BOY SHOOTS NEGRO IN
DISPUTE OVER RABBIT

-
Mccormick, 8. C, Jan. 2.-As re-
suit of a dispute over a rabbit shot
while five co'ored BOYS were out
hunting near Mt. Carmel in McCor-
mick county on Monday afternoon
Noble Jackson shot and killed George
Herd, one of the parties in the
hunt.
1t appears from the evidence at the
inquest over the dead negro that
three of TIE pcrty of boys shot at the
rabbit and the dispute arose between
the party who shot first and the one
'",o shot last. Jackson, it seems,
shot the rabbit last and the dead ne
gro shot the rabbit first. Jackson
gave himself up and has been placed
in jail on a charge of murder. He has
employed Joseph Murphy of the local
~ to defend him and they have al
re2dy taken steps to have him re-
leased on bond.

BETTER FEELING
AMONG NATIONS

Dos Moines,. Jan. Some basis
other than that of competition be-
tween nations must be found for
their relationships with each other,
Bishop Francis J. Mcconnell of Den
yer, CAL, said tonight in speaking at
the conversion Of the student volun-
teer movement for foreign mission.
The bishop said that competition
had been replaced by cooperation
among nations both economical and
socially. He declared that although
the United States had been the idoli-
zed nation of the world at the close
Of the war, today petty jealousies
and competitions of other nations
were causing the North American
country to be pat in position not
80 desirable.
Approximately rs per cent of the
men missionaries of North America
and the same per cent Of the unmar-
ried women missionaries in the last
SO years have been furnished, by the
student volunteer movement for
foreign missions, the executive COM
mittee reported at the convention
today. The report was read by John
r. Mott, chairman of the executive
board, at the morning session. 1t
went into detail of the, movement
since 1t was organized 33 years ago.
approximately 1000 institutions
which have an enrolment Of about
100000 students are represented in
the organization today. It's records
show that s,140 Of the students en-
rolled as volunteers have gone to
mission fields and of that number
2,202 were sent since the convention
six years ago in Kansas City.
Last year in North America A.
666 students were studying mission
airy subjects in 5000 classes.

Home Brew Killed In Ohio

Columbus, O., Nov. 12-What
may be a death blow to ''home
brw" was sounded today by j.. A
Scheerer, Federal Prohibition Di-
rector for Ohio, in an announce
ment that hereafter the sale OF
malt and hops may be made legi-
timately only to baker and con-
fectioners and cannot lawfully be
made to others.
The ruling was made following
receipt of instructions from 7. F.
Kramer, Federal Prohibition Di-
rector at Washington. The ~r1il-
ing will make it impossible for the
average citizen to concoct beyer-
ages. from malt and hops, it being
held that this combination pro-
duces a mixture containing more
than one half of one per cent al
cohol.

DoYou'Know asBaby Sick
With Constipation
Tell the mother to give half a teaspoon
fui of DIR. Caldwelps
Syrup Pepsin.

NO thoughtful mother with children
~ in the house will risk being without
good, reliable laxative. 1t will save
many a serious illness, many a
doctors visit.
When the baby cries and is fretful,
when the boy has noappetite and won't
play, when the girl is listless andfever-
ish, when there are complaints of
headaches and colds, the mother can
suspect constipation. Give DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in the small dose
prescribed on the bottle, when you put
the child to bed, and with morning the
ailment will have disappeared,
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
popular compound of Egyptian SIENNA
and other simple laxative herbs with
pepsin and pleasant-tasting aromatics It
acts gently and mildly, and children
take it without objection. A sixty-cent
bottle is enough to last an average fam
lily many months. u The ingredients are
endorsed in the u. S. Pharmacopoeia,
and last year American mothers bought
over eight million bottles of Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin from druggists. 1t
is the largest selling liquid laxative in
the world, and few cautious families are
