MONDAY AFTERNOON. SEPTEMBER I, 1924 I)® ONCE BOLTER; 'CUT' BPffl TICKET Party Nominee Refused to ‘Swal low’ Free Silver Issue Dur in 1896 Election BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, September I. There ought to be a feeling of camaraderie between Robert La I 1 ol lette and John W. Davis. Davis, of course, is now a party ••regular." He’s a deep-dyed Democrat. Being the panvs standard bearer, he couldn’t well confess to anything else. But according to friends and neighbors out in Clarksourg, W. Va Davis at on e -time, even m the’face of violent opposition fr in his father who was an extreme Democratic partisan, ditched part, regularity and voted foe an In dependent candidate. Since La Follette is now run ning as an ‘lndependent, ’’ he is not asking party regulars in vot ing for him to do anytlung more heretical than the present Demo cratic candidate did back in 1896. • • • It’s an interesting, perhaps even atyric, play of fat e that gives Da vis, as running mate for the presi dency, the brother of the mi-.n whose candidacy he is said to have ■•cut.” For John W.’s defection came in William Jennings Bryan’s first campaign, when “free silver” was the big issue. Democrats who couldn’t stand Bryan’s free silver doctrines met ■t Indianapolis in September, ’96, and under the name of the Na tional (Gold) Democratic Conven tion nominated John M. Parker of Illinois and Simon B. Buckner of Kentucky, to run independently. Davis, now the regular Demo cratic champion, supported Parker and Buckner, the “Independents.” In Stafford and Prince George counties, Virginia, justices of the peace, before whom local violators of tlie prohibition law are brought for trial, are “tempering justice with reason.” Most of the arrests are on charges of making or selling “moonshine” by small farmers Lack in the country. These men. most of them with large families, always hav e a difficult time “mak ing ends meet” financially. Crop are usually scant and cash scarce. Instead of sending those con victed forthwith to jail or th workhouse, some of the magis trates have been pronouncing sen tence, same to become effective this fall after the crops are harvested. “Get your crops taken care of and all in by Nov. 15, so your women and children will have something to live on, and then report to mo here ready to begin sentence of 90 days,” is a frequent order. These sentences are said to find high favor with the violators, for they are able to provide for their families before going to jail and ar e assured of room and board for themselves during most of the winter. ♦ ♦ ♦ Birds of a featther flock, togeth er, but fine feathers don’t make brave birds. This W as demonstrated in th? courtyard at the Freer art gallery the other day when a band of English sparrows, perhaps object mg to the upstage attitude of a brilliantly plumed peacock, de scended upon him en masse and Put him ignominiously to flight. • • • Bill Donovan has been chosen by Attorney General Stone to assist >n the administration of federal criminal laws, other than anti-trust and prohibition cases. Not “Wild Bill” Donovan, but “Colonel Bill,” of Buffalo, N. Y. Donovan was one of Stone’s crack law students a few years ago in Columbia Law School. For •is part in the war he won the Congressional Medal ot Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross and ’be Distinguished Service Medal. CALIPH’S TREASURES OFFERED FOR SALE CONSTANTINOPLE Sept. l.The question of what is to be done with the treasures of the caliph is occupy ing front page space in all Turkish newspapers. These treasures con tain som e of the most valuable gems in existence. One group of papers demands ’hat the treasure be sold at interna tional auctin, so that the money may become available for much needed purposes of reconstructing th e coun ti'y and for relieving distress among the abjectly poor. Until 1916 the treasure was kept the palaee. of Top-Kapu. After ’he present regime succeeded to power it was brought to the mosque Aehmed Pasha at Angora. The measure includes the gems and works of art collected by ih.e sultans and caliphs through centuries, here are necklaces of wilnut sized ' ‘nmonds, medallions of rubies and topaz, chains of pearls of priceless '•-due, diadems and crowns of pre ' 'ous stones, goblets and cups of k’old and silver, swords and scimitars •oid pistols set with jewels, grid ths ’amous saddles of the syttaps and princes, which are studded with dia monds and other precious stones.

Ini' BUSKS H MEH WITH SIJPT. BHUL Americus Representatives and Seaboard Officials Unable to Get Together on Plan A meeting of business men held Saturday afternoon in the offices of the Americus and Sumter County Chamber of Commerce was address ed by E. C. Bagwell, superintendin': of the Alabama division of the Sea board Air Line. The subject dis cussed was the proposal of the Sea board to discontinue operation of the Shoo Fly train between Helena and Columbus, and after consider able discussion it was decided that the two interests could not be brought into agreement. Present at the meeting besides Supt. Bagwell and W. W. Dykes, representing the Seaboard, there were J. E. Mathis, Edgar Shipp, W. T. Lane, Frank Sheffield, G. C. Webb John W. Shiver, W. M. Jones, E. L. Carswell and Henry P. Ever ett. These gentlemen ali joined in the formal discussion that ensued and Plan No. 1, as proposed by the Seaboard was rejected upon the ground that it denies proper service to patrons of the Seaboard living west of Americus. Seaboard officials present pre sented statistics showing that there moves an average of only two pas sengers daily between Americus and Savannah over both Seaboard and Central lines, and that between Sa vannah and Montgomery over the Centra! of Georgia, the Seaboard and the Atlantic Coast Line only an average of five passengers daily are hauled. These statistics, they assert, fail to justify, the operation of through trains on this line, and being unable to agree’ upon the sub stitution of Plan No. 1, Seaboard ..officials’ were given to understand that Americus representatives would oppose the removal of the present Shoo Fly trade train. meeting of patrons of ifte Seaboard is scheduled to be held Wednesday at Cordele. At this meeting the proposed Plan No. 1 will be again submitted by Seaboard rep resentatives as a compromise in con nection with the removal of the Shoo Fly train. It has not been determined whether ( or not Ameri cus will be represented at this meet ing, but today this was thought im probable. Plan No. 1, which as al ready been published in the Times- Recorder gives what is considered here as extremely poor service to Seaboard patrons west of Americus, and in the interest of these people, Americus is opposing the plan strenuously. A proposal advanced by Ameri cus representatives to institute trade trains between Americus and Mont gomery and between Americus and some point east of here was reject ed by the railroad officials. The objection to this plan is the as sumption by railroad officials that such trains would not be patronized sufficiently to justify their opera tion. The operation of a through night train between Savannah and Montgomery was rejected upon the ground that trains formerly operat ed upon practically the same sche dule as proposed had failed to de velop revenue sufficient to pay ex penses.

But Paul is not discouraged. He says he will next try to ship from Hamburg, where he is not so well known. He prefers American ships for his ventures because the officers are easier on stowaways than men of other nationality. He is striving to reach Springfield, Ohio, where nt claims to have friends. Young Krupp is typical of scores of German youngesters who haunt the docks at Bremerhhven and seek an opportunity to slip into ships bouriH for the United States. Paul has been trying for three years, and is well known to the emigration au thorities at New York. They prompt ly send him back on the ship that brought him over. LaFollette and Coolidge Break Silence Attitude Continued from page 1 Davis embarked on a three weeks’ tour. His first stop will b e today at Wheeling and his farthest ob jective is Denver, Colo., where he > is to speak September 11. Accom panied by several close advisers a large personal staff and a group of newspaper correspondents, the Democratic standard bearer is trav eling for the first time on a special train. His own car has been equip ped with an amplifier so that the crowds who gather at the stations along the way to greet him may be able to hear clearly his rear plat- I form speeches. The first of these speeches is scheduled for early today at Graf ton, W. Va., where the nominee said his first word to the people of his own state when he was en route to his own home at Clarksburg, early last month to receive formal noti fication of his nomination. There will be brief halts later at several other stations before Wheeling is reached. Arriving at Wheeling in the ear ly afternoon Mr. Davis will be escorted to the Wheeling park where he is to speak at the an nual Labor Day celebration of the Ohio Valley trades and labor as sembly. Because of th e nature of the occasion he is not expected to deliver a political address. Leaving Wheeling late this even ing, his train will pass through Ohio and Indiana en route to Chicago, wher e it is due early Tuesday. The nominee will spend three days in that city conferring with leaders from several western states and with those in charge of western headquarters. Then will come the drive into the far West with the first address at Omaha, Neb., on September 6. I SAGE TEA KEEPS YOUR HAIR DARK When Mixed With Sulphur It Brings Back Its Beautiful Lustre At Once Gray hair, however handsome, de notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When- it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred-fold. Don’t stay gray 1 Look young I Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com pound,” which is merely the old-titne recipe improved by the addition of oth er ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use prepara tion, because it darkens the hair beau tifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; af ter another application or two, its natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you ap pear years younger.

Os that I am sure.” The tax reduction was passed unanimously. With the reduction in rate and with the falling off of more than a half million in taxable values, the saving to the people of the county is quite an appreciable amount, it was stated. The state rate of 5 mills, of course, is to be added to the conn ty rate of 12 mills, making a total of 17 mills. The commissioners adjourned over to Monday, September Bth, when tax levies from the various school districts will be received from the county board of education and then the legal tax fixing resolu tion will be finally adopted. An unusual number of, pauper negro cases came before the board and each was granted help. “There is no one but the county to look af ter these old, decrepit negroes,” said Chairman Ray. “Unless the county grants them a few dollars a month for food, they would starve.” Some of the negroes were given financial help. Others were given permission to enter the county home for the poor. Dr. J. W. Chambliss, chairman of the county health board, and Dr. J. W. Payne, county physi-ian, made their regular report to the boa>-d, snowing expenditures and results obtained by the board. _ The County health board made xneir formal request for an appro priation of $5,180 for next year. Uns request was not acted on to day, but was carried over until an other meeting. Dr. Chambliss’ full report will ap pear m the Times Recorder TuX CAPITOL BUILDING IS VALUED AT $25,500,000 WASHINGTON, Spt. I. The Capitol building of the United States, which houses both branches of congress and the Supreme court, has been valued at $25,500,000. This figure represents actual cost. Were current l o cal real estate values taken, if would be much higher. The next day Mr. Davis will be the guest of Charles W. Bryan, at Lin coln, and then will go to Denver, where he will rest for a couple of days. Duty ..

CLARENCE CLARK WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT Clarence Clark, a young boy re siding at Richland, who was struck by an automobile Saturday night on Jackson street, was not badly hurt, as at first reported. The car which struck the boy was driven by Bar low Council, Jr., and the accident, it was generally agreed among those who saw it, was unavoidable. The injured boy returned to his home following a visit to the office of Drs. Smith and Anderson, where the extent of his injuries was de termined. Extreme regret because of the unfortunate occurrence was expressed by the driver of the car. PIGEONS STEER COURSE THROUGH HEAVY FOGS BERNE, Switzerland, Sept. 1. —An interesting test of th e relia bility of pigeons as messag bear ers was recently made by the Swiss general staff. Twenty doves were taken to the highest accessible point of the “Jungfrau” and released. The day was cloudless in the upper regions of the Alps, but all the cit ies and valleys were screened from view by a thick layer of fog. Seventeen doves started in a straight line for Berne. Two start ed in the wrong direction, and a third became lost for a whole in the valley. But the entire 20 finally reached their destination. The three erring doves were only ten minutes behind the leaders in get ting home. PAINS IN BACK Arkansas Lady Says Mother Gave Her Cai dui and She Had No More Trouble of This Kind. Lamar, Ark.—Mrs. Edith Seeman, here, recently made the following statement describing her experience in the use of Cardui: “I had pain in my back and sides; had sick headaches and say nose would bleed. I couldn’t sit up at all. “My mother gave me Cardui. I took about a half bottle and at this ... I was able to get up and help with the work. Next time I took it again, .and now, after taking two bottles, I do not have any trouble at all at this time. I gained, my skin cleared up, I am healthy and strong. “My mother took Cardui for a weak, run-down condition. It did her more good for weakness and nervousness than any medicine she has ever taken. She took six bottles in all. We recom mend it and certainly know its worth.” The foregoing is one out of thou sands of statements which have been received from users of Cardui, ths woman’s tonic. If you are a sufferer from womanly ailments, try Qardui. It tnay be just what you need. At your dealer’s. NC-156 If Back Hurts Begin on Salts Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally by Drinking Quarts of Good Water No man or woman can make a mis take by flushing the kidneys occasion ally, says a well-known authority.
