Signal, Miss.—“For a year or longer I had indigestion, and had it bad,” says Mrs. E. S. Holman, of this place. “Everything I ate hurt me. I would have burning in my stomach and smothering spells, and after meals feel right dizzy. My head begin to uche, and I would want to lie down, but felt I couldn’t for I would smother. “Unless one has had such trouble, they don’t know what it is. I was talking to a neighbor one day and told her how I had been affected. She told me it w’as indigestion and to try Black-Draught, which I did. I took a few large doses and then a pinch after meals; and for fully four months now I haven’t had indigestion. I eat what ever I please and when I please, but keep up the Black-Draught—just an occasional dose.” When you have a feeling of discom fort after meals, try the suggestion above. Thousands of people have found that Black-Draught promotes relief in indigestion by stimulating the liver and stomach to perform their normal functions. Insist on Thedford’s, the only genu ine.

The Republican partisan press, compelled to acknowledge Under wood’s great ability and capacity so leadership, frankly admits that his nomination ist more to be feared by the Republicans than any other Democrat. It is more and more evident, the editorial straws in the wind show, that the Southern question has gradually subsided and by conven tion time will have little or no in fluence. The Northren press not inclined to stress the question of Southern residence, and turns to other matters as being more p-ertinent to a discussion of avail ability. Taken as a whole, the press of the country has received Mr. Under wood’s candidacy in away that is very gratifying to his friends as pointed out here today by news paper editors.

MMES IH HILITII UNIT Major J. L. Newbern Heads Movement To Secure Com pany There VALDOSTA, February 29. Major J. L. Newbern is in receipt of letters and other communica tions from Adjutant General Cox. from Col. James M. Kimbrough, and from the Federal War Depart ment concerning the organization of a rifle company in Valdosta, These communications give the nec essary steps for organizing as well as suggestions as to the local en dorsements which should be sent ui. The need of a rifle company in Valdosta from a standpoint of pro tection in emergency is of such general knowledge as that little need be said. In any direction it is a distance of approximately 109 miles to the nearest National Guard Unit, thus placing Valdosta in the center of a large area without any adequate force in the -event of an emergency. A rifle company under the new Federal laws would be a financial asset both to the city and to the in dividual members of such a com pany. To the city it would mean between eight and nine thousand dollars of Federal money coming in here annually or would mean about S7OO of Federal money turned loose here each month, every dol lar of which would represent net profit to the community. To the members of such a company it means reasonable pay for each drill. fIMCLIM SOUTHER* TITLE Knocks Out Farmer Lodge, American Heavyweight, in Fifth Round BUENOS AIRES, February M —Luis Firpo is still heavyweight champion of South America today having knocked out Farmer Lodge, American heavyweight, in the fifth round of their bout last night at River Platt football field.

Feb. 29.—At a mass meeting of over 200 citizen, of Madison here Thursday after noon, the m: yor and council were authorized to take such steps as they see fit looking to the estab lishment of a manufacturing en terprise in Madison which will turn out pants and shirts made from cotton.

Investigation by a committee of leading statisticians of methods of compiling cotton crop and stock estimates by the census bureau has been determined upon by Secretaiy Hoover ‘who announced last night that the committee would be in structed to study all phases of th? Controversy arising from the cotton stocks -estimate of last August by the bureau. Mr. Hoover's action followed a conference earlier in the day with a group of southern senators head ed by Senator Smith, of South Carolina, who later announced that a resolution he had intended in tended introducing calling for :» senatorial investigation would be withheld for the present. The Sena tor said he had found an apparent discrepancy in the August esti mates, the result of which was to add 610,000 bales of cotton to the “carry over” for the years 1923- 1924.
