RENEW FIGHT
Dr.. w. E. Thompson Says Bill Will Be Drawn Tc Fight Race
 Gambling.

Memphis, Tenn, March 1.-"Tha fight for the suppress on of gambling on horse racing in Tennessee is just begun. The supreme court has said that our first Il was wrong. We will now proceed to draw one that will be right. It is only question of time when the evil will be absolutely eradicated in this state.
 So asserts the Rev. w. E. Thomp- son. who has just returned home Washington and to whom the decis on of the supreme court holding uncon- stitutional the Rice-Ligon bill came. as a distinct surprise.
 ''No t'me will be lost in reorganiZ- ing our forces" declared Dr. Thomp- son Wenesday morning, "and the next bill we present to the legislature will have no flaws in it. We have been checked. but We have profted by the supreme courts ruling
 Will Write to Candidates.
 Dr. Thompson says that this weN's he will commun cate with the various candidates for governor of Tenness ,= and definitely ascertain from them their att tude towards abolishing race track gambling in Tennessee. Each candidate will be asked if he will urge the passage of a prohibitory bill and whether he will sign such a measure of passed. The anti-forces through out the state VII be reorganized be- fore the next legislature convenes in order to be ready to start the crusade right at the start.
 'Two-thirds, nearly three-fourths, of the last legislature was with us.' says Dr. Thompson. "We anticipate no serious difficulty in carrying through our second movement. The battle is half won already, and not fraction Of the time or labor will be entailed in the passage of the second bill con- pared to that of the first"
 Action Not Unanimous.

stitutional was not unanimous, thinks Dr. Thompson. I understood" he says, "that two of the supreme jus tees supported it and two opposed it on constitutional grounds, but we believed that the fifth had not made up his mind. We confidently expect ed that the decision of the court would be favorable to us and were very much surpr sed to learn that the bill had been set aside.'
 Dr. Thompson calls attention to the demand made by Gov. Higgins Of New York on the legislature last week to suppress race horse gambling in the Emp're state. He makes the prediction that in few years gamb- ling on horse racing will be permitted ir only four or five commonwealths and that eventually the practice will be driven out of this country com pletely.

BLUFF DOESN'T GO
Sheriff Williams Touches Up Cover
 nor Davis CaustieaIly.

Hot Springs, Ark, March 1.-Sher- if Williams dictated the following to Gazette reporter last night regard ing Gov. Davis "lid' threat:
 "I know of no crime that Hot Springs or any of her citizens have committed against Gov. Davis. Two years ago, when he was running for governor for the third time Garland county gave him 1925 majority. He was pleased with the result and said nothing about closing gambling then, although he knew that he received the vote of every gambler in the city. Out of fifty saloons ill the city, not one vote went into or came out of the ballot box against him, and he knew it. Why he now declares he will close the town I fail to under stand, unless it is for the purpose of whipping us into line for him. I do not gamble and never did. and that is more than he can say and tell the truth. I would indeed be pleased to know what has brought about this change of heart in our governor. One things he can rest assured of, and that is that he can not force us to support h m for the senate of the United States. I would be pleased if he would let us know what crime we have committed against him. It is dollars to deughnuts that we will be able to show that he is at fault and not us.'

HANGING HERE SEEMS CERTAIN
Looks Like Two Negroes VIII Swing
Friday.

In all probability George Broughton
and John Graham. the two negroes in
the Americus Jail and sentenced to be
hanged next Friday. 18Th, will pay the
penalty of their crimes upon that date
and without further respite, as their
cases havs gone to the supreme court
and also to The last court of resort, the
Prison Commission. Attorneys for the
condemned negroes appeared before
the Commission the past week in an eff
fort in their behalf, and while that
body has not yet rendered a decision
little hope is entertained that the SEN
tence of the court will be changed.
Broughtcn killed his father-ln law,
Harry Horne, an inc IF ,nsive old negro
eighty years old, while Graham's crime
was equally atrocious. If the negroes
are to be hanged Friday next, the ex-
ecution will take place in private IN
rear of the county jail, both going
through the same trap.

Wait for
Hunger.
Good Advice from Dodson's Pharmacy
as to E.ow to Create an Appetite,

ANY physician will tell you that it is
unwise to eat unless one is really hungry.
1t is far better to miss meal than to
eat without appetite.
But do not take tonic, stimulant, or
appetizer to make you hungry. Dodson's
Pharmacy says that the best way TO
create an appetite IS to restore the
digestion to health by the use ofMi-o-na
stomach tablets, reliable remedy that
they sell with the best of satisfaction.
When MILO ma is used, the irritation
and inf ANIMATION of the stomach coat
ing WILL be soothed, the gastric foIlicles
will be strengthened 80 that they will
pour out the natural digestive fluids
with regularity, and the food you eat
will be perfectly digested without dr.
tress,
A large box of Mt-o.ns stomach
tablets is sold for so cents by Dodson's
Pharmacy, and it is so successful and
reliable.in curing indigestion and other
stomach troubles, with the exception of
cancer of the stomach, that they sell it
under a guarantee that the money will
be refunded unless it does all that is
claimed for It,

In the prettiest game of the entire
week Americas lost to Wsycross yes
terday in close score OF four to FIVE
and it required the tenth inning to
break the tie of four to four. In this
Americas lost by an error, and Way
cross won by single point only,
II was great game, and while the
visitors strung it with their two others
the audience OF 300 were none the less
appreeiative of the really excellent
game played by the Americas team.
From start to finish both clubs played
with snap and vigor.
Manager Powell had installed some
new timber in his club, and these ar
lists made good in q whirl. Crews,
the new pitcher, did great work, des-
pite the tedious all night trip here
from Birmingham and the fact that the
club was all new to him.
SorrelIs and Crawley, our new third
baseman and left fielder, did splendid
work, both striking home runs. In
fact the game throughout was excel.
lent, although we lost it.
Westbrook went behind the bat yes
terday and was 1s karat fine there, as
he is in any position.
Waycross played fine game here
yesterday, with Wilson and Griffin do
ing the battery work. They got eleven
hits If Americus, and made only one
error. McGrath's fair decisions were
alike pleasing to both clubs and the
al Hence OF nearly 300 people.
Yesterdays excellent playing revived

full share of games. Four good play.
ers were added yesterday, and there
are others coming later.
