eD a WIS Tightly Locked From Nervous SpasmS. Phy sicians S Cou1 d Not Prevent Fits. Dr. Mile S Nervine Cured
 My Wife.

Dr. Miles NeIvine has been successfully tried in thousands of cases of nervous discr- ders, but neverhas it made better record than when used in the treatment of tts or sp2sms Thousands of testimonials prove this, and Tn nearly every instance the writer has stated that the fits ceased after the first dose of Ner.. vine was given. The statement is repeated in the following:
 Seven years ago my wife commenced having spasms or fits and 1 called in my home physician and he said she was para lyzed. He rubbed her with salt water and gave her calomel and she eventually got some better, but in short time she had another attack. She was confined to her bed for three months and the doctor could not help her. She had fits frequently, some times very severe. Her hands would cramp so we could not open them and she finally got so her jaws would become locked. Finally 1 saw the doctor was doing her no good and ordered bottle of Dr. Miles Re- storative Nervine. She received so much benefit from the first bottle that got some more. She has taken a number of bottles but has never had fit since taking the frst dose She also thinks very highly of Dr. Niles Nerve and Liver Pills and is never without them. If there is any way of msk- ing this testimonial stronger do so because of the good the Dr. Miles Restorative Nerv- inc did my wife.n-WM. Y. ALLEN, P. M., Elkville, Miss.

 Respects.
THE AUDlIOR'S STATEMENT

Montgomery October 7.-(Speeial.)-The auditors statement of the annual re- ceipts by the state for the fiscal year ending September, reveals some very in- terestng facts. Foremost of these is the very large decrease in the payment of poll taxes. The constitution of 1901 makes the payment of poll tax purely yolun- tary act, the only incentive for the pay ment of the tax being the right to vote. From the large decrease shown in the payment last year it is readily seen that there are thousands of persons in the state who do not value their franchise as highly as S1.50.
 For the fiscal year ending September 90 1902, the poll tax receipts amounted to S155 573.23, but it fell off last year to slol, 644.64.
 Total Registered Vote.
 The total registered vote of the state is 194.472, of which 1s1, ,492 are white and 29SO colored.
 It is estimated that about 40 per rent are exempt from the payment of pod tax, being over 45 years of age, a member of

 Granting that there are 75,OOO of the registered voters exempt, this would leave about 120.0oO liable for the tax in order to gain the right of the franchise. The figures from the auditors report show that only about 67OOO of this number have paid the tax leaving upwards of 52,OOO registered voters who voluntarily disfran- chised themselves. However, the consti- tuition offers relief. as any registered voter can vote in the elections next year by paying up his deliqueneies by February l, 1904.
