 ous subjects outlined by the Doctor, they in a large measure agreed. Then, turning to Dr. Cunningham, he said:
 "On education. when you started out the second time, you started with the proposition that you believed the fund should be divided between the white and blacks. giving each race the bepe. fit of what it paid in" TO this the Doctor interposed an emphatic denial The speaker then stated that the Doc tor" was so quoted in tine papers, but in the light of the denial he would not go further into it.
 Quite a spirited discussion arose when MT. Conner declared that his op- ponent had stated that If elected Gov ernor he would have that back tax commissioner enter suit to recover taxes from mills which were exempt. To this, the Doctor attempted to ex- plain that he would do so if the farm CTS had not been benefited by being able to dispose of cotton in a home market, but was interrupted by Mir. Conner. who with considerable display of heat, declared that the statute was a contract between the States and the mills and criticised the Doctor for in- timating that he would under any cir cumstances advocate the repudiation of such a contract.
 Replying to Dr. Cunningham as to the present power of the commission, he declared that he was Investigating information received by him that the present law was unconstitutional and the railroads were waiting to avail themselves of that condition. The speaker was paying his customary re- spects to the railroad attorneys when reminded that his time was up.
 With the coonsent of Dr. Gun ningham. he referred to cotton mill law. saying 1t was ar agreement between the mills and the agitators of the law which he thought was operative until pr. Gun ningham took the matter up and then demanded of the Doctor why. when in the Senate. he did not see that 1t was made operative. The speaker then asktd if more time could be allowed him. but withdrew the request saying i: would be unfair.
 At the conclusion of his reply Dr. Cunningham immediately arose and grasped MT. Corners hand, the action be- ing loudly cheered.

Ipsiduous Nature Of the Disease

Ulcer OF the stomach may exist for
years without very marked symptoms
excepting those caused by indigest-
ion.
In good health, the stomach re-
slsts the action of the gastric juices,
but when weakened, the membrane Is
badly nourished and the digestive
fluids act upon it As well as upon the
food, keeping up until perfoIation Of
the stomach occurs. In advanced
cases Of ulcer Of the stomach there is
much discomfort after eating, with
a constant gnawing sensation between
meals, pain from the pit Of the stom-
ache back to the shoulder blade.
at the first symptoms Of indigest'
ion, treatment should at once b.
started with Mi-o-na. This is a sci
entifc remedy adapted specifically K
