HOOVER DAY IN DIXIE TO DRAW GREAT CROWD Elizabethton, Tenn., Town of 12,000, to Entertain 50,000 Visitors. By NEA Service ELIZABETHTON, Tenn., Oct. 2. Tucked away in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, this historic little east Tennessee town is making preparations to entertain 50,000 visitors Saturday when Herbert Hoover will come here to make his only southern address in his campaign for the presidency. It’s a stupendous task for a town of only 12,000 population, but Elizabethton is meeting the situation. Committees are on the job; every unoccupied hall and building has been engaged for sleeping quarters; cots, blankets and camp equipment have been ordered; a tent hotel is being erected; restaurants, lunch counters and barbecue stands are being made ready; 2,000 acres of parking space has been reserved and 200 extra policemen engaged. Hoover Day in Dixie For historic Elizabethton—which saw the “King’s Mountain boys’’ drill with their flintlock muskets in the Revolutionary War, which knew Andrew Jackson when he was a country lawyer, which saw the death of President Andrew Johnson —is preparing for a gala day. It’s on the fringe of "the solid South.” “Hoover day in Dixie” will be one of the strangest political meetings of the 1928 presidential campaign. Awkward mountaineers in blue jeans and hickory shirts will rub elbows with silk-hatted and frockcoated New Yorkers, tired mothers for freckle-faced little boys will sit beside elegantly gowned society matrons from Knoxville and other nearby cities. Over Carpet of Roses Arriving, Hoover will be escorted into the town on a carpet of roses, tossed into the highway by thousans of school children from east Tennessee. As his auto enters the city the air will be rent with the noise of a sham battle in which artillery, machine guns, howitzers and airplanes will participate. Adding to the din, all factory whistles will be sounded and rock quarries for miles around will set off dynamite blasts. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover will be guests of honor at a luncheon and immediately thereafter they will take part in a big parade. This colorful procession, staged by Elizabethton as an industrial pageant and exhibiting the products of its industry, will be led by a tribe of Cherokee Indians from North Carolina. Street Dance at Night When Hoover speaks to acres of {.upturned faces from a temporary stand on the side of Lynn Mountain, he will be instroduced by exGovemor Alf Taylor, Tennessee’s only Reublican Governor (except for a fusion candidate) since Civil War days. “Uncle Alf,” as he is familiarly known, is famous all over east Tennessee as a fox hunter and old-time fiddler. Immediatelly a.lsr his speech Mr. and Mrs. Hoover will leave for Washington, but that night the streets of Elizabethton will be gay under the flickering glare of torches. From curb to curb the streets will sway with dancing mountaineers, tripping to music supplied by brass bands, jazzy orchestras and old fiddlers. STUDENTS DIE IN DUEL Pistol Used In Affair of Honor at Latvian University. ISy United Press RIGA, Latvia, Oct. 2.—Two German students of the Latvian University died after a duel of honor Sunday in the forest on the outskirts of the university. Pistols were used.

MAN HAD PAINS IN BACK; FELT DIZZY Seemed Like He Would Tumble On His Head, But Bad Feeling Went Away After He Took Black-Draught. A well-known resident and property owner, Mr. S. E. McFarland, of 418 First Street, Georgetown, Ky., gives the following account of his use of Thedford’s Black-Draught: “I have been a user of BlackDraught for fifteen or twenty years, and can highly recommend it. "I used to get very constipated. This would cause pains in my back and limbs. I also took BlackDraught for indigestion. “I would get up mornings, feeling so dizzy, just like I would tumble on my head, and after a few doses of Black-Draught, this would be gone, it relieved indigestion and constipation, and would make me feel like new. “I cannot say too much for BlackDraught. “My wife takes Black-Draught, too, for constipation. It is a good medicine.” Thousands of other men and women find Black-Draught of great help in relieving and warding off common ailments, due to constipation, biliousness and indigestion. For several generations, the old, well-known Thedford’s BlackDraught, in a yellow package, has been a familiar item in family medicine chests. For sale by all druggists, 25 cents.
