MACE GIDDENS
, GIVEN RETRIAL
Negro Whose Surrender Was
First Refused By Governor Os
Indiana, Wins On Appeal
TIFTON, Oct. 18. -Mace Giddens,!
< olored, convicted of murder in Worth '
county for the killing’ of Deputy:
Sheriff W. I’. Giddpns, and sentenced !
to bang, has been granted a new trial |
ly the Georgia Supreme court. The ’
negro killed the deputy when the of- i
officer entered the negro’s home to*
arrest him on a misdemeanor
charge.
The case was given national no
toriety through the negro’s escape to
Indiana and his arrest there. The ;
governor of Indiana refused io sue- ■
render Giddens to the Georgia au
thorities until he sent a delegation !
to Worth county to investigate con
ditions and to secure assurances that;
the negro would be given a fair trial. 1
After the governor’s representatives ;
made the visit, Giddens was surrend- i
ered to the Georgia authorities, tried, I
convicted and sentenced to hang. Now i
he gets a new trial.
.Joe Jackson, another Worth coun- ;
ty negro, tried and convicted of the I
murder of a negro and sentenced to
hang August 26, was denied a new
trial by the Supreme court and Judge
R. Eve will set a new date for his i
execution.

KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
if your Sack hurts or Bladder
bothers you.
The American men mid. women must
1 guard consia.nt.ly against Kidney trouble,
I because w<‘ eat too much and all our food
' is rich. Our blood is tilled with urio
acid'which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from Overwork, become
sluggish : the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, Gladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps of
j had; your back hurts or tip* urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
| obliged to seek relief two or three times
j during the night; if you suffer with sick
j headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
: stzirnach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar
macist about four ounces of dad Salts;
take a tahJespoonful in a glass of
water liefore breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
'I his famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes rind lemon .juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidnevs;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
I ending bladder disorders.
.Tad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-watcr beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
; a mistake by having a good kidney flush
ing any time.

What President Harding aid
About Business Years Ago Is Good Advice Today
WARREN G. HARDING, President of the United States, several years
ago, while soliciting patronage for his newspaper plant in Marion,
Ohio it is recorded, was askedby a fellow townsman this question:
“Well, Warren, how do you find business?
And this was Mr. Harding’s reply:
“By going after it.’’
What the man, who is now our nation schief executive said, then is just as true
today, and always will be.
You will find business “By going after it.”
