Benevolence Store
Burned to Ground

|BENEVOLENCE, Ga, July 1.-THE
large general merchandise store of
A. c. Richardson was completely de-
stroyed by fire Tuesday night be-
tween 10 and IL o'clock. Just how
the fire started will always remain a
mystery, as the building was a mass
of flame when discovered. The
store closed about $50 o'clock and
about 10 o'clock the section fore
man saw the fire, coming through the
lot, and gave the alarm. 1t was a
large brick building and was owned
by P. E. Reese. The loss, including
building and stock, was about $4,000
with very little insurance.

organization and no press to go after
them with regard to this matter of
broken faith.
"My idea is that the women voters,
through their various organizations,
should have a flying column of
speakers who could be sent to any
part of the country.
Suppose Congressman Blank, of
Pennsylvania, promised he would
vote for a bill that would get de-
cent conditions for women workers in
the factories. Suppose he didn't do
it. Then that flying column could
be sent into his state to ddress the
women voters in every city, town
and hamlet. They could call atten-
ton to the mans promises and then
contrast them with his actions and
his votes.
ct think you could soon build such
a fire under that man that he would
either change his tactics or prepare
for defeat at the next election.
Members of parliament know the
women of the country have their
eyes upon them. The women are
reading their speeches and noting
measure of the men who will come
to them pleading for their votes in
the next election.
That's what I urge the women OF
America to do-take the measure
of every public servant. If he falls
short of the yardstick, put him out
and put in some one who will do
what the people want
81 don't believe the predictions
that women will be found following
exactly in the political footsteps of
their fathers, brothers, husbands and
sweethearts. ..
"They don't bow down before any
political golden calf; they don't yet
swear by any hackneyed political
shibboleth; they don't wrap them
selves very closely in the folds OF
any party political banner.
Of know some would-be cynics say
women are guided by their feelings
and emotions. But think you will
find more and more as time goes on
that in America and Britain the woin-
en- will disregard old political creeds
and will vote for ideas, for great
moral principles, for men and meas
ures that will bring more sanity,
more health, more cleanliness into
the life of their nation"

jefferson Farmers
Using Land Bank

LOUISVILLE, Ga, July THE
farmers of jefferson county are
making good use of the Federal
Land bank. They have been organ
lied for more than two years and
now the help that they hoped to get
from this fund comes in in a good
time Applications to the amount
of nearly 100000 have been taken
and over $125.000 has been approved
by the officials at Columbit, S. C..
r. G. Price, who is secretary of the
local organization, states that the
prospects of getting proceeds on
these approved loans at an early
date is very promising and if sc
this amount will go a long way to-
ward helping to relieve the stress
under which many a farmer finds
himself.
It is noticeable that the loan COM
panies are now willing to put out
money on real estate. This is quite
different from what It was some
time ago when it was hard to get
any loan on any consideration.

LONDON.-"Time's up, my man.
You've broken your pledges. You've
fought the things we are interested
in. You'll have to pass on and out"
That's what Viscountess Aston,
American-born and the only woman
member of the British parliament,
thinks the women voters Of Britain
and Of America will have to say to
their elected representatives when
they "fall down. on their pledges.
It's not an easy job to interview
Lady Astor. The trouble is that
there are only twenty-four hours in
the day, and all of hers are intense
ly occupied.
I talked with her at one of the
series of political receptions Lady
Astor is giving to representatives OF
various women's organizations and
members of both houses of parlia-
ment, in her home in st. James
square.
In one corner you might see Lord
Robert Cecil, advocate of the League
of Nations, talking with a Hindu
woman leader; over yonder, Arthur
Labor party, holding an animated
argument with a pretty daughter of
England's landed aristocracy.
Nancy Aston may have a title and
palaces and a place in parliament,
but she's the same independent,
plain-spoken woman she always
was. She talks straight United
States.

like the English women now have
full political power, are keenly in
terested in how to use it with in
creasing effectiveness.
Its very simple" she replied.
zone of the ways is for the women
voters to make it clear that po-
litical promise is a. real promise,
and that when it is made, the women
voters, at least, except it to be kept.
"Too often in the past, candidates
for the British parliament, or the
American congress too, very likely,
have made platform pledges which
they forgot right after election.

YOU NEVER CAN
TAME A WILDCAT
Mr.. Dodson Warns Against
Use of Treacherous, DAN
gerous CaIomeI

Calomel salivates! It's mercury
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it. causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy. con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just
go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow be-
sides, it may sallvate you, while If
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
it's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.-(Advt.)
