Recognition for Ex-Confeds.
Congressman Blanton of Texas has
launched a plan for the government
to turn over the sum of $70,000,000
to $100,000,000 known as the cotton
tax fund, which has been in the treas-
ury ever since the Civil War, to the
Confederate Veterans of the South.
His bill proposes to give each veteran
or his widow a lump sum of $500.00,
and a pension of $25.00 a month until
the fund is exhausted. The fund was
created by a tax of $15.00 a bale lev-
ied upon the South in 1866. At
every session of congress bills are in-
troduced to have it refunded to the
people of the South. The supreme
court recently dismissed a case
brought by former slaves and their
descendants seeking to have the vast
sum paid to them.
The soldiers who wore the gray,
more than any others have borne un-
complainingly the burdnes of the civil
war. Their fortunes were lost, homes
wrecked and families decimated.
Their heroism and valor still lives
and their sons and grandsons are
going forth to defend the flag of the
union. It would be a fitting recogni-
tion of their heroism and patriotism
if congress would adopt the Blanton
bill.—Coleman Democrat-Voice.

CONSTIPATION
And Sour Stomach Caused This
Lady Much Suffering. Black-
Draught Relieved.
Meadorsville, Ky.—Mrs. Pearl Pati
rick, of this place, writes: “I was
very constipated. I had" sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. They would
gripe me and afterwards it seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I heard of Black-Draught and de>
elded to try it. I found It just what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
improved. I got well of the sour stom-
ach, my bowels soon seemed normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
dose now and then, and was in good
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black.
Draught for it is the finest laxative
one can use.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has for
many years been found of great value
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle
and reliable in its action, leaving no
bad after-effects, it has won the praise
of thousands of people who have used

General Felix Diaz Killed in Quarrel.
El Paso, Texas, May 11.—A Mexi-
can who arrived here today from
Southern Mexico reported to the
Mexican government secret service
officials that General Felix Diaz, ne-
phew of the late Gen. Porfirio Diaz
former president of Mexico, had been
shot and killed by General Calimayor
a former Zapata commander, follow-
ing a dispute as to the supreme com-
mand of the revolutionists in the
state of Oaxaca.
This statement was made officially
today by Andres Garcia, inspector
general of Mexican consulates in the
United States.
United States- army intelligence
department officers here have receiv-
ed a report that Felix Diaz was killed
in the state of Oaxaca but say they
have been unable to obtain a com-
plete report.
Auto Taxes May Be Heavy.
Automobile owners will be heavy
tax payers if the war revenue tax of
5 per cent of the valuation is added
to the other auto taxes, according to
an estimate made yesterday by Coun-
ty Auditor Charles E. Gross.
The smallest type of car with an
assessment value as low as $250, will
have a $16 annual tax altogether. The
minimum tax under the state high-
way bureau act is $7.50, the city tax
on a $250 car would be $4.75 and the
state and county tax $2.50. The pro-
posed 5 per cent war tax would add
$12.50, making a total of about $27.
Larger and more valuable cars would
pay proportionately higher taxes
The state highway act bases its
amount on horsepower. A 45-horse-
power car under this bill would have
a tax of $15.75 for that item alone.
The other taxes would vary with the
car values.—Dallas News.
No Liquor, No Gamling, No Absence
Without Leave, also No Guardhouse.
There will be no liquor allowed
within the bounds of the Reserve Offi
cei’s’ Training Camp at Leon Springs
The ban has been put on gambling
of every nature and there will not be
even one game of chance tolerated.
The members of the camp will not
be allowed to come to the city except
i at certain designated times,
j At these times special permission
must be obtained from Colonel W,
Scott, commanding officer of the
camp..
This will be the first army camp in
the country to be conducted without
the aid of a guardhouse.
Newspaper Duns.
A subscriber once received a dun
through the postoffice and it made
him mad. He went to see the editor
about it and the editor showed him
a few duns of his own—one for paper,
one for type, one for fuel and several
others. “Now,” said the editor, “I
did not get mad when these came be-
cause I knew that all I had to do was
to get several reliable gentlemen like
you to come and help me out, and
then I could settle all of them.”
When the subscriber saw how it was,
he relented, paid up, and renewed for
another year.—Hartshorne (Okla.)

Selfishness Antidote.
A few knocks now and then are th
best antidotes tn llie world for selfish-
ness. The girl or young -woman who
is constantly petted and waited upo
by an indulgent mother very seldoi
appreciates what her parent is doing
for her, but let her mother become
suddenly ill and the girl be obliged to
get up an hour earlier to prepare
breakfast for a week or two and she
will begin to realize that her mother
is entitled to some recognition for the
hard work she does and that she (the
girl) has heretofore been downright
selfish.
■ Testing Criminals.
It is the endeavor of some humane
societies to have a law passed to test
H criminals, and that, if found of
mall menial age, they shall not be
mushed in the ordinary way. It has
