Mother, "Soon Does
Its Work."

Marmaduke, Anticipating Of
Thedford's Black Draught, which from
long use In her household has become
regarded as "the family medicine"
Mrs. Mary e. Hill, Of Route l, this
place, says:
When the children get bilious, I
give them a couple Of good doses. and
when we have sour stomach, headache.
or any liver or stomach trouble, we
use Black Draught. 1t is an easy laxa-
tive, and soon does the work. l GER
tainly think it is one of the best rem
edies made"
Black Draught acts on the faded
liver, gently, but positively, and helps
it in it's important function Of throw
ing out waste materials and poisons
from the system.
In thousands Of households Black
Draught is kept handy for immediate
use in time of need. Prompt treatment
often is half the battle, and will often
prevent slight ills from developing in
to serious troubles.
It's well-established merit, during
more than 70 years Of successful use.

effects obtainable by taking Black
Draught for liver and stomach dis
orders. Get a package today, and

POLITICIAN SLAIN
Ex-senator Ed II. Patterson is
Shot by E. o. Harris-Affray
Came as Result of Argument
in Depot at JeIks Station.

jerks, May 20.-Ed H. Patterson
one of the most prominent politicians
of this section of Arkansas, was shot
to death in the depot here at 43O
o'clock this afternoon by Ed Harris
as Patterson was attempting to draw
his revolver after a spirited argu-
ment, according to half a dozen wit
nesses
Patterson and Harris had passed
heated words when suddenly, accord
ing to reports, the former started his
right hand back towards his right hip
pocket. He had not got his gun en-
tirely free of his pocket, according to
witnesses when Harris whipped out
his revolver and began firing Six
shots rang out in rapid succession
Patterson fell and expired within q
few minutes.
Harris telephoned to Sheriff Bill
Wilkes at Augusta, requesting that he
come and take him to the county
seat. Harris is in the custody of the
sheriff, but tonight no charge had
been registered against him.
Patterson was state senator fol
four years, from 1907 to 1911, inclu-
sive. He was a member of one OF
the foremost families in this section
and was highly esteemed. A widow
and four children survive.
Harris is trusted employee of the
Mullins Wholesale Grocery Company
and is a man of family.

MINORITY REPORT POINTS OUT
WEAK SPOTS IN BEL.

In a minority report Just submitted
to the House, Representative Sims Of
the Interstate and Foreign Commit
tee sharply disagrees with the IA
Vorable report on the bill.
THE reasons and arguments pre-
sented at the time the Transporta-
ton Act was under consideration, for
which the six months guarantee was
asked, were that the existing war
made rates, although to be continued,
were not sufficient to meet the neces-
sary requirements Of the carriers,
prior to giving them increased rates
and fares. and that it would in all
probability require six months to
enable the Interstate Commerce Com
mission TO hold necessary hearings
and provide for such increased fares
and rates as were authorized by the
new act. For this reason, and this
reason only the guarantee subsidy
was authorized TO begin with private

Secretary Houston has submitted to
Congress a statement OF advances
already made to individual railroads
under the transportation act covering
partial payments OF the Government
guaranty for the period March /, 1920,
to Sept. 1, 1920. Out of tho aggregate

is alleged that the Pennsylvania and
some of the other systems which bene-
flied by the guaranty gratuity paid
their dividends as usual during that
time, and such payments are not ac-
counted as fixed charges or operating
expenses.
