INDIANOLA POsToFFICE CASE.


WASHINGTON. Jan. Ex-senator Nc
Laurin. OF Mississippi. conferred with
Postmaster General Payne regarding the
Indianola. Miss. postoffice and again urged
the reopening OF the office either with or
without Mrs. Minnie Cox. the present
postmistress. In charge OF the office SEN
ator McLaurin showed Mr.. Payne a tele-
gram he received to-day from p c. Chap
man. an attorney Of Indianola. stating that
the postmistress resigned voluntarily. that
she left the town voluntarily and that she
Will be protected IL she returns Senator
McIaurin said he was able to give as
surance that the postmistress would be en-
tireiy safe In returning and stated that
the present situation imposed great hard
ship on the people Of Indianola
The present attitude of the administra-
ton Is that the postoffice will be reopened
and Mrs Cox reinstated as postmistress AZ

and sheriff Will give assurance OF her safety
Postmaster General Payne Will recommend

sidefing the case. that the Office be re-
established and the present postmistress
brought back and again installed in charge.
Senator McLaurin was told that while as

taking the Appellate Court out of politics
and giving the appointing power to the
Governor with the term of office for life
or good behavior"
The senator also omits the section pro-
viding that the State shall be divided into
as many districts as there are judges ana
that such districts shall be formed OF con-
tiguous territory. There is no more rea-
son why there SHOULD be such a regulation
In regard 10 the State supreme Court, ne
says, than that there should be similar
provision in regard to the United States
Supreme Court"
OMITTED SECTIONS.
Section 4. regarding the jurisdiction Of
the Supreme Court, is omitted, as that Is
covered by statute and may be further reg
ulated by the Legislature. Sections and
6, providing for written opinions and the
publication of the decisions of the Supreme
Court, are left unchanged. Section Z, pro-
viding for the election of clerk OF the
Supreme Court. 1t omitted. with the view
that the Legislature may at some future
time deem il advisable to make this an
appointive Office. .
Section 8. setting forth that the Circuit
Courts shall each consist of one Judge, ana
shall have such civil and crimilal jurisdic-
ton as may be prescribed by law, is omit
ted. This is left out, the senator says, pc
cause the present Circuit Court system Is
unsatisfactory and there is growing senti-
ment in favor of the Ohio and New YORK
systems In New York each county has
Court OF Common Pleas and at least one
Judge, according TO the population ana
the amount of business. The counties are
then grouped into circuits composed OF SIX
counties. with three circuit judges, who
go from county to county to hold court.
BY this system an appeal may be had from
the Court of Common Pleas TO the circuit
Court on the original evidence and plead,
ings and the expense OF such an appeal
is comparatively insignificant The result
is that where the Circuit Court afnrms
the finding of the Court of Common Pleas
an appeal to the Supreme Court is not tax
en- in nine cases out of ten, and the work
of the upper court is thus materially re-
duced.
Section 9, providing for the election OF
the circuit judges, is changed TO PROVIDE
for their appointment by the Governor.
Section 10, providing that in cases of emer-
gency the judge Oh one circuit may noio
court for another, is omitted.
Section IL, prescribing that there shall
be elected in each judicial circuit a prose-
cutting attorney is another of those omit
ted, and Senator Dausman says that IL Is
left out because he believes that every
county should have a prosecuting attorney.
and he believes that in time the Leeisla-
ture will want to make that provision. Sec

Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old
feel young, and cures their ills. 1t has added
years of health and enjoyment to many life.
Use this great medicine regularly, and its invig-
Grating powers will fill your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George F. Morse, O. years old, writes;-
WELLS & RICHARDSON Co.,
Gentlemen Just a word in favor of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago l had a combination of
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con-
tnued for year or more; meantime lost in
weight about 90 pounds, trying different medi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using a little l began to improve,
gaining about a pound week. In year
had regained so pounds of the lost weight and
good health, and have been a well man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE f. MORSE.
