gerous. Dodson's Liver Tone,
Mild Medicine, Takes Its Place.
The use Of calomel has been stopped
in thousands of homes. Dodson's Liver
Tone, pleasant, vegetable liver tonic
that is perfect substitute for calomel
in curing constipation and biliousness,
is taken instead. Dodson's Liyer-Tone
is absolutely harmless and its use is not
followed by nausea and another attack
Of constipation as often happens after
taking calomel.
S. L. Raines drug store has sold SO
much Dodson's Liver-Tone and it has
been SO satisfactory wherever taken,
that he guarantees to give anyone their
money back if he does not find it per-
feet substitute for calomel. No restric-
ton of habits or diet is necessary.

SHOT IN The FACE.

On Friday evening of last week,
behind The scenes on the stage at
the Ejks Theatr Austin, the ten
year old son of Judge Chas A.
O'Niell, Of Franklin was shot IN
the face with a blank cartridge by
Sterling Ostenheimer. The Weap-
on was held with its muzzle quite
close to the little fellows face
when it was discharged. The
force of the blast tore an ugly
hole in Austin's left cheek and
filled the surrounding flesh clear
up to his eye lids with partially
burnt powder.
The little victim Of thought
less boys play was picked up ana
carried over to Mr.. } n ThibO-
deaux's drug store, where he was
placed on a lounge and a physician
summoned DR.. Shaw was the
first to respond to the call and
took the patient IN charge. After
an examination it was, found that
the laceration of the cheek dId
not extend through into the
mouth. The left side of the
tongue was considerably powder
marked, indicating that the mouth
must have been open at the mo-
ment.
That evening a party of young
people from Franklin were here
for the purpose of staging a
drama, depicting Western life, Ell
titled The Ranchman,' for the
benefit OF the flood sufferers. Be
fore the hour for the raising of the
curtain the two boys were on the
stage Sterling came across tht
revolver, II calibre, intended fol
use in the play, and playfully

With all of his suffering the lit

Baseball Scouts
 Get Big Salaries
Major League Teams Bid BriSkIy For Men Who Look up
 Young Players

Baseball scouting has become such an important factor in the big game that the major league magnates have begun to bid for the. services of the desirable scouts, just as they would for promising minor, league players. The Cleveland Club, which has prob than any of its rivals. started the strife by inducing George Huff to de sert the Chicago Cubs, for whom he had secuted for several years. Huff is considered one of the best judges of youngsters in the country. In ad- dition, Cleveland retains of its 1911 staff of scouts, Sam Kennedy, who secuted for the Athletics prior to join ing the Maps. Somers also wanted Bill Armour, late president of the To ledo Club, but Bresnahan of the St. Louis Cardinals, raised Somers' offer and landed the man who is rated as one of the best discoverers of talent in the country.
 Cleveland released Bobby Gilks, but it did not take the veteran long to catch on, as Jimmy McAleer grabbed him for the Boston Red Sox.
 There will be much shifting abou+ by the scouts this winter. Bresna han has tied the tinware on his former sleuths and engaged Armour and Dick Kinsella. Patsy Donovan gets hds old job back with the Red Sox while Fred Lake quits the St Louis Brown az ager of the Providence Club. The New York Giants also lost a scout in Mike Finn, who has been engaged as manager by the Mobile Club.
 Arthur Irwin, however, will stick to the Yankees, while Connie Mack will continue to rely upon Tom O'Brien formerly of the Maps, and Al Maul the oId-time pitcher. BI'y Murray will remain head scout of the Pirates, while Con Strouthers will look after Comiskey's interests in the minor lea gues. Comiskey. like Somers and Mack also has a host of agents throughoUt the cOJTnfT-V whose tins on. Detroit has Bobby Lowe and sev- eral others. Heine Peitz has been en- gagged by Cincinnati.

ATHLETICS SENDING OUT
 MANY BASEBALL LEADERS

Detroit, Jan. 27-Harry Davis and Topsy Hartsel, two men who aided championships for Philadelphia Ath- letics, will manage clubs this sea son.
 Within ten years the Athletics of 1910 and 1911 may be looked upon as the old Baltimore Orioles area col Iege for managers.
 From that Oriole crowd came Jen- nings and McGraw and a number of others whose success was not as pro- nounced as that of the aggressive ''AIuggsy'' and the red-headed Hughie.
 The play CTS of the Oriole team who later became managers carried with them the spirit of the Baltimore club. Jennings and McGraw have taught their men the same fighting spirit that the Orioles. And as Jennings and McGraw were aggressive scrappers so are Davis and Hartsel disciples of a creed directly opposite.
 from the drop of the hat; Mack is peaceful, reserved and a diplomat at all times. The pupils of Mack will carry the same plan of baseball cam Guillicuddy has chosen to follow all these years.
 Davis is quiet and reserved; so is Hartsel. Davis will manage CIeve- land next year; HartseI will head To ledo. Both are brainy ballplayers, among the brainiest the game has known, and they possess the know1- edge of strategy and battle charts that Mack has used in his great campaign
 Davis, as captain of the Athletics, served also as an assistant manager, and helped Mack direct the attack and defense of the Athletics. Hartsel was always chief scout Hartsel has the signal-grabbing system developed to fine point, and he is one of the trickiest players who ever laced on a spil1ed shoe.
 While he was in the American lea que Hartsel was the king of lead off men. He was the hardest man in the league to pitch to.
 Mack has others on his team who will some day be manager
 Eddie Collins and Jack Coombs. two of the brainiest men in the game, will make ideal mana gers and will un doubtedly be seen al the head of ball clubs in the major leagues. The same goes for Eddie Plank
