farm, eight miles from Raleigh
the sixth of eight sons. He was
educated in the common schools
OF the county; afterward took a
course at the University; was ad-

and was elected to same office at
the general election in 1891 AT
the completion of his term he was
elected warden of the penitentia-

Here is an excellent cholera or
cholera morbus cure, q yeritable
standard remedy, inexpensive
and worth the while for every
head u a family to purchase and
keep in the house. A two ounce
bottle only is necessary to hold
tho prescription, which consists
of one-half ounce Of tincturc of
opium, oue-half ounce tincture
OF rhubarb, one half ounce spir-
its of camphor and one-half
ounce essence Of peppermint.
This remedy has been tried a
thousand times and a thousand
times not found wanting. Cholera
morbus attacks generally come
in the night when the aid Of a
physician is apt to be much more
remote than it is in the day time,
and when drug stores are shut
up. A bottle Of this remedy kept
in the house is certain to relieve
suffering. 1t may prevent death
A dose Of it for adults is from fif-
teen to thirty drops taken in

THE LEGISLATOR.

Possibly no officer Of tho State

the fact that the agencies that we

The professor OF Economics in
Johns Hopkins University has
been engaged for some time in col
leeting material for a volume on
"TaxAtion in the Southern Com
monwe alths, and it will shortly
be ISSUED by the Johns Hopkins
Press. Each state was assigned
10 d specialist in such investiga-
tions. Prof. Chas. II. Brough,
who SO ably fills the chair Of His
tory and Economics in Mississippi
College, at Clinton, was commits
stoned for Mississippi, and most
patiently, perseyeringly, plod-
dinghy, has he pursued the diff
cult task. lie has made several
visits to all the departments of the
State capitol during the last six
months, and has gone back each
time loaded with books and pam
phlets bearing on the subject as
signed him. If we couldn't an
swer all his questions, we put him
on the track where to find them
His work haze been. faithfully ard
capably performed. In reaching
conclusions, he was guided by
facts and figures in official re-
ports, aggregated and averaged
for q long series Of years.
Prof. Brough has figured it out
that the average rate of state tax
alton for the past twenty two
years, including 1876, has been
4 and 66-100th mills, as opposed
to 8 end ST. Tooth mills for the six
years : sI2econstruction,' period.
The average rate Of county tax
alton for the same period has been
IL lilo as opposed to u 40 100
for the six Reconstruction years.
Combining the average for the
two periods, we find the saving in
last twenty-five years to be 5 60
100, or S5. 80 on $1,000. He fur
ther asserted, with emphasis, that
the system nld rate of taxation in
Mississippi from 1876 to 1898, has
been as equitable and economical
as those Of any other southern
state.
In connection with the sketch
OF Mississippi in Congress" pre-
pared rthis issue Of the Gazette,
take the liberty of extracting an
extremely interesting paragraph
from a letter Just received from
