pany by the railroad*. President A.
F.. (“lift of the Central of Georgia in
a Htntement pabliahed today any* that
this wan a logical and natural move,
one that tt.ta in the interest of both
the railroad.-* and the public. He
says-
-Under the old arrangement the
express company acted as an inter
mediary or “middle man’ between the
railroads who transported the ship
ments -tnd the publir who paid for
the service. Under the new arrange
ment the public will deal directly
with the railroads."
Mr. Clift pays tribute U. the
efficiency of the American Railway
Kxpre s Company is follows:
“During its lone period of opera
tion the American Railway Express
Company cvirned an international
r«-putati«*n for efficiency and reliabil
ity in the performance of a varied
service to tiie shipping and traveling
public. That high standard of ner
vier will l>c maintained, and if possi
ble improved, by the new organiza
tion. The efficient and experienced
organization built up by the Ameri
can Railway Express Company will
be rorftjnued by tre new Upm
agency, no changes being contemplat
ed in the operating personnel. Rein
forcing bte management of the new
Railway Express Agency is a hoard
of director* which incluctes officers
of H-verul of this country's principal
milrodas men of recognized ability
and experience who have helped to
bring about the marked improvement
in railroad service during recent
years."
The business and plant of the
American Railway Express Company
were taken over on Mau-h 1 by the
i»l loading railroad- which that com
pany K-id l^een using in its express
service. A new company, the Rail
way Express Agency, was formed to
bundle express business. The HI rail
roads are the stockholders, owners
and operators of this new Agency.
L. A. Downs, former president of the
Central of Georgia and now president
of the Illinois Central System, is a
director of the new company. Direc
tors are •elected from the Southern,

j Th.- community life took on a new
note recently with the irjranization
of a post of The A met .can Legion.
The names of sixteen veterans ap-
pear on the charter granted by the
state department of the post, and
all but four are rated -as perman
ently disabled veterans. The organi
zation of the Legion post was made
per»*ble through the construction of
a community hall. The veterans
have bad no opportunity to hold any
general gatherings save those with
the sky as a roof. None of the
shacks or houses were large enough
to accommodate more than a half
dozer. nt a time. The legion post
and the community hall is expected
to do much to aid in the social wel
fare of the settlement.
An effort will be made by the
I<egioii to improve the water situa
tion. Some of the settlers arc forc
ed to travel many miles to obtain
water for drinking and for home use.
In one section there is only one well
and more than twenty families obtain
water from it. The Legion will not
make an effort to provide irrigation
water to any great extent as it is
believed the cost would ho prohibi
tive. The settlers for the most will
not be permanent residents. Most of
them have constructed small shacks
and real development of the proper
ties is regarded as practcially out of
the question.
“If we can d> somching to provide
them with dri» king water and pos
sibly enough I) do a little truck
gardening, it will help out consider
ably,” E. P. McDowell, state adjut
ant of the Legion, said in discussing
plans to aid the disabled veterans.
It was through the efforts of the
Kpiscopul mission that the commun
ity hall was provided for the settle
ment. The mission contributed the
money for the purchase of the lum
ber with the understanding that the
men would do the building and the
mission would be given use of the
hall for conducting Sunday services
and other meetings. The offer was
quickly (accented. Now that that
the Legion post has been established
and has a permanent meeting place,
the women are planning to organize
u unit of the Auxiliary.

West Helena, Ark,—-I am fifty-
two years of age. and I have taken
Black-Draught, when needed, all my
life” writes Mr. O. L. Smith, of 253
North Third Street, this city.
“When I was Just a child, my.
mother made Black-Draught tea,
and gavo it to me for colds and
biliousness. It was a family medi
cine with us.
“After I was grown and went out
on the farm, working hard, I would
get a dull, tired feeling and a bad
taste in my mouth. I would know
then, that J was bilious. I would
take a few doses of Black-Draught,
and soon feel good as new.
“In later years, I have taken
Black-Draught and it has helped
me for constipation and biliousness,
and I am still of the same belief, os
when a child, that Black-Draught
can’t be beaten.”
Thousands of men and women
find Black-Draught of great help in
relieving the common ailments, duo
to constipation, biliousness and in
digestion.
Black-Draught is prepared from
selected medicinal herbs and roots.
