DANCE OF LAST EVENING
LOVELY AFFAIR
One of the loveliest home dances
imaginable was that given Tuesday
evening by Miss Queenelle Harrold at
her home on College street, compli
menting her house guests who are
with her this week. The entire lower
floor was thrown into one long
apartment, which was graced with
palms, ferns and summer flowers ar
ranged against the wall in vases and
pockets. Crepe myrtle, pink roses and
pink gladoli were used with tasteful
profusion throughout the dancing
space, and in the dining room a pret
ty color scheme of yellow was effec
ted with the use of brown-eyed Su
sans and yellow cannas. Yellow shad
ed candles added to the scene, while
the frocks worn by the young girls
present were notably pretty.
Miss Harrold, the young hostess,
wore a dress composed of a combina
tion of pink and green chiffon in del
icate shades. Miss Lauline Hendrick
was charming in a dress of black sat
in with blue sequins, while the frock
worn by Miss Susie Mims was of a
delicate shade of green and built of
taffeta. Miss Mildred Dismukes was
very striking in a lace dress made
over blue satin, and Miss Geraldine
Goodroe wore a yellow taffeta with
trimmings of black.
Punch was served on the side porch
by Miss Alice Harrold, wearing a
dainty frock of y-fllow organdie, as
sisted by Miss Frances Shiver who
wore an organide in the orchid color.
Ferns and palms made this especially

HATLEY TO PLAY
HERE THURSDAY
Americus Loses Weird
Game to Cordele
9 to 7
In as weird and sad a baseball
game as that of last Friday was
superb, Americus lost to Cordele in
a seven inning contest on the local
grounds Tuesday afternoon by a
score of 9 to 7. The game -was
not without its thrills and flashes
of good playing, however, as for in
stance John Wheatley’s resounding
homer to left field in the sixth in
ning after the score had stood ap
parently hopelessly 9-1 for. a couple
of innings and the Americus team
seemed to have gone to pieces. Two
men were on bases when John sent
the ball far over Gould’s head and
three runs romped in. In the next
inning Aumericus scored three more
runs and missed a fourth by inches
Tommy Hooks, runniing on an er
ror on the part of Cordele’s third
baseman, who dropped the ball on
a throw to catch him running on a
passed ball, (being nipped at the'
plate. , ~ I
The Cordele players started the
game in a bad mood, the Americus
team being half an hour late as- (
sembling and causing the visitors to
wait about w>th rain threatening and
a long trip home facing them. When
things were going badly for them in
the seventh, and one or two decis
ions of Umpire Jennings had been
vigorously protested, they decided to
quit and at the end of the inning
walked off the field, dec’aring it
was too dark to play, despite the
fact that the Americus team desired
to continue. Their contention was
not without meri I ’, however.
Most of the runs on each side
weie made on er-eis, althougn some
good clouting was none
The remainder of the series be
tween Cordele and A mericus was call
ed off last evening by mutual con
sent, Americus being unable to meet
the engagement in Cordele today and
Cordele desiring to transfer the pro
posed game Thursday to that city
which was refused by Americus, this
afternoon Manager Cogdell, of the
Americus team, announced that the
fast Hatley team, which has been
playing excellent ball this season
would meet the Americus tearn here

’ Crisp Talked of For
Next Speaker of House
(Continued From Page 1.)
, and Judge Crisp is not far removed

umn.
Crisp’s Fine Training.
I Should Kitchin decline to run for
I I the place, Judge Crisp’s fine train-j
ing as a parliamentarian
. stand him in good stead and give
. him something of an advantage n
a contest. As parliomentarian un
. der Speaker Clark before he came
, to congress and later as parliamen
tarian of the Baltimore convention,
he has made quite a reputation
1 among the convention and Jegisla-'
. tive authorities on procedure.
Some members of the house be
: lieve tha Speaker Clark will again'
. seek to honor. A majority of
those who have been discussing the;
i matter lately do not entertain this
view. This is especially true of the'
. younger membership of the house, 1
who would revolt against Speaker
Clark just as the Republicans re
volted against Cannon some years
ago—although for entirely differ
ent reasons. Even his close friends
in the house say the Missourian is
prone to sleep too much (and Io
discourage the young members from
making speeches. (
There is added hope for Judge
Crisp in the possibility that Mr.
Kitchin may be content to remain
majority leader of the house under
Democratic control and retire four
years from now to make a race for
the United States senate against the
• senior senator from North Carolina,
i Furnifold M. Simmons. Such is in
the air.

Aad Sour Stomach Caused This

very constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
Cosy weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. They would
gripe me and afterwards It seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I heard of Black-Draught and de
cided to try it I found it just what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion noon
Improved. I got well of the sour stom
ach, my bowels soon senned normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
dose now and then, and was la good
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black-
Draught for It is the finest laxative
one can use."
Thedford’s Black-Draught has sot
many years been found of great value

To Take Aspirin
ASPIRIN’S value in the
treatment of Headaches,
Neuralgia. Influenza, Rheu
matism, Nervousness and
Nausea is so well known
that it need not be retold.
Rut now Aspirin is out of
date. People don’t need to
bother with water when they
want to take Aspirin any
more. All they do is use
Capatone and it is already
dissolved.
Besides Collier’s Capatone
contains no opiate, no ace
tanilid nor chloral. It’s per
fectly safe.
Use Collier’s Capatone, the
modern Aspirin.
Insist on getting the ori
ginal. That you may be
sure, look for the signature
'“J. Homer -Collier”, which
appears on every bottle.
All druggists sell Capatone
