ThedfOrd's ack-Draught.

McDuff, Va.-'T suffered for several
years." says Mrs. ]. B. Whitaker, OF
.hIs place, with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thediord's Black-Draught, which | did,
and found it to be the best family medi-
cine for young and old.
| keep Black Draught on hand all the
time now, and when my children feel a
little bad, they ask me for d dose, and ii
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught."
Thedf9rd's Black Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu-
late weak stomachs, AID digestion, re-
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and Similar
symptoms.
1t has been in constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than d million people.

Black-Draught. Price only 25c. Get a

manganese peptonates, and glycero-

SAME TROUBLE HERE.

Another South Georgia city is wor-
rying about the auditorium problem.
Here's what the Valdosta Times has
to say:
Valdosta ought to solve the
auditorium problem. The boil wee
vii convention should convence us
of the folly of trying to have big
gatherings here until we get some
place for them to hold their meet
ings.
The same statement Is appropros
Americas. The greatest single need OF
this city at the present time is a
spacious and modern auditorium-to
care for the many conventions, meet
ings and on the off-dates, arrange to
have high class shows and opera com
panies visit the city: The public will
patronize the house-which we need.

THE FOREIGN CONTRACT

That was an unexpected thrill which
was given American products by the
action of Secretary of Navy Daniels In
awarding a contract for 14-tnch and
1C-inch armor- piercing shells to Had
fields, Limited, which is an English
concern. According to the dispatches
at the time the contract was an
nounced the bid of the London manu-
facturers was something like 5000 less
than the bid of American factories.
During the past few days the Beth
lehem Steel Co., has been publishing
advertisements which are semi-attacks
on the government because of alleged
failures on the part of Uncle Sam to
take the products made under contract
for them by the Bethlehem people. In
turn, Secretary Daniels charges in
competency and shells short of the
government specifications. The steel
company says it is impossible to ac-
cede to the requirements of Uncle
Sam.
Now comes an announcement from
the British government that they will
not allow Hadfelds to fill the contract
with Uncle Sam 80 long as the ex-
igencies of war continue" In other
words, 1t is fine for America to furnish
Britain with shells, but John Bull in
turn must be careful of English-made
shells for America. 1t is true that
Uncle Sam is at peace and Britain is
at war.
There must be some misunderstood
iLg for the dispatches report Secretary
Daniels as saying that distinct under
standing existed in view of the con-
tract that there would be no question
Of the right to deliver regardless of
the war situation in Europe. Hadfelds
must have persuaded themselves to
take long chance with the hope of
currying the favor of British submits
SIGN after the contract was secured.
From the best information obtainable
it was a deserved rebuke for the
Bethlehem people to have the shell
contract given to foreign concern. If
London factory can fulfill the re-
quirements of the United States gov
eminent in shell making-at a price
about 5000 less than the American bid,
! then something must be wrong with
the shell makers at home. And this
wrong must exist-for at present the
navy department has an appropriation
Of $1,5OO,OOO at their disposal for the
erection of a government projectile
factory.
This is an example of the many in
stances where the government and the
people as whole have suffered
through the gluttonness graft of Amer
lean concerns. The horrors of the
Spanish war with the graft
ing contracts are luridly brought to
mind.
1t is a distinct feature of the Wilson
administration that the government
has been attempting to free itself from
the manacles of private control of the
affairs of state.
Bethlehem steel only recently cut a
large "melon"-all made through the
prosperity of America. Still, this fac
tory doesn't seem to be in the humor
to deliver a good quality of product to
tie government itself.

Mr.. Jules Olivier, the merchant
planter of LYDIA station, has given
material evidence of his progress
siveness by recent improvements
put in upon his premises His
store and his home are now light
ed by electricity. Recently, he
installed a gasoline engine. which
Is harnessed 10 dynamo. A
storage battery system adds to the
Reliability of the lighting plant.
Iu the daytime the engine ruDs a
corn mill, grinding mill for his
store trade, as we'll as q feed chop;
ping mill, which converts corn,
cob, and shucks into a we'll bal
ance ration for stock. This he
makes use of in the feeding of the
stock on his own farm. Such
planters as Mr.. Olivier are worth
great deal to the communities in
which they live. They are ready
to risk little money IN order to
find the way of tightening the load
and lighting the way through life.
Others seeing their example profit
by their experience.

In an address before the Press

asked their co operation IN educat

lines suggested. One was the re-
VISION Of the widows dowry act

was q plan by which farmers of
