The kidneys are your

impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out

Dasies Spread by War.
(Atlanta Constitution.)
“There were no daisies in the
south,” said a southerner, “until after
the civil war. Now we have daisies
in profusion and thev are especially
abundant in the regions visited bv the
northern armies.
“Sherman's march to the sea can
be traced in the manner by a broad
trail of-daisies.
“How was the daisy brought south?
Undoubtedly it came in the h- that
was shipped from the north for fod

FEAR IN ATTEMPT TO RESCUE.
When a horse is overworked it lies
dow’n and in other ways declares its
inability to go further; you would con
sider it criminal to use force. ‘Many
a roan of human impulses, who would
not willingly harm a kitten, is guilty
of cruelty where his own stomach is
‘concerned. Over-drivi n, over worked,
when what it needs is something that
will digest the food eaten and help
the stomach to recuperate. Something
like Kodol For Dyspepsia that is sold
by Cherokee Drug Co., Gaffney; L. D.
Allison, Cowpens.
Some men look upon relitfion as a
sort of moral fire-escape.
If an article is imitated, the origi
nal is always best. Think it over,
and when you go to buy that box of
salve to keep around the house set
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. It is the
original and the name is stamped on
every box. Good for eczema, tetter,
boils, cuts and bruises, and especial
ly recommended for piles. Sold by

His Associate, Rev. Mr. Holcomb, and
Mrs. Jones Were With the Sick
Man When End Came.
Little Rock. Oct. 15.—The Rev. Sam
p. Jones, the well known evangelist,
of Cartersville, Ga., died early tjxiay
of heart failure in a sleeping car of
th e Rock Island Railroad train near
Perry, Arkansas. Jones had been con
ducting a successful revival at Ok
lahoma City, and left th»**e last night
for Georgia, his home. He desired
to attend a family reunion Tuesday,
being the fifty-ninth anniversary of his
birth. Mrs. Jones and their two
daughters were with him when he
'died.
He arose from his berth in the
sleeper about five this morning, com
plaining of sickness at the stomach,
drank a glass of hot water and imme
diately collapsed. The Rev. IVa/i Hol
comb. who lias been asociated with
Mr. Jones several years, took the dy
ing man in his arms and in a few min
utes the evangelist breathed hi.s last.
The body will he embalmed and sent
to Cartersville this afternoon, where
the interment will he held.
Sketch of Mr. Jones.
Rev. Sam P. .Tones was born at
Chambers county. Ala.. October 16th,
1847, and was reared in Cartersville,
Bartow county. Ga.. where he resided
at the time of his death. His father,
Captain John .1. Jones, was a lawyer
of note in Georgia, distinguished for
his intelligence and integrity, social
qualities and consistent piety. He pre
pared his son for the legal profession,
which he entered in early manhood,
with the fairest prospects and prom
ises of success.
After a life of wildness and social
excesses his father's death bed be
came the scene of his reformation and
in October, 1872, in Atlanta. Ga., he
was received on trial in the North
Georgia conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church. South. This step
astonished his friends, who did not be
lieve he could ever succeed in the
ministry. His first appointment was
the Vanwert circuit, in Bartow and
Polk counties. Ga.. which he served
three years. In 1876 he was sent to
Desoto circuit, where he remained two
years.
In 1880 he was appointed agent of
the North Georgia Conference Or
phans’ Home, when the home was un
der great financial embarrassment. He
not only relieved the home from debt
and saved it from financial ruin, hut
raised money and erected additional
buildings, and put the institution up
on a career of greatly enlarged useful
ness and prosperity.
Since that time he has been en
gaged in evangelistic work having
held revivals in all parts of America
from Washington to San Francisco
and from the Lakes to the Gulf. His
nower over men was marvelous and
his power over assemblies phenome
nal. He despised the mere arts of or
atory but possessed the eloauence of
earnestness and action, the fire and
glow of passion, the surprise- of
thought, which expressed in the lan
guage of the shop and field and illus
trated bv the common acts of life,
made him the most sensational
preacher who ever stood in an Ameri
can pulpit.
Governor Heyawrd Will Not Stay the
Court’s Sentence.
Columbia, Oct. 17—Commander
Johnson will he hanged on Friday at
Conway, there being absolutely no
possibility of executive Interference-
A message to the governor today in
dicated that the people of Conway are^
apprehensive lest some of the friends
of Johnson make an attempt to rescue
the man. Governor Heywmrd has sent
orders to Capt. Evans, of the Hussars
of Conwav, to hold himself ip readi
ness upon the order of the sheriff and
to do all in his power to carfv out the
sentence of the court.
1 A Leq Worth More Than a Man.
Jesse James, the noted outlaw’s
son, is at the age of thirty, one of the
most talented and respected lawyers
of Kansas City.
In a claim case that he recently
won, Mr. James to’d an amusing
story.
“There was a woman,” he said,
“whose husband was killed in a rail-
wav accident.- The railroad, to avoid
suit, gave her $5,000 damages.
“The sum satisfied the woman; hut
a month or two afterward, taking up
a newspaper, she resd about a man
who had lost his leg in the same ac
cident. and, behold! this man was
given by the company damages,to the
amount of $7,500.
“It made the woman mad. She
hastened at once to the office of the
railway’s claim adjuster. She said
t'itterly;
“How is this? Here you give a
man $7,500 for the loss of his leg,
while you only gave me $5,000 lor the
loss of my husband.
“The claim adjuster smiled ami
ably. and said in a soothing voice;
“ ‘Madam, the reason is quite plain.
The $7,500 won’t provide the poor man
with a new leg, whereas, with your
$5,000, you can easily get a new hus
band, and perhaps a better one.”
Senator Morgan, of Alabama has
called attention to the cement rock
deposits of his State in connection
with the building of the Panama Ca
nal. He points out the fact that vast
qu,antities of this rock is adjacent to
the Alabama and Tombighee rivers
and that an &ll water route !« possible

Information Concerning this Piece of
Legislation.
We are Indebted to the Merchant
Grocery company, of this city, for the
following information in regard to the
pure food law which will .go Inta ef
fect January 1st:
The pure food act passed June 30,
1906, goes into effect January 1. 1907.
Under this act, the selling Is inter
state commerce, of foods, drugs, me
dicines. confectionery or liquors which
are misbranded, adulterated or con
tain anything forbidden by the terms
of the act, i s punished by fine or im
prisonment.
It is important for everyone dealing
in food products or other products
convered by the act, to know just
what is permissible and what is for
bidden as well as what is required to
be done. This is expected to he made
clear by rules and regulations now
being prepared by a commission
which, during the week of September
17-22, held public hearings in New
York, and to he issued earlv next
month.
While it is impossible to sjate lust
what the rules and regulations will
provide, their .’ "ovisions will prob
ably he in certain important lines.
Labels will he required to be strict
ly " ecu rate as regards nature, quality
■and locality of origin of the "oods con
tained in the package. Analine colors
and coal tar preservatives or sweete
ners will probably he forbidden, or if
permitted will be required to he men
tioned in the label. Even the colors
considered harmless will not he per
mitted if used to conceal inferiority
Dealers who sell canned ^f»ods hot
tied goods or other goods in original
packages coming from .anoth • State
are responsible under the f
character of the goods in the packages
and the correctness of the label and
may be fined or imprisoned if the
goods are misbranded or contain any
thing forbidden bv law, but mtav avoid
such responsibility if they can pro
duce a guaranty from the partv from
whom they purchased that the goods
are not misbranded or adulterated, in
which case the •‘ 'sponsibilit- is trans
fered to the party giving the guaranty.
It is of very groat Importance to deal
ers to have al' such goods guaranteed,
as they will no doubt be required to
"uarantee them to their customers.
Under the pure food act, the label
becomes much more Important than it
has been heretofore, and this is true
also of the trade marks used on
foods etc. It is of very great impor
tance to have trade marks registered
as it is probable that misuse of a
trade marl:- will he consul red to he
misbranding and punishable under the
act. It is therefore necessarv to he
certain that dealers actually own the
trade marks which they u^ and to
protect them against misuse bv others.
Thi^an best be done bv applying; for
registration.

Remembered the Orphans.
Goucher, Oct. 16.—The people in
this community observed “work day”
for the orphanage. The result of this
was $50.00. The Baracca class at Ra
venna gave $11.00 of this amount.
This class is doing extremely well in
the w*ay of missionary work. Some
of them are very liberal in their gifts.
We hope to get them aroused to new
duties. There are sixteen in number
at iitesent.
Judging from the way some of them
are sporting we think our class will
be decreased in number. We resolved
at oup last meeting not to keen a mem
ber after he marries. So we expect to
have them promoted to the bible class.
We would give the names of those
who observed “work day,” but some of
them seriously object. X.
