Public Meeting.

A meeting is hereby called of all cit
zens. male and female. for Friday eve
uiDg, Oct. 20, at 7:3O o'clock, in the
lower court room, to discuss and Iagree
upon plans to prevent imposition upon
our citizens by unworthy persons and
also to identify ard relieve those real
ly worthy of aid. Present loose meth
DDS waste charity upon unworthy and
designing persons while depriving wor-
thy cases of relief sadly needed. The
plan to select one competent, discreet
person to whom will be entrusted the
work of hunting up the needy and Civ
ing necessary relief, and having all
others arrested for vagrancy. Indis-
criminate begging will be abolished and
punished, and gifts will thus reach
those who need and deserve help. This
call is the result of demand for pro-
lection against impostors.

For Constipation
A Medicine that Does Not
Cost Anything Unless 1t
Gives Satisfactory
Relief.

If you suffer from constipation in
any form whatever, acute or chronic
we will guarantee to supply you med,
icine that we honestly believe will
effect permanent relief if taken with
regularity and according to directions
for a reasonable length of time.
Should the medicine fail to benefit
you to your entire satisfaction we
promise that it shall cost you nothing.
No other remedy can be compared
with Rexall Orderlies for the easy,
pleasant and successful treatment of
constipation. The active medicinal
ingredient Of this remedy. which is
ordOrless. tasteless and colorless, is
an entirely new discovery. Combined
with other valuable ingredients it
forms a preparation which is incom-
parable as perfect bowel regulator,
intestinal invigorator and strengthen
er. Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy. and are notable for their gem
tie and agreeable action. They do
not cause gripping or any disagreeable
effect or inconvenience. and may be
taken tany time, day or night.
We particularly recommend Rexall
OrderIies for children and for delicate
or aged persons. because they not
contain anything injurious. Unlike
other preparations, they do not create
habit, but instead they overcome
the habits acquired through the use
of ordinary laxatives. catharics, and
hai sh physic. and remove the causes
of constipation or irregular bowel
action that are not of surgical variety
We want you to try RexaIl OrderlieS
at our risk. We know of nothing that
will do you so much good. They are
prepared in tablet form in two sizes;
SO tablets 25c, and II tablets 10c. Re-
member you can obtain Rexall Rene
dies in Richmond only at our store
The Rexall Store. Sold by Perry and
Thomas, Richmond.

The result of next Tuesdays slec-
ton will determine who shall have
charge of administration of the
finances of Madison county for the
ensuing four years. There will be
absolutely no doubt about the matter
if the Democrats will 60 to the polls
and cast their vote. This county is
Democratic by more than six hundred
if the strength of the party is polled,
but in past elections many Demo-
Gratis have failed to go to the polls on
election day, thereby placing the
party's chances for success in jeop-
ardy.

Hev. Listen to This, Girls.

Listen to me, you pretty girls! Do
Y ~ know that plain, sensible girl is
m ich more in demand than is friv-
o GUS beauty? Do you know that well
q pointed. sensible man does not
often give his heart or his home into
{ le keeping of woman whose only
attraction is her personal loneliness?
And that in case he does anything so
rash, when he repents at his leisure,
ne usually tells her so?

\ DEBT OF HONOR
Payment of Harriman's Claim Against The Government For Closing Break in Colorado River
 Urged by Press

Since B. H. Harrlman's recent visit Co Los Angeles, at which time he promised to build a big union depot in that city when Congress reimbursed him for closing the break the Colo rado Rver, the Los Angeles papers have been urging that this claim be settled as debt Of honor. The latest appeal is from the Los Angeles Even ing News, which says;
 Aside from the hope of Los Angeles in the matter, the justice of Mir. liar riman's claim Is so apparent that we do not see how Congress can refuse to meet 1t. Up to the time of the break, neither the Southern Pacific nor the California Development Com panies had taken any advantage of natural conditions to advance their private interests. They had done nothing which could have resulted in any injury to any individual living under the Colorado river at any point. They had made only the most legiti- mate use of the river to further val uable enterprise. They were not re- sponsible for the freaks of that tur- bulent stream, which has such tre- mendous possibilities, but which re- sists control as If It's contest were directed by stubborn intelligence.
 "When the break occurred some- thing had to be done at once. The government could do nothing and there was no contracting company in the world, perhaps, in a position to handle proposition of that size on such short notice. Under instructions from MT. Hartman Colonel Epes Randolph took charge of the situation and handled it with an expediency which attracted the attention and com- pelled the admiration of the world. A more wonderful engineering feat was never accomplished in the same length of time We believe that the cost was vastly less than 1t possibly could have been had It been undertaken by the government or by some lesser company. The Southern Pacific took advantage of it's remarkable facilities and localized it's great powers on this point until the break was effectually closed When Colonel Randolph re- ported to Mir Hartman that the work was finished. Mir Hartman announced unhesitatingly that he regarded this feat as the greatest accomplishment of his life. The payment of this mon ey to MT. Hartman is national debt of honor. and not to pay 1t would be dishonor"
