Keep School and Civic Leagues Active During Summer Months Many of the 800 School and Civic Leagues in our. state have formed the bad habit of ‘‘going into summer quarters’’ by not having regular meetings during this season. It is to be hoped that this unwise custom will be discontinued by the majority ot the school leagtu s this summer; for there is much that can be done during these vacation months It is a splen did time to use the local talent in some good plays and enter tainments for the young peoi le will be free frc m school duties and can give time to practice. The boys and girls that have been away to college will be at home so you can have their assistance for this work. This would add greatly to the social life of the community and place some money in the treasury. The Health Committee can be very active by keeping up a live interest in screening the houses, fly swatting and clean up days; for these are the months that we need to put forth every effort to keep down typhofd and to prevent dis eases among infants. The building and grounds com mittee can keep things attrac tive about the school and have all needed repairs made to building and outbuildings, so that everything will be in readi ness tor the opening of school. By keeping up these regular meetings and activities of the league you will take away that lonely appearance of the school building for the summer months and thereby make it vdiat it should be, an attractive ulace all the year around. Let us hear from you saying that your league will keep up its active work all during the sum mer then you will have a good report in November as well as in May. J. H.

Phone “Dodson's Liver Tone” Starts Your Liver1 Better Tlian Calomel and You Don’t Lose a Day’s Work Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel fine and cheerful; make vour work a pleasure; be vigorous and full of afnbi tion. But take no nasty, dangerous calomel because it makes you sick and you may lose a day’s work. Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel crashes into sour bile like dynamite, breaking it up. That’s when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. Listen to me! If you want to enjoy the nicest, gentlest" liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Swift Justice A little more than two weeks ago the people ot this section were shocked by vvha' probably was the most heinous crime ever committed in Vir ginia or Tennessee. Today the guilty men are under sen. tence of death, and just one month from this morning they will die in the electric chair in the penitentiary at Richmond. l’he crime was the brutal violation and murder of a res. pectable and respected woman near Wallace, Va., a few miles north ot Bristol. It was not discovered until the day after it was co nmitted and there was little or no clue as to the perpetrators. But within two or three days two young men who lived in the com munity were under arrest, and within ten days after their arrest they had been condemn ed to die. When the clay arrives on which they will expi ate their crime or crimes—lor it was a double ctime--ouly about six weeks will have elapsed since the afternoon when they entered the Wilson home for a fell purpose which they accomplished in the most fiendish manner. Seldom, if ever, has justice moved more swiftly or struck with a heavier hand. Virginia has a record for dealing prompt. | nals of high and low estate! which is known far and wide} and which frequently is com mented upon by newspapers of other states. And the record has been abundantly sustained in this instance.

One of the men was convic ted by his own confession, which was made with brutal frankness. The other was con victed on evidence whicl left no reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury as to his guilt. And now that it is all over, even th ).se who felt that summary vengeance should be visited upon these men by violent means should be glad that no attempt was made to prevent the law irom taking its cou rse.- -13 r i s t o 1 Herald Courier, May ii.
