was il against the law to educate
the negro, but there was no free
school system even for the whites
as in the north; and so it was
practically against usage TO edu-

to be nothing better than a force.
The system was invested by the
rich for the benefit of the rich,
and the continued oppression of
the poor, white or black, The
law of Georgia provided that there
shuld be three months school in
each school district. The state
funds paid the teacher 80 cents
per month per head on the aver

average attendance would thus,
pay the teacher $l5 per month or

This request has come to Prof. Fred
X. Ellis from many boys of the city,
as well as from the older citizens and
such an organization will he started
at once. Prof Ellis stated last night.
There never has been such demand
for bands and band musicians in civil.
or military life The recent order of
the United States government IN
creasing army bands from twenty
eight to fifty members IN each band
found the supply not equal to the de-
mand since our entrance into the
war. Albuquerque and other cities
of the same size couH not furnish a
good band in quality or quantity TO
meet the demands of concert or pa
triotic playing. as all physically fit
musicians We're with Uncle Sam. Al
huquerque now has in its service flags
upward of thirty band men. including
many members of former boy bands
The city is in need of such an organ
ization for community and patriouC
work. All BOYS of good character
who are interested in joining the boys

Ocilla, Ga.--Mr. j. Fl. Mcneil. a
resident of this place, says: 81 anH my
family have been users of Thedford's
Black -Draught for years and never yet
found it's equal for liver and stomach
troubles. It is without doubt the best
medicine for headache, indigestion
and such ills on the market. | firmly
believe if a family would use ii regu-
larry they would never have any fever,
as it keeps the liver active and is so
easy to take. We have never had any
fever in our family since we began
its use. although we live in low coun-
try in southern Georgia.
/ use ii in broken doses for indi-
gestion, gas or sour stomach but for
colds / use full dose"
When you feel bad all over. stom-
ach not right. bad taste in your
mouth. head aches. bilious. etc. try
that old, reliable vegetable liver med
icine you have heard so much about
-Thedfords Black Draught.
You have read over and over again
the statements from users who found
it OF great relief to them in their suf-
fering. Try Black Draught for your
self. Why should il not bring you
relief, too?
