Calomel salivates! It's mer

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

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: II am a user
of Thedfords 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
ren complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught 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 a dose of Black
D-aught when not so well saves
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 tie liver to its proper
fa9c'ions and cleansing the bowels OF
ir?nmities. Try il. lE@ist on Thed-

MOB IN BARNWELL
ACTS SUMMARlY
SLAYER OF WILLIAM WILSON AT
FAIRFAX HANGED TO TREE.
AND BODY RIDDLED.

Fairfax, February 23:-For shoot
ing to death William Wilson. a high
ly respected young white man, here
this afternoon about 4:30 O'Clock,
Walter Best, a negro. was taken
from Sheriff J B Morris and Depu-
ties J F Grubb and John B Ross by
a mob of 100 men one mile from
Fairfax and his body hanged to a
tree alongside the public road and
riddled with bullets. The officers
had come to Fairfax to take the
negro to the county Jail in Barnwell.
The killing of William Wilson took
place at j T Wilson's shop on Hamp-
ton avenue ,one Of the main thorough
fares of the town, where young VIII
son. cousin Of the owner of the
shop, was employed.
Walter Best came to the shop
with an automobile tire and demand
ed that it be repaired free of charge,
claiming that ] T Wilson, Jr, who is
a soldier at camp Jackson, had re-
paired the tire some time ago and
guaranteed it. JT Wilson, Sr, dis
claimed responsibility and refused
to repair the tire without being paid
for the work, whereupon Best used
some insulting language and Mr.
Wilson ordered him to leave the
shop. but he refused to go and
young Wilson stepped between J T
Wilson, who is IN feeble health, and
ordered the latter to leave the
premises. Instead Of doing 80 Best
drew a pistol from his hip pocket
and fired at young Wilson at close
range with fatal effect.
After shooting young Wilson the
negro ran away, but was soon cap
tured by Officer Sullivan and lodged
in the town guard house and Sheriff
Morris of Barnwell was notified to
come after him, which he did prompt
ly, but the Sheriff and Deputies F
Grubb and John B Ross were over
powered at Duck Branch bridge, Z
mile from Fairfax. by 100 or more
men and the negro was hung to a
tree and his body riddled with
bullets. This is the first lynching
that has ever occurred in this neigh
borhood.

Wheat Substitute May End Soon

Owing to dearth Of feedstuffs for
dairy cattle'and other stock, not only in
this county but throughout the world,
it is said that an order will be issued by
National Food Administrator Hoover
shortly lifting the ban on whole wheat
bread, This will release the substitutes
for the cattle and permit human beings
to feed upon the wheat products entirely.
The order Eliminating the 1920 regu-
lation regarding wheat flour substitutes
as originally intended to 60 into effect
the first of the year. Another reason
for the probable fastening of the order
is that accumulated stocks of wheat in
Australia, India and South America
Immediately became available, so far
as it is possible to obtain transportation
facilities.
