REFUSES f0 RUN AS THE
 NOMINEE OF THIRD PARTY
Senator LaFOAete Sends Word that He Does Not tsDeem Himself Avail
 able as a Candidate.

Chicago, July 14.--Senator Lafollette does not deem himself available as a candidate for the new party presi- dential nomination.. He sent word to the convention that he did not want the nominatin- ai .--S
 Immediately after Chairman Walker had announced Lafollette' s decision not to accept the nomination, Lester Bar low, leader of the World sWar vetsr-: ans, entered the fight and demanded that Lafolfette be drafted despite @his wishes. 6 N..o, o%
 He charged that the corMention was "boss riddAh by a secret, intriguing clique" and that its leaders were con cealing Lefollette's platform for fear the convention would' adopt it. His passionate appeal started an uproar and demanding that the. platform be read ve.. ~.
 At the psychological moment, some one swung d large photograph of the Washington senator before the con- vention and draped it in an American flag The Non-partisan Leaguers from the Dakotas started parade with the state standards, and state after state fell into line Pandehoniun reigned for thirty minutes, and was punctuated with cries of Read the platform. and Let's adopt it.''
 When the demonstration subsided, Chairman Walker scathingly denounc- ed Barlow for stampeding the conven- .tion by subterfuge; denied the charges of secret proceedings and re- fused to permit the reading of the La- toilette platform,
 A majority y/'eport of the platform of the fusion attempt at creating a labor party, was finally prepared to- i day. It represented chiefly the labor party opinion, and members of the committee of AS stood ready, after it's presentation, to serve notice that Sen- ator Lafollette of Wisconsin, generally proposed as the fusion nominee, would not run for president upon it.
 -1n Consequence part of the major ity report was still being held back for endeayer to reconsile the differ. ence s.
 The preamble and two blanks of the majority report were given out. The preamble declared that "the power o1 the government has been stolen from the people" classed the peace confer ence as greedy spectacle;" said the masters of our government league themselves with the money masters o1 other nations to prevent self determin- ation by helpless peoples;" declared that effort is now being made in the United States to "stffle discussion anC keep rights and liberty from Ameri leans;" and announced that into this breach step amalgamated groups o1 men and women who perform useful work with hand and brain."
 l. The first plank, entitled 100 pei cent Americanism," called for repeal o laws against esponage, criminal, syndi calism and sedition and demanded restoration of civil liberties and Am erican doctrines"
 Election of federal judges and es. tablishment of the initiative, referen- dum and recall, the referendum es. pecially applying to war issues, "ex- cept in case of actual military invas- ion," were demanded.

JOE COLLINS DROWNED
 IN LITTLE RIVER TUESDAY
Popular Young Man DrOwns Tues- day Evening While Bathing;
 Body Found Wednesday.

Joe Collins, the 17-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. J. E. Collins of Ashdown, was drowned in Little River, at Pugh branch, IA miles east of here, Tuesday evening at o'clock while in bcthlng, The body was not recovered until 7:SO Wednesday, twelve hours and a half after it had gone down.
 The sad affair occurred while the families of Mir. Collins, Henry sims Lon T. Jones, and Jack Moseley (Vlv- ian, La.) were on the river for two days outing.
 Joe Collins, and his uncle, Lon T, Jones had gone into the river bathing only a few minutes before, and he hao waded out into the deep water that was swift When he started to return he found that he could not swim against the current and reach shallow water, and Mir. Jones told him to go down stream and he would come too. Mr. Jones went to him and had carried him down the river and toward the bank after Joe had almost given out. When within thirty feet of the bank, and in water ten feet deep. Joe made his last effort to swim and sunk like lead, pulling MT. Jones under with him, MT. Jones. was given out and almost drowned and was compelled to give him up and make for land, and pro- bably would not have made it had not Henry Sims jumped into the water and reached him with e long pole. MT. Sims had heard the cries from the struggling men, rushed to the water plunging in after them. It seems that Joe never came to the top of the water again as all of the party had reached the water by this time and no one saw him again, The only thing that was seen was some bubles short distance from where he went down. This was seen by the small son of Jack Moseley.
 As it was then getting dark and no boats on the river the search for the body could not be started immediately. MT. Jones drovc to Ashdown at :. a reckless speed and notified the people and secured a physician to go to the scene as Mrs. Collins was in a very nervous condition,
 Search Begins.
 It was about 9:30 that night when the first of the searching party ar rived, and then they had to make a trip to Yarbrough lake for the first boat, and by that time many more men had gotten there and the search started by. men diving into the water Other parties started in search of more boats and equipment to drag for the body. The boats on the river for several miles were for and rushed to the scene, and motor boat was dispatched from White Cliffs, which is 15 miles by water, and arrived :hortly before daylight
 By midnight over hundred people h; d gotten to the river and dozens o1 mn could be seen out in the water diving to the bottoms feeling for the bo of the boy. Large bon fires were built on the bank and the light

water giving the men light by which to continue their search. The search continued in that way all through the long night, and though it seemed that the recovery of the body was impos- sible. no one cave up the work, Just before daylight a party of men had returned, who had gone down the river several miles and secured a set of crow-foot hooks, strung on 12- foot iron pipe, and with this tied to a motor boat, they drug the bottom of the river for 150 feet without results. Then still not giving up the search and to make thorough one, the drag was pulled behind a skiff over the same hole of water, still without re- suits
 Recovery Locked Doubtful
 It looked that it was impossible for the body to be found, but at this time another scheme was put into use, when the half dozen boats were loaded with
 
 large fish hook tied to the end, began to feel out the bottom of the river for three hundred yards. below Just when the recovery looked the darkest word was heralded up the river from 200 yards below that the body had been found. The clothing had been hooked and the body brought to the top of the water by Ed Philips at 7:3O We'd nesday morning, just twelve and one- half hours after he had been drowned,
 Hundreds Help in Search.
 Everyone that could get to the river there being over hundred men pre- sent during the night, and many were enroute to the scene when they met the automobile bearing the body. re- turning homeward Old time river men from up and down the river were there with all their boats and equip ment, and had joined in the search.
 Words cannot picture the distress ing scene as was on the river that r. .ght. The heart broken mother and father as they remained near the bank praying for the return of thelr boy while the large body of men worked tirelessly and faithfully without a halt all through the nigh., and would hard 1,, fNr of hot t0 i'm ulate them, and this continued until the body was found.
 It was very saddening to think o1 the trigic death of Joe Collins, who was fine young gentleman, one of the most popular boys of Ashdown, with a clean mind and heart, who was ever striving hard for better and higher things. He had only the day before returned from Tyler, Texas where he had been attending a com mercial college, and was enjoying life with the family and friends on little outing, Joe had hundreds of friends and could have numbered them by his acquaintances.
 The funeral was held Thursday af- ternoon at the Baptist church. The services were held by Rev c. s. Wales the pastor of the church, and assisted by the other minister of the town The funeral was attended by one o1 the largest crowds that has ever at. tended funeral here, and it was the most wonderful assortment of flowers that was presented, showing their last tribute to the young man. The pal bearers .were: John Johnston, Jr.

Cannot Praise ssals
Remedy too Highly


Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. F. D. No. 1,
Box 144, Dillon, S. c., must have
been terrible. No one, after read
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
OF PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
letter is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. Here it is: 81 suffered
two years with catarrh of the head,
stomach and bowels. Tried two of
the best doctors, who gave me up.
then took PE-RU-NA and can
truthfdlly say / am well. When
began to use PE-RU-NA, I weighed
one hundred pounds. My weight
now is one hundred and fifty.
Cannot praise PE-RU-NA too
highly, for it was a Godsend to me.
I got relief from the first half
bottle and twelve bottles cured me.
! advise all sufferers to take
PE-RU-NA."
AS an emergency remedy in the
home, there is nothing quite the
equal of this reliable, time-tried
medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands
place their sole dependence on it
for coughs, colds, stomach and

pure and maintain bodily strength
and robustness, take PE-RU-NA.
