the Harris cam
paign headquarters. s q
Following the trial over which the
Fulton solicitor has recently Travelled
the governor was not certain, judging
by accounts in a certain Atlanta news
paper, whether he would find any
court house standing, but his appre-
tensions on this score were entirely
unfounded. Things are moving along
in about the same way they have al
ways moved, according to his head
quarters, and the governor has not
found a single court house in such a
condition as even to warrant an ex-
animation by the local building in
spector.
By way of showing the people
something of the extreme "feebleness"
of his health which his opponents
suddenly stopped talking about some
weeks ago, Governor Harris today
is seeking in eight different towns
along the Tennessee border in north
Georgia, making the trips from town
to town in an automobile.

The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1916-08-30

At least two men who have re-
Gently visited Brunswick now think
this is a sorry town. Those two men
whose names will not be given came
here TO place coupons and trading
stamps with the merchants. Finding
business dull they shook the dust of
Brunswick off their heels in a hur-
ny.
Not only do they think. Brunswick
lis a poor place for business, but they
don't like the reception accorded
them. When they landed in the city
last Friday r. V. Richards, Of the Re-
tail Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation got wind of it and got in
behind them. We have it on the au-
thority Of the two men that Secretary
Richards made it hot for them. He
kept right in behind them like the
dogs of Hades until they took their
farewell of Brunswick.
Secretary Richards only hopes that
they did take THEN ,ast farewell. 1t
will be remembered there was an eff
fort made in the Legislature at the
last session to pass the Moon bill
prohibiting the placing of coupons in
Georgia by out-of-state corporations.
The bill failed. The local merchants
at considerable expense sent Secre-
tary Richards to Atlanta to appear
in support of the measure for the To-
cal merchants. Failing in Atlanta the
campaign was taken up in Brunswick
where the coupons have been outlaw
ed. In this city-wide campaign the
following letter was sent to the mer-
chanst Of the city:
