GOV. ALLEN AND
COMPASSIONATE
RIGHT TO STRIKE

NEW YORK, May 29.-The rela-
tions of capital and labor; the right
to strike and it's legitimacy as re-
CARDS the effect on the public; the
Kansas industrial court law and it's
significance to the future of the
working man, were intertwined in a
remarkable debate Friday night in
Carnegie hall between Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. and Governor
Henry ]. Allen, of Kansas.
Governor Aliens main contention
was that government has the right
to protect the public against strikes
when it's welfare is imperiled, while
Mr.. Gompers held to the argument
that no law can pr vent a man from
stopping work if by doing SO he may
benefit himself and his family. Com
court law the 'un-American slave
law" and Governor Allen declared
he had taken away from Gompers his
divine right to order a man to quit
work.
The oratory of the debaters was
punctuated with frequent cheers and
boos of adherents Of each side and
occasional questions shouted from
the floor and the balconies.
In support of the right to strike
IoLlpeiS uec1dred tnaC Inc coal
miners strike took boys out OF
the mines; that the textile workers
strike brought children out of the
mills and put them in the school
room, while the strikes in the
needles trades broke up the sweat
shops when laws had failed to do so
Governor Aliens Industrial com
mandment was, "You shall not con-
spire to shut down the industry nee.
essary to the welfare of the peo-
ple.''
when the general public says we
have had enough of this he said
cts over"
Who controls the divine right tc
quit work." Allen asked. He was
answered with cheers and boos.
The debate called for no decision
the committees in charge having
purposely divided the house be-
tween supporters of each speaker

Suicide Verdict in
Death of Prominent
Macon Woman

MACON, Ga, May 2S.-"Death by
drowning, and the same was suicide"
was the verdict of the coroner's jury
that investigated the death of Mrs.
M. J. Carroll, prominent Macon
woman, whose body was taken from
the Ocnulgee river here late Fri
day. No additional evidence was
found ito substantiate the theory that
she jumped into the river to end her
life.
The body was found within a
short distance of where her sister,
Mrs. Kate Long, committed suicide
by drowning last November. Both
were sisters Of A. J. Long, we'll
known local wholesale grocer.
Mrs. Carroll left home Friday
morning with her oldest daughter,
Marie. and came down town in a
street car. On the way she talked
queerly, giving directions about what
was to be done with certain things
if anything unexpected happened to
her. When her daughter left her to
10 to a dentists office she was great
ly worried about the unusual re-
marks made by her mother. With.
out keeping the engagement, she re-
turned to look for her mother, who
had disappeared. The search ended
in finding of the body in the river
about 100 feet above the Spring
street bridge. Mrs. Carroll is be-
| lieved to have been mentally de-
| ranged, as she brooded a great deal
| over the death of her sister.

North Carolina Cities
Win in Complaint on
Atlanta Freight Rates

An Associated Press dispatch
from Washington Saturday after
noon announced that the Interstate
commerce commission had rendere-
ed a decision in favor of the North
Carolina state railroad commission
in it's complaint against the rela-
tionship between freight rates from
Virginia cities to Atlanta and North
Carolina cities to Atlanta.
Edgar Watkins, the welI-known
Atlanta attorney, represented the
North Carolina commission in it's
complaint. 1t was shown that
though the average distance from
Virginia cities to Atlanta was Ia
miles greater than the average dis
lance from North Carolina cities to
Atlanta, the rate was the same 1t
was claimed that this discrepancy in
favor of Virginia cities practically
excluded North Carolina cities from
the Atlanta market.
The interstate commerce commits
sion, finding in favor of the COM
plant, has ordered a reduction of
the rates from North Carolina
cities to Atlanta, which was asked
in the petition. ---

Rupture" Why? Because the unfortunate
ones, had neglected themselves had been
merely taking care of the sign (swellingl of
the affliction and paying no attention to
the cause. What are you doing? Are you
neglecting yourself by wearing truss, ap-
pliance, or whatever name you choose to call
it? At best, the truss is only a makeshift,
a false prop against a collapsing wall-and
cannot be expected to act as more than
mere mechanical support. The binding pres
sure retards blood circulation, thus robhng
the weakened muscles of that which they
need most-nourishment. %'7fA
But science has found a way, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to make
q FREE test right in the privacy of their
own home. The PLAPAO method is I'M
qGestionably the most scientific, logical and
successful self-treatment for rupture the

Acts On The Liver,
Regulates Kidneys,
Purifes the Blood

o. The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation. biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immedi-
ately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood
to absorb and carry into the sys-
TEN the impurities that the liver
and kidneys have failed to elimin-
ate.
When you treat the liver alone,
trouble, and that is why you have
to take purgatives every few
nights Calomel or other ordinary
Iaxatives do not go far enough. If
you would treat your kidneys and
blood while treating the liver, you
would put your entire system in
order and frequent purgatives would
then be unnecessary.
DR.. w. l.. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
known as DR.. Hitchcock's Liver
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctors favorite prescrip-
ton for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
1t is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for Csc, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep it in
the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins
to feel "out of sorts" 1t will
prove a household friend and a val
liable remedy.-(AdVt.)
