and I soon felt better and he tola me ‘I
want you to take about Bix bottles.’ So
1 did and I keep house and do all my
own work and work out by the day and
feel fine now. I tell every one about
the Vegetable Compound, for so many
of my friends thought I would not get

Why suffer from a bad back, from

Bainbridye people recommend Doans
Kidney Pills. Ask your neighbor.
Could you ask for stronger proof of
merit ?
Mrs. E. W. Hall, 667 Planters St.,
Bainbridge, gave the following state
ment June 22,1914: “I suffered with
weak kidneys and my back was sore
and lame and ached in the small
part. When I tried to straightei I
couldn't do it without the help of my
hands. My back ached so at night
I got nervous, and I could hardly get
to sleep. My kidney's didn't act right
and I had dizzy spells and black
spots came before my eyes. Head
aches were frequent, too. A friend
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills
and after 1 had finished the second
box, which I got from Ehrlich Drug
Co., the trouble was gone."
On April 3, 1922, Mrs. Hall added:
“I will never go back on Doan's Kid
ney Pills. They have always given
wonderful relief."

Roderick Lean
Cut more Mower
Hay Making Simplified
With Standard Fordson Equipment
You cannot afford to lose time in the haying season.
There are few sections where the weather at haying
time is always ideal. That is the one time of year
when speed is the essence of good farming. It is no
uncommon happening for some farmers to lose
several tons of hay by a delay in getting it off the
ground.
This work is now speeded up by using the Fordson'
with the Roderick Lean Cutmore Mower.
The CUTMORE is attached direct to the tractor
between the front and rear wheels in the position
where the driver can have perfect control over it.
The power is taken from the worm gear that drives
the rear wheels, so it is always even and dependable.
The CUTMORE makes hay cutting with the
Fordson a one-man job. There is ample power for
cutting the heaviest crops, including alfalfa, clover,
vetch, velvet beans, pea hay and lespedeza.
The cutter bar may be disconnected in a few
minutes, so that the tractor may be used for other
work. The draw bar is always available for pulling
a wagon, rake or other tool. Attached to your
Fordson, the Cutmore means greater speed and
economy of handling your hay crop.

ATLANTA, Nov. 19.—Search was
begun in Atlanta and other Georgia
.cities Saturday for J. C. Todd, of Ho-
gansville, large land owner, former
chairman of the board of county com
missioners of Troup county, and for
mer director of the Bank of Hogan-
ville, who disappeared from his home
mysteriously last Friday. Before he
left Mr. Todd settled up all his finan
cial indebtedness in the community
and resigned as county commissioner
and director of his bank.
Regarding his disappearance, A. F.
Todd, his brother, of 70 Hartford
avenue, Atlanta, said Saturday night:
“He drove from his home in Ho-
gansville to his farm in Merriwether
county in his car. He left his car
with a tenant and a note saying he
was going to visit a son in Jackson
ville, Fla. He walked to Primrose,
a station about four miles distant, on
the Central of Georgia railway. He
bought a ticket to Newnan. It is
thought at Newnan that he purchased
a ticket to Atlanta. A wire from his
son in Jacksonville said he had not
showed up there.
“My brother severed his connect
ion with the Bank of Hogansville as
director, also with the board of coun
ty commissioners as chairman, and
setttled up all his indebtedness in the
community. His family relations are
more than pleasant. He is in fine
condition financially, owning more
than 1,000 acres of farm land, be
sides his home in the city, and took
with him several hundred dollars in
sach. We do not suspect foul play,
but we think he is very likely de
mented from brooding over the loss
of a son in the army in France.
“When last seen he wore a dark
suit with pin stripe, black Stetson
slouch hat. carried a brown oversoat
over his arm. He weighs 190 pounds
and is six feet tall, has dark com
plexion with black hair and mustache
sprinkled with gray.*'

WITNESS ARRESTED
ON MURDER CHARGE
Man From Texas Arrested in
Gadsden, Ala., Charged With
Murder Committed Thirty'
Three Years Ago.
THREE ARE SLAIN
BY UNKNOWN BAND
Bodies of Two Men and a Wo
man Found Dead With Their
Hands Bound Behind Their
Backs.
PIKEVILLE, Ten., Nov. 19.—That
a band of six or seven unidentified
men killed Jesse Rector, aged larrer,
his son, York Rector, and the latter‘s
wife, at their home near Melvine, in
Bledsoe county, Friday night, is the
opinion of Sheriff A. T. Goforth, who
returned late last night from the
scene of the crime.
The only* evidence of any value se
cured by the sheriff was furnished by
Tom Rector, son of Jesse Rector, and
surviving member of the family. The
young Rector, who is a typical moun
taineer possessed of the unusual ab
ility to follow a human trail, told the
sheriff that his kinsmen were mur
dered by a party of six or seven men,
He said, that he had found their trail
and followed the tracks through a
field and into a road, where they were
mingled with other tracks.
Sherifi Goforth stated today that
he had found Jesse and York Reltor
with their hands tied behind their
backs with wire. The head of the
younger man had been partly blown
away with a shotgun, and the re
mainder riddled with pistol billets.
The father had been shot twice with
pistols. Mrs. Rector's head had been
badly mutilated. It was sdid that at
least four guns were used by the fir
ing party.
While there is an absence of mo
tive, Sheriff Goforth is proceeding on
the theory that the killings are an
outcome of the murder of Mailen
Thurman, whose body was recently
discovered in his home after he had
been dead a week. The opinion was
expressed by the sheriff that mous-
taineers had connected the Rectors
with the death of Thurman, and had
organized and took revenge.

GADSDEN, Alu., Nov. 19.—As he
was coming down from the witness
stand here Friday in the trial of a
civil case in the circuit court, a man
who claimed to be W. W. Wilburn,
of Texas, was arrested on a charge
of being the man who killed John
Goss in Cherokee county in 1899. His
real name iB declared to be Wm. J.
Wilkerson.
Wilburn, alias Wilkerson, was tes
tifying in a civil suit brought by Mrs
Wilburn, who claimed to have a le
gal deed from Wilkerson to a tract
of 160 acres o fland in Etowah coun
ty.
After the killing of Goss it is said
that Wilkerson fled the country and
ohanged his name to Wilburn. He
held the patent to 160 acrea of land
in this county, and wrote his mother
in Montana that she might have it.
The mother sold the tract to Tom
Pollard in 1907.
In 1919 Mrs. Wilburn appeared
here with a deed to the farm from
Wilkerson and when an ejectment
suit against Pollard came to trial,
Wilburn appeared us a witness. And
while giving testimony he was recog
nized by a Cherokee county officer,
and as he stopped down from the
stand he was arrested for murder.
He denieB that he was the person in
dicted 33 years ago for the killing
of Gosa.

“When I began taking Tanlac,"
says Mrs. Shirley R. Froneberger, of
116 East Third St., Gastonia, N. C.,
“I was almost a nervous wreck. My
condition had become such that I was
alnyost desperate. Ji was troubled
with gas on my stomach and had the
sick headache so bad 1 often had to
take to my bed. I was run down ao
that even the care of my three chil
dren was almost beyond my strength.
“What six bottles of Tanlac haa
done for me is too wonderful for
words to express. My nerves are aa
calm now as nerves can be, and I am
off to sleep nearly is soon as I got In
bed at night. I have gained twenty-
flve pounds and am feeling fine. If
it is over necessary for me to take
medicine again I will certainly take
more Tanlac."
