AL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
Boss and general ill-health. Why? Be
Jause a disordered stomach does not per-
nit the food to be properly digested, and
itS products assimilated by the system.
On the other hand the blood is charged
with poisons which come from this dis
ordered digestion, and In turn the nerves
are not fed on good, red blood, and we see
symptoms of nervousness, sleeplessneSs
and general breakdown. 1t is not head
eOrk that does 1t, but poor stomach work.
With poor, thin blood the body Is not

a man has insufficient food he loses
strength. If he has no food he dies.
Food Is converted into nutrition through

the strength of the stomach to what
extent food eaten is digested and assimil-

have abundant food to eat, when the
stomach and its associate organs of d.

their duty. Thus the stomach is really

In writing to his home paper,
The Bowie County News" New

tor, under date of Oct. 10th Wait
e. Peters, manager at Jefferson
Cotton Oil Refining Co.'S Gin say
the following about il fferson which
we give:
"I presume business is dull over at
New Boston. 1t is awfully dull here
compared with former years. Cotton
and corn crops are cut short, but, not
withstanding, Jefferson has been look
ing up IN the Improvement line this
year. About eight new bricks have gone
up. the light plant which burned last
spring is being rebuilt and the water
works system is completed, being as
perfect and up-to-date as any system
in the state.
The current report that Jefferson is a
back number is mistake, as have
found the people as enterprising here
as anywhere. l believe better day is
in sight for Jefferson. From what
have seen and heard from old settlers !
am sure it was once one of the leading
business points of the state. The out
look at present is bright for navigation
as Congressman Sheppard has been
looking into the situation and is taking
much interest in the matter, Everybody
believes the next congress will make ar
appropriation for this purpose, and if sc
Jefferson will move right up to the from
again. Then you people can come
down and make trip direct to New
Orleans from Jefferson by water.
The foregoing are few facts l have

Departed this life Oct 18th 'O5
Henry chatham. a worthy colored
man was laid to rest in old Pleas
ant Grove cemetery in the forest
near the once famous city of Hard
scrabble. We have known Henry
every since the fall of Vicksburg,
and have ever found him true as
the needle to the pole, AS a slave
he was the property of William
Morris, deceased. and ever devoted
to his master and mistress and
their offspring. Henry had filled
up the scriptural measure of his
days, three score and ten years
and leaves behind him a record
worthy of limitation, and one
sister to mour his departure. De
ceased was a house carpenter and
farmer combined, and like old
uncle Ned, who laid down his fd-
die and bow, Henry turned loose
his pillow and hoe, and doubtless
has gone where all the good mig
gers go,
And while l pen these lines am
wont to say of him, he is basking
in yon sun.bright cline, where
persimmons are always ripe and
'possums were never to get poor or

piper's son, amt you glad your
life works is done. Peace to your

House of Representatives at the last ses-

Townsend, having been modified so as to
define what the Interstate Commerce Com

pared by the Ohio Senator during the past

before the Committee on Interstate Com

1t is admitted that the Interstate Com
merce Committee of the Senate at its meet

and efforts are being made bv strong influ-

MERIT PRINCIPLE TO GOVERN.
Presidential Postmasters to BE Kept in
ONCE as Long as They Prove Efficient.

WASHINGTON, Dec. e.-The determine
tlon Of the Administration to enforce
rule permitting Presidential postmasters
to continue in Office beyond the four year
term, in the event that they have proven
efficient has been received by Republican
Senators and Representatives with varying
degrees OF emotion. 1t was brought out EN-
phatically to-day that Postmaster General
Cortelyou has decided to apply what means,
in effect, civil service reform in the appoint
ment OF postmasters, and that where the
term Of such an official has expired he will
be continued in the service if his record is
reported to be good or EXCELLENT"
IF the term Of the postmaster at New
York expired to-day he would be reap
pointed, regardless Of organization or
machine, il he had shown himself to be in
every way efficient was the statement
made to-day by department official who
speaks with authority
It is known that President Roosevelt is in
hearty accord with Mr.. Cortelyou's new
policy, which s regarded in some quarters
as revolutionary and as likely to create a
serious breach between the Administrati ion
and majority Of the Republican members
in the House.
Postmaster General Cortelyou was mac
ceSSlDle tO-udy IL DtulB thpldlIcu at lIlt
Department that he was busy preparing
his annual report. First Assistant Post
master General Hitchcock acted in Mr..
Cortelyous place. Mr., Hitchcock's office
looked like campaign headquarters.
Members began focking In early in the day,
and as they waited for their turn the new
rule was discussed with considerable heat
in some instances and in others in a spirit
Of levity.
Most Of the members who talked with
Mr. Hitchcock to-day protested vehemently
against the application of the merit prin
ciple to postmasters, declaring that it
would be productive of great mischief
and that its effect would be to rob the repre-
sentative Of the last vestige of patronage
that remained at his disposal There
were some exceptions, however One mem
Der from the Middle West, who had waited
patiently to see Mr.. Hitchcock for an hour,
walked into the office with happy smile
lighting up his countenance.
"Is It true" he said, that you won't
make change in Presidential post office
where the incumbent has given good SER
vice?"
Mr.. Hitchcock looked stern, and getting
ready for another verbal tussle replied;
1T is, sir"
Bully" shouted the member. THAT
saves my life, They've got a scrap on at
home that simply meant political death for
me If l was compelled to make choice.
This let's me out"
Department officials believe that while
Mr. Cortelyous policy will be condemned
at first, ultimately it will be accepted ard
met with favor by the politicians as well
as the people.
