MEMBERS CONVENTION
 SERVING WITHOUT PAY

The members and employees of the constitutional convention are serving without pay, and have been since ten days ago when the $25 5000 appropria- tion was exhausted Not even the pages or the stenographers are get ting any compensation for their ser vices.
 It is all d matter of patriotism with the remote prospect that the next Legislature will pass a deficiency appropriation bill to take care of the exnenses of the body.
 If the constitution is adopted, and most of the members think it will be. it should be an easy matter to get an appropriation through, but if it is de feated-and some of the members themselves consistently make predic- itons to that effect on the foor-it may not be so easy

BADLY BEATEN
 GERMAN DRIVEN
 NORTH OF VESlE
r,ouv Forced to Retire Bitter M loainst His Will, Says Cor respondent-Piles of Unbur- jed Dead.

1ordon. Aug. 4.-Telegraphing at I ocIock Sunday afternoon, Reuters ,orrosnondent at American headquar- +ors on the Aisne- Marne front says:
 "Tbe salient is gone. The allied troops, French, British and Ameri- cans already are holding the south honl of the Vesle river. Fismes is in flames.
 "The wagons of the retreating German columns can be seen toiling laboriously over the muddy upland roads leading from the river toward the Aisne. Our cavalry patrols have found nothing to report but rear guard screens.
 oTo have thus driven the enemy, hack as he was driven back four years ago is no mean achievement, but we must not over-estimate the possibiii- ties it may disclose, That the enemy has been forced to retire bitterly against his will, is quite obvious. Nevertheless | am prepared to accept General Ludcndorff's statement that the retirement was decided on fifteen days ago after General Petain's blow against the west side of the salient and the Germans can pride themselves on having remained to use Luden- dorff's phrase, masters of the situa- ton That is to say, they have been 9hle to avert the doom they feared which was the collapse of the sides oi the salient and the consequent cap ture by the allies of all the troops within it; and they have been able to withdraw in am orderly manner with out seriou, loss in men or guns, but at a considerable sacrifice of ammuni- tion.
 "To that extent they are masters of the situation-as the bankrupt may be so described who just escaped being sent to prison.
 "The American communication to- day describes the enemy as having been driven in confusion beyond the
 Vesle and one is extremely glad to

Boys Stealing Pineapples

There appeared before the
county court, Tuesday, eight or
ten boys of Arcadia, their ages
ranging from IA to Is years, the
charge against them being the
taking of pineapples from one of
the pineries down at Punta Gorda.
1t seems that the young fellows
secured only about three or four
each, but 40 pineapples out in a
night makes a decided hole in the
profits. This is not the first time
such things have happened, but It
will probably be the last that
these boys do such a thing. At
least it is hoped so. Judge White
hurst gave the boys good lee
ture, and let them off light this
time, with the assurance that it
would not be healthy for them to
break into another pinery and be
brought before the court. He
gave the youngsters fines of So
each and costs of court. 1t would
be wise for parents to know where
their sons and daughters are and
and what they are doing. These
young people did this work about
midnight, when all such chaps
should have been in bed.-Arca-
,dia News, last Thursday.

young reprobates each thirty

The Labor Problem

Concluded from first page)
RODS of greatest need for farm
help.
Prof. G. /. Christie, who taught
in the Alabama agricultural
school at Auburn, and who as as
sistant to the secretary of agricul-
ture represents the department in
farm labor matters, emphasized,
in a talk to the specialists, the i'm
portance of increasing efficiency
in the use of man power. Speak
ing of the thousands Of one mule
farms in the South, he said that
present conditions demand that
all men capable of managing farm
operations should direct larger
working forces of men, mules and
machinery.
Emergency h clip secured
through boys, women and men OF
the cities is of great value" he
said, "but this labor will not
serve in the larger management Oh
the land. Canada, from its CON-
paratively small population, has
sent 100000 of it's best men to the
war, and two of three have been
from the farms. Despite this,
Canada, in 1917, produced 5 per
cent more foodstuffs than in an,
previous year. What Canada hae
done the United States can anc
must do"
The specialists sent to the Sec
rotary of Agriculture, David F..
Houston, telegram telling of the
increased paintings of food crops
in the South and the probability
of it's safe harvest.

perhaps they would not have
come back here last Friday night
to rob the Punta Gorda pinery.
They had been Systematically rob-
bing the big Chicago pinery, of
which j. F. Gleason is manager,
and, on discovering his losses, Mr..
Gleason set a man to watch with
the result that the boys were
caught, hailed into court and fined
as stated.
That was on Tuesday. On Fri
day night following the court s
action, lot of boys, presumably
the same ones that were fined in
court, were seen robbing the Pun
ia Gorda Pinery, of which Jno. M.
Weeks is manager.
If our pineapple growers will
lie in wait for the young thieves
and pepper them with bird-shot,
it will not only stop their depre-
dations, but will give some good
Arcadia doctor a profitable job to
pick out the shot. This would be
more effective than a fine of $500.

| FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: IL am user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact,
1t was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when
was a child. When any of us child
rem complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
a dose of Black raught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-D raught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for 1t certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. just dose Of Black
Draught when not SO well saves q
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof Of its merit.
If your liver Is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, Indigestion, ETC.,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It Is purely vegetable, and
acts In a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to It's proper
functions and cleansing the bowels Of
impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed.
ford's. the original and genuine. q 70

Quite a number of the rural
schools will begin on Monday,
August 5th; others will begin at a
later date. All teachers whose
school opens on the first Monday
in August may secure supplies,
contracts, etc, by coming to the
office on July 10Th, Goth, 31st,
Aug. I'd, or Sd; or, if more con-
venient to the teachers, they may
come to Zolfo, on Thursday, Aug.
LIST. | will be at the school build
ing in Zolfo from 10 O'Clock a. m.
to 4 p. m.
All teachers must secure sup
plies, contracts ETC., before open
ing school. 1t is also hoped that
the patrons will enter the pupils
on the first day of school, and
send them regularly throughout
the term. 1t will possibly be best
for the children not to purchase
books until they have entered
school and been classified by the
teacher.
Let us all cooperate and make
the present school year the best in
the history of DeSoto county.
