The result is stom ach distress, gas, belching, indi gestion and dyspepsia. Digestit is the new relief—it has been found a certain, quick and permanent remedy.

New York Sure For Oscar Underwood ~ The New York Herald, which is independent and reliable, and which is keeping an important record of all delegates to the national demo cratic convention as they are elected by the different states, gave the sit uatioz at the beginning of the week as follows: Clark, 140; Wilson, 118; Underwood, 101; Marshall, 30; Har mon, 4. : The Herald counts the New York delegates and those of Alabama for Underwood. It must have good reason for placing New York in the Underwood column. 1 These figures do Rot present the claims of the candidates and their managers, for Clark claims 180 and{ Wilson claims quite a‘number more than 118, but the Herald’s figures are gathered independently and given as the real, non-partisan situ ation, ‘ The situation points strongly to ward Underwood as the nominee of the Baltimore convention, There. will be 1,094 delegates in the con vention. The two-thirds rule will make it negessary for the nominee to receive 729. with the fight which Wilson or his managers have made on the other candidates, it is highly im probable, it is believed, that any of this strength will ever go to hime—— in fact. it is ppractically impossible‘ for such a ting to happen. Therefore, there are already 275 votes against Wilson. If Clark, Underwood and. Harmon combined get only 90 dele gates more out of the 701 yet to be. elected, Witson is out of it for good.‘ It is considered certain that Clark, Underwood and Harmon will get that many—and seeres more, judg ing by the states which have thus far acted. ‘Amusing Trick of Messengers.

Marines—soldiers serving on ship board—date back to the year 1664, when an order in council, dated Oc tober 16, authorized 1,200 English soldiers to be raised and fermed into a regiment. More regiments were later formed, and by 1769 the marines numbered 18,000 men. In the latter years of the French wars they num bered 32,000. The marines are today a feature of every navy, and in most countries. officers of the marines are equal in rank with those in the army and navy. Best Inducement for Work.

A Constitution reporter yester day interviewed a number of of ficers of the local regiments, and in about fifteen or sixteen men who were interviewed, there was only one man who said that he was not for Mr. Underwood. " “T have not taken much interest in the campaign,” said this 'man,f ‘“and I have been favoricg Mr. Wiison. I admit that I do not keep up with national affairs veryl | much, and it was not until just lastl ‘week . that it was brought to my attention that Congressman Un-f derwood had been so friendly to| ‘the national guardsmen of tbe' country. ] ““It so happened that a number | of weeks ago one of my friends’ called me by telephone and asked me to join the Woodrow Wilson club. I didn’t care much about it either way, so I told him to put| me down, That explains my mem-’ bership to that organization. | ““To tell the truth I do not know] who I will vote for, and I am not| sure that I will yote at all, Since| [ joined the Wilson clnb I do notl feel that I can copsistcntly vote for Underwood. My friends in the militia are urging me not to vote for Wilson and I may com promise the matter by making s business trip to another part of the state that day, and not vote at all.” Other officers of the militia are working hard for Mr. Underwood, however, and it is expected that they will get out the full vote, not only in Atlanta, but through the entite state, Colonel Walter E. Harris, of Macon, a prominent officer of the state militia and chairman of the general committee arranging for the confederate reunion at Macon, 1s one of the most enthusiastic Underwood supporters in the state, Practically ail of the Macon mili tiamen are solid for Underwood because of his great interest in‘the militia, and it is practically sure that the Alabama man will get a great vote from guardsmen all over Georgia, —Constitution. Newspaper Has Record for Size. The largest newspaper in the world was the Illuminated Quadruple Con stellation, which appeared in New York on Independence day, 1858. Its dimensions equaled that of a billiard table—eight feet long by six feet wide; and, strange to say for an Amer ican publication, it had no advertise- I ments. A copy of this mammoth new world production can be seen at the Newspaper Museum of Aix-la-Chapelle, l France. Its price was fifty cents. Tax Receiver’s Notice. Seconp Rounp.
