POLICE
VOLUNTARILY
DISBAND UNION

MACON, Nov. 12.-Members of
the Macon police department volun-
tarily gave up their union cards last
night, gave their funds to the Saliva
ton Army and declared themselves
free from the American Federation
of Labor. The vote to deunionize
was said to have been unanimous.
There are more than seventy mem
bers of the police force.
'There has been no pressure
brought to bear upon the men of the
department to bring about deunion-
ization," said a statement from the
committee named by the policemen's
union to make the announcement.
"The action is absolutely voluntary
on our part.
1T is brought about from the fact
that some of the movements of la
Dor among the American people have
concerned the fundamental princi-
pies of our government. We do this
believing that it will meet with the
approval of the public, and the action
is unanimous on the part of our sew
enty-two men on the force"
1t was announced that all of the
equipment of the American Fedora
tion of Labor held by Policemen's 10
cal union No. l, as the organization
was known in labor circles, will be
returned at once to W. A. McKenna
the organizer of the policemen
union.
In defending the purpose of de
unionization the committee stated
'We could not serve our organiza
tion and the government at the same
time. We owe our allegiance to thu
government first.
"We ask the cooperation of thC
public in assisting to raise the NOR
ale of the police department of the
city of Macon, body of men wht
stand for justice and right.
"We voted that our money now il
the treasury be donated to the Saliva
tion Army" The amount is not an
nounced, but it was declared to be /;

Cheney's Expectorant Gives Quick
Relief.

Frequently whooping cuogh affects
entire families. In this case try
Cheney's Expectorant. The parox-
ysms will grow lighter from its use
and you will feel much better in a
short time. 81 wish to say your
Cheney's Expectorant is the best
medicine I ever saw" says I. A. Bate,
of Bloomingburg, Ind. "I have used
it for three years and have tried
it thoroughly, particularly for Group
and whooping cough. Last winter
our children had very bad coughs
and colds and we gave them Expec-
torant, never dreaming that they had
whooping cough. In few weeks
there was a great deal of whooping
cough in our neighborhood and we
tried our best to keep our children
away from it, but could not. They
were both exposed number of times
and did not take it. After that they
were with children for a whole day
who had whooping cough. This was
positive proof to me that my children
had had the whooping cough and
that Cheneys Expectorant had so
kept it in subjection that it had ap-
peared only as an ordinary cold"
Any druggist can easily supply you
with. bottle of Cheney's Expector-
ant at slight cost. Try it-now-

tainly you are not well, either.
If you are in such condition, read
what Mr.. VIM. M. Bass, Rt. |, Crossville,
Ala, did, and try Ziron Iron Tonic, as
he did. Mr.. Bass says:
81 am nearly always pretty well and
strong and do not need much medicine
excepting for headaches. But, recently,
when | had not been feeling very well
for while, | knew | needed some soft
OF medicine to make me all right.

well again"

LEGION PAUSES
IN ITS JOLLITY
TO HONOR DEAD

A touching tribute to the memory
of those who were not thereof
the men who gave their lives in the
great war-was paid at the Armi-
stice Day banquet and smoker of the
local post of the American Legion
last night at the Windsor Hotel. 1t
was not by any means a solemn oe-
casion. but the men paused in their
joIlifcation of the occasion for few
moments of contemplation of the
sacrifice f the men who gave their all,
while Major James A. Fort, Whs
presided at the banquet table, spoke
a few words for the fallen ones.
Following were Major Forts re
marks in part:
To-day as we celebrate the win
ming of the war it is right that we
sneak of our soldiers who gave their
lives that we may call this Victory
Dav With honor and faith and
steadfast purpose they crossed the
Sc TO fight our battles, and fighting
died They paid the full price and
we are enjoying the benefits Wheth-
pr he was of the hob-nailed, burden
bearing infantry, marching where
only the infantry could go; whether
he was of the artillery urging his
horses until they died OF exhaustion
and then dragged his gun into posi-
tion; wether he was a machlne-gun-
ner staggering under his burden OF
gun and ammunition; whether ne was
of some other branch of the service
paving and equally fearful price for
his opportunity to close with the en-
emv where Death stalked abroad,
and finally claimed him as his own,
he struck for US, and we shall not
soon forget.
"These men that have crossed
over the river and into the shade OF
the trees have paid for US the price
of liberty, and opened the door OF
hope to millions of 'underdogs
throughout the world.

yet them? Could we be so unworthy
Of their sacrifice as ever to let this
lay pass by without expressing our
sense of deep gratitude? l am sure

occasion to express the gratitude that
must lie deep in every mans heart.
speak not only of the soldiers who
lied in battle but of every man who
lied at his post whether facing the
enemy or far from the sound of the
guns, each did his full share"
The legion banquet and smoker
was a most pleasant get-together,
at which wide variety of topics
we're discussed, without the usual
program of formal toasts. Nearly
10 ex-service men were seated
around the two large tables.
