DANGER SIGNAI {
Of INDIGESTION
The Disease That Strikes Like
Lightning

Beware of indigestion-th dis
ease that kills more people and
kills them quicker than any other.
This warning. by physicians, is par
ticularly applicable this season of
/ the year, when your system "lets
down" in tone and vigor with the
first approach of warm weather.
What are the warnings that ma
ture gives YOU of the approach of
indigestion? The medical books tell
us: /. Gas, which means that your
food is fermenting instead of di-
costing. 2. A feeling of fulIness or
oppression in the region of the stom-
ach after eating. This means that
the gas has, ballooned your stom-
ach and is pressing up against your
heart and lungs. 3. A dull, lazy
feeling. which means that you are
not getting the nourishment from
what you are eating. a. Restlessness,
unreffeshing sleep, which means
that the poisons of indigestion are
disturbing your brain and nerves.
5. Sometimes, pain and fluttering

Don't take chances with indiges-

THAT is up to yOu," said Henry,
with a dissgreeable grin, whereup-

QUOTES JUDGE JONES
evils of Mob Have Almost
Bodndless Sweep" He De-
clares In Address

ATHENS, June 19.--Col. A. R.
Lawton orator of the University
of Georgia, delivered a significant
address here today GA "The Negro
in the South and Elsewhere. ,
Standing for the highest tradition;
Or racial integrity he, nevertheless
faced frankly many conditions
that need remedying and made a
powerful plea for justice for the
even the humblest member Of So
ciety.
The following are significant
extracts from the address:
''The terms race pride and race
instinct do not primarily carry
imputation of discredit charan-
teristics; but, not etymologically
but in common speech, the term
race prejudice does, and when ]
use it it will be with the intention
of conveying that meaning"
1T is not race pride or race in
stinct, but race predjuice sugment-
ed by want of character that
brings to the negro injustice as
between man and man. If I yield
ed to a natural reluctance to ad-
init distasteful truths / could not
conceal from you the tendency far
too frequent with far too many
individuals to deal unfairly in
business transactions with the
negro because he is helpless. It is
manifested in some shop-keepeTs
particularly those who give creCl
It\ NTH +boS,,'
dealings with negro tenants. 1t is
to an appreciate degree more diff
ficult for a negro than for a white
man to obtain justice in some of
our courts, whether on the civil or
the criminal side. l do not believe
that our judges are subject to this
criticism"
ut is not race instinct but race
prejudice augmented by more re-
prehensible traits that bring to
the negro discourteous rudeness,
contemptuous insult and corporal
i'll treatment. The white mans
claim of superiority may be read
lily refuted by the manner in which
he asserts it. Insulting another or
wounding his feelings is always to
be condemned, but never more so
than when it.scomes from super
Tor to an inferior. A gentleman
should be more careful of the
feelings and sensitiveness of one
below him than of his equal or his
superior. A negro dare not insult
a white man. Fear restraints him.
A more commendable spirit should
restrain the white man from dar-
ing to insult or maltreat the negro.
Let him clare do all that may be-
come a man"-remember that
''who dares do more is none"
Discussing lynching Col Lawton,
quoted with approval the following
from Hon. Joseph G. Jones, an
Alabama Jurist:
What white race is superior
and yields the power of govern
ment. The negro has practically no
part in it. The laws are made by
white men. White men preside in
the courts, White men sit upon The
juries. The danger is not that &
guilty negro will escape punish
ment at the hands of the law, but
that in many instances the innocent
may meet with unjust punishment
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-06-19

The pretext that the criminal will
not receive justice, if the law is
allowed to take its course, is who'll
ly wanting.
1.-THE evils of the mob have al
most boundless sweep in all the re-
lations of life. Can any man, in the
widest flight of the brain, picture
Robert E. Lee or John B. Gordon,
no matter what the charge against
the criminal, joining mob to
break down Jail, and taking a
prisoner out to hang him? Why
not? Because they are types of
c courage and honor, and justice and
We neration for law, and all these
cry out against such an act. No
man who forms a part of the flood
of pioss ion and cowardice which
storms a Jail and murders de-
fenseleSsi prisoner, is ever again
the same moral being. Then and
there human tiger is born. He

the discovery that his proudest viz

as extraordinary. AS if nature

ance.
In spite of the fact that he was
impulsive, headstrong, swift in
most things, this girl possessed the
unique faculty Of rendering him
acutely self-conscious, and it an
noyed him the more, therefore, to
find how timorous he could be in
putting her feelings to the test
