Cure for Small POx.

This loathsome disease is now
raging in nearly all parts of the
country. The health authorities
seem to have come to regard it as
a disease similar to measles and
have ceased to quarantine against
it. In many instances the patient
receives no attention from a ply
s%iciaD, but is left to the care of his
family. We r not prepared to
say that this is prudential and
proper. We certainly see that the
disease is wide spread and the
germs must Turk in every locality
in which a case has originated. 1t
is a very loathsome disease and
every effort should be made to ex-
tlrpate it. The following remedy
is being printed in many papers
and we copy it with the remark
that we give 1t for what it is worth.
The worst case can be cured in
three days by the use Of cream of
tarter. One ounce cream of tartar
dissolved in apint of water, drank
at intervals when cold. is a GER
tain never failing remedy. 1t has
cured thousands; eve causes
blindness and avoids tedious linger-
ing.

LOnginO'S Judges.

1t will be remembered that just
before the Senatorial primary
election Longino appointed several
Circuit Judges aud one Supreme
Court Judge to fill vacancies. The
gu stion was raised as to the legal
ty Of these appointments. There
was no question about the modest
taste of Longino in making them.
These appointments were all con-
frmed by the Senate before Gov.
Vardaman las lnaugurated. Re
Gently Gov. Vardaman sought the
ADVICE of Attorney General Will
liams who has replied in a lengthy
opinion that the judges thus APP
pointed are entitled to hold their
places for a full term from the
date Of appointment. We presume
that this will settle the matter.
This condition of things furnishes
another strong argument in favor
of the election of all judges by the
people. These high official posi-
tions should not be chattels in
dlsrfputable political bartering.

Tennessee Senator.

The Senatorial race is waxing
warm up in Tennessee. Gov.
Mcmillan is trying to snatch the
laurels away from the grand old
Confederate, Gen. Bate, who has
worn them so long and so becom-
ingly. Tennessee should see to it
that the old hero who has so honor
ed the state by long Service of de-
votion and fidelity in war and in
the forum should be returned to
his seat by the voice of the peo-
pie in tones loud enough to re.
sound from the Smoky mountains
on the east to the Mississippi
river on the west The PROPOSE
ton to discredit and defeat any
old Confederate who added lustre
to the states escntcheon by hard
fighting and who has since proven
himself a faithful and capable rep
resentative in the national congress
ought to be spurned by all demo
Gratis. The ambition that prompts
men to uncrOwn the old heroes
should meet with righteous squelch
ing and III this case we hope it
may not win. Don't discharge
the old war horse in disgrace!

Must Walk Straight.

Events are Occurring daily over
in China, Korea aud Japan that
demand the notice of United
States officials. Some Of these
which are seemingly Of small i'm
portance may involve serious con
sequences. There are some gold
mines somewhere IN Korea that
belong to American citizens. The
United States minister, at Seoul,
Mr.. Allen, has sent a force of
sixty marines TO guard them. 1t
is thought that Russian troops are
already in possession Of the coun-
try in which the mines are located.
If this be trne a clash between our
marines and the Russians may oc-
cnr, in which event serious ques-
tons may arise between the Unit
ed States and Russia. A very lit
tie thing during q war between ma
tions may lead an outside nation
into trouble with one or both of
the beligerents. International
comfy and intercourse demands
strait walking within narrow lines
to keep all the nations Of the earth
from beiHg continually at war.

The Referee in Trouble.

The committee was recently APP
pointed by the legislature to inves-
tigate the affairs of the Insane
Asylum at Jackson. IN the course
of their examination it was dis
closed that the trustees of that
institution had, against the pro-
test of Dr. Mitchell, Superintend-
ent, been engaged in a shady trans
action of which brother-ln- law and
referee Edgar Wilson was the
beneficiary, 1t seems that the
trustees had bought, on account of
the Asylum, a large tract of LAND
adjoining the farm already owned.
After the deal had been completed
they let Wilson have the part OF
it on which the buildings were
located at nine dollars per acre
when, as witnesses testified, il
could have been sold at. twenty
dollars. DR.. Mitchell, protested
against the transaction, saying
that the institution already owned
as much land as it needed and had
no use for the farm purchased.
Wilson got the better part Of the
land. 1t is believed that the whole
job was put up between Wilson
and the trustees and that LONGING
was privy to it. The committed
reported the affair to the legisla-
ture which instructed them to in
vestigate it thoroughly and to
refer it to the grand jury OF
Kinds county for it's action. There
is a proposition pending in the
legislature directing Writ Adams,
Revenue Agent, to investigate the
recent management of the pene-
tertiary and state farms. When
he gets into this dirty work the
further he goes the more corrup-
ton will he find.

Fruit Not Injured.

Serious fears were entertained as
to what might become Of the fruit
this season during the recent cold
weather. Ice nearly half an inch
thick formed Thursday night, 3rd.
inst and it did not all melt away
before noon the next day. We are
glad to state that the damage done
to the fruit was not serious. The
peach and pear trees wsre- not full
ly in bloom and it is not believed
that any considerable part Of the
forming fruit was injured. W.
have always heard that fruit is
never killed in March and we have
never known it to be. The recent
spell was surely cold enough to
kill it, but It was dry and partial
ly cloudy with a stiff wind blow
ing from the north. This saved it.
MIR. j. @. Robins has eighty acres
planted in fruit trees two miles
north of, the city. This is under the
supervision Of DR.. Hill, who haul
ed quantities of wood and kept up
fires around the place during
Thursday night. W Q + glad this
orchard escaped injury and hope
it may mature a large crop,of lus-
cious fruit.
