"Speeditis."

Recorder Broyles of Atlanta has
discovered new disease and cure
for it at the same time. 1t is speed
it's" and the only remedy for it is
the extraction of "kale," commonly
known as long green" from the af-
fiicted, according to one of the At
lanta papers. The price of one dose
is $25.75,and a second application is
rarely found to be necessary.
Mr. Broyles says that the germ OF
"speeditis" lies dormant in every
one. .butcan be precipitated only after
one purchases or drives an auto. The
disease has reached the epidemic
stage in Atlanta, and as a means of
wiping it out, the Recorder is admin
istering the same treatment to every
body, white and black, rich and poor.
We wonder how many cases of
"speeditis" there are in Edgefeld.
Surely there are signs that the dis
ease is rampant on the square every
day, but what has been done toward
administering to it? We believe that
Recorder Broyles' cure, namely the
extraction of long green, would do
the work.
By the way, how many stop
watches are there in Edgefeld?--

HEALTHY LIVER
Makes BEAUTY.
Famous Actress Finds that a Healthy
Liver Is Necessary 10 uuCd Looks
and YOuthfulGesS.

One of the best known women of
the American stageis writing series
of articles on the preservation of
beauty. She attaches great import
ance to keeping the liver active at
all times, and she is right. Neither
good looks nor happiness will stay
long with any man or woman who
lets the liver get lazy and sluggish.
1t is not always safe to take caIo-
mel, the old liver remedy. Doctors
agree that it is a very uncertain
drug. But DR. w V Brockington has
a remedy for sale that he guaran-
tees to take the place of calomel alb
solutely, and still be harmless, caus-
ing no restriction of habit or diet.
This remedy is Dodson's Liver Tone.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid, but it starts
the liver gently and surely and re-
lieves constipation and biliousness so
promptly that it has become de-
pendable remedy in thousands of
homes in the United States. There
are scores of families in this vicinity
who will not be without it in the
house and who would not think of
starting on trip without bottle
of it.
DR. w V Brockington has sold so
much Dodson's Liver Tone that he
is convinced Of its merit and will
give any person his so cents back
who buys a bottle and does not find
that it takes the place of calomel TO
perfection. adv

ton Greater Than Supply.
Babies are bartered for in Chicago
even before they are brought into
the world by girl mothers; physicians
recommend maternity homes to pros
pective patients and then split the
fees with the management of the
homes; Chicago is a clearing house
for foundlings throughout the Mid

the supply-these were among the
most startling statements made be-
fore the State legislative committee
which is investigating charity homes
and maternity hospitals.
At the conclusion of the hearing.
Chairman Thomas Curran, said:
Dealing in babies is the most
dastardly business existing"
The legislators were told that
mothers, before the birth of a babe,
signed an agreement which ends:
Il promise and declare l will nev-
er see said child, but do release and
abandon it forever"
They were informed that babies
were shipped out of the State when
only a few hours old, and that their
mothers were hired out to nurse the
infants of the wealthy. Superintend-
ents of maternity homes admitted
they kept no records, that once a
child was sent away there was moth
ing by which it could be traced.
But don't you ever inquire how
these babies are treated, whether
they live or die?" inquired Chairman
Curran of DR. Charles S Wood, of the
Union Park Maternity Home.
I'VE keep no records at all"
The testimony brought out the fact
that S5 per cent of the unmarried
patients in the 'lying-in" hospitals
are girls from out of the State who
come to the city to hide their shame.

Wilson Gets First Check.

Woodrow Wilson received his first
pay check as President of the United
States, when Secretary McAdoo pre-
sented him with a treasury warrant
for S5,625, representing his salary
from March a to 81. Or pay days
hereafter, however, the President will
receive $6,25O, a full months pro-
portion of his $75, 900 annual stipend.
The treasury department contem-
plates establishing a precedent in the
method of paying President Wilson.
Since the days of Washington, the
President has been paid by what is
known as an accountable warrant"
which means money to be accounted
for. A settlement warrant" which
closes an account has been given the
President only on his last payday
when his services are debited in
booksIagainst the creditswhich have
been made to him during his term
of office. Mr. Wilson, however, prob
ably will be given a settlement
warrant" each month and his salary
account with the government bal.
anced monthly as his term transpires.
No one today knows why the Presi-
dent'has always been paid by an
accountable warrant, which is is
sued in other cases only in connection
with advanced money.
The President is the only official
whose salary is paid directly by the
treasury department. Vice Presi'
dent Marshall will receive from the
secretary of the Senate the portion
he hassso far earned of his $4,000
annual compensation. Exchange.

VOLS DEFEAT CUBS, AND
Jump" BEATS ZIMMERM MAN

NASHVILLE, TENN, March 26.-The
Vols to / victory over the Chicago Cubs
yesterday was uvcrshadowed by the scrap
pulled off by Heinie Zimmerman and
Umpire Williams in the first inning of
the game when, for once, the rowdy third
sacker got the short end of the purse.
Zimmerman began Grabbing at Williams
after Daley had singled and Summers
had doubled on Pitcher Lew Richie, and
Williams ordered him out of the game.
He applied a vile epithet twice to Will
liams, who is small of stature, and il was
necessary for him to actually leap in the
air as he swung hard for the third base
mans jaw.
AS Zimmerman ducked the vicious wal
op landed solidly on his neck, just be-
low the point of the jaw, and the scrap
by Cub reeled. He came back swinging
both hands wildly, and several players
and officers had hard work separating the
men, though Zimmerman failed to land
haymaker. Both were arrested.
Lavender succeeded Richie on the
mound and was good for one run. Bar
rett, a recruit, pitched grand ball. A be-
lated rally by the Cubs against the In
dian, Choteau, robbed the Vols of a de-
served shut-out. He allowed one run on a
walk, followed by two singles The Vols
scored their tallies on punched hits.

Tommy. as all the bugs know,

The owners Of the team have
said their last word to him, and sit
back in comfort, waiting for some

worrying whether Tommy signs or
not. and there is good reason for
them to feel so complaCent
Tommy was purchased from the
New York Yankees at the highest
price ever paid for a ball player in
this league, $500. If he refuses to
sign his contract and report he will
revert to the Yankees, under base
ball law, which would mean that
the owners Of the New York
Americans would have to turn over
to the Hustlers either $500 in
cash, or some valuable baseball
merchandise. If the two clubs

The fact that Mcmillan had not
made much of an impression in his
stay in New York helped to put
through the deal. Tommy, while a
star in this league, can not hit in
the big show. That is about all
there is to that
with New York. Mcmillan re-
ceived a contract OF $500 a month.
When he was turned back to RoCh-

SCHEDULE ONE
FINE M|XED-UP
YOUNG AFFAIR

y CHATTANOOGA, March 26.-
There are serious defects in
the Southern league sched-
ule which was adopted here at the
spring meeting. Drafts of the
schedule have been received by
President Andrews, as chairman of
the committee, and these show that
New Orleans is slated to play 143
games, Montgomery 144 games and
Memphis 141 games. All the re-
naming teams are scheduled for
but 40, which is the correct num-
Der.
The trouble lies in the fact that
New Orleans and Montgomery play
% games with each other and
Montgomery and Memphis q
games, when they should play but
20.
The schedule will probably be
corrected in the next few days and
corrected copies issued by Presi-
dent Kavanaugh.
