GOVERNOR OVERRULES
PRISON COMMISSION

Atlanta, Jan. Gov. Slaton
declined today to approve the re-
commentator of the state Prison
Commission for the parole of
Roger Mccall, convicted of muir
der in the Superior Court of Bibb
county two years ago. The
prisoner is a white man, over 70
years old, and the recommended
ton Of the commission was un-
animous. While intoxicated in
November, 1913, he shot and Kill
led his wife without provocation
and was given a life sentence.
The Governor, in refusing the
parole, says, Il think true
clemency was shown in render
ing this verdict. Drunkenness
cannot be recognized as a de-
tense. This defendant has only
served two years for taking a
human life, while hundreds are
in the penitentiary for many
times as long for taking an article
worth less than 500. Surely
this cannot be justice or sound
public policy"

Rich Don't Seem

Atlanta, January 8. -Although
the inheritance tax law is now
theoretically at work, and all
ordinaries have received instruc-
tons to see that it is carried out,
no inheritance money has yet
found it's way into the states

1t will soon be piling in by the
hundreds every month, however,
and there is a good deal of inter-

1t will be recalled that the law,
which was passed by the legis-

1t Deadens the Brain and Weakens the
Body. Nature Needs Real and
Harmless aid to Overcome it.

Nature does her best to fight
constipation and it's evil effects.
She fights to the last atom of
her strength, but usually she
has to have assistance.
To avoid the sluggish brain
and weakened body, the sick
headache. coated tongue and bill

pleasant calomel, medicine so
strong that it leaves most peo-
pie all knocked out" Don't

noF;s Political c:hdidAtes.

That Senator John H McLan-
rim of Marlboro. and Representa-
tive N. w. Hardin of Cherokee,
will align forces and rum for
governor and lieutenant gov
ernor respectively, was informa-
ton given out from authoritative
sources late Saturday.
Senator McLaurin definitely
announced his candidacy to sue
ceed Governor Blease, but Repre-
sentative Hardin made no an
nouncement. 1t is known, how
ever. that this proposal has met
his approval. Both men are now
intimate friends, both agree in
matters political. AS regards
their affiliation with the political
factions of this State, it is
generally conceded now that the
Senator and Governor Blease
have reached something closely
approaching an agreement, and
the stand of Representative Har-
din in the lower house has al
ways been clearly aligned with
the wishes of the administration.

Mexican Situation Grave.

President Wilson Tuesday re-
vealed to those who discussed
Mexican affairs with him that he
fully realized the gravity of the
situation resulting from the kill
ing of William S. Benton, the
British subject, the reported
murder of Gustav Bauch and
Clemente Vergara, Americans,
and General Carranza's denial of
the right of the United States to
look after the interests of for
eigners generally in Mexico.
The president spoke deploring-
ly of armed intervention, but at
the same time pointedly referred
to the size and power of a coun-
try like the United States as be-
ing sufficient to warrant for a
calm and patient course while
compliance with the American
demands was being sought.

sible thing to do, as soon as you feel
run down and worn out, no matter what
the cause, is to take something just as

Council Bluffs Jan. 15.--Mysterious
want ads that were sent to The Nom
pareil during the course of the fall. and
a few of which were published before
the management of the paper became
suspicious of them, seem to have a
connection with the mysterious tragery
that has been puzzling the authorities
at Des Moines. Colfax Springs and
Kansas City during the past few
weeks.
One of the puzzling features OF the
Des Moines case is the publication OF

classified columns of Des Moines and
Chicago papers, establishing means
of communication between John" and
"May'-and it is believed by the
authorities there that the May OF the
want ads is none other than the mys-
terious May who wrote Prosecuting

murder case if promised immunity, and
who disappeared from sight before the

Mt. Pleasant, Jan. 15.-Wednesday.
Isaac Cook. aged 1O2 years, and con-
sidered to be the Oldest man in this
section Of the state, died at his home
near Salem. twelve miles southwest Of
this city. Mr.. Cook celebrated his
1920 birthday last October. He was
born in Maryland Oct. %. 1911. When
he was young man he located in In
diana, and from there he moved to this
county in 1855. living in that commun-
!ty ever since. Until last year he was
hale and hearty and considered to be
in the best OF health when he fell and
broke his arm. It is thought that his
death was caused more from the shock
sustained from this injury than from
cid age. He leaves six sons and two
daughters, twenty-eight grandchildren
and eleven great grandchildren and one
great grandchild.
