KNOCKED OUT
SUPREME COURT RULES
Lower Court Has Been
Reversed
The supreme court of Georgia has
rendered a decision reversing Judge
W. E. H. Searcy, Jr., in the Jackson
school bond case. Judge Searcy, it
will Ire recalled, passed an order vali
dating the school bonds. The inter
venors canried the case up on the
ground that there should have been a
special registration for the bond elec
tion. That contention was upheld by
the Supreme Court.
The decision is of wide local inter

worked, run down, nervous, could not
eat or sleep. I felt like crying all the
time. I tried different remedies with
out benefit. The doctor said it was a
wonder I was alive, and when Vinol
was given me I began to improve.
I have taken eight botdes and am
now strong and perfectly healthy in
every respect, and have gained in

enough.”—Mrs. Sarah A. Jones, 1025

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost
Wo are all at a danger point. On
tho use of good common sense in our
191S farm and garden operations de
pends prosperity or our ‘‘going broke.”
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain ut present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It’s a time above all others to play
eafe; to produce all -possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cat down the store bill.
A good pieco of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted tho year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. It
will save you more money than you
made on tno best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!
Hastings’ 1918 Seed Book tells all
about tho right kind of a money sav
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it- It tells about the farm crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real and regular farm.prosperity. It’s

MARVELOUS SPEED ATTAINED
WITH NEW TELEGRAPH
Within the past few weeks a seven
league stride Tias been made in high
speed telegraphy, says the February
Popular Mechanics Magazine. An ap
aratus, which in actual tests has prov
ed its ability to transmit over a single
grounded wire 6,000 words a minute,
has been evolved.
The real significance of this escapes
one until it is realized that 6,000
words set in type will fill seven and a
half standard magazine pages.
Details of what appears to be an
epoch-making achievement must be
withheld for military reasons. It is % a
war invention and has for its chief
purpose the liberation of hundreds of (
expert operators for the signal corps
without disorganizing our much need-|
ed commercial lines. No secret is di
vulged, Ihowever, when the apparatus
is described as a printing-telegraph
system depending upon universally
used recording instrument that has
never before been associatd with tel
egraphy. The system is applicable to
wireless but so far has not been actu
ally used in connection with it.

SLOW
Seagirt would not lie, I know, but
he is dradfully careless with the
truth. He said that the horse that he
hired to go to Glenellen last summer
was so slow that a spider wove a web
in the wheel. Children came and
made mud pies in the shade of the
buggy. At one point he had an ex
citing race with a caterpillar. A wo
man came out and asked him to
please drive a little faster, he was
keeping the sun off her tomatoes. He
•said the horse was slower than a bar
ber be know’s, who is so slow that the
whiskers grow faster than he can
shave, and by the time he is through
the customer has a full beard.—Chi

FRENCH NOW RE-USE SOIL
ED ABSORBENT COTTON
Through the ingenuity of a French
chemist who was struck by the fact
that in the military hospitals of Paris
alone about 4,400 pounds of absor
bent cotton was used daily, a process
has been developed which makes it
possible to use soiled cotton a second
time, according to the February Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. The first
step in the treatment is the removal
of all grease by boiling 10 or 12 hours
in a soda solution, or treating it un
der pressure for three hours in a
sealed container filled with the same
solution. After this the cotton *is
thoroughly washed in a machine, and
all the moisture removed by placing
it in a high-speed centrifugal drier.
Drying is followed by bleaching with
hypochlorite of lime and a second
washing and drying. Finally the puri
! fied product is carded, packed and
again sterilized.
TAKE “CASCARETS" IF
HEADACHY, BILIOUS
AND CONSTIPATED
Best For Liver and Bowels,
Bad Breath, Bad Colds,
Sour Stoamch
Get a 10-eent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, coated
tongue, head and nose clogged up
with a cold—always trace this to tor
pid liter; delayed or fermenting food
in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the
intestines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes conges
tion and that dull, throbbing, sicken
ing headache.
Cascarets immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigest
ed food and foul gases, takes'the ex
cess bile from the liver and carry out
all the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep—a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomactt sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months, advt.
Now Is a Good Time
To Treat Your Catarrh
Mild weather aid treatment.
Don’t be misled into thinking that
your Catarrh is gone. The first touch
of winter weather will bring it back
with all its discomforts.
But this is an excellent time to
thoroughly cleanse the blood of the
germs of Catarrh, and be forever
rid of the troublesome sprays and
douches that can never cure you.
