Retired Georgia Planter's Adviceto Kidney Sufferers. Regarding the wonderful curative m3tits of your Swamp-Root, I can not say to much. After suffering severely for three years or more with severe pains caused by weak kidneys, was finally induced to try Swamp-Root through a testimonial I read in one of the newspapers. I was in such a condition that I was in such a condition that I was obliged to arise from my bed six or eight times every night. I purchased a fifty-cent bottle and before it was usod I felt so much relief that I pur chased a one-dollar bottle and by the time this was takn the old pains had left my back and I could sleep the whole nipht through. I am a retired planter, 70 years of age and owing to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roor, 1 am in the best of health and feel iike a boy. I am always glad to recommend Swamp-Root to those who are in need of it.

Allsbrook LIFE INSURANCE To the Voters of Halifax Couuty: Some time ago I toid you I would be a candidate for Treasurer of Hal ifax county in the primaries to be held sometime this year and now I fulfill that promise. I do not base my claim on you and ask for your support simply because I have been a Democratic voter for thirty years, twenty-four years of which time have been spent in hold ing polls for my friends and the parry in some of the blackest town ships in the county and doing things for the party and my friends for no reward, and for which I never thought of asking anything in re turn. I am asking you for your support upon grounds higher than this. I might write pages of what I have done for my friends and for the party, and still I confess I have done nothing more than what I con ceive to have been my duty. Cer tainly it has been my pleasure. I want to ask forgivenness, and ask you to be cons-iderate of me in speak ing these things. Indeed I should not tell you of my political qualifi cations and what I have done for my friends for the party, but for the fact ihat there are a great many men in the county whom I do not know and who do not know me. I hall assume, however, that I am thoroughly fit to be your next Treasurer from a party standpoint ?.nd from the standpoint of loyalty to my friends. I ask ynu to sup port me btcpuse I be'ieve you are loyal to me as I have been to my friend and to the pnrty. I be'ieve for the good of the Democratic par ty and for f he good of the commu nity in which we live, that we should S'op. take stock and see where we are and find out, if possible, where we are drifting to. I wish I could say something that would arouse you to what I conceive to be your duty and my duty, viz., to put our foot hard on this ten dency to syndicate the Democratic party, turn it over to a few men i ... , , i vllU JOitl 111 ii CuilipfciCL LU COll LI Ol, shape the policies of the party and delegate themselves the power to fill all the important offices by men of their own choosing.

But they are really delicious thing to make our party in this when properly treated. eternally right in condemning this tendency to long tenure in office, or else they were wrong when they ask ed the people to support them for the offices they now hold. I have been content to help my friends and the party for thirty years, and now in asking you for your support I shall not ask you for a longer period than three terms. I shall make a clean, aggressive fightfor this office and I hope a majority of the good, loyal Democratic voters will take the same view of the tendency to disintegration of the party instead of progression, and give me their loyal support. I should like to see the Democratic pariy in this county stand for no special privileges and recognize merit in distributing patronage. I do not mean in my case only, for 1 know there are a thousand men in this county who are as much enti tled to the office as I. I am claim ing no superior qualities over them for the office I am asking. I am noi afier anybody particularly. I am simply condemning the system as 1 see it. I am told that the whole organiza tion in the county is solidly ogainst me. This I am not prepared to be lieve, however, as I have done too much for at least some of these parties to believe it. If this is so it is another proof why we should call a halt and see -where we are drifting to. If I am defeated for this offi. e it will not be by the office holders in the county, but by the plain voting people to whom I am addressing this. article. So I put my candidacy in your hands and what you do shall be my pleasure. I shall not attack any body personally. I hope there will be no cause for this. I simply ask a square deal from top to bottom and if I am defeated I will take the consequences. Ll am not begging for this office. I am simply asking your support because I think I have a valid claim on you for it. With such support from vou as T navp given my party and my friends 1 shall be pour next Treasurer of this cuaniy. - W. H. White. (Political Advertising.) him to see if he becomes tender.
