use of Thedford's Black-Draught:
II have been a user of Black

This would cause pains in my back
and limbs. I also took Black
Draught for indigestion.
''I would get up mornings, feeling
SO dizzy, just like I would tumble
on my head, and after a few doses
of Black Draught, this would be
gone. 1t relieved indigestion and
constipation, and would make me
feel like new.

Draught.
my wife takes Black Draught,
too, for constipation. 1t is a good
medicine"

C, 0, P. STRIKES
AT RELIGION
AS VOTE ISSUE
Second Warning Against
Appeal to Prejudice
Is Sounded.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Twice
within a week Republican national
headquarters has been compAr d
to caution State leaders regafulng
the injection of the religious issue
into the presidential campaign, it
was disclosed here todal.
The second incident was made
public by Chairman Work of the
national committee in his wire to
Oliver D. Street, national commit
teeman for Alabama, concerning
pamphlet reported to have been
written by Street and distributed
throughout the State.
The wire read:
"a circular has reached me pur-
porting to have been written by you
on the subject, Governor Smiths
membership in the Roman Catholic
Church and its proper place as an
issue in the campaign
II regret exceedingly that any OF
our party officials should bring the
religious question into a partisan
campaign. Invite your attention to
letter from me to all national
committeeman, dated June 20, in
which I said:
1.-The campaign policy we propose
to follow will be informative and
constructive only. The promptin -
of the conscience and personal lib
erty within the law are not proper
subjects for political debate
81 am sure you will observe Sug-
geStion in future"
The telegram to Street follows
closely on the heels of the repudi-
alton by Hoover of the now famous
"Romanism and Rum ridden letter
sent by Mrs. Willie w. Caldwell,
national committee woman of Vir-
ginia to Mrs. Clara Lyon of Vir-
ginia Highlands, Va, which brought
nationwide comment.

HOOVER DAY IN
DIXIE TO DRAW
GREAT CROWD
EIizabethton, Tenn, Town
Of $4,000, to Entertain
$4,000 Visitors.
BIZ NEA gerUtce

bu NEA S6fOtc6
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, Oct. a.
Tucked away in the rolling foothills
of the Appalachian Mountains, this
historic little east Tennessee town is
making preparations to entertain
$4,000 visitors Saturday when Her
bert Hoover will come here to make
his only southern address in his
campaign for the presidency.
It's stupendous task for town
OF only 10000 population, but Eliza
bethton is meeting the situation.
Committees are on the job; every
unoccupied hall and building has
been engaged for sleeping quarters;
cots, blankets and camp equipment
have been ordered; a tent hotel is
being erected; restaurants, lunch
counters and barbecue stands are
being made ready; 1000 acres of
parking space has been reserved and
200 extra policemen engaged.
Hoover Day in Dixie
For historic which
saw the Kings Mountain boys"
drill with their f1intlock muskets in
the Revolutionary War, which knew
Andrew Jackson when he was
country lawyer, which saw the death
of President Andrew Johnson-is
preparing for a gala day. It's on
the fringe of "the solid South"
Hoover day in Dixie" will be
one of the strangest political meet
ings of the 1928 presidential cam
paign.
Awkward mountaineers in blue
jeans and hickory shirts will rub
elbows with silk-hatted and frock-
coated New Workers, tired mothers
for freckle-faced little boys will sit
beside elegantly gowned society ma
irons from Knoxville and other
nearby cities.
Over Carpet of Roses
Arriving, Hoover will be escorted
into the town on carpet of roses,
tossed into the highway by thou
sans of school children from east
Tennessee.
AS his auto enters the city the
air will be rent with the noise of a
sham battle in which artillery, ma
chine guns, howitzers and airplanes
will participate.
Adding to the din, all factory
whistles will be sounded and rock
uuarrieS for miles around will set
off dynamite blasts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover will be
guests of honor at luncheon and
Immediately thereafter they will
take part in big parade. This
colorful procession, staged by Eliza
bethton as an industrial pageant
and exhibiting the products of its
industry, will be led by tribe OF
Cherokee Indians from North Car
DINA.
Street Dance at Night
When Hoover speaks to acres of
faces from a temporary
stand on the side of Lynn Noun
tain, he will be instroduced by ex-
Governor ALI Taylor, Tennessee'S
only REPUBLICAN, Governor Except
for fusion candidate) since Civil
War days. "Uncle ALT" as he is
familiarly known, is famous all over
east Tennessee as a fox hunter and
old-time fiddler.
Immediately a-ter his speech Mr..
and Mrs. Hoover will leave for
Washington, but that night the
streets of E1izabethton will be gay
under the Pickering glare of torches.
From curb to curb the streets will
sway with dancing mountaineers,
tripping to music supplied by brass
bands, jazzy orchestras and old
fiddlerS.

cover crop, it is asserted by o. C..
Bruce, professor of soils at the Uni
versity of Maryland.
Flowing in the fall may have the
advantage of improving the physical
condition of the soil and in some cases
may make it possible to get the seed
bed prepared somewhat EARLIER in the
spring. 1t may likewise result in a
more even distribution of labor, it is
said. On the other hand the injurious
effects of erosion and the teaching
away of valuable fertility are ex-
tremely detrimental to many Mary
land soils.
The great advantage of blowing in
December and January, it is pointed
out, is the fact that the soil is left
without a cover for a shorter period
of time than when fall blowing is
practiced. The shorter the length
of time that a soil is left uncropped
the less it will suffer from surface
run OH and consequent depletion OF
fertility. Under most conditions 1t is
advisable to protect the soil with a
cover crop that can be turned under in
the spring.
Sod lands may be plowed in the fall
or in the early winter with compare
lively little damage unless the slopes
are steep. Even then, better results
are obtained if blowing is delayed I'M
til well into the winter. December
and January are the best winter
months for blowing in sections of the
State where winter blowing is at all
possible. Ordinarily the ground should
be left rough and unharrowed in the
spring before sowing the crop.
