Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
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 on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected Is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large. However, il you wish

WEEKLY COTTON LETTER.
(By Savannah Cotton Faetorase Coz
Sept. Is, 1927

Crop accounts were unfayorable
during the past week. The yield
has been reduced by premature
opening of bolls. No top crop has
been made anywhere.
Picking progresses rapidly, many
sections reporting that fields would
be clean by the end of September.
Private mid-month condition esti-
mates range from 40 to 81, indicat
ing a crop of about 9,750000 to TO-
100000 bales. The movement OF
cotton is out of proportion with
what is expected TO be the final
yield. In most sections farmers
have been selling their cotton as
fast as picked, but the recent de-
cline win cause more cotton to be
held.
II the Near East situation clears,
or southern farmers refuse to sell
below 20 cents in the interior, there
will be a rapid advance from the
present level.
We continue to advise agains'
selling on weak markets. Cotton
held for GO days should bring higher
prices and there may be a healthy
advance when the Governments
Conditional Report is published on
October End.
September IS, 1922.

Shows Authorities.

Lumberton, Sept. 1S.-Frank
Summers, who a week ago confess
ed to Augusta, Ca, officials that he
killed Manning Ford at Marietta,
Robson county, on February 10,
last, today led o posse of Robson
officials to the place where he hid
the body of the man he killed.
The larger bones and clothing o!
the murdered man were found i'm
the woods abount 100 yards from
the public road and only a short
distance from the house in which
Summers lived. Summers had
some difficulty in locating the spot
where he left the body Of Ford, but
sought it eagerly until it was locat-
ed.
The murdered man got into some
minor trouble just before he was
killed and his people thought lie
had joined the navy in order to get
away. People living in the com
munity where the murder was COM
mitted had no suspicion of what
had happened until last week when
Summers wife told Georgia officials
of the killing. Summers was ar.
rested and after his arrest told the
officials that he killed Ford and
would show where his body could
be found.
Summers was apparently unmov-
ed when he viewed the bones of
the man he murdered. The skull
showed that the deceased had been
dealt a deadly blow and Summers
stated that he struck Ford with an
axe. Ford being in the Summers
home at. the time. Summers carried
the hody of his victim to the spot
where the scattered remains were
found today, he said. Summers
refused to tell why he killed Ford
who was young man and unmars

looking on. About them were many
curious. wondering in whispers
whether the women could stand TO-
see what was about to take place
not four feet from them.
Attendants came and tested the
current fixing the copper wires to
the long board studded with two
dozen light bulbs. The lights ftared
up, throwing the narrow, hot room
into a terrible hrilIiance. 1t was
then 1924. Another attendant came
in with bucket of water and the
leather helmet and set them on the
floor behind the chair.
Murphy Comes First.
Through the door of the death
row came the dull monotone OF the
preacher, reading his Psalms, and a
moment later the first of the ne
groes, Angus Murphy, dragging his
feet heavily on the floor. He was
supported on either side by guards.
His eyes were slightly closed, and
the guards guided him to the chair.
He sat down YEARLY and leaned his
head against the rests of the chair.
A moment more and the harness
was strapped about his. He had
not moved.
Silence fell upon the crowd as the
attendants stepped back, and the
sharp click of a switch thrown
home. The limp body of the negro
ierked taut as the current poured
through his body. His hands grip
ped the arms of the chair, and his
head strained upward. Steam
came up out of the helmet that GOV.
cred his head, and the skin crack
led under the heat of the current.
Seventy-two seconds and the cur
rent left him limp again in the
chair. He was not yet dead when
the Warden unbuckied the straps
across his breast. Again the cur
rent and yet again, and Angus Muir
ply had paid the price.
Bring in Second Shift.
The doors were opened and the
crowd hustled out, urged to haste
by the Warden. Men brought in d
casket while attendants unstrappcd
the negro from the chair. He was.
bumped into it and covered over
with sheet. As the undertakes
were taking him down the steps the
second crowd was milling around
the entrance in its morbid haste tC
get inside. Seventy-two of them
came before the door was closed
again.
1t was insufferably hot and the
odor OF the burning flesh of the first
negro suffused the room as tho
crowd waited GREATNESS for the
coming of Thomas. Water had run
out of the helmet over the iioor
while Murphy was being killed, and
two prisoners in stripes came in
with cloths and mopped the fiool
while the crowd was gathering. The
helmet was wet again.
Thomas Waves Goodbye.
! Presently the voice OF another
preacher, deeper and more sonorors
informing the same Psalms that were
! said for Murphy, heralded the az
proach of Thomas. As he came, no
stopped at the door of each cell in
the death house, where Others wait
the fate to which he was coming.
To each he waved weak good
bye. His voice grew more uncer
tain as he came toward the death
chamber, and before he entered, he
was dumb and his eyes tightly
shut
Again the straps were fastened
