charged with the murder of John
Crocker in a store at the Clinton cot
ton mill village last November NAL
pass was acquitted on plea of self
defense. The defense put up several
witnesses, incluAng the room-matc

to the homicide. The two met in
Johnson's store in the mill village
on Saturday afternoon. jim Crocker,
twin brother Of the deceased, an eye
witness to the occurrence, testified
that when he and his brother entered
the store they found Malpass there
and when John Crocker asked NAL
pass If he was still carrying a gun for
him Malpass began drawing his pis-
tol Before he could get 1t out his
brother was able to put his hands on
piece Of scantling and hit Nalpass

Ing at once and fired four times, each
shot taking effect and from the effects
Of which the deceased died at once

tion to that as to threats previously
made by Croker, was that Crocker
was the aggressor in the whole affair
and that Malpass shot after Crocker
made furious assault on him with the
piece Of scantling and was still ad-
vancing on him.

mary laws extending the requirements
as to booths to include all clubs with
enrOllments of as many as 81 voters.
One booth Is required for every 100
voters or fraction thereof. Election
tickets will also cost more than in
the past due in part to the natural in
crease in the price Of such commodi-
ties and also to the fact that each
ticket will have to be numbered.

RARE COIN FOUND ON
 MASSACHUSETTS FARM

DOVER, Mass, Nov (by Associ. ated Press.)-A Franklin penny, the first copper coin to be authorized by congress, has been found on the homestead of one of the first set tiers here. It was struck in 17S7 and is one of a few that were coined
 The penny took it's name from Benjamin Franklin because of the inclusion in it's design of the homely admonition Mind your business. ; after a suggestion by him that coins should serve purposes other than those of legal tender.
 On one side 13 circles appear linked together, a small circle in the middle with the words United States" around it, and in the center "We are one" On the other side is dial with the hours indicated, a meridian sun above it, on one side of which is the word "Fugio" and on the other the date "17S7." below the dial appears the Franklin phrase Mind your business.'

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO the KIDNEYS
Take Tablespoonful Of Salts If
Back Hurts or Bladder
BotherS.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns US to
be constantly On guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood Of this irritating acid, but
become weak from overwork; they get
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder
is irritable, obiging you to seek relief
during the night; when you have Sc
we're headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in
glass Of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts Is made from the acid of grapes
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer source Of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia- water drink. and nobody can
make a mistake by taking little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active-Adv.

stand the processes by which they came into
being. Into their hearts must be instilled love of
country and into their minds understanding of
it's principles and purposes.
Aliens that land on our shores must be taught
that the opportunities of this country carry with
them obligations that cannot be denied, chief of
them being citizenship and answering loyalty to
the land of their adoption. We have been re-
miss in failing to educate the aliens in the prin-
cples of our government and of assisting them
in learning our language and the customs of our
country.
Radical ideas will not be rooted out merely
by deporting the aliens that were caught in the
governments net. The pernicious principles of
bolshevism must be combatted along with the
campaign that is being waged against its prin-
cipal advocates.
Not only the apostles of bolshevism but the
theory itself must engage our attention. Public
opinion must be crystallized against it. The de-
portation of it's leading expounders struck at the
source of much of the propaganda, but there
still remains the task of removing from the
minds of many deluded persons the baneful in
fluences of the doctrine of destruction.
So long as thousands believe that the over
throw of government and the establishment of
a soviet will bring about an industrial paradise
on EARTH it is necessary to be vigilant and per-
sistent in our propaganda for established gov
eminent.

Reflections Of a
Bachelor Girl
BY HELEN ROWLAND

fConyright 1919. by The Wheeler
Syndicate. 1nc)
mans kisses may not be so numer-
Gus or so ardent, as they were in the
ilalcyon days before the "drouth";
but what there is of them Is lot more
pleasant and convincing.
The woman-charmer and the mascu-
line "vamp" live upon the starved
vanity of all the women whose hus-
bands have forgotten the rules Of the
love-game.
OF course, every woman wants a
man to understand" her; but, some
how, she would rather have him adore
her blindly with his imagination, than
to love her mildly with his eyes wide
open.
The Married Martyr" role used to
be mans winning card, before the
war; but there is something in the
eyes of man who has come back
from "over there" that makes a
Lotharios secret sorrow" sound like
a nursery rhyme.
When a brilliant man marries a
plain, colorless, little thing with moth
ing to recommend her except a good
disposition, it may be merely bad taste
on his part-and then, again, it may
be mighty good judgement.
wOman's success in the love
game depends on her ability to appear
to be playing when she Is in deadly
earnest. and mans on his ability to
pretend to be In dead earnest, when
ne is only playing.
When a man has finished telling a
girl all about his ambitions and
achievements, he will start right in
and tell her all about his faults and
failures, rather than stop talking
about himself.
A man may live down the world 8
sneers or Its frowns; but once 1t gets
a good joke on him, he can never out
live its smiles.
The corner cafe has gone-but the
genial bachelor-friend with the well
stocked cellar is still every wife's
mortal enemy.

The Next Step

The deportation of thousands of radical aliens
to their native countries is only the first step in
Kidding the country of a dangerous class. Many
of the men who have been elected from the coun-
try they sought to destroy will try to return.
Vigilance will be necessary to prevent their
re-entrance to this country, suggesting the ne
cessity of immigration laws that will effectively
bar them. The nation will have gained only tenn
porary relief from the red menace if the radicals
succeed in coming back.
A positive American spirit must be developed.
We must learn again the tested principle of the
American commonwealth that changes and re-
forms must come by way of the established
agencies and not by revolution and disorder.
Our schools must teach Americanism with re-
newed vigor and increased zeal. Our children
must learn to love our institutions and to under
