MR. ART SQUARE OFFERS HIS
SERVICES TO HIS PARTY
mr. art mjuuru has wrote a letter
lo hon. jtin furluy offering hie valuable
services In riting up a new
flat form for the' comming dimmerera
tic convoutlon which bo hell at
tlio flatforiu udopted by the ropubll
can i>arty, he thinks he has some
Ideas that the dlmmer-crats ought
to Incopper-rate la their flatforiu
Mr. art square do not sue unity
reason for making inanity change* I
in the new deal flatforiu, but a few
planks could be put Into It and 3
or 4 old ones could bo took out to
advantage. att the govvermeut has
put both the rich and poor back ou
their feet, he sop* no reason why
the w. p. a. and the r. f. c. and the
c. i o. can't be eliminated, the rich
man was busted allso prior to the
it. d. (new deal): he is o. k .now,
but grumhllug powerful.
ntr square thinks a plank could
be put Into the donkey's flatforiu
that would encourage the republicans
to quit fighting back. It would
be offering all of the brainy boys
a berth In the govermeat service,
there are some rail smart men In
the g o p. crowd that pres. rosey*
veil has not hired. It would be well
to put them Into service as soon us
possible a large number of them
would fit luto the furrln embassies
u n so forth.
mr. square writes a plain haud
hisself and he would be glad to take
down what the other feller's think
and then re-rlto it for the dimmer*
crats. he has drawod Just oddllugs
and oddllngs of local, county atld
state flatforins. and Is familiar with
uearly- every kind of plank ever
heard of that fits Into a political
carcass, ho would have this country
in mlud first, last and always. he
would do away with about 600,000
gravy trains, and would be nice (and
not bitter) towards the defeated republicans.
they have a hart, too, you
know.

ON TO THE CONVENTION
IN CHICAGO
mr. slim chance, sr , says that there
Is some hope In his hart that he will
be sent to chicargo to roppersent the
dlmmercrats of this state In the donkey
convention which will meet befoar
long to noinmernate pres. roseyrelt
for a third term, he do not
see much sense in spending monney
for a convention or a election, as
for that matter; the state that he resides
in could Just send a post card
to the leader and tell him to cast It
along with other for mr. roseyvelt.
the dlmmercrats expect to get a
large number of votes that went over
to the republicans enduring the past
few years, you see. ?<> says lur.
eUunvv. wis ww. wUWle www w vktuiuiftCoral
once but Is now a republican,
It wont make much difference whicha-way
the vote they will feel like
they are voting for a dlmmercrut.
he further states that most of the
planks that the republican party put
in their flatform were already plunks
of the dluuuercrats, and some of the
new planks are the ones they heard
that the dlmtuercrats were going to
place In their flatform In chlcargo
very few folks agree with ntr.
chance when he says that the dewey
and the taft and the hoover votes
will go to the new deal candydate
even If pres. rosey-velt do not chopse
to run. they seem to think that ouly
ubout per ceut of the said votes
will forsake mr. wllkle iu the flnnal
wind-up for the way he treated the
aforementioned genternians In outrunning
them, they say mr. wllkle
had a good Job and they don't understand
why he quit It to detrlmeut of
real pollltlcans ansoforth.
you will hear more from mr. slim
chance If he choses to go to the
convention, he is practicing talking
thru a guanno horn every day so's
ho can talk Into a mlky foam on the
raddla If he Is asked to announce the
results of the ballots, he is allso
tuning his voice down to a coarser
key; It sounds too keen like it has
bcnn In the 4>ast. he mought be the
black boss that fs going to be pushed
out for vice pressldent.

UP AND DOWN THE TOWN IN

Is took In In the way of gate receipts
will go to her fojj the first 16
months, she will do the rumba herself
while leading the band, Just like
the movies.
dr. hubert green opperated 3 times
last thursday at the county seat, the
remains of the first two opperatlons
were berried at rehober sunday. it
looks like the other 2 persons will
recover If something don't set In like
new-mony or blood transfusions ansoforth.
her husband thinks he let his
knife slip, but the doctor says It was
Just one of those cases where he done
his best and that's all anny man or
woman cau do.
we nave our woods entirely full of
caudy-dates alreddy and ptoll itiOks
are Just warming up a little, nearly
everboddy has made up their minds
who they will vote for unless a dark
horse Is trotted out for pressldent. as
!d the third term: noboddy wants the
job \ i't ry much, accord ing to art
square, and ho say s that goes for
pros rosey-velt. the pressent add-ministra'ion
is the only bunch in the u. s.
that can handle this terrible war situation
and it Is going to take more
co-opperatlon and less party lines to
. d. a a n then.
someboddy broke into tnr3. holsum
moore's chicken house last night and
walked off with her 2 prize minorkers.
she has set a steel trap and a shotgun
in it and will either catch or kill
the next miscreant who ventures into
her premises, the poleesman got his
finger-prints off of the leg of her old
rooster which seems to of got away,

Young Giant Dies
From Foot Infection
Manistee, Mich,, July 15.?Robert |
Wadlow, the 22-ye^r-old Alton, 111.,
"giant" who wan 8 feet 9 1-2 inches
(all and believed the world'* tallest
man. died here early today from complications
following a foot iufoctlon.
Wadlow, who wua making a professional
appeal unco a* the "world's
tulleiU man" at the national forest
festival here, suffered uu infection lu
his left ankle less than a. fortnight
ago.
i The youthful giant's condition grew
steadily worse, and physicians gave
him a blood transfusion yesterday and
I performed a minor operation: on his
I foot last iilght. His temperature all
I of yesterday was reported as "never
(lower thau 106". He died at ,1:40 a.
m. (EST).
I Under the management of his faI
ther, Harold F. Wadlow, the young
I man was sponsored on his appearI
anco here by a shoe company.
Wadlow weighed 491 pouuds while
I making his last public appearance.
I Medical men said his great- height
I resulted from over-activity "of the
I pituitary gland.
i Wadlow suffered his injury July
I 4. A brace worn ou Ills ankle chafed,
and Infection set in. He was confinI
ed In his hotel rather than a hospital.
His condition had become "very
grave" yesterday, and he was taking
nourishment through a tube.
I Father, mother, two sisters and two
I brothers all were normal stature.
I Robert weighed eight and a half
I pounds at birth, Feb. 22, 1918. By
I the time Robert reached young manI
hood the elder Wadlow's shoulders
I came only to his son's hips.
I Scientists classified him as an
I "acromegalic type," designating a
person whose growth has been abnormal
because of over-activity of
| the pituitary, lying at the base of
I the brain.
Negro Woman Captured
' Mary Wright, Kershaw negress,
I sought by Blshopvllle police for the
I fatal Fourth of July stabbing of JohnInle
Lee Trusedale, negro, also of KerI
shaw, was apprehended the night following
by State Highway Patrolman
I Walter McTeer and John (TKelley of
I lUshopville and Kershaw police off 1I
cers.
j She was arrested as she was being
brought back to Kershaw In a car
with other negroes. She was returned
immediately to Blshopvllle and Is
now In the county Jail awaiting trial.
1 According to her story she had been
going with Truesdale for some time
I but had separated from him some
I time ago. It seems that Truesdale
met up with her an hour previous to
I the stabbing and knocked her d6wn.
He met her again about an hour later
at a negro store and after knocking
her down, drew a knife and threw
It as her. As she ran, she picked up
the knife and stabbed him as he came
on her again.?Lancaster News.
The French labor ministry has suspended
requirements that workers be
given vacations with pay and a day
off every two weeks. Three men at
Versailles were sentenced to two to

Jobs.

Vegetable Laxative
Makes Happy Friends
Here's a laxative that usually acta
thoroughly aa harsher ones but is a
gentle persuader for intestines when
used this way: A quarter to &
half-teaspoonful of spicy, aromatic
BLACK-DRAUGHT on your tongue
tonight; a drink of water. There's
usually time for a good night's
rest, with a gentle, thorough action
next morning relieving constipation's
headaches, biliousness, sour
stomach, h^i breath.
BLACK-DRAUGHT is a splendid
combination of veget.iblo .ngredi|
ents, chief of which i3 an "intestinal
tonic-laxative" that helps im}
part tohe to 1 a?y bowel muscles.
It's economical. 25 to 40 dose3: 25c.
