The New York Diocese of the Epis-
copal church met September q. J.
Pierpont Morgan was lay member Of
that body. During Mr.. Morgan's abb
sence from the meeting, Rev. John
Marshall Chew, of the Church, of the
Good Shepherd, offered resolution
which newspaper dispatches say
touched upon the perversion of trust
funds, and openly criticised those per-
sons accused as represented in the IN
surance investigation" Referring to
this incident the New York cores
pondent for the Baltimore Sun says:
Bishop Potter, who was presiding,
frowned all through the reading OF
the resolution, and at the close sug-
gested to Rev. DR.. Chew that he take
some paternal advice from him and
not press his resolution until after
the case had been fully tried by the
authorities who were sitting in Judg-
ment on life insurance companies.
The introduction of the resolution
caused sensation, and the deputies
listened in silence to the caustlc and
sarcastic arraignment by DR.. Chew OF
the business men who dabble in high
finance and yet are re Jpected by the
church, although they seemingly prac'
tice deception and infdelity. The res
olution among other things said: The
tampering with trust funds by men IL
high positions of privilege and conn
dence in the business world constl
tutes most discouraging evidence o
moral laxity and bad example among
those from whom the church ant
nation have a right to expect bette
things. No talent for high finance
no useful service to the community
no benefaction to the church or to oh
jects of philanthropy, can excuse o
atone for dereliction in trust, cor
tempt for the rights of others, or dis
regard of the rules of common hor
esty".--Bryan's Commoner.

John Temple Graves, editor of the
Atlanta News and one of the bright
est literary lights iu the South, has
announced himself candidate for the
United States Senate from Georgia.
to succeed 4. 0. Bacon Aberdeen
Weekly.) Announcing is easy, but
planting John Temple Graves in a seat
in the United States Senate is quite
another thing. Besides, it isn't the
brightest men that the various
States are sending these days.
They seem to have become indiffer-

of their former senatorial luminaries,

Rev. w. E. Ellis Dead.

The Baptist ministry of the state
and a large circle of friends lament
the death of a faithful coworker and
true friend. Mr.. Ellis was a Holmes
County man and was an honor to his
state, and the ministry for which he
had so thoroughly equipped himself.
His last pastorate was at Crystal
Springs, which he resigned a year
ago, to go to the west in quest of
health. The search was vain, and he
returned to Durant to await the end,
which came Tuesday at the home of
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ernest.
His sister, Mrs. Robert Downer,
preceded him just on Monday to her
reward.
Two true and beautiful lives have
gone from earth but they have only
begun to live.
May heavens grace be given in
abundant measure to a stricken hus-
band and wife.

Good judges of liquor agree that
white house whiskey during the Roose-
Welt residence has been of uniformly
good quality. Tradition has it that
James Buchanan kept the best LIQUOR
ever seen in the executive mansion
1t is said that he had in his cellar At
WheatIand enormous quantities of
the best rye whiskey in the world
when he died. 1t is said and the
story used to be told with the preci-
sion and circumstantiality, that gave
1t the impress of truth, that whisky
that is good whisky and such whjskey
az he drank had no other intoxicapt
effect on James Buchanan than a
gentle exhilaration and that he could
drink gallon of it each day without
perceptible effect on his physique or
the slightest disorder of his mind -
Kansas City Journal A few of our
old inhabitants still remember a eiti-
zen who lived here in ante-belIum
days, who drank a gallon of Dexter
day after day while working at the
bench, never losing an hour from
work, nor seen reehng from its eff.
fects.

press Co. in all its Offices in this state

ton will come up as to whether or
not they had succeeded in successful
fully evading the law. If they did
not DO that, they will have to pay a

place, in which they sold any liquor

of their sales were illegal in every
place where any liquor at all was

The proposed new code makes al
most a complete change in the peni-
tentiary system, removing it from the
Board of Control and putting the
authority and responsibility in the
hands Of one man, who would hold his
election and authority direct from the
people. Inasmuch as the present
board is also elected by the people this
is a doubtful Improvement, though it
concentrates responsibility. Probably
all of the convicts will be removed to
the Sunhower farm, which would
greatly simplify the convict problem
and lessen its expense.

The principles embodied in the pri-
mary election law drawn by Senator
f. F. Noel and adopted by the Iegis-
lature of 1902 are sound and ap-
proved by a majority of the people Of
Mississippi. Part of the features in
the original bill were opposed by
some and were only consented to to
avoid the defeat of the whole bill by
those who We're hostile to it, and
seeking a pretext to Justify them
selves for defeating it. A number Of
these objections were removed by the
last legislature, but a few of them
still remain. The law was not per
fected, and was not claimed to be.

Silver City organized a civic league

Now that the new code, or pro-
posed code, has been placed in
the hands of the legislators, the
matter will be discussed in the press
of the state. Changes and proposed

laws are backed by public sentiment,
they will no the sustained. Pub

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
ARE AlLING.
The Urgent Need Of Prompt Restora-
tive Measures is Something
That Every One Should
Understand.
"a Stitch In Time Saves Nine"

Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri-
nary organs are more serious than most
people think. The first warning symp-
toms should receive prompt medical
treatment to ward off Bright's Disease
or some other dangerous malady. When
the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms
become sufficiently pronounced to be
nct' ,ea%l. the condition calls at once
for prompt measures to stay the progress
of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is
the remedy needed. Taken on the ap-
pearance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the back, puffiness under the
eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive
disorders, it will save the victim meal
culable misery and suffering, mental
torture and expense. Used at the begin
ming of the trouble it cures quickly.
Used in the more advanced stages it will
win back health and strength as rapidly
as circumstances will possibly permit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure in red on the front label.
