Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on aslug-

contact with sour bile 1t crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious. headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out just 90

Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents.
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous Calomel. Take a
spoonful, and IL 1t doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel, and
without making you sick, you just
go back and get your money.
II you take calOmel to-day you1l
be sick and nauseated tomorrow /;
besides, it may salivate you, while If
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of

THE HICKSON ESPIONAGE CASE.
Aged Gaifney Preacher Must Paw tho
Penalty for Disloyal Words.
(Anderson Mail, May 2S.)


In passing final judgment in the
case of Rev. +. G. Hickson, an aged
Baptist minister Of Gaffney, Chero-
kee county, who stood convicted of
gross violation of the espionage act
Judge Woods, presiding over the
United States District Court to-day,
took occasion to administer stern
rebuke to Mr.. Hickson and to all dis
loyal persons in the nation.
dickson was convicted of violat-
ing the espionage act at previous
term Of the District Court, and the
case was appealed to the Circuit
Court. That court found that the
judgment Of the court below was
isound. but the punishment erroneous.
The old minister had been sentenced
TO serve six months in the peniten-
tiary, and the court above referred
the case back for correction on the
ground thnt &c sentence should have
been 80 ~" jail.
IN referring the case back the Cir.
cuiJ tunE. left ia. pcUalty pHY; OF /,
to the discretion or the court below,
and Judge Woods said he found that
the health of Hickson is such that
Il long confinement in Jail would jeo-
pardize his chances of life. and for
that reason alone he would make the
penalty Il fine OF $500 or six months
in the county Jail.
II am not inclined to extend Il len
lent punishment in this case" said
the court to the aged minister. ."Your
intelligence should have prevented
you from uttering disl0yal remarks
or sentences. The offense was Il
most grievous one, and coming as
it did when the United States was at
war with formidable foe, is de-
serving of the strongest rebuke tbat
can be given by the nation. No one
has any right to utter disloyal opin-
ions, even though such opinions are
held by himself, in the United States
when the nation is at war. The ma
tion has a right to make every other
individual right Of the citizen sub
servient to loyalty at such time"
The court said that it appeared
evident that Hickson had acted as ne
had because Of pompous self~import-
ance and eccentricity, and he added
that all such were not at all entitled
to pity from court or jury or people,
or the government. 1t was stated to
the court that friends Of Hickson
would pay the fine, as the minister,
it was stated, had no funds with
which to do so. The specific charge
against dickson was the making Of
dislOyal utteranccs about the United
States government, contained in
letter he wrote and sent TO the Bap-
tist Courier.

was born on the side OF the road,
where people were passing. All of
these old-time highways were built
some time during the years of 1920
30-40-50 and 60. How were they
built? rise to ask and answer the
question. BY the love Of Mike and
my son Jakey. will tell you: They
were built by our public-spirited and
were paid for by the old district, out
Of the small taxes collected in the
early days. No road commissioner,
SO far as | can recollect, ever got
pay for his services. All men and
boys from sixteen to fifty and sixty
years old had to work on the public
roads the rich man, the poor man,
white man, black man, peddler and
tinker-all had TO give Of their time,
tools and labor, free Of charge. They
all worked, freely and honestly. We
sure had as good roads then as in
this day of much-talked-of good
roads and highways. We were all
proud of this grand old highway and
for years kept it up, free of charge.
This old road was used in the days
Of the old stage coach--the only
public highway service was by the
Old-time stage. we'll remember,
| when only six years old. in the late
| forties and ffties, with my next older
brother, how we would run our best
| to see this famous old stage coach
| pass by old Richland cross roads,
with four fine, large, well-groomed
horses, in full trot. This famous old
| coach was generally occupied by six
| or eight passengers, with lot Of
| large trunks in the back part, well
tied on with stout leather straps.
This famous old coach was driven
by that famous old-time, big-ring
iist-fighter. Pierce Cody. He was a
large, stout, dark-skinned man, over
six feet tall, and weighing full $50
pounds. He was Welshman, not
an American. Pierce Cody, the stage
| driver, used as a signal, to warn the
| people that he was coming. q large,
old-style bugle, at least seven or
eight feet long. He could sure make
the memorable old hills ring with
that clear sound Of his old bugle. He
sure could play that old-time instru-

trips and afforded the only mode of
