PENSION MONEY
COMING SHORTLY
Tells OF Efforts of Foreigners
TO Undermine Constitution By
Attacks on 18th Amendment

That the pension money due the
old veterans of Sumter and large
number of other Georgia counties
will probably be paid before the Rich
mond reunion in June, rs the word
that has come from Governor Hard
wick, who must sign the treasury
warrant. A letter from the COVER
nor to B. F. Brimberry, of Albany,
has been sent to Captain Joe Day
Stewart, of Americas, commander
of the Western Brigade, for the in
formation of the veterans. The let
ter follows;
'Hon B. F. Rrimberry, adjutant,
u. C. ", Albany, Ga. Ny Dear Mr..
Brimberry: | have your letter Of
May 8 ana have carefully noted its
contents. In reply | beg to state
that it is my earnest desire and inten-
ton to pay the balance Of the pen
sions due at the earliest possible
time. hope and believe this can be
done within thirty days. The pay
ment, of course, depends upon the
condition of the state treasury. We
are making every effort to expe-
dite this payment as much as possi-
Bile. With assurance of high regard
| am sincerely yours,
"THOS. w. HARDWICK,
Governor.
atlanta, May 10, 1922"
Inasmuch as many of the veterans
will need their pension money to as
sist them in making the trip to Rich
mond, the governors announcement,
although indefinite, will prove of In
terest to all of them. The benefit
last week at the Rylander theater
provided $233.5O, according to pres
ent check-up. and Capt H. d. Watts
camp commander, says some dona.
tions have been promised which have
not yet been received but which will
be needed, these being sufficient, if
received, to bring the fund up tc
$500. "Some said they would make
donations without buying tickets tC
the benefit" said Capt. Watts, 'and
we hope these will make good THEN

 The Maroons opened with a 40 yard drop kick in the first perioc and clinched the game when Harry Thomas, a brother of Johnny, raced across for a touchdown in the clos ing minutes of the game after the fighting Illini' had three times held for downs inside on their own five yard line.
 Chicago was clearly superior ali ter getting warmed up and carried the ball to Illinois 2S yard line. Here the Illini line stiffened, but Lloyd Rorke dropped back and booted a perfect drop kick.
 From this point Illinois turned back the Chicago battering ram by vic ious tackling and close attack at the center of the line.

TOO MUCH MEAT
 HURTS KIDNEYS
Take a glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys if bladder bothers
 you.

Eating too much meat may produce kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid excites the kid neys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region: rheumatic twtnges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and UT mary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimu- late them to~,normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so that it no longer irritates. thus often ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; 1; makes delightful effervescent lithia water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus often avoiding ser ious kidney disorders.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 10. lse2.
SAM. JAKE. AND THE RECORD

Thirty-one years ago. Samuel and
Jacob 1t. small merchants starting
in Philadelphia. carried a little eight
inch. single column ad round to the
Philadelphia Record. They had 4
little fifty-foot front store. They
kept their ads in The Record and
worked hard, and they never forgot
to carry the ads over to the morning
paper. As they found it paid and rs
their business increased they took big
ads. not only in the Record, bu; in
the other city papers.
The other day Lit Brothers had an
anniversary celebration and they had
eight solid pages of advertising in
The Record. Their little store has
grown until il now embraces the
whole square in which it started and
is now one of the largest department
stores in the world. Samuel and
Jacob Lit have evidently built their
business upon character plus energy.
OF them The Record says:
Every day during the past 81
years Lit Brothers and ''The Record"
have been friends, and the friends Of
"The Record have in large numbers
contributed as patrons of the store
to its wonderful growth and reputa-
ton. The founders of Lit Brothers
who started in such small way are
not only great merchants, but are
Justly known as two of Philadelphia s
best citizens. The success they have
obtained offers another proof of the
certainty of prosperity under con-
sistent efforts backed by integrity
and fair dealing"

Police as Money-Getters
(From Carolina Banner)

"When a police force, rural, city
or what not, becomes an agency for
bringing in money fines, or a source
of revenue, rather than corrective
force-a force whose first duty is
vigilance for the prevention of crime
it loses the respect not only of the
law breaker but of the law abiding
citizen as we'll"
We found this observation in a
South Carolina newspaper the other
day, and il is worth passing along
for il is entirely correct. The point
is that when a police force becomes a
bureau of machine through which the
offender is licensed, he looks upon II
as such. He is more willing to take
chance, arguing that in all proba-
bility he will get away with his in
fraction of the law, but if he does
happen to get caught he knows before
hand just what it will cost him.
The ambition of some officers is tt
see how much they can raise in the
way of fines, or how much they can
through their operations, turn into
the treasury. They become so OBJ
sessed with their Importance as fl
nancial success that they are highly
Objectionable to the easy going citi

and who tries to obey the laws.
