COUNTY WARRANT CASE GOES
TO STATE SUPREME COURT
Judge Searcy Rules That “Duplicate”
Warrants are Void
Judge W. E. H. Searcy, Jr., has
rendered a decision that the now cel
ebrated “duplicate” warrants held by
the Continental Trust Cos. against
Butts county are void. The ca3e will
will be taken to the supreme court.
It will be recalled that the county
issued waranta amounting to some
$6,000 to the Saulbury Metal and
Culvert Cos. These warrants, it was
claimed, were lost. Without the orig
inal warrants being cancelled, dupli
cate warrants were issued, and these
were bought by the Continental
Trust Cos. The county has refused
to pay the “duplicate” warrants, and
in his decision Judge Searcy holds that
they are void and constitute no claim
against the county.

1,800,000 women engaged in agricul

little additional training operate trac

YOUR NEIGHBOR’S CHICKENS
Sometimes you live near enough to
be bothered by your neighbor's chick
ens. Remember these things:
1. Killing the invading fowl is us
ually unsuccessful.
2. Quarreling about them is un
successful.
3. Enduring is unsuccessful.
4. An attractive nest in which the
neighbor’s hen is enticed to lay is
successful; you get the eggs, the
neighbor gets wise.
5. A lively young dog can be train
ed to put fear in the heart of the
hens.
6. Protect your plants as far as
possible with wire netting.
7. Catch every hen that comes in;
keep it and give it to the neighbor
only when he comes for it; kindly,
gently and only with smiles; some day
he will get ashamed of himself.—The
Progressive Farmer.
MOTHER! DON’T TAKE
CHANCES IF CHILD'S
TONGUE IS COATED
If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bil
ious, Clean Little Liver
and Bowels
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty
their bowels, which become clogged
up with waste, liver gets sluggish,
stomach sour.
Look at the tongue, Mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children’s ail
ment, give a teaspoonful of “Califor
nia Syrup of Figs,” then don’t worry,
because it is perfectly harmless, and
in a few hours all this constipated
poison, sour bile and fermenting
waste will gently move out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. A thorough “inside
cleansing” is ofttimes all that is nec
essary. It should be the first treat
ment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bot
tle of “California Syrup of Figs,”
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Look
carefully and see that it is made by
the “California Fig Syrup Company.”

Not strange for the Studebaker because the hubs are
of fine, close grain tough, strong and treated with a,

Notice the hubs on the next Studebaker you pass on the

And in these hubs are set die famous Studebaker slope
