Well, Dr. Pease and his favorite author, ‘‘Miss Annette Hazelton,”’ have a little news for you. Infan- tile paralysis, says Dr. Pease, is simply a form of tobacco poison- ing. Infants in arms become in- fected through their tobaeto us- ing parents, he has informed the health department. ‘‘Tobacco is a large contributing cause, if not the principal cause, of polimoye- liti,’’ adds Miss Hazelton. The proposed industrial tie-up in New York in sympathy with the striking traction workers re- ceived another severe jolt Satur- day when announcement was made that the 150,000 members of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers union would return to work at the end of the Jewish New Year ¢elebration. They had been’ expected to re- main idle. Union workers who quit in sympathy with the car men have dwindled to a mere handful, 6,000 brewery workers being the latest to see re- instatement after having voted to strike. 2 i : John T.

Two hours after their arrest Powell and Foreman overpowered Sheriff James Mayes, snatched his revolver and fled. Deputy Gib- son blocked their path. Foreman raised the sheriff‘s revolver and fired. Gibson fell, mortally wound- Then as the negroes dashed through the town, scores of men took up the pursuit. A shot felled Foreman and he was sent back to jail in a motor car. A few min- utes later. Powell was captured. The mob was dragging him back to the jail when a man_ shouted, **Lets lynch him on holy ground.’’ With one accord, the members of the mob turned to the lot of the Methodist church. The Rev. Perry E. Pierce, hearing the tu- mult, rushed out and stood beside the negroes, Raising his hands, he cried: ‘*Men, I beseech you in_ the name of your God not to desecrate this holy place or to stain the name of this fair town with this terrible thing! “Your God says, ‘Thou shalt not kill!’ ”’ Abashed, the mob hesitated fou an instant. The, minister began to plead quietly. Finally he won. The mob returned its prisoner to thegjail ys ne ee But at 8 o'clock, shortly after the hymns were sounding in the little church the mob appeared again, Tearing off the jail doors with crow bars, its members dragged Powell from his cell. After he had been strung up to a tree in front of the church,. sev- eral of its members returned and brought out Foreman. A rope was thrown across the same limb, and the body of the wounded black pulled up. Then the men went home quiet- ly. —_—— t Advertising a Sale. 1 You don’t leave your rig in the i to a fence post to read a sale bill do you? Then don't expect the other fellow to do it. Put an ad in the newspaper, then regardless of the weather, the fellow you want to reach reads your announcement while seated at his fireside. ‘ If he is a prospective buyer : you'll have him at your sale. One extra buyer often pays the entire expense of the ad, and it’s a poor ad that won’t pull that buyer. Anad in this paper reaches many people you are after. Bills may he a necessity, but the ad is the thing that does the business. Don’t think of having a special sale without using advertising space in this paper. One extra buyer at a sale often pays the entire expense of the ad. vet that buyer.—Hume Tele- phone. OF LOCAL INTEREST Some People We Know, and We Will Profit by Hearing ~ About Them.
