TWENTIES IN HISTORY

The '20s have played quite consid-
cradle part in history. The chief of
the centenaries to be observed will be
that of the sailing Of the Mayfiower,
which landed the Pilgrim Fathers on
Plymouth Rock on Christmas Day,
1920. 1t was in 1920 that Luther
burned the papal bull in Wittenberg,
an event which also had its repercus-
sions on the times to come. George
III. (already moribund for two years)
died in 1920, as did his son, the father
of Queen Victoria; and it was the same
year that George Nv inaugurated his
reign by holding the trial of his wife.
The Field of the Cloth Of Gold (1520),
the drowning Of Prince William, the
only son of Henry l, (1120), are among
the other events Of the '20s.

that if the exiled Kaiser could be per-
sunded to leave his present Dutch
haven and come to this country they
would launch movement to run him
for President on their party ticket.
The campaign issue would be that
since American soldiers assisted, very
materially, in driving him from the
German throne and making him ty-
rant without country, amends ought
to be made by at least giving him the
opportunity to make the race on the
"gop" ticket for President. The
strong card for such movement is
that every pro-German, every Stacker,
every profiteer, including sugar ma
nipulators, the political opponents of
the League of Nations and all newly
rich autocrats, would support such
"gop" candidate.

Cannot Praise this
Remedy too Highly
THE WAY ONE lady FEELS AFTER
SUFFERING TWO YEARS

Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. F. D. No. l,
Box LA, Dillon, S. c., must have
been terrible. No one, after read
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
Of PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
letter is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. Here it is: 81 suffered
two years with catarrh Of the head,

the best doctors, who gave me up.

truthfully say I am well. Vixen +

now is one hundred and fifty. Z

highly, for it was Godsend to me.

AS an emergency remedy in the
home, there Is nothing quite the
equal of this reliable, time-tried
medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands

Governor against the Springfield Ed
itor, E. E. E. McJimsey. His start is
such a substantial one that McJimsey
may never be able to overtake him,
handicapped, as he is, with the en-
dorsement of the awfully wet St. Louis
"gop" machine tackled on to him. The
same prohibition Republicans who
have cinched the "gop" Senatorial
nomination for Spencer are support
ing Hyde.
Joe Davis Urges Golira's Reelection
The we'll known St. Louis lawyer,
Joseph T. Davis, who twice made the
race for the Democratic nomination
for Acknowledgement and narrowly
escaped each time from having the
honor thrust upon him, is sending out
from st. Louis a strong personal let
ter to his friends over the State, urg-
ing the reelection at the Joplin con-
vention of Democratic National Com
mitteeman Edward F. Goltra. Phelps
and Jasper Democratic conventions

Negro Given West Point Honors.
The white Republicans of the
Twelfth Congressional DistricG Of st.
Louis, numbering 1000, are up in
arms in opposition to the reelection
of Congressman L. C. Dyer for the
reason that he announced few days
, ago that in the future he would only
name negroes for West Point honors.
In the district there are 1000 negro
voters. The district generally goes
Republican by 5000, owing to the
heavy Ethiopian vote. The white Re-
publicans declare that next Novem-
Der they will defeat Dyer by 5000 for
reelection through voting the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Congressman Dyer put his negro
program into force by naming Richard
A. Jackson, st. Louis negro youth,
to take the West Point admission ex-
animation. All white Republican APP
plicants for the honor were coldly
turned down. II the negro passes the
examination, the next roar will come
from the West Point Academy stu
dents who may go on strike, if he is
admitted.
State Committee Approves Neales'
Interpretation.
While in Greenfield, Mo-, early in
the week, Chairman Ben M. Neale of
the Democratic State Committee, said
that more than q majority of the
members of the committee had APP
proved the Interpretation Of the call
for the Joplin State Convention de-
cided upon at a conference in st. Louis
last Thursday, and that he had direct

from the committee headquarters in
Kansas City.
The Interpretation agreed upon

stead of half the delegates to the con-

instead of the women voting separate

SILVER DAM STILL STANDING
DESPITE STATE COMMISSIONER

Birmingham, State Game and Fish
Commissioner, the following letter un-
der date of March Bird.

ASHFORD RECOMMENDS
TWO NEW HIGH SCHOOLS
Mckinley and Business Should Be
Used for Girls Only, He
Reports.

In his annual report submitted to
the Commissioners yesterday after
noon Snowden Ashford. municipal
architect, recommended the erection
of a new Business High School and a
new Mckinley Manual Training
School, both for boys. He further
recommended that the present Bust
ness and Mckinley schools be used
for girls.
Architect Ashford made these recon-
mendations as substitutes for the sug-
gestion that the existing Business and
Mckinley buildings be enlarged to &C
commodate the growing population.
Additions Not Feasible.
Mr.. Ashford states that additions
to these buildings would not be fe;sj-
IDLE. He points out that Business
High School already occupies the en-
tire block on which it is built and
that a number of additions have been
made to Mckinley. each necessitating
costly changes in the original Struc
ture.
Another recommendation of the
architect is that tubercular pupils be
housed in portable school buildings
instead of wasting fuel by opening
the windows of mechanically venti-
lated buildings.
Lump sums Urged.
Mr.. Ashford also recommends that
instead of having Congress appro-
pirate definite sums for each new
school building lump sum be
obtained to provide accommodation
for a stated number of pupils. Under
this plan the Commissioners and the
board of education would determine
upon the size and character of the
buildings needed.
Mr.. Ashford's report shows that 32.S
per cent of the total fund for repairs
to school buildings was spent last
year on buildings used by colored
children.

of "Uncle Joe" Dixon who left here
nearly eight weeks ago on his annual

Arkansas and who never writes home
until he is ready to return, a Sletter

following letter has been received:
Replying to your letter of inquiry
regarding Mr.. Dixon, am pleased to
state that he is still on deck in old
Arkansas At any rate noted in last
weeks issue Of the Mena Star (forty
miles from here) that he had been a
visitor there. He called on me when
he first arrived and stated that he was
going to spend his vacation in the
mountains. but would not be back in
Womble this trip. I feel sure he is
just enjoying mountain life too much
to write folks back home.
Trusting he will return to Quincy

FIGHT FOR THEM!

| Take time, right now, neighbor, to
get these Fourth Of July facts straight
and vivid.
It's YOUR day, dedicated TO YOUR
| liberties. Fight for those liberties
your personal, individual nberties-any
day, any minue, at the drop of the
hat-when anybody. high or low, steps
on them.
That goes whether you are a new
American, with your second papers
just issued, or the great-grandson of
a Pilgrim who kicked the first moss
off Plymouth Rock.
Your '.inalienable right to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness"
was flung defiantly in the Teutonic
face of an autocratic old profiteer just
4.years ago today. Brave men flung
il. Brave men are needed today. There
are other autocratic profiteers now,
more cunning and more tricky than
frumpy, frowsy George the Third.
Watch them. and swat them.
But that wonderful Declaration
wasn't enough. So the Fathers wrote
another piece, to make it plain and
solid-the Constitution. They said,
I'VE, the PEOPLE in order to
secure the blessings of liberty to
our selves and our posterity, do or
dain and establish this Constitution"
The ink was not dry on it before
lawyers began to bubble and superior
people began to walk all over the rights
of common folks. So 70 make 1t dead
sure the Fathers quickly adopted
amendments. They wrote it bold and
straight that, our government must
never abridge free speech, free press,
free assembly; that no policeman or
deputy sheriff should ever search your
home or drag you from it without due
process of law; that no judge, proud
or petty, should ever sentence you, to.
prison without fair, public trial.
The Fathers won THEIR liberty by
fighting for it. against big odds. You
will have to fight. also to keep YOUR
liberties. Eternal vigilance is the
price. And it's worth it:
Whenever the lawful rights of any
American citizens are violated YOUR
liberties are imperilled. You are apt
to forget this, sometimes, when you
think a man deserves just what he
gets, when you are absolutely out of
sympathy with the victim. If an au-
tocrat tramples today on the lawful
rights of a friendless man or woman. |
and gets away with it--look out for
yourself tomorrow!
And, most of all, remember that the
Stars and Stripes lis YOUR flag. The
man who grabs it from you, or who
wraps it about himself. desecrates it. |,
There's red in it .too--the good red
blood of strong men who died to hoist |
il and to keep it afloat Be ready, like /
them. to fight for it. then, if you are
red blooded-and to fight for all it |
symbolizes of life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness"
