A Secret Disease

Of all human diseases, that known as
contagious blood poison, or the Bad
Disease, has caused more misery and suf-
fering and ruined more lives than all
others combined. It not only wrecks the
hopes and aspirations of the one who
contracts it, but often the innocent are
made to share the humiliation and dis
grace OF this most 1oathsotne and hateful
form of blood poison. Children inherit
it from parents, and thousands of the

taminated and ruined simply through

Jackson, July Judge A. Critz,
candidate for governor, has written
letter to his personal friend, Mr.. K.
G. Mccoy, of Port Gibson, concerning
the charge made agalns him that he
is using money in large quantities III
furtherance of his campaign. The
letter is couched in strong language
and is an absolute denial of the charge.
A portion of the epistle is as follows:
In answer to your first letter as to
the charges which other candidates
are making against me, to the effect
that am using money in an illegltl-
mate manner, 1 will say that it is an
infamous and malicious falsehood. L
have never heard of the man Andrews
referred to in your letter. and my

have never heard of such a man. 1t
is fabrication, pure and simple, ut

of injuring me-

was recent inmate of the insane

There was a circus in town today
which brought additional crowds OF

The police were at work preventing
crowds from gathering. There were
dozens of personal encounters but no
duels with weapons. In the shooting
of last night it was reported today
that Henry Arms, a young white
man, was shot in the thigh.
The grand jury met today and in
dicted Lee Brown, the negro who
killed Patrolman Massey, of murder

Jackson, July 7.-The fact that
diversified and scientific farming
means the industrial salvation of
Mississippi is being realized by the
AGRICULTURAL masses, and is illus
trated in the phenomenal demand be-
ing made this year for farmers insti-
tu5es in the various counties. So

quested, although diligent effort
will be made to do so, and the course
of instructions this year is more COM
plete than ever before.
The suggestion is meeting with
favorable endorsement that the next
legislature should make an appropra-
tion for farmer s institutes sufficiently
large to justify the employment of ex-
pert agricultural instructors from
other states to assist in the work.
AS the farmers see but little of the
results of legislative appropriation,
it is quite likely that this matter,
which would bring them material
| benefit, will meet with Legislative
| approval.

Hanford further held that Sullivan
made no will whatever, thus deciding
directly against Marie Carrau and her

Marie Carrau appealed the case.
In the decision handed down, written
by Judge Ross, it is held that the
laws of the state of Washington con-
fer original jurisdiction on the supe-

bate of wills, and that the circuit
court should therefore never have
tried the case at all. The opinion

CNIINTY EiIR Law
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
In the Opinion Of Many Citizens of
Whatcom County Who VIII
Make Test.

WhatcOm-There is opposition in
this county to the law passed by the
last Legislature, empowering county
commissioners to make a levy in aid
of county fair organizations. This OPP
position has taken definite form, and
Attorneys Fairchil1 and Bruce have
been retained to institute mandamus
proceedings to prevent the commits
sioners of WhatcOm county from MAX
ing such a levy. The action is based
on the wording Of section Z, article
VIII. of the constitution Of the state
of Washington, which reads as fol-
lows:
mo county, city. town or other
municipal corporation shall hereafter
give any money or property, or loan
it's credit to or in aid of any individ-
ual, association or corporation except
for the necessary support of the poor
or inf1rm, or become directly or in
directly the owner Of any stock in or
bonds of any association, company or
corporation
On the strength Of this provision of
the constitution the validity of the
statute will be attacked.
