The intention of (ailing a special
'session of the United States distri*
jcourt has been announced by Judge*
j Beverly L> Evans. It will be called
for the purpose of disposing of
other Indictments lodged against the
officials of the Commercial National
Bank, as well a s to re-try Matthew
M. I*owery, former cashier of tli
Americus National bank, of Americu
who was recently convicted and sen
tenced to serve five years in the fed
eral pr'son at Atlanta.
The first of the Commercial Na
tional bank cases came on for trial
week ago Judge Evans had hoped
finish this and other cases, hut owing
to the fact that it has continued into
this week, with a probability of lasing
scevral days more, lie will be unable
to begin the hearing of any more cases
because of urgent business at Savau
nah. Judge Evans has stated that there
are some important matters in
vannah to which he must give his at
tention at present. He expects to
leave for Savannah at least by Fri
day or Saturday at the latest.
Judge Evan s told District Attorney
Earle M. Donaldson that he did not
know exactly when the special session
of the court would be called, though
he intended calling It as early as pos
sible.
Lowery was the former cashier of
the defunct Americus National bank,
which failed with liabilities of about
$600,000.
Lowery was convicted at tho first
trial of the case before the late Judge ,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Probably
no other man who has not been presi

times as that held by Herbert Hoover,
republican food dictator in a demo-

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble
Many children «t an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of

The form and flavor of iny medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
thc average child “medicine,” even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Milos’ Lax
ative Tablets, however, this dilti-
t :!ty is overcome. The shape of
thc tablets, their appearance and
candy-likc taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without ohjeclion.
The rich chocolate flavor anti
absence of other taste, make I Jr.
Miles’ Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children. •
