"I began taking Black
Draught over fifty years ago
and my experience with it
stretches over a good long
time," says Mr. Joe A. Blake-*
more, a Civil War veteran
and former Virginian, who is
now a prominent Citizen of
Floyd, Texas. "It ia the best
laxative 1 know of for old
people.. . A good many years
ago, in Virginia, I used to
get bilious and I found that
Thedford's
LACK-DRAUGHT
was the best and quickest re
lief I could get. Since I came
to Texas I have these bilious
attacks every now and then?
a man will get bilious any
where, you know?and I find
that a little Black*Draught
soon straightens me out.
After a few doses, in little or
no time I'm all right again."
Thedford's BlAck-Draught
is a purely vegetable liver
medicine, used in America for
over eighty years. It acts on
the stomach, liver and bowels
in a gentle, natural way, as
sisting digestion and reliev
ing constipation. Sold every
where.

?Convicted ?>f Conspiracy To I ho Mails
To Defraud
New York, Jan. 31.?"Few things
tiri'i meaner than to threaten public
ity to blast the Uvea of private in
dividuals by publishing their aoeial
or moral errors," Federal Judge Maekj
declared today before a crowded
court room. He then turned to Ste
phen (J. Clow, publisher of Broadway
Brevities and sentenced him to six
years and a day at Atlanta peniten-1
tiary, plus a $0,000 fine, for conspir
acy to use the mails to defraud.
Crow's advertising solicitor, An
drew 11. Brown, was sentenced to At
lanta for two years. Nat Kunnes,
another solicitor who completed the
trio that was convicted yesterday, was
ordered back to jail to await sentem
February 11.
An additional fine of $11,000 was
imposed upon the Broadway Brevi-*
ties corporation. Clow then was re
leased on $15,000 bail and Brown
on $7,600 to await the result of ap
peal for a new trial on nine indict
ments which charged that represen
tatives of -Ibe publication collected
thousands of dollars in "hush money''
from prominent persons upon threats
to expose their private activities.
Clow, who admitted on the stand
that he was a habitual user of hypo
dermically-administered> paraldehyde,
during the trial, sat tight lipped
throughout Judge Mack's denuncia
tion.
The publisher heard his attorneys
plead for leniency on the ground that
he was vbroken in health and penni
less.
lie heard Judge Mack order the
periodical barred from the mails and
he heard his attorney promise that
publication would be suspended if
Clow was permitted bail while await
ing action on appeal for a new trial.
Then as Brown and Kunnes were
chuckling over ? page of colored
comics, Clow heard Judge Mack say:
"I haven't a shadow of doubt over
the correctness of the jury in find
ing you guilty. There is no ques
tion but that this sort of crime is
meaner, nastier, more disreputable in
every respect than crime involving
taking money from poor people.
"I have no feeling of mercy for
men who, makf n business of such
business. Their conduct was beyottTl"
the pale of any decent man's concep
tion of the demands of mercy."
"It is more disreputable to
threaten to publish things *that are
untrue. Clow's threats to publish
articles about' men and women, to
disclose secrets in their lives which
they wished to conceal?even grant
ing that those things were true?
wtfre not to protect society or-pun
ish those whom he threatened, but
merely tq extort money."

cation Friday.
The total number of illiterates iu
South Carolina was given out as 220,
007 of whom .'5ft,712 are native whites.
This is more* than the number
the combined states of lilaho, Mon
tana, Nevada, Oregon, and tyorth Da
kota, the total in these states being
37,524.
There are six eounties in South
Carolina having 25 per cent illiteracy,,
with Berkley county, where there are
j forty negroes to every white, lead*
' ing the list with only 29.i> per cent
of children there between the ages
of 10 and 17 attending school. Allen !
dale, Jasper, Georgetown, Lee and
Colloton follow close behind Berkley.
Pickens with 13,5 per cent of the j
children between these ages in school!
has the lowest percentage of illiter- '
acy in the state.
South Carolina stands 'ft\wty-sev
! enth from the top in percentage of
illiterates. Tlypre is only one stato
in the. union, Louisiana, having a!
higher percentage of illiteracy than
South Carolina.
Illiterate in this state is largely
a rural problem since 190^510 illiter
ates are found in rural districts.,
i Much is being done by the adult
schools in the state under the diree

illiteracy. in 11)25 Miss Gray en
! rolled 1,00*0 pupils in adult schools
and this year it is expected this num
