vERNON,s VIEWS.
The Gentleman from shelby on
the Senatorial and Other
Questions.

A reporter of the LEDGER founC
Mr.. j. w. Vernon in a hall. way o
the courthouse this morning, anC
asked him a few questions. The frs.
was, When did you return"
This morning. was tho reply
The house adjourned at noon yester.
day, to meet again Monday, when the
senate will be organized, aud botl
houses ready for business.
"Are both parties organized az well?'
asked the reporter.
Il cant say that answered Mr..
Vernon. "The republican party is or
ganized, l know, and the smiliDgest
set Of men you ever saw. They are
all in a good humor."
Are the state credit men recon
ciled to their brethren of the low tax
wing YETI"
II cannot say they are" Mr.. Yer
0 said. The spirit of concession
is not very prominent with
either side. The legislature, you
know, is democratic, but we managed
to elect all republican officers in the
house."
Is there any probability Of Gov.
Hawkins receiving the republican
votes for United States senator a week
from Tuesday next, when the question
is taken up?
He is spoken Of, but l think May
nard will be the man. He is the
choice Of the party Mr.. Vernon re-.
piled.
DO you think the democrats will
unite on n man2'' asked the reporter.
THAT is not very easy to say" an
swered Mr.. Vernon. but | think
that should a democratic senator be
elected he will DO named by the low
tax wing"
"Will it be Savagey
mo, | think not, but l am satisfied
Savage will Hame him"
rs there any chance for B%ailey2"
tho reporter inquired.
Il have considered Bailey out of the
race, butheisstill talked ola greatdeal.
The state credit democrats hope that
in the event of a failure of the republi-
cans to elect their man, they will take
Bailey as the democrat best suited to
their views"
rs there anything in this?'
Cant say" answered Mr. Vernon
la~conicaIly.
You r pretty sure Of electing a
republican to the senate yourselves2"
said the reporter.
We can't be certain of anything of
course, but the two parties ballot so
closely, we r more than hopeful Of
success replied MIR. Vernon.
The reporter then asked a few ques-
tons relative to the Taxing District,
and was answered that all the mem
bers from Shelby, so far as Mr. Vernon
knew, we're in favor of the present
form Of government. Messrs, /. NJ.
Hill, J. H. Smith aad VIM. NJ. Smith
are all in the city on a visit.

MEsMERIc LECTURE.
At Mannerchor hall, last night, a
psychological and mesmerisic lecture
interested a largo attendance OF people.
DR.. Henry was the lecturer, and his
audience, from the opening to tho
close, we're entertained and interested
without a break. A feature ola mys-
teal nature was the fact that, Of ten
young gentlemen selected from the
audience, Eve we're placed thoroughly
under mesmeric control, and having
no will but that of obedience 10 the
mesmerizer. They we're made to per-
form a varied list of capering antics
for the amusement Of the spectators
The young men were perfectly con,
scious throughout, but, being power
less, except to do as DR.. Henry direct
ed, they carried on in q very lively
way. The audience, besides being
amused, was also much edited by the
learned remarks Of the lecturer.

We are to have a grand Mardi Gras
display on tho first Of March, forty
days ahead. The Sublime Ouro Of
the Mystic Memphih oralds it through
an advance trumpeter, and he hints
at a marvellous concourse Of the most
brilliant type, without precedence IN
magnitude, method and beauty. The
work has been progressing quietly,
but with unremitting industry, for
many months past. 1t seems to have.
been fully decided on long before the
labor of preparation began, but until
now little or nothing has been said in
a public way. Those familiar with
the mysterious way the Memphi have
Of managing their displays, and others,
who have peeped into the labyrinths
Of their den, declare that nothing so
surprisingly gorgeous has ever been
designed. The ceremonies are talsx
tend through two days, and an
extensive daylight procession, il.
Illustrating the arts and trades, Is
mentioned as one Of the prominent
features. The reception Of King
Menus with his usual retinue and
paraphernalia is also expected to be q
pleasurable as we'll as a prominent
item. On Tuesday night the Memphi
are to emerge in all ofthe magnificent
splendor Of their array to delight and
astopish the multitude with their
lovely aud brilliant procession, wind
ing up with the usual reception at the

About Bliss BIZ.

large it is, is exorbltant. We should

would be unsafe and PROBABLY "a un.

question to be decided in DR.. Bliss
case is, What are his services ordin-
arily worth? To determine that
question it is only necessary 70 sscer-
tain, fret, whether the services were.
in point OF fact, beneficial to the
patient, and secondly, wha. was the
market rate for such services as Bliss
pretended to render? It goes almost
without saying that his income in
common average years has not been

The day can not be worth 1912.

Hurried Dinners.

1t is a mistake to eat quickly.
Mastication performed in haste
must be imperfect even with the
best of teeth, and due admixture Of
the saliyary secretion with the food
cannot take place. When a crude
mass of inadequately crushed mus
cular fibre, or undivided solid mate
rial of any description, is thrown
into the stomach, it acts as me-
chanical irritant, and sets up a con-
dltion in the mucous membrane lin
ing that organWhich greatly impedes,
if it does not altogether prevent, the
process Of digestion. When the prac-
tlce OF eating quickly and filling the
stomach with unprepared food is ha-
bltual, the digestive organ is rem
dered incapable of performing its
proper functions. Either a
much larger quantity of food
than would be necessary under
natural conditions is required, OF
the system suffers from want of
nourishment. Those animals which
were intended to feed huriedly were
either gifted with the power of ru-
mlnation or provided with gizzards.
Man is not so furnished, and it is fair
to assume that he was intended to
eat slowly. We must apologize for
reminding our readers Of facts so IA
miliar; but we do this in the hope
that any who may chance to have
influence with the managers of large
hotels where dinners q la table d.
hOte are in vogue will take measures
to bring about much-needed reform
IN the manner in which these enter
tainments are conducted. AT the
best and must frequented establish
ments in places of fashionable re-
sort, where at this season multitudes
OF health-Seekers are wont to con-
gregate, the hurried dinners are not
only sources Of annoyance, but actu-
ally go far to prevent the benefit
which should be derived from a
change. No sooner is one course
served than another is introduced,
without giving the guest time to di-
gest or even to swallow the first.
The eagernesS to secure good diyi-
dends takes a particularly mischiev-
Gus form when It piles food on the
plate Of a customer, and compels
him to consume it breathlessly. The
matter may seem small one, but it
is not so. Just as man may go on
for years with defective teeth, i'm
perfectly masticating his food. and
wondering why he suffers from in
digestion, so man may habitually
live under an infiction of hurried
dinners, and endure the consequent
loss Of health, without knowing why
he is not well, or how easily the
cause Of his illness might be rene
