I There’s a reasonj fjome folks who heard about the Darwinian theory that started all the “monkey business’’ in Dayton, got the notion that Jim Darwin was the man who did it'! A couple of lank mountaineers, who had been coming down into the valley to buy socks of Jim every summer, stopped it this year! None of their money should go to a man who said they sprung from monkeys, no siree! It’s In the Blood And even the folks who know that Jim. Darwin and Charles Darwin are not one and the same, are a bit leary of Jim’s store—for “this evo lution business” is in the blood! Jim Darwin admits a bit hesi tantly that he’s an evolutionist! It’s a brave thing to say in fundamen talits Dayton. But blood is thick er than water and “a man must stand by his kin folk,” says Dar win. Strangely enough, Dayton, the scene of the celebrated evolution trial, is the very spot where the descendants of Charles Darwin, the greatest scienstist and proponent of evolution, came to settle in Amer ica. Jim Darwin’s gerat-grandfather was a brother of Charles Darwin. He Founded Town It was years and years ago that James figrandfather of Dayton’s merchant, came to Rhea county from Virginia. Here Capt. W. P. Darwin, father of the mer chant, was born. When he was a father of sons he moved to a spot in Rhea Coun ty, about six miles from Dayton, set tled there, and called the town Dar win Station. For years this descendant of the great scientist tilled the land here, managed his general store, and Darwins settled the town as a reg- Says Calomel Salivates and Loosens Teeth i '' The Very Next Dose of this, Treacherous Drug may Start Trouble You know what calomel is. It’s mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour‘bile like dynamite, cramping and sick ening you. Calomql attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. i If you feel bliious, headachy, con stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist anjLget a bot tle of Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few cent which is a harmless vege table substitute for dangerous calo mel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t start your liver and stra'.gnten you up better and quick er than nasty calomel and with out making you sick, you must go back and get your money. Don’t take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day’s work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary.

Dispatchers confus ed Darwin and Dayton. E The gov ernment said that the name of the town r. jst be changed. It becam* Evanston. But today this little town outside of Dayton is almost completely set tled by Darwins. The great colonial mansion where the grandfather set tled still stands. They’ve Read About It The Evansville and Dayton Dar wins are the few people in the county who have read “The Origin of Species” and “The Descent of Man” by Charles Darwin. But they say little about. It’s risky. “I’m an evolutionist of a “sort,” says Ji:it Darwin. “And Darwin himself never said that man exact ly came from monkeys.

In spite of the thickness of blood, many of the brothers and sisters of John Darwin declare their hundred percent fundamentalism, and denounce even Darwinian evo iution. But Jim Darwin’s own family stay by the illustrious kinsman. “I never read his book,” said Margaret Darwin Walters, daugh ter of Jim. Darwin. “But I know he must have been right.” Jim Darwin doesn’t “figure on” attending the Scopes evolution trial. He’ll be busy in the store drum ming up business again. SAVANNAH WARS ON WEARERS BATHING SUITS SAVANNAH, July 10. —Unless the ladies stop it, they must be put on th edocket! poetically phrased Police commissioner Foy in regard to young women wearing bathing suits on the streets here. The com missioner said the young ladies must put on more decor >U3 apparel when they Came up town or e! .e be docketed by police. The warning applied also to the young men, he added. THE AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER Scopes 7 rial Did Klot Place Dayton on Map Tennessee Town Has Long Been Recognized As Strawberry Center of the World DAYTON, Tenn. .July 10.—while the trial pt John T. Scopes, charged I with violating the Tennessee law i prohibiting the teaching of evolu tion in the public schools, has at tracted attention to (his city from all parts of the country, its citizens insist that it wa sperman mtly plac I ed on the map long before on its I own account. The trial '.cheduled to begin Friday in expected to bring to the city a large number of isi tors who never have been hero I e fore; some, perhaps, who never have heard of the place. Citizens of Daytdn take pride in the city's claim to he t ’<■ largest strawberry shipping center in the world, and they are optimistic that within a few years it will rival Fort Valley, Ga., as a peach center. The county seat of Rhea county, Dayton is the center of a rich agri cultural country. Its strawberry ship ments this season amounted to 500 cars, which, local men say. is i’ai be low the shipments of previous years. Because the surrounding hills for mexcellent shields for orchard-., farmers have been turning their at tention to peach producing ir. de cent years, and this season approxi mately 900,000 trees will bear fruit for the first time. In addition to its riches of the peach orchards andy strawberry patches, Rhea county has consider able wealt hunderground. Only a few of the world’s known minerals are missing when a census is taken of the territory within 50 miles of Dayton. At present mining opera tions are dull. DIDN’T LIKE WARDEN’S BISCUITS, SO HE LEFT VALDOSTA, July 10.—Eunion Eunice, prisone.r who escaped from the Cook county jail recently had quite a sense of humor and was kind enough to leave Warden Pip kin a note telling him why he left. The not follows: “Mr. Pipkin, Bye Bye, Derrie. My Old Pal: i “For the last two days you have cut me down on my biscuits so I don’t like ths- Hereafter I will get my own grits and peas. As you had the door locked 1 couldn t got at the books to check out, so as 1 expect to be gone a long time I will say good-bye, as the b°st of friends must part. (Signed) k.unii n Eunice.
