RELIEF FROM CURSE
 OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Greek physician says, Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause"
 But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Order lies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes gentle, thorough, natural movement without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose.
 Stop suffering from constipation. Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night. Next day bright. Get 24 for 25 cents today at the nearest Rexall Drug Store. Willis B. Carroll.

By previous agree ment. the candles were suddenly blown cut, and Captain Joseph Nads- worth, seizing the document, so nec- essary to the liberties of the people, escaped in the darkness and h< 1t Tn a hollow of the tree where it remain ed till 1869. The original charter, under class can be seen at the State Library.

and is bound to appeal to the right
thinking men and women Of the
South, irrespective of their former
party affiliations.

we shall continue to seek the ad-
vice and cooperation of leading men

part of our plan to invite a number
of outstanding citizens from the
