One Calotab at bed time with a
swallow of water-that's all, no salts,
no nausea, and no upsetting of the

ing your system is purified and re-
freshed and you are feeling fine with
hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat

-ROTARIANS AT PLAYGROUND

The Woman's club entertained the
members of the Rotary convention
held in Americas yesterday at one of
the most beautiful buffet luncheons
ever served in the city. The commun-
ity club house was used for the set
ting and never before have the inter-
ior decorations been prertier. The re-
ception hall was ornamented with big
bowls of golden rod, while the main
convention hall was beautiful in pink
coral vine and dark purple ageratum.
Punch bowls were placed in this room
at which Mrs. Lee Council and Mrs.
| J. w. Harris, Jr., presided.
In the receiving line were Mrs.
Frank Sheffield, Mrs. Frank Harold,
Mrs. Dick Smith, of Atlanta, Mrs.
George Van Ripper, Mrs j. E. High
tower and Mrs. J. w. Harris, Jr., and
as the Rotarians gathered these lad
les greeted them in behalf of the

ed the Importance of training the
youth of America in the duties of the
future which awaits them. He declar-
ed it was a great privilege for the Ro-
! tarians as individuals and as body
to subscribe to this great national
movement, and that not one cent
contributed to any playground was
misplaced, because of the fact that
the young boys and girls of this age
will be the men and women of the
future upon whose shoulders the
greatest problems of the worlds
great history will fall.
Governor Smith complimented tht
women of Americas upon the splen
did achievement attained in the
playground here and added thai
lmany town and city, much larger
pattern after this thoroughly equip
ped playground. He was greatly i'm
dressed with the magnitude of thu
accomplishment in so short a tins
land urged the women on to ever
greater efforts in the future for tn
netterment of the young people O
Americas.
The visiting Rotarians inspected tht
beautiful grounds and the equipmen
already placed and left still express
ing admiration for the splendid worl
of the Woman's club in sponsoring
and unfolding this great work.

A NEW COUNCIL
FOR MCCORMICK
New Ticket Has Been Proposed And
Election Will Be Held At
Early Date

Mccormick, Dec. with the
exception of a special policeman ap-
pointed by Mayor 1. C. Harrison,
the town of Mccormick has been
without policeman for the past
month and a citizen living here
could not tell the difference. At a
meeting of the town council it was
decided to dispense with the SER
vices of regular policeman and ac-
cordingly, C.. Strom who has been
acting as policeman for the past
several months was discharged for
reasons best known TO the town
council and the citizens generally.
After his discharge, he began circu-
lating petition which undertook to
vindicate him of any wrong he had
done and to approve of his actions
as policeman which has been signed
by an umber Of people here in town
and a-number from outside Of the
town and county. While this was in
progress, one Of the members Of the
town council called a meeting of the
citizens of Mccormick to be held on
last Tuesday night. Mayor Harrison
then called meeting for last Mon
day night, asking the entire council
and all citizens to be present. At
this meeting, Mayor Harrison went
fully into the financial condition Of
the town at this time and told what
had been done during the three
years he had been mayor. At the
conclusion Of his address he stated
that there had been considerable dig
satisfaction among certain people of
the town for the past year or more
and that this dissatisfaction had
worked it's way into the town coun-
Gil and was at present working de-
triment to the interest of the town
and that he would make a PROPOSE
ton to the town council to resign as
mayor if they would resign as men,
bers Of the town council and that
their resignation would become ef-
feetive upon the installation Of new
officers to be elected in an election
to be called by them at once. After
a full discussion Mayor Hsrrison's
proposition was given full endorse
ment by the citizens present and
another meeting was called for the |
next evening at which proposed
ticket would be submitted to COM
pose the town council in the future
in the event that the present men,
bers Of the town council agreed to re-
sign. At this meeting all Of the men,
5ers Of the town council had agreed
b resign with the exception Of
Councilman W. B. Quarles, who re-
fused to do 50 until the books of the
present administration were audited
satisfactory to him. After several
citizens had prevailed upon him to
sign the instrument he finally &C.
cepted.
The new ticket was then reported
as follows:
For mayor, DR.. d. W. Cheatham;
Councilmen: J. M. Brown, W. M.
Strozn, j. T. ,Fooshe, N. N. Brown,
w. K. Cuarles and j. T. McGrath.
These men were selected by COM
mittee appointed for that purpose as
being men without partisan feelings
and with hope of doing away with
the discord prevalent.
It Is understood that an election
will be ordered by the town council
Tor the purpose of electing new Off
GERS and the men stated above are
not to have opposition so that they
will compose the next town coun-
Gil.

NEW YORK, April 16.-The very pronounced dimunition of operations or the stock exchange today at irregular price changes resulted almost entirely from fears of greater stringency in the money market.
 Call loans opened at 10 per cent, ar initial rate not approached since the early part of March, and roseto F per cent at mid day, but fell back unex- pectedly to eight per cent in the last half hour when interior banks offered freely of their local reserves.
 More rigid tendencies were mani fested by time funds. however. bids for at 1-3 to A per cent over recent quota tions Acceptances were extremely light
 Locally the railroad strike ceased to exert more than passing Influence but out of town advices. especially from steel and automobile manufacturing centers, reported an almost complete cessation of production.
 Sentiment was again dampened by the further decline of Liberty bonds and Victory notes, nearly alI of which made new low records. Bankers say much of the current liquidation has arisen from industrial disturbances and resultant financial needs.
 Pools in the steel, equipment, motor and oil groups, where extreme gains extended from two to five points, inn parted occasional activity to the mar ket. Shippings. sugars. chemicals and affiliated specialties also were firm to strong, but trading lacked the breadth of recent sessions. Sales amounted to 1000. GOO shares.
