The trouble got worste until I could hardly go. My back ' ached so badly I couldn’t do *my housework and sharp, cutting pains caught me in my back whenever I bent. Dizzy spells and severe head aches causde a good deal of annoy ance and I felt tired, run down, de pressed and miserable, was in nqed of something for my kidneys when 1 started to use Doan’s Pills. This medicine soon relieved me.” (State ment given May 8, 1918). On January 22, 1922, Mrs. McCrary said: “Doan’s Pills cured me of a spell I had one time.

St. Louis, March 2j—William G. McAdoo of Los Angelep, in his .cam paign^ for the Democratic presiden tial nomination, tonight replied to at tacks by Senator James A. Reed, de nouncing his Missouri opponent in the presidential race as a man “who resorts to the most glaring disregard for the truth in his personal attacks on me, because^! would not stay out of Missouri.” The statement by Mr. McAdoo in a former letter to C. C. Oliver, St. Louis, chairman of the McAdoo cam paign in Missorui, said in part: “Senator Reed of Missouri stated recently as the reason for the vicious attack he is making upon me person ally that McAdoo publicly announced he did not intend to enter the lists against any home candidate but for reasons which doubtless are satisfac tory to himself, he has singled me out as an exception to his general rule. He has come into the state of Mis souri and is receiving some support. These conditions force me to mfke have entirely omitted had I been ex tended by McAdoo the same courtesy he has extended to others/ “Here is a real patriot who resorts to the most glaring disregard to the truth in his personal attacks upon me because I would not stay out of Mis souri. “January 24, last, Sam Fordyce, representing Senator Reed, called on one of my Washington. friends and Plea of Guilty Of Manslaughter Clayton Underwood Gets Two Year Sentence—in Player's Death.

Mauldin, presiding, to serve two and one-halfi years in the state penitentiary or upon the public works of Greenwood county. The plea of guilty as entered today was accepted by Solicitor Homer S. Blackwell, who announced that, after an investigation by a detective agency secure by himself, he was convinced that the ends of justice would be met, information furnished him by detec tives having led him to believe that the homicide was due to “certain re lations between the wife of the de fendant and tlw deceased, Oscar Mitchell.” Asked by Judge Mauldin if he had anything to say before sentence was pronounced.

BUCHANAN’S PRESSING CLUB 7 Phoite28 said if I entered Missouri, the sena tor could contend against me, espe cially in Georgia and California. “My refusal to submit to such polit ical blackmail was promptly followed by Senator Reed's move on the floor of the senate to compel the public lands committee, investigating * the Republican oil scandal, to introduce into the record wholly immaterial and irrelevant testimony having nothing whatever to do with the scandal, for the sole purpose of dragging my name, without justification, into the oil in quiry. , “Who is this man who without re gard to truth and justice attacks me for the furtherance of his ambition? “He is the man who, because of his disloyalty to the Democratic party, was in 1920 thrown out of the Demo cratic convention of Ms* own state of Mutosttri. - r “He is the man who was repudiated and denied a seat in the 1920 Demo cratic national convention at San Francisco. ' “He is the man who was denounced by the legislature of South Carolina as a traitor to the Democratic party. “He is the man who for weeks ham pered and obstructed a Democratic president and the Democratic party in the senate in their efforts to achieve for the country a great feder al reserve act which was the only thing that saved the nation from bankruptcy during the World war. “He. is the man who had to be forc ed by a Democratic caucus to act with his fellow Democrats in the framing of that act. “He is the man who fought woman suffrage to the last ditch. . “He is the man above all others who has scoffed at the pea of the fkthers and mothers, daughters and sons of America, who believed and who still believe there is a way iq which civilization can avoid the bru tality of"war in the years to come. “He is the man of whom Woodrow Wilson wrote in 1922, ‘To those who have closely observed Mr: Reed’s ca reer in WashingtorNyhe has shown himself incapable of sustained alleg iance to any person or any cause. He has repeatedly forfeited any claims to my confidence that he may ever have been supposed to have and I shall never willingly consent to any further association with him.” • “He is the man wiio criticizes false ly and recklessly the law practice of a private citizen and yet, as a senator of the United Sthtes, wielding great political influence through his power over appointnfents and his opportuni ties to shape legislation to actively engaged in the practice of law. How far, it may well be asked, are his pro fessional employments induced by rea son of his political influence? Feb- , ruary 9, 1924, the public press carried the significaat information that throughout a great part of his sena torial career, Senator Reed has been employed as special counsel of the Universal Oil products, the chi^f pro prietor of which is ‘J. Ogden Armour, the principal figure, in the packing in- terests’ aind the ‘fee Senator Reed was to receive in the event of victory was estimated by his envious conferes at anywhere from $260,000 to $1,000,000. Some authorities said it might be twice or tijree times either of these figures quoted. v “He is ttye man who bitterly op presses the present widespread heart felt desire of the American people wae appealed to the supreme court and a new trial was granted last No vember. , $ The case of Cliff McCrary, charged with the murder of Lawrence Lee, prominent insurance man of the city, who was killed when he was run into by a truck alleged to . have been driv en by McCrary, was postponed until the next term of court on account of the absence of Lloyd B. Harrison of counsel for the defense, who is at tending the sessions of the general assembly as a representative from this county. Court this afternoon be gap the trial of E. D. Rauton, South Greenwood merchant, who is charged with killing Will A. Owings on the night of No vember 17 last, when he drove hn car, from the running board of which Owings fell to his death, into a Ford truck. The state contends that Rau ton is guilty of criminal negligence. cooperate with othdr nations of the earth to, work out in common cause the problem of world disarmament and world peace. “He is the man who falsely said in a recent speech that 'no living man can point to a single great lawsuit which McAdoo has ever tried in court’ “The records in United States dis trict court in Kansas City, Reed’s own home, refute him because I tried one of the most impoptant lawsuits in the history of American jurispru dence before Judge Van Valkenburgh in 1919. I refer to the case of Smith vs. the Kansas City Title and Trust company, in which the farm mort gage bankers who had bled the farm ers by usurious interest rates and hard conditions in farm mortgages, attack the constitutionality of the federal farm loan act. The farm loan banks administration under my di rection as secretary of the treasury And were a God send to the oppress ed farmers. Charles E. Hughes and George W. Wickersham were associ ated with me. We won the case in the lower cojirts and the decision was sustained by the supreme court of the United States. Thus the benefit oL this great farm mortgage syatem was saved to the American farmers. “Of course the people know that Reed, with his experience in politics has do idea that the democracy of Airibrica, which repudiated him in state and natiop four years ago, will now turn to him and exalt him to the \ A highest office within the gift of the American people. Of course the peo ple know Reed is seeking to obtain control of the delegates from the state of Missouri for ‘trading pur poses in the New York convention. “Senator Reed says be is a man of courage. Has he the courage to come out and say for whom he is now the •talking horse? < Will he tell the vot ers to whom he intends to trade the Democratic delegates of Missorui whom he seeks to take to the New York convention pledged to do his 'political will?- 1 • “If Senator Reed wants to know why I made an exception in the case of Missouri to my announced policy of not contesting a state against a bona fide home candidate, he will find my explanation in Ms own rec ord.” WHAT DO w- F. *1 .N S.
