God the Natural Healer.

We think tho Bible is TO he credited
wherein II indicates that God is the natural
healer Of all our diseases and we know that
this God is Mind and matter.
How did Jcsus-ihc only perfect healer
whom history affords--bow did He henl the
sick! Medicine had been in use for twenty
centuries. Was il mind or mattort Chris
tianity would collapse in the admission that
il was not Mind.
IT is urged tnat all this is transcepdental

hope of Immortality, so is the belief in God
and heaven. The senses testify 10 tho OK

New York World,

reasonably accurate canvass of the senate
has shown that the pro-Smoot vote num-
hers about 80 and the anti-Smoot strength
forty. Many of the majority, while they
will vote for Smoot. do not care to go on
record for him. while many of the minor
ity do not relish voting against him when
certain that they are on the losing side.

classed as adverse to voting at all and

Smoot case must be wiped off the slate

Smoot himself expresses a willingness 20

this expression a bluff on his part.

outerowth of wahaIak Trouble.

The reported killing of four negroes
yesterday was a direct outgrowth of
the recent trouble at Wahalak, where
desperate fight occurred on a Mobile
& Ohio railroad train between two ne
groes and Conductor Cooper.
One of the negroes was killed outright
and the conductor received severe in
juries. Great excitement prevailed at
Wahalak when it was reported the ne
groes had threatened to exterminate
the white people and burn the town.
Governor Vardaman promptly sent the
state militia to the scene but, after re-
manning one day. Colonel McGantz, in
command, returned to Meridian, report
ing that danger of further trouble had
apparently passed.
Citizens of Scooba say today that no
clash with negroes is now feared here.
The negro population is quiet.
Advices from Wahalak this morning
state that excitement there has sub
sided. and business is now being car
ried on as usual.
