Mrs. John w. Ross OF Memphis, both
daughters of Judge Clayton, and
the second by A. G. Paxton of Hol-

for many years a member of the

OF the original Board of Trustees cf
the State University, having been
appointed in 1914. He held this po-
sltion for almost half century, at
tentding the meetings regularly up
to his death in 1899. Gov. McNutt's
name is inseparably connected with
the attitude Of the State toward the
Union Bank bonds. He was elected
governor on that issue, and in his
message to the legislature be urge d
that they did not constitute a bind
ing obligation. inasmuch as they
were issued in plain violation of the
State Constitution with knowledge
of which the buyers were legally
affected. He gave other grounds for
their reputation, and his views
finally prevailed. He was one of the
ablest Executives the State had. He
died while making a canvass for the

CONSUMPTION

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con

pork, : was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 1oo
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consulnptive needs
most.
SCOTS Emulsionisthemod-
ern method Of feeding fat To-
the consunptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
Of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

WILL OPPOSE PANAMA TREATY.
Democrats Will Support the SpOOner
Canal Act.

Washington, November 12.-Demo-
cratic Senators have determined to OPP
pose the ratification of a canal treaty
with the new Republic of Panama
should the administration enter upon
treaty negotiations with that country.
The Democratic Steering committee is
said to be unanimous in condemnation
OF the recognition the United States has
given to the creation of a new govern
ment on the isthmus, though the an
nouncement has been made that no
course of opposition has been definitely
adopted.
1t has been earned upon the authori-
ty Of a member Of the Democratic
Steering committee that the sentiment
of the committee is to attack n effort
to open negotiations with the new re-
public, and go before the country in
support OF the Spooner Act, to show the
party is not ~antagOnistic to the building
of a canal. 1t is claimed that the law
is on the side of the Democratic pro-
gramme, inasmuch as the SpOOner act
is a Republican measure. This act au-
thorizes the President to proceed to the
construction of a canal On the Nicara-
qua and Costa Rican route in the event
negotiations with Colombia are not con-
Guided within a reasonable lime for the
Panama route.

and Amador. the commissioners who
sailed two days ago for Washington
were charged with other missions.
NJ. Buneau-Varilla is disposed to
put forth every effort to hasten the
treaty negotiations. There IS some
probability that the new treaty will
be ready for transmission to the Sen
ate before Christmas. The new Pam
anna constitution is not expected to
include the provision in the Colon
bian constitution preventing the allie
nation of territory, so that the state
department hopes to disarm criticism
on the score that it is not able to OBJ
tain an absolute title, IN fee simple,
to the canal tract. 1t is expected also
that this tract will be nearly double
that proposed in the Hay-Herran
treaty this p~recaution in the interest
of the maintenance of order along
the canal.
The navy department today re-
reived the following ~ablegram from
Rear Admiral Glass, commanding
the naval forces on the isthmus:
Panama. Everything is quiet at
Panama. No sign of any dissatfsfac-
ton. 1t is reported that there are
few Colombian troops at Buena Ven
tura with troops aboard, but put
back to port again. British steamers
Manavi and Quito were unmolested."
