A Card from Judge Critz.
West Point. Miss,
August IL. 1908.

The report being circulated
that l had anything to do with
the kilograms sent out ON the
day OF the last primary, stating
that Senator Noel had with
drawn, or admitted defeat, is alb
solutely untrue; Senator Noel
attaches no blame to me, and in
no way holds me responsible
even in the remOtest degree tor
these kilograms. These reports,
like many other ia | s h 0 de
which are being circulated for
the purpose OF injuring me, have
no b asis in tact, and [ am
amazed that the partisans of any
candidate for high Office should
stoop to the methods which are
being resorted to in all effort to
defeat me. / denounce in un-
measured terms all of the vile
talsehoods which are being so
industriously circu lated, and
submit my claims and my chaf-
acter to a just, fair minded and
discriminating citizenry.
FRANK A. CRITz.

The Run-Of.

Might it not be just as we'll to
eliminate the negro question
from the coming primary con-
test between Messrs. Critz aud
Vardaman for Governor of Miss
isslppi? Nobody can fairly say
that the election of either OF
these gentlemen will be tri-
umph or defeat tor the negro.
In the last presidential election
the Republican party cast trifle
over 5000 votes, while in the
last congressional election it did
not cast any votes at all, and it
did not have any candidates in
the field. Under these condi-
tions the negro question can
hardly be regarded as very acute
IN Mississippi. Certainly h e
negro "knows his place" IN that
State, and Judge Critz is no
more disposed to change this
state of affairs than would be
Maj. Vardaman. The race is
now narrowed down between
these two gentlemen, and the
one receiving the majority of
the popular vote will be the next
governor. 1t seems to US that
the people should direct them
selves to the task of selecting
the man VIII" will make the best
governor for Mississippi, without
regard TO aremote and visionary
issue which is settled for all time
so far as that State is concerned.
This would seem to be all the
more proper, because this is
purely a State election having
no bearing whatever on national
affairs.---Commercial- Appeal.

Answer. This trouble is called knuck-

caused from disease Of the feet or over
work. Probably the colt had naturally
weak ankles, or was overwor1ed, Give
the mule rest and blister the ankle

sole application I do not think 1t would
