3ackache is Discouraging.
But Not so Bad if You Know
How to Reach the Cause.

Nothing more discouraging than
a constant backache. Lame when
you awaken, pains pierce you when
you bend or lift. It's hard to work
or to rest. Backache often indicates
bad kidneys. Edgefeld people rec
ommend Deans kidney pills. Read
this case:
Mrs. E. P. Jackson, Cedar Row,
Edgefeld, says: Il suffered greatly
from a weak and lame back which
became so bad that I could hardly
get around. My sides and hips also
got sore and lame and loss of sleep
made me weak and exhausted.
Doan's kidney pills rid me of the
attack" Statement given April l2,
1919 Over three years later, Mrs.
Jackson said: my back or kidneys
seldom trouble me now, but when
they do, Doan's kidney pills always
give me quick relief"

SAYS HE THINKS TANLAC IS
FINEST REMEDY IN THE
WORLD" TO PURIFY

ANYONE.

Because of the hardship he was
forced to endure during the four
years ne was soldier for the United
States army during the Civil War,
Mr.. B. F. Dixon, of Converse, S.
c., R. F. D. l, a suburb of Spar

August I, that his health was un-
dermined and that he never really
enjoyed good health after the war
was ended.
Mr.. Dixon was wounded six times

eral times seriously. But his health
now is better than it has been in a
long time, he says, and be gives
Tanlac, the master medicine credit
for bringing about the great change
in his condition.
MIR. Dixon took just two bottles,
he says, and he gained eleven
pounds. His statement follows:
II suffered particularly from
stomach trouble. I had almost COM
pletely lost my appetite and l was
Just worn down. I am 50 years of
age, and ! had lost so much strength
that 1 staggered when / walked.
Also l had lost considerable

weight and I was very nervous.
My condition finally became so bad
and my nerves were SC disturbed
that l could not sleep we'll and I
would lie for hours in bed before /
could get to sleep.
rheumatism also caused me con-
J siderable pain, and, besides these
pains. l suffered considerably with
crampy pains. My nerves were so
bad and my strength 50 little that I
could hardly write my name.
Il had tsufered with these
troubles for years. I don't know
just how long. Finally, l heard
about Tanlac and began to read the
advertisements, and later I decided
to take it.
I bought the first bottle and it
did not seem to help me much. The
reason of that, I know, was because
! I was in such bad shape. But I
had faith in it and bought the
second bottle, and that was the
bottle which gave me wonderful re-
suits.
The relief the two bottles of
Tanlac gave me was as follows: I
gained IL pounds in weight, and
that certainly is a lot for man of
80 years to gain. Tanlac relieved
my sleeplessness and I got to where
l could sleep almost like a dead
person. 1t gave me great appe-
tite and | was soon eating three
square meals a day. 1t broke up
my stomach trouble and l gained
great deal of strength. That short
ness of breath left me, and my
nerves were quieted and strength
ened. I do not suffer with rheuma-
tism now either.
Il think Tanlac is the finest rem
edy in the world to renovate any
ones system and to build it up.
Tanlac is good-there can't be any
better. I think. / am certainly
glad to recommend Tanlac, for it is
an extraordinarily good medicine,
and I know from my experience
that it is good for all it is claimed
to be. have tried it and / know
what it will do. If / ever need
medicine again, I certainly will take
more Tanlac."

day School Day Complete
Success,
Success.

The special exercises of the Bap'
tist Sunday school were thoroughly
enjoyed last Sunday. The attend
ance was large and every number Of
the carefully prepared program was
we'll presented. The popular and
efficient superintendent, Mr.. w. B.
Cogburn, presided and announced

The school is graded according

jng was the presentation of prize
which was awarded by Mrs. J. B.
Kennerly. At the beginning of the
year Mrs. kennerly offered prize
to the scholar in her class who
made the best record for attendance
during the year. Mrs. Kennerly's
class record showed that Master
Harry Paul had not missed single
Sunday in the year, so he was
awarded the prize, a beautifully
bound copy of the Bible. This was
presented in an appropriate manner
by Prof. 7. J. Lyon.

Sketch of Hon. Walter McDon-
AIDS Achievements Young
Member of Augusta Bar.

Hon. Walter Il. Mcdonald will,
likely, be the youngest man in the
next Georgia House. He is "a.
He will be the only blind man in
the legislature.
The remarkable progress of this
young man is known to almost
every Aug GUSTAV. One of less pluck,
injured as he was injured, would
have given up" Mcdonald didn't.
He went on up. And is going high
er up. He not only has courage,
but he has ability. His persever-
ance is in keeping with his bright
ness.
Mcdonald is piled up with con-
gratulatory letters. Few mel, would
guess the large number of messages
he has received. The missives,
many of them, come from men high
in Georgia public life.
The home politicians can't just
make him out" No faction be-
hind him, on no ticket he entered
the Richmond legislative ticket of
ten and led the race.
Old-timers are asking for his re-
cipe. They are as nonplussed as
when Dennie O'Connell pitched in
some years ago, his candidacy flout-
ed by both the then political fac
tions, and ran way ahead of all COM
petitors in field of seven.
When Mr.. and Mrs: Mcdonald de-
cided on the legislative try" they
also went TO work. They have been
married since February. They had
the ambition to go to the assembly
as starter. For they have other
ambitions in a public way, apd they
are going to be heard from.
In Richmond County we have
symbols on our election tickets. If
we can't read we are guided by the
symbol. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald
adopted q picture of the human eye
as their ticket symbol, and under
stood that energy and vigilance
were their only campaign weapons.
Work will tell. Good work tells
all the better. Arm in arm, hand
in hand, this political organization,
both of them, began their polite
ing. If your name was on the reg
istry list, they buttonholed you.
They won, bands down. And be-
cause they earned the win. That is
all. They decided to succeed-and
succeeded.
They are but lad and > lass-as
years and stature go. But, both of
them bright of mind, hard students,
straightforward in their dealings;
earnest, sincere; determined and
never falter or fatigue.
Nor so serious, minded as you
would think. They laugh and joke
in their office as they chat or run
over legal points with you. Stran-
gers to gloom, with no thought of
the dreary side of life, they are up
and doing every hour, with conf
dence in themselves and with laugh
ter in their souls.
In the Augusta fire. this McDon-
aid law firm was burned out, at Of
tice and at home. That Wednes-
day night, Walter Mcdonald had
but s25. IL was in his pocket.
His thought was for the poor peo-
pie, who had lost their all in the
conhagration. He gave of his
sparse capital to the relief fund.
Without a home, without law Of
flee or law book or legal cap, he
transacted law business in the sad
die" and on the Monday morning
after the Wednesday night fire, de-
posted s7s of saved earnings in
the Union Savings Bank.
Mrs. Mcdonald is not lawyer
vet in the sense that she has been
admitted to the bar. But she is
going on to Atlanta when the legis-
lature meets.

GeoIoqicaI Data,

A strange fact, and one of the great
est scientific significance, is that all
the mollusks of the western mountain
regions of the United States show in
most marked degree closer rela-
tionship to the mollusca of Asia than
that of the eastern portion of the Unit
ed States, which, coupled with the
fact that this is also true of some Of
the mammals of the Western states,
gives great weight to the theory that
there once existed a land bridge be.
tween Asia and the continent of North
America, and that the Eastern and
Western United States were divided
by a large inland sea.

Owing to the limited supply Of cot
ton in Germany, the sand bags used
in constructing breastworks are now
being made of specially prepared pa
per. Experience has proved that these
new paper bags are much superior to
cotton bags for durability, and cost
less. After cotton bags have been
in use for some time they wear out
from exposure and must be replaced.
The cotton bags are now being re-
placed by paper bags. These new
bags have been scientifically prepared,
are waterproof and may be used over
and over again, being practically inde-
structible. Millions of these bags are
being used in place of the cotton ones,
which means quite a saving both in
cotton and cost.

The radium-bearing ores found their
market practically destroyed when war
was declared and when the people Of
Europe turned their attention from
curing the sick to killing off the most
fit. In the Paradox valley much pros
pecting has been done, assessment
work completed and concentration
plants finished, says Metal Mining
Journal. Gilpin county, the highgrade
uranium field, has a new company in
control of the chief producers, while
the 10 Reynolds mine, Clear Creek
county, has s25O,00O worth of uranium
ore sacked and ready to ship. The
federal plant in Denver-which has
turned out some medium-grade radium
salts-purchased some carnotite ore
in the San Miguel field. With peace
conditions restored, and at from S37,-
500 to $4,000 for a single gram of
radium salts, Colorados output of ra-
dium ores might swiftly advance from
the 100000 of 1915 to millions of dol
lars. In this estimate ferrovanadium
more or less figures. The automobile
trade gives that important rare metal
a status of it's own.

When Mr.. Gibson Bowles was in the

fact that he was reputed to breakfast

point in connection with naval mat
ters, there was "Cap'n Bowles" ready
to make him look foolish. Mr.. Mum

than he expected. Suppose" thun-
dered Mr.. Bowles across the house at
the astonished Mr.. Mundella, "the
right honorable gentleman were at sea
in heavy weather close hauled"-then
followed a complicated problem of
naval tactics. What Mr.. Mundella
would have done under the circum-
stances remained a mystery. What
he did under Mr.. Bowles' interroga-
tions was to sit silent and look gloomy.
Sir William Harcourt once solemn
ly complained that Mr. Bowles had
called him a political Mr.. Stiggins.

OFFERED HEADS TO SULTAN
Unusual infraction of Mohammedan
Etiquette Explained to Satisfac-
ton of Russian Ambassador.

The importance of Adrianople for
the Turks has largely been a strategic
one-mingled with the sentiment they
feel for it as the first city OF any size
they captured in Europe, and the seat
of one of the most famous of their
mosques. The author of "The Revolt
of City" was probably an Oriental
forerunner of our own western town
boosters, Still, the fact remains that
even after the fall of Constantinople
the place continued to be favorite
resort of the sultans. Adrianople had
something besides war to talk about in
1867, for instance, when the ambassa-
dors Of Austria, France, Persia, Poland
and Ragusa came to present the re-
spects of their governments to the
newly succeeded son of Suleiman the
Magnificent The Persian was the last
to arrive. When he made his state en-
trance into the city he was met by the
Turkish authorities and by the other
ambassadors and their suites. He was
astounded by the fact that these last
took off their hats as he passed, it be-
| ing a serious breach of etiquette for
Mohammedan to uncover his head in
public, and he demanded an explana-
tion of the extraordinary gesture. The
master of ceremonies, a famous poet
and wit of his time called Shemsi
Pasha, told him that the Christian am
bassadors thereby signified their will
ingness to leave their heads at the feet
of Sultan Selim H.-H. G. Dwight, in
Harper's Magazine.

LETTER WHITING.

A literary critic has issued protest
against the low state of the art Of let
ter writing He asserts that letters
nowadays are filed with personal gos-
sip and chatter of trivial things; and
that they no longer contain the ex-
change of serious thoughts and COM
pairing Of observations which used
often to distinguish the epistles of in
telligent people. II letter writing has
degenerated, the reasons are not hard
to find. One is that very many per-
sons see only facts and events, and
quite ignore that most interesting of
tasks, the tracing of relatedness and
causes, says Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle. Another is that it is
somewhat questionable" to speak
socially of abstract matters or to give
extended descriptions; and even IL
one were inclined so to write, he
would refrain for fear of being
thought pedantic. Letters ought to be
friendly, spontaneous and sparkling
with accounts of what adventures,
great or small, have befallen the
writer. A person of open perceptions
sees countless things in the course of
a day which are worth reporting.
Where the dull mind can relate only
what somebody said, or wore, or did
the intelligent mind will not be at
loss for good topics. One of the great
est thinkers said that it was a mark
Of greatness to see the sublime in
commonplace things.
