LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

all arrearages are paid.
,. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the postoffce to
which they are addressed, they are re-
spousible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper Tor other
periodically discontinued,
3 If subscribers move to other
p aces without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
postofhce, or removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima facic evi.
dence of intentional fraud.
>. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
6 The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
n for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to

then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sem notifying the

liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,

The Democratic Safe Conven-
ton, which met in jackson last
week, decided to send a delega-
ton TO the National Convention
instructed for Judge Parker, to
work for his nomination as long
as there is any hope OF his get
ting it, and permitted to absolve
itself from instructions by a TWO
thirds vote OF the entire delega-
ton.
The convention worked in per-
feet harmony. Hon. Fuller Fox
was elected permanent chairman,
and ringing speeches were made
by Hon. John Sharp Williams,
Senators Money aud McLaurin
and Gov. James K. Vardaman.
These four were elected as dele.
gates at-large from the State to
the National Convention.
The platform was prepared
and read by Mr.. Williams, and
as he is likely to have a great
deal to do with the preparation
of the National platform, it was
exceptionally important. 1t is "a
clear, concise enuncia tlon OF
Democratic principles, and would
make a good National platform
in itself.

TRruMFms,oF MODERN SURGERY.
Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery.
Organs are taken out and scraped
and polished and put back, or
they may be removed entirely /:
bones are spliced; pipes take the
place OF diseased sections OF veins:
antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before Inflammation
sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in
oue-third the time required by
the old treatment. Chamber
lain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antisep-
tic and when applied to such in
juries cause them to heal very
quickly. 1t also aTlays the pain
