also that one VINO desired to discour-
age or stop the use of such a strong
drink might very naturally look with
greater favor on the use of a milder
drink as first step towards break
ing up the use of whiskey. let us ex-
anime the writings OF jefferson and
Hamilton and see what their position
was. Their writings show that this
was just the position they took: Nance
iiy. they discouraged as strongly as
they could the use OF whiskey. and JEFF
ferson thought that as a substitute
for whiskey, beer was less harmful
and. therefore. should be favored as
against whiskey.
We do not undertake to state that
this action was wise or that II should
be followed again. for the liquor peo-
pie have so exploited the country that
the same crowd that before made peo-
pie drunk on whiskey. now does it
with equal facility on beer.
These are the statements of Hamil-
ton and jefferson.
In letter to the New York Packet {
dated November 81. 1887. Hamilton
said:
THE single article of ardent
spirits. under Federal regulation,
might he made To furnish a con-
siderable revenue. Upon a ratio
to the importation into this state
tNew York;, the whole quantity
imported into the United States,
at shilling a gallon. would pro-
duce two hundred thousand
pounds That article would well
bear this duty; and 1T WOULD
TEND TO DIMINISH THE
CONSUMPTION OF 1T. SUCH
AN EFFORT WOULD BE
EQUALLY FAVORABLE TO AG-
RICULrURE, TO THE ECON
ONLY, TO THE MORALS AND
TO THE HEALTH OF SOCIETY.
There is, perhaps, nothing so
much the subject of national ex-
travagance as these spirits"
In letter to the New York Packet
Yancy, written in 1915 Writings of
Thomas Jefferson, Ford edition, Vol.
n. p. -, we find this:
There Is before the Assembly
fVirginial a petition of Captain
Miller. which / have at heart,
because / have great esteem for
the petitioner as an honest and
useful man. He is about to settle
in our country, and to establish
brewery. in which art l think
he is as skiliful a man as ever
came to America. / wish to see this
beverage become common in
stead OF the WHISkEY WHICH
KILLS ONE-THIRD OF OUR
CITIZENS AND RUINS THEIR
FAMILIES. He Is staying with
me until he can fix himself. and
I shall be thankful for informa-
ton from time to time of the prog
ress of this petition"
These statements snow how twisted
are the representations of two great
American patriots. made by the liquor
people and published as bona fide ad-
vertising in three Richmond papers
in State which has voted against the
traffic in alcohol.
Note that Hamilton says, without
reference to beer. that dimunition
In the consumption of whiskey would
be equally favorable to agriculture
TO the economy, to the morals, and to
the health of society" while Jefferson
wished to see beer become common. "
not for its own benefit, but instead
of the whiskey which kills one-third
of our citizens and ruins their fami-
lies" The liquor ads always stop In
the middle of Jefferson's sentence
.ff we were In the liquor business we
sSFosaa1 ret consider 'eftsrer' Jefferson
or Hamilton very good friends OF
ours.

What effect the ordinance may have
upon the operation of the jitneys we
cannot tell. Public sympathy Is large
ly with the jitney owners. most of
whom are people of humble means
but the feeling y both general and
natural that there should be reason

ton of the public demands that all

Had PeIlagra Seven Years Thanks God He's Cured

Cowards, s. C.-David G. Pate, of this place, writes: "I am glad to say to you, after waiting forty days, that I still feel like I am cured of pellagra. I had this disease for the last seven years. The fourth day after beginning your medicine I went back to work and have been able to do my work ever since. thank God for your remedy"
 There is no longer any doubt that pel- lagra can be cured. Don't delay until it is too late. It is your duty to consult the resourceful Baughn.
 The symptoms-hands red like sunburn, skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips, throat and tongue flaming red, with much mucus and choking; indigestion and nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
 There is hope; get Baughn's big Free book on Pellagra and learn about the remedy for Pellagra that has at last been found. Address American Compromising Co., box 2OS7, Jasper, Ala, remembering money is refunded in any case where the remedy fails to cure.-Adv.

 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver, which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel crashes into sour bile like dynamite, breaking it up. That's when you feel that awful nausea and cramping.
