I This paper is not intimately ac
quainted with the case of young Da

paper reports.
These reports indicate that Davis
should be in Class One of the draft,
while they showed that he was anx
ious to secure deferred classification
because of dependents, who, it was
shown later, do not exist.
Davis is the son of Jeff Davis, at
one time the strongest politician in
Arkansas, a man who had a hold up
on the people that could not be loos
ened. This popularity of the father
of course enabled the son to follow
closely in the paternal footsteps, and
many predicted that some day, when
he became more mature in age and
experience, that Wallace Davis would
be heard from in state politics.
But today, if we are to infer right
ly, Wallace Davis is as “dead” as
the proverbial door nail.
If Wallace Davis had responded to

THE CHAMKEK OF ("O.MMESCE

For th^ information of those who
th/fe been constrained to believe the
^hamber of Commerce of Newport
fails to exist, we wish to announce
that the organization is very much
MrVv'"
alive, more so now than ever before.
The board of directors have not been
asleep for one little minute. They
, have been wide-awake and active,
looking about to secure the right man
for the managership. They will
make no mistake, and for that reason
they have been slow in getting th>
man, who must be the right man.
: It can be said very soon that New
port refuses to hide its light
under a bushel, and the revival of
the booster spirit will be paramount
^ when a man fitted in every way
to lead this section to its place in the
jfesun gets on the job and begins to
p pound away with the hammer of pro
■fsligress.
Did you read that America is the
deciding factor? Coming from Lord
Milner this statement is momntuous
I and America is not coming in—she
has come in—America is in.
“WORTH THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS TO FEEL
LIKE I DO,” HE SAYS
After Twenty Years’ Suffering He
Finfls Relief At Last By Taking
Tanlac — Gains Eleven
Founds in Weight.
“It’s woi-th thousands of dollars to
feel like I do now, since Tanlac has
taken away the trouble that kept me
in misery for the last twenty years,”
said M. B. Daniel, a well-known far
mer, living on Route No. 2 out o
] Abbeville, Ga., a few days ago.
“Whenever a man suffers as long
as I did, he gets to the place where
he feels like he’s no more good in this
world,” he continued, “and that’s just
the way I had begun to feel. Long
ago I got so weak I couldn’t carry on
my work, for spells of stomach trou
ble and nervousness just made it
torture for me to try to eat, and the
trouble I had wouldn’t let me sleep
at all. Many a night I have sat up
until morning, so shaky and nervous
I couldn’t even doze off. My heart
would flutter and act queer until I
was afraid it would stop, and I got
so blue and discouuraged I felt like
I didn’t much care if it did.
“I’d been well enough satisfied
just to have my sufferings relieved,
but that’s not all Tanlac has done for
me—I have gained eleven pounds
in weight—since I started taking it.
I can eat as hearty a meal as if I
had never had a stomach trouble at
all, and my strength has come back
so I can do as much work in a day as
I ever could before I took sick. I jus4
feel like a new man all over, and will
be glad to tell anybody who wants to
know, if they will write me, just
what this wonderful medicine, Tan
Tanlac is sold by all druggists in
Jackson county,
lac. did for me.
“Dash, determination and daring—
also efficiency”—That’s what our
boys at the front are doing Keep ’em
go;ng! War Savings is a message to
the kaiser that will “get over.”
