Valdosta, Ga., May 2b.—it is an nounced here mat the Valdosta South ern railroad, from this city to Madison Fla., nas been sold to John Skelton Williams and his associates, and tftjiJ the line will be made a part of the through line which the Williams syn dicate is building - from Augusta tc Valdosta. A deal has been pending for the sale of the road for several weeks. E L. Beamis, of Richmond, Cecil Gab- bet t and John Scott, prominently iden tified with the Williams syndicate, spent Tuesday iu this city, and while these gentlemen, as well as Colonel J. M. Wilkinson, president of the Val dosta Southern, decline to discuss the matter, it may be authoritatively stat ed that the object of their visit waf consummated in the deal which thej made. It is understood that the new owners will take charge of the road on June 1, and that John Skelton Williams wil be president and Cecil Gabbett gener al manager. The proposed line, which is now being surveyed from hare tc Nashville, Ga., will be connected wi. the Valdosta Southern here, and with the Ikies which are being merged tc i the north of here, will make the through line to Augusta. Colonel J M. Wilkinson, who built the Valdosta Southern, was the prinoljyil owner ot the road. It is regarded as one ol the best paying short lines In this sec tion. the KING of BLOOD PURIFIERS No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood dis eases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as “The King of Blood Purifiers,” and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because “IT CURES DISEASE," It is an honest medicine, made entire!)! of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run^ down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. Oue of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the ' system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member o£ the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get in such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effects of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains uncontaminated we are fortified against dis ease, and health is assured; but any impurity, humor or poison acts injuriously on the sys tem and affects the general health. Pus tular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. But all blood diseases.are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned the title of “KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS.” It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health- sustaining. Nothing reaches inherited blood troubles like S. S. S.; it removes every particle of the taint, purih s nud strengthens the weak, deteriorate! blood, and supplies it with the healthful properti* s it needs and establishes the ^ foundation for good health. As a tonic this * great medicine has no equal, and it will be fouricT RELY VEGETABLE especially bracing to weak, anaemic persons. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured perma nently by S. S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trac^t of the dis ease is left to break out in future years or to be transmitted to offspring. Ii you are in need of a blood purifier get “THE KING” of them all, S. S. S.—and good results are assured.

I myself have taken and always found it what It Is claimed to be. It thoroughly cleanses the system of Im purities, increases the appetite, improves the digestion, and builds up the general health. I have given it to my ohikdren with fine results. It promptly restores the appe tite and clears the skin of all eruptions. It is a very fine * blood tonic and has my hearty endorsement. 124 S. 9th St., Lebanon. Pa. P. H. THOMPSON • J. B. Loris, Horry County, S. C , A. B. May 8th, 1906. W. H Fred E. K.
