COUNTY COMMITTEE
URGES DEMOCRATS TO
SUPPORT NOMINEES
Of the Party from President
to Constable-Harmony
Prevails.

The Putnam County Democratic EX-
ecutive Committee met at the court
house at II o'clock Tuesday forenoon
pursuant to a call issued by Chairman
Jos. H. Haughton. Some 20 pre-
cincts were represented. Two pre-
cincts have no committeeman, and six
others failed to appear or send proxy.
Chairman Haughton explained that
the meeting was called in order that
the county committee might endorse
the regular nominees of the democratic
party and put it's stamp of disapproval
on independentism.
Judge J. C. Calhoun addressed the
meeting in conciliatory though
straightforward talk in which he de-
plored the bitterness engendered by
the primaries and the contest which
had resulted He explained that Mr..
Knott was clearly within his rights
as a democrat in making his contest
under the law and now that his nomi-
nation had been certified to the vari-
Gus counties as the regular democrat
ic nominee, it behooved all good DEM
ocrats to accept the result and sup
port the ticket. Judge Calhoun also
paid his respects to independents and
urged the committee to do its utmost
to secure the election of the regular
party nominees.
Judge Calhoun was followed by w.
M. Williams of Pomona and w. A.
Russell of Crescent City, who also
urged the getting together of all fac
tions under the banner of democracy.
A resolution was introduced and
unanimously passed pledging support
to all candidates of the democratic
party from President to Justice Of the
Peace as endorsed by the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee. A reso-
luton condemning the action of inde-
pendents and all democrats who sign
ed the petitions of independents, was
also unanimously passed.
1t should be explained that members
of this committee during the late con-
test have been divided in their views
as to the nominee for governor, but
when the supreme test was made, the
idea was that the question was not
"Knott or Catts," but the survival of
ORGANIZED democracy; that there had
been a legal contest and the high
courts had been called upon to de-
eide by the only test known to the
lava recount of votes-Who was the
nominee of the democratic electors.
: The court had decided that the nomi-
nee for governor was Hon. W. V.
Knott, as also had the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, and there
was but one thing for this committee
! and the democrats of Putnam county
q TO do. and that to support the de-

ladies AUXILIARY
B. OF R. R. AROUSED
Committee Named to Investigate Re-
port That Local Business Men
Oppose Eight-Hour Day.

In order to ascertain whether or
not there is any truth in the report
that certain local business men have
publicly expressed themselves as be-
ing opposed to the granting of the
eight-hour day to the four railroad
brotherhoods, and to other railroad
employees also, members Of the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, in regular session yes
terday afternoon, named a committee
to investigate and make a report at a
future meeting of the auxiliary.
Officers and members of the auxili-
airy were averse to discussing the mat
ter, although it was admitted that the
organization had been informed such
statements had been made, and that a
committee had been appointed to look
into the matter and see if the reports
are true. What action, if any, the
auxiliary may take, in the event the
reports are verified, would not be sug-
gested by any of the members of the
auxiliary.
A special meeting of the central
trades council has been called for to-
night, the purpose of which would not
be divulged by officers of the council
It could not be learned if this special
meeting has any bearing on the mat
ter in which action was taken by the

HEAVY VOTE BEING
POLLED FOR QUEEN

Another official count will be made
this evening by the judges, of the
ballots cast in the contest to select a
queen for the big statewide Labor
Day celebration to be held in this city,
and the indications are again strong
that there will be noted a heavy in
crease in the number Of ballots cast.
Business has picked up" was the
terse remark of one Of the members
of the contest committee, who is in
close touch with all the dozen active
candidates, and who gets many an
FEARFUL of information from each of
the contestants, day after day
The contestants themselves, and
their many friends, are not overlook
ing any opportunities, but are prevail
ing upon every friend and acquaint-
ance to "get the votes" with each cash
purchase, and these votes are there
fore being demanded and issued in
large numbers.
Again there is talk of dark horse"
but so far as can be ascertained there
appears nothing but talk behind it.
None of the candidates is saying much
about her own race, except in a gen
eral way to the effect that she is
running WE'LL" and if there is a clark
horse" in the race, the Identify is yet
to be established.
Preparing For Celebration.
In the meantime, the Labor Day
committee of the central trades coun-
Gil is not devoting all its time and at
| tention to the queen contest. The big
celebration is being advertised all
over the state, and particularly is the
advertising being done in thorough
manner in the south, southeast, east
and central portions Of the state,
whence the greater portion Of the big
crowds is expected to come.
Dodgers and posters have been sent
to every town, village, hamlet, cross
roads and plantation store, where all
who gather or pass may read of the
big doings to be enjoyed here in con-
nection with Labor Day. Will Kava-
naugh, representative of the carnival
company, announces that several of
the shows of the carnival have al
ready bgeun preparations for the
entertainment here, and that the
carnival will put on here, for the first
time in Pine Bluff, the big and al

cesful features.

Fordyce, Argenta, McGehee, and other
cities and towns in the state have mott
fled the local central trades council
that they will send big delegations,
and there will be several brass bands
to come also, from nearby points.

CAL0MEL TODAY.
SICK TOMORROW
Dose Of Nasty Calomel Makes You
Sick and You Lose a Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes int
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just GO
to your druggist and get 50-cent bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which Is
harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you. while id
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you viii
wake up feeling great, full Of ambi-
ton and ready for work or play. It's
harmless, pleasant and safe to give tc
children; they like it.

Orange and lemon juice may be
added to butter to give it very desir-
able sandwich flavors. Either of
these buffers is good for mayonnaise
and lettuce sandwiches. And orange
butter is delicious for afternoon tea

and figs or any other sweet filling.
The grated orange rind, too, may be
