EX-GOVERNOR IS EDITOR OF PRISON PAPER / ATLANTA, Nov. I.—At the { masthead of “Good Words,” pub- <! lished monthly at the federal peni tentiary here “with the approval of the department of justice” and ' “dedicated to the welfare of the men in prison,” appears the name of a new editor. The editor’s name is given simply at “W. T. McCrary.” Mr. McCrary was not always an editor, however. Before qualifying for his editorial duties on “Good Words,’ he was a big planter, breed er of fancy cattle and more recent ly, governor of Indiana. The current issue, dated Novem ber 1, is the second to pass under 'his er’/.topia)] eye. The editorial page is devoted entirely to editor ials. Appointment of the former gov ernor as editor of the prison mag azine is regarded as a promotion, his first assignment at the prison having been announced as that of a library clerk. While governor of Indiana, Mr. McCrary was indicted and convict ed on a charge of using the mails to defraud and sentenced to federal prison here. He resigned as gov ernor the day after conviction and 24 hours later was serving his sen tence.

A. Copeland said: “I have, I believe, avoided a good deal of suffering by the use of Cardui, and am thoroughly convinced that it has'been of great benefit to me. “Before the birth of two of my children, I grew so weak and nervous I could hardly go, and suffered . . . I had a friend who told me of Cardui, so the next time when I grew sc weak and run-down I began to use it. I used it three months. I grew stronger and less nervous. The baby was stronger and a better baby, and I really believe it was because I built up my strength with this splendid tonic.’* Cardui has been in successful use for more than forty years. Thousands of women have written to tell of the beneficial results obtained by taking Cardui, and to recommend it to others. It is a mild, harmless, purely vege table medicinal preparation —a prod uct of practical experience, scientific investigation and pharmaceutical skill. Sold everywhere.

K. S. Today we end our interviews ‘ with the citizens at ta’-ge on the ' outcorfie of the election. J'is* as 1 we expected the greater portion of the populace will vote the Demo cratic ticket. Everybody we have talked to seems to be well posted cn the political dope, the Literary Digest, the New York Journal of Commerce, the Times Recorder and ether leadng news papers have keft them informed. The radio too has been instrumental in placing the political situation before the public. One man tells us every night last week in New York state there were campaign speeches made by Da-, is, one of Coolidge’s speakt rs and La Follette. He said that a’.! the speak ers were given a big ovation when introduced but that Davis received a great deal more applause at the conclusion of his speeches than the Republican or Independent speak ers. Applause is the barometer of the peoples feelings and apprecia tion. This being true at’d the peo ple vote according to their feelings and appreciation. The ‘Democrats should stand an excellent chance of carrying New York. We will find all this out Tuesday. We wish to thank the people for their kindness in expressing their opinions and we hope every body will be on hand at the T. R. office to hear the election returns which we arc going to give you hoi. off the Those talked to today say: 0 C. Johnson, Prop. Post Adv. So. “I am absolutely going tr vote the ! Democratic ticket.

I have no doubt that Davis will be elected.” Fred B. Arthur, Real Estate, ‘I wish that I had a thousand votes to cast for Davis. I wish also that the entire South would vote a solid Dem ocratic ticket, the time is not ripe for a political shake up in the South The outlook lor a Demo cratic president is very bright and I believe Davis is the man.” Geo. F. Webb; “Why certainly I am going to vote for Davis, I have always supported my friends and I think the Democratic Administra tions are our friends.
