Sour Stomach.

This is a mild form of indiges.
ton. 1t is usually brought on
by eating to rapidly or too much,
or food not suited to your diges-

slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you
will more tn an likely avoid the

any medicine whatever. When
you have a sour stomach, take

that Mrs Deaderiek would be

in its new handsome quarters Thurs
day, and Mr.. l. c. Smith, the popular
owner, was the recipient of a number
of complimentary remarks from the

their frolicsome music and songs,
which attracted large audience the
entire evening. The young ladies as
sisting during the evening were
Misses Eulalie and Thelma Dorminey,
Athleen Dickey, Margaret Wise,

Sheriff Dorminey told of the ar

him that the negro had pulled pis-

Jim Graham, negro present at the
shooting gave a vivid account of the
act for the state as did also Jake
Johnson, another negro. Tom Hen
dirk told how he arrested Fountain
in the rear of Mobley's Drug store,
and Mrs. Burroughs told how Foun-
tain came to her Loarding house i'm
mediately after the shooting and emp
shells and one cartridge on the floor
of her hall
Marsh Mobley, in whose place of
business Fountain was arrested, swore
that Fountain came 10 him shortly af-
ter he heard the shots, told him that
he had to shoot a negro and insisted
on Mobley carrying him to the coun-
try in his car. Mobley stated his
car was on the opposite side of the
street and about that time Hendrix
made the arrest, coming through the
store to the prescription department.
This morning both sides introduced
who had testified on yesterday. At 10
o'clock Atty. A. J. Mcdonald opened
the argument for the state and closed
about LIS. Atty H. ]. Quincy fol-
lowed him for the defense. The at

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
GETS CAR POTATOES

County Food Administrator, A. H.
Denmark, has been ordered to take
charge of carload of seed potatoes
shipped to the Consolidated Grocery
Company of this city, but refused by
them on account of delay in ship
ping by the owners. The potatoes
were ordered to be shipped in January
early enough for the spring planting,
but were shipped in March. too late
tor the trade i'll this section. The Con-
solldated refused to accept the car and
were cited to appear before the Fed
eral Food Administrator for GEORGIA
to show cause why their license
should not be revoked.
Mr.. Brewer appeared before the Ad-
mlnistration at Atlanta and readily
convinced the authorities that fault
was with the shipper and Mr.. Den
mark was ordered to take charge. As
soon as the instructions are received
from the owners, the potatoes will be
sold for their account.
In this connection it may be we'll to
call the farmers and gardeners atten-
ton to the very great demand for DO
tatoes and the corresponding large
prices paid for them in the markets.
1t may be we'll for our farmers to put
in small acreage of these potatoes,
even at this late date, and not only
make nice profit out of the crop but
do patriotic act that will help feed
our own people. One hundred bush
els of potatoes to the acre is a small
crop and with fair seasons, we are
told a great deal larger yield can be
made here, SO at $500 per bushel and
more this crop would certainly prove
profitable.
