Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have
tried one remedy after another,
finding only temporary benefit.
This is discouraging, but there is
one kidney medicine that has earn

and there is plenty of proof of its

Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago
and now makes her testimony even

Cotton Mills

Every day it becomes more con-
elusive that the eyes of the textile
men of the East now are on Geor-
gia. Eventually practically every
pound of cotton will be milled in
the South.
For years the textiles have been
locating in the Carolinas. These
states now are reaching the point
of saturation. The potential labor
supply is about exhausted. Avail
able hydro-electric current is not
so easily secured.
1t is Georgia's day. Unlimited
power and labor are attracting the
attention of investors of the East
to the Empire State. However,
they know only NORTH GEORGIA.
That South Georgia has equal pos
sibilities, is not generally believed
by Eastern capitalists.
Then, too, they have an, idea that
all of South Georgia is <'infested
with malaria.
The South Georgia county that
first proves to the world that Il
HAS NO malaria, will stand out
head and shoulder above all other
South Georgia counties.

How France Paid Her War Debts AS
Compared With Germany'S Present Attitude
NE. Y. n ..

1t is now revealed that the es-
cape of the former Crown Prince
of Germany from his island of ex-
lie in Holland was not an escape
at all, but was sanctioned by the
present German government and
by the Dutch Government itself.
That this may pave the way for fur
cher complications is entirely prob
able. 1t points an effort to re-
store the Hohenzollern dynasty to
the German throne, and in that
event will mean that the Ger
mans will not pay any reparations,
In this connection it is worth
while to compare the diligence and
good faith with which France paid
the indemnity levied upon her by
Germany, following the Franco
frussian war of 1870, and the evas-
ion of the Germans now.
According to the treaty of Frank
fort France had to pay to Germany
war indemnity of five billion
francs, and Germany stipulated
that her armies would occupy 20 to
83 French departments, unity pay
ment was made in full.
How did Germany act at that
time?
According to Article Z Of the
Frankfort treaty, 500 million
francs 10 per cent of the indem-
nity-were to be paid so days af-
ter the establishment of the
French Governments authority IN
Paris; / billion francs during the
year 1871; 500 million francs on
May LIST, 1872; the last billions
before March End, 1874.
The occupation of French terri
tory was scheduled as follows:
Up to June 18th, the occupa-
ton forces were to consist OF 500,-
900 men and 10000 horses.
2-After payment of the first
half billion francs, 10000 men
and $4,000 horses.
3-Later on, the occupation
forces were to be reduced proper
tionally to the payments down to
$4,000 men and $4,000 horses
which would stay until payment in

2.-Evacuation of four depart
