nam, was fined $500 and costs and
0mer Bernier also Of Putnam, was
fined 500 and costs when they were
arraigned before Justice Of the peace
Walter j, Dryden at the Pomfret
Town House, Saturday morning, the
charge against each man being that
Of having intoxicating liquors with
intent to sell. Attorney Arthur s.
Macdonald represented Williams,
while Attorney Archibald Macdonald,
Jr, appeared on behalf of Bernier.
The lawyers appealed to the court in
behalf Of their clients, saying that
neither was a bootlegger and were
repentant Of what they had done
The case was prosecuted BY Grand
Juror John Ash, assisted by Attorney
John F. Carpenter.
Officer Keith Makes Arrests
Court was informed that Williams
and Bernier were aeeosted by State
Police Officer Keith at Abingdon 4
week ago Saturday night, on the ee-
casion of the opening of the new
Abingdon dance hall. They were ae-
cused of disposing of liquor to pa
irons Of the affair. The practice was
deplored by Grand Juror Ash and ne
declared that il would be stamped
out if If was a possibility, and that
police would be constantly on the
watch at all times for such law break
ers.
Justice Dryden expressed powerful
convictions on the subject, declaring
that the men then before him were of
thinking age, knew what they were
doing, realized their actions were in
violation Of the law, and were. there
fore, subject to stiff fines. He be
lieved that the maximum fine of 5000
was not too much to impose.
Suggests Lenieney
Attorney Carpenter suggested that
there was a degree of difference in
guilt between the two men, and that
therefore Bernier, whom he said had
just happened to get mixed up in the
affair, should not be dealt with SO Sc
verely.
Justice Dryden accepted his sug-
gestion and imposed the $500 fine on
Williams and 500 on Bernier. Both
men paid fines and costs. the latter
amounting to about $50 in each case.

BLOCS AND SECTION
 FIGHTS DEPL0RED
Harding Wants Whole Country
 Working for Good of All

Augusta, Ga, April 7.--Domestic affairs of the nation are greatest con- cern and the nation should guard against the development of classes and the orga nization of blocs. according to President Harding. The chief ex- ecutive expressed these views at a dinner given in his honor by Augusta citizens last night.
 Tonight the presidential party will leave for Washington where the pres ident will take up his official duties after his vacation in the south.
 Appeals to South.
 His speech last night took the form of an appeal to the people of the south. He deplored, he said any for nation of blocs in the republic. Tn the course of his remarks which cov- cred a variety of topics he asserted that he did not believe there was d yestige of the sectionalism of the Civil war left in the United States.
 Touching upon the international af- fairs of the union he said that the country's international affairs were in better shape than ever before and predicted that in time those persons who think America is not doing jus tice toward European nations will find that America after all is the most just nation in the world"
 Several of the local speakers who preceded the president invited him to establish 'the winter White House" in Augusta, and MT. Harding prefaced his address by saying that he would take this winter White House under consideration adding that he liked the atmosphere of Augusta.
 Different Opinions.
 The president spoke in part as follows:
 Different constructions of the con- stitution are inevitable amid the best of intentions. believe the framing of the constitution was inspired; believe it was Gods intent and vet there was an ambiguity In this con- stitution that brought the north and south together in great Civil war and that ambiguity had to be wiped out at great cost: and yet again this is one of the best things that has ever happened to the American re- public because it has brought us to a greater understanding. I want to say now. don't believe there is a yestige of the Civil war feeling left in the United States. I spoke last year to an assemblage of Confederate veterans. I never had such . cor dial reception in my life.
 A gentleman called upon me very shortly after my arrival in Augusta to request my participation in a cer- tain affair and he said We want to show you we are not sectiona, in Georgia any more---we have forgot. len 50 odd years ago when we were n the war I said: My dear man I know that better than you because I

HELP KIDNEYS BY DRINKING
 MORE WATER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys md Help Neytralize lrritat-
 ing Acids.

Kidney and bladder irritations often result from acidity, says a noted au- thority, The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder. where it may remain to irritate and inflame. causing Il burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night The sufferer is in constant dread; the water passes sometimes with q scald- ing sensation and is very profuse: again, there is difficulty in voiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they cant control trina tion. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a teaspoonfu in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the sys- tenn so they no longer are n source of irritation to the bladder and uri- nary organs, which then act normal again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by acid irritation. lad Salts causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have pleasant, efferves- cent Whitewater drink which may quickly relieve your bladder irrita- ton. By all means have your physi- clan examine your kidneys at least twica a year.

am in position to judge and I am happy 10 say there is far more sec- tionalism in other places today than that drawn by lines between the states.
 'I am sorry there is any anywhere. There ought not to be any sectional- ism anywhere in the United States. Government is not promoted by class or sectionalism, government is the manifestation Of the common veal of the republic. Governments are inter- ested in farmers because our good for tune rests in the farms, whether 1t Is the grain producers Of the north or the cotton producers of the south. Governments are not interested in railroads because they are interested in the capitalistic class. Governments are interested in railroads because they are essential service to the well fare of the public. The government Is not interested in the service men who were in the war because of the politi- cal power they possess. The govern ment is interested in the service man, and the crippled ones in particular be- cause it Is a matter of honor for this government to care for them.
 This particular administration of the government was not interested ih a merchant marine merely to promote the interest of those engaged in ship ping or to become engaged in ship ping but the government was interest ed to create agencies for American commerce and to esta ablish system in the event we were ever forced into war again.
 Governments can only be interest ed in things that come of the com- mon veal and if it is ever destroyed 1t is because we show excessive interest in certain things"
