high-handed lawlessness, Arthur
Burrage Farwell, president of the
Law and Order League, was ap-
pealed to by labor leaders, and
asked,to get busy.
But he didn't. That wasn't
the. particular kind of lawlessness
he was fighting. His real meat
was the saloonkeeper.
And you can hardly blame Ar
thur for that, because saloon
keepers don't advertise, and it's
easy to get lots of publicity on
fight against them.
If Mayor Harrison understands
municipal politics, he must know
that there is generally some poll
tics back of a vice crusade, and
that some cunning politicians are
getting ready for the next city
election, and preparing to spring
a candidate for mayor.
Doubtless he also understands
that the political preachers will
get the women all stirred up, but
that most of the men will keep
quiet and vote the other way.
When the preachers start a real
crusade against poverty, vice and
crime by attacking the economic
causes, chief among which is
starvation wages, The Day Book
will join hands with them; and
so will a great majority of the |
voters.

Family Benefited
By Wonderful Remedy

There are many little things to
annoy us, under present conditions
of life. The. hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability. We are frequently so
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as we'll.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
like
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
to relieve the strain on the nerves.
Mrs. J. B. Hartsfeld, 80 Corrupt St.,
Atlanta Ca, writes:
ct have on several occasions been
vastly relieved by the use of your med
icines, especially the Anti-Pain Pills,
which I keep constantly on hand for
the use of myself, husband and two
sons. Nothing in the world equals them
as a headache remedy. Often T am
enabled by the use of one Or two OF
the Pills to continue my housework
when otherwise I would be in bed. MY
husband joins me in my praise Of the
Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine.'
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
are relied upon to relieve pain,
nervousness and irritability in thou
sands of households. Of proven
merit after twenty years use, you
can have no on for being longer
without them.

Paint and Not

Paint was never before so bigh as
last year: about 1926 gallon Devoe
and a half-dollar less for trash.
What is trash?
1t looks like paint and pretends to
be paint, but isn't worth painting. 1t
costs painters day's-work to put-on
gallon Of paint, good or bad; and a
painters DAVIS work is S. or 81.
Add that to the price of a gallon.
That is the cost Of a gallon. Devoe is
s5 or S. gallon; and trash half-dol-
lar less.
But Deyoe is all raiut and more too;
you add oil to il; a gallon is or +
quarts of perfect painters pot. But
trash is three-qLarter5, two. Thirds or
half paint; you pay half-dollar less
for nobody y-knows-what-it.is.
10 gallons Devoe is enough for the
average job; it takes Is to 20 gallons
of trash. And the wear same way.
Unfortunately, they look alike when
first put-on.

Issues in South Carolina.

farmers, homes of their own for mill
workers who live in houses belonging
to corporations, money at low interest
rates for farmers, businessiike mar.
keting of the farmers produce. the
good health of the mill workers chill.
dren and the education of every child
in South Oarolina-these are issues in
South Carolina. They al d few other
issues constitute a progressive pro-
gramme for the people.
Who opposes them? Who dares op-
pose them?
There are those in the State satisfied
with conditions as they are. So long
as ambitious politicians may be elect
ed to Office by an electorate in large
part dependent for homes on employ
ers, why should they wish a change?
What improvement in the condition
of the people can possibly improve their
condition?
Not all the politicians and Office
seekers are selfish. Broadminded men
who have at heart the progress and
happiness of the people are still active
in the affairs of the State.
The isues that we haYe enumerated
were discussed last week in the Con-
ference for the Common Good. Poll
ticians did not participate in the Con.
ference and perhaps it is as we'll that
they refrained from permitting their
presence to lend to the Conference
even suspicion of political color.
Nevertheless, the issues of homes,
of health, of schools and of rural credits
are before the people. We shall have
two groups of politicians in South Car
olina. The one will stand for stagna-
tion and tho other will stand for prog
ress.
Politicians who disparaged the Con.
ference and would have choked
it in its inception arrayed themselves
against what the Conference stood for
and worked for; against lands for the
landless, against cheap money and
good markets for the farmer, against
the health of the school children and
against the abolition of the slavery OF

UNFAIR TO
THE DRUGGIST

LILLY O4S - U0404
The Old Joke about nSomethinq Just
az Good" Doesn't Apply to This
Drug Store
You have probably heard dozens of
times the old story that a drug store
was q place to ''get something just as
good" There IS at least one druggist
in the world that you can't say this
about.
It is certain that an inferior article
will never be substituted for a guar
anteed one by The Harmon drug store.
Take for instance a safe, reliable rem
edy for constipation and liver trouble
like Dodson's Liver Tone. This harm
less vegetable liquid has proved 80 sat-
isfactory liver stimulant and reliever
of biliousness, and to entirely take the
place Of calomel without any danger
or restriction of habits or diet, that
there are dozens Of preparations SPRING
ing up with limitations Of it's claims.
But Dodson's Liver Tone is guaran-
teed to do all that is claimed for it, and
if you are not satisfied with it, the
Harmon Drug Go. will hand your
money back with smile. Any per-
son going to this store for bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone will be sure of
getting large bottle of this genuine
remedy in exchange for his half dollar.
