be Burr's name and the date. After
the exposition it will be kept in some
appropriate place.. Mr.. r. Brandt
has sold out here and the whole fami-
ly will move to Athens, Ga. Mr.
Brandt will go November 1st and the
family will go a month or two later,
He was doing a splendid and rapidly
increasing business here; but the death
of an old man in Athens left an open
ing there which was too tempting to
resist. Yesterday morning, Mr.. w.
o. Guy showed us a handful Of young
cotton bolls perforated by the boil
worm. Some of these bolls were half
grown, while others were barely out OF
the blossom when attacked; but at
whatever stage, they at once shriveled
and died. Asked If the damage was
extensive enough to affect the crop,
Mr.. Guy said it would cut off from a
fourth to third or more. In fact, the
August crop is practically destroyed.
But for the worm, he says, the cotton
crop would have been heavy. Mr.. Guy
tells us that the boil worm is identical
with the worm that bores into the
points of roasting ears, and that 1t is
much worse in a wet season. Col.
Willie Jones, who was a candidate
for United States senator now proposes
that all the candidates stand aside and
give Wade Hampton a unanimous
nomination. 1t has been suggested that
this would be a deserved compliment
and repair a great wrong. We admit
that this is true. and we should have
rejoiced to see him thus honored be-
fore he had reached such an age; but
we doubt the wisdom of it now, when
viewed from the standpoint of public

A FIENDISH ATTACK.

An attack was lately made on
c. F. Collier of Cherokee, Iowa,
that nearly proved fatal. 1t came
through his kidneys. His back
got so lame he could not stop
without great pain, nor sit in a
chair except when proped by
cushions. No remedy helped
him until he tried Electric Bit
tiers which effected in such a
wonderful change that he writes
that he feels like a new man,

Crimes Too Frequent.

There was difficulty up at Co.
lumbus the other day in which
Capt Willis L. Harris was shot
and killed by Joe Calvin a po-
liceman. 1t seems that the
shooting was unprovoked and
that after Calvin was put in Jail
there was serious talk of taking
him out and lynching him.
Murders are committed more
frequently and on less provoca-
ton these days than ever known
before. 1t seems to be mania
and grows worse daily while 1t IS
seldom there Is legal hanging.
This accounts for the great num-
Der of lynchings. If the courts
do not protect life, liberty and
property the people will take the
matter into their own hands ana
deal out vengeance.
We have too much law and
laws with too many loopholes. 1t
is common expression that any
man with means can apparently
commit the greatest crime and
come clear. With this impress
sion embedded on the minds of
the people it is no wonder that
there are so many homicides and
SO many lynchings. -Hattlesburg

A Worthy Successor,
Something New Under The
Sun.

All Doctors have tired TO cure
CATARRH by the use of powders, in
halcrs, acid gases and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the mu-
cous membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalels have entirely eaten
away the same membranes that their
makers have aimed to cure, while pastes
and ointments cannot reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner who
has for many years made Il close study
and speciality of the treatment of
CATARRH, has at last perfected a
treatment which, when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but permanent
~ cuVes CATARRH, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and
curing all inflammation. 1t is the only
remedy known to science that actually
reaches tie afflicted parts. This Won
derful remedy is known as "SNCFFhES,
the GUARANTEED CATARRH CURE"
and is sold at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, each package containing in
ternal and external medicine sufficient
for a full months treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use
"SNUFFLES" is the only perfect
CATAKRH CURE ever made and is
now recognized as the only safe and
positive cure for that annoying and dis
gushing disease. 1t cures all inflanima-
ton quickly and permanently and is also
wonderfully quick to remove Hay Fever
or Cold in the Head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads
to ConsumptiOn-''SNUFFLES" will
save you if you use it at once. 1t is no
ordinary remedy, but complete treat

SCHOOL GIRLS,
Sensation Created at NIilledgc-

Terrible Arrangement of
President by Head of
School

Milledgeville, Ga, Oct -.
President Chappcll arraigned
President Roosevelt today be-
fore four hundred young women
of the Women's Industrial School
of Georgia, and it was one of the
severest that has been passet
upon the president since the
Booker Washington incident.
President Chappell said:
STUDY the races of mankind
and you will find that the South
ern Anglo-Saxon is the highest
state of development and the ne
gro is the lowest. The negro,
when left to himself, never did
anything toward promoting civil
ization, but remained in state
of barbarism and savagery.
What God has so wisely or
dered not ten thousand Teddy
RooseveltS can alter. No simp-
ering negrophilist can establish
social equality between the two
races any more than you can mix
oil and water.
"Any man who would advocate
the bringing together of such a
social union or who would take
the first step looking to that end
deserves the loathing of all south
ern women.
Il hope that you young women
who are before me and who rep
resent the flower of our south
land will dismiss the name of
Roosevelt from your mindsas you
would some impure monster. "
The lecture Of President
Roosevelt was listened to by
many people other tran those di-
rectly connected with the college,
and has created sensation
throughout the state. Meridian

What Boys Need to Know.

President Forgan Of the First National
bank Of Chicago gave the address to the
graduating class of Lake Forest univer-
sity week or so ago. In this he outlined
the educational qualifications for success
IN business. They were few and simple:
first.-To be able to write a legible
hand and to make good figures and place
them correctly.
Seeond.-To add, subtract. multiply and
divide rapidly and accurately.
Thlrd.-'To be able to write clear,
brief, grammatical letter with every word
spelled correctly.
Mr. Forgan says the young men who
can do all these are rare. He has en-
ployed many boys fresh from the gram
mar and high schools and even from col
legos, and all OF them failed in some of
these simple tests. Ignorance of the
