Lea u< Discuss the Great Question.

What is most important of all earthly
blessings, in the estimation of every intelli-
gent human being?
Clearly, it is HEALTH; for soundness OF
body and mind is essential to the enjoyment
OF all the other good gifts of Providence.
How. then, shall those who possess this in
eStimable treasure endeavor to preserve it,
and how shall those who have lost it seek to
retrieve it?
These questions have been asked in all
ages but never have they been as SatiSfacto-
rlly responded to at the present day, and
the answers which common sense, enlight-
ened by science and experience, gives &c
them in the Nineteenth Century may be
stated thus:
To protect the system of all influences
that tend TO generate disease, THERE Is
NOTHING LIKE IMMIGRATION.
To re-establish the health on a firm basis,
when it has been lost by imprudence or any
other cause, the system must be sINULTANE-
oUsLY STRENGTHENED, REGULATED AND PU-
RIFIED.
These ends can only be attained through
the agency of preparation which combines
the attributes OF TONIC, a CORRECTIVE, a
BLOOD DEPUKENT, and an APERIENT.
All these essentials are effectually blend
ed in HOSTETTERS STOMACH BITTERS.
They contain nothing drastic, irritating or
lnhamatory. The juices and extracts of
sentative herbs, roots and banks are their sole
medicinal ingredients, and those are rem
dered diffusible by combination with the
splrituous essence of rye, the purest of all
Aeoholic stimulants.
Inc weak and feeble, and especially these
suAerlhg from billiousness, indigestion and
nervousness, absolutely require the renoya-
.iihg AID of this powerful tonic and alterR-
i've uurlng the heated term, and cannot
Prudently postpone its use for single day.

JACKSON, MISS, aug. ~, 1909.
Editor Clarion l noticed in your last is
sue a report of the proceedings at Carroll
ton on the 10Th inst, and as several errors
occur in your published account, in regard
to the part taken by me at that meeting,
deem it no less due to myself than to the
persons mentioned in the report, TO make
corrections.
My speech was designed to present in the
strongest and most forcible language | could
command, the Importance of the issues in
volved in this campaign, and the interest OF
the colored, as well As the white people, in
the result oil the pending contest and the
triumph of the National Union Republican
ticket. In other words, l wished TO show
that the vital and material interests of the
colOred, as well as of the white race in this
State, were so interviewer and blended, that
whatever would enure to the injury of the
one would most certainly conduce to the
damage of the other. l INDUCED in no per-
Sonalities at Carrollton whatsoever. The
names of Messrs. Gibbs, Morris, and Barry,
were not mentioned bv me, and to make
this explanation more clear and pointed /
will further say, that | know nothing of the
characters of those gentlemen to Justify me
in using any such epithets as are ascribed to
me in pOu report.
In conclusion, / deserve to say, once for
all, that it was not my intention, in opening
the canvass, nor is it my design in any
speech may make hereafter, TO indulge in
personal abuse malignant vituperation of
any one who may enter the field of politics
in discussion with me. In the humble part
which L shall take in the approaching cam
paign, L shall endeavOr to treat the issues
involved with the consideration and honest
candor their importance demands, and my
opponents may on all occasions rely upon
receiving from me all of the respect to
which they are entitled, notwithstanding
their political views and our differences.
Very respectfully,

MARX TwATS's HoRsE.-I have horse
now by the name of Jerico- He is a
mare. | have seen remarkable horses
before, but none so remarkable as this.
| wanted horse that would shy, and this
one fills the BILL had an idea that shy
ing indicated spirit. If / was correct,
have got the most spirited horse on earth.
He SHES at everything he comes across
with the utmost impartiality.
He appears to have a mortal dread Of
telegraph-poles, especially and it is for
tunate that these are on both sides of the
road, because, as it is now, never fall
off twice In succession ON the same side.
If fell ON the same side always, it would
get to be monotQnous after while. This
creature has scared at everything he has
seen to-day, except hay-stack- He wal
ked up to that with an intrepidity and a
recklessness that were astonishing. And
it would FILL any one with admiration to
see how he preserved his selfpossession
in the presence of barleysack.
This daredevil bravery will be the
death of this horse some day.
He is not particularly fast, but think
he will get me through the Holy Land.
He has only one fault-his tail has been
chopped off, or else he has sat down on it
too hard, some time or other, and he has
to fight the flies with his heels. This is
all very well, but when he tries to kick a
fly off the top of his head with his hind
foot, it is too much variety. He is going
to get himself into trouble that way some
day. He reaches around and bites my
legs too. l do not care particularly about
that, only do not like to see horse too
sociable.
[ think the owner of this prize had a
wrong opinion about him. He had an
idea he was one of those frey, untamed
steeds, but he is not of that character.
know the Arab had his idea, because
when he brought the horse out for inspec-
ton in Beirout, he kept jerking at the
bride and shouting in Arabic, ''Ho, will
you? Do you want to run away, you fe-
rocious beast, and break your neck? J"
when all the time the horse was not doing
anything in the world, and only looked
like he wanted to lean up against some
thing and think.

two parties. Werecognize in one men OF
liberal sentiments and patriotic actions,
prescription, which is the result of hatred
and distrust. Conscious Of their inability
to cope with men, if admitted upon terms
of political equality; they are for depriv-
ing large class of our best citizens OF the

more, that no people can expect to receive
the benefits and blessings of Republican
Government, unless their laws are made
by their own immediate representatives
elected by their vote.
Resolved, That we earnestly invite all,
irrespective Of race, color or previous po-

COOPERATE! CONSOLIDATE COMBINE!
In other words, Keep your money at
home. And this is the very sensible advice
displayed at the head Of tie splendid adver-
tisement of the Carolina Life Insurance
Company, which occupies two columns of
our WEEKLY issue of this week. The adj
vertisement is designed to attract attention,
and will not fail to secure it. As an evidence
of the popularity of this Company in Mis-
sissippi, the published list contains the
names OF more than five hundred policy
holders in this State alone. This we call
good business, which the ample capital and
careful and liberal management of the
Company have fairly won. The main office
of the Company is at Memphis. The Cen
eral Agents for Mssissippi-Messrs. Hern-
dou q Baath-will also have their office in
that city hereafter. The agent for Jackson,
and vicinity, is Mr.. ID. 2. Porter.

So deeply fixed in the human consttu-
ton is the sense of disgust, which we feel at
HduSeoUS smell, that it has found an outcrop
in one of the most expressive figures of
speech, that can be coined. Thus when a
man falls into disgrace. we have only to say,
that he is in bad odar, and we have fully con-
yeyed our meaning to the most ordinary ca
pacitY. Here, too, is a tacit admission of the
necessity for some moral renovation, like
that which is accomplished in the physical
domain by the diSigectiRg rirtueS of DARBY's
