AUTO-|NIOXICATION
A Scientific Discussion of its Cause
and Proper Treatment With
SarDras

Auto -1ntoxication, together with it's
Kindred ailments, Ptomaine poisoning
and Cholera Morbus, are but the inten-
sltied result of Indigestion. Improper
and rash eating and neglect of the
stomach, bowels and liver frequently
produce this condition. Practically all
who are subject to Auto-Intoxication
are excessive eaters.
When the stomach is overworked,
the food cannot be properly digested
neither can the liver be expected to
perform properly.
Regulation of the habits will, with a
little assistance to the stomach and
liver, remove the cause of the trouble.
SarDras, scientific preparation of
medicinal herbs and roots, contains
the proper ingredients to enliven liver
and kidney action and invigorate the
glands of the stomach. Contains no
alcohol.
If you are suffering from auto Jim
toXlcation or other digestive troubles,
regulate your habits and take table
spoonful of SarDras before each meal.
The result is simple and gratifying
1t will do what the common laxatives
cannot. Ask all dealers and jobbers.

CORBETT PLEADS StLF-DEFENSE

Orangeburg, Sept. 27-The case
against Carlos Corbett was resumed
this morning and Mrs. Maggie Cor
bett, wife Of the defendant, took the
stand first, followed by the defend
ant. The examination of Mrs. Corbet
and Mr.. Corbett was conducted by
William c. Wolfe, one of the counsel
for defense, while both these wit
nesses were put to severe cross-ex-
animation by T. M. Raysor and A. H.
Moss, respectively, for the State.
Mrs. Corbett testified, in substance,
that on the night of the fatal shoot
ing she retired early in the night
about $3.50 o'clock--and was suddenly
awakened at about II o'clock by a fire
which was burning in the road near
the house. Mrs. Corbett stated she
told her husband to 60 out and shoot
off his pistol, but that defendant did
not do this on account of having to
care for the fire, but that he did carry
his pistol and three or four extra
cartridges.
While she was trying to put out the
fire with the aid of her husband, de-
clared the witness, Bryan Salley Hugh
Tanning, Julian Cooper, Jones Salley
and Lewis Salley drove up in a car.
Mrs. Corbett charges that the occu.
pants got out of the car and told Cor
bett they were "going to give him
h" and used other curses. After one
shot had been fired by the opposing
party, she testified, her husband then
opened fire.
Mrs. Corbett further testified that
she then returned to her house and
that her husband, Carlos Corbett came
IN and dressed in a ncw suit, took a
tiashlight end went out and brought
in pistol, which, she testified, her
husband gave her, stating that he had
found same between the bodies of
Hugh flaming and Bryan Salley. She
stated that Carlos then left to sur
render, which he did The testimony
of Carlos Corbett was practically the
same, claiming that when he was be-
ing pressed he shot in self-dcfense,
after urging them not to come upon
his premises.
The defense at this stage rested it's
case, while the State presented ., .eral
witnesses for contradiction, among
them being w. j. Cormack of Colum
bia. With testimony closed the argu-
ments began this afternoon with II. M.
Raysor speaking first for the State
and Mendel l.. Smith for the defense.
The jury will leave early tomorrow to
view the scene, after which the other
arguments will be made.

Front Porch Strategy.

Senator Harding might be able to
resist the Macedonian calls coming TO
him from various sections of the
country to abandon his front porch
program. 1t is to be doubted, now
ever, whether he can go through with
the program in the face of the cox
Roosevelt decision to carry the
Democratic fight into every quarter
of America.
Front porch campaigning has both
its advantages and its limitations. III
relieves the candidate from the dan
ger of making any Winona speeches
and reduces the probability of seri-
GUS error which might result from
constituencies heckling. On the other
hand, if by his sticking to the
porch any considerable number OF
Republicans over the country get The
idea that their candidate is afraid To
come down the front steps and race
his critics, a reaction is likely to sci
in detrimental to party success IN
November.
Tic plain Dealers" own guess is
that by the time Cox and Roosevelt
have been in the field two or three
weeks Senator Harding will find the
front porch at Marion wholly unten
able as a battle ground for the pres
| idency.
The Democratic decision to carry
the fight to the voters in practically
every state is to be commended IRON
every point of view. The People are
entitled TO have the issues discussed
| in their presence so far as practical
they are entitled TO the privilege o.
sizing up the candidates in person
so far as the breadth Of the countr!
makes it possible for them to pene
srate TO every quarter.
Happily or otherwise, the Amer
can people have got beyond the IRON
porch stage of politics. They demand
/ TO see and hear the man they choos'
as their supreme executive. a slip
pered sage in white vest and ROCKING
chair no longer appeals to their i'm
agination. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Hunting for home in New York

HOW TO RAISE CORN.
Can Produce Good Crops in South
Florida If You Know How.

Corn can be grown just as success
fully in South Florida, in DeSoto and
Lee counties, as anywhere else, If
one knows how, according to a De-
maud farmer WHO has been expert
menting for years. How he does 1t
was told in last weeks Estcro Eagle
as follows:
When at the barbecue at Denaud
q little over a week ago, 1t was our
good fortune to meet with Mr. Frank
]. Dana, an old resident and success
full farmer of that section, and from
him we learned one of the best point
ers we have ever obtained concern
ing agriculture in Lee county
! TRY as l would" said he, Il had
never been able up to several years
ago to raise a good crop of corn.
! One day an old farmer came along
| from somewhere up in DeSoto coun-
ty. He asked me how much corn !
grew to the acre. told him any
where from five bushels to five bar
rels; that it was poor and the ears
not we'll filled. You follow my in
structions,' said he, and you will
have no trouble in raising corn.
He told me to take equal quantities
of Florida White Dent and Cuban
Yellow, mix it thoroughly and plant
it.
Il followed his advice, and from
that time on have never failed to
make a good corn crop. From one
acre / harvested thirty-two barrels,
and frcm six acres got 165 barrels
of fine corn, all without fertilizer.
find that every third year l have to
renew the White Dent, as the Cuban
Yellow is stronger and tends to run
it out"
Going into his cornfield nearby,
Mr.. Dana pulled an ear at random
from one of the dried stalks and
handed it to us for inspection. 1t
was large and we'll filled with yellow
looking flint corn, equal in appear
ance to most of that found in the
northern corn belt. He produces all
he needs to fatten his hogs and to
feed his horses and chickens. Here
after if anyone says that Lee county
Is not a corn country we will tel
them they do not know what they are
talking about. 1t is all matter OF
knowing how, and Frank j. Dana has
pointed the way. Many of his neigh
bors are growing good corn by the
