Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public. there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions The mild and healing
influence of Dr. kilmer's Swamp Root
is soon realized. II stands the highest
for its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of
the prominent life insurance companies,
in an interview of the subject, made
the astonishing statement that one rea-
son why so many applicants for insur
ance are rejected is because kidney
trouble is so common to the American
people, and the large majority OF those
whose applications are declined do not
even suspect that they have the dis
ease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on
sale at all drug stores in bottles OF two
sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation sent ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N.
Y, for a sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention this paper.--Ady

EARNEST HOPSON IN
FITZGERALD SUNDAY
r re of Four Accused in Shepard
Case Sees Witnesses
TWO SUMMONED HERE
Deputy Roberts and John Roland
Are States Witnesses

Much conjecture is said to have
been occasioned in Macon court cir
cles over the fact that Earnest Hop
son, one Of the four accused of the
murder of Fred Shepard, was in Fitz-
gerald Sunday with Sherrn Wynn OF
Houston county to subpoena Two wit
nesses for the state
Deputy Sheriff Gordon Roberts
who arrested Mrs. E1dridge Cuts
here, and John Roland taxi cab oper-
ator who drove the deputy, Mrs
Cults and Mr. Cults to Macon on
November % after Mrs. Cults arrest
were both summoned to appear for
the state. What evidence they have
to offer in the case is unknown and
what interest Earnest Hopson could
have in assisting the sheric to locate
them is deeper mystery to the pros
ecuting attorneys.
Hopson, the Sheriff's son, and a
negro chauffeur motored here from
Perry Sunday afternoon and motored
back about $50 o'clock after taking
supper at the New York Cafe Asked
if Earnest Hopson had been in jail
the negro chauffeur replied:
"Nossuh, Marse Earnest is too big
a sport to be locked up in dat little
Perry jail"

SOLICITOR CLOAKS
PLANS IN SECRECY

MACON, December 20th.-While
Solicitor General Garrett was still hid
ing all things in connection with his
side of the case with a cloak of Sc
crecy, persons who have been follow
ing the activities of the prosecution
were of the opinion that the state had
new surprises to bring out when hear
ings were resumed in the superior
court before Judge Mathews at 1880
o'clock Monday morniny in the COM
mitment trials of Mrs. Pauline J. FL
mer, Mrs. Anne Cuts, Mrs. lone
Henry and Ernest Hopson, charged
with murder in connection with the
alleged poisoning to death of Fred D.
Shepard of Fort Valley, former hus-
band of Mrs. Elmer.
Witnesses who were not sum-
moned by the state until late last
week have been limited as the ones to
furnish the new surprises which, it is
/. expected will be brought about by
Nkhe state. How much longer the hear
. 81 will continue is seen now as based
on the length to which the state goes,
since attorneys for the defense have
already said that their witnesses need
not be expected to consume more
than two days at the outside. The
; attorneys for the defense will attempt
to break down the testimony of DR..

Three Blazes Break Five Weeks
Fireless Period
TWO DOWNTOWN FIRES
Mattress Factory and Flat Over
Beauchamp Market Burn

Alter more than five weeks with
out fire on which it was necessary
to use stream of water, three blazes
OF considerable size broke out in Fitz-
gerald Saturday and Sunday. The
hre department succeeded in quelling
them all with little damage The Fitz-
gerald Mattress Factory was the heav-
lest sufferer early Sunday morning.
The first blaze of the three was at
the dinner hour Saturday when sparks
falling on the roof of the Lee resi-
dence on West Pine street started a
blaze. The rear part of the house was
damaged before the fire was exiting
t1ished.
A fire whose origin is unknown
broke out above Beauchamp and Eads
meat market on East Pine street
about ii O'Clock Saturday night and
was extinguished without spreading
from the upper story of the building
The Fitzgerald Mattress Factory
fire was discovered shortly after the
other fire had been put out. The
blaze had fair Roadway before the
firemen could reach it and the stock
and machinery was badly damaged.
The loss had not been definitely esti-
mated today.
