are not so partisan that they WOULD
not under any circumstances vote
for citizens other than the nominees
of their own party.
| would appreciate it If at your
earliest convenience you would make
out list of such as would come UNI
der your personal knowledge of such
liberal minded republicans obtaining
mail at your postoffice and mail same
to me.
Thanking you very much for your
favor in this matter,

M. ALEXANDER,
Governor.

McClain Badly Cut;
Frank Jones in Jail.

AS the result of a fight at
Bear Greek school house last
Tuesday evening Mr.. p w d
McCla'n, of the Bay Springs
church community is in the hos
pltal at Hamlet severly wounded
and Mr.. Frank Jones is IN the
county jail facing serious
charge.
The Advertiser representative
was unable to see all parties con-
cerned, out according to the best
lntormatioo he could get, it
seems that the trouble started
on Monday evening when the
Jones boys. riding in a buggy,
drove around and ahead of a
wagon IN which were riding
members of McClain's family.
lhls action, it Is said, frighten-
ed the mule which the McCla1ns
were driving.
The next evening all parties
met at a gathering at the Bear
Greek School house. 1t is SAID
that one of the McClain boys de-
manded an apology of Frank
Jones because Mrs. McClain was
In the wagon when the mule was
frightened. This apology, it is
alleged, was denied. 1t is claimed
by Mr.. Jones that Mr.. L. W. d.
McClain then started trouble and
frank Jones says that the elder
McClain had knocked his father
down and was kicking him in

the face when he came up and in
defence of his father welded his
knife.
Mr.. McClain was taken to the
hospital suffering from three
wounds, one in his chest, one in
the lower left side and one in the
back. The wound IN the lower
left side is very dangerous and
doctors say may prove fatal.
Frank Jones was taken in Gus
tody Wednesday morning by Mr..
j. L. Grant. He is now held
without bond to await the result
of the wounds of Mr. McClain.

WOMEN SUFFERERS
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or tho
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with pain
in the back, headache, loss of ambition,
nervousness and may be despondent and
irritable.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.
KImer's Gwamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, re-
stores health to the kidneys and is just
the remedy needed to overcome such con-
ditions.
Get fifty cent or one dollar bottle inn
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for .
