BLACK-DRAUGHT
AS A PREVENTIVE
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. C. 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 cold, 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
in 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.
Most druggists sell Black-Draught.

IMPROVEMENT IN
ECONOMIC SYSTEM
OF NATJON IS SEEN
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.!
WASHINGTON, May 20. —America
is at the moment experiencing an
economic readjustment which the
treasury department and the federal
reserve board legat'd as Inevitably’
for the better. Reliance is based
upon the alertness of public opinion
and the readiness of the banking
and business public to consent to
curtailment of unnecessary and un
productive credits.
But the view at the executive end
of the avenue is not altogether shared
by members of congress, some of
whom like Senator Robert L. Owen,
| of Oklahoma, fear that curtailment
of production will result and That
| the prices of all commodities will
tend to rise because of the scarcity
of stocks. Other members of con
gress feel that the federal reserve
board and Secretary Houston are
pursuing a conservative policy and
that their program will influence
the whole business world.
Incidentally Secretary Houston’s
letter to Chairman Fordney, of the
house ways and means committee,
is intended as a warning that con
gress had better cease thinking about
a soldier bonus and give serious con
sideration to the prospect of increas
ing taxes to meet current govern
ment expenses. And altogether both
congress and the executive depart
ments .are today more deeply ab
sorbed in the economic situation than
they have been since the close of
the war.
Congress Closely Watched
This renaissance comes at a time
when congress is anxious to get
away for the political summmer, but
telegrams already pouring in from
! constituents indicate that back home
business men, bankers, merchants
and manufacturers are watching
Washington for any moves that may
affect what has been referred to
so often as essential and “nonessen
tial lines of business.”
The effort to curtail the amount
of borrowing by insisting that jmem
ber banks of the federal reserve) sys
tem actually discriminate in the
classes of loans that they make Is
expected to produce results. In fact
the treasury believes results are al
ready in evidence. But on capitol
hill Senator Owen’s suggestion that
instead of increasing the interest
rates, they should be lowered to 3
or 4 per cent, has unquestionably
encouraged various borrowers to be
lieve that if they get behind the
movement they can bring about a
reduction instead of an increase in
interest rates.
Senator Owen argues, for instance
that there should be discrimination
on the part of the Federal Reserve
banks in applying their interest rates
and that loans for speculative and
unproductive purposes should pay
the highest Interest rates and pro
duction should be encouraged in oth
er enterprises by correspondingly
lower rates.
Houston Cites Example
He advocates uniformity of dis
crimination which means that cattle
men in Texas should be able to bor
row their money for the same rates
as cattlemen in Montana.
Secretary Houston is inclined to
look upon Senator Owen’s economics
as faulty and contends that 99 out
of a 100 economists would not agree
with the Oklahoma senator’s con
tention. The head of the treasury
department declares that the inter
est rates fixed by the federal re
serve board must bear some relation
ship to the uses of money outside
of the government circle. He as
serts, for gxample. that it money
were loaned by the government at 3
or 4 per cent, the resources of the
federal reserve system would not
only be drained but would be used
to make extensive profits in other
lines.
For Instance, he points out that
there would be nothing to prevent
the borrowing of money from fed
eral reserve banks at 3 and 4 per
cent and loaning that same money
to railroads and other enterprises
paying as high as 6 and 7 per cent
and then collecting the difference as
a handsome profit. The whole ques
tion really revolves not merely
around the question of what is an
essential or nonessential line of busi
ness but what is an essential or
nonessential loan in a particular
business.
The Treasury View
The treasury believes the member
banks in their respective communi
ties can exert the only influence that
can at all be applied in America’s
complex economic structure and that
the co-operation of the public alone
will successfully carry the whole
economic load. Expressions that
may have gone out concerning an
arbitrary restriction of credit are
unwarranted. The treasury’s view
is merely that legitimate and es
sential credits should be advanced
and that the high interest rates will
drive speculative investments from
the borrowing market and release
money for productive purposes.
Nobody, of course, can say what
factors will be controlling in the
readjustment that has been begun
but a check to expansion of credits
has been applied.
Senator Owen and his school of
thinkers believe restrictions is psy
chologically bad and produces de
pression. Secretary Houston and the
federal reserve board are convinced
that it means the introduction of
conservation and caution. All parties
are convinced that at the core Amer
ica is sound but they differ as to
the best way to help surmount the
difficulties and embarrassments of
an expanded credit system.
Os one thing the business public
may rest assured. The federal re
serve board and the treasury are go
ing ahead with the policy mapped
out by Governor Harding, of the
federal reserve board, because they
have the power under the law to
raise the interest rates and fix
through the member banks the re
discount rates. Congress has very
little to do with the matter though
Senator Owen, who is a candidate
for the presidency, may make sev
eral speeches on the subject in the
near future and his supporters al
ready are organizing business men’s
leagues to advocate his doctrines.

Joan of Arc’s Canonization
Moved Rome Throng to Tears
ROME.—The ceremonies of canon
ization of Joan of Arc, the shepherd
lass, who in 1492 was called from
the peaceful fields of Domremy to
lead the armies of France to victory
against the English and Burgundians,
was witnessed .by 30,000 persons.
Impressive ceremony and ancient
ritual marked the addition of her
name to the roll of the saints. After
Pope Benedict had been enthroned in
St. Peter’s dignitaries of the church
advanced and voiced the claim that
the pontiff should inscribe the name
of Joan of Arc in the sacred list.
Monsignor Galli replied for the
pope, saying he must first invoke
divine blessjng on the event. Then
chaplains intoned the Litany of the
Saints. Pope Benedict, again seated
on the throne, listened to a second
request on the part of the officials of
the canonization. After prayer the
pontiff remained in reverent silence
for a space, and then rose as the first
notes of “Veni Creator Splritus” were
chanted by the choir.
For a third time officials demanded
that their supplications be granted.
Monsignor Galli answered that, as
the pope was convinced “this thing
was pleasing to God, he had decided
to pronounce the sentence of canon
ization.”
Then Pope Benedict announced to
the Catholic world the solemn fact
of the addition of Joan of Arc to
the body of the saints, ordered in

Although pale and needing the as

her weeping, but each time seemed
better able to go on with the narra

The accused girl told in detail of
her relations with the physician and
of two operations he performed upon

money in amounts as high as SSO,

NO CARS IN SIGHT,
TOMATO PLANTS
MAY ROT IN FIELD
TIFTON, Ga.. May 20. —Between
15,000,000 and 25,000,000 tomato
plants, grow at Tifton under con
tract for trv > growers and picklers
in the east a L middle west, will be
ready for transportation beginning
next week and lasting about ten days.
These will load at least seventeen
express cars, and at present there is
not a car available for them.
Tifton usually ships from 2,000.-
000 to 3,000.000 tomato plants each
season. Last year a number of rep
resentatives of pickling firms and
truck growers north and east visited
Tiftoji and contracted for the plants
they needed for early summer. As
a result, the acreage here was large
ly increased.
For a month or more potato and
other plants have been going for
ward in large quantities, and during
the past week tomato plants began
to move. Local shipments became
heavy the past week, and with the
carload shipments in prospect next
week, the local agent of the Ameri
can Railway Express company was
notified. The bulk of the shipments
are to go to Indiana, but some will
go to New Jersey and other eastern
states.
Agent Marr notified the Jackson
ville office that the cars would be
needed, but was advised that they
were not to be had. Monday he vis
ited Jacksonville to inquire into the
situation, but was told that not a car
was available. Its equipment was
depleted during government opera
tion, and now the. express company
is without cars to move its freight.
Thousands of packages of fruit are
spoiling in Florida for lack of trans
portation facilities. The new Irish
potato crop is moving in freight cars.
It might be possible to use ventilated
cars for the plants, but these are not
to be had, and the railroads will not
handle ordinary freight cars on pas
senger trains.
The situation is a serious one for
the plant growers, who, with their
product ready to move, are confront
ed with the possibility that it may
be necessary to leave the plants in
the fields.
Superintendent W. Buckner, of the
Jacksonville division, spent Tuesday
in Tifton in an effort to And some
relief for the situation. The officials
of the express company say they are
doing everything possible to move
the plants on time.

LUMBER PRICE
IS SLIGHTLY CUT
BY WHOLESALERS
■ NEW ORLEANS, May 20.—(8y As
sociated Press.) —Because “tight”
markets, difficulties of transporta
tion and accumulated stocks here,
wholesale prices of lumber have de
creased about 15 per cent since Jan
uary 1, wholesalers announced to
day.
REDUCTION IN WHOLESALE
PRICES IS REPORTED HERE
Associated Press dispatches that
the wholesale price of lumber had
been reduced 15 per cent in common
withareduction inthe prices of other
commodities bears out an unofficial
report in Atlanta that an average re
duction of 10 to 12 per cent had taken
place on all grades.
The local report, however, had it
that the reduction had taken place in
' the past three or four weeks and not
in January, as reported in New Or-
I leans. The retail market so far has
not been affected except in the price
of lathes, which are offered freely
at $12.50, against the old price of s2l.
No reduction has yet been made on
brick and building material othe r
than lumber.
The reason given for the reduction
is that the wholesalers were unable
to dispose of their stocks.
The wholesale reduction is great
est on the higher grade, but aver
ages around 12 per cent, it was said
herd.
Whether the lumber reduction will
affect brick and other material is a
matter of speculation. Brick is re
p rted in better supply now, but this
is due to transportation difficulties.
The rise in the cost of building ma
terial in the period between the be
ginning of the war or soon after
wards and now has extreme.
“B” flooring, which until recently
brought $145 a thousand, sold in
1915 at $27.50. Other grades brought
the following before and after war
prices: Short leaf framing, sl4 and
$55; storm sheathing, sls and $55;
outside finish, S3O and $150; long leal”
framing, $lB and S7O.
This increase has given a false sig
nificance to the value of building
permits. Although Atlanta permits
are showing a volume in excess of
those of 1912, the actual volume of
building is much less, for the cost is
about three times that of the pre
war period. In other words, $1,000,-
000 worth of permits now would be
little more than $350,000 worth in
ti.e war period.
The housing problem in Atlanta is
directly attributable to the high cost
of building. Several important proj
ects, including two new office build
ings, have been held up by excessive
costs.
LUMBER REDUCTION
ADMITTED IN MEMPHIS
MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 20.—Lum
ber men here, while admitting that in
some instances individual sales of
lumber in wholesale lots had been
made at slight price concessions, de
nied today that there had been any
general reduction in lumber prices in
the Memphis market.
Shortage of shipping facilities,
financial conditions and a resultant
slow market with a desire on the part
of some dealers to dispose of certain
items of surplus stocks, were said to
have been responsible for such reduc
tions as had been made.
It was contended, however, that
there had been no general cut In
prices.

lief that a blow at the hardwood

Every druggist in town has noticed
I a great falling off in the sale of calo-
They all give the same reason.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is taking its
place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people
know it.” Dodson’s Liver Tone is
personally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle
doesn’t cost very much but if it fails
to give easy relief in every case of
livei' sluggishness and constipation,
just ask for your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio
lent calomel. Take a dose of calomel
today and tomorrow you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated. Don’t lose
a day.—(Advt.)

| Rheumatism
A Home Cure Given By
One Who Had It
In the spring of 1893 I was attacked
by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheu
matism. I suffered as only those who
have it know, for over three years. I
tried remedy after remedy, and doctor
after doctor, but such relief as I re
| ceived was only temporary. Finally, I
found a remedy that cured me com
ple <y, and it has never returned. I
have given it to a number who were
terribly afflicted and even bedridden
with Rheumatism, and it effected a
cure in every case.
I want every sufferer from any form
of rheumatic trouble to try this mar
velous healing power. Don’t send a
cent; simply mail your name and ad
dress and I will send it free to try.
After you have used it and it has
i proven itself to be that long-looked-for
| means of curing your rheumatism, you
may send the price of it, one dollar, but
j understand. I do not want yo-r n
unless you are perfectly satisfied to
| send it. Isn’t that fair? Why suffer |
any longer when positive relief is thus !
I offered you free? Don’t delay.- Write
today.
