Crazed BY his hatred for the South and

was not satisfied with the publicity
gained IN forcing his wife and children
TO sit down 70 dinner with Booker 7.
Washington, but at his last public re-
ception he invited the attendance Of a
number Of Washington negroes, who
appeared among the earlist arrivals,
bringing several women unknown, tog-
ged odt in full evening dress, with the
upper portions Of their fat bodies shin
ing like ebony almost to their waists,
for the hundreds of distinguished men
and women of the national capital to
gaze upon and rub against in the crush.
The colored guests we're among the first
to greet the President and he grasped
their hands most cordially. The sight
was so disgusting, so reYolting, so bru-
tai to all the finer feelings of the surg
ing throng that many white people re-
tired from the white house soon after
arriving, not lingering to greet the
President at all. Among those who re-
tired were all the representatives from
the Southern states. OF course very
little is being said by the ~pie-eaters in
most Of the Northern states, yet down
deep in many a loyal American heart,
in all sections of the country, this con-
duct by the occupant of the white
house is a moulding ranker and cor

O'Clock last Saturday afternoon Henry
M. Teller was elected by a unanimous
Democratic vote as his own successor
10 the United States senate. The total
number of votes polled was 81, being a
bare majority of the two houses, each
one Of which was cast on roll call for
Mr.. Teller. The republican members
of both branches declined to partici-
pate in the bslloting, in fact absented
themselves from the hall, hoping there
by to prevent q quorum, butthe arrival
off representative who had been sick
all week, made the majority presently
and the long fought battle ended in q
few minutes. The question of the
legality Of the election will prabably be
raised by the Republicans when Mr..
Teller applies for his seat at Washing
ton.

This paper Ia not disposed 70 coax
candidates who want 10 run for once
TO announce. They know whether
they want their names in The paper or
not, and II they do win not hesitate TO
say 30. But, seriously, We would
suggest 10 one and ell that there IL
really no other way to reach ell the
people within two or three days than
through the columns Of q live, bright
newspaper that the people pay for
read and rely upon for much Of their
general information. The candidate
who attempts to run for an ONCE now
without legitimately using such q
newspaper is simply carrying himself
out by his boot straps to meet sure
defeat. The new election law In
Mississippi makes the Newspaper an
indispensable adjunct with any candi-
date. In the old order Of things when
a few politicians running the machine,
could meet at the county seat, organ
ize q little old convention and nomi-
nate the candidates, the matte
was closed. That order Of things is
no more. Under the law the people
make their own nominations in q
Primary election, held under the same
strict rules ss a general election. The
politicians smooth work don't count
now; it Is the man who reaches the
hearts Of enough voters to inspire
them to go to the polling place and
vote for him direct, that lie nominated.
In a single issue Of this newspaper q
candidate can lay before the voters he
wants to interest In his behalf his
appeal for their support at less ex-
pensa than he can travel over the
country and find and talk to in two
whole years. And the voter Is never
partial to a gum shoe campaigner.
He admires and respects a man who
says publicly, 81 am a candidate, 1
want the office, and I want your votes
to get it," 1t may also be suggested
that politics is a cold blooded bust
ness proposition. Your neighbors are
not going to coax or beg you to be-
come a candidate. Fact is they are
not caring, generally speaking wheth-
or you do or don't. A manly position
and a hustling campaign may land
you in office, but no one will slip in
to any office this year unnoticed, nor
will any mans neighbors take him by
the collar and the gable of his panta-
looms and Utterly throw him into one.

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed hourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. IF it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and win be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

These results show remarkably
pure and wholesome ice, both In the
supply OF 1899 and that of the present
year. The low chlorine and albumi-
mold ammonia and the absence OF nj
trites and nitrates show from the chem
ical stanpoint the freedom OF this Ice
from sewage. and that it contains but
a small amount Of other organic mat
ter. These conclusions are also sus-
tanned by the archaeological data which
further show that the river water at
the time the ice was formed was free
from even a trace Of sewage matter.
The small number of bacteria, the
few species, and the absence of lique-
tying germs in the present supply, all
1T is particularly interesting to note
the absence of the colon BACILLUS, for
this shows the absence Of sewage
from the water that produced 1t. In
the intestinal canal of all human be-
ings and most other animals this or
ganism thrives in large numbers, and
it can always be found in waters that
give rise to typhoid fever and other
filth diseases. Its presence in water
can generally be traced to sewage pol
tuition, and 1t affords most satlsfac-
tory means Of detecting a polluted
water supply. On the other hand. its
absence. is positive proof that no ty-
phoid or other dangerous germs are
present, for the agencies that eliminate
it from the water, il it were ever pres
ent, also eliminate the specific germs
Of disease. Your ice being free from
the colon bacillus shows that it is also
free from harmful matter.
Professor Weems in his report of
March 21st. 1903, says:
THE analysis shows that the water
producing the sample of ice. contained
practically no organic matter, and there
is no indication whatever of contami-
nation by sewage or similar impurities.
On the whole, the results indicate that
the water from which this sample of
ice was produced, can be considered
as belonging to that class of waters
which are organically pure
/ have no hesirancy, therefore, In
saying that your present ice supply
can be used with perfect safety for
all domestic purposes
Very truly yours,
