THREAT CLEW II
PLOT TO SLAY
V
Two Shots Are Fired at Patrolman
McWilliams—Merchant Under
Surveillance—Arrest Likely.
A dealt] threat made several weeks
ago to Policeman J. W. McWilliams
furnished a clew for the detectives
Thursday in working on the myste
rious attempt to assassinate McWil
liams at his home in East Atlanta just
before he came to work early Thurs
day morning.
A business man is said to have ut
tered the threat against the officer.
He was placed under surveillance as
soon as the story of the incident was
told, and an arrest is expected if
the facts are found to bear out the
suspicions of McWilliams and the
detectives.
Thought to Bear Grudge.
The business man is reported to
have threatened to "get” McWilliams
if it took the rest of his life. An
arrest in which the patrolman partic
ipated is understood to have been the
cause of the remark
The patrolman went to his back
porch about midnight. As he leaned
over a basin in washing his face he
found himself looking right into a re-
\ olver thrust through the porch rail
ing.
Fired on Twice.
At the same instant he was deaf
ened by the report of the revolver,
and a bullet whizzed by his ear. He
started back, and the revolver clicked
again, but missed fire.
McWilliams rushed into the house
to get his pistol, and returned just
in time to see his would-be murderer
jump the fence. Before he could take
aim. the mysterious person disap
peared.
McWilliams told the story of the
attempted murder when he arrived at
headquarters, and the detective de
partment was put on the case.

Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally
if You Eat Meat Regularly.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid, which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only part
of the waste and poisons from the
blood: then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness. constipation. dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of .Tad Salts from
any r reliable pharmacy and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few- days, and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
ami has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, also t-» neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder disor
ders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, which all regular
meat eaters should take now and then to
keep the kidneys clean and the blood
pure thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.—Advt.
A Certain Young
Man
worked his way up to a good position and for some years had been
in receipt of a splendid salary.
He had the "onfidence and respect of his employers. They de
cided to take him into the firm on condition that he make an in
vestment of $1,500. It was a big opportunity for this young man
a chance of a lifetime.
Imagine his regret when he stood before his employers and
confessed that he had saved no money, but had spent his salary as
he received it—frittered it away.
Needless 1o say, he didn’t get the partnership.
