Tennessee Lumberman Talks of His Successful Use of Black -Draught
 for Colds and Headaches.

Jamestown, Tenn.-"I have used Thedfords Black Draught for years, in fact it is the only liver medicine that does me any good says MT. l.. A. Ragan, a well-known lumberman of this place. When 1 was single, used 1t for headaches, and especially if get cold and feel feverish, take good dose of Black-Draught, and 1t sets me right.
 Since I have been married, have used it in my family, and never have found its equal for torpid liver or dis arranged stomach, especially with children. l can recommend Black Draught, and gladly do so.'
 Every member of the family occa. sionalfy needs the assistance that Black -Draught can give, in helping to cleanse the system and relieve or pre- vent the troubles that come from a lazy, torpid liver.
 If your liver is not doing its duty, you may suffer with headache, consti- patton, biliousness, indigestion, etc. Unless relief is obtained serious sick ness may result. In it's long and suc- cessful use. ThedfordS Black-Draught has been found in thousands of cases to relieve such disorders, by stimulat- ing the liver to do it's important work.
 Ask for Thedford's Black-Draught, and insist on the genuine. NC137

Belfast, Sept. 17.-The crack Of
rifle fire again resounded throughout
the night in the We're street district,
where considerable sniping took place.
A boy was wounded and a man bay

London, Sept. 17.-All Britain look

Premier Lloyd George, who can either
open wide or slam, shut the door TO

The general feeling throughout the
United Kingdom was that the week
end would definitely make or break
peace in Ireland, and since both Ea-
mon de Valera and the British prime
minister have set forth their posi-
tions in voluminous correspondence,
it was believed they would be in 9
position to get together with their

telegram of yesterday by reissulng
the invitation to new peace con,

1t appeared certain that the next
twelve hours would decide the whole
question one way or the other, the
premier himself having declared en-
phaticaly a week ago that "this cor

What Is Wrong With Liquor Law?

Alexandria ''drys" and "wets" have
a mutual interest in the record which
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes to-
day ordered all Of his State Direc-
tors to compile. He wants to know
what is wrong with liquor law en-
forccment. If he can find out. it is
his purpose to lay the record before
the American people. He thinks that
something is radically out Of gear IN
matters of enforcement in practically
every state, and he is determined to
find out what is loose in the machin-
cry. That something is loose. he IS
fully convinced. He does not seem
to know what it is, but the fact re-
mains that the Folstead law, is not
being accepted throughout the coun-
try in the manner, desired by the FED
cral prohibition authorities.
Mr.. Haynes is disturbed over the
way juries are acjuitting offenders ar
raigncd under the Foistcad law. He
finds that whatever his agents may do
there always exists the strong proba-
hiiity that iurics will fail to convict.
His record today showed an amazing
" low percentage Of convictions in
the cases presented by District At
torncys. There also is believed to be
great Iaxity among law cnforcers, and
it is his purpose to correct this fault
in the administration. if it is possible.
Mr.. Haynes sent out question
naire which will bring back the most
complete stack Of data ever compiled
to show Just how the American people
feel about prohibition. His questions
touch every angle of prohibition en-
forcement, and go minutely into the
decentralization in matters Of rum. He
is determined to go to the bottom of
the situation. He had demanded that
full answers be forthcoming immedia-
teiy, with respect to inefficiency and
other factors, weighing against dry
law success.
