RAPIST SENTENC-'

jackson, Tenn, May 21-Return-

the criminal court jury recommended
a fixed sentence Of 40 years in the
state penitentiary for Edwin G. Mar
tin, young taxi driver Of Jackson, to-
day before Judge N. R. Barham on
the charge of committing an assault
on a 14-year-old girl Of Goodwin,
Tenn, near this city, on the after
noon of April %. The jury was
out an hour.
A motion for new trial will be
made, counsel for the defense an
nounced. This motion will be ar
gued before the court within the
next few days, but it is not probable
that the argument win be made to-
morrow, Judge Barham stated. It

paroling him after serving 10 years
according to the statement of Judge
Barham, who is of the opinion that
this will be the case in the event the
verdict of the jury deciding the case
is sustained.
The little girls parents, who were
in the courthouse during the process
of the trial seemed to be satisfied
with the verdict of the jury and of
the opinion that justice had been Sc
cured through the due process Of
law. The large crowds which,
thrOnged the courthouse while the.
case was being tried dispersed after
the verdict of the jury was returned.
The apparent indifference on the
part of Martin when the verdict Of
the jury was returned was nOticea-
bic. Members of his family broke
down in the courtroom when the YER

Mr.. DODSON WARNS
USERSOF CALOMEL
Says Drug Acts Like Dynamite ON
Liver and You Lose a Days
Work.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when few cents buys a large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tome
perfect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
DodsOn's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t
is mercury and attacks your bbones.
Take dose Of nasty calofael today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose
days work. Take a spoonful Of
Of Dodson' Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist says
if you don't find Dodson's Liver
Tone acts better than horrible calo-
mel your money is waiting for you.

A clear profit of $13,921 for one
year from a water and light plant in
a town no larger than Paris, our en-
terprising neighbor just to the east
of us, is a mighty good showing for
the Paris water and light plant, and
goes to show there is money to be
made from operation of a water and
light plant.
While, of course, Paris is a much
larger town than Dresden, it is also
true that her water and light equip
ment must be a great deal bigger
than ours, and, naturally, the ex-
pense of operating, upkeep, etc, lar
ger, requiring greater income to
enable the payment Of so handsome
a dividend of $13,321 yearly. But,
evidently, taxpayers of Paris pre-
fer supporting their plant rather
than to maintain it by taxation.
The squib from the Paris paper is
published to show that money foT
the city can be made from water
and light plant-just as the Dresden
ylant will yield a profit for the city
when everybody gets to supporting
the local plant as they should. The
Paris plant is never idle, running
night and day, Sunday and week
days-all the year, which is necessa-
ry if so large an investment is to pay
profit. No good business man
would think of installing $4,000
worth of machinery or buyinv that
quantity of merchandise and then
keeping open shop only four or five
hours after supper and expect t. get
a dividend from his inve Itmert.
Yet, that is what soiAe citizens Of
Dresden want done with the Ores
den water and light plans-.run it q
a few hours after supper, and ex-
pct it to be self-slppcrting. II
simply can't be done.

The tendency toward extravagance
in dress Will be given further impetus
once these fabrics Of very marked pat
terms are generally accepted, because
no woman can wear either a plaid or
a Powered dress as long as she can

must have greater variety in her ward

ties.
Viewers Of fabrics are working out
doors In France amid the ruins OF
their factories, which have not yet
been rebuilt, and the things that they
are producing are little short Of mar
velOus, considering the lack Of work
men and the shortage of raw mate
rails. One might quite naturally ex-
pect to find the merchandise turned
out under such conditions plain and
uninteresting, but it is not. On the
contrary, never was such charm of
color and such originality Of pattern |
expressed in fabrics. Upon realizing
the earnestness with which the work
ers in these branches have returned to
their tasks, no one can doubt the inn
portance Of woman's dress.
Plaid Cloth In Fashion.
When plaid dresses and coats. were
introduced last autumn many women
looked upon them as extreme fads,
which could gain no lasting fOothold.
Others, however, saw them in a diff
ferent light. These latter had -thegl
courage to adopt them because Of their
beautiful colOrings, which were very
after the dark, s0mber hues
we had been wearing. That there
were a great many women who did not
hesitate to order clothes featuring
pla.ds, and that they wanted real tar
Eans full Of bright color, Is evidenced
BY the quantities Of plaid cloth being
manufactured for this springs clothes.
A liking for Unusual materials seems

,eptance of plaids, and in these, too, q
preference is shown for gay colOrs and
