2 BtACK-DRAUSHT AS A PREVENTIVE b When You Begin Feeling Bad With Feverishness, Head ache, Cold, or Constipa tion, Give Your Liver a Tonic —Take Black- Draught Candler, N. C. —‘'I 'don't believe there is a better medicine made than Black-Draught; I have used It and my mother's folks used it for colds, feverishness, headache and deranged liver.” This statement recently was made by Mr. G. B. Trull, a well-known farmer on Route 3, this place. “I have, before now. begun feeling dull, a headache would come on, and I would feel all full of qpld, and take a few doses of Black-Draught and get all right." adds Mr. Trull. ‘‘Last year my brother had measles, flu and pneumonia. They wired us; I went to Camp Jackson to look him up. Down there different ones were using preventatives. I stayed with him. The only thing I used was Black-Draught. It kept my system cleansed and I kept well and strong.” By keeping your liver and stomach tn good order, you stand in little dan ger of catching serious ills that occasionally spread through town and country. Get a package of Black-Draught and have it ready for the first symp tom of a disordered liver.

TIFTON’S TOBACCO PLANT INTERESTS A. B. & A. OFFICIALS TIFTON, Ga.. May 15.—“1 was surprised and delighted at the size of the tobacco stemmery and re drying plant at Tifton,” said Vice President J. 1,. Edwards, of the At lanta. Birmingham and Atlantic rail way, this morning, after a visit to the plant. “Then, I was told that it was by far tile smallest of such plants un der the management of the Imperial Tobacco company, and that It was so designed that its capacity could , be doubled and even trebled. This | shows that the tobacco people re gard that industry here as assured ' of success and gives an idea of Its ; immense possibilities. Your contrac tors are making splendid progress and I was surprised at the number of men at work.” A'bunch of live wires in the de velopment of south Georgia and , especially the section traversed by I tlie Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlan- j tic. spent the day in Tifton, taking a look at the big tobacco plant in process of erection and other points of interest about the city, especial ly its industrial enterprises. In the partv were J. D. Edwards, vice presi dent’; W. W. Croxton. general pas segei agent, and R. H. McKay, su perintendent of transportation. Discussing the closing down of the packing plant at Tifton. Mr. Croxton expressed concern at the problem of having a reliable supply of hogs to keep the market going the year round. “This can only be done with an all-the-year-round pasturage,” he said. "The best pasturage of this kind that I have seen is in Thomas county, and is the result of five, years’ study and development. Tins pasturage is not only luxuriant, but keeps cattle and hogs fat for eight months of the year, five of these the months when hogs through here must be fed from the barns. I wisn every newspaper man and every live stock man in this section could see that pasture. “Marketing hogs In the summer is a new thing for this territory Previously, they were not produced ] for market in the spring and sum mer because there was no market here.

CAMPHOR LEAVES NOW HARVESTED BY TRIMMING “REAPER” A \ lu, k Si - Camphor Harvester The next time you go to a drug store to have your camphor bottle j refilled refresh the memory with i the fact that? this common household | article grows on trees down in Flor- I ida and other Gulf states. The | leaves, twigs and small branches are cut from the tree- at two or more seasons of the year yvhen the main growth has become dormant. The green material is conveyed to a dis tilling plant where the camphor is extracted. The camphor trees are cultivated! in rows as you would any other crop. Tillage is comparatively easy, but, in harvesting the leaves an J twigs the job is both a tedious and expensive operation. Heretofore the camphor-making material has been clipped from the tree by hand, which costly procedure doubtless is re sponsible for the advancing price of the product. Thanks, however, to the inventive skill of a specialist in the bureau of plant industry, U. S. department of agriculture, a ma chine has been perfected for strip ping the camphor trees of their leaves, twigs and small branches. > This is accomplished without injury! to the limbs or impairment of the, productive capacity of the tree. Early Ratification of Suffrage Amendment Seen by Id 7 . J. Bryan ByWILLIAM JB NN INGS B3YM Syndicate, Inc.) It seems very probable that the suffrage amendment will be ratiiied by the necessary thirty-six states before the conventions meet, but even if ratification is not completed before the conventions are held, it is quite certain that it will be complet ed before the election. But even it national suffrage should fail to be accomplished in time to admit all the women of the country to partici pate in the election, a con'ideratle majority of them will vote this fall by virtue of states constitution ors state statutes, and the early enfran chisement of women is as certain as any future event can be. Tennessee is quite sure to vote for the national amendment next winter although the state, because a special session is not authorized by the constitution, will be unable to Wi its name upon the roll of hon or now. Florida, too, is quite cer tain to ratify although immediate attention is prevented by a constitu tional pro. siori which denies to the rlejjsjatuye the., -..right to ratify a measire, that'?i«»<’. x fiubniitted before Hie legfarjattu'e was elected. Besides these there are states which are certain to ratify if special ses sions are called. Assuming,.’therefore, that univer sal woman suffrage is a matter of less than a year if not a matter of a few’’ months,’ it worth while to consider the effect of women’s en trance in the arena of politics. Many well-meaning men have stoutly resisted the proposed en franchisement of woman out of fear that the exercise of suffrage might in some way work t.O the injury of the home. This argument lacks force, first, because it is a prophecy with nothing in history to support it, and. second, because it is in line with similar objections that have been made to every advance step taken by civilization. There was a time when the education of the masses was believed by sincere peo ple to threaten the destruction of so ciety. That was the aristocratic notion that some had. They thought the Lord intended only a few to be educated —just enough to do the thinking for the people while the uneducated would devote their time to the drugery of life. Now. univer sal education is the ideal of civiliz ed countries and we wonder how any person could have broug himself to the point of condemning a large majority of his fellow men to the ni~ht of ignorance. The Strongest Argument Even after the value of education for men was admitted, some good people were afraid to extend educa tion to women for fear that it would make them mannish —unsex them, as •.t were. But now the young women of America, on the average, carry their school education to a higher point than the young men. as any one will realize who visits the high schools. And who now doubts the value of education for women? When I visited Mexico some twenty years ago. and noticed the girls in school with the boys. I mentioned the matter to President Diaz, and he promptly replied, “It is more im portant that the women shall be ed ucated than that the men shall be, because the mother is the child’s first teacher.” In like manner there are many good people in Asia who really be lieve that it -would demoralize society if women did not veil their faces, al though visitors to Oriental cities soon begin to suspect that the thick ness of the veil varies in inverse proportidn to the woman’s beauty—* the fairer the face, the thinne- the veil. Even in Asia the women are breaking away from this custom and who, in this country at least, will doubt that woman is better because of her acquaintance with society and that society is improved by her pres ence? In no country can there be found better mothers an.l wives than in the '.'i '<-d States, an.: ncre we come nearer to universal education, and woman’s face is not concealed. The strongest argument in favor of suffrage is that it has been success ful wherever tried. Four of our states have had woman’s suffrage for more than twenty-five years and in none of these has there been a move ment looking to a return to manhood suffrage alone. Why? If suffrage was a menace to the home would not the fact be discovered in twenty-five years of experience under that sys tem? And if the test had shown that the home suffered because of woman’s political activity, would not woman herself have been the. first to ask for its abolition? It is a re flection on the women in the suf frage states to suggest that their interest in politics so outweighs their \ interest in the home as to make them ; indifferent to the harm done by wom tin’s suffrage, if it really does harm, i And the men in the suffrage states, how can their silence be explained? f-lavc they no interest in their houses? If suffrage had actually injured the home might we not expect the or ganized husbands to protest against . an institution destructive or domes tic obligations? The war question is one upon which the women have a fixed opin ion that is not likely to be changed by party platforms or speeches of candidates. None fight more strong ly for their rights than women, but they shrink from the tragedies of the battlefield. They, rather than' the rrten, have been the victims of war j The man who dies upon the bactle- I The camphor-tri mining mechan ! ism, consisting of six parts, is so | complete that the leaves and twigs ; are not only whipped into the knives iof the cutting apparatus but are afterward deposited into burlap bags. The operating machinery is conveyed on a truck fitted with a framework of iron, on which is likewise located an internal-combus tion engine. A cutting frame for severing the leaves and branches !• from the camphor trees is supported by springs, thus minimizing vibra tion. The cutter bar is held firm ly at a proper angle for cutting the twigs, a reel whipping the branches into the cutting blades. Canvas aprons convey the severed material i into burlap sacks attached to the rear of the truck. Three men are required to operate the device, which is drawn by two mules. However, with the prospec tive use of tractors, two men can direct its workings. Already under the system of hand-clipping the profitable production of camphor in 1 Florida and other southern states i had been threatened. Machinery will | minimize considerably production i costs. field, dies gloriously; he suffered but for a moment, and his name is writ ten upon monuments, while the moth er moves on to the grave with slow and unsteady steps instead of being supported by a stalwart son, and the wife, because of the husband’s death, assumes a double duty to the child whom the soldier leaves dependent. We are hoping that the lessons of the awful war out of which the world has just emerged will be sufficient to shake even men out of warlike In ch n a t i on. Farmer Shot to Death By 15-Year-Oldßoyin Quarrel at Aberdeen ABERDEEN, Ga., May 15. —One man is dead and another seriously wounded as a result of a heated ar gument here late this afternoon be tween Arthur Stinchcomb and Will Brown, both prominent farmers of this section. Brown is dead, the re sult of gunshot wounds inflicted by the fifteen-year-old son of Stinch comb, while Stinchcomb is said to be in a dying condition from two pistol shots fired by Brown. According to witnesses. Brown was engaged in a heated argument with a Mr. WhitlocK, also of this community, when Stinchcomb. who is the town marshal, attempted to quiet the two men. Brown, it is said, turned upon Stinchcomb and fired his revolver twice into him, inflicting wounds which may cause his death. Learning that his father had been shot, the fifteen-year-old son of Stinchcomb secured a Winchester rifle and shot Brown through the right breast, death being almost in stantaneous. At a late hour Satur day night no arrests had been made. Fire Destroys 200 Bales Os Linters at Chester, S. C. CHESTER. S. C., May 15.—Fire, believed tc have been caused by a spark from a passing locomotive, practically destroyed 200 bales of linters at the Southern Cotton Seed Oil company headquarters here, en tailing a loss of $7,000. Seventy bales belonged to the company, while 130 belonged to the government. The company's was insured, and it is not known whether the government’s was or not. Effective work of the fire men saved many other bales of linters. —I Another Royal Suggestion I 1 MUFFINS and POPOVERS f j From the New Royal Cook Book fl TTREAKFAST is too “S «”d beat »»«! smooth. | a ,, , Bake in greased muffin tins &• s JLjP often eaten as a duty i n h ot oven 2 o t o 25 minutes. $ | rather than a joy.

WASHINGTON, May 15. Vice President Thomas R. Marshall has presided over the senate of the Unit ed States for seven years and can be therefore expected to know whereof he speaks when he says that if pro hibition had been submitted to a se cret vote, it would not have gotten twenty votes in the senate. The writer asked the vice president to amplify his statement, which was originally before the Virginian bar association. “I want to be understood at the outset,” said the vice president, “that I believe in the enforcement of the constitutional amendment on prohi bition. It is here and is the law and should be enforced. But I believe that if the amendment had been voted upon according to the individual con victions of members of the senate it would not have gotten twenty votes. “Now I am not imputing motives to anybody. I have never seen any representatives of the brewers or anti-saloon league around congress and wouldn’t know them if they were there. I believe that pie men who voted for prohibition and for wom an suffrage, for instance, thought the people—a majority of their consti tuents—wanted these amendments passed. But that isn’t my theory of representative government. “As I told the lawyers at Rich mond. the people of this country didn’t intend in my judgment that their representatives should be guided by their constituents but that elected representatives should act for them. I don’t think when people hire a law yer that they should ask him to do what they want. Advice should not come from the client to the lawyer but from the lawyer to the client. If the client doesn’t lie the advice, he can get another lawyer. “That’s the same with represen tative government. The people in my opinion, should trust their rep resentatives to act for them. If they dont like what their repre sentatives do, they can select others and thus repudiate what has been done”. “Then if you had been a member of the senate, you would have voted against the prohibition amendment” the vice president was asked. “Oh yes,” was the reply, “ —and my views have been well known. Mind you, I do not use liuor, never serve it at my table, and I would to God that no one else did, but I object to the way prohibition has been imposed. Though again. 1 must insist, now. that it is here, that it must be enforced. “As a matter of fact, irrespective of the question of personal habits, members of the senate whose views about the police powers of the sev eral states coincide with my own surrendered their opinions when they voted simply because they thought it was the wish of the Peo ple of their states. That isn’t leadership nor representative gov ernment in my conception of the term. “Indeed, lawyers, like statesmen, are losing their influence because they are not telling their clients what is the law and what should be done. Instead, lawyers, now-a-days are listening to boards of directors and trying to accomplish what those boards want done —often against the best judgement of the lawyers themselves.” The vice president was indorsed bv the Virginia bar association for the presidency—a compliment of the occasion, no doubt, for Mr. Marshall isn’t a candidate, active, passive, receptive or even interested. May be if he were he wouldn’t express himself so frankly. Augusta Cotton Men Warn Against lax on Stocks for Bonus AUGUSTA, Ga., May 15.—The Au gusta Cotton Exchange, at a meeting Friday, passed esolutions warning Georgia’s representatives in congress that the proposed soldiers’ bonus bill, with its provision that funds for the purpose named be raised by a tax upon transfers on securities, cotton, grain, real estate and other commo dities, will lead to a serious and far reaching economic disturbance, and urging Georgia senators and con gressmen to use their influence to de feat the measure. The resolution, adopted by the Cot ton Exchange, makes it plain that the local cotton men are not lacking n appreciation for the service render ed by the men who went forth to bat tle for the security of the republic, yet they believe that the ex-service men, themselves as has been indi cated by the position of the Ameri can Legion, are not in favor of the passage of legislation that would “plunge the nation into conditions which may prove, if possible, worse than war. by disrupting the very foundations of the financial and in dustrial prosperity of the country.” It is recited in the resolution that, in the opinion of local cotton men the burden of taxation, recommended in the bonus bill, to be put upon se curity and commodity exchanges will practically cause these exchanges to cease to function, and that increased revenue will not inure to the govern ment, because the tax is so drastic that dealings will be restricted to nominal proportions, even if the ex changes are not entirely put out of business. TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1920. DISMISSAL ASKED IN CASE AGAINST CHAS. W. MORSE WASHINGTON, May 15. (By the Associated Press.) —Attorney General Palmer was asked today by the ship ping board to cause dismissal of the indictment returned recently by a federal grand jury at New York charging Charles W. Mors© with a conspiracy to violate the shipping act through the alleged sale of the steamer McCullough to La Societe Generale De Houillen and Agglom eres, a French corporation. After considering the records in the case, the board held that criminal prosecution was not justified. It was said. ! , at the board’s offices that the indictment had shindered Mr. Morse in his financial transactions that he could not complete ships now' build ing for the board at his plants, the Groton Iron Works, Groton, Conn., and the Virginia Shipbuilding cor poration, Alexandria, Va. The operations of the two plants are now being investigated by a con gressional committee charged with making a general inquiry into ship ping board affairs. Mr. Morse appeared before the board yesterday to explain the ef fect of the indictment on his af fairs. He was said at board’s offices to have asked that the board interest itself in the matter, since he was its agent for the execution of certain contracts for building ships. The McCullough is the ship for which the board allowed Mr. Morse 3400,000 because of her destruction by a submarine while in the service of the array. She was requisitioned from the United States Steamship company, of Maine, of which Mr. Morse is president, and before she was taken over in 1917, the company had entered into a contract for her sale to the French corporation for $500,000. This sum, the board said, it had required the company to refund through Brown Bros. & Co., New l.ork bankers, when the $400,000 claim for the ship’s destruction was paid. The board’s announcement said that it appeared from the contract “that it was not the purpose to vio late or evade the United States statutes.” It also was discussed that subse quently the board decided to ask the department of justice to prosecute Morse in connection with the matter, but later reconsidered this action at the request of Bainbridge Colby, then a member of the board and now sec retaryof state.

Folks With Thin, Pale Blood Hesitate —Feel Uncertain SHOULD TAKE PEPTO MANGAN Red-Blooded Men and Wom en Know What They Want To Do and Do It It may be you are just recovering from a sick spell—or may be your system is run down and your blood so weak that you are in a poor shape to resist infection— But if you don’t feel and look ro bust you are not robust. Such state is often due to weak blood, not enough red blood cells, a condition known as anemia. The best remedy for anemia (blood lessness) with its low mental and physical vigor is Gude’s Pepto-Man gan. Pepto-Mangan supplies the weak, watery blood with the very elements it needs to put new life into it. It repairs, re-creates, and re-builds the exhausted blood, the vital fluid of health and life. Try Pepto-Mangan if you are “rundown.” It cannot harm you—it w’ill certainly help you unless you have some deep-seated chronic disease requiring the physi cian’s care. Be sure the name “Gude’s" Is on the package. Without “Gude’s” it is not Pepto-Mangan. For sale at all druggists.—(Advt.)
