WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 23, 1920.
HOUSTON TO BE
REUNION HOST
General Thomas Informs
Georgia Vets of the
Date
Gflpt. Joe Day Stewart, adjutant
of Camp Sumter, U. C. V., has re
ceived a copy of general orders from
General James A. Thomas, state com
mander, conveying the informatior
that the general Confederate re
union would be held this year at
Houston, Tex., the dates being Octo
ber 6 to 10. General Thomas urges
as large a representation from Geor
gia as possible at the gathering.
More Are Now Taking
Typhoid Inoculations
Sumter county people are begin
ning to accept inoculation as a pre
ventive of typhoid more freely than
heretofore, according to Dr. B. P.
Bond, county health commissioner.
Yesterday Dr. Bond was at Sumter
and Anthony school house, where he
administered about fifty inoculations,
and today he visited Plains, Thomp
son and Thalean school house for the
same purpose. Tomorrow he will go
go Huntington, Leslie, DeSoto and
Cobb, where he hopes to inoculate
many others. The inoculations are
free. They cause small, if any re
action, Dr, Bond says, but are a posi
tive preventive of typhoid fever. The
continued and universal use of this
serum, he says, will in time entirely
eradicate the disease which in past
years has caused thousands of deaths
in every community.
Convict Lipe Denies
Gang Cruelty Charge
“A pack of lies,” is the statement
of Billy Lipe, a Sumter county con
vict, regarding the statement of
Thurman Young that convicts on the
Fulton county gang are not treated
humanely. Lipe served with Young
on the gang at Hapeville, and he
says convicts were punished there
when they violated the rules, and not
otherwise, as Young said. The Ful
ton county gang is a “hard” gang,
according to Lipe, due to the fact that
there are always about a hundred
convicts there, many of them har
dened criminals. Lipe is a trusty
here, and said today that he had ap
plied for a parole.
“Young’s statement was made
without my knowledge and without
my consent,” said Line this after
noon, “and I want people to know
that I had nothing whatever to do
with it.”
Brazil and Argentina will buy
100,000,000 apples from the United
States tih s year, and will take
50,000,000 more if they can be ship
ped in cold storage.
THAT DULL ACHING
Don’t worry and complain about
a bad back. Get rid of it! For weak
kidneys, lame and achy backs, your
neighbors recommend Doan’s Kidney
Pills. Read this statement:
Mrs. W. L. Howell, 914 Forsyth
St., Americus, says: “A few years
ago my kidneys became affected.
They didn’t act properly and I felt
tired and languid all the time. My
back was sore and lame and I had
constant, dull ache in the small of
it. When I would stoop over, I could
hardly straighten again and dizzy
spells came over me and black specks
would float before my eyes, blurring
my sight. Hearing of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I decided to take them and
a box and a half entirely cured me
of the complaint. I have never had
a recurrence of these ailments
since.”

HARDING WAS ‘TERROR’ AS
‘KID,’ OLD NEIGHBORS SAY
Once Dragged Coffin
Through Streets in
Boys’ Ghost Parade
BY RUSS SIMONTON,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.
MARION, Ohio, June 23 The'
man who would be president, Warren
G. Harding, Republican nominee,
once dragged a coffin through the
streets of a town near here. He
propped it against the door "oets of
the mayor’s house.
I have that from the lips of W. E,
Ritz, farmer of Iberia, ten miles
from here, who helped him do it.
Harding was in school at Iberia and
Ritz a farm boy.
The two of them raided an under
taker’s store and dragged forth the;
coffin for a ghost parade.
Everybody in Caledonia, where
Harding went to school, has person
al acquaintance with Harding. Every
body’s anxious to tell stories of his
boyhood.
* * *
It was evening and the folks were
in wicker rockers oii the front
porches of their homes along the
main street of Caled >nia. From door
to door I went to ask the same ques
tion:
“What do you know about Hard
ing?”
Bob Highly, 82 years old and a
veteran, remembers that Warren
was the “worst little diwle” in
school. Says Highly: “All the other
kids were afraid of their maws, but
that Harding kid was a holy terror.
Smarter than a whip, though, I’ve
heard tell. Alius had his lessons and
never seemed to be astudyin’.
• • *
Kate Highly, Bob’s wife, recalled
the day that Harding came to paint
the summer house and spilled red
paint on her kitchen floor.
“I’ll never forget,” she laughed,
“how scared he was I’d be mad, and
I guess I was.”
* • *
Mrs. Harriet Osborn never did
have her barn painted as well as
Harding did the job when he was
14 years old. Mrs. Osborn remember
ed, too, the first days of the Hard
ings in Caledonia when Mrs. Hard
ing seemed always to have a baby
in her arms and when the fees of
the country doctor, George T.
Harding, the candidate’s father, were
hardly enough for the family’s
needs.
“Thd doctor used to come over
sometimes in the winter time to see
me,” she said, “and he would stand
bv the stove warming his hands and
his cuffs would be all tattered.
There wasn’t enough sickness in
them days here.”
* * *
Sam Anderson, hardware man,
used to “toot the next horn to War
ren” in the Caledonia town band.
Warren wasn’t much of a musician,
Anderson confessed.
■* * *
His wife sat behind Anderson.
She wanted totalk and yet—
Finally she told me:
“Warren was mighty popular with
the girls. I went to school with him
and he pulled my hair and sometimes
he carried my books home. He was
not more than 14 then. Well, sir
hadn’t seen him in years. Both of
us were married. Then he came here
to talk here one night and I went
up to hear him. After the speaking
was over I walked up to the
I was intending to call him ‘senator’
or ‘mister’ but no sooner than hf
categht sight of me than he sings
out. ‘Well, well, if it ain’t my old
friend Minnie—Minnie Anderson’.”
“He never said ‘ain’t’,” protested
her husband and I left them in a
friendlv argument.

Woodmen Circle State
Clerk Here Thursday
A meeting of the Woodmen Circle
will be held in Woodmen Hall Thurs
day evening at 7:30 o’clock. Mrs.

the circle. This will be in the nature
of a farewell visit to the . member
