NUGENT DENIES CONFAB
ON STATE TREASURER
Says He Didn't Talk With Mon
ahan and conIon on Subject:

City Counsel James r. Nugent was
somewhat taken back last night mhfn
he read in d local evening paper thar
he had conferred with Sheriff Mcia-
han and Owen F. Conlon relative to
the stand OF the Essex delegation On
the state treasurership.
He branded the article as fs1n-
founded, maliciously misleading ana
absolutely false"
There has been no conferences. ac-
cording to Mr.. Nugent, who says lie
has no intention Of being a parry
to one.
When he was asked by a repre-
sentative of the Star to verify The
article Mr.. Nugent was mneh
wrought. He replied that he had not
seen Sheriff Monahan for several
weeks. and that he had not conferred
with Mr.. Conlon in years. Asked far
his opinion relative to the state
treasurership Mr.. Nugent replied
1T seems incredible to me that even
Governor Wilson could convince the
majority of the Legislators that q
bankrupt would be more desirable Tor
a State treasurer than a banker, I1as-
ticularly when the banker in Queafldn
is one against whose Character. IN
tegrity and ability no word has ever
been spoken" was the reply ~
1T must be understood that in the
appointment of a State treasurer che
personality of the man is not t. Be
considered. It should be- eonsidarz6
purely from standpoint OF ntness.
public policy and business Mr. Nu-
gent continued
Whom win the legislators put ii
charge of the finances OF this great
State2 Edwards. the Acknowledged
success. or Grosscup. the aclxnou.;-
edged failure? Governor Wilson. i.
appears to me, seems to argue thai
Mr. Edwards would (being . banker,
favor particular banks. Now 1ho
would be most apt or most likely IL
tempted to favor special banksY Fhe
man Edwards who has no need ~
curry favor. or Mr.. Groascup usin
has thousands of dollars worth Q.
debts to pay and hence is IN absolute
need of favor from banks or moniea

WHEN YOUR LIVER GOES WRONG

Nearly Everybody Needs a Liver Slim
uIant at One Time or Another.
Nearly everybody now and then is
annoyed with a sluggish, lazy liver or
by constipation or by biiousness.
1t is for this reason that Dodson' s
Liver Tone is such good medicine to
keep always in the house.
Either children or grown-ups can
take Dodson's Liver Tone without bad
after-elfects and without restriction of
habit or diet 1t is a vegetable liquid
with pleasant taste, but reliever of
constipation and liver troubles, and en-
tireIy takes the place of calomel.
S. L. Raines guarantees every bottle
Of DodsOn's Liver Tone he sells. 1t
costs so cents per bottle and if you are
not satisfied that it is worth the money
he will hand your half dollar back to
with a smile.
Don't be fooled by preparations imi-
tating the claims of Dodson's Liver
Tone. Just remember S. L. Raines
will give you back your money if bod
sons Liver Tone fails you. That is a
guarantee that guarantees. adv

SOFT JOB FOR YERGER

Jackson, July Is. Lawrence Yerger,
1efaulting secretary of the penitentiary
board Of trustees, commenced his ten
year term of penal servitude this morn.
ing.
Yerger has been installed as commits
sary clerk at the Belmont convict farm,
in Holmes county. This is the most
secluded plantation owned by the state,
and for several years has been under
the management of Sergeant R. Z.
Walt, who is gener"'Dy recognized as
one of the ablest farmers employed by
the prison management.
In ordering Yerger sent to the Bel
mont place, Supt. Gathings had in mind
the fact that the former prison secre-
tary never performed a days manual
labor in his life, and would therefore
be of no value whatever as field hand,
Also, Yerger is not physically strong,
being of very slight physique, and it is
doubtful whether he could pick twenty
five pounds of cotton in an entire day.
Heretofore the state has been paying
$40 per month for commissary clerk
at Belmont, and Supt. Gathings be.
lieves that Yerger will prove very
Efficient man for the place.
