NEGRO REPUBS
ENDORSE WOOD
Taunton, White, And
Richardson, Negro, En
dorsed As Delegates
H. J. Martin. Sumter county ne
gro school teacher, who is also sec
retary’ of the Richardson faction of
the Republican party in the county
returned Sunday from Marshallville,
where he attended the district con
vention of the faction. The dele
gation from Sumter county headed
by Jury Clark was seated in the con
vention, Martin said, the other dele
gation representing the Stiles fac
tion among the negro Republicans,
not being permitteed to enter the
hall. The seated delegation was
constituted of Eugene Lockett,
white, of Americus; H. J. Martin,
•nd Jury Clark, negroes, of Ameri
cus, and F. M. Hightower, negro, of
Andersonville. The delegation re
fused seats in the convention was
composed entirely of negroes. Lock
ett, one of the delegates seated was
a candidate for mayor of Americus
four years ago as a Democrat being
opposedb y L. G. Council, who
was elected, and the late Lee Allen,
and was runner-up in the race. His
change in political creed was not
generally known here.
Resolutions endorsing the candi
dacy of General Leonard Wood as
the party’s presidential candidate
.were adopted by the convention, and
Charles Taunton, a white man of
Cuthbert, and E. S. Richardson, a
Marshallville negro, were endorsed
as delegates to represent the district
at the Chicago convention, with H.
J. Martin as alternate.
In addition to endorsing the can
didacy of General Wood, the conven
tion re-elected the members of the
executive committee, thirty-four in
number, and E. S. Richarson was
again named chairman, with H. J.
Martin as secretary. Richardson and
Martin are both well-known negroes,
and have been active in Republican
politics in this section during many
years.
Four white men, Charles Taunton,
of Cuthbert; W. P. Pope, of Lily;
J. J. Gordy, of Richland, and Eugene
Lockett, of Americus, attended the
convention as delegates and partici
pated in its deliberation, Martin
statedo n his return here.

REMOVES CAUSE
OF HEADACHE
Doctors Condemn Remedies
That Merely Relieve the Pain
—Claim Aspironal Also Re
moves Cause. Absolutely
Safe.
Doctors and druggists are delight
ed with Aspironal, the new elixir that
relieves headaches (and colds) within
two minutes and also removes the
cause and ’’revents the return head
ache the next day by gently acting
on the liver, correcting biliousness
and constipation which are usually
xi'ne cause of headache.
The next time you have a headache
go to your nearest drug store, hand
the clerk half a dollar for a bottle of
Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonsful in a little water.
With your watch in your hand count
off two minutes and call for your
money back, as per manufacturer's
guarantee, if you can’t feel your
headache fading away ' within the
tirrie limit. Your druggist invites
you and expects you to try Aspironal.
Everybody is doing it. — (adv.)

AT the corner, under the arc light,
some music started. A crowd of
passersby collected. It was not the
toe-tantalizing jazz; It was a soul-stir
ring hymn.
“Pretty soft,” drawled the young
man whose shoulders propped up the
brick store front of a pool hall. “Some
people seem to get by with it, eh? Do
a little singsong on a soap-box every
night- and call it a day’s work. Prob’-
bly the life of Reilly when you’re a
buck private In the Salvation Army.
No K. P. potato peeling. Pretty soft!”
And so Colonel Alexander M. Damon,
field secretary of the Salvation Army,
was asked about it. He is tn charge
of recruiting Salvationists at the Na
tional Headquarters, No. 122 West
Fourteenth street, New York city.
“Say, that's good I" boomed the Col
onel. “A soft job in the Salvation
Army? I never heard of it. Listen,
my friend:
“In the United States right now the
Salvation Army needs 500 men and
women. It is the hardest work I know ;
the pay is the lowest; the hours, why,
there aren’t any! A Salvation Army
officer is on call night and day. Sick
ness in the tenements, starving kids.

Paving Gravel
Arrives Here
One carload of gravel to be used :
in the paving of East College street
has been received by the city, and
. families, convicts and their families,
’; unmarried young women with babies —
Iwe aid them all. Strangers and friends,
j all religions, all races are just human
j beings to us, you see.
“Do you know the prospective Salva
[ tiou Army officer works a year without
I pay? It takes two years of 24-hour-a
--! day service to God and to man before
he, or she, is commissioned a lieuten
ant. And what do you think the pay
is? Exactly sl4 a week! Our remu
i aeration conies from serving others.
. So we are well paid.
“Salvationists must visit the jails
| and prisons. Penniless families of
! convicts are helped out. Thousands of
| missing relations are found and re
turned to their families every year by
I the Salvation Army officers.”
Then the visitor remembered those
I two Salvation Army lassies, bustling
iin the greasy, yellow mud of that
| Flanders dugout, baking pies and serv
ing doughnuts and hot chocolate to
some weary, half starved infantrymen, i
Day after day. and nights, too. And
1 during the whole of that maddening
August drive those lassies just kept on
, smiling and handing out food.
“Pretty soft," mused the visitor;
I I “pret-ty soft I”
as soon as another shipment ar-1
rives, the laying of concrete on that
thoroughfare will begin. The gravel
is being secured from Montgomery,
Ala., and great difficulty is expe
rienced in g"tting shipments thru
promptly.

Commissioners
In Monthly Session
The Board of County Commission-
i ers met this morning in monthly ses- ;
sion and much routine business was i
j transacted. Present at the meeting '
j were Chairman N. A. Ray and Com
j missioners J. E. Poole, J. J. Wilson,
R. S. Oliver and S. E. Statham. A
delegation of ladies representing the
Associated Charities and headed by
Mrs. C. J. Sherlock, appeared before
i the board, and on their petition $25 '
i monthly was appropriated to assist
that organization in its charitable
j work here. The board also approved
i the petition of Tax Receiver George
D. Jones for additional compensation j
as allowed by an act of the Legis
lature passed last year. This addi- j
tional compensation, which gives the |
tax receiver the same compensation i
as the tax collector, had previously
been refused the tax receiver on the
ground that the law was unconstitu
tional. A decision of the Court of
Appeals recently rendered, however,
I held the law constitutional, and the
additional compensation was accord
ingly ordered paid Mr. Jones both
for this year and last. The action of
the board means that Mr. Jones will
receive between SSOO and SI,OOO ad
ditional for his services.
Walter Bell, young son of Mr. and
Mrs. Clay Bell, who has been quite
ill, is vury much improved.
Mrs. G. W. Perry, of Richland, is
visiting het’ daughter, Mrs. Clay
Bell, being called here by the illness
of her little grandson, Water Bel.
