ACUTE INDIGESTION
SOON RELIEVED
Arkansas Lady Says She
Was in a Serious Condi
tion, but Promptly Re
covered After Taking
Thedford’s Black-
Draught
Peach Orchard, Ark.—Mrs. Etta
Cox, of this place, says: ‘‘Some time
ago I had a spell of acute indiges
tion, and was in a had fix. I knew
I must have a laxative and tried
Black-Draught. It relieved me, and
I soon was all right.
“I can’t say enough for Thedford's
Black-Draught, and the great good
it did for me.
“It is fine for stomach and liver
trouble, and I keep it for this. A
few doses soon make me feel as
good as new. lam glad to tell others
the good it did.”
Acute indigestion is a serious mat
ter and needs prompt treatment or
dangerous results may ensue. A
physician’s help may be needed, but
a good dose of Thedford's Black-
Draught will be of benefit by reliev
ing the system from the undigested
food which is the cause of the trou
ble.
; Thedford’s Black-Draught is pure
ly vegetable, not disagreeably to
take and acts in a prompt and nat*
ural way.
So many thousands of persons have
been benefited by the use of Thed
ford's Black-Draught. you should
have no hesitancy in trying this val
uable, old well-established remedy,
for most liver and stomach disor
ders.

THE ATLANTA TRI-VVE
Uses Cartridges
On Snakes; Then
Deer Shows Up
EUREKA, Cal.—Stanley Ros
coe, rancher of the upper Mattole
valley, south of this city, has re-’
turned from a deer hunting trip.
He is full of remorse at the
fact that he encountered his first
deer immediately after he had
used all his ammunition defend
ing himself from a nest of rattle
snakes.
He was following a buck's
tracks when he found himself
standing on a rattler. He killed
the reptile and then discovered he
was in a rattler’s nest. He shot
twenty-three before all his ammu
nition was gone.
As he moved away the buck
came into view. Roscoe gazed at
it, muttered something that was
not reported and started home.
PAPERS OF BOTH
PARTIES COMMENT
ON WILSON SPEECH
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—The effect
of President Wilson’s address to the
delegation of pro-league Republicans
at the White House yesterday is re
garded by political observers here as
problematical.
Republican managers and Repub
lican newspapers were Quick to seize
upon the president’s eloquent de
fense o fthe covenant, especially Ar
ticle X, as in effect a rebuke to Gov
ernor Cox for his intimation in his
recent speech at Huntington, W. Va.,
that he would be willing to com
promise and accept almost any res
ervations upon which two-thirds ot
the senate might agree. The New
York Herald, in its editorial today
reflects the view taken in Republican
circles generally when it says:
“Governor Cox in the eleventh
hour of his unscrupulous campaign
comes out and virtually says he will
do anything to the league to get
votes. But President Wilson comes
back and says the League of Nations,
his league. Article X. and all, is sa
cred and let no Democrat dare touch
it.”
Governor Cox’s Huntington decla
ration is being as extensively re
printed by the Republicans today as
Senator Harding’s Des Moines “re
jection” remarks have been reprinted
by the Democrats.
On the other hand, Democratic
managers and Democratic newspa
pers hold not only that there is noth
infg ’n the president’s address jus
tifying in the slightest degree the
charge that he has rebuked the
party’s candidate but that the docu
ment will prove of greatest value in
garnering pro-league Republican
votes for Cox next Tuesday. It is
pointed out also that the president
is quite specific in denouncing the
attitude taken by Harding, particu
larly on his “American first” plat
form. The Democratic view gener
ally ’.s voiced by the New York
Times which says at the end of a
long editorial analyzing the presi
dent’s address:
“A vote for Harding Is a vote to
destroy the league, to leave the
world open to the ravages of war. A
vote for Cox is a vote to form an
indestructible union of nations for
peace.”
“Fence” for Stolen
Automobiles Believed
Found in Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 27.—A
grand jury investigation here is ex
pected to reveal one of the largest
thieving “fences” for stolen automo
biles in the south, at Lexington.
Tenn , following the arrest of a negro
in that town, and the recovery of
four cars. The owner of a garage
through which the cars are alleged
to have been sold appeared before
the Davidson county grand jury.
Detective Sam Giles, of the local
force, after an investigating trip,
says it is possible nearly 200 cars
may be recovered. All of them, he
says, he believes have had the en
gine numbers and other marks of
identification systematically changed.
Memphis detectives are also work
ing on the case in co-operation with
the Nashville sleuths.

Stock Judging Contest
Was Big Event of Fair,
Declares Mort. L. Bixler
BY MOST L. BIXLSR
(Director of Publicity, Southeastern
Fair)
Dean Swift made his giant say
that in Brobindinag they honored
above their greatest general, and one
who had made two blades of grass
grow, where only one grew before.
What then should we say of those
who are not only trying to make
tow blades of grass or two ears of
corn grow where only one grew be
fore. and who proposes to make that
corn and grass, and through breed
ing of better animals, produce two
pounds of good meat food where only
one was produced before: in other
words, through pure-bred animals,
instead of increasing the number,
get double the product by banishing
the scrub and inferior.
This is the ultimate result of the
International Club stock judging
contest at the Southeastern fair at
Atlanta. October 16-26, 1920, if not
the avotved purpose, and I think that
when t>ose boys get to London and
King George of Great Britain learns
of their accomplishments at the
Southeastern fair, he will, like the
King of Brobindinag, honor them
above any American general who
may be in London. I am quite sure
that in court annals, it will be re
corded that on a certain day, in June.
1921. that Jack Turner, of Hillsboro;
Alva De.bnan, of La Mesa, and Gil
bert Welting, of Marlin .all of the
Lone Star State of Texas, were pre
sented to King George, as the win
ners of the stock judging contest at
the Southeastern fair, in which thir
teen other states were competing,
and who will. I am sure, say some
thing to them that will live in ’lit
erature as a record of the events of
progress in the world.
It is in no sense an unfriendly
criticism to express regret that
the business men of Atlanta,
through their chamber of commerce,
did not confer some honor on these
boys as an expression of apprecia
tion. that would have Intimated to
King George that we had some Idea
of the accomplishment of these boys
from Texas.
In England they have great re
spect for parchment, ribbons and
medals —they are rightly regarded
as conferring distinction —not of so
cial superiority but fdr personal ac
complishment. How fine then it
would have been to have established
the “Order of Atlanta” and presented
a medal to each of those boys, and
to annually make as a closing scene
of the pageant the presentation of
these medals.
I suggest this, because I think
that the international club stock
judging contest was the greatest
feature of the Southeastern fair, and
I W’ould like to think that next year
this medal will be struck, and on
its obverse side there shall be a
profile of the late Dr. S. A. Knapp,
who. if a lahd should have deities,
should be one of the gods of the
households of the south. His bust
should be over the entrance of every

satisfactory results than S.S.S., the
‘ fine old blood remedy that goes

fair ground, and there should be a
perpetual inquiry as to why, so that
every one might know of the great
foundation he laid, which has re
sulted in centering in the south and
around Atlanta, the boys and girls’
club influences, which resulted in
the staging of this contest at the
Southeastern fair.
It was very fortunate, in my opin
ion. that such a wide-awake, long
visioned superintendent should have
been available in the person of C. A.
Cobb, editor of the Southern Rural
ist. x
At a banquet given to the agents
who coached the teams at the Cap
ital City club, President Hastings,
of the* fair association, said: “The
Southeastern fair has featured the
international club stock judging con
test rom the start. In the future,
we hope it will develop to such an
outstanding feature that it will not
only hold the states now’ competing,
but also bring in every state in the
union and teams frorti the provinces
of Canada and the nations of Cen
tral and South America.” Some long
vision, that.
Judge Wentworth said: “Judging
contests at fairs are not new, but
the international club judging con
test offers prizes and opportunities
greater than anything staged before.
It will do more to put Atlanta and
the Southeastern fair on the map and
to develop real men throughout the
country than anything with which
I am familiar.”

State Senator Barrett
Painfully Injured When
Struck by Motorcycle
Fermor Barrett, of Toccoa, Ga.,
one of the most prominent members
of the Georgia bar and state sena
tor from the Thirty-first district,
is a patient at the Davis-Fischer
sanatorium, suffering from painful
injuries received late Wednesday aft
ernoon. when he was struck by a
motorcycle after alighting from a
street car at the Brookwood sta
tion.
Senator Barrett sustained severe
lacerations and bruises about the
face and head ana physicians in
attendance at the sanatorium be
lieve his right arm is fractured. He
spent a restless night at the hos
pital.
The motorcycle was driven by J.
L. Springer, nineteen years old, of
39 Inman Circle. He was arrest
ed by Patrolman Melton shortly aft
er the accident and gave SIOO bond
for appearance in recorder’s court to
answer to a charge of reckless driv
ing. The case has been set for
Thursday afternoon, although It is
believed that a postponement will
be necessary on account of Senator
Barrett’s condition.
Senator Barrett is a prominent fig
ure in state politics and was vice
chairman of the retiring state Dem
ocratic executive committee.

Father Holds Bride a Prisoner,
Says Bridegroom in Court
NEW YORK.—Douglas Morton, of
Yorktown. N. Y., known to all his
neighbors as "a splendid young man,”
has made an attempt to rescue his
bride from the clutches of her fa
ther, who, Mr. Morton says, has been
holding her prisoner since their mar
riage, October 1.
He was deeply moved by a note
Which he received from his Betty,
In which she Is said to have implored
him “for God’s sake get me out
of here!” and set about her rescue
forthwith, retaining an attorney and
obtaining a writ of habeas corpus.
There was a hearing oq. the writ
is the supreme court at White Plains,
and Douglas and Betty saw each oth
er for the first time since the lat
ter went home to get some clothes
after Clinton T. Brown, a justice of
the peace, had married them.
They were unable to speak to each
other, howeverfl for Betty’s father,
George B. McClelland, a contractor
of Yorkville, also was in court and
would not. permit it.
“Mrs. Morton is being kept under
lock and key by her father,” said
Benjamin I. Fagin, corporation coun
sel of Ossining, who is attorney for
the brideless bridegroom. “It is
an outrage that this young man can
not have his bride. His neighbors
all say he is a splendid young man.”
Mr. McClelland had no attorney. He
told Justice Y’oung what he had to
say himself.
G.O.P. APPEAL TO
CORPORATIONS IS
BARED BY WHITE
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Portions of
a circular letter said to have been
sent to directors of corporations by
an official of the Republican national
committee were made public here
last night by George White, chair
man of the Democratic national com
mittee. Mr. White declared the let
ter tends to prove Governor Cox’s
charge that Republicans would “sell
out to the corporations.” Mr. White’s
statement follows:
“A circular letter sent to directors
of corporations by Charles B. War
ren, chairman of the ways and means
committee of the Republican national
committee, has come to my atten
tion. The contents of this letter will
convince all who have any remaining
doubt that the Republican national
committee is prepared to sell out the
United States of America to the cor
porations if Senator Harding is elect
ed. This is a grave charge, but it
is borne out by the contents of Mr.
Warren’s letter.
“Under date of October 20, 1920,
In addressing directors of corpora
tions. he writes:
“ ’Will you, therefore, determine
promptly what the value of Republi
can success means to you and your
corporate interests? Make your fi
nancial pledge accordingly and mail
the inclosed card with remittance
to the Detroit office today.' The sig
nature of Mr. Warren is not only
printed on this letter but it is sign
ed in ink over the printed names. The
letter Is written on the stationery of
the Republican ways and means com
mittee, which bears the name of
the committee officials also.
“No more sordid document nor one
more corroborative of Governor
Cox’s charge that certain corpora
tions are trying to buy an underhold
in the government has come to light
in this campaign.
“There is another phrase of Mr.
Warren’s letter bearing out the Dem
ocratic charge of millions to be em
ployed in an endeavor to elect Sena
tor Harding. Remember, it is dated
October 20, 1920, two days after the
Republican national committee re
ported an expenditure of over three
millions of dollars. Mr. Warren
writes:
“ ‘Through over-confidence, or in
ertia on the part of Republican busi
ness men, asubstantial portion of the
campaign expense is still unprovided
for.’
"The letter to which I refer is on
file in my office and I am prepared
to submit it to anyone who doubts
its authenticity. It is a direct pledge
to the selfish corporations in America
by the chairman of the Republican
ways and means committee, that if
they will Invest in Senator Hard
ing’s campaign, President Harding’s
administration will see that they are
paid royal dividends out of the peo
ple’s funds.
“What can the average citizen ex
pect of an administration sold out in
adv ance?”
League of Nations Issue
Is Above Party, Asserts
Franklin D. Roosevelt
BALTIMORE, Md.. Oct. 27. —As-
serting that the League of Nations
issue wa g above party, and involved
not only the honor but the future
prosperity of the country, Franklin
D. Roosevelt predicted in an ad
dress before a large audience in
the Richmond Market armory here
tonight, that Governor Cox would
be elected because Ke favored going
into the league—“the carrying out
of the great moral purpose for which
we entered the war.”
He also criticized Senator Hard
ing for his “reactionary record” as a
legislator, praised the administra
tion of Governor Cox in Ohio, which
he said was “a record of progres
sive achievement” and took issue
with Governor Coolidge for his re
cent statement that one of the prin
cipal issues this year is “whether
our government shall or shall not
be a government of laws and not of
men.”
Mr. Roosevelt arrived here from
Cumberland, where he addressed two
large outdoor meetings in a drizz
ling rain.
Referring<.to Gov. Coolidge’s state
ment, he said in part:
“A government of laws only has
never succeeded and can never suc
ceed. The constitution itself, which
Mr. Coolidge so often refers to, is
incomplete and always has been. It
depends for its success on the in
terpretation of that document and
its application to existing circum
stances by human beings.”
Mr. Roosevelt severely criticized
Senator Harding for his alleged
“wiggle-wobble” policy on the
league, stating that “none of the
great men of our history achieved
fame or success by trping to carry
water on both shoulders.”
“I believe,” he said, "that the
president of the United States should
be a strong, unselfish, fearless man,
especially one who already has had
training in an administrative posi
tion.”

Passes Forged Check
On Blind Coroner
AMERICUS, Ga., Oct. 28.—Charg
ed with having raised a check orig
inally drawn for SI.OO to read $5.00,
Zachariah Whitehead, a D°Soto ne
gro, is held in jail here. The raised
eheck was passed upon Ed Jenkins.
Sumter county’s blind coroner, who
gave Whitehead $4.55 in cash, and
some merchandise for the check.
Some time ago a negro known as
“Overall Charlie" passed a piece of
oiled paper on the blind coroner
for a dollar bill, and on conviction
of the offense was called the mean
est thief in Georgia.
"This man Morton Is twenty years
older than my daughter,” he said,
"and he is a divorced man. This man
waited outside the high -school and
took my daughter away in an auto
mobile—and it was a borrowed ma
chine, too. We consider her too
young to be married. I have not
kept her under lock and key and
she is not a prisoner. I will say
I have not let her go to high school
because I didn’t want to endanger her
any more.”
Whatever Betty may have told the
justice of the peace when the cere
mony was performed, Mr. McClelland
said, she was only seventeen years
old. She never had a suitor before
and it seems she was carried off he’
feet by the first man that care
along. Girls as young as that, sa?
Ing they are eighteen .years old be
fore a justice of the peace, very like!
do so because of the husband’s in
structions. The daughter told me
that her husband frequently visited
her at her home before her mar
riage.”
"As a neighbor, your honor; as n
neighbor only!” Mr. McClelland in
terrupted at this point, getting a lau" !
from every one in the court room, in
cluding Justice Young.
"You might have thought that was

Cooks Hot Cakes
For Governor Cox

BY ML2BL ABBOTT
EN ROUTE ON GOVERNOR
COX’S SPECIAL TRAlN.—Govern
or Cox has a weakness.
Don’t get excited, campaign gum
shoers. It won’t furnish you any
ammunition.
The governor’s great weakness —
the temptation he simply cannot re
sist—is hot cakes and maple syrup.
If he doesn’t see them on his
breakfast table every morning, he
calls for them, in no uncertain tones.
And often he calls for them again,
after be has eaten the first order.
John Stephenson, chef on the spe
3ial car. "Federal,” which is carry
ing (he governor on his campaign,
has learned the governor’s vulner
able spot, and makes a double dose
of hot cake batter every morning.
John is an Englishman. He has
been a cook on railways for 32 years,
and for a good many of them he
has been cooking for the celebrities
who travel in special cars. They a)l
have their pet dishes, he says, but
he never knew one who loved hot
cakes as docs the Democratic can
didate for president.
President Wilson, for instance, is
especially susceptible to the in
fluence of a chickbn dinner. John
cooked many of them for him and
Mrs. Wilson. The late President
Roosevelt also liked chicken; though
he was almost equally fond of beef
steak or chops, and was strong on
pie.

KANSAS CITY. —The home of
W. F. Metsker, a cigar dealer in
Kansas City, Kan., is so dissected
by the city limits that he sleeps
in the county, but eats in the city
and receives his mail in the city,
but empties his ashes in the
county. Because Os this imagin
,ry line, he does not know where
he can vote, if vote he does at all,
in November.
As She receives his mail in the
city, he registered in the city, but
Charles Scheller, election commis
sioner, struck his name from the
registration book. "The courts
repeatedly have held that a man’s
home is where he sleeps.” Schel
ler told him: "You sleep in the
county, so you must vote in the
county.”
So Metsker went to A. H. Skin
ner, assistant city attorney, who
will have the city engineer survey
the site to ascertain if the great
er part of the house is in the city
or without.
VICTORY MEDALS
BEING REQUESTED
AT SLOW RATE
CAMP GORDON, Oct. 26.—Major
General Peter C. Harris, the adjutant
general of the army, in a circular
issued from the war department, says
that victory medals for service in
the recent world war are being ap
plied for so slowly that officers in
charge of the distribution are ordered
to make the utmost effort tc reach
all former service men w.io deserve
the medal.
It is estimated that 3,757,624 men
who served in the army are entitled
to the decoration, but to date only
about 370,000 have applied. Applica.
tions are reaching the war depart
ment at the rate of only 6,800 a
day, which is far below the capacity
for issue of the working crew lit the
Philadelphia general supply depot.
The quartermaster has put on a large
force and these men are being held
at much expense to the government.
“It is no more difficult to make
out a form for the victory medal,’
announces General Harris, “than it is
to fill out a money order blank. This
form verifies the recipient’s service
and his present whereabouts. It will
prevent the medal from falling into
the wrong hands. The government’s
gift is a work of art, not a bauble,
and has intrinsic as well as senti
mental val.ue. It cannot be sent out
to unverified addresses any more
than Liberty Bonds or war insurance
checks, many of which have been
lost in spite of all possible care. The
ex-service man has only to apply to
the nearest army post or recruiting
officer in his home town, or through
any patriotic society such as the
American Legion or the Veterans of
Foreign Wars. Here he will be
shown how to fill out the blank and
if his discharge papers are correct,
the application is forwarded direct
to Philadelphia, and the medal mailed
within a week. Hundreds of appli
cants have given wrong addresses
and many medals are returned daily
by the postoffice .because the men
cannot be located.”
For service in the United States
117,194 medals have been issued to
date, and 79,092 for service in for
eign countries. There have been
56,005 medals with three battle
clasps issued, and 53,510 with two
battle clasps. These are the largest
number of all with battle clasps
which range from' one to eleven.
There have been fifty-two medals Is
sued with nine clasps, nine medals
with ten clasps and two with eleven.
The American Legion makes no
distinction between members and
non-members in the distribution of
victory medals, and there are blank
forms for applications to be made
out by the next of kin in case of n
service man who was killed in action
or who died in line of duty. The camp
adjutant at Camp Gordon and the
Atlanta recruiting office has a sup
ply of forms which may be had for
the asking.

“Before taking Tanlac I suffered
from one of the worst cases of stom
ach trouble a man ever had,” said
Frank Brown, of 638 Fourth ave
nue, Huntington, W Va.
"On returning home from the war
I was all worn out and my digestion
was awful,” continued Mr. Brown. “I
had no appetite and my food felt
like a weight in my stomach. I
would bloat up terribly with sour' 1
gas and become nauseated and have
dizzy spells and would tremble like
a leaf. 1 got nervous when I went
to bed, I would roll and tumble and
couldn’t sleep. In the mornings
didn’t even feel like putting my
clothes on and at times I suffered so
bad that I would break out into a
sweat.
‘After I began taking Tanlac I
began improving right Cjif. I huve
only taken two bottles now and
feel-as fin© as I ever did in my
life. I want to be eating all the
time. I no longer suffer from in
digestion or from gas on my stom
ach and I am free from nausea and
dizzy spells. I sleep like a top and
I always get up in the mornings
feeling fine. I have gained ten
• pounds in weight and will always
have a good word for Tanlac.”
