WceVil

Wash gtOn, June 5.-Strict game
laws in outhern States for protec-
ton of y. night hawk or bull bat"
whose pr nee in cotton sections is
declared tC of inestimable value as
a check to oil weevil, was recon-
mended in q special bulletin issued
today by the department of agricul-
ture. The night hawk, together with
several sorts of swallows, says the
bulletin, feed on the weevil while on
the wing, while wrens and martins
render valuable service to the farmer
by picking the insects from refuse in
the cotton fields and from the grow.
ing plants.
The department declares the night
hawks value to sportsmen and as
food is intinitesimal compared to the
benefit it renders cotton growers.

WANTS BlElSE DEFEATED,
TILLMAN HAS NOT INDORSED
GOVERNORS AMBITION.
Says States Good Name Will BE
Preserved and Standard of Repre-
sentatiOn Maintained by the Defeat
Of Blease.

Washington, June 4.--Senator Till
man today gave out the following on
the South Carolina political situation.
especially with reference to John l..
acLaurin's letter on the stand of
John g. Richards. Jr., and the gov
ernor:
II have just seen a telegram from
The News and Courier to it's corre-
spondent here saying McLaurin has
made a public statement to this ef-
feet:
~ am glad that Senator Tillman
has reached the conclusion that peace
can only come through the election,
not the defeat Of. Gov. Blease. and
that his candidate. Richards, has de-
clared for Gov. Blease.'
ITO say that i am surprised. very
much surprised, does not express my
feelings. I have not given out any
such utterance. and have not had any
such thought. I am sure that what
ever may be Mr.. Richards attitude,
he will regret ever having declared
for Gov. Blease. Whether peace will
come by Gov. Blease's defeat or not
know the States good name will be
preserved and we will have a better
senator here than II Blease is sent to
Washington.
"Of course McLaurin is swinging
onto Blease's coattail in a desperate
hope that he will thus be pulled
through and elected governor. but as
I predicted some months ago there
Ii no hope for him ever recovering
the confidence of the people OF South
Carolina until he has expiated his
past misdeeds and sins. I am salts.
fed now that IL Senator Smith bears
himself like q man that this open
alliance between Blease and McLaurir
will only help to bury both Of them
Had McLaurin followed my advice
and exposed Bleaseism, It's utter self
ishness. its lack of catholicity of spir.
1t and statesmanship. he would have
stood some chance Of coming back
In the future, for he would have
made atonement for his betrayal oi
the people cf the State. But now there
Is no earthly chance for him, what.
ever Blease does. believe this ALI
ance between the two will cause Gov
Blease to 60 down to defeat more
surely"

rather Unexpectedly. The three meas
ures had been agreed to in commit
tee of the whole" the Rayburn bill,
as amended By the committee, being
completed late today.
When the trade commission bill
came before the house for q final
vote Progressive Leader Murdock
moved that it be sent back to the in
terstate commerce committee with in
structions to report the Murdock bill
as a substitute. This was rejected,
151 to 10, and the pending bill was
passed without a roll call.
Then the votes on the other two
measures wer. taken in rapid sue
cession. Representative White of Ohio
was the only Democrat who voted
against the Clayton bill and all the
Progressives voted for it, except Rep
resentative Chandler of New York.
Forty-three Republicans and IL
Progressives joined the majority in
supporting the measure
Eight Republicans and four Demo-

Barbourville people, especially

low will entitle you to receive free
full size % cent package.
This treatment is entirely differ
cnt from the usual "iuternal' medi-
cines which disturb the digestion
and are especially injurious tU the
delicate stOmachs of children.
1t is the form of a salve that is APP
piled externally over the throat and
chest. In severe cases it is covered
with Il warm flannel cloth. The
heat of the body releases the sooth-
ing, antiseptic vapOrs Of Thymol,
Eucalyptol, Menthol, ETC., which
are inhaled with each breath. At
the same time the preparation is
absorbed through the skin, taking
ont the soreness and tightness.
In cases of Group q little rubbed
over the chest will render the breath
ing easier in five minutes and in If
teen minutes the trouble is over.
| The most severe head or chest colds
are usually relieved in one night
| For all bronchial troubles, tonsilitis,
hoarseness and difficult brt athing
this new treatment will be found
wonderfully effective.
1t is a positive protection against
pneumonia in its earlier stages and
in advanced cases the medicated
vapors inhaled loosen the phlegm
and ease the difficult breathing with
other forms of treatment.
And the best part about IL is that
/ this preparation can be used with
perfect safety on the youngest mem
Der of the family. The full formu-
lac Is given on every wrapper.
None of the druggists have as yet
received their shipments but as the

hle to present your coupon at once
