MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them aQdf Sc
rious Consequences Neg
Iect.

"Fix me up something 10 knock the
malaria, DOCTOR" remarked a sallow-
faced, sick1y looking man, entering a
prominent physician's Office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down coupie of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake well and follow directions and
resumed his seat
"Such cases are frequent, replied the
doctor in answer to a question. "The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach. liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the ma1arial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
nalaria1 germ and the serious diseases
which follow 1t is to get into good condi-
ton by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fre-
quent intervals during the sick1y season.
A dose of Prick1y Ash Bitters three OF
four times week will do all of this, be-
sides stimulating the digestion, improv-
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch.
Prick1y Ash Bitters is known every
where as system tonic and bowel regu-
1ator. It not only removes all traces of
malaria1 poison from the system, but
tones up the vital organs, gives new
strength and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.
"Prick1y Ash Bitters Is the best ali-around
medicine for the family I ever used. During the
past ten years have always kept 1t In my house

Bank at Port Gibson DissOIves

Bank at Port Gibson DissOIves
A certificate of the dissolution Of
the Mississippi Savings Bank &
Loan Company, of Port Gibson,
Claiborne county, was received by
Secretary Power to day The in
stitiution goes into liquidation un-
der the new law. section o32 of new
Code, and is the first corporation
to take advantage of the dissolution
statute The certificate shows thar
the corporation paid all of its debts
in full and distributed the remain
ing assets among the shareholders
of the bank.
The foregoing from the Jackson
column of the Natchez Democrat
Is misleading and at variance with
facts. The dissolution of the bank
was made simply for the purpose
of consolidating it with another,
and instead of distributing the as
sets, new stock was issued to the
stockholders.

Important Step Taken at Atlanta
by the Cotton Conference.


Atlanta, Ca, Oct. S-That the
time is not far distant when the
cotton planters of the South viii
sell their product direct to the
spinners of Europe and Americs
instead of through the middleman
in bales ginned and compressed al
the plantation, with methods II
which loss has been reduced to 6
minimum, was indicated by to-day''
discussion before the international
conference of cotton growers and
spinners.
Spinners representing hundreds
of mills and millions of spindles
told the planters that they were not
only willing but anxious to buy
their cotton direct from the planter,
just as soon as the planter can de-
liver direct. Big planters and rep
resentatives of the Farmers Union
told the spinners of Europe that al
ready they were organized, had
built chain of cotton warehouses,
and had perfected business system
by which the spiuners could pur-
chase an almost unlimited supply of
graded cotton, and were ready to
eliminate the antiquated method of
selling through niddleman.
"But," said Herr Arthur Kufder
Of Vienna, IF you planters wish to
trade direct with us you must not
fix the price arbitrarily at fifteen
cents and you must give us better
service than the merchant"
Action furthering this condition
took concrete form in the unani-
nous adoption by the conference of
a resolution presented by the COM
mittee on trade relations between
growers and spinners. This reso
luton declared that much of the
present difficulty in handling cot
ton could be eliminated if the grow
ers would adopt what is known as.
the warehouse system and estab-
lish agents In Europe and America.

to be the most attractive and interest
ing in many respects in the history OF

been greatly improved since the last

fore, clean and up-to-date amuse-

and the race program next week Will

MANY sections of the country. lt Is

Everyone is now predicting success
for the big show at jamestown and
there seems to be no doubt that the
prospects are bright at present ana
daily growing more so. An ofhciai'
prominently identified with it says;
1.-THE prospect for rush of visitors
to the big show in the last half OF the
exposition season is sufficiently en-
couraging to quiet the fears OF the
most pessimistic." He continued,
1.-THE vanguard of the vast army OF
sieht-seers from other States is al
ready in evidence. The officers OF
the company are jubilant over the
improved conditions and prospect OF
scoring big financial success in the
face of the many obstacles with which
they have had to contend. Inc
changed aspect has had this effect,
too. 1t has transformed the resident
pessimists, knockers and douoting
Thomases into boomers, boosters ana
optimists, and all are working as they
never worked before for the success

The war. which seemed to be I'M
minent between the state of Virginia
and the railroad companies over the
2-cent passenger rate, has been avert
Cd nv the surrender of the railways
70 the demands-of the people through |
their representatives, backed by the
Governor of Virginia. The railroad
people wisely concluding, doubtless
that they could not afford to make
fight in defiance of the laws OF the
state made a proposition, which has
been accepted by the state authorizes.
In accordance with their agreement
the railroad companies will put into
effect the 2-cent passenger rate pre-
scribed by the Corporation Commls-
sion not later than October LIST, and
continue that rate until the Supreme
Court of the Uuited States shall have
made a final decision upon the con-
stitutionality of the laws under when
several states have undertaken to nix
passenger rates.
The Virginia railroads, in reaching
the conclusion they have in the mat
fer have not only prevented the
ugly complications which would nave
arisen between the State and Fed
eral authorities and the irritation and
i'll feeling incident thereto, but an
other and important result may have
been accomplished, which they 90
not now foresee. AS the Baltimore
Sun says:
"some considerable time must elapse
before a decision upon the right OF
the State to establish the 2-cent rate
is reached. In the meantime there
will be an opportunity to give thelow
rate q fair trial, and that fair trial
NAV have such results that the ran
road companies will have no desire to
return to thehigherrate. Its entlre-
" conceivable that the 2-cent raUe
NAV be more profitable than the
cent rate. In sparsely settled rural
communities people are not mucn IL
the habit of travelling. A trip TO the
citv once or twice year is the ex'
tent of the travel of the majority Ii
is not an extravagent expectation
that at lower rate of passage these
rural people will take two trips where
they now take one. The lower rate
will certainly stimulate the habit o
travelling, and it should be the ehor'
of the railroads to induce people u
travel for pleasure and not to confn'
their passengers to those who arr
compelled to travel. Those persons
who travel regularly on business ort'
and from their homes have all aions
gotten the benefit of reduced rates b!
buying mileage books or communication
tickets. so there will be little or III
loss of revenue from these by adopt
ing the 2-cent rate"
