The Very Next Dose of this
TreaCherous Drug may
Start Trouble

You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken-
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
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 a few
cents which is a, harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn't
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty
calo1nel and without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day: it loses you
days work. Dodsons Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you
feel great. No salts necessary. Give
it to the children because it is per-

Watermelons Among
Farm T Products Touched
In Freight Rate Cut
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau.
+, 623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. IA
At the Interstate commerce commits
sion today Senator Harris made GER
tain that the recent freight rate re-
luction of 10 per cent on agricul-
tural products would include Geor-
gia watermelons this year. The an
nounced reduction referred to incl
ons' but did not plainly include wa
termelons.
The commissions officials inform
ed Mr. Harris that the reduced rate
includes watermelons, and Senator
Harris estimates that this will mean
next summer an average saving of
$40 per car on shipments of Geor-
gia melons to the north and east.
The fight last year for reduc-
ton on freight rates on watermel-
ons and other perishable products
OF the southeast was unsuccessful.
between members of the Georgia
delegation with railroad officials
and the interstate commerce conn
mission. The railroads commended
that profiteering in the eastern and
northern markets was causing more
trouble than freight rates!
Senator Harris said today that
the 10 per cent cut was not as much
tinue to press the matter before the
commission and the railroads. The
Georgia senator advised Secretary
Parish, of the Southwest Georgia
Watermelon Growers association, at

HOG is ANIMAL TO "PULL
OK OUT OF THE DITCH"

hog will appeal to all fanciers of
high.claSS porkers.
II consider him the best boar 1
ever produced and one that will
make his impression upon the Duroc
breed wherever he goes" DR.. Fits
is quoted in The Farmer and Stock
man. HE is breed builder beyond
question, as his progeny will show
in coming years. Out Of his first
crop Of pigs, won junior champion
ship at the Kentucky state fair. He
stands ID inches high, symmet.
rical from end to end, not a scratch
on his hide, wide open eyes, deep red
in color, not "a black hair, deep
sides, carrying evenness all the way
through, standing on the best legs
and feet ever saw, weighing in
two-year.old form 500 pounds after
his hardships at Chicago"
Some hog this Willetta's Wood
lawn King, say.
Small wonder that the razor-back
breed Of "Piney-woods" fame is
doomed to oblivion in southeast
Georgia.
Fed ON Fish
A considerable, part Of Nantahala
farm is salt water marsh land, as
might be inferred from its close
proximity to the ocean, and that fact
is one of the big natural advantages
it enjoys for the production of hogs.
The porkers feed on fish, and are
fed on fish.
The tides that overflow the low
marsh lands leave deposits Of
shrimp, crab and other kinds of sea
food, and Mr.. Brown is authority for
the statement that his herd of hogs
will desert the most carefully pre-
pared feed stuff to "graze and root
for shrimp after the tide goes out"
about twice a week we catch 200
pounds or more of fish in nets, and
these are fed to.the hogs" said Mr..
Brown. ''They like the diet i'm
mensely, and it fattens them. A hog
requires q certain amount Of tank
age, and tankage, in certain circum-
stances, is expensive. The fish cost
practically nothing and eliminate
the necessity for tankage. 1t is an
interesting but no unusual sight to
see the hogs following the ebb tide,
devouring fresh fish of all sorts "

M|STR|AL DECLARED
IN LANCASTER CASE

/ HAMILTON, Ala, Jan. 14.-Fol-
lowing the declaration of a mistrial
in the case of Sergeant Robert Ian.
caster, Alabama national guard, on
a charge Of murder growing out of
the lynching Of William Baird, coal
miner, a year ago, late today the
cases of eight other guardsmen also
charged with murder in the same
case, were continued until the regu.
lar term of the Marion county cir
cult court, which begins the fourth
Monday in April. Bond for the ac-
cused soldiers was fixed by judge
A. E. Gamble at $4,000 each.
Horace c. Wilkinson, special pros
ecutor, admitted that Lancaster was
entitled to bond in view of the fact
that his case has twice resulted in a
mistrfal, but resisted the release of
the other guardsmen on, bail. When
his objection was overruled he re-
served the right to appeal to the
supreme court for a writ Of pro-
hibition to prevent the release Of
the defendants.
Inability Of the jury to agree on
verdict in the case of Lancaster was
reported after more than twenty
hours elaboration. This is the
third time he has faced a Marion
county jury in connection with the
Baird killing. The first trial re-
suited in a mistrial, and the second
trial was continued.
When the order declaring a mis-
trial was entered, the youthful SOL
der smiled and rubbed his hands,
his bride, who has been by his side
throughout the trial, patted him on
the arm and his aged father grasped
him by the hand. Lancaster is a
member Of Company M, and his
home is at Tuscaloosa. He, with
the other accused guardsmen, were
on strike duty when Baird was
taken from the Walker county Jail
at Jasper and shot to death. Baird,
a striking miner, was charged with
killing member Of Company M
during the coal strike. The case
was taken to Marion county on
