NEWS STORIES FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL

ATLANTA, Ga.-Another Georgia
preacher of the mountain country
has been jailed for moonshining. The
Rev. John Mcclure, an itinerant min
lister from Gilmer county, is the oc-
cupant of a cell in Che Fulton county
tower, having been convicted and
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment for running a whiskey block
ade. Mcclure asserts his innocence.
He is not by any means the first
backwoods preacher who has been
in trouble with the revenue authori-
ties, though his case is not like that
of the others. There are existant in
remote mountain corners of Georgia
and Tennessee a type of sturdy, I'M
educated but by no means criminal
mountaineers who believe in all hon
esty that they have a God-given
right to make whiskey if they want
to and that the interference of the
revenue officers amounts to a restric-
ton of their personal liberties. The
Rev. Mr.. Mcclure, however, does not
make this plea. He simply asserts
that he is not guilty.

Female Bandits.

Atlanta, General orders were
issued at police headquarters this
morning to look out for a gang of
highway robbers in which several
women are playing a leading part.
The female bandit, up to now un-
known in Atlanta, has made her ap-
pearance.
During the past four days not less
than half a dozen hold-ups have oc-
Cured in which the victim declared
a pistol was held on him by masked
woman while a man companion went
through his pockets.
The gang. it is declared by the de-
tectives, is composed both of whites
and blacks. They say it is the most
unusual gang of highwaymen that
ever plagued Atlanta, and believe
if the whole crowd can be caught
and convicted it will practically rid
Atlanta of this class of crime; at
least, for the present.
Vague stories of women robbers
have been coming to the ears of the
pylice for a month or more past but
at first they were not given much
c"edence.

DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK
Square Guarantee From the
Tanner Drug Co.

When an article is sold by drug
gist who is willing to give it his per-
sonal guarantee it's a mighty strong
proof of real merit.
That's exactly the case with bod
sons Liver Tone. 1t is a pleasant
tasting vegetable remedy for slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory-Calo-
mel is often uncertain, sometimes
dangerous, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you
out of a days work and maybe send
you to bed.
Tanner Drug Co. sells Dodson' S
Liver Tone and guarantees it. For
you and for. your children it's a good
thing to keep a bottle always in the
house.
Tanner Drug Co. will give you
your money back if you think bod
sons Liver Tone is not worth the
price. Keep your liver working and
your liver will not keep you from
working" is good aviee to go by.

Atlanta, Ga.-Blessed and cursed

but is possessed of the wanderlust,
Robert A. Gossett, a well known At

divorce from his lovely but restless
helpmeet.
He explains that she is incurably
afflicted with the nomadic spirit, and
that no sooner is she settled in one
place than an irresistible desire over
whelms her to be travelling some
where else.
Gossett says he still loves his wife,
but that he simply cannot satisfy her
desire to be always moving, and that
a separation is the only way he sees
out of his difficulty. He brings no
other charges against her; in fact, he
refers to her in the most affectionate
terms.
