mentary statement of needs for the
ensuing biennial period, in which they
ask to have the one-flfth mill levy In
creased to two-fifths. or in lieu thereof
an appropriation OF at least $l50,OOO.
President Baker states that 1t Is now
costing 100000 per year for the mere
running expenses of the institution,
and that the one-fifth of mill now re-
ceived from the state provides little
more than half that amount.
The regents state that the following
improvements are needed at the uni
yerslty:

LIBERIA HAS NO
 CHARM FOR SAMBO
SPIES WENT TO FOREIGN LAND TO FIND OUT THE REAL SlTuA- TON, AND THEIR REPORT IS NOT TEMPTING.

Courtland. February 1o.-(Special)- Some months since, a one-armed negro named Carmichael, came to this neigh borhood, and began to agitate the col ored population on the question of emil grating to Liberia He painted glowing pictures of the far off land, which he described as a veritable land of milk and honey His proposition to them was bet ter than the forty acres and mule scheme. and his glowing description of the county came very near disorganizing the farm labor of this section. He or ganized the negroes into clubs for the purpose of sailing to Liberia. making each member of the club put up $1. that they would be on hand when the ship sailed from Savannah, which was at first set for the 1st of December. The 1st of December came and those who had paid a dollar each were notified that for some reason, the vessel that was to carry them to the promised land would not sail before March 15. They became suspicious and decided to send out some spies to the promised land, and sent two negroes to Liberia to investigate. These negroes have just returned home, and the tale they have to tell never fails to bring tears to the eyes of the listener, especial ly if he happen to be one of the selected few Cor rather many) who have given ur i the dollar earnest money" These men say that from the time they left Savan
 nah. Ga., up to the time they returned to that port, they never laid eyes on 2 1 horse, mule or other blow animal; thai day labor Is paid cents per day and board. and railroad laborers IS cents The board they say consists of boiled rice with no meat To say that the ne groes here, who have sold all of their possessions and failed to rent for the present year are angry is putting il lightly.
 They say that if they can get hold of Carmichael, they will make him think that this country is warmer than Liberia.

 Important Bill.
 Among the important bills introduced in the house today was one by MT Ar hold providing that the maximum salary of a third-grade teacher in the public schools shall be $30 month, and of a second-grade teacher $50. First-grade teachers are allowed to receive as much as they can pursuade the trustees to pay them.
 MT. Leigh of Escambia introduced a bill which emphasizes the progressive spirit of his county in educational mat ters, providing for a summer normal school
 MT. Espy introduced several bills pro- viding for the location of a county seat in the new county of Houston, and the machinery for setting the new county going. One of them provides that the officers shall be appointed by the gov ernor.
 MT. Lusk returned to the railroad prob lem again with bill to prohibit the roads from issuing free passes to any officer, county state or municipal, or such of ficer from using them.
 MT. Hoffmans bill to amend section 4457 of the code increases the salary of the second clerk in the convict bureau from $12OO to S15O0 year.
 MT Hoffman also introduced a bill to appropriate enough money to pay the solicitor of the Thirteenth circuit back commissions now due him.
 Among the bills which came in from committees with favorable reports was the revenue bill with substitute. The , substitute drops out the stamp tax, the 75 per cent insurance assessment clause on stocks of merchandise. and the tax on the gross incomes of public utility cor poratons. Thus all matters from which the new bill proposed to extract more revenue disappear except a few unimpor- tant ones like the increased license on bucket shops and a license on cold stor- age plants.
 The Waddell bill for the enforcement of the orders of the railroad commission was reported favorably with a substitute Also his bills for the prompt payment of overcharges and giving the commission the same power over freight depots as it now has over passenger depots.

VITAL FORCE
Is Crushed By Chronic Troubles.

One of the most weakening. undermin- ing troubles, which mankind is heir to is hemorrhoids or piles. The victim Is care less and negectful of the disease at first because the pain is slight and the bleed ing may only occur occasionally. or he may be reassured by the occasional dis appearance of the symptoms. And yet if at the very start he had found ratiopal remedy to soothe the inflammation. he would probably never have had return of this irritating ma1ady.
 Piles may develope at any season of the year, and at almost any age of the vic- tim; the abuse of cathartics often causes this trouble, and a period arrives when the dread of pain at stool becomes so great that the sufferer begins to neglect the calls of nature, and the bowels are either forced to retain the feces or are only partially cleared, on account of the suffering attendant upon a thorough movement.
 Before you reach this stage use a rem edy which removes the cause, thereby eradicating the disease. and that Is the Pyramid Pile Cure which is sold by all druggists at fifty cents a package; 1t Is in the form of a suppository, is applied directly to the parts affected and brings about complete cure, quickly and pain lessly. A valuable little book on the cause and cure of piles Is published by the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich, and we advise every sufferer to send for a copy of 1t.
 People who have suffered from piles for years are often astonished at the in- stant relief experienced from the first application. Another important advantage is the fact that anyone can use the rem edy without detention from business or interference with daily occupation.
 T feel it my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure. for after suffering ten years with a most distressing form of Piles, I am entirely cured, thanks to this remedy. Anyone doubting this can write to Margaret Brady, l56 Whitman St.. Cleveland, Ohio"

THE SENATE.

In the senate today an attempt was made, in spite of the constitution to pass bill increasing the salaries of Su- preme court judges, chancellors and the supernumerary judge who are now in of- fee. Senator Hogue made a fight against the bill on the score of its unconstitu- tionality, and an amendment was adopted postponing its operation to the officers who shall succeed those now Tn office. This amendment having destroyed the prime purpose of the bill, 1t was recom- mitted, MT. Backmon making that mo- ton. Senator Norman opposed the bill on the ground that the circuit judges are not overworked except here and there, and this can be remedied by equalizlng the circuits. The motion that the raise do not apply to the present judges was made by Senator Bullock, and a motion to table 1t was lost by vote or F to 20.
 The senate passed the bills which pro- vide for uniformity in the law governing the deaf and dumb school. One of them regulates the election of trustees on the precise plan adopted with reference to the university.
