Aberdeen, Miss, April 25, 1903
''To My Fellow Citizens OF the
State of Mississippi:
"Nluch as | regret it, | am com.
PEELED by the strongest personal
reason, arising from circumstances
which l conld not foresee and
over which | have no control, to
retire unconditionally from the
race for Office of governor. Under
present conditions it is impossible
for me to continue actively in the
canvass and unless I could do so
it would be an injustice to both
my friends and myself to remain
longer in the contest. The chief
concern / feel in taking this step
is for the friends who have sup
ported me so loyalty. l owe them
a debt of gratitude which I can
never repay, but which | will
recognize and remember. The
campaign of misrepresentation
calumny and falsehood, backed
by the corrupt use of money, that
has been waged against me with
so much bitterness, has only made
them The more Jealous in my sup
port. Representing as they do
the best thought, aspirations and
patriotism cf the Democracy of
Missississippi and of our Chris
tian civilization, uninfuenced as
they were by factional politics,
personal preferment or petty am
bition, | prize their confidence
more highly than the office of
governor, and as long as | retain
it and have the consciousness that
my candidacy has stood for truth
and the best interests of the State,
| can well afford to despise the
enemies | have made. If, in the
CANVASS, | have in any way con
trlbuted to a proper solution OF
public questions, which are of
such vital Importance at this time,
| will be more than gratifie1 |
have the greatest confidence that
the good judgment and patriotism
of the party will secure a result
worthy Of this great common
wealth."

LOOK OUT
FOR MALARIA.

An epidemic of Malaria is sure to fol-
low the wet season and the high waters
which have prevailed all over the
South. Malarial and kindred fevers
will develope to an alarming extent.
General health conditions will be bad;
every precaution should be taken.
The System Must Especially Be For.
tidsd to Resist uslsrIsI Attacks.
A trial of fifty years has demonstrate
ed that for this emergency, DR.. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron is
the fighting element in the blood, and
the kind Of iron supplied by DR.. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic is just the kind the
system requires to successfully combat
malarial conditions. Don't wait until
you are attacked. Take it now and for
tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard
and, at the same time, it is the best
tonic and invigorant for the entire sys-
tenn. On the other hand, quinine dis
turbs the system and its cumulative
poison begets greater physical troubles
than those it is employed to remedy.
