Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, di» Courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order ' or diseased.

How Bret Harte Met Sala. There is an odd story about Bret Harte and (Jeorge Augustus Sala in a book of an exceedingly personal sort just issued anonymously in London. The author, who is -sported to be the daughter of a distinguished artist, thus tells the story: “Papa had just made the acquaint ance of Bret Harte. and lie thought it would be ( harming to arrange a meet ing between him and Sala. and one of our great dinner parties was arranged, with Bret Harte as the guest of the evening. Mr, and Mrs. Sala arrived early, and Mr. Sala.was talking to me in the inner drawing room when Bret Harte was announced. I noticed Mr. Sala start and look out eagerly into the other room, but before he could move papa came up. with Bret Harte, saying. ‘I want to introduce my old friend. Sala. to you. Mr. Harte.’ Sala got up. but tiefore anything else could be said Bret Harte looked straight at Sala aud remarked quite coolly, ‘Sorry to make unpleasant scenes, but I am not going to be introduced to that scoundrel.’ Imagine the sensation if you can!” Kodol For Dyspepsia has helped thousands of people who have had stomach trouble.

I could not digest anything I ate and in the spring of 1902 I bought a bottle of Kodol and the ben efit I received from that bottle all the gold In Georgia could not buy.

Aside from any question of party, would not such a con summation be a fitting pledge that sectionalism is forever ended and that the country Is indis solubly one? Moreover, should not the generous north be the section to de mand the placing of a southern man In the White House? Nothing could more touch the heart of the south or go further toward restoring mutual faith and good feeling. Have not the senseless pnrtlsaulsm aud prejudice that would prevent this happy event at last burned themselves out? Before the civil war the number of presidents was about equally divided between the two sections—eight from the south to seven from the north. It is only fair to say, however, that the southern occupants of the office were far and away more conspicuous and able than those from the north. Like wise their tenure of office was twice as long—approximately forty-nine years to twenty-four. The Virginia and Ten nessee chief magistrates of those days were giants. Here are names to con jure with: Washington, Jefferson, Madison. Monroe and Jacksou. Very much of (he world’s history might be raked over without fiuding another such group.

His nomination for governor follow ed one of the hottest campaigns In the history of Georgia. Against Smith were some of the most distinguished citlzens v of the state who were strug gling for the nomination. In addition, he was opposed by the powerful rail road interests that had been running the politics of Georgia for years. Hoke Smith took fa stand against corpora tion domination as unqualified and de termined as that of La Toilette in Wis consin. He waged the battle for a year, going into every county. Despite all the powerful interests combined against him he was overwhelmingly victorious. • The recent triumph of the two cent fare was largely due to the efforts of Governor Smith. He also favored the prohibitory law which went into effect in Georgia the first of the year, one of the results of the remarkable temper ance wave that has recently swept over the entire south. Moreover, Hoke Smith is an effective speaker, a man of broad culture, of clean life, of lofty Ideals, of a rounded character and of a solid ability that have won the uni versal respect of his people. A man of that record and reputation is of presidential size, whether he lives in Georgia or Maine. The lines of eternal grace in any character have to be cnt with ex tremely sharp tools.

The north had great men in those days, but she elected mighty few of them to the presideucy. Since the war the south has had but one president, Andrew Johnson, and she was not proud of him. Neither was the north. It must not be forgotten that the greatest of all the presidents, Abraham Lincoln, was bom in the south. Nor is it entirely beside the point to remark that Theodore Roosevelt is the son of a southern mother. On this showing is the south not en titled to another trial? If we are real ly one people, why not be big enough and generous enough to show It? The war has been ended more than forty years. Why not have it ended In fact? Noted Southern Candidate.

Georgia has never furnished a presi dent of the United States. In the person of her present governor, the Hou. Hoke Smith, she now has a can didate big enough to be considered aside from location and still bigger when to his own claims are added those of his section and his state. Governor Smith Is descended fro'ffi the famous General Hoke on one side and from a New England educator on the other. He has.been a distinguish ed lawyer and editor. He was in Cleveland’s cabinet, but had ruck a lofty sense of duty aud party loyalty that, although a gold man, be decided to support Bryan In 1896 and resigned bis portfolio. Prior to bis elevation tu the cabinet he was an ardent tariff re A factor that should operate power fully in Governor Smith’s favor is his name. The large, Industrious and in fiuential Smith family has never had a president. If its members would only stand together, they could make It worth while to nominate one of their number. They might even Join forces with the Browns, the Joneses and other numerous clans that have likewise lacked White House representation. A trust could be arranged on tbe basis that a Smith would be elected in 1908. a Brown In 1012, a Jones In 1916, and so on til! all the large tribes had their turn. It is a fact that the presidency has usually gone to men of unusual patronymics. This is not a square deal, and it should 1*.* stopped. The hour lias come when the Smiths should stand together, and they can do no bet ter than to unite for the lion. Hoke Smith of Georgia. Their battlecry could be adapted from the German: Hoch! Iloeh! Hoke! Tiger! Great Smith Family. A campaign song could be built on lines something like the following: Who are we? Who are we? We are the great Smith fam-i-lee! Every (log, they aav, Must have his day, And this is ours, so get out of the way! If not interfered with by tbe police or the big stick, this could be made very effective. Imagine It being roared out by marching millions of Smiths! In the opinion of some people tbe worst thing against Hoke Smith Is that he was once mixed up with Grover Cleveland, but be did bis best to re move tbe stalu by resigning before tbe end of bis term. Besides, it has gone out of fashion to knock a man with a volume of ancient history. Much can be forgiven one who can be a Democrat, a temperance advocate and president of a Sunday school asso ciation all at the same time. This is a Democrat of the new school of Bryan rather than one of tbe old school of Tammany Hall. Like Uncle Jo# Cannon, Hoke Bipltb was born in North Carolina. Cann<>r went west to enrich the brains and sensationalize the language of Indian.; and Illinois, while Sc.; h 'Lifted south to make Ih'o ir.o;'• interesting for tin* railroads. That these two distinguish (*.1 Tar Heels are now candidates fo;- the presidency shows what a North Carolina birtliplai c may do for a man provided he leaves.the strlte at a suffi eiently early age. Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution and mem tier of the Dem ocratic national committee, was slated for the succession to the governship. and rumor said that this was only to be a stepping stone to the senate. It was a beautiful plan, but something happened to it. Tbe something was the Hon. Hoke SmiRr. After lie got through the plan was not so lovely to look upon or would not have been if there had been enough left of it to be seen with the uaked eye. Joked With His First Name. When Mr. Smith went into the caM net the northern papers showed a dis position to regard him as a joke. They had all kind$ of fun with his first name, playfully changing it to Hocus- pocus aud other irreverent forms. It did not take long, however, to discover that the wearer of the name was a big man in ids way. big enough to live down any name or any efforts of the funny men relative thereto. This fact dawned even on the jokesmiths. after which Mr. Smith was treated with re spect. A man cannot help his name any more than lie can help being fat o.* having warts. Considering its distiu guished orlgi*. Hoke is a very good name indeed. As for Smith, no one would think of reflecting on that any more than he would of reflecting on the attAictiou of gravitation. To paraphrase what Lincoln said of the common people, the Lord must love tin* Smiths—he made so many of them. We hear much these days of varl ous kinds of consciousness, class con sciousness among the rest What the Smiths need is a family consciousness or name consciousness that would cause them to stand together. The ar dor fo# their common patronymic should so burn iu their bosoms that it would consume to ashes all such minor differences ns Smythe and Schmidt, es pecially Smythe. Any kind of con sciousness that would obliterate Smythe should l»e hailed as a public benefac tor. After the simplified spelling board finishes with such words as “tho” aud “kist” it should get busy with Smythe and a few other proper names. Marching Through Georgia. When Hoke Smith was secretary of the interior be naturally appointed a large number of Georgians. It kept on till people from other states made remarks. Senator Voorbees of Indiana had a Hoosier friend that he wanted an office for. but so long as there were any uunppoipted applicants from Mr. Smith’s own state he was in de spair. One day Voorhees walked dejectedly through the interior department whis tling "Marching Through Georgia.” The tune grated on Smith’s sensitive ears, and he reproachfully said: “What are you whistling that for?” "I just can’t help it” explained Senator Voorhees. “Whenever I come through your department I feel as If 1 were marching through Georgia.” That day Voorhees’ Indiana friend was appointed. Physically Mr. Smith is a giant six feet and two inches in height and weighing over 200 pounds. His bead, face and body all give tbe impression of massiveness. Southern Legal Light. He is only fifty-three years old, and as he is a man of iron constitution and of a long lived race be should have the best of his career ahead of him. He was educated by his father, a distin guished professor, still living, from whom he inherits bis physical and some of his mental characteristics. Tbe father is a cousin of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the celebrated head of the Chris tian Scientists, although he is not a believer in that faith. Hoke Smith was admitted to the bar at the age of eighteen and is today one of the most distinguished lawyers of the south. Mrs. Smith, who is one of the most famous hostesses of Atlanta. Is a daughter of Thomas R. R. Cobb, the Confederate general. A brother of Governor Smith married the daughter of a still more celebrated general, John B. Gordon. Foe of Corporation Rule. Examined from every possible stand point Mr. Smith seems an ideal candi date. Of fine appearance, an able law yer, a forceful speaker, of distinguish ed family, well educated, located in a section that deserves recognition, an uncompromising foe of corporation rule, a man who has shown his high loyalty to principle iu many fights, his well rounded strength and availability appear the more he is studied. Despite these facts he is not actively a candi date. He shares the belief that a southern man cannot yet l*e elected president. It Is only bis peculiar mer its and claims that have forced him upon the attention of the country, de spite this old time prejudice and his own modesty. In all candor It must be said that the shadows cast by coming events look more and more like the features of William Jennings Bryan of Nebras ka. With most Democrats support of Bryau has grown into a habit. Be sides, there Is some poetic Justice in tbe claim that so long as the country has adopted his principles they ought i to adopt tbe man.

Some good stories are told regarding Sir Antony MacDonnell, who Is cred ited with a desire to relinquish tbe un- dersecretaryshlp of Ireland, a post be has now held for five years. Here is one of them: On one occasion he told Lord Ashbourne, tbe Tory lord cham- cellor of Ireland under tbe last admin istration, that he believed three-fourths of the trouble in Ireland was due to officialism. Tbe lord chancellor was aghast. “I’m astounded,” he said, “that you shluld say such a thing to me.” “Oh, I’ve said that to a bigger man than you!” retorted Sir Antony, With his comprehensive smile. “Who was that?” asked Lord Ashbourne, in credulous. “Tbe king.” said Sir An tony. The rest was silence.—London Tit-Bits. One For Each. A missionary traveling some years ago in the southern states, coming to a lonely farmhouse at nightfall, deemed it wise to negotiate for hospitality. Before going to rest he proposed fam ily worship, which seemed a new de parture. Tire servants were called In. and he began to read. “Servants, be obedient to them that are your mas ters, according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eye service as men pleases, but as serv ants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.” As he was reading the farmer whis pered to his wife: “That is capital. We must give each of our men and wo men servants one of those books.” The reading went on, “And ye mas ters. do the same things unto them,' forbearing threatenings, knowing that your Master also Is in heaven.” “Ah.” said one of the servants, “that is one for the master.”—Home Herald. Fruitful In Romance*. The English baronetage is fairly fruitful iu romances. A cabman bar onet who resides at Burton-on-Trent, Sir Walter Tyrell. can trace his descent from the Sir Walter Tyrell whose ar row killed William Rufus in the New forest so many centuries ago. The an cient borough of Tamworth boasts a tobacconist baronet, Sir Harry Gor- iug, who serves workingmen customers with ounces of thick twist, his family estate having long ago vanished into the ewigkeit. The master of tbe Whit by Union workhouse, Jonn Lawson, has a well founded claim to a baronet cy conferred iu Stuart times.

I have used It arid prescribed It largely during the past ^eighteen months, and I want to say that Vi nol is all you claim for It and more.” Dr. Bronchelle, of Thomasvllle Ga., a physician well known In the South, writes; “I use Vinol in my family and In my general practice with most excellent results for bron-l chlal and pulmonary troubles and to create strength.” . | Another physician writes: “I am satisfied that Vinol derives Its won derful live-giving and strength-creat ing power from the medicinal cura tive elements found in the cod’s liver. It is the most satisfactory strength creator and vital!zer for old people, weak women and delicate children which It hag ever been my pleasure to prescribe." The reason that Vinol has such re markable curative and strength-creat ing power is because it Is made by a scientific, extractive and concen-, trr.ting process from fresh cod’s livers, combining with peptonate of iron (which is a needful constituent for the blood) all the medicinal, heal-j ing andbody-building elements of cod liver oil, but no oil.
