 BLACK-DRAUCHT
West Virginia Man Says He Hadn't Been Taking Black Draught a Week Until His
 Pain Was Gone.

Huntington, w. Va.-Mr. Thomas Radcliffe (R. F. D. 4, Box 100), in talking about Thedford's Black Draught, says that he wouldn't swap it for any medicine I know of for torpid liver"
 q am now 6S years old," says Mir. Radcliffe. q have been taking Black Draught as a liver regulator for about twelve years.
 q remember very distinctly when I first began taking it. had a severe pain in my left side and under my shoulder. It would catch me and I couldn't straighten. It hurt me to breathe. I would have headache.
 Some one told me to take Black Draught and I did. Do you know, 1 hadn't been taking Black-Draught a week till that pain was gone? I was better than I had been in long time.
 When l get bilious, headache, or dizzy, take BlackDraught. It is all right. I recommend it."
 There are thousands of other men who would not swap Black Draught for any other liver medicine.
 That is the reason why the sale of Thedford's Black-Draught has steadily increased for eighty years, until more than ten million packages are now sold per year.

LIBRARY FIGHT
 WEARS DECISION
Park Board Meets Today To Take Action On
 Site


 The park board will meet at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning to act finally on the proposal to use Woodrow Wilson park as site for Birmingham s $65O, ,OO0 public library.
 At meeting Tuesday afternoon, the library board drew up formal request for the use of the site and will present it to the park board at Wednesday s session. Commissioner W. L. Harri- son, board chairman, will lead the fight for the park site, while M. P. Phillips will lead the opposition. A close vote is looked for.
 The board at it's last meeting voted unanimously to concur in the findings of Olmsted Brothers, its architects. which opposed the use of the park site. However, a motion to reconsider this action will open the meeting Wednes- day.
 Belief prevails that Lewis Bowen will support Harrison and that Elmer Thurston will support Phillips In this event. Mrs. Charles J. Sharp, the fifth member of the board, will cast the de- ciding vote. It is not known whether she has decided to change her previous vote against the site.
 Commissioner Harrison explained that the boards previous action was merely informal, as at that time no formal request for the site had been received from the library board.
 T feel," said Harrison, "that unless the park site is granted, the library board will find it extremely difficult to erect its new building any time in the near future. Believing that the best interests of the city will be. served by placing the library in the park, shall fight to turn the site over to the library officials"

TRIAL TO BE DROPPED

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Sept. B. Special )-Impeachment proceedings instituted against Guy V. O'Rear as sheriff of Walker county will be dis continued as a result of his resignation from office. Attroney General Harwell G. Davis when asked tonight as to the effect of the resignation pointed out that the sole purpose of impeach- ment proceedings, is to remove the per son proceeded against from office.

Between 1,500 and 2000 Birming- ham families, will be installed, or will be trying to be installed, in new homes by this time next week. At least that number are expected to be affected in the city's banner moving season, un- precedented because of the immense amount of construction this year.
 Out of these 2O0O odd families statisticians estimate that 429 will for get to notify the post office of their change in address; 337 will neglect warning the telephone company about it; 801 will be out of luck when it comes time to find something to move in 625 will have trouble with the water faucets in their new locations {; 7S9 will forget to notify the butcher. milkman, grocer, ct al; 1000 odd will bury some article Tn their packing that they will need first in their new home.
 In view of these circumstances it might be well to go over a few of the following "don't's". which have been complied by veteran movers. Don't wait until you are packed to place an order for a moving van. Trans fer companies report heavy demand this fall and you may not be able to get a truck when you want it.
 Don't rely on picking up" a truck. They'll all be busy.
 Don't fool yourself that packing is an easy job, begin early.
 Don't wait until you are moved to test out the water, gas, and electricity in your new place.
 Don't pack without any system. Remember you can't unpack in ten min utes and the necessities of your house. hold should be placed where they are the easiest to obtain.
 Don't forget about the telephone.
