The calamity howlers in the Re-
publican party have had much to say
in denunciation Of the Wilson bill
for having reduced the wages of
workmen in this county. Inasmuch
as the Wilson bill has not yet be-
come law and the country is still
doing business ander the Mckinley
ariff, just how the Wilson bill can
be held responsible for this reduc-
tion of wages is athing past finding
out. Along with their calamity how
ling procivlties the Republicans seem
to have a very bad memory. If they
will only take time to investigate they
will discover that shortly after the
passage Of the Mckinley tariff bill
that wages we're reduced in many In
dustries and strikes occurred because
Of such reductions. All the reduc-
tion of wages that has taken place in
the last year has been Under the Nc
Kinley tariff, yet these calamityites
would have the country believe that
it is the work of the Wilson bill that
has not yet become a law, and has
no power to affect wages one way OF
another. .-Pontotoc Sentinel.

An amusing incident occurred to
ayoung Memphis lawyer the other
day in a Mississippi court. The
lawyer In question, though a young
man, scarce more than a minor, is
quite an authority on the law, and is
o member of the editorial staff of the
most famous legal publication in lhe
United States. He had been called
to the Mississippi toan on some case,
and found himself confronted by
grave and elderly counsel, who were
a little inclined to pat him on the
shoulder. Presently one of the law
yers read at some length from q law
book in support Of his case. Yes
said the Memphis lawyer, when he
had finished, 'but turn to page so
and 90, and you will find the rest of
it, which Is entirely different. When
this was done 1t wss seen that the
young man was rlglit, The surprised
lawyer looked over at the youthful
advocate In astonishment, and asked.

Oxford, Miss, March 20.--A case
which is Of interest to all prohibition
counties IN the State OF Mississippi
is to be tried at this term of the cir
cult court. There is being sold in
all dry counties in this State a drink
called "Hopfenweise," which the
vendors claim is non-alcoholic, there
fore not prohibited, but the chemist
at the University finds 5 per cent of
alcohol, and sseveral persons have
been made intoxicated by it. So the
grand jury has found several indict-
ments against the vendors. This is
to be the test case, and the best legal
talent has been employed to defend
it, and much interest is felt over the
outcome, as the State University is
located here and las large number
of students.

"Perhaps you would think 30, but
q very large proportion In New York

ing cold," says DIR. Cyrus Edison.
ut is such simple thing and so
common that very few people, unless
it is a case of pneumonia, pay any
attention to cold. New York is
one of the healthiest places on the
Atlantic Coast and yet there are a
great many cases of catarrh and con-
sumption which have their origin in
this neglect Of the simplest precau-
tion of every day life. The most
sensible advice is, when you get OF
it as soon as possible. BY all means
do not neglect it," DR.. Edison does
