Who Carries Black-Draught In Stock, Has Found It “Best Liver Medicine” Obtainable Barker, Texas—Relating her experi ence with Thedford’s Black-Draught, Mrs. A. L. Fromme. of this place, says: “I had for some time used . . . and other liver medicines, which would nauseate and make me feel bad. We have a store, and our customers called for Black-Draught so often I decided it must be good, so thought I .would try it myself. “I began its use and found it just fitted my case. It neither griped nor nauseated me, was an easy laxative and not hard to take. “I had had headaches a great deal, no doubt from torpid liver. The Black-Draught would cure them.

HIGHWAY FUNDS, IS BELIEF Distribution of federal funds through the state highway board is not likely to be halted by the pona ing test of the validity of the motor vehicle law, according to W. R. Neel, state highway engineer. On leaving Thursday for Washing ton to attend a meeting of the ad visory board recently created by the federal bureau of public roads. Mr. i.eel expressed the opinion that the federal authorities would not sus pend payments of the federal fund because the validity of the motor vehicle law has been called in ques tion. There were two separate acts in the highway legislation passed by the Georgia general assembly in 1919. One is the act establishing a graduated scale of licenses on motor vehicles and setting aside the re ceipts from such licenses for high way construction. This is known as the motor vehicle law. The other is the act establishing the state high way board with general control and supervision over the highway pro gram. This is known as the highway commission law. A question involving the validity of the motor vehicle law does not involve the validity of the highway commission law, as the two laws are separate and distinct. The entire state funds of the highway depart ment might be tied up by a test of the validity of the motor vehicle law, which provides the revenue, but yet the highway board would be in existence just the same, and would be qualified to act as the agent of the federal government in the dis bursement of the federal aid fund. This, as explained by Mr. Neel, ’s very fortunate for the many county projects being financed jointly by the counties with federal aid. Some eight or nine million dollars’ worth ot highway construction of this kind Is under way in Georgia. If the federal authorities should halt the disburse ment of the federal fund, all of these projects would be halted. Guy 0. Buckner, Accused Attorney, Missing From Albany ALBANY, Ga., June 3.—Charges against Guy O. Buckner, a young at torney of Albany, and the fact that he had disappeared from -ds home here, were brought to light Wednes day when a warrant was taken out against him by W. L. West, w’ho charges that he sold property against which there was a lien. It is stated that there are other charges against him which have been held in abeyance pending his promised return to the city. Search had been made for Buckner ever since his disappearance a week ago last Tuesday, but nothing, was heard from him until last Sunday night, when the town marshal of Jackson, Ala., reported that'he was there. Request was made that the Jackson officer send Buckner back to Albany under the escort of an offi cer, but it was stated that there was no one there by whom he could be accompanied. Thereupon Sheriff O. F. Tarver, of this county, went to Jackson, but when he arrived there he found that Buckner had been re leased and again disappeared. Sheriff Tarver went as far as Mobile in search of him, but could not lo cate him. Buckneb left here in a new automobile, and it is presumed that he is still using it in his travels. Buckner is married and has a wife and two small children here. He was regarded as having excellent pros pects in his profession, and it is known that he was entertaining am bitions to represent Dougherty coun ty in the legislature, having stated I'rivately that he would enter the race next September. He has many firm friends here who hope that he will soon return and straighten out the financial difficulties in which he is involved. Rejected for Another, He Shoots the Girl BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. June 3. Dressed in her wedding gown, and while packing her clothes for a hon eymoon, which was to have started early Wednesday, following her mar riage to John M. Sullivan, of West Virginia, Miss Martha Dilleland, twenty-three, of this city, probably was fatally shot by Thomas Lam bert, of Oakman, Ala., a jilted lover, Wednesday morning. Miss Dilleland had been engaged tc Lambert, it is said, but she broke the engagement for the sake of Sulli van and when the disappointed lover learned of the young woman’s plans to marry the West Virginia man he made his appearance at her home, and. argument failing, he fired three bullets into her body. Lamber es caped and is being sought by city and county authorities. Sullivan is prostrated over the turn of affairs. Miss Dilleland is not expected to live. Kisses Cost Money , Joseph Weiss, thirty-five and mar ried, of No. 1307 Washington avenue, the Bronx, New York, who runs a candy store at No. 489 East 169th street, was arraigned before Magis trate Nolan in Night court on a charge of disorderly conduct in hav ing kissed eighteen-year-old Frances Heckler of No. 3854 Third avenue when she went into his store to buy some candy kisses. Magistrate No land fined Weiss $2, which he paid.’ The magistrate, in fixing the amount of the fine, said in a judicial aside to the clerk, “Kisses are cheaper now since the boys came back from the war.” Miss Heckler was In Night Court In a state bordering on hysterics and testified that she had gone back of the counter at Weiss’s invitation to select what she wanted when he put his arm around her and kissed her vigorously upon the mouth. She ran out she said, and got Patrolman Hay of the Bathgate avenue station, who arrested Weiss. To Plow at Night MONTGOMERY, Ala;, June 3. State convicts have been ordered by C. B. Rogers, warden general, to equip farm tractors with headlights so that work may be done-at night, the vVhole year's crop depending upon the work done during the next s.xty days. Bad weather has prevented the officials doing much on the eight een hundred-acre state farm and the idea of working at night came to the convict department officials.

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 pletely, and it has never returned.

NO TRACE OF FIVE ESCAPED CONVICTS FOUND At the warden’s office of -the federal prison Thursday morning it was reported that no trace had been found of any of the five prisoners who made their getaway Tuesday afternoon in a party of eight, three of whom were recaptured almost at once. Tuesday night, the prison authorities were informed, a general merchandise store and a drug store at the junction of the Jones Spur and McDonough roads were broken into, and it is inferred that the convicts were the depredators, though there is no distinct evidence to that effect. It is real ized, however, that any hope of continu ing at liberty depends largely on the men getting clothing and food, and, if possible, money. Chief Clerk Frick. of the prison, is of the opinion that the five men have not gone far. He recalls that two of the prisoners, now at liberty—Rector Sherrill and John Duffy—escaped less than a year ago, and lay quietly hidden for weeks in thickets not far from the penitentiary until the search had lapsed, when they left the vi cinity and were ultimately captured in Louisville. Fred G. Zerbst, warden, put in a good deal of time Wednesday questioning guards and the three captured prisoners, in the ef fort to ascertain if the escape was in any degree due to laxity on the part of the guards. He said it appeared inexcusable that the guard should not have seen the exodus of eight convicts crawling through one small hole and running away. America to Participate Unofficially at Spa Allied-German Meet PARIS, June 3.—American particr ipation in the coming conference with the Germans at Spa has not not been the subject of official instructions from Washington, so far as can be learned here. The United States, however, is likely to be unofficially represented, incidentally, through the presence at Spa during, the confer ence of the reparations commission, of which Roland W. Boyden, of Bos ton, is an unofficial member. Made to Walk Chalk Line To Prove He Was Sober NEW YORK, N. Y.—Arthur Bal linger was . arraigned before Magis trate Levine in a night court charged with Intoxication by Patrolman Mad defore. In charging him with be ing drunk, Ballinger said, the police man had fallen from the truth in climbing toward it. “You, weren’t drunk, Arthur?” queried the court. "I was as sober then as I am now," Arthur replied. The magistrate had a chalk line drawn from the bench to the rear of the courtroom and Arthur was re quested to tread the narrow trail. Billy Sunday could not have done it better than Arthur until he reached the middle of the room, where, In some inexplicable fashion, the chalk line that had once been straight, suddenly veered in a wriggley tan gent hard to port. Arthur realized that salvation lay in his walking the chalk line, so he followed where it led. Then of a sudden something struck him in the face. It was the chalk line that In an instant’s time had miraculously straightened Itself again. "That will do, Arthur,” said the magistrate, when the policeman had picked him up. “You’d better spend the night with us." Youthful Robbers Forget to Watch, So Dog Finds ’Em BEDFORD, Ind.—Two young men giving their names as Buby Ball and Harry Shepherd, and their home as Mt. Carmel, Hl., are in fcll here charged with the robbery of the Braman & Sons store at Mitchell, ten miles south of here, in this county. Bloodhounds trailed them to a town, where they were found asleep, both armed. In their possession were found suitcases containing $125 worth of shoes, silk shirts, silk hose and silk underwear, all identified by Mr. Bra man as merchandise missing from his store. Falls From Sky to Love CHESTER, Pa.—Fred S. Hurst, of this city, ‘knows what it means to "fall in love.” He did it. While flying near Steymer, Canada, late in 1918, Hurst, who was a mem ber of the Royal Firing corps, felt his plane giving way beneath him and before he realized what it was all about he and the plane were falling at a rapid rate. When he recovered consciousness, Hurst found himself looking into the eyes of Miss Violet C. Lucas, of Steymer, who had extricated him from the wreckage. That’s how he came to fall in love, and as a result he has claimed Miss Lucas for his bride. Finger Prints on Cheeks WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13. Chances of successful pay-check forgeries in the navy were reduced to a minimum when the department ordered that the indorser of every such check must place the impres sion of the four fingers of his right hand on the back thereof before it will be cashed. As a record of the fingerprints of every man in the service is kept, it will be practically impossible for a forger to escape identification. CHOATE DECLINES TO HEAD CREDIT MEN ASSOCIATION ATLANTIC CITY. N. J„ June 3. A plea for recourse to commercial arbitration as a means of saving a large part of the enormous cost of vast machinery of courts, saving busines from the harassment of con gested dockets, preventing intermi nable continuances and delays, and avoiding the incompetence of jurors, featured one of the most important reports presented today, to the sil ver anniversary session of the na tional association of credit men. “If, as competent authorities as sert.” the report continued, "effi ciency requires that a thing be done in the best, easiest and quickest way, what, shall be said of the firmly es tablished ami peculiarly American habit of rushing into a court of law with every pretty squabble? For the past five years the number of new suits filed in Chicago and Cook coun ty courts alone has averaged 224,800 a year. Consider what the total for the entire United States must be. We know that lawsuits break off profitable business connections, in vite hostility, often result in disas trous retaliations, are irritating, time-consuming, costly and wasteful. Why, then, do we persist in this an tikuated, peevish, short - sighted habit? Is it not largely a habit of mind?” The committee expressed the con viction that the time is ripe for a great co-operative effort of business associations to arouse public opinion to think in terms of conciliation or arbitration rather than of lawsuits. If any improvement over present conditions in courts is seriously de sired. It asserted that the way to arbitrate is to arbitrate. The committee on foreign credits through L. R. Browne, New York, urged members to earnestly support the federal bureau of foreign and do mestic comerce, and to work through congress for an increase in the funds for its use and maintenance. There is a crying need, the committee de clared, for a medium for the dissemi nation of foreign credit information in America. H. E. Choate, of Atlanta, today de clined the nomination for president of the national association. He said it would be impossible for him to do justice to the honor, and his friends could sway him. There are now three candidates mentioned, with general disappointment because Mr. Choate could not accept. Kidnaped Boy Tells Police He Wants to Go Home to ‘Muvver’ BUFFALO, N. Y„ June 3.—A tired, sleepy, red-eyed five-year-old boy sat in the police station here today and wished his “muvver” would hurry because he wanted to go home. He was Edwand Laßelle, Jr., five year-old son of Edward Laßelle, of Atlantic City, who was kidnapped from the porch of his home during a memorial day parade last Monday. Little Edward was backward about making friends. Police said he had been mistreated since he was kid napped, and the lad was shy about making friends with any other strangers. However, when told that his mother would soon be there, his face lighted up with a smile that plainly showed a missing tooth. In a cell in the station Jean Valen tine -was held, accused of kidnap ping the boy. Valentine was ar rested by the police after a twenty four-hour search. The first clue to the whereabouts of Valentine and the boy was obtained yesterday, when the parents received a letter saying that their son would be turned over to them if they came to Buffalo. Minister’s Son, 13, Certain He Is Bad Frank Lenciani, 13 years old, walk ed up to Sergeant Daniel Murphy in West Chicago avenue station. “Sergeant,” he said, "I’m going to the bad. I want you to send me to the parental school. I want to save myself from the penitentiary later on by being punished now. “My father is the Rev. August Len ciani, and he has a church here. He tries to save other boys like me, and he has been a good father, but I can’t control myself. I’ve been away from home now for three days and nights. I’ve been shooting craps and run ning with a gang of bad boys. I want to be punished now before I end up like these boys.” He showed a clipping from a Sun day paper telling of two young men who were to pay the death penalty for murder. After questioning him as to his habits and temptations the police led him home and advised him to heed his father’s advice and thus keep out of trouble. Find State House Ceiling Made of Glass on Cleaning COLUMBUS, Ohio. —If at times in the la»st sixty years the deliberations of the Ohio legislators seemed to in dicate the presence of brain cob webs there was rqason for it and all may be forgiven riow. When the statehouse custodian or dered a thorough cleaning of the senate chamber workmen found the ceiling to be made largely of glass, but so thick was the coating of dust and- debris that the present genera tion had supposed it to be of solid wood. The ceiling had not been cleaned since 1858. Four truck loads of dirt were removed from the ceil ing. One of the consequences ’of the cleaning will be to reduce Ohio’s electric light bill, since light will now penetrate into the chamber, if not into the debates during day s e s s i ons, Fined $5 for Pain-Killer ST. LOUIS, Mo. —Go easy on the rheumatism medicine. That is the advice of Allen Mo- Kay, of this city. McKay was ar rested o.n Ninth street in a seeming ly dazed condition.

It contained 65 per cent alcohol, but I didn’t know that When I drank a bottle of it.” “Did it cure your rheumatism?’’ the court asked. “It killed the pain.” “Five da' jars and costs.” THE TRUTH ABOUT GALL STONES A new booklet written by Dr. E.

Sidney was struck by an automo bile while taking a ride on the side of a street car in Gretna, the police say. The ear was torn from his head but he had it in his pocket when he arrived at his home.

FAILURE TO HAVE PEACE IS LAID AT DOOR OF WILSON BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT (Copyright 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.) WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5. Mr. Wilson’s facility for disposing of an uncomfortable fact and removing it from the course .of his reasoning by ignoring it, is well Illustrated in his veto of the Knox resolution de claring peace with Germany. He.sets forth strong and appealing rea’sons f-r not making peace in such an un satisfactory and inconclusive way. His reasoning upon this point seems to be unanswerable. He brings out with grpat force the failure to achive the objects of the war involved in the adoption of such a resolution. He says that the treaty at Versailles did accomplish these objects, but that it has been rejected by the senate of the United States, though ratified by Ger many. Though he condemns the sen ate for the failure to ratify, he utter ly ignores the fact known of all men, that the failure to secure a ratifica tion of the treaty by the senate was due to his own refusal to make con cessions which would not have im paired the usefulness of the treaty in achieving the objects he now proper ly appraises. In other words, the purpose of his mesage is to throw upon the Republicans of the senate the responsibility for the continua tion - ’ a state of war, when in fact it lies at his door. Man Held in Failure of Bank in Va. Kills Self NEWPORT Holloway, president of the Vassar- Abbott company, who was arrested here on charges in connection with the recent failure of the Colonial State bank here, shot and killed him self here a few days ago after he had been released on bail. Holloway and Frank R. Bartlett, cashier of the bank, were arresetd on a warrant sworn out by Common wealth’s Attorney Berkeley, charging them with the larceny of $15,000 from the bank. They furnished bond in the sum of $15,000 each. The bank was declared insolvent and failed to open its doors on Feb ruary 12. A report of the state cor- X’oration commission declared that credits of more than $300,000 extend ed to the V assar-Abbott company were responsible for the failure of the banK. Investigation of Holloway’s af fairs showed he had $79,000 in life insurance, all of which was assigned to the bank. Holloway was found dead in the dining room of his home by his wife, who had heard uie muffled report of the revolver. A copy of a morning newspaper, telling of his arrest, lay spread on the table. To Tell Floyd Farmers Os Need for Grain r,v ROME ’ Ga ” June 3 - — The Rome Chamber of Commerce wil send out letters to he farmers of Floyd coun ty and will run a series of advertise ments in the Rome newspapers set ting forth facts about the impending rood shortage and scarcity of grain. This action was decided upon Wed nesday at a well-attended meeting of the organization. The situation was discussed at great length and with much earnest ness by many speakers and this plan of action was agreed upon. Several of the speakers announced themselves as willing to put in a day’s work or a week’s work to help the farmer, if such was desirable, but no action was taken on this feature. John C.

Paid Pallbearers $lO PILLAR POINT, N. Y.—Just a year ago Chester Wiggins was seat ed in Putnam’s grocery store talk ing with Budd Miller, Dan Wagner, John Sims and Nathaniel Lord. Wig gins remarked that as he amj the men had been good friends all their lives, he wanted them to act as pall bearers at his funeral. He did not want them to offifficiate for nothing, he said, and would pay each $lO. He gave each man a dollar to bind the bargain, and said his executor would pay them the other $9 after he had “cashed” his last check. Grocer Jake Putnam was the wit ness to the agreement. Early in the winter Mr. Wiggins died. The four men selected acted as pallbearers at his funeral. A few weeks later B. F. Manley was ap pointed administrator of his estate and advertised for claims. The men presented their claims. Manley re fused to pay and the four men plac ed their claims with Attorney V. C. Wells, who threatened to start ac tion against Manley for $lO9 for each of his clients, the extra hundred being for character damages. Manley then paid each claimant $9 and also paid Lawyer Wells’ bill, amounting to $lO. physicians decided that it had slipped down into the digestive tract. The boy left the hospital with the silver half dollar tucked away in his deepest pocket. THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1920. REPUBLICANS TO GIVE HEARING TO CHAS. S. BARRETT CHICAGO, June 8. —Women, labor and farmer, will be given every op portunity to present their views and requests to the Republican national convention, it was announced here today. Special efforts will be made, ac cording to a national committee an nouncement, to give public hearings to women, labor and agricultural in terests by the resolutions committee. The resolutions committee, it was stated, will probably begin its hear ings immediately after adjournment o fthe first session of the conven tion. Special assurances that they will be given a chance to present the case has been given Harriet Taylor Up ton, of Columbus, Ohio, who will come here with representatives of the League of Women Voters, and to C. S. Barrett, Georgia, president of the Farmers’ National Union. Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was put to work today by- Will H. Hays, national chairman. Mr. Hays assigned him to the task of seeing that Mr. Barrett gets a proper hearing before the resolutions committee. The American Federation of Labor is also planning to send a strong delegation here to appear before the resolutions committee. When the national committee takes up the re port of the advisory committee on politics and platform, authorized several days ago, full public hear ings will be heard and an opportun ity be given every interested person to be heard. Wilson May Ask “Votes for Women” In North Carolina WASHINGTON, June 3.—Failure of the New Jersey legislature to rati fy the woman suffrage amendment before its adjournment at 3:30 Tues day, probably means that President ’ Wilson will bring extraordinary pressure to bear upon the Demo cratic legislature of North Carolina to ratify. This was forecast when the president sent a telegram to Democrats of the Delaware legisla ture, saying: “May I not, as a Democrat, express my deep interest iit the suffrage amendment, and my judgment that it would be of greatest service to the party if every Democratic in the Delaware legislature should vote for it?” The “interest of the party” is still more strongly typified in the North Carolina legislature, •now that Dela ware’s Republican assembly has fail ed to The fate of suffrage, so far as women voting this fall is concerned, now appears to be di rectly up to the tarheel legislators, and the president, along with Gov ernor Blckett and Senator Simmons, may be expected to bring all party pressure to bear. Suffrage headquarters here issued a statement expressing some hope of action in Vermont and Connecti cut and saying the national Repub lican leaders still have a chance to bfting about* ratification. “The gov ernor of Vermont has not yst an swered the appeal of his state con vention for a special session,” says the suffrage statement. Plans are under way for a great suffrage drive against the Republi can national convention at Chicago, Miss Alice Paul sent an appeal to five thousand women in the states surrounding Chicago asking them to send delegations to take part in a demonstration of protest at the Re publican convention. “If you cannot take part personal ly, please send a contribution for the traveling expenses of some one to take your place,” wired Miss Paul. “The Republican legislature of Dela ware refuses to ratifv the suffrage amendment. The Republican govern ors of Connecticut and Vermont, where the legislatures are counted upon to ratify, refuse to allow their legislatures to meet. We are con fronted by a serious emergency. It looks as though Republican opposi tion would preevnt millions of wom en from voting this November.” Miss Paul says that if “the best of women voice the disapproval they feel, the Republican party can hardly continue its present course.” Meanwhile, the president has re course to appeals to the North Caro lina legislature when it convenes the middle of the month. In view of hi® message to the Delaware Democratic leaders there is little doubht here that Mr. Wilson will urge even more strongly upon the Democratic party in North Carolina the necessity for immediate approval of the Susan B. Anthony amendment. Such action would give, a Demo cratic state credit of being the thir ty-sixth state. The decision of the supreme court denying the right of referendum appeal from the ratifica tion of the Ohio legislature definitely fixes thirty-five states in the rati fication column and only one state is needed. Shoplifter Gets Away With Lamp and Table KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Virginia Lewis, described by the police as the world’s “heavyweight shoplifter,” was arrested in her rooms and turn ed over to the state on charges pre ferred by a local furniture company. Detectives Denver Mitchell and Ed Smith went to the rooms of Virginia Lewis and there found, it is alleged, furniture valued at SI,OOO that had been stolen, it was charged, from the loading dock of the company. Virginia Lewis, who has been in police court many times, told the police that the articles were given to her by an employe. She said she could pick the man out if she were taken to the store. The police ac cepted this challenge, but after she had scanned the faces of all the store’s help she was unable to iden tify the man. The police theory is that Virginia Lewis had to haVe the assistance of a confederate who was familiar with the methods on the loading docks. The missing articles included a S3OO rug, a floor lamp, a table and a Mor ris chair. She Left Ellis Island to Wed Another, He Is Told NEW YORK, N. Y.—Earl J.
