as the state could properly reassert
its authority" and continues:
I'VE believe that the state is now
in that position and we agree with
you that you cannot, in fairness to the
president, plead longer for federal
aid, much as the same might be de-
sired. You should, therefore prepare
to accept for the people of this state

After urging the governor to at once
advise the people of the state that

DUMA MEMBERS
IN RUSSIAN PLOT
Five Are Found by Police at Al
legged Revolutionary Meet
ing Held Near Petrograd.

Petrograd, via London, Nov. o.
The police have discovered a revolu-
tionary plot in which several mem
bers of the duma are inculpated, &C
cording to a semi-official statement
4 number of arrests have been made.
The semi-oficial announcement says:
AT the beginning OF the war most
OF the Russian people, conscious of
the necessity of defending the dignity
and integrity OF the fatherland, were
unanimous in assisting the authori-
ties in the accomplishment of the
tasks incurred by the operations of
war.
An altogether different attitude was
observed by some members of the
social democratic associations who
continued an activity aiming at
the downfall Of Russia's military
power by means OF an anti-war agi-
tation. the distributing of secret proc
lamations and the conducting OF prop
uganda by word of mouth.
THE government in October last
learned of a plan to convoke a secret
conference of delegates of the social
democratic organization to discuss
measures aiming at the ruin of the
Russian state and the speedy realiza-
tion of revolutionary plans.
Nov. II the police discovered that
a meeting of the said conference was
to be held in a house in Viborg road.
eight miles from Petrograd- a detach-
ment of police arrived on the scene
and found there II persons. including
the following members of the duma:
Petrovsky, Badaystff, Mouranoff,
Samiloff and Chagoff.
There being no doubt as to the
anti-government object of the confer
ence the members of the meeting were
arrested after a search. with the ex-
ception of the members of the duma,
who were released
IAN examining magistrate was in
trusted with the inquiry and immedi-
ately opened an investigation. Hav-
ing examined the documents seized in
the raid the magistrate drafted an in
dictment against all the members of
the conference. under article 102 of
the penal code, and issued warrants for
their arrest"

steadily increasing growth in popu-
lation, industrial development and
wealth of the territory served, a
development largely due to the &C
tivlties Of Southern Railway Com
pany in promoting the commerce
and industry along its lines.
In surrendering our trust. we do
so with confidence that the territory
served by the Southern Railway
Company will continue to increase
in population, industry and wealth
and that the Company will share
in such prosp rity. From a dis
jolnted collection of incomplete
single track line the system will
have been developed into an eff
cient double tracked trunk line for
the entire main line from Washing
ton to Atlanta, with adeqvate shops
and terminals at the principal cities
Of the entire territory served by the
Company, all we'll adapted to mees
the requirements Of the prOspe1out
and growing communities which
Southern Railway Company serves.
We commend, therefore, to the
stockholders the continuance Of the
policy of progressive betterment
which has been constantly urged
by the MANAGEMENT since the Or
ganizat of the Company. and to
that end that there shall be liberal
provision of new cepital. It is the
true policy Of the Company to lead
rather than to follow, in the future
development Of the South, and
to maintain its reputation and its
past achievements in such leader

BRAINS D(JLLED ~
CONSTIPATION
some PEOPLE ONLY HALF ALIVE.
DODSON'S LIVER TONE CLEANS
YOU OUT and Wakes
YOU UP.

When constipation is having its
evil effects on your body and brain,
Nature is doing her best to offset
them and overcome the cause itself.
But usually Nature cannot do this
unaided.
In the past many suffers at such
a time used to turn to DANGEROUS
calomel in hope of relief. For some
people calomel does appear to give
a temporary benefit, but as a mat
ter OF fact it is poison that proves
to be injurious and even DANGEROUS
to many. If you have ever taken
calomel you probably have suffered
from evil conditions following it's
use.
But nowadays great numbers of
people have learned how to feel
better, brighter and healthier by
taking Dodson's Liver Tone instead
OF calomel. Indeed, this harmless
vegetable liquid is recommended by
Hoopers Drug Store and by the
Sylvia Pharmacy who will refund
the purchase price to you without
question if you are not completely
satisfied with it.
Get a bottle Of Dodson's Liver
lone for SOC. and learn for your
yourself how easily and naturally
it assists Nature in getting rid of
and correcting constipation and
blliousness, how it clears away the
sick headache and coated tongue
and sets you right without ache or
grippe, without any interference
with your regular habits Fine for
the children. They like to take it.
