FREE PASS
INTO OFFICE.
Invariably Result Of Lambasting
the Railroads.
So Says The Jackson News Of
Recent Date.
That Paper Up Against Hon. A.
Q. May, State Railroad Com
missioner From South
ern District.

CTATE railroad commissions prob
ably cause more trouble, disputes
anu NASTY" feelings than any
other state Office. Just now, accord
ing to special from jackson to New
Orleans paper, IA very spirited contro-
yersy Is in progress between Hon.
A. Q. May, state railroad commission
or from the southern district, and the
editor of the jackson News. The News
contained an editorial severely taking
to. task the railroad commission for its
meddlesomeness and unwarranted OPP
preston OF the railroads in Mississippi,
aud stating that the proposition to
compromise the injunction suits re-
straining the operation of the mileage
tariff on cotton seed came from the
railroad commission and not the at
torneys for the Illinois Central railroad.
Commissioners May gave out breezy
reply denying the allegations and the
News now repeats its former assertions
and expresses the opinion that the
commission is useless appendage to
the state government and has accom-
plished little or no good since its es-
adjustment. The News contends that
the commission spends its time in or
dering few depots at cross roads sta
tions and sidetracks at unimportant
places, while every concession that is
secured from the railroads by the va
riOus towns of the state has come from
the exertions of the business people of
the community, and after conference |
with the railroad officials in which the
commission took no part.
''The News also charges that nearly
every public official in Mississippi has
rode into Office by running about the
state lambasting the railroads for seek
ing to eat up the people and lambast-
ing the corporations for their fearful
greed"
This causes the Lexington Adyer-
tiser to emit the following: "From
the foregoing it will be seen that our
esteemed contemporary, the Jackson
News. places the railroad commission
up against it by asserting
that it is useless appendage.' Now,
4 the News had called the commission
Mississippi's ornamental appendage,
We might be tempted to agree. Use
ess' is not in keeping with the ele-
.ancy of the position. In the first
lace no one but poplar statesman
nth cypress veneering can obtain f
'osition of such graceful Importance $
nd magnificent emoluments. Second C
y: There must be commission to t.
1atch the railroads and keep them b
rom manacling our people while SUI d
inely reposing on their imaginary a
ecurity." fl

Danger Signal,

Remember that your kidneys act as
the cesspool of the human body, into
which all the impurities of the system
are continually dumped for purifica-
ton, and when the kidneys fail to prop
erly perform their functions, it is a
signal of further complications. The
liver becomes clogged, the blood is
filled with uric acid poison, the heart
becomes involved, and unless the prop
er remedy is applied, your case will
soon be beyond the reach of human
skill. Smiths Sure Kidney Cure will
cure you in less time and at less ex-
pense than any other medicine in the
world, and it is guaranteed. Price, 80
cents per bottle. For sale by c.. E.

from an Italian physician, says
tn, Minneapolis Tribune. He
bought a number of raw vegeta-
b1es in the market and washed
them in stcrilized water, andthen
subjected the water to micro
scropic examination. From let
tuce, radishes, celery, cabbage
and other table vegetables he
obtained no less than 81 species
of microbes or bacilli, including
the minute organisms which arc
supposed to breed tapeworm,
lockJaw, typhoid, rheumatism,
etc. Following are some of the
formidable names which hegives
to his discoveries: various kinds
of amoebac, the eggs Of taenie,

micrococci, stapiylococci, strep-
