When i Womu is Nervous—Worries Most women neglect their health, and for this they pay the penalty. Any woman will find that neglect does not pay. A little more atten tion to health would brighten up her life. If she asks her neighbors she finds that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription benefits a woman’s whole system. It not only acts upon the troubles and weaknesses peculiar to women, but is an all-round tonic that braces the entire body, over coming nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness ana a run down condition. Send 10c to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N.Y., for trial pkg. of "Favorite Prescription” tablets. Augusta, Ga.— " Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription restored me to perfect health when I had become a complete nervous wreck. I was suffering with backaches and my nerves were completely shattered. I was not able to do any work, I was so weak; I could not sleep, I was so nervous; and my appetite was very poor. I was just a wreck when my mother gave me the ‘Favorite Prescription’ and when I had taken about five bottles I was well and strong. ‘Favorite Prescription’ is an excellent medicine and I am glad to recommend it.” —Mrs. N. L. Good- WIN, 1731 Walker Street. now DOCTORS TREAT COLDS ANDIHE FLU First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calotabs, the Purified and Refined Calomel Tablets that are Nausea less, Safe and Sure. Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and influ enza can be depended upon for full ef fectiveness until the liver is made thor oughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the new, nausea less colomel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calo mel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in en abling the patient to successfully with stand an attack and ward off pneu monia. One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water —that’s all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating, pleas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine,- with a hearty appetite for break fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in original sealed packages, price thirty five cents.

LEAGUE IS TERMED “NOW DECEASED” THESE ARE THE WORDS OF SEN ATOR HARDING—PREDICTS SETTLEMENT PROTECT AMERICAN RIGHTS President-Elect Makes First Reference To His Foreign Policy At An Election Celebration Marion, Ohio. —Making his first speech as president-elect, Warren G. Harding declared at an election cele bration of homefolks here that the Versailles league of nations was “now deceased,” although the new admin istration intended to see that the na tion played its part in a new interna tional association founded on peace and justice. Mr. Harding also told his friends and neighbors who gathered around the front porch in a cheering concourse rivalling the greatest crowd of the campaign, that he had come through the tight “without an apology or a re gret,” and that he would rather not have the presidency than to win it “by speaking ill or uttering a lie.” The celebration, in which many from other Ohio cities joined, was characterized by all the carnival fea tures of an old-time political rally. So great was the gathering that the streets were jammed for a block away and only a small part of those pres ent could hear the speech. In a pa rade past the Harding residence there were many special features, one man leading a donkey on whose sides were painted “Jimmie didn’t treat me right,” while another group carried a dummy corpse silhouetted against a red-fire background and labelled “the league of nations.” It was from the latter tableau that the president-elect took the cue for the leading thought of his speech. His reference to it started a laugh, and then he said: “I didn’t see as much sorrow in your faces as I had apprehended. It's not that you or I question the desire of America to play its part; it’s not that we question the high ideals of those who were responsible for the Versailles covenant. You just didn’t want a surrender of the United States of America: you wanted America to go on under American ideals. That’s why you didn’t care for the league, which is now deceased. “America is playing a great part now. America is healing the heart of the old world as no other nation. But there is more to do; there is a new world relationship and when the next administration comes into power we’re going to play our part.” JUDGE ELBERT H. GARY PREDICTS EIGHT YEARS OF REPUBLICAN RULE New York. —Judge Elbert H. Gary of the United States Steel Corporation predicted eight years of Republican rule with proper appointments and a strong cabinet, with a record of achievement that will have a decided influence on the welfare of the peo ple. Judge Gary said: “I am, of course, very much pleas ed by the result of the election. The Republican party has great opportun ities and equally great responsibili ties. If it measures up to the situa tion we will experience in the future more rapid progress and larger pros perity than ever before. There is much to do and every one should do his full share in bringing about nor mal conditions. ‘With a strong cabinet and appro priate appointments, the new admin istration is certain of an eight-year terra and a record of achievement which will have a decided influence on the welfare of the people in this country and other country as well. November 2 was a great day for civi lization. “President Harding and Vice Pres ident Coolidge will have the cordial support of the financial, commercial md industrial interests of this coun try and, in turn, will render every proper and practicable aid toward the attainment of economy, efficiency and happiness of all who are deserving. The election demonstrated very forci bly one thing: Tax, Tariff, Etc., Up To Congress Washington.—“ The election of 1920 was the most sweeping victory for pro hibition in the history of the move ment,” Deets Pickett, research secre tary of the Methodist board of tem perance, prohibition and morals, said.

Treasury Must Also Pay Additional Guarantee Os $450,000,000, As Provided In Agreement Washington.—Private operation of the railroads for the first six months after the end of federal control will cost the federal government a total of $656,000,000, according to figures made public by the interstate com merce commission.

These are designed to increase the gross revenue of the carriers one and a half billion dollars annually. OPPOSITION IS VOTED TO SETTLEMENT OF BRITISH COAL STRIKE London.—Opposition to the govern ment’s coal strike settlement was making headway witli 121388 votes re corded against it to 102,704 for it. A hopeful sign from the government standpoint was the vote in Wales, where 42,430 voted for settlement to 77,425 against. It had been expected the radical workers there would re ject the proposal by a much larger margin. Several doubtful districts, including Yorkshire, Lanarkshire anc{ Durham, were reported swinging in favor of the agreement. Delegates representing the striking British coal miners have recommend ed that the men return to work des pite the fact that there is a slight ma jority against a compromise in the vote accepting the government’s of fer.

BRYAN’S PROPOSAL GETS NO SECOND WOODROW WILSON IS NO QUIT TER, SAYS PRESIDENT’S SECRETARY NO HEED WILL BE GIVEN President Has No Intention Os Re signing, As Suggested By William J. Bryan Washington.—“ Woodrow Wilson ii no quitter,” a sentence spoken by Sec rotary Tumulty to Gov. James M. Cox over the long distance telephone, was taken here as evidence that the pres ident had no intention of resigning, as suggested by William Jennings Bryan The defeated Democratic presiden tial candidate called Mr. Tumulty sot the first time since the election. His first question was: “How is the president?” “He is fine,” said Mr. Tumulty, “and we wish to say that it was a noble and inspiring fight you made.” Cox and Secretary Tumulty talked over the campaign and the secretary asked the governor if it were true that he was going to Europe. Gov ernor Cox said he had made no defi nite plans. Concluding the conversation, Mr Tumulty again felicitated Governor Cox on his campaign. “It has been a glorious cause in which you may feel happy that you played a trying but conspicuous part,” he said. “You may well be, and the rest of us are, proud of the battle you fought. The time will come when the people generally will recognize this.” It was the general belief here that if President Wilson had any inten tion of resigning. Mr. Bryan’s sug gestion that he do so would end the possibility of his taking that > action. The suggestion of William Jennings Bryan that President Wilson resign his office so that Senator Harding might quickly assume his duties as president of the United States, rip pled the political waters at Washing ton, hut brought in no tide of accept ance. At the white house, there was neither formal nor informal discus sion of the advice of the one-timo secretary of state and leader of the Democracy in three unsuccessful cam paigns. CHRISTENSEN SAYS THAT FARMER-LABOR PARTY FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN Salt Lake City, Utah.—Parley P. Christensen, presidential nominee of the Farmer-Labor party, sees in the victory of Senator Harding, the elim ination of the Democratic party as a factor in national politics. In a state ment he said: “Our vote is very satisfactory. The result means that the next fight will be between the Republicans and the Farmer-Labor parties. Democrats can not come back. Organized labor has also learned its lesson. We cannot hope Tor relief from either of the old parties. “In the next fight labor will be united with the farmers and other for ward-looking people in the Farmer- Labor party. The vote for Harding is very largely a protest vote, a vote of disgust with conditions and espe cially against the Wilson administra tion, Our campaign has just com menced.” Zeppelin Plant May Be Brought Over Geneva. —It is understood an Amer ican syndicate has been formed to buy out and transfer the Zeppelin plant and personnel to America. Two Americans, it is said, recently arrived at Friedrichshafen. Because of the treaty ban on the building of more Zeppelins in Germany, it is reported the Germans will accept this offer. A transatlantic service may be started later.

Having received only preliminary returns before retir ing the president arose early the next morning and, after breakfast, scan ned the later figures of the Republi can victory as contained in the news papers. Further Reduction In The U. S. Debt Washington.—Treasury operations for October resulted in a further re duction in the. public debt, according to figures made public, showing the gross debt to be $24,062,509,672.

Jenkins, Republican, defeated candidate for con gress from the tenth district, charging wholesale fraud in the election, par ticularly in the casting of absentee votes, has written the Republican na tional, headquarters at Washington, in tiamitng that he will contest the elec tion.

Britt, Republican, contested amr unseated Zebulon Weaver, who, by the recent vote, was re-elected by a majority of 2,108 votes, unofficial. “NIGHI RIDING” IN ALABAMA Oil-Soaked Balls Os Cotton Used In Setting Fire To Buildings On Several Plantations Montgomery, Ala. —Three negroes known to be dead, fifteen in the Mont gomery county jail and property loss through incendiary fires, approximat ing one hundred thousand dollars, re capitulates the night riding outbreak in the southern part of this county, Over one hundred heavily armed coun ty and city officials and civilian vol unteers are on duty at strategic points in the affected area, although it was generally believed the threatened up rising had been nipped in the bud. The killing of Warren Taylor, ne gro, the third to die in connection with the events, occurred after he had emptied a pistol at Chief of Police Taylor, Sheriff John L. Scog gin and other officials, who had plac ed him under arrest at his home, 18 miles south of this city. Taylor had reported earlier in the day an attempt to burn his property by night riders, the robbery of his store and an at tempt upon his own life, and, while he was being treated for a buckshot wound in his shoulder in the city, of ficers went to his home and question ed his mother and found the safe Taylor had reported as having been stolen under his bed. The discrepancy in the accounts as given caused the officers to decide on Taylor's arrest and, when he came home, he found the officers waiting for him. When he was bundled into Chief of Police Taylor’s automobile, he seized a gun lying in the car and started shooting. The activity of Detective Sergeant Avant in pinion ing the negro’s arms probably caused his aim to be ineffective. Before the negro had emptied the pistol, how ever, he was fired on from the side, and eight bullets pierced his head and body, causing instant death. Conflicting reports were received at Montgomery throughout the day of November 2 from the southern part of the county, coupling alleged throats to destroy one or two rural towns during the night, and this caused the wearing in of one hundred civilians who, with county and city officials, are on guard in those localities at night. A prevailing report here, al though without confirmation in de tail, due to inability to secure wire connections with the community, was to the effect that four negroes had been shot to death near Highland Home, Ala., early in the day of No vember 2. At the county jail W. P. Amerson, who apprehended and arrested Lad die Gibson, Jr., a negro, stated that Gibson had told him another negro, Koosevelt Johnson, also under arrest, had shown him balls of cotton which had been saturated with kerosene oil, on the afternoon of October 30, and said they were to be used in destroy ing the buildings on the Davis and Houlton plantations, where the first incendiary fires were discovered late in the night of October 30. Every male white resident in the southern part of the county was re ported heavil yarmed and at Snow douu and Ramer, Ala., were ekeping all-night vigils against any attacks, threats of which had been floating about recently. The county grand jury was sum moned by Judge Leon McCord, who states that nothing will be left undone nor expense spared to investigate the uprising and prosecute the guilty per sons involved. Car Conductor Wins 1920 Nobel Prize Chicago.—Knut Hamsun, Norwegi an author and formerly a conductor on the Old Halstead street horse car line here back in the early eighties, won the 1920 Nobel prize for litera ture. Hamsun came here from North Dakota and, after being discharged from the horse car line because he read books instead of collecting fares and ringing the bell, went. East and obtained a berth on a New Found laud banks fishing boat. Executed For Murder Os U. S. Citizen Washington.—Summary trial and execution of an unnamed Mexican, charged with the murder of Arthur L. Moseley and Gustave ♦Salazar, American citizens, has been reported to the American embassy at Mexico City by the Mexican foreign office, the state department is advised. Alaskan City Shows Depopulation Seattle, Wash. Nome, Alaska, which, during the gold rush of 1900, had a population estimated at fifteen thousand, was left with only two hun dred inhabitants, when the steamer Victoria, the last boat of the season for the states, sailed from there, ac cording to passengers who were here recently.

Pig Club Winners At The State Fair Cordele, Ga. —Farm Demonstration Agent C. B. Culpepper and his pig club groups in Crisp county have done so well in the past season that they have literally carried away all the praise in the local county fair. The praise has been so general that the best five went to Macon to the state fair. There are reventeen on display at the fair hers- The last, one of them is a fine show. But those winning the local prize 3 went to Macon. Help That Aching Back! Back giving out? Tortured with dull, nagging backaches and stabbing pains?
