Explains NJ alters.

Editor Advertiser: 1 have seen the con-
action of the superintendent of the Lep-
er Settlement in furnishing certain ship
wrecked sailors from the steamer Lehua
with coffee prepared by lepers some time
last week. These sailors were landed
ashore through mishap to their boat.

shivering with cold, and suffering great
ly from hunger, and the captain of the
steamer and their fellow shipmates could
not lend them aid on account Of the
rough sea- And because of their condi-
ton they were clothed with articles of
wear from the Kalaupapa store, also
drank coffee in the shop owned by a
ileper. If the men had not got relief In
time, they certainly would have perish

Iit then wrongful to relieve those who

During the period when Ambrose was
acting superintendent vessels bearing
committees often came, then and even
till now. friends and relatives who were
most anxious to meet their beloved

them; and they were allowed to eat
drink and mingle together with the lep'

not interfered with by the superintend

CAUSE OF FALLING HAP.
Dandruff, Which Is Germ Disease
Kill the Germ.

Failing hair is caused by dandruff,
which is germ disease. The germ, in
burrowing in to the root of the hair,
where it destroys the vitality of the
hair. causing the hair to fall out, digs
up the cuticle in little scales called
dandruff or scurf. You can't stop the
falling hair without curing the dand-
ruff, and you can't cure the dandruff
without killing the dandruff germ
Destroy the cause. you remove the eff

hair preparation that kills the dand-
ruff germ. Herpicide is also a de-
ilightful hair dressing

A Famous Old Ante-Bellun
Mansion,

Concord" one of the most histori-
cal ante-bellelum mansions of Natchez,
and the home of the Spanish Governor,
Carlos de Grand Pre-, and Gov. Man
uel Gayoso de Lemas, was recently
burned. The mansion was erected
for Gov. Grand Pre- in 1850, the mar
BILE steps, cornices and mantelS being
brought from Spain. 1t was beauti-
full two story brick and marble struct-
ure, with two circular flights of mar
BILE steps leading from the ground to
the second floor and the customary
Spanish gallery extending about the
house. Its original cost cannot be es-
timate1, but some of the rare old
furniture and mahogany bookcases
were priceless. When first built it
was called Grand Pre-" but when Gov.
Gayoso succeeded Grand Pre- he
changed the name to Concord" sym
bolical of the feeling of unity between
the citizens, Indians and the Spanish
government. On Gayoso's recall in
1898 Concord was occupied by his sue
cessor, Don Stephen Minor, of Phila-
delphia, The house remained in the
possession of the Minors until few
years ago, when it became the proper
ty of DR.. Stephen Kelly, formerly of
Natchez, but now president of the
Fifth National Bank, New York. His
son and bride arrived the day before
it was burned. Concord" was insured
for 5000
In the early days of Natchez Con
cord" was the scene of the most mag
niticent entertainments ever given in
the South. In its sumptuous parlors
Gen. Anthony Wayne, Lafayette, Nc
Cleary Sargent, Jefferson Davis and
Judah p benjamin were entertained.
1t was at one time the home of
phil Nolan, the original character o f
Edward Everett Hale's novel, "The
Man Without a Country" The last
entertainment of note at Concord
was given by the Duke and Duchess of
Manchester on the occasion of their
recent visit to Natchez.

A QUESTION OF TAXATION.

Whether a corporation which owns
real estate should be assessed for taxa
ton on its full corporate stock, or
whether its property holdings should
be set out separately on the assess
ment rolls is a question which has
been submitted to Attorney General
McClurg by A. W. Stands, Of Sardis.
Should a lumber company, for exam
pie, with a capital stock of $4,000,
$4,000 of which is invested in proper
ty, be assessed on its aggregate capital
stock, or on each individual class of
its property? The attorney general
has advised that the assessment be
made on the full amount of capital
stock, as required by section 3,75S of
the code, and then credit the assess
ment according to its real value with
the amount of real and personal prop
erty owned by the corporation. He
says:
"a lumber company of $4,000 paid
up caplJdI, Oh WHICH clU,ODO mas Deen
invested in real estate and 5000 in
personal property, the real estate is
regularly rendered on the land roll,
and the personal property on the per-
sonal roll, the difference between these
two sums and the capital stock paid in
is also paid on from the personal roll,
which should be the full amount of
the paid-up capital stock, credited by
the amounts of the real and personal
property, as above stated"

NEEDED AMENDMENTS.

The Aberdeen Examiner, thick
and thin ti-prohibtion paper, speak
ing of the blind tiger nuisance, has at
last come round to the position advo-
Gated by THE LEADER and other prohi-
bitionists for years. 1t says:
The "blind tiger" problem can only
be solved in one way: That is to have
the government so amend the internal
revenue laws as to forbid the issue of
license in every case until the appli-
cant shall produce license issued by
his own local and state authorities.
Nineteen out of every twenty retailers
who ar defying the State laws and
carrying on the illicit traffic almost
as openly as licensed vendors, has a
United States license in his pocket, or
posted in compliance with federal
statute.
Such a change in the internal reve-
nue. laws would no doubt go a long
way toward DISCRIMINATING the blind
tigers. And, meantime, while such
federal legislation is being awaited
the State prohibition laws should be
so amended as to make the possession
of United States internal revenue
license prima facie evidence that the
holder is violating the State law.

Railroad Building.

Within the present week the Illinois
Central road will let the contract for
the construction of forty passing
tracks between Hazlehurst and New
Orleans, distance of about 40 miles.
The tracks are to be $500 feet in
length, or total of 10000 feet of new
track, approximately q miles. The
bids for the grading work are now be-
ing considered by the officials and
there is some reason to believe that
local contractors will get good share
of the work. The cost of the grading
work alone will be about 100000. The
Company will use its own labor in lay
ing ties and rails.
This is another step toward a com
plete double track between. Jackson
and New Orleans, which has hereto
fore been mentioned. The passing
tracks will be constructed in the same
manner as the main line track, and
when the Company gets ready to fill
the gaps and passing" tracks can be
utilized to the full extent. Clarion

THE SUNDAY LAW.
\ Communication from DIR. W
Il. Murrah on the Subject.

Editor the Clarion-Ledger:
Our city authorities are to be com
mended for their zeal in behalf of Sab
bath observance. That opposition has
been aroused emphasizes the fact that
they have not moved too soon in this
important matter.
A distinctive Christian Sunday is
one of the chief glores of our Anglo.
Saxon civilization, and when anything
appears that looks in the direction of
the continental Sabbath the alarm
should be sounded promptly and
loudly.
/ have been surprised at the curious
suggestion that jackson is getting too
large for rigid Sunday law. London,
the metropolis of the world, gives us a
conspicuous example of high regard
for the Christian Sabbath. We all
know the distinction Glasgow enjoys
in this particular. The cities of Can
ada are renowned throughout the
world for strict Sabbath Observance,
and the most attractive cities of the
United States make the boast that this
is one of their cherished character
istics.
Let US not have any loose notions on
this subject in Jackson. We could
incur no greater reproach. 1t is to be
hoped, therefore, that our Mayor and
aldermen will have the enthusiastic
approval of all our citizens in the de-
termination they have evinced to en-
force the Sunday law.

Mississippi can boast citizen who
has seen three centuries, and who is
now in good enough health to warrant
the prediction that she will see good
deal of the third one before passing
away. She is Mrs Vina Yeager, aged
105 years, now living in Neshoba coun-
ty. Her claim to this distinction is by
a Confederate vetaran of that county
in communication to the Greenville
Democrat. She was born in LeXing-
ton Parish, S. c., in 1876. Her father
fought in the battle of Bunker Hill,
and was brave soldier throughout the
Revolutionary war. Her husband,
Madison Yeager, was soldier of the
war of 1912, and was with Gen. Jack
son at the battle of New Orleans. He
was afterward volunteer in Col. JEFF
ferson Davis regiment, which so dis
tinguished itself at the battle of Buena
Vista. Six stalwart sons of hers
were in the Confederate army.-Mis-

1t is intimated here aud there that
persons are holding office in this State
who are poll tax delinquenss. The
constitution provides that none but
qualified electors are eligible to office
Poll tax delinquents are barred by the
constitution from voting or holding
office. If the delinquent debtor for a
poll tax can continue to hold office to
which he was eligible when elected,
why cannot the non-r resident, the de-
faulter for public moneys and the fell
on do the samei Where such persons
hold office, 1t is the duty of the press
to scourge them from office by arous-
ing public indignation against them,
and if they refuse to resign, then the
district attorneys of the State should
institute quo warranto proceedings to
GUST them. The published or posted
lists Of tax delinquents in the several
counties will discover who are in de-
fault.-Mississippi Picdytne Bureau.

A Good Word for the Jews.

| have never been able to compre-
bend the reason, excuse or justifica-
ton for the prejudice that turks in the
minds of some little people against the
Jews, as a race. That there are some
dirty, thieving rascals among them is
true-but not more than among other
races. The truth is, as race they are
the most law-abiding PEOPLE in the
world. AS an evidence of that fact
you seldom find a Jew in the criminal
courts. Obedient to authority, patri-
otto, charitable, sympathetic, loyal to
friend and fair to foe, they make the
ideal citizen. They are thrifty, provi-
dent, steadfast in their religious con
victions, yet absolutely tolerant of the
religions of other people. repeat, /
cannot understand the prejudice, and
| am glad to know that with rare ex-
ceptions, it is found only in the breast
of the ignorant and vicious.-Common

Governor Longino has refused to
interfere in the case of William La
nier who is to be hanged at Aberdeen
tomorrow. Mrs. Lanier, the mother
of the condemned man, made strong,
fearful appeal to the Governor last
week to commute the sentence of the
condemned to life Imprisonment, but
the Governor could find no mitigating
circumstances in the record and will
allow the law to take its course. Mrs.
Lanier has succeeded in arousing
considerable sympathy on account of
her pitiable condition, being without
any means of support and her hus-
band and two other sons now in the
penitentiary, and if it were a case
where sympathy could with propriety
dominate the action of the executive,
we are sure no one would be more
ready than Gov. Longino, who is a
sympathetic and noble-hearted man,
to respond to it's impulse; but there
are many times in the experience of
the conscientious governor when SYM
pathy must stand subordinate to pub
lie duty, and Governor Longino's firm
ness, under the circumstances cited, is
highly commendable. There has been
too much misapplied clemency toward
murderers in Mississippi, and the re-
suit is, more and more murderers.

HAVE A DRINK.
DIR. Buckley's Famous Reply to
Col. Ingersoll's Invitation.

Said Ingersoll to the great DIR. Buck
ley: II send you some of the most
wonderful whisky that ever drove the
skeleton from the feast or painted
landscapes in the brain of man. IL is
mingled souls of wheat and corn. In
it you will find sunshine and shadows
that chase each other over the billowy
fields, the breath of June, the carol of
the lark, the dew of the night, the
wealth of summer and autumn's rich
content, all golden and imprisoned
light. Drink it aud you will hear the
voices of men and maidens singing
Harvest Home mingled with the
laughter of children. Drink it and
you will feel within your blood the
starred dawn, dreamy, tawny dusks of
perfect days. For forty years this
liquid joy has been within the slaves
of oak, longing to touch the lips of
man."
DR.. Buckley's reply was:
II send you some of the most won
derful whisky that ever brought a
skeleton into the closet or painted
scenes of lust and bloodshed in the
brain of man. 1t is the ghost of wheat
and corn craZed by the loss of their
natural bodies. In it you will find
transient sunshine chased by shadow
as cold as an arctic midnight in which
the breath of June grows icy, and the
carol of the lark gives place to the
foreboding cry of the fever. Drink it
and you will have woe, sorrow, bah
bling and wounds without cause; your
eyes will behold strange women and
your heart will utter perverse things.
Drink it deep and you shall hear the
voice Of demons shrieking, women
wailing, worse than orphaned children
mourning for the loss of their father
who still lives. Drink it deep and
long and serpents will hiss in your
ears, coil themselves about your neck
and seize you with their fangs; at last
it biteth like serpent and stingeth
like an adder. Forty years this liquid
death has been between slaves of oak,
as harmless as pure water. / send it

What Advertising Does.

Mr.. w. B. Penn is the proprietor of
a department store at Bowerston, o.
Conversion is country village of 800
Inhabitants. The town isn't large
enough to support newspaper. 1t
wouldn't support Mr.. Penn if he sat
around his stove and talked politics.
But when he opened his store he
pinned the old adage "the pen is
mightier than the sword" to his door
plate and started in to conquer all the
trade in his territory. How we'll he
succeeded is told in these few words:
mo newspaper here-use county seat
papers doing 100000 business per
year"
100000 business year in town of
500 population.
$1,000 per week.
Here is a world of argument for
newspaper advertising.
Think of making country village a
trading centre for a progressive Ohio
county.
The story of Wanamaker's success
and the Royal Baking Powders sue
cess pales beside the achiev ement of
Mr.. Penn.
How does he advertise?
Triple column, full length, written
and set up like metropolitan ad.
Neat black border, items classified,
prices for everything. generalities read
able and convincing.
What Mr.. Penn can do you can do.
But you can't do it without you ad-
vertise and stand back of every as
sertion.-America Advertiser.
