CALOMEL LOSING
 OUT IN SOUTH
MT. Dodson, the "Liver Tone" Man, Responsible for Change
 for the Better.

Every druggist in town has mo- ticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking it's place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it." Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle doesn't cost very much but if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and con stipation, just ask for your money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no bill iousness, sick headache, acid stom- ach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause in conven- fence all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel to- day and tomorrow you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don t lose a day. *tf

Mott proved by Finney's own witnesses that money had been collected on the lair grounds to be voted for Mott, but that through corrupt practices these votes had been cast tor Finncy.

 The child wife was placed in GUS tody of J. B. Burks, by circuit Judge Luck of Pennington, following her acquittal of charge of murdering her siX-year- stepdaughter, Lillie Parsons, whom she shot March 4. The verdict was the shooting was accidental
 Judge Huck, in remanding her to MT. Burks' custody, said he felt she
 was entitled to the care of the |state. Yesterdays decision by Judge Huck exceeded his authority ir taking this action.

 He was wearing blue shirt and his underwear when taken from the river.

to the conclusion that perhaps the Volstead act is being violated, and, like real sleuths Of the Nick Car ter type, it is said they can be seen trailing the cows and pigs into the fastness of the mountains.
 The sequel to the loss of the pigs and COW came from one of the remote districts in the form of an interrogation to a local paper, ask ing if the last legislature had en- acted law that would compel the owners and operators of still to surround such places with heavy barbed wire It was alleged that candidates for the legislature had promised they would do this. The complaint stated that pigs in other localities get ''hog drunk and run into the creek and drown them selves"
 It is believed, however, by those who favor law enforcement, that, if the "revenooers" do not lose sight of the pigs and cows that more stills may be found and the propoga- tion of blue -blooded and blue ribbon winners can go forward without fear of further decrease in either the morals of stock or the county $ natural history census.

WOULD COMPEL SINNERS
 TO FENCE IN THEIR STILLS

Hot Springs, June 30.-The fav- orite outdoor sport for visitors these days is watching the revenue off cials watch bleary-eyed cows and wobbly pigs as they leave their habitat and steer a course, winding but true, to their favorite mash.
 The reader may wonder why the bovines and the porkers are in a state of intoxication on the way to stills, but that can he explained by citing both geological and natural history, the sharpshooters of which affirm that the anatomy of cows and pigs, not being copper lined like humans, the hold over" is cer- tain to manifest itself the morning after the night before. In other words, a man might tank up the same as in the days of yore and while feeling little to the bad. . still retain his underpinnings and get to work. Not so with cows and pigs.
 Thus far Garland county has lost what is considered valuable litter of pigs and one equally valuable COW. Both perished because of inn bibing to much moonshine. The news has become general through out the city and is the subject of gossip in hotel and boarding house circles. In fact, it has aroused so much comment that visitors are finding real enjoyment in their strolls over the city and nearby mountain paths in spotting cows and pigs in search of the famous mountain brew.

 The officers said they left Little Rock late Monday night in quest of large moonshine still which they had been informed was operating near Fcrndale. They said they ar rived at the still at 2 o'clock yester- day morning, and found the ashes under the boiler still warm. Hid ing, the officers waited until short ly after 6 o'clock, when they say Dry and Oglesby appeared Each carried, a t10 gallon, keg, the officers say
 The still was fired and soon was in operation, according to the of ficers. who say they watched Dry and Oglesby at work. The officers then advanced and ordered the pair to throw up their hands. Oglesby complied, but Dry, the officers say, ran to clump of bushes. The of- ficers then fired.
 An improvised sMetcher was con structed and the officers carried Dry to his home, a distance of more than mile. Before leaving the of ficers destroyed the still and 750 gallons of mash. Physicians were called and Oglesby was left to at tend Dry. Both men were arrested and were released on their own recognizances.
 The still was constructed of cop per and had capacity of 100 gal Ions per day. The still, according to the officers, bore evidence that it has been in use for more than a year. The officers said they had reasons to believe that 200 gallons of completed liquor was slowed in the vicinity of the still, but they did not take time to hunt for it.

Such policy mas resulted in the creation of bitter enemies and the making of warm friends. To my friends let me say that your aid and support have represented the balance of power between success and failure and have been responsible for pulling me through the quagmires and quick sands of most eventful and inter testing career in journalism. And to those of the opposition who have hung around on street corners and parked their whining notes of dis approval and criticism, let me say lthat newspaper progress and pros lperity is based upon just such ele- ments. No man ever succeeded with out first having been inoculated with the virus of opposition. The man who always follows the lines of least resistance will not, in all probability, inherit the opposition of these mud-sill limitations of citi- zenship. but neither will he attract | the attention of the men who do things in a big way

The newspaper is just as important as the bank, just as Important as the churches, and just las important as the mercantile es- Establishments.
