! en- Reasons nv
You Should Send for
the Brooks
Rupture Appliance.

1. 1t is absolutely the only APP
pliance Of the kind on the market
today, and in it are embodied the
principles that inventors have sought
after for years.
2. The Appliance for retaining
the rupture cannot be thrown out of
position.
3. Being an air cushion of soft
rubber It clings closely to the body,
yet never blisters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads, used in other trusses, it is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
S. Ii is small, soft and pliable, and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
6. The soft, pliable bands hold
ing the Appliance do not give one
the unpleasant sensation of wearing
a harness.
]. There is nothing about it to
get foul, and when it becomes soiled
it can be washed without injurlng it
in the least.
8. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh.
9. All of the material of which
the Appliances are made is of the
very best that money can buy, max
ing it durable and safe Appliance
to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is thoroughly established
by an experience of over thirty years
of dealing with the public, and my
prices are SO reasonable, my terms
SO fair, that there certainly should
be no hesitancy In sending the tree
coupon today.

THE BRIDGE ONCE AAlN.

The Dispatch several days ago sug-
gested that the county commissioners
of Crisp get permission of the federal
government to construct bridge
across Flint River at Huguenin's Fer
ry, Sumter and Dooiy counties have
secured such legislation in congress
for a bridge at Murray's.
Congressman Crisp gave the neces-
sary assistance to those counties and
n letter date June 16 to the Dispatch
he offers the same service to the Crisp
county commissioners for the bridge
at Huguenin's. All they have to do
is to ask for it. 1t nigh be we'll to go
this far while it can be done. Sumter
commissioners are busy trying to help
Americas in another direction.
Just beyond the river at Huguenin's S,
up and down the stream for distance
If six or eight miles, lies the trade
territory that Sumter officials are not
going to Help Cordele bring over this
side with a bridge. This is a strip
# territory Americas is not going to
part with as long as there is chance
o hold on. Sumter county commits
toners are not going to hurt Ameri-
Gus by assisting in the construction of
4 bridge at Huguenin's.
Crisp county is not going to get any
help from county officials on the other
,ide. They have been promised sub
stantial aid however from those peo-
ole living along the river on the other
side. and it has been proffered in such
! way as to indicate strongly that the
3eople over there want to come over
and save the long distance.
Let us say it again while we have
nothing else to do, and before we for
get it: The business men of Cordele
and Crisp county will have to take the
initiative and start the work 1t will
be easy after it becomes clear that
is going to be done from

mary, he is qualified for the bond cleo
ton.
This is not a matter over which any
one connected with the municipal gov
Iernment has control or choice. The
law requires a special registration
not the ordinance of the city of Cor
dele-but charter of 1911 requires it
and no bond election can be held, no
matter what may be the character,
hue or color, until a special registra-
ton has been had of the citizens en-
titled to vote.
1t is not altogether fair play to raise
question about this matter in a man
ner which would indicate that the
friends of the bond issue are trying to
put over" something. The city officials
are simply doing their duty in provid-
ing for the special registration. Their
work would be useless and the voting
might 90 on to the end of time with
out conforming to the requirements
of the law, but none of it would ever
get the community any nearer legal
election on a bond issue so long as the
special registration is required.
The voter is not going to let com
plant about the horrors of new reg
stration law bother him. He is not
going to charge anything to the friends
of the bond issue because the law re-
quires that an independent registra-
ton be had for the bond issue. Such
a thing is not necessary and the COM
plant against the registration system
is properly to be lodged against the
people who made the law regulating
such elections. 1t is not properly a
complaint to be laid at the door of
those who favor the bond issue.
