their Preserver in grateful thanksgiving.
The human heart, the most active machine
which nature has provided US with, for the
carrying of the nutritive fluid through
bodies, in some cases grows weak, and
again nature meets the deficiency by caus-
ing an envelope, SO to speak, to grow
around it and strengthen its actions again.
And SO on could I quote innumerable ex-
amPles of natures great work, but for the
space I will unnecessarily occupy. Now
nature did not go back on itself when it
took under its kind care, The Mississippi
river, but to throw off the surplus water
that the river receives, natures great anti
dote is outlets. At present we have two of
the natural outlets of the Mississippi closed
up. Now natures course has been stopped,
and now can we expect to ward off the
calanites that naturally follow when a
natural course has been obstructed by high
levees, the very autithesis.
In the pioneer days of this country,
stately forests covered nearly the entire
space now occupied by the United States.
These forests were means of preservation to
rivers, by keeping large quantities of water
from them, by absorbing billions of gallons
of water from the freshets. Now, these
forests stand no more, the mighty oaks and
other trees that once rendered SO much
service have fallen by the hand of man;
villages, towns and cities have been erected
in their stead, and water that they once
kept from our rivers, now falls into them
almost unobstructed.
Look at Our position; the Mississippi re-
ceives more water than it ought to and be-
ing blocked up all sides by high levees
and not being able to out at its mouth
on account of the back waves of the gulf,
can do nothing else than break its banks
and render thousands of human beings
homeless.
1t is evident that the only means of stop
ping crevasses and any scares from
high water is to open all the natural outlets
of the Mississippi, and on account of the
extra supply of water caused by the cutting
down of the forests, build artificial outlets,
or in other words canalize it in the northern
part of the State SO as to carry the surplus
of waters of the Red river into the gulf by
the streams in the western part of our State.
Now these artificial outlets need not re-
ceive the waters the year through, they can
be made to have locks which are closed or
opened according to circumstances.
This done, 1 think we will have finished
with all such experiments as high levees,
and will in the long run save our people and
our State great deal of money.

PUBLIC OPINION
Reflected in the Papers of this
Great State.

Whatever might be said against
Senator McEnery for advocating
protection, he has never yet de-
serted the Democratic party as did
the senior Senator in the last cam
paign. 1t was we'll known that the
election of Mckinley ard his con-
troll of Congress meant the speedy
enactment of high tariff laws, and
yet Mr.. Caffery did all in his power
to make that result possible, while
Senator McEnery took the stump in
support of the candidate and plat
form of his patty. Those who wish
to forgive and forget this break of
allegiance on the part of Mr.. CAT
frey, because forsooth, he is now
against the tariff measure of the
party he assisted in electing, can do
so, but as between the two senators
we will have greater admiration
for S. d. McEnery. - Catahoula
News, Dem.
Some gushing admirer or toady
of Mckinley speaks for his e'iron
will" That is the height of irony.
Daily States. Dem.
Senator McEnery stated to a sub
committee of the Finance Commit
tee of the Senate the other day that
he favored protection for all the in
dustries, including a tariff on wool,
and that he had been protection
list for 4 long time. This announce
ment of the senator was news to his
political admirers in Louisiana, for
it contradicts his professions fer
the past twenty years. 1t has al
ways been held that he was Demo-
crat in every sense of the word, but
he is not in line with his party on
the protection idea. - Mansfield
Journal, Dem.
When Senator S. ID. McEnery
lends his support to the Dingley
tariff bill and declares himself a
Protectionist, he parts company
with his Democratic constituents
and disregards the first and founda-
tion principle of the party, in which
he has so long been enlisted. 49,
Houma Clipper, Dem.
The new tariff bill is yet hanging
fire in the Senate committee rooms.
The Democratic members are
throwing every obsticle they can in
the way of its passage and the peo-
pie of the country will hold them
responsible f r the delay.-Frank-
Hin indicator, Rep.
1t is only question Of time till
the South becomes as strong an
advocate of a protective tariff, as
she is now of free trade. Condi-
tions will soon be reversed as re-
CARDS the standing of the East and
the South, upon these questions.-
Franklin indicator, Rep.
Senator S. D. McEnery's name is
being very literally used by his
staunch Democratic friends in
North Louisiana in connection with
the Dingley tariff bill. 1t is af-
hrmed that he will vote for it. He
has not so asserted. The Times
does not believe that Senator Nc
Emery will sanction such robber
enactment, much less strike the
democratic party of Louisiana such
a cruel blow in the face. His
fealty to principle has been phe-
mammal II would aSto11n6 hiS
loyal adherents to find him
sanctioning such an undemocratic
Republican measure as the Dlngley
tariff bill.-Shreveport Times, Dem.
Blind though he is, there is moth
ing in the way of current events
that escapes the venerable chap
lain of the United States Senate.

interesting because of their general
availability The ease with which they
can be transported and the rapidity
with which they can be fired indicate
to everyone the value that they have
as weapons of destruction.
Besides these guns there are many
others that are constructed on the au-
tomato system. In some of them Mr.
Maxim has combined his work with
that of Nordefeldt, and has thereby
produced superior arms.
Mr.. MaXim's very latest form of
fully gun has a hopper feed.
The cartridges are placed in the maya
zine, which is on the top of the barrel
The recoil action of the barrel transfers
the cartridges into a tubular carrier,
thrusting them into the barrel The
breech is closed by a spring. -Four
men can carry to and place the cart
ridges into the magazine as fast as
they are fired, which is at the rate of
one a second. The bore of this arm
is two and five-eighths inches, and the
weight of the projectile is nine pounds.
The muzzle velocity is 1900 feet per
second: the cartridges are about three
Itel lOllS, anu Tic GlICCliNe range IL
5000 yards, although the total range is
much greater. 1t is considered to be
the most destructive arm in existence.
These are instruments that have rev.
olutionized the methods of warfare,
and because of their devastating eff
fects have made nations and rulers
give greater thought to the outcome of
war before entering upon projects of
conquest or battling over matters that
can be settled by arbitration They are
peace-producing and peace-retaining
terrors.-New York Times.

Ger of the most malignant type, and
after exhausting their efforts without
doing me any G God, they gave up the
case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease, they said must die, as .hered-
itary Cancer was incurab1e. II was
terribly reduced in health, and felt as
if my life was was ting away.
g At this crisis, I was advised by a
friend to try S. S. S., and in a short
while the Cancer seemed more in
famed than before. I was informed
that was favorable, however, as the
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores of the skin.
Before long the Cancer began to
discharge and continued to do so for
three months; then it began to heal.
/ continued the medicine a while
longer, until the Cancer disap-
peared entirely, and 1 enjoyed better
health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been a sign of a return of the
disease
Cancer is becoming alarmingly
prevalent, and manifests itself in
such a variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear may well be regarded with
suspicion.
The fact that S. S. S. guaranteed
purely regetdbte) cures hereditary Can
GER, which is considered incurable,
places it without an equal as a
sure cure for all manner of real blood
diseases, such as Scrofula, Eczema,
Contagious Blood Poison, or any other
form of bad blood. Our treatise on
Cancer and Blood Diseases will be

Wrencned and Hacked

BY the pangs of rheumatism, the joints
eventually become grlevously distorted
and sometimes assume an almost grOteSque
deformity. To prevent such results by a
simple and agreeable means is certainly
the part of wisdom. A tendency to rheu-
matte ailments may be successfully COM
batted with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a medicine with the prestige of a long and
successful career, of unbounded popularity,
and of emphatic professional Endorsement
1t removes from the blood those inffam-
matory impurities which pathologists as
sign as the cause of rheumatism, and not
only purifies the life current but enriches
Digestion, the action of the bowels and the
secretion of the bile, are aided by ii, and II
impels the kidneys and bladder to a regu-
lar and active performance of their func-
lions. 1t is besides a thoroughly reliable
remedy for and means of preventing peri
odic feverS.

Cancer
Can be Cured.

It is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in majority of cases it
is first indicated by very small PIN
pie or sore, to which no attention is
attracted until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
sym ptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura e. Minis has resided at
Smithville, Georgia, for years, andis
well known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of wonderful case.
She says: s. small pirnple of a
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; it soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts to check it, until it was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye
became terribly inflanled, and was so
swollen, that for quite while 1 could
not see. The doctors said had Cam
