Pile Sufferers

Do you know why ointments do not
give you quick and lasting relief?
Why cutting and operations fail
Do you know the cause Of piles Is
internal?
That there is stagnation Of blood
in the lower bowel?
Do you know that there is harm
less remedy discovered by Dr. Leon
hardt and known as HEM-ROlD, now
sold by Sections Pharmacy and drug
gists generally, that is guaranteed?
HEM-ROID banishes piles by. re-
moving the cause, by freeing blood
circulation in the lower bowel. Thls
simple home treatment has an almost
unbelievable record for sure, safe ana
lasting relief to thousands of pile sick
sufferers. There is no reason why 1t
should not do the same for you.-AdV.

THE BRAINS OF THE coNFEDERAcY"-

THE BRAINS OF THE CONFEDERATE
Savannah Press)-A New York lawyer has made
a gift to the Yale School of Law to perpctuate the
name of Judah p. Benjamin.
This remarkable man, who was very prominent
in the Southern Confederacy, was born at St. CrolX
in the West Indies like Alexander Hamilton He
passed his boyhood in Wilmington, N. c. and emit
cred Yale College a sophomore with the class OF
1920 He studied law in New Orleans and prepar-
ed digest of the laws of Louisiana. He soon be-
came leader and member of the Constitu-
tional Convention of that state. He was elected to
the United States Senate in 1852 and was in that
body with men like Jefferson Davis of Mississippi
and Robert Toombs of Georgia He stood high
among Southern Democrats and was strong adj
vocate OF the legal claims of slavery.
Withdrawing from the senate when his state
ceded he entered the Confederate Cabinet. He serv
ed at Attorney General, Secretary OF War and Sec
rotary of State, remaining until 1865 of the
close political advisers Of Jefferson Davis.
After the fall of the Confederacy iamin es-
capped in open boat from Florida to the Bahia
mas and later went to England. He began mmed-
lately the study of English law at Lncolns Inn and
called to the bar in 1906 when S years of age
1t was difficult for newcomer without social or
political influence in conservative community
where eminent barristers were probably more num-
than i'll any other city in the world, to build
tip large practice. His great legal work however
published in 1863 attracted attention to his abili-
ties and his rise thereafter was rapid.
In 1872 he made Queens Counsel and his
practice became very large. When he withdrew
from active work account OF i'll health he was
given farewell banquet in the hall OF the Inner
Temple, attended by 200 members of the bar
including the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief
Justice. Later he withdrew to Paris, where his
health failed rapidly and he died there in May 1884
He came from Jewish parents and some people
who recall his career alluded to him as the brains
of the Southern Confederacy."
A dispatch to the New York Times says that
Yale University wishes to respect him because
after reaching middle age and under very discour
aging conditions, he made his ability at the bal
honored in England

IS THIS OUR REWARD TO GEN. MITCH

ELL?-If the country remains silent while high
army officers are cashiered for telling the truth to
the nation they are expected to defend, then It IS
pulling to know where bureaucratic domination
is going to stop and the restoration OF American
liberty begin
The demotion of Brig. Gen. VIM Mitchell
stands as an afiront to the people. Seemingly 1t IS
dangerous to tell the truth. Had Gen. Mitchell
been cross-examincd at the instance of the gov
eminent and declined to answer the questions
aimed to prove the nadcquacy OF our defense-had
he concealed the truth in such circumstances he
would have been branded. a traitor lie meets
almost the same fate for telling the truth.
On the very days of Gen Mchell's demotion
the whole country was startled to learn that in
test air attack on a dummy battleship the steel
monster was blown to atoms by the daredcvlls of
the air In a night attack test the air defense men
never saw one of the flicrs until they dropped flare
parachutes to disclose their locations. One of the
airplanes never was seen. The air defense gunners
did not score single hit. General Mitchels CON
tcnion was proved beyond a shadow of doubt, But
he finds himself cast into the discard.
The dcmotion of General Mitchell should be
followed by widespread protest. The American
government is not yet a private organization. 1t
is incredible to believe that the United States
would so outrageousy treat one OF its chief de
Tending officers for telling them the plain, but
long concealed truth regarding their danger in
case of war.

WHAT PRICE-A HAPPY
MAPPTAGE

The mother-in-law joke ceases &c
be funny. 1t is getting too serious to
be laughed at. In letter this morning
Betty tells me just what she thinks OF
mothers-in-law. Here is her letter:
Il am young woman of 23-en-
gagged to be married to the most won
derful man in the world. But here is
where the trouble comes in. His mo-
ther is human dreadnaught. She is
already telling me how our home must
be furnished-very sensibly-no ex-
travagant furniture that will really be
a nuisance rather than useful. We must
not have anything that is not practi-
cal. Then, | must be very careful of
Jacks diet. | must learn to cook the
right kind of food for him-the kind
she always gave him.
81 have met her other two sons and
their wives-and the daughters in law
are always in some sort of disgrace
with the mother in law. She thinks that
Eddie doesn't look well-Mary really
spent to much for those dishes. Or,
Billy is neglecting his old friends for
Helens-always entertaining Helen's
friends, etc.
NOW L am really AFRAID TO marry
the man | love, because l am sure
that she will make us both very I'M
happy. We have postponed our wedd-
ing several times, because | am afraid
to take the step What shall I do. Why
can't mothers-in-law stop meddling?
Why can't they realize that when two
young people marry they should be
allowed to 90 their own Way. WhV
can't mothers prove themselves real
friends to their sons-or daughters
as the case might be, by obliterating
themselves entirely so far as advice is
concerned?
1t is easy to see from Betty's letter
that she is quite sure mothers in-laW
are to be dreaded. She cannot under
stand howa mother who has always
been placed on a pedestal and rever-

THE DIXIE HIGHWAY SOUTH -(Waycross

THE DIXIE HIGHWAY oOO II y w dy Nio's
| Journal Herald)-For distance Of seven miles
out Of Waycross the Dixie Highway South has
been hard surfaced. The remaining portion OF this
road in Ware County and all OF the portion IN
Charlton county graveled.
During the past week, w. r. Neel, chief engin-
Ger of the State Highway Department inspected
this highway and estimated that at least Sl,1OO
mile was being lost each year on this highway on
account OF depreciation from wear and tear.
1t is at once recognized that an annual loss OF
81 POO ner mile each year will soon exhaust the
large amount of money Ware County, Charlton
county and the State Highway Department has
invested
It is urgent that this highway be hard surfaced
At a protection to the money already invested.
AS a result of his investigation Mr.. Neel said
that the Highway Department would be willing
to commence Immediately the hard-surfaclng OF
this highway provided Ware county would furn-
sh the labor for it's portion of the work and pro-
vidcd Charlton county would assign to the High
way Department its share of the Gas Tax for the
rcxt five or six years
The Ware county commissioners Immediately
agreed to this proposal.
We have not heard from the Charlton County
officials but we are they will accept this pro-
posal in preference to accepting 81 200 loss per
mile each year.
The public sincerely hopes that this proposed
contract can be consumated at once and the actual
construction begin Immediately.

BOOSTING THE COUNTRY-So


make quite Job of ridiculing Chambers OF Com
merce Kiwanis Clubs and other like organizations
because thew exist to "boost" their home commun-
tiles But after all aren't some OF these self ap-
pointed guardians of culture bit superficial? The
editor is of the opinion that broad view of this
American characteristic-prlde in the home town
will convince one that it has very definite and
valuable place in upbuilding of a better country
Before we can h2ve improvement we must have
pride The old we'll known saying might be chang
ed to read. Pride goeth before improvement"
And "boosting' is merely an expression of pride.
Think what it means to have thousands OF small
cities scattered throughout the width and breadth
of the land all boosting to build themselves up
industrially commercially, and intellectually. We
can conclude the word intellectually because before
nation can set about the task of improving itself
mentally its citizens must first be prosperous and
comfortable.
| The speed and growth and development in our
country is amazing-it is of the greatest ro-
mances of all history And one thing that has
contributed much to this development is the pride
good citizens take everywhere in the progress of
their communities.
SO to those citizens of Fitzgerald who are proud
Of the town and ready to boost everything that
makes for progress we say: Keep You are
contributing your bit to the improvement OF our
town-and to the growtha nd upbuilding of our
ration.

Bullbat is local name given to the

ings on the throat of the nighthawk
make it easily distinguished from the

shaped like the letter V. broad white
bar, which extends across the first pri-
mary wing feathers. This is plainly
visible when the bird is near by and

BOYS COMPACT-Two boys recently ran
away from their homes. They were picked UP by
police in another town and sent back home to
their parents When found they carried an agree
ment they had made before starting out. 1t pledg-

together. (2) Not to fight, CO Not to steal; az
If dispute arises on any matter toss up to settle
it; 60 Fifty fifty on everything co. To keep go
ing south and not back; CD Play the game fair
Not such bad agreement for two youngsters to
make 1t is no doubt best for them that they were
found and returned to their homes. Education and
and little more wise discipline should help rath-
er than harm them. But if they retain their adj
venturous spirit along with ther ideals OF COM
radeship fair play honesty and stick-to-t-lveness
they should go far their journey toward success.
