DRY LAW IS
TOBE FOUGHT
IN COURTSBY
VETS OF MD.

A determined effort to defeat the
Sdry" law enacted at the late ses-
sion Of the Maryland legislature,
which places Prince Georges county
in the desert class Of nonalcoholic
communities, is under way there to-
day.
Prince Georges is the Districts
next door neighbor, and until the
legislature passed the bill which will
close all drinking places there on
November 1 Washington had hoped
to purchase its drinks from the
Maryland community when the Capt.
tai steps into the "dry" column.
Will Refuse to Close.
Headed by q number Of Prince
Georges hotel proprietors and other
property owners, opponents Of the
~dry' measure will refuse to close
their places Of business November 1
and will test the constitutionality Of
the law. They maintain that the Mary
land State government cannot take
from them their licenses unless q re-
fund IL made.
G. W. Cave, proprietor OF the Palo
Alto Hotel, said, "such a procedure
would be robbery"
'Tf had sold to Maryland q piece
Of property, and then, without warn
ing, should unceremoniously take II
back without making a refund, /
would be sent to the penitentiary,"
he added.
Paid Up To May 4, rs.
The Maryland hotel proprietors say
the legislature which passed the dry
bill was called to take up war meas
ures. The bill calls for the closing
Of all saloons and drinking places on
November 1, but makes no provision
for refunding license money.
I'VE have paid for licenses till
May 1, u.s." Mr.. Cave continued,
"and unless a portion OF this money
Is refunded to us, the State cannot
legally close us un. We intend to
fight such q course"
The Maryland opponents Of the bill
say that In Massachusetts, and else

ROBINSON'S CIRCUS
 PL,EASES BIG CROWDS

John Robinson's circus, the oldest in the business, presented mag nificent parade here yesterday morn ing, which was viewed by thousands, and afternoon and night performances attended by great crowds. The at tendance at night was almost double that of the afternoon, and the per formance was equally as good at night.
 Every number on the triplicate pro- gram presented at each performance was treat. Everything that one ex- pected to see in a big circus, was shown, the leapers, tumblers, aero bats, bareback riders, equestriennes. and aerial performers performing feats that were truly marvellous.
 It would be difficult matter to particularize, as every number on the programme was good. During the afternoon one of the eQuestriennes slipped and fell from her horse, and one of the women performing on the trapeze fell, but either suffered any injury, and left with the circus train at midnight.

 TRANSFER BUSINESS

Roy .lM .KemIl, manager of the Riley Auto-Tire company, distributor in this territory of the Federal truck and Troy trailers, brought in from Little Rock yesterday morning two ton Federal truck and two Troy trail CTS, equipped with bodies built espec- ially for hauling cotton.

Kemp in few days, and the big "mogul' machine used by MT. Philpot for several seasons past. Like the "mogul,' the Federal will have it's own hoist, and possesses other fea- lures added at Mr. Philpot's sugges- tiOn.

When So Many Pine Bluff People Are
 Pointing the Way Out.

You may be brave enough to stand backache or headache or dizziness. But, if, in addition the kidneys are disordered, look out! If you don't try to fix your sick kidneys, you may fall into the clutches of dangerous disease before you know it. But, if you live more carefully and help your kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills, you can stop the pains you have an davoid future danger as we'll. Don't experiment. use the remedy Pine Bluff people are publicly endorsing. Read this case:
 Mrs. J. P. Tucker, 1917 B. Seventh street, Pine Bluff, says:
 Some years ago I had severe attack of malaria and for quite awhile after I suffered from kidney disorder. At times my back gave out completely, so that when I was lying or sitting down, I had to have help to get up. There was a constant ache in my back. I had frequent dizzy spells and spots often seemed to float before my eyes. My kidneys showed annoying symp- toms of weakness and my feet and ankles were swollen badly. The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me and after I had used three more I was in good health"
