DON’T OVERDO
ORJVER-EAT
But If You Do. a Few Doses of
Black-Draught May Prevent
Serious Trouble.
Nowata, Okla.—Mr. W. B. Dawson,
of this place, says: “I have known ot
Blaek-Drausht ever since I can re
rnemoer. and of all the liver medicines
I evei used. is without
doubt the best. We would not be
without it in the house.
I used to take pills and different
things, but after taking a course ot
strong medicine I would be left in a
constipated condition, and would need
then to use a laxative. But after t
began to take Black-Draught I did not
have any trouble of this kind.
I take a big dose at night and follow
a few nights with lighter doses, and
I atn like a new man until I overdo or
overeat and neglect to take care ot
myself until the liver gets out of fix,
when 1 have to go to Black-Draught
again.
Black-Draught I have ‘found is all
that is necessary for the bloated feel
ing in the stomach, sour stomach or
bad taste in the mouth so common in
spring in the swampy country. I be
lieve it mere people took it, there
wouldn’t”be so many having chills as
do.”

But Sizlforro-Scl, the Wonder
Medicine, Pulled Him Out,
Says a Birmingham
Resident.
“I have gone to work many a day feel
ing that pe/haps I would be able to do
at least one go >d day’s work only to find
that my indigestion pains would come
back on me and I would have to pi e up
and go back home and st of the time
po to bed," said Mr. J. G. Harris, 216 S.
61st St., Birmingham, Ala. "1 tried sev
eral doctors and many remedies but kept
on getting- worse until I was told an ope
ration w. s imperative. 1 was so thin
and run down from not being able to eat
solid food that I became just about hope
less. About this time Sulferro• ’ was
recommended to me by a friend, in terms
so strong I could not refuse to ti it. I
started on a small bottle and found my
soil improving almost at once. I had
only taken half of this small bottle when
I saw a big improvement in'my condition.
After that I toe' a large bottle and since
then I have had no more stomach t. ..ble
or indi, stion and can eat anything and
attend to my work with my whole vigor
and things are certainly com g my way
now. It does seem good to eat as heart
ily as I want t- after four years of deny
ing myself everything that I was moat
fond of and it ij also mighty good to get
up feeling fine and stay right on the job

GAMP HANCOCK NOW
ALMOST OESERTED
Machine Gunners Left Wednes
day for Camp Benning at
Columbus.
Today ('amp Hancock becomes practi
cally a thing of the past. Early this
morning the trucks of the Machine Gun
School, loaded with about half of th*
enlisted men, left Camp Hancock for
Camp Henning, at Columbus, Ga. The
rest of the men, numb -ring about 250,
will leave this afternoon at 4 o’clock via.
the Georgia railroad.
The caretakers' companies left in Camp
Hancock Include about 150 men. In ad
dition to these there are about 100 men
attached to the fire companies, quarter
masters’ corps and f.’nance offices. Prob
ably these men will b * v lie re six weeks
or move. Base Hospital plans have not
y i b'en definitely formulated.
\i th' Remount Station, out. on the
MilledgevlH© road, there remain about
300 men. They will be stationed then
indefinitely.
The hospitality which Augusta has ex
tended to the forces stationed here has
b -en unexcelled by any camp community
in the country. In leaving Augusta, of
ficers and men have expressed their ap
preciation in unstinted terms.
The closing of the camp does not mean
the immediate closing of the work of thn
War Camp Community Service, of which
Wm. H. Barrett is the head. The Sol
diers’ Clubs, which the service has
maintained will continue indefinitely.
The home hospitality and the eni'rtaln
ment program which has been followed
will be even more needed than ever sot
the few men left in camp. The War
Camp Community Service Is appealing
for special help in providing wholesome
pleasures for these men. Home enter
tainments. Sunday dinners and current
magazines are particularly wanted.
MURDERED WOMAN
FOUND IN HOUSE
Police Arrest Suspect in Con
nection With Death of Susie
Jones, Colored.
The body of Susie Jones, colored, was
found Tuesday afternoon in a room at her
residence, 1418 Wrightsboro Road, with a
bullet through the bead and another
through the breast. The woman was ap
parently murdered during Monday night.
The discovery was made by a colored
insurance agent named Martin, who call
ed at the woman’s house to collect week
ly dues. As there was no response to his
rapping at the door, Martin, realizing
that something must be wrong, entered
and found the woman’s body. He no
tified the police, who in turn notified Cor
oner R. E. Elliott.
Later in the day. as the results of in
vestigations by Plainclothesmaffi Dean and
Officer Newsome, a negro was arrested
on suspicion. No charges had been dock
eted against him Wednesday morning, as
investigations were still under way.
It is thought that robbery was the mo
tive of the apparent murder. The victim,
who was about 35 years old, was slightly
crippled and was known by her neighbors
to carry a purse about her neck. The
purse was found near her body. It was
open, and the money It was supposed to
have contained was missing.
The verdict of the coroner’s jury was
that the woman came to her death from
pistol shots inflicted by an unknown
party.

Cel. Bailey Here
•.day Tells of
Merman Treachery
Colonel Bailey was in the cltv yester
day for the purpose of establishing a re
cruiting office for the army, told the fol
lowing story of German treachery and
violation of the Hague tribunal, just pre
vious to the American attack on Vaux
last July. Colonel Bailey was then major
in command of the Fifteenth Field Artil
lery. which was adjustin':' shrapnel tire
upon the railroad embankment between
Vaux and Tlouresches.
During the afternoon, it was noticed
from a forward artillery observing post,
that long rows of stretchers wore passed
continually to and from tl;e German lines
in this vicinity. Whenever these stretch
er-bearers came Into range the American
artillery held its tire to allow them to
pass, as it was believed that they con
tained wounded.
Colonel Bailey says: "Quite naturally,
we thought our shrapnel fire was doing
great execution, so as the prisoners came
in on the day of the attack, T finestioned
many of them, with an idea of getting
Information ns to our marksmanship.
You can imagine my surprise wlton. upon
closely questioning one of the prisoners,
who seemed to be talkative. I elicited the
information that we had done very little
damage, as the machine gunners back
of the railroad were well dug in. and
when I ask* d the prisoner why, then, so
many stretchers had been passed to and
from these positions, he replied** ‘Oh, that
was the easiest way we could carry am
munition to the machine guns.’ ”
The army recruiting office here is In
charge of Corp. 1. O. Burnside and is lo
cated at 203 Ninth street.

Returns to Augusta
“Bill,” the Famous Newsie,

perous With Him.
"Bill” has returned.
Augusta’s distinguished newsboy, after
an absence of nearly two years, was on
the 700 block Wednesday morning renew
ing acquaintances, and Broad street look
ed like ye olden times.
Mr. William Ellas was prosperously
attired, and wore a prosperous smile be
neath a Panama hat. It was the same
old "Bill.”
When "Bill” left Augusta it was with
the boast that he bad left the old town
for good, inasmuch as “Augusta did not
appreciate a good business man." He
states that he is back for a visit of only
a few days, but those who know him
think that he will change his mind and
take his accustomed place in the city’s
business life.
"Bill” comes here from Savannah. He
says that he has picked up plenty of
money then* and in other points «>f in
terest, as papers sold like hot cakes
during the war times. "Bill” is to be
reckoned with as a competitor in th*
newsie field. «
Mr. Elias put in much of the morning
recounting to his friends his adventures
since he left Augusta.

THANKS PUBLIC FOR .
RESPONDING TO
ARMENIAN RELIEF
Haroutinian Brothers, who operate the
Armenian Fruit Co., 302 Ninth Street
wish to thank tin* Augusta public for
responding so nobly to the relief of their
own people and native land. These two
young Armenians, Messrs Charlie and
Sarkis came to Augusta nine years ago
from Tiflis, Caucasus. Georgia, where
their father and mother and other rela
tives now' reside, or rather this was their
home the last the hoys heard from them
as comr#uideation has been interrupted
since the world war.
These two young men since coming to
Augusta have built unite a business, arid
have always responded liberally to every
patriotie appeal that has beta made upon
them arid they feel very proud of the
fact that Augugtans have responded so
willingly to the help of their native
Armenia.
In speaking of the suffering that lias
come upon their people and others who
have been dying of starvation because
of the cruelty of the Turks and G**r
rnans. Mr. Haroutinian said: The piti
ful condition of the Armenians and others
who w'ere persecuted by the Turks and
Hermans began to reie h this country in
tfie fall of 1915. Instantly it was noteo
that the hearts of Americans were deep
ly touelied with sympathy for them. In
October of that year there was irnmedl
ately organized the American Committee
for Armenian and Syrian relief, ami the
splendirl and noble work that has teen
done for my own people since that time
Is a matter of history."
In this connection it might lie added
that Messrs. Haroutinian nre both full
fledged American:-;, and while born in
the old country, both are loyal ami pat
riotic Americans and arc considered by
all who know them as young men of
sterling qualities and substantial citi
zens.

GAMBLING INCREASES
IN CITY OF BERLIN
Berlin—Gambling has so Increased here
since the signing «>f the armistice until It
now seems impossible to satisfy the pas
sion of the residents of Berlin'who have
taken to playing games of chance oven
roulette in the open streets in certain
sections of the city. The police claim
they arc unable legally to prevent gaming
clubs from operating as long as the weak
membership regulations are observed It
is a fact, however, that the poliee cannot
slop games in the public streets. A few
weeks ago it was oomuton for th** po
lice to make eight or ten arrests dally
but this form of gambling lias Inerea.ad
by leaps and hounds until certain streets
are lined with tables edge to edge. The
bets have been Increasing grtidually in
size until men and women apparently of
the fioorer classes and often "wait-kless"
and drawing government support, wager
25 marks at a time.
The police occasionally appear on the
scene, whereupon the ga millers dlsap
pear, only to reappear quickly after the
officers have gone. The scene Is enliv
ened frequently by led tors who, after
losing, snatch money from the table ami

PRE-WAR PRICES ON
* COAL MAY PREVAIL
Washington—-Ref urn to prewar compet •
Rive conditions In (In* purchase of coal
for the national railroads may result
from the three cornered controversy be
tween the Railroad Administration, the
Industrial hoard and the coal operators
over the coal price rediu-Mon question.
Indication.” at the railroad administra
tion were that officials there would not
permit the coal dealers to fix a price
without Ho* railroads being a party to tho
agreement.
After the government took control of
the roads, the policy was adopted of dis
tributing the railroad coal purchases In
order to stimulate production. The re
sult was. officials say, that in many
cases the railroads paid much higher
prices than they would have paid If com
petitive mines had been used. Now Hint
tin* war emergency has passed, officials
d* elared they c ould call for bids and
force the prices down If such action were
forced.
