TO PROSECUTE POLICE
FOR SLAYING YOUTH

VALDOSTA, Jan. 25.-With a
bullet through his brain for period
of more than twenty eight hours,
Kenneth Register, shot by Motorcy-
Gle Policeman Corley Shaw, Sunday
afternoon, died during last night at
the hospital. Never once did the
young man regain consciousness af-
ter the bullet crashed into his head
and he crulnpled up on the seat of
the automobile where he was sitting
when he is alleged to have pointed a
pistol at the officer, who was stand.
ing on the grounnd. The body was
shipped to the young mans home at
Dupont for interment.
Friends of the dead man and his
family have made 1T vefy plain they
expect to prosecute the officer to the
fullest extent, claiming that Regis
ter had no intention. of shooting the
officer, and that the officer had no
right to go outside the city limits af-
ter Register 'and the party.
Officer. Shaw's friends maintain
that the several 7eye-witnesses will
easily show that the shot was fired in
self defense. The officer has so far
remained in jail at his own request.
1t is understood, however, that well
known firm of lawyers has been EN-.
ployed to represent him.

some teeth into the law of nations.
The stand-patters held up their hands
in horror that anyone should take
such a. practical step to do away with
war.
The world today stands in sore
need of men of the type of Lincoln
and Wilson; and like Washington
and Roosevelt, too. The need is for
men who can see through the sand
storm of short-sighted opinion to the
oasis of achievement beyond.
We want to enlist in the ranks of
our statesmen the strongest men of
the country; men of vision who are
capable of having ideals and are
practical enough to carry them
through. In that way, and only in
that way, can we hope to advance
political endeavor and put it on a
higher plane,
1t is peculiarly fitting that an or
ganization which has for its purpose
the advancement of ideals and the
stimulation of hnselfsh effort in the
service of mankind should be named
after one Of the most prominent ex-
poncnts of practical idealism,
The Woodrow Wilson Foundation
aims to perpetuate the ideals of the
former president. 1t is now engaged
in raising fund of $1,000,000
throughout the country The in
come from this sum will BE used to
provide awards which will be given
periodically for distinguished service
to democracy, public welfare, liberal
thought cor peace through justice.
Tie foundation provides a needed
Stimulation to participation in mat
ters governmental and international,
H should serve to attract to the
field of political endeavor the best
men of the country and to provide
an incentive for effort of this kind.

Sees PRESIDENT

EFFORT TO HELP
Wannamaker Calls Affair Cut
And Dried, And Charges Plan
To Break Farmers Bloc

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Cover
nor Parker, of Louisiana, departed
from his prepared address before the
national agricultural conference to-
day to take notice of the discomfort
which is expressed in some quarters
over the manner in which the con-
| ference delegates were elected. De-
claring he believed the president and
Secretary Wallace really wanted to
help agriculture in calling the con-
ference, Governor Parker said, yet
| you hear it whispered all around that
this is hand-picked, cut and dried and
lpre-formed hope there is no foun-
dation whatever in chat rumorn
He reused the conference to great
applause when he called on the dele
gates to put the welfare Of the ma
ton above every other consideration.
The first signs of differences in the
conference appeared after the defeat
yesterday Of motion by ]. S. Wana-
maker, of South Carolina, for ap-
pointment of committee on reso-
lutions. This motion was defeated
on the ground that the committees
already appointed were expected to
lconsider resolutions.
Mr.. Wanamaker issued a formal
statement later, attacking the con-
ference and declaring "abeut all the
farmers and farm leaders have to
| di in this conference is TO shake
hands with the president, meet some
official dignitary and partake of
/ little ice cream and cake and then
| go home"
Selection of committees has been

maker said, cas- to suggest that

reason is pain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
a medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, TO those who are in nsed of it.

example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years

suits, as many Of my customers testify

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
