NEGRO IS SAVED FROM MOB. Action by Sheriff Averts Threatened Lynching. A __ ? Savanifah, Ga., Feb. 15.?After a threatened lynching in Claxton, Ga., early this morning when twenty-five or thirty angry, men stormed the Evans county court house and shot out many window panes, Andrew Jones, an aged negro, who was saved from the mob through the efforts of Sheriff T. W. Rogers, was brought to Savannah this morning in an automoboile. The negro had been taken into the | court house by the sheriff for safe I keeping as there is no jail in the coun! ty. The trouble started about mid Bight when the men demanded that f the officers release the negro into [ their custody. When the sheriff re' fused they opened fire but none of the $ shots took effect. J. G. Rogers, brother of the sheriff, T. L. Nevils, N. H. Hodges and H. N. Lewis assisted the sheriff in trying to disperse the I crowd. i ' According to the story told by the sheriff, John Horton, a young man and a companion named Kemp, approached the negro on one of the principal streets of Claxton and began beating him. They accused him of turning up a party of moonshiners and knocked him down when he I denied this. As a result of the row f Horton received a wound in the right I side. It is believed he will recover. 1 Later the sheriff placed the negro i under arrest and took him to the ft court house about 10 o'clock SaturA day night. Two hours later the mob H attempted to force an entrance at the <door. Early Sunday morning the sheriff succeeded in getting the negro into an automobile, arriving here a few hours later. The negro is being held at the county jail. 1 An Effective Break. A dusky doughboy, burdened under r tons of medals and miles and miles of ribbons, service and wounded chevrons, stars et al., encountered a Twenty-seventy division scrapper in l?e Mans a few days prior to the division's departure for the states. "Whar yo' all be scrappin' in dis t yar war, boss?" meekly inquired the eolored soldier. "We've been fighting up in Belgium and Flanders with the British," replied the New Yorker, proud"Well, we ben down in dem woods ?watcha call 'em woods 'way down aouth?" "The Argonne?" suggested young Knickerbocker. "Yes, yas, dem's de woods?d' Argonne." ; "You know our division was the first to break the Hindenburg line, colored boy," exclaimed the Twenty-seventh nan. "Was it you wot did dat trick?

Buckley, the Methodist 1 divine, wa3 asked one day to conduct an "experience meeting*' at a colored church in the south. A colored woman arose and bore witness to the preciousness of her religion as light-bringer and comfortgiver. "That's good, sister," commented Dr. Buckley. "But how about the practical side. Does your religion make you strive to prepare your husband a good dinner? Does it make you look after him in every way?" Just then Dr. Buckley felt a yank et his coat-tails by the colored preacher, who whispered ardently: "Press dem questions, doctor; press dem questions. Dat's my wife!"?Ladies' Home Journal. Yet. A zealous excise officer was sent to Ireland to try to locate several "moonshine" stills which were known to ;exist. Meeting a native, the excise officer *;;proached him, saying: "I'll give you five shillings, Pat, if you can take me to a private still. "Troth, an' I will, sir," was Pat's reply, as he pocketed the money. "Come with me." For many weary miles over mountain, bog and moor they tramplea, until they came into view of a barracks. Pointing to a soldier seated on a step inside the square, Pat said: "There you are, sir, my brother Mike; he's been a soldier for ten years, an' he's a private still."?Vim. They Couldn't Help It. Two friends met in the Strand the , morning after an airplane raid. "Any damage done your way?" the first asked. "Damage! Rather!" answered the other.

MER1T0NE ONLY THINGTO HELP Nervous Troubles of Seven Years Gone and She Now Sleeps Soundly: "For seven years I suffered and: I couldn't find a thing that wouldj help me but one bottle of tlrs new j medicine, Meritone, has made me! feel like a new person," said Mrs. j Mary Arledge, of 908 Union Avenue, Chattanooga, Tenn. i "Nervousness was my chief trouble," Mrs. Arledge continued. "I dreaded to go to bed at night because I couldn't sleep. I just tossed and rolled about the bed all n'ght, and, of course, when morning came, I felt so badly I could hardly get up. "Meritone was recommended so highly that finally I started taking it. "One bottle of Meritone has done me more good than any other med;cine I ever tried, and has made me feel like a new person. The nervousness has left me entirely and I can go to bed at night now and sleep soundly until morning. The tired, worn-out feel.'ng I used to have is all gone and I feel good all the time." Meritone is sold exclusively in Bam. berg by Mack's Drug Store.?adv.
