No SUMMONS HAVE YET BEEN ISSUED
GEO. TURPIN VISITS DAWSON.
Is the Man Who Shipped Bale of
Cotton to Senator Hoke Smith.

Mr.. George B. Turpin of Richland
was in Dawson Saturday. Mr.. Tur-
pin has been in the limelight consid-
erably of late by reason of the fact
that he shipped to Senator Hoke
Smith at Washington bale of cot
ton and drew on him for it at II
cents a pound, and at the same time
wrote Senator Smith letter stating
that he was relying on his statement
during the campaign that the farm
ers would get that price for the sta
pie by reason of the measures he was
advocating and the aid that would be
extended by the government. Later
he wrote Congressman Crisp that
should the draft not be honored to
auction the bale on the floor Of the
house of representatives to the high
est bidder.
The bale of cotton has not reached
Washington yet, and what will be-
come of it there no one knows. Sena-
tor Smith is quoted as saying he pre-
sumes that Mr.. Turpin has enough
money to pay the freight on it back
to Georgia.

REMEMBER YOUR LAST
DOSE OF CALOMEL

You probably recall the bad after
effects of the calomel more than the
sickness YOU took it for. You need
never again go through with beng
"alI knocked out for a day or two
by calomel."
Next time your liver gets sluggish
and inactive We urge that you go to
Tanner Drug Co. for a bottle Of bod
sons Liver Tone, a splendid Yegeta-
BILE liquid medicine that will start
YOUR liver as surely as calOmel ever
did and with none of the after-effects
of caIomel. II is absolutely harmless
both to children and adults and de-
mands no restriction of habits or
diet.
A large bottle Of DOdson's Liver
Tone costs only so cents and the
druggists who sell it guarantee il to
take the place of calOmel, and viii
refund your money if it fails in your
case or if you are not satisfied.

been tried for fraud, is in turn pros
ecuting some of those who entered
charges against him. At the conclu-

been arrested and was being carried
to jail at Leesburg. Two other war
rants, it is said, have been sworn
out against Black by Oliver. IS
Oliver announced that he was not
ready for the hearing, as he had
been in jail and had been too busy
with the preparation of his defense in
regard to the other charges that had
been brought. He asked for a week S
postponement of the hearing. This
the attorneys for Black objected to,
but the hearing was continued, and
Black released under 500 bond.
divers Calm Spirit Rufied.
There was one time when divers
beautifully calm spirit was ruff1ed
during the hearing Friday. Not ev-
eryone in the court room was aware
of the incident that showed when
Oliver lost his temper, for probably
only a few who were seated very
close to the man really heard what
he said.
1t was during the terrific arraign-
ment of Oliver made by Attorney H.
A. Wilkinson, of Dawson, who was
arguing the evidence in the case in
behalf of those who were prosecuting
Oliver. Mr.. Wilkinson had fairly
fayed Oliver, telling of the prisoner Is
recklessness in Incorporating
money and undermining everything
that supported the social fabric.
Attorneys Arrangement.
Now think of it," roared the at
torney in most vociferous manner
this man, a former convict, who
worked on your roads-who has
gone abroad throughout your county
deceiving and defrauding the very
youth of your section-what kind OF
man is he?"
I'm as good as you are Missed
Oliver under his breath, it is said, as
his brow furrowed with hate and his
face took on the look of wild ami
NAL at bay, The attorney looked
steadily at Oliver for a minute or
two. while divers attorneys tugged
at their clients coat sleeves and
warned him against further talk az
the lawyer. The prosecuting attorney
continued his fierce attack on Oliver,
but the prisoner did not again show
that the words had cut him.

TIED TWO TRACK
HOUNDS TO A TREE
ESCAPED CONVICT THEN TOOK
THE COUNTY'S OTHER DOG
ALONG WITH HIM.
He AND MAN-RUNNERS FRIENDS

John Henry Owen Left the Road
Gang Early Wednesday Morning,
and Is Still at Large. Time Would
Soon Have Been Out.
John Henry Owen, one of the
county's bunch of zebras is at large.
John Henry took his departure
carly Wednesday morning just as the
gang reached their work at Clark's
mill from the camp short distance
away. Without the least intimation
of his intentions he made dash for
liberty. and though wearing double
shackles succeeded in disappear
ing in the woods and Guiding his
pursuers.
AS soon as possible the county's
three track dogs were put on his
trail. but John Henry had antici-
mated this and prepared before hand
TO meet that possible barrier to his
successful escape. That the dogs
and John Henry were on intimate
terms is proven by the fact that dur
ing the day two of them were found
tied to a tree with the fleeing con-
yict's sweat rag, a large piece of cloth
that is given each inmate of the
chaingang with which to wipe the
perspiration from his face as he tolls
with pick and shovel The other
hound John Henry took with him as
a companion in his travels. This
dog was recovered the next day at a
plantation beyond Cordray's mill,
where John Henry spent the night
and was making himself at home un-
til he became alarmed at the ap-
proach of an automobile and hur-
riedly departed.
The escaped convict was serving
a misdemeanOr sentence, which he
would have finished in month or
two. He was wanted, however, in
Randolph county on a charge of bur-
glary, and would have been deliver
ed to the officers there at the eXpi-
ration of his term here.
An escaped convict from the Ter
rell county gang usually does not re-
main out long.

The boys father had a small
clothing store on the plaza, ANA
he and his wife and Jesus, their
only child, lived I'm the rooms over
the shop.
When the firing began, that
first morning, Estrada, the cloth
Ter, rushed into the street.
The plaza was crowded, and, an
the firing grew louder, the peo-
Pile ran aimlessly hither and thith-

keep his little family together as
they were carried this way and
that by the panic-stricken mob.

MILLS NOW
LOOKS SURE
PETITIONS ARE FILED
Result of Clerks Couat VII lie
known "Wednesday.
81 More Names ON Petitions Than
Required by Law.

The recall Of Commissioner
Mills Is still possible.
Revised unofficial figures of

ed that, even allowing the with
drawals and supplemental peti-
tions that have entered into the
recall In the last few days. there
are 81 more names ON the petiti-
tions than are necessary to call
a recall election.
Secretary II. E. Durant of the
recall committee officially took
charge of the petitions today from
the registration clerk, and inn
mediately filed them again with
City Clerk Nickeus. The pro-
ceeding was merely part of the
red tape" of the recall law. No

but Nickeus is given five days Ia
which to start making his official
count of the valid signatures ON

with those kept by Mills attor-
neys, there are 5,61S valid sigma
lures on the recall petitions
There are 81 signatures to be
withdrawn. and 81 signatures on
the supplementary petitions to be
added. This will leave ASS
valid signatures, and according
to law, only 4,527 signatures are
needed.
The 4,527 signatures needed
are IS per cent of the S,1O7, the
number of votes cast at the 1912

Rev. T.. g. w. Stoever, pastor
of the English Lutheran church,

recent mayoralty fight, and who
refused positively TO make ANY
campaign statements of his stanu
ON the social evil question, came
out firmly i'm favor of a restricted

Rev. Stoever responded to the
subject of The Relation of thu.
Pulpit to the Evils of the Day. ,"
at the Pacific synod of Evangeif-
cal Lutheran churches.
The social evil is something
we must contend with" said the
minister, and IL is by a segre-
gated district that this evil may
be best regulated.
The Tacoma minister-candf-
dates remarks drew upon him the
criticism of most of the gathered
ministers, who retaliated with al
dresses denouncing restricted dis
tricts and demanding the aboll-
tion of the social evil.
Throughout Rev. Showers cam
paign for the office of mayor ne
refused to tell where he stood ON
the vice question, although it was
rumored at that time that he fav-
ored restricted districts.
