the early part Of the year 1902 had
been q sufferer from kidney troubles
for many years. The pain in my back
became worse and worse until it was
daily burden that interfered with every
duty. was much afflicted with head
aches and dizzy spells and was unable
to rest well nights. In May 1909 after
using Doan's Kidney Pills made q
statement for publication declaring
that they had entirely relieved me OF
the pain in my back. Ihave since then
had years time in which to study tho
effects of the medicine, and while I
have had slight touches of the trouble
since, the use of the pills has always
driven away all signs Of the disorder
and have become convinced of the
fact that the first treatment was prac-
tically permanent in its effects, and
know that q box of Doan's Kidney Pills
kept on hand is sufficient guarantee
against any suffering from the kidneys
or back. I should advise every sufferer
to take Doan's Kidney Pills, and 1know
that they will be surprised and pleased
with the result"
A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney
medicine which cured Mrs. Brodcrick
will be mailed on application to any

Some Useful Churning Hints.
Should you use the old-fashioned
dasher churn you are annoyed by the
cream, milk and butter splashing out
at the top, where the dasher handle
goes through. This may be avoided
by melting the bottom off of small
fruit or baking powder can and plac-
ing it over the handle of the dasher.

catches all the splash" and conducts
it back into the churn. II you only

to run the road through Meridian

road, with right of way through
the city and twenty five acres of
land for shop purposes, the city
will ser ure the road and shops.

fact that the last Congress, during
the widesprs ad suffering caused
! by the anthracite coal strike, was
compelled to obey the demand of
tho people that the tariff should
be removed from foreign anthrac'
lite coal. The falsity of the
claim that there is no community
OF interest between the tariff and
the trusts is seen in the fact that
whilhe the people of the United
States have been held at the
mercy Of the Meat Trust, there
has been all the time a tariff OF 4
cents a pound on meats from
Canada, and another on cattle
from Mexico. This tariff has en-.
abled the Meat Trust to hold the
Americian by the throat and
|exhort from them four cents a
pound for the meat that goes on
their dinner tables. These are
only a few examples Of how a
nigh tariff puts money into the
pockets Of many of the trusts,
but it SO happens that the tariff
on sugar is detrimental to the
powerful Sugar Trust, and for
its benefit the ta1iff on sugar i'm
ported from Cuba is to be redu
lced if the President can accom-
plih it, bat while heis trying to
put millions into the pocket of
the Sugar Trust, one the oldest
and most powerful Of tha Sc com
.binations, he is entirely indiffer-
ent to the fact that the beet sug.
arindustry in the Northern States
and the cane sugar industry OF
tho Snouthern States, neither
a trust, are to be ruined by the
Presidents scheme. AS to the
Presidents alleged attacks on the
trusts themselves, they have
oeeu, more than anything else
grand stand-plays which have
accomplished nothing in the way
ofaba.lng the trust evil, although
they have made capital with the
people and displeased the trust
managers them selves But the
Republican Party Us committed to
the tariff as device for enrich~
ing the rich, and it is the parent
OF the trusts, and that is all there
lis of it. New Orleans Picayune.

Roosevelt on Tariff and the Trusts

President Roosevelt, who is
travelling on an extensive elec
t'oneering tour in the Western
States, said, on Saturday, il a
speech at st. Paul, Mimi that
there was no connection or rela-
ton between the tariff and the
trusts, The President in the
same breath told how hard he
had worked to get the tariff on
sugar from Cuoa reduced, but he
did not mention that it was a
move that-would pu' millions of
dollars in the pcckets o. the Sug.
ar trust. Such an admission
would have mada his speech rid-
iculous But the fact is known
throughout the West. which is
the seat Of the great aud grow.
ing beet sugar in lustry, that the
reduction Of the. tariff which tho
President SO ardently desires
will strike a heavy blow at the
beet sugar interest as we'll as at
those Of cane sugar in the South.
1t is absolutely false that the
trusts have no connection with
the tariff and do not profit by il
in any way. The falsity of such
a position is demonstrated by the

Judge Truly on Nhitecaps

.-
In his charge to the grand
jury of Amite county last week,
Judge JEFF Truly discussed the
Whitecapping evil from the
standpoint Of the farmers them-
selves. He pointed out that the
disturbance Of labor and labor
conditions was suicidal to the
Farmers and was, besides, an un-
manly exhibition OF prejudice
and bitterness. Judge Truly
referredto the absuridity of the
puerile plea that there is any
danger Of the negroes ever bs
coming able to dominate ordictate
State affairs, or that he would
ever compete with tho waite
man as land owner. The white
man, he said, controlled every
single branch Of government; he
made and admin stored the laws
every single offieer in the legis-
lative executive, aud judicial de
partments are white mon, and
the control Of the white man, he
said extends even to the ballot
box itself, whore the negro is not
only excluded from voting as
mass, but must vote for a white
maa if he does vote. Ih3 judge
then paid his respects to the arr
gument of danger Of social equal
ity, which he said was an insult
to the women Of the State. He
said the negro does not seek soc.
ial equality. Il have never
continued the Judge, : heard of
a case where a negro tried to
force himself on a white church
or association, but I have tried
and sentenced white men who
have been ruined socially by at
tending negro association. !
have never heard OF a negro ent'
ering white gambling house to
participate in the game, but
have had to punish white men
who were convicted Of gambling
in negro gambling dens.
