Manager Shupp of the Anti-Saloon
League denies that Superintendent
Jones Of tht League has gone to South
east Missouri in the interest of a can
didate for Governor, but says, on the
contrary, that Bro. Jones has gone in
to that section to look after certain
senatorial DISTRICTS" and also ito
program a fight in one of the judicial
circuits" In consideration of all
which we beg to state that Messrs.
Jones and Shupp have no moral right
to program fight" against any can
didate for circuit Judge in this State
simply because the candidate for cir
cult Judge refuses to promise to let
his decisions on the bench be guided
by the managers of the Anti-Saloon
League. When Messrs. Shupp and
Jones undertook to name the nominee
for Governor on the Democratic tick
ct we thought they were going pretty
judicial candidates and seeking to con-
troll, secretly and in advance, the
judgments of courts, it is certainly
time to call halt. The people of
Missouri, we hope, are not yet ready
to substitute star-chamber DEGREES for
government by the Constitution and
laws of the State.
The Republicans are hooting at the
Democratic preparedness program be-
| cause, they say, we do not need men,
munitions and ships any more today
than we did four years ago. The
statement is doubtless true, but it
carries with it no argument whatever
against preparedness. During the
last fifteen years of its rule, the Re-
publican party allowed the military
defenses of the country to fall into a
state of hopeless, helpless inefficiency
The Democrats at Washington, with
all possible speed, are strengthening
the military arm of the government
enough to safeguard our coastline and
protect our borders. In this work the
Democratic party should receive the
hearty support of all patriotic citizens
regardless of party.
The Anti-Saloon League is backing

TICKET SALE OPENS
FOR SUPPER DANCE
FOR GENERAL HOSPITAL
Goodly Number of Reservations
Made on First Day of Sale
Not only the Supper but the
Dance Will Furnish an Attrac-
tive Feature of the Entertain
ment

! Tickets were placed on sale yesterday
| morning for the supper and dance which
will be given at the Augusta House Feb.
% for the benefit of the Augusta Cen
| eral hospital. To Judge from the first
days sale and from the very considerable
number of reservations which have been
made. the financial success of the affair
is certain.
Beginning with this morning. tickets
may be obtained at Bithers' drug store.
Pierce's book store and at the Augusta
House. Reservations of tables can be
made only at the Augusta House.
The price of tickets is 81 for each per
son and this includes supper, as we'll as
dancing.
The announcement that only strictly
limited number can be accommodated
I doubtless accounted for the early rush
of tickets, and while a reasonable num-
Der of choice tables still remain tits ap-
parent now that the limit will be reached
before the day of the dance and that
late Corners cannot be looked out for.
An attractive feature of the dinner
dance, from the viewpoint of those not
strictly IN the dancing SET, is THAT 'tHe
affair will be quite as enjoyable for those
who do not dance as for those who do.
They will not only be able to partake OF
one of Landlord Emersons fine suppers
but can also view the latest opponents
of the terpsichorean art. This, combin-
ed with the newest music, imported from
New York especially for this dance. will
make it an evening of pleasant enter
talnment for dancers and non-dancers
alike.
The committee in charge CT the dance Is
making an especial point of the fact that
a ticket bought for the dinner dance is
contribution toward the Augusta General
hospital whether the person who buys
il is going to attend the affair or not
The fact that already q number of men
and women have dropped in where the
ticket sale was going on, bought one or
more tickets and announced that no res
eryation was necessary. is an Indication
that MANY are taking this way of MAX
ing contribution toward a cause which
has long stood out as one of the most
worthy among all those of Augusta

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood,-that is. blood that is i'm
pure or impoverished, thin and pale
is responsible for more ailments than
anything else.
It affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia: in others, rheuma-
tism: and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
It is responsible for rundown con-
ditions, and is the most common cause
of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today
