THE COUNTY SURVEYOR.

Since the resignation of Mr..
a. G. Dancey some months ago
the county has not had a survey
or, although there is frequent de-
mandl for one. The matter pos
sibly has been overlooked hereto
fore, but is important and should
be attended to without delay.
There are very few men in the
county competent to fill the place
acceptably, but we have in mind
one who is eminently qualified
and who says he will accept it if
rendered him. We refer to Mr..
Henry Terry. Upon notification
by the board of supervisors of the
and a simple request,
Governor Longino would doubt

PoPULIST PARTY PERIsHED.

A Jackson special to the Bir-
mingham News says: The death
knell of the populist party in
Mississippi has been sounded, and
the organization is now declared
out of existence in the counties
where it has heretofore flourished
with an almost dominant mem
bership. A few days since a lit
tie handful of men who still main
tain faith in the principles of
populism met in Kemper county
to revive the official organization,
but the meeting was a drag from
start to finish, and finally wound
up by a declaration of the party's
death and the announcement that
1.-THE ashes from off life's ex-
tinguished tapers have fallen and
the light of existence has gone
out forever"
In the adJolnlng counties TO
Kemper, where populists former
ly existed in large numbers, the
party organization has lapsed,
and even Hon. Frank Burkitt,
the acknowledged state leader,
and who was candidate for
vice-president on the middle-of-
the-road ticket in 1896, is coquet-
ting with the democratic party,
and is expected to rejoin the
ranks of the party he left in the
early days of populism. pr. r.

candidate for governor in 1890, |

Poisoning the System.

1t is through the bowels that the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipation
keeps these poisons in the system, caus-
at first, then unsightly eruptions and
finally serious illness unless a remedy is
applied. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
prevent this trouble by stimulating the
liver and promote easy, healthy action
of the bowels. These little pills do not
act violently but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work. Never grippe or distress.-E

least one man has discovered

THIS BOY HAD ONE.

EDITOR COMMERCIAL:
| read your editorial Sunday
morning headed, ''Disgraceful,
Shameful" and l presumed, as
other parents, that the reference
to the small boy carrying a pistol
did not apply to mine, but during
the day the subject weighed on
my mind so that | determined to
watch my son. After tea Sunday
night I took seat on my front
veranda and when my boy came
out, presumably starting to
church, called him to me and,
as | had often done when he was
smaller, pulled him fondly into
my lap. Without intimating the
object Of my affection | made it
C lnvenient to rub my hands over
his body, and you can imgine my
horror when I discovered that my
boy was among the number who
are carrying pistols. | would not
have believed it had | not seen it.
My boys excuse was that sail
the boys, nearly, have them and
| don't see why | can't have one,
too" He hasn't any now, and
by the help of God he never will
have another, or if he does he
will not keep it very long, for
intend to break him of the habit.
l thank you for your editorial
and hope that every parent in
Columbus willtuk the same steps
which | have taken, or some
other, to break up the nefarious
habit. X. X. X.

AT Collins, Miss, the OF h r
day, a boy ten years old was ar
rested for murder, and another,
fourteen years old was indicted
for running a blind tiger. This
is the result of improper training,
and is what may be expected of
boys whose parents do not pay
as much attention To them as they
