1926 INDICTMENTS
FOUND IN RANDOLPH
NEARLY ALL FOR MINOR OF
FENSES. YEOMANS MAKES
RECORD IN CASES.

Randolph superior court had very
busy week. The grand jury finished
work on Wednesday, having investi-
gated over 200 cases and returning Us
indictments. Numerous cases of gam
ing, carrying concealed weapons, vio-
lation OF the prohibition law and 9th
err offenses were quickly disposed OF.
Will Davis, colored, charged with as
sault with intent to murder, was &C
Quilted. He is said to have used an axe
upon the head of another negro near
Shellman There were no murder cases
on the docket, a large majority OF the
cases coming under the head OF mis-
demeanors. The trial OF Tom Butler,
white, charged with assault with in
tent to murder, resisting an officer
and possessing whisky, was contin-
ued until December 18th on account
of the illness OF Will Star, a witness.
Judge Yeomans disposed OF 80 cases
in three days, perhaps breaking all
court records. Most OF the
cases were for minor ofenses, and in
cluded numerous pleas OF guilty.

SHELLMAN PECAN CROP
IS SHORTER THAN USUAL
Attribute Small Crop to Case Borer,
A Small Parasite.

The pecan crop in the section sur
rounding Shellman is very short this
year. The reasons for which are not
very clear to the growers. Some at
tribute the short crop to the extreme
cold OF last winter and the late spring,
while others take the view expressed
by some OF the speakers at the Pecan
Growers Association which met III
Cuthbert recently These men, per-
haps, know more about pecans than
any men in the business and the rea-
son they gave for the short crop here
and elsewhere was the pecan case
borer This insect attacks the young
buds and causes crop failure about
every seven years The Albany dis
trict is even harder hit than this. The
government is making every effort to
find a way to combat the pest and
there is not doubt that chemists
will eventually make a poison that
will penetrate the case in which the
insect hides himself.

Help Kidneys
By Drinking
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize Irri-
tatng Acids

Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says noted au-
thoritv. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and inhame, causing burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an lrri-
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig-
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night, The sufferer
in constant dread; the water. passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation and
is very profuse; again, there is dittl-
Guilty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t
because they can't control urination;
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Begin drinking lots OF soft water,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from YOUR pharmacist and take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. Continue this for two or
three DAYS. This will help neutralize
the acids in the system so they no longer
are a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act nor
NAL again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with 1ithia, and is used by
thousands of folks who are subject to
urinary disorders caused by acid lrri-
teton. Jad Salts causes no bad effects
whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink which may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation.
By ali means have your physician exam
inc YOUR kidneys at leas twice ''"'-.

MILKING MACHINE A BOON.
Social Life of New Zealand Farms

New Zealand Letter to the Christian Science
Monitor
striking illustration of the way
in which the use of machinery less
ems drudgery and gives more time
for the amenities of life is provided
by the extensive use of the milking
machine in New Zealand.
Dairying is now the most valuable
industry in the country after sheep
raising, and bids fair to leave that
behind To make a fair income the
dairy farmer must keep a consider
able herd. and the milking of these
cows night and morning, If IL is
done by hand, is long and arduous
task Hired labor is a difficulty, and
in many cases the farmer has de-
pended on the help of his children.
The problem of the child slaves"
of dairy farms has been made ia miliar
to New Zealanders by the reports of
inspectors of schools, who have found
children, tired out by milking before
they come to school, incapable of
doing their lessons. The develop
ment of the milking machine pointed
d way out of this drudgery. The ac-
ton of one OF the rural electric
power authorities in reducing the
charge for current for milking plants
has led the New Zealand Herald to
make an interesting comparison be-
tween the old conditions and the new.
No invention, it says, ever had
warmer welcome.
Milking, which had hitherto been a
drudgery, became almost a delight; it
certainly has a new interest
