q. Clay Evans, but the latter passed
them over to his faithful and able
lieutenant, Newell Sanders and from
that time to the present Sanders has
been the dominent factor in the or
ganisation of his party In this state.
Sanders has not been the boss
that Brownlow was. He has led bis
party to a higher plane in Tennessee
During four years Of his leadership
! the governor of the state was a re-
publican. Under the direction OF San
ders the republican party in Tennessee
! came to be one Of the great factors
in the moral regeneration of the state.
1t welded a power and exerted an
influence and attained to measure
of responsibility that before that time
il had never known. It was under
the astute leadership of Sanders that
the republicans in the legislature Of
1909 Joined with the temperance dem
ocrats and enacted the prohibition
laws. The next year his mastery
hand directed the republican state
executive committee to an endorse
ment of the independent democratic
candidates for the judiciary.
Following this came the election OF
Hooper as governor and his re-elec-
ton two years later. Sanders was q
potent factor in the work and legisla.
ton of the Hooper administrations.
He was one of the wisest and best
advisers that the governor had. He
has probably contributed more money
in the interest OF the republican party
than any man in the state He WELD
ed great power but he did not abuse it.
In common with many other demo-
Gratis, this paper once had strong
prejudice against Mr.. Sanders, class
ing him with other adventure seeking
carpet bag republicans who infested
the South following the close Of the
war. But closer acquaintance with
him and a better appreciation of his
motives dispelled this prejudice.
There has never been in the ranks of
his party in this state cleaner, more
patriotic or more consistent man than
Mr.. Sanders. He lives and has lived
a clean and upright life. He has used
his power as a political leader in the
public interest. His domination Of the
republican party during the past ten
years has been a positive asset to the
state. He has given Of his time and
money without stint and the only re-
ward that he ever obtained, except
that which comes from the conscious
ness Of duty well done, was a brief
term in the senate of the United
States, an Office that he filed with
dignity and credit.
The war upon Sanders in his own
party savors of ingrattude. Having
led his party from out the slough of
despond to the higher ground of
achievement, having unselfishly used
his powers as leader for the party
and the public good, 1t is difficult to
what good purpose can be
served by depriving him Of the lead
ership Of his party. While he has
co-operated with democrats in achiev-
Ing state reforms he has been a con.
sistent and loyal national republican.
The leadership of men like Newell
Sanders is credit to any political
party.

GOOD FOR GILES.

Congratulations are due the county
court and the people of Giles county
upon action recently taken to provide
better educational opportunities for
the youth of the county. The county
court has raised the tax levy for
schools and pledged the people an
eight months term. This is making
progress; 1t takes Giles county out of
the unenviable position of being one
Of the most backward counties, from
the standpoint of public education, in
the state.
There are no better counties and
few the equal of Giles in wealth, in
resources, in character of citizenship.
But unfortunately the people have
been very long time waking up to
the Importance of public education.
They have been content with four or
five months school in the country dis
tricts; the tax levy has been low and
the public Indifferent, but all this is
changed now. We shall expect mar
velous progress in our neighboring
county as the result of an awakened
interest in education. After a few
years the people will wonder how they
ever tolerated conditions that have
existed there.

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.

It Is to be hoped that the move
ment to nominate John Sharp VII
liams for vice-president will make lit
lite Roadway and it Is equally as desir
able that the people of Mississippi
should return him TO the senate. He
is needed and badly needed right
where he is. Williams is the ablest
.debater In the senate. His recent
speeches on the European situation
mark him as the strongest, sanest and
safest member OF the senate who has
yet discussed the world problems. He
.is no demagogue. He Is scholar, q
practical, far-seeing statesman with
the ability to give expression to his
views. He Ia an ornament to the
senate and a credit to the south. His
defeat for the senate or his election
to another Office would be little less
than calamity to the country. There
are altogether too few men Of Will

and patriotism in the public life Of

the fact that this scarcity is almost
forcing the smaller papers out of bus

british GOVERNMENT TO
LOAN S1OO,OOO,OO TO SOLDIERS

LONDON, Oct 1S.-England's de-
termination to provide the best pos
sible housing accommodation for the
soldiers on their return to civil life is
reflected in plans formulated to set
aside as a beginning $100,000,000 Of
government money as advances to
local authorities and other agencies, to
provide houses for the working classes
at reasonable rent. Mr.. Long, presi-
dent of the Local Government Board,
told deputation that the plans ac-
tually before the Board represented but
a small beginning. He added:
1T would be black crime to let our
soldiers come back from water-logged
and horrible trenches to something lit
tie better than a pig-sty.' He had told
a derutation representing the Hous-
ing and TOWN. planning Congress
some time ago that the 20,OOO,OOO
pounds asked for by them should not
represent even an index of what might
be required. He emphasized that If
the government came to the aid of the
local authorities in the matter, 1t
must be on liberal lines, He also said
it was vital to the future of the race
that there should be provision for as
many as possible in those districts IN
order to keep the land occupied.
The move is one of many indicating
that, in the estimation of the govern
ment, nothing is to be too good for the
men who helped in the war on their
return. It is a harbinger of the social
revolution that has been so frequently
predicted and which affects all class
es.

The Georgia Shippers Body
Wants. Public to Know What
They Are Doing for Rates
las sion.

In the language of railway econom-
les, operating income" is a term
which designates the net profit arising
from railway operation after payment
of all expenses of every kind, including
taxes. In other words, operating in
come is the fund available for surplus
and the payment of dividends.
The statement issued by the Bureau
of Railway Economics shows that the
railroads of Georgia, in common with
the railroads of the whole United
States, enjoyed enormous increases in
operating income for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1916, as compared with
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1915.
Thees increases were as follows:
Atlanta & West Point railroad, S112,-
SIC; Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic
railroad, 1903, 402; Atlantic Coast Line
railroad, $2,SO9 $3.50; Central of Georgia
railroad, $519,656; Georgia railroad,
$4,000; Georgia, Southern & Florida
railroad, $215,650; Louisville & Nash
vile railroad, $8,234,45S; Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis railroad, ST.
3S6,530; Seaboard Air Line railroad,
$1,606,2S8; Southern railroad, $7,603,-
$50; Total, $23,11O,46S.
Not content with these enormous in
creases, the railroads of Georgia are
now proposing to throw away the
freight rates fixed by the Railroad
Commission, because these rates are
not sufficiently high to satisfy them,
and to put into effect new and ad-
vanced scale of rates that will further
swell their profits.
Not content with the splendid meas
ure of prosperity which already they
enjoy, the railroads of Georgia are
proposing to lay additional burdens
upon the shipping public by throwing
away the Georgia Classification, made
by the Railroad Commission, and put
ting into effect the Southern Classifi-
cation, made by them.
To Raise All Commodity Rates.
They propose to raise all class rates
for all distances from one to 1870 miles,
which distances cover the bulk of
traffic moving in this state. They pro-
pose to raise all commodity rates for
all distances. Their proposed advanc-
es range from 20 to 200 per cent. Every
article of commerce shipped by freight
will feel the effects of this proposed
revision" since the change which
they are pleased to call by this smooth
sounding name is really throwing

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take Glass Of Salts Before Breakfast
Ii Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Is Troubling You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
we'll known authority Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood, then we
get sick Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness and urinary disor-
ders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular OF passage or at
tended by sensation of sealding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
OF Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in few days
your kidneys will act fine. This fam
GUS salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to flush and stimulate the kid
neys, also to neutralize the acide in
urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jar Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferyes-
cent lathia- water drink which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.

Make Gains in Galicia and
Elsewhere.

London, Sept 5.-Almost without
pause after their smash of Sunday
against the German lines. the French
resumed their onslaught north and
south Of the Somme river and with
the British aiding to the north. drove
their lines still farther forward along
front of twenty-five miles. Impor,
tant German positions fell before the
advance.
South of the Somme the village Of
Soyecourt and part Of the village OF
vermandovillers were taken. while.
seemingly moro important still. the
French made fresh progress east OF
the village of Forest which lies one
and one-half miles southeast Of the
railroad town Of Combles.
This gain, taken with the capture of
Guillemont by the British Sunday,
seemingly outhanks Combles and ap-
parently renders It untenable.
More than 5000 Germans have been
made prisoners north and south Of the
Somme In the last two days.
On the British right wing. progress
Is reported north Of Falfemont farm.
while q German counter-attack north
west of Moquet farm was repulsed.
In the Verdun sector Paris records q
fresh gain near Fleury.

British and French successes In the
fighting Of Sunday in the Somme re-
gion says the battling over the eight
een-mile front from Beaumont to the
Somme was one Of the greatest fe-
rocity.
Russ Drive at Hungary.
Again there is heavy fighting on the
front In Russia west and southwest
Of Lutsk and north Of Zborow and
near Brezezany, in Galicia, with the
Russians generally the aggressors.
Petrograd controverts the assertion
Of Berlin that the Russians obtained
only local successes near Brezezany
by the declaration that the Russians
won victory over the Teutons here
and took 2.641 prisoners.
In the Carpathian region. according
to Petrograd. the Russians have cap
tured an entire series of heights and
are advancing to the Hungarian from
tier.
All along the Transylvania front the
Roumanians continue to press their ad-
vantage against the Austro-Hungari-
ans. Here they have captured add
tional towns and are said to be bonn
harding the town Of Hermannstadt,
which is second in Importance only to
Kronstadt.
The Germans and Bulgarian forces
are attacking along the entire front
between Dobredja and Bulgaria. Near
koemar, Berlin reports. the Rouman-
ians were driven back with the loss Of
700 men taken prisoners.
In Albania the Italians east Of Az.
Iona have taken the villages of Kutai
and Brizar and Monte Gradist.
Considerable fighting Is in progress
in the Austro-Italian theater, but with.
