TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY GAL0MEL
Starts your liver without making you
sick and can not salivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has no.
ticed great falling off in the sale Of
calomel. They all give the same rea-
son. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking
its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
IS perfectly safe and gives better re-
suits" said prominent local druggist.
Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist who
sells it. A large bottle costs 50 cents
and if it fails to give easy relief in ev.
cry case OF liver sluggishness and con.
stipation, you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy harm
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feel
ing fine; no biliousness, sick headache,
acid stomach, or constipated bowels.
1t dosen't grippe, or cause inconven-
fence all the next day like violent cal
omel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak sick and nauseated Don't
lose a days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full

Worlds Food Supply Deficient
J. P. Campbell, Dir. of Ext, State
Col. OF Agri., Athens, Ga.

The following statement by David
Lubin, American Repres entatiye to
the International Institute of Agricul-
ture, is of vital concern to the Ameri-
can people, and Georgia farmers
should do their share to relieve the
tense situation
Associated Press Dispatch.
Rome via Paris, April 5.
For the first time in many years
there exists deficit in the supply of
corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats, esti-
mated at total of 13O,000,0O0 bushels
less than the normal requirements
for countries open to trade The
situation is worse than was expected
last October
Who is going to feed Georgia this
year?
The West has been feeding the
State to the extent of about $S5,000,-
600 per year.
OF war exists with Germany. This
calls for an army of a half million
to million men who must be fed.
The Western supply which has been
coming to Georgia will necessarily be
diverted to feed our army as well as
the army of the Allies
The following statement by Asst.
Secretary Vrooman of the United
States Department Of Agriculture be-
fore the Cattlemen's Association in
Atlanta, Georgia, April 5, is emphatic:
1.-THE most important question con-
fronting us is this: Feeding our CT
william population, our army and navy
and the armies of our allied powers.
Unless the South grows food crops in
ABUNDANCE greater quantities
than this section has grown at any
time in its history, the South-Iike
Germany,-faces starvation
1t may be little late-but not too
late-for the farmers to consider Sc
riously more crops for food and feed
stuffs
The boys and girls should be en-
couraged to join corn, pig, canning,
poultry and other agricultural clubs.
Conserving products raised, es-
pecially by canning and preserving
perishable fruits and vegetables.
Save the breeding stock, as these
will be at a premium, not only during
the interval of the war, but immedi-
ately afterwards.
Help your neighbors to secure
planting seeds and fertilizers
Farmers should undertake to feed,
not only themselves, but their city
neighbors. City folks should buy the
local farmers products in preference
to imports.
This is Patriotic duty as well as
a necessity
We have the authentic information
from the IT, S. Department of Agricul-
ture, that with the western supplies
diverted, there is a possibility of
Georgia suffering from hunger be-
fore Christmas.
Unless we meet the emergency,
Georgia will be weakness to the ma
ton in this war.
1t is also pointed out by President
S,oule that it may be impossible dur
ing the progress of the war to secure
the transportation of cotton to the
eastern markets. Consequently, the
United States could manufacture only
about seven millions bales and the
price of cotton would likely drop to
low rate.

RUSSIA'S FALSE LEADERS.

No longer is it possible to take the
kindly view that the Petrograd coun
Gil of workmen's and soldiers dele
gates is working with the single aim
Of doing what is best for Russia.
If at first the caporings of the
.pacificist of this council recalled the
nmsing reflections of Hermione, tho
latter splenetic attacks upon the
American, French and British allies
OF Russia have recently revealed the
ugly head of German intrigue.
Sheer incompetency might have ex-
planned the frequent statements made
by the council with respect to peace
without annexation or indemnities. :"
Stupidity might have explained the at
titude of the council in stating peace
terms more favorable to Germany thar
airy that Germany had ever suggested
ir her own interest.
But the council of workmen's and
soldiers delegates has now come into
the open with virulent attacks upon
the entry of the United States into the
war, upon the statement of war aims
by America, France and Great Britain
aid upon the suggestion that there
must be victory over autocracy before
there can be any satisfactory basis Of
peace.
The council has not added an iota ID
the efficiency of Russia in the war. 1t
has not brought peace nearer, but has
Put it further off by its pleas for peace
at any price.
Fortunately the outside world is not
deceived by the attitude of the coun-
Gil, nor is there any disposition to &C
cept its attitude as representative o1
the sentiment of the Russian people
The sentiment of the people is oppos-
ed to German intrigue. which is veal
lening Russia in the war. The Rnssia =
people rid themselves of the Roman
offs not to put other weaklings in their
iplace. but to end vacillation and be-
come effective against German autoc-

OUR FEEBLE RESPONSE.

The general failure of the people o.
this section, (as well as others to re-
laIize the fact that the United States Il
at war with Germany and that within
la few months American soldiers will
lbe lying torn and bleeding in No
Mans Land, may be the basic reason
for the comparatively faint and feeble
response made to the appeal of the
Red Cross for funds with which to
carry on its work of relieving human
suffering.
The people of the nation are being
called upon to contribute $100,000,000
for the establishment of Red Cross
hospitals and ambulance units and
the accumulation of vast quantities
of medical supplies for use on the
battlefelds on which the Stars AMI
Stripes are soon to be carried.
Sumter county's share of this fund
has been placed at $4,000 in the APP
portionment which includes every
city and community in the United
States. Every individual citizen is re-
ceiving a personal, urgent appeal to
assist in this merciful task. Other
sections of the country are carrying
their proportionate share of the burd-
en-, if burden it be, and that Sumter
should fall short of fulfilling !
its obligation would be truly regret /,

The noble women who are taking !
the responsibility of canvassing the |
for Red Cross contributions.
deserve not only the courteous treat
ment that every true Southerner &C
cords womanhood, but the heartiest :
cooperation as regards financial sup
port. 1t is unbelievable that some of !
cur citizens have so far forgotten !
their manly qualities as to ridicule or
belittle the efforts of these unselfish
tender hearted women whose only de :. |
sire is to minister to the needs OF
those who will go forth to do battl.
for the principles of justice and lib.
erty,

deprived themselves of necessities in !

ENOUGH OF THE GOLDMAN KIND

Emma Goldman and her man
Berkman, who have finally been ar
rested on a charge of conspiring to
prevent registration, have fiouted and
defied the government until something
more impressive should be done to
them than merely imposing a short
prison term or fine.
1t is high time that these most not
orious of all the anarchists in this
country should be informed for the
period of the war. if not for the per-
iod of their natural lives.
Berkman has been in the limelight
ever since his cold-blooded attempt
to assassinate Henry c. Prick in 1894,
and from the day he came under the
influence of the Russian Delilah has
been disturbing influence in this
country.
The Goldman woman has been ar
rested ten times, as she herself was
proud to boast in New York Thursday
when she was taken in charge, and
has long been recognized as one of the
most dangerous characters in this
country.
She is a typical example of the mar
plots and incendiaries nursed intel
prominence and prosperity under the
free institutions of America which, in
daspicable ingratitude, they seek tpl
destroy. She was born in Russia, un-l
der the most despotic government the
world then knew. and spent her grill
hood until the age of seventeen as a
drudge in Prussia.
Escaping from this servitude she
came to this country, but instead of
rejoicing in new-found liberty and
making the most of her opportunities
like the snake in the fable she bit the
benefactor which had warmed her to
life.
She has no morals and no convic- |
tons of constructive character. She
is against all forms of government, |
and while to the man of intelligence |
her absurd doctrines are worth moth
ing more than smile, she has been
able to exert sinister influence on
weak minds, as when she succeeded
in PEI aading a few unfortunates to
refrain from registering, and hence
got item sent to Jail for THEFT
.recalcritrancy.
Perhaps there is some excuse for
looking with contemptuous indulg
ence on her and her kind in time OF
peace, but in crisis like this there is
no excuse for dallying with treason.
She should be not only kept in close
custody, but should be sent to some
quiet place where she could no longer
court the publicity which has always
been the very breath of her nostrils
And, to tell the truth, Emma Gold
man is not the only defiant traitor
who should be locked up. We might
as well make M our minds that this
is time of war and make a clean
sweep of the cowardly agents of sedi-
tion.-Macon News.
