CALOMEL GIVES ONLY
TEMPORARY RELIEF
So Powerful it Shocks Liver and
Leaves it Weaker Than Before
DOdsOn's Liver-TOne Per-
feet Substitute.

Nearly everybody who has ever tried
calomel for constipation or sluggish
liver has found that it gives only a
temporary relief. For calomel is such
a powerful drug that it shocks and
weakens the liver and makes it less
able afterward to do its duty than in
the first place.
This is one of the reasons why W. G.
Mayes' drug store would rather sell
Dodson's Liver-Tone to you than cal
omel. We know that Dodson's Liver
Tone is a pure vegetable liver tonic
that will cure constipation quickly and
gently without any danger of bad af-
ter-effects. We guarantee it to dc
this with a guarantee that is simple
and fair. If you buy a bottle of Dod-
sons Liver-Tone for yourself or your
children, and do not find that it is
perfect substitute for calomel, then
come back to the store and get your
money. If you don't get value for your
money out of this tonic, it's your right
to expect your money back, and we
will gladly give it to you.

PASSION FOR PEARLS CAUSES
WESTERN WOMAN TO SUICIDE

New York, March 20.-Mrs. Blanche
Carson, of San Francisco, who was ar
rested here for smuggling in several
thousand dollars worth Of jewelry on
her arrival from India, committed sui
eide early today by hanging herself out
of the window of her hotel.
The body of Mrs. Carson was seen
by a pedestrian, swinging from win
dow of the eighth floor of the Hotel
Broztell The clerk was notified and
the door of Mrs. Carson's room was
forced. A rope, securely tied to ra-
diator, passed out of the window, at
the end of which dangled the body OF
the woman.
The body was still warm and she
had not been dead more than an hour
when discovered.
Mrs. Carson reached here the day
before yesterday, on the steamship
George Washington. She was arrest
ed on the charge of gross underValua-
ton and smuggling, after having con-
fessed that she had smuggled in jew
elry which the authorities valued at
$4,000. On her arrival, Mrs. Carson
had declared package of unstrung
pearls, but had undervalued them so
grossly that the customs inspectors
decided that she had not told the truth.
On her appearance for examination
yesterday, she broke down and told OF
the large amount of jewelry that she
had brought into the country conceal
ed in her hat and elsewhere in her
baggage. Released on $4,000 bail, for
further examination Friday, Mrs. Car
son went uptown, presumably to
her hotel.
She registered at the hotel as Mrs.
Edwin Carson, of Paris. She was about
so years of age and was making trip
around the world alone,

IMPROVE FARM LIFE.
The Telephone as First Aid for the
Farm and the Farmer-Puts
Farm in Touch.

William Jennings Bryan, who fire.
quently lays aside politics for the dis
cussion of other questions of equally
absorbing interest delivered before
the conservation congress, recently
held in Kansas City, a. most interest
ing address on Conservation and the
Improvement of Farm Life" which
makes an appeal that all who take to
heart their countrys future prosperity
and that of their posterity will do well
to heed. There are those who cherish
Mr.. Bryan's views on political topics
and those who do not. The questions
of the conservation of our natural re-
sources and the development of farm
life are essentially so devoid of politi-
cal bearing, that all must be deeply
impressed with his hearty endorse
ment of the movements which are to
do so much for the country and parti-
cularly the farmer.
For obvious reasons the address can
not be given here, but suffice it to say
that Mr.. Bryan looks for the protec-
ton of our water sheds, the conserVa-
tive cutting of timber, reforestation OF
denuded timber land and the extensive
use of irrigation to reclaim arid
areas; and emphasizes the dire mis-
fortune that is sure to come if the
people wait until necessity compels
US to conserve the nations resources
when We become aware that they are
! becoming impoverished"
"What will make our farms more at
tractive?" Mr.. Bryan asks, and reply
ing to his own question, gives first
place in his thoughts to the telephone

the farmers telephone-in these
words:
"It seems to me that just now there
are a number of things that conspire
to add to the attractiveness of the
farms. Invention has already added
largely to the comforts of the farmer.
I live four miles nearly from the city.
The telephone enables me to send and
receive kilograms; it enables me to
call the physician in a moment I
know of no one thing that hangs more
heavily on the mother than the fact,
when sickness comes. or accident, it
is so long before one can be sent to
the physician, and the physician
brought. Today, with the telephone,
we cut in two at least, the time be-
tween the accident and the relief
Can any argument be more convinc-
ing than this? Can any of our tillers
Of the soil, who contribute so largely
to the welfare of the country, still
doubt, after reading this, that the rural
telephone is their rock and their saliva
tion? We venture to state that moth
ing in recnt years has proved so bene-
fetal to the farmer as the telephone
which has been placed at his command.
Only one use has been mentioned
above, though it is one which probably
appeals most strongly to the farmers
better self or better-half.
The rural telephone, however, has
other uses which make it invaluable
as time saver and an annihilator of
space. The vigorous campaign which
has been carried on for some time
past by the Western Electric COM
pany, which holds the unique position
of being the largest manufacturer of
telephone apparatus in the world, has
been the means of convincing great
host of farmers that their homes will
be better safeguarded, their social life
made more agreeable, their facilities
for handling business increased, and,
in general, life made easier and more
attractive as a result of the advent of
the rural telephone.
The farm is a great, vital factor in
our economic problems and must not
become devitalized, else the end will
not be far to seek. The telephone will
help in very great measure to pre-
vent such industrial decay and, more
than that, will open up new fields of
endeayor.

HUNT FOR NEGRO IN + COUNTIES.
Laurens Posses Searching for Wesley
Hill-Arrest His Two Brothers.

A man-hunt over four counties has
been carried on since last Saturday
night, under the direction of the au-
thorities of Laurens county for Wes-
ley Hill, the negro who is believed to
have murdered W. R. Bryson, prom
inent farmer of Mountville, last Sat
urday afternoon. Special deputies
have been called into service for the
search. They trailed the negro
through Laurens, Newberry and Lex
ington counties and into Richland
county.
Sheriff Buford sent two deputies to
Prosperity, but the crowd had crossed
the Saluda river on trail of the negro.
Wesley Hills two brothers, Joe and
Charlie Hill, and negro woman, Orie
Williams, have been arrested.
Joe and Charlie Hill were taken to
Columbia Tuesday night from Lexing-
ton by S. C. Reid, deputy sheriff of
Laurens county. They are charged
with aiding their brother to escape af-
ter he did the shooting. The two ne
groes we're kept in the police station
Tuesday night and were taken to Laur-
ems Wednesday morning. The negro
woman was arrested Monday at Mount
vile on the charge of having been an
accessory to the crime of Wesley Hill.
She is in Jail at Laurens.
The posse of about 20 men in search
of Wesley Hill divided Tuesday. A few
of its members came to Columbia
Tuesday morning, while the others
continued the search in Lexington
county in the neighborhood of Lees
vile. The party in Columbia searched
several houses where Wesley Hill was
believed to be hiding. Deputy Sheriff
Reid spent Tuesday watching the;
bridge across Broad river where it
was thought Wesley Hill might come
from Lexington county.
Soon after Mr. Bryson was shot Joe
Hill, the brother of the negro accused
of the shooting, was arrested near
Mountville. The negro is said to have
confessed that he helped Wesley Hill
to escape and promised to take the
posse to the house where he was hid
ing. Monday afternoon Joe Hill was
carried on the Columbia, Newberry anl
Laurens train to Kilgore Hill, about
three miles north of Prosperity. From
there he took the posse to the huose of
Charlie Hill, but Wesley Hill was not
there. Charlie Hill guided the posse
across into Lexington county as far
as the Saluda river where he had car
ried Wesley Hill.
1t is understood that the posse then
divided, part remaining in Lexington
and the rest going to Columbia. Al
though Deputy Sheriff Reid took Joe
and Charlie to Laurens Wednesday
morning, the other members of the
party remained in Columbia.
The late W. R. Bryson, who was
shot Saturday at his farm near Mount
vile, was about 35 years old. He had
a wide family connection in Laurens
county. He left a wife and two chill
dren.
According to the report from Laur-
ems, Mr.. Bryson had ordered the ne
gro Wesley Hill, to stay off his place.
Saturday he saw the negro on his land
and followed him down the road. A
short while after four shots were
heard. A negro boy found Mr.. Bry-
sons body lying in the road. Suspi-
cion at once fell on Wesley Hill, and
the search for him was begun Satur-
day night.
