FIRESTONE records show that
mileage adjustments were so tew
and trouble came so seldom that
a new basis of adjustments was ar
ranged.
Fabric Tires, 6,000 Miles
Cord Tires, 8,000 Miles
Your dealer knows that the Firestone
Gray Sidewall Tires have delivered
such mileage as to make this new
standard adjustment more conservative
than the old standard was for ordinary
tires.

NEGRO HELD FOR
SAFETY IN DOOLY
AFTER BATTLE
VIENNA, September 12.—SericUs
; trouble was narrowly averted near
< Lilly a few days ago as a result of
a herd of hogs, the property of a
White farmer, trespassing on the
| premises of a negro who farmed on
. the land adjoining.
The trouble started when the ne
gro who is reputed to be a law abid
ing, hard working man, requested
the owner of the hogs to keep them
out of his fields where they were de
stroying his corn. This was not don e
and the hogs continued to visit the
field. The negro forthwith at-
I temted to run them out, us
j ing sticks and rocks. This was re
' sented by the owner of the hogs,
: who went to the negro and told him
iso in no uncertain terms. The man
j claims that the negro’s attitude was
I insolent and this, it is claimed was
! th’e motive that moved him and sev
eral of his friends to administer pun-
■ ishment to the negro.
The negro claims that an effort
was made to decoy him from his
home the following night when he
failed to fall into the trap set for
him, was warned that h e would hear
from them later.
The following day the negro was
in the field picking cotton when he
■ saw several men approaching, he
I ran stopping at a point nearby to get
i his gun which he had brought to the
i field. The whites claim that they in
: tended no harm, that their purpose
’ was to serve a warrant on the ne
l gro. None of them however, were
, vested with the authority. When the
j negro ran there was an exchange of
shots. He gained a nearby swamp
and directed his way to a negro
house. The recognizing
■ the seriousness of the situation re
fused him admittance. He ran to
another house nearby and gaining
■ entrance opened fire. The negro wo-
I men occupants of the house, who
I came forward to bar the doors were
< slightly wounded by the shots from
the outside. A hurry call was sent
to Lilly for recruits for the army out
side the house, a number responded
but the majority of them took no
part in in the affair after learning
the particulars. About this time the
sheriff reached the scene and entered
the house, the negro offering no re
sistance. He was disarmed and
brought to the county jail for pro
tection. He had been wounded in
the back.
No Race Suicide There.
J>nn. who hail always lived in the
city, was going to the country for the
summer. As she sat gazing out of the
car window a flock of blackbirds,
frightened by the train, rose from the
ground and flew away. “O, aunty,” ex
claimed Jean excitedly, “look- what a
large family those birds have.”

AFTER ILLNESS i

When Your System Needs Strength, After a
Sick Spell, Try Ziron.
Your blood must have iron to give
your body strength. Lack of iron
makes many people pale, weak and
languid. To put iron Into your blood,
take Ziron Iron Tonic. Especially at
ter a severe illness do you need Ziron
to bring back appetite and build up
weakened vitality.
J. E. Clifton, of R. F. D. 3, Lyons.
Ga.. writes: “Last summer I had ty
phoid fever and had hemorrhages of
the bowels and my health was wretch
ed. . seemed to be unable to get my
strength back. I had no appetite, 1
had no energy, I didn’t think I was
l ever going to get well. My knees were
weak, my flesh felt clammy, I was In
p pretty bad condition. I heard of
Ziron and what a good tonic and
strengthener It was, and I sent for It
at once. It helped me. I began to
Improve and soon felt much better and
stronger."

BITRO-PHOSPHATE
IS GOOD FOR THIN
NERVOUS PEOPLE
A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE.
Frederick S. Kolle, M. D., editor of
■New York Physicians, “Who’s Who,”
I says that weak, nervous people who
[ want increased weight, strength and
I nerve-force, should take a 5-grain
\ tablet of Bitro-Phosphate just before
or during each meal.
This particular phosphate is the
discovery of a famous French scien
tist, and reports of remarkable re
sults from its use have recently ap
peared in many medical journals.
If you do not feel well; if you tire
easily; do not sleep well, or are too
thin; go to any good druggist and
get enough Bitro-Phosphate for a two
weeks’ supply—it costs only fifty
cents a week.
Eat less; chew your food thor
oughly, and if at the end of a few
weeks you do not feel stronger and
better than you have for months; if
your nerves are not steadier; if you
,do not sleep better and have more
vim, endurance and vitality, your
, money will be returned, and the Bi
tro-Phosphate will cost you nothing.
