BLACK-DRAUGHT
GOOD LAXATIVE
Black-Draught has been kept on
hand for all the family in the home
of Mr. W. A. Lemons, of Indepen
dence, Va., since twenty years ago.
Mr. Lemons writeg that he takes it
as a laxative in cases of “headache,
‘dull, tired feeling, biliousness.”
“And I take it if I feel uncomfort
able after a heavy meal,” he adds.
“] especially use it for sick head
ache. It certainly is good.”
‘When a man says ‘“Black-Draught
is good,” it is probably because he
remembers the prompt, refreshing
relief it brought in- constipation
tro* bles. Its benefits are felt be
cause it {s a simple, herb laxative,
‘SO natural in composition and ac
tion that thousands and thousands
of men and women prefer it when
a laxative is needed.—Advt.

* Winning Essay
Similarities of Andrew Jackson
and Franklin D, Roosevelt in
Their Attitude Toward the Amer
jcan People And A Short KEssay
on tie Origin of Jackson Day,” is
the title of Anna Kate Robertson’s
essay: .
By ANNA KATE ROBERTSON
Andew Jackson, the 7th presi
dent of the United States, came
into office as the first DEMO
CRAT; Franklin D. Roosevelt, the
thirty-second Commander-in-chiet
of the nation, is the seventh man
to be elected on the DEMOCRAT
IC ticket.
\ A new era began in history with
’the coming of Andrew Jackson
upon the stage of American politi
cal affairs; also America raised its
‘head from the din of discontent
and poverty when the great hu
manitarian, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
assumed office. Bach man set into
motion ‘political machinery’ aim
ed at securing voice, recognition,
and certajn rights for the masses.
Both men strove for economic
and social security for those who
had no clasg privilege. In the
election of each man, the common
people felt that they had an exec
utive who was their friend, and
’neither man has belied his politi
cal vow.
} Bach administration created a
new relationship between the peo
ple and the government, for
Federa]l control was returned to
Washington -+ establishing sound
banking principles, high tariffs,
and calling in of gold currency,
thus increasing national income.
They upset many peolitical tradi
tions and conventions -— but the
acts of both have been regarded as
being most constructive to the
welfare and good of the nation.
How ‘Jackson Day’ Originated
The war of 1812 gave Andrew
Jackson the great opportunity of
his life. At this time he was for
ty-five years old, and had been @
local figure in Tennessee. When
the decoration of war reached his
ears, and having been major-gen
eral of the Tennessee militia since
1802, he immediately offered hi¢
services and 2,000 militiamen to
the president.
During January. 1813, he was or
dered to New Orleans; by March !
he was organizing his troops in.
Natchez, when: he unexpectedlyJ
received orders to disband and
send his men home. Jackson
knowing that the men had no
means of transportation, became
angry, and on his own responsi
bilitary, secured a means of trans
portation for them in a body, later
the United States government, was
induced to reimburse him.
Later, during the year of 1813
he commanded a body of Tennes
see volunteers in a eampaign
against the Indians, whom he de
feated in Horeshow Bend in. Ala
bama. This wvictory brought him
into the notice -of the public, and
in 1814 he was commissioned as
major-general of the regulararmy.
twmle the British were using Pen
sacola. Fla., as a base for opera
tions in the South, Jackson iook
the responsibility upon himself
that an attact should be made, he
won by capturing the city. This
victory was important because it
won a way to supervise the de
fense of New Orieans. i
. On December 1, 1814, when
Jackson arrived at New Orleans
he found the city without defense
or protection., In a frenzy of en
ergy he inspired,hit men with en
thusiasm in construction brest
works, digging ditches, and all
sorts of -other perparations con
ductive to war. His ruling was
by an i{ron hand, he even arrested
ia judge who attempted to resist
the enforcement of martial law.
On January 8. 1815, the British
made a grand assault on the city,
but were defeated with heavy
loss, and Jackson, the victor, be
came the national hero.
The Battle of New Orleans was
the only notable victory won by
the Americans on land during. the
’War of 1812, and it was fought,
| strange to say, two weekg after the
| treaty of peace had been signed.
;In those days of slow communica
,tlon, neither army really knew un
til weeks later that the war was
Ireally over.
‘ ‘JACKSON DAY’ ig the popular
{ name given to the anniversary cel
| ebrating the victory of the BEnglish
lat New Orleans, January 8, 1815,
by General Andrew Jackson, who
afterward became the seventh
president of the United States. In
Loulsiana it is a legal holiday and

lin genera] throughout the United
States.
Winner of $5.00 Boys’ Prize
By JACK REID
To American presidents, Andrew
Jackson and TFranklin Roosevelt,
go down in history as having two
of the most similar attitudes to
ward the people as a whole ever
possessed by Uniteqd States presi
dents,
These two great Americans,
both staunch WDemocrats, belleved
in giving aid to common people.
Jackson fought, and Roosevelt is
fighting, to give the mass a
chance. Like Jackson, Roosevelt
today is able to sway the people
of our country—sway them through
his untiring efforts in behalf of
the Forgotten Man, the one who
deserves a chance. Jackson was
the hero of the nation during his
term of office, and Roosevelt is
now worshipped by the many peo
ple to whom he has brought hap
piness and contentment.
A great believer in a Democratic
form of government, “Old Hick
ory”, knew the people and made
their problems his problems. He
won a great struggle against polit
ical power being in the hands of a
few persons and gave the govern
ment back to the people.
With Jackson’s same courage
and determination, President
Roosevelt is extending sympathy
to the mass, and is fighting in a
“Jacksonian way”, to revive a na
tion that was, depression-stricken
when he was elected as its pilot.
WINNER OF $5.00 GIRLS
PRIZE
By DORIS HINSLEY,
Farmington, Ga.
My opinion of what makes
Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt's and
Andrew Jackson’s attitude toward
the people similar.
These two great men have done
for the country what the people
wished.
'fhey have several reasons why
their attitude toward the people
are similar. As a man, Jackson
was fully a Democrat. He started
the New Type of Democracy. He
believed in self-government. Jack
son was a Democrat by birth and
necessity, by thought and by
choice He knew little of the fine
theories of government, and cared
less. Jackson was elected by the
common people and he wished to
do their will. What he wanted to
do he moved straight onward to
do that. The men that spent their
time and money to elect Jackson
prosident, expected to be remem
bered when he went into office
and they were not disappointed.
He believed® in honesty and
thought it greater importance
than experience in public office.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Demoerat
also wishes to do the will of the
people. He believes that the peo
ple should have a part in some of
the undertakings. People that think
Roosevelt hasn’t helped the peopie
are very much mistaken. He has
done more for us than any other
president 5
Jackson was elected the second
term and we hope that Roosevell
wiil be too.
HONORABLE MENTION
By SARAH REID .
Child St School
The attitude of President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt toward the peopie
of the United Sties is very simi
lar to that of Andrew Jackson,
seventh president of this country.
As Jackson had in his day,
Roosevelt now has a great mass
following, and he supports that
group in every way possible. Jack
son knew the people in his day
and knew their every trouble. He
made great fights against govern
ment being in the hands of few
persons, and protected the rights
of each and every American citi
zen. “Old Hickory” had a mag
netic personality, a boldness of ac~
tion, and a favoritism wiph the{
people that enabled him to swayl
the mass
A Democrat in every - respect,
just as Jackson was, Roosevelt
takes the interests of the people ai
heart, and for the past three years
has been putting up a rgeat fight
to help those who both need and
deserve aid.
Both presidents also Dbelieved
that big businesses should not ex
cessively profit at the expense of
th: welfare >f the mass, and Jack
son gave and Roosevelt is now
giving a great effort to stop such.

When President Jackson went
into office, he showed that he be

a “kitchen cabinet.” What he
thought was right he did, not re-’
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
¢ ecing although, he often made
enemies,
President Roosevelt is very
much like Jackson. He began
dominating congress at the be
ginning of his administration, He
has determjnedly stuck to what
he thought he should do even
though there has been opposition
w song tellow-workers and the peo
ple. He created a “Brain Trust”
to help him, not unlike Jackson’s
“kitchen cabinet.” Both groups
have been criticized.
Both presidents have been Dem
ocratic toward the people. Not
only have they tried to make the
people a part of the government
but they have also been a part of
the people, making themselves

TRIUMPHANT DEMOCRACY
By JACK FULLILOVE
“To the United States!” was the
simple toast made by Andrew
Jackson and later by Franklin
Roosevelt, yet these four words
express the trge spirit of Democ
racy embodied by these two
thorough-bred Americans. Both
were crusaders for the same causes
~—to lead the American people out
of depression on to a safer an:
more solid basis,
Jackson possessed the same
dauntless and courageous charac
ter that has gained for Roosevelt
s tremendous influence on the
American people. Botly, have
shared the confidence of all
America., Webster wrote, “Persons
have come five hundred miles
(with no railroad, to-see Jackson.”
The same could be written about
Roosevelt, shown by the huge
ovation he received on his recent
trip to Atlanta. } A

Cash Bonus Payment

today a rule to bring before the
house the bonus measure backed
by the major veterans organiza

bill tomorrow, looking forward to
a vote Friday. :
“In the judgment of the com
mittee,”” the report said, “immed
iate cash payment of the adjusted
service certificates will increase the
purchasing power of the nation. It
believes that it is an essential part
of the recovery program, that the
present policy looking toward re
covery argued strongly that this
debt, which is just, due, and un
paid, should be paid in cash to the
defenders of our country, who ren
dered the services and paid in their
life-time.”
The committee said that addition

for payment would be about sl,-
000,000,000, It added the “conclusion”
that the adjusted service certifi
cate “is an acknowledgment that
the war service of the, then, flow

With neither Democratic leaders
nor the appropriations committee
suggesting any delay, bonus back-
ers planned to bring the measure
up for debate tomorrow.
To allow some members now
building political fences back home
to reach Washington ~ and others
who have scheduled Jackson day
political speches to get back to the
capital, arrangements were under
way to withhold the vote on pass
age until Friday.
Speaker Byrns and his lieuten
antg repeated a desire to dispose of
the issue promptly to clear the was

Bonus forces claimed sufficient
strength to pass any measure over
a presidential veto, but talk was
current, particularly in the senate,
over possibilities of framing somw
bill which might win White House
approval.
" The independent offices appro
