lie says so himself in about as strong
language as he Is capable OF using
and he has never lacked for a
word to convey his meaning.
The senator's sole object, as he
has repeatedly told his friends, is to
spend his declining days in his home
state. He has never given up his
residence here in the sense that he
did not call Atlanta his home; in
fact, his legal connections are both
in Atlanta and Washington. His
son, Marian Smith, Of the we'll
known legal firm fLittle, Powell,
Smith and Golstein, has all along
been an associate counsel Of the
Hoke Smith law offices in Wash
ington and Atlanta, and the senator,
when he is in Atlanta usually makes
his headquarters at the offices of his
son. ThesWashington law offices of
the senator are in charge of Major
O. H. B. Bloodworth, Jr, and Major
James L. Fort, and the office will
be continued after the senator's re-
moval to Atlanta. In addition the
senator will have a large legal Ii
brary at his Atlanta home. He is
counsel for many large clients in
the South, in addition to his national
and international connection.
Some critics of the senator con-
strued a big personal write-up Of
the senator which appeared recent
ly in a national magazine to mean
that he was again :eelling the lime
light with a view Of running for Of
fee The truth Of the matter is that
the article was written by W ?.
Hunnicut, former secretary Of the
senator, now a newspaper writer, as
a personal tribute to his former en-
Eloyer. There was no political sig-
nificance whatever attached to the
article, this from no less authority
than the writer himself who is Low
in Atlanta. The article, which was
read by many Georgia friends Of the
senator, told him he rose from a
penniless school teacher in Wayncs-
boro, ga, to a leading lawyer Of
the profession, cabinet officer Al

RECORD FOR SAFE TRAVEL
ON TRAINS OF SOUTHERN

ATLANTA, May 14-Figures just
compiled by the alety department
Of the Southern Railway system show
that a high degree OF safety for
passengers was accomplished during
the year 1922 when the Southern
handled a total of 17,66S,605 pas
sengers without single fatality to
any passenger as the result OF an
accident to a train or negligence on
the part of the railway
A total of 177084 passengers
trains were operated during the
year and the average distance tray-
eled by each passenger was 62.17
miles. Had one passenger ridden the
entire distance that these passengers
were carried, he would have travelled
more than $4,000 times the distance
around the earth.
-Four passengers were killed as the
result OF their own acts in violation
of the safety rules established for
their protection. Of course, two fell
from moving trains, one attempted to
board a moving train and fell under
it, and one jumped through the
window of the coach in which he was
riding.
these figures" says statement
issued by the safety department OF
the Southern, show that, while the
Southern has attained a remarkable
degree Of efficiency in protecting the
passengers who ride on its trains, no
refinement of protective features
can insure the safety Of persons who
carelessly or deliberately violate the
common laws of safety and the rules
which have been established for then
protection"

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. 1t 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 applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. 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 send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
