Committee Favors
Frank A. Linney for
Dis Attorney

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Favor-
able report by the senate judiciary
committee on the nomination of
Frank A. Linney, Republican state
chairman of North Carolina, to be
United States district attorney for
the western district of his state,
appeared assured today following
hearing by a subcommittee of the
views of white and negro Republicans
of North Carolina.
The subcommittee hearing of yes
terday behind closed doors, it was
learned today, resulted in virtual
agreement between opponents ana
supporters of Linney. Negro Re
publicans of North Carolina opposed
the nomination of the state chairman
because of a letter sent out under
his signature during the last cam
paign promising the women voters OF
the state a white" government in
event of Republican success at the
polls. Supporters of Linney at the
hearing were said to have testlt1ed
. that the letter in question was not
written by the chairman and was
sent out without his knowledge, he
being i'll at the time. This explana-
ton was understood to have received
the approval of the negro delegation
and before the close of the hearing
they were said to have virtually with
drawn their opposition to the noml-
nation.
The subcommittee, Of which Sena-
tor Ernst, Republican, Kentucky, is
chairman. has not held a formal
meeting to decide on it's report, but
it was forecast today that the report
would be favorable to confirmation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Is
Major General Peter c. Harris, a ma

next week, to attend the state meet

Harris also is expected to inspect
Camp Benning on his visit to the

1t Is probable that General Harris

The clerk was dismissed by order

The adjutant generals office had
the largest single record in the world.
and the volume of business Handled
surpassed that of any other admin

It's correspondence during the war
was almost ninety-five times as great
as that handled in normal times, and
although there has been some dimu-

excess Of any previous peace-time
demands. An instance IS cited by
General Harris, who said 925,93O
pieces of mail were received during
the fiscal year 1916. while S7,616,242

DODSON WARNS
CALO|NEL USERS
It's Mercury! Attacks the
Bones, Salivates and
Makes You Sick

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when a few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomel. 30.
1t Is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as ca1omel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calome1 is dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
days work. Take a spoonful of Dod-
sons Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts
better than horrible calomel your
money is waiting for you.-(Advt)

his duty, to see that officers get in
immediate touch with the situation
and take whatever precautionary
measures are advisable.
THE financial condition of the
state will not now permit, but as
adequate funds provided, a state
constabulary should be established.
Such a constabulary should be sub
ject to the orders of the chief execu-
tive, not only in cases of emergency,
but for the enforcement of all the
states criminal laws. Much could
. be done by a governor through this
agency to, check all forms of crime,
and especially could the violation of
the prohibition laws be greatly
curbed. Such force. could also
compel the payment Of automobile
license fees and thus increase the
states revenues. Many sheriffs are
wholly derelict in their duties in this
respect. The law establishing such
police force should, of course,
guard against it's becoming a politi-
cal machine in the hands of the
comp1ished. Many of the other
states have already established
such constabularies and where SO
established they have ben found eff
ficient and wonderfully helpful.
"A method should be provided S
one composed Of citizens selected
from all sections Of The state, under
proper rules, regulations and safe
guards, and aided and assisted by a
Special prosecuting attorney, might
make a full and complete investiga-
ton into the crime, and have au-
thority to return presentments
against those participating in the
mob violence. Those thus indicted
should be tried at such a place as
would be most conducive to the as
certaining of the truth, and before a
traverse jury likewise drawn from
the entire state. While this is dras--
tic, still I submit that the nature of
the offense aaginst the sovereignty,
peace, order and dignity of the state
is such as to warrant those meas
ures."
