PAGE TWO WOMAN GOVERNOR TO STILL FIGHT KLAN Mrs. Ferguson \Vi!l Dismiss Cap itol Employees Who Are Members of Organization AUSTIN, August 28.—N0 mem ber of the Ku Klux Klan will be ap pointed to posts at the Texas capi tol nor will present office-holders in positions filled by appointment be permitted to remain if their affilia tions with the secret order ire known to her, Mrs. Miriam A. !'<•>- guson, of Temple, democratic nomi nee for governor, is quoted as tar ing in a copyrighted article which ap ( peftted in the Austin American. “I’ll not let a single capital < r.» ploye whom I know to be a mein’a r of the Ku Klux Klan remain in cf fiee.” the nominee is quoted as say ing in an interview obtained from her at her home in Temple Monday. "Mrs. Ferguson plans to continue her campaign against the Ku Klux Klan and what she terms as secret domination of Texas politics by a hooded order, according to the Cap itol city newspaper. She plans to have carried into effect, the Aus tin American interview states, the ■)_>iaiik of her campaign platform in which she specifically condeins the Ku Klux Klan and proposes legislation against masking, against masked assembly, and for compul sory registration of memberships in secret orders for public inspection at the county clerk’s office in each county. ■ ■ Her intentions in regard to Klan legislation she made known Monday, according to the Austin American, by referring her interviewer to a published copy of her campaign plat form. She added that upon her elec tion she plans to exert her influence as governor for the adoption of this legislation. It is as much to the wave of anti- Klan sentiment as to the jro-Fergu son element of Texas voters that Mrs. Ferguson attributes her success in Saturday’s primary and she con siders this as a mandate from th? voters to continue the aggressive policy against the Ku Klux Klan, FOR HOME AND STABLE “ The extraordinary Borozone treatment for flesh wounds, cuts, sores, galls, burns and scalds is just as effective in the stable as in the home.

It is a substantial concrete structure, a great improvement over the old bridge. While this bridge was under con- > struction travel for several weeks had to be detoured byway of the Brooksville road or by the Morgan road. Either way increased the ins tance and was unpleasant to travel ers. At present the road force is work ing near the Tuck place, formerly owned by J. .1. Sealy. Several months will elapse before the high way to the Terrell county line will hav e been completed, imimiii EWMfflECffll - Odessa-Moscow Flyer Derailed ■ With Fatal Results; Rail moved By Vandals ODESSA, August 28. —Forty pas sengers were killed and a large num ber injured when an express train from Odessa to Moscow, which left here last night, was derailed 200 miles away.

Two gnarled and twisted monarchs of the forest, who have withstood the advance of civilization’s devastat ing machines and traffic for many years, have at last bowed thejr proud heads to the inevitable and departed with the construction of new pavement in front of the city hall here. The death warrant for the two trees which have been jeal ously guarded in times past, was signed when it became necessary to move the curb back in order to give greater clearance at the corner. They were two of the last trees that have survived in Atlanta’s downtown district. LITTLE HOPE EXISTS OF RAISING LUSITANIA LONDON, August 28. —Chances are that the Lusitania, sunk off t’ae Irish coast by a German torpedo in May 1915, never will be raised, ac cording to David Masters, author of a book which describes the wonders of salvage. The sheer weight of the sea, the writer points out, quickly obliter ates man’s handiwork, and the Lusi tania probably ceased to be a ship years ago. It is extremely likely that the tremendous pressure to which she was subjected at the depth of 288 feet long ago crushed her flat, he says. The liner's 30-ton safe, full of valuables, would be strong enough, one might think, to resist the pres sure of the sea; but even the chances of salving the safe alone The Atlanta Journal Has 8 Comic Pages The Sunday Journal has increased its colored comic sections to 8 full sized pages.

Ertzberger, Local Agent, I THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER from the liner’s strong room do not appeal to the writer as being the risk. Scores of schemes have been pro pounded for salving the Lusitania. An American has proposed to use a submarine which would tire tor pedoes through the hull. E“ch tor pedo would cany a steel cable. When sufficient cables had been fired they would be picked up or the other side, brought to the sur face, and the wreck lifted from the depths. Experts say this ingenious scheme is simple in theory, but im practicable, and that the Lusitania remains, and is likely to remain, where she sunk more than nine years ago. ENGINEER DIES AT ENGINE THROTFLE MACON, August 28—A South ern Railway freight traip ran for three miles last night on the main line between Macon and Atlanta without an engineer at the throttle. When the fireman, Gib Adams, ne gro, discovered that the engineer was not blowing for crossings, he investigated and found the engin eer’s seat vacant. The negro stopped the train and with tire assistance of . the screw • found the body of the engineer, Guy N. Hancock, of Atlanta, three miles back besidE~the track. One leg was broken and there were minor bruises on the body. _Jt is believed Mr. Hancock, one of the j oldest freight engineers m point of I service on the Atlanta-Macon divi sion, had died from heart failure, | and when he was stricken the body fell from the cab. The fireman and crew reported here that the train was running about thirty miles an hour when the tragedy occurred. The engineer’s watch bore mute testimony to the time of the acci dent, its hands being stopped at three minutes past 8 o’clock. According to acquaintance, Mr. j Hancock was between 35 and 40 years of age. His body was picked up by the train crew and taken to Atlanta in the cab of his engine.

This is based on the fact that hot weather is hard on a teething child. One of the most famous chil dren’s specialists says that a healthy child in teething may be fretful and sleep poorly for a few nights, may show loss of appetite, and slight fever, and may drool, but such spells should only last three or four days and most of the symptoms commonly attributed to teething com e from indigestion due to wrong food. For children’s indigestion, there’s nothing mor e effective than Livo iax, and they like to take it. You can get a good sized bottle at the drug store for 30c.— (adv.)
