Maryels of Modern Surgery.

When will come the limit to the
wonders of surgery?
Year by year surgeons are becom'
ing more bold, and, also, it is crafty
ing to learn, more successful. This
is due partly to the introduction OF
antlseptic methods in surgery, and
also to the fact that one success has
encouraged another. Surgeons, more
over, like every one else, in these
days of competition. specialize. and 80
it happens that after man has per-
formed some 5000 operations on an
organ such as the eye or the appendix,
be acquires dexterity as an operator
that practically excludes the posslbil'
ity OF failure. Besides, surgeons now.
adays consider that the vital organs,
the heart, the brains, the lungs, are
much less sensitive than was former
ly believed to be the case.
If, for example, a patient collapses
on the operating table under the In
fuence of chloroform, the surgeon,
after trying usual methods of restora-
ton, will boldly cut down to the sub
stance of the heart itself, and SUBJ
ject 1t to an appropriate massage. A
bullet wound in the heart was, in the
old days, necessarily fatal. Not so
now. Such a wound could be clean
ed out, f seen in time, and stitched
up, 80 that in three weeks the patient
might begin to get about with every
prospect of being able soon afterward
to enter again on his usual avocations.
A young girl stabbed to the heart
Was recently brought into hospital
in Paris. The heart had been deeply
penetrated by the knife Of the would
be assassin. The wound Was at once
sewn up, and the girl made perfect
recovery.
The brain was once thought to be a
very delicate organ; nowadays it is
often treated, when it goes wrong, with
scant courtesy. Take typical case.
A young fellow who is engaged IN Ia
boring work finds himself getting un'
steady on his legs. Presently he be-

He is taken to a hospital, and by a

Lon Livingston, Harvie
Jordan's Partner.

For seventeen yeare the farm
ers OF the Atlanta (Ga.) District
have kept Lon Livingston in
Congress.
For seventeen years the COR
porations have been using for
their own purposes, the Con-
gressman whom the farmers
elected.
Not a single thing has he done
that makes the condition of the
farmers better than it was when
he first won the Office. His Op-
portunity was great, and he
could have done much. He has
not only done nothing for the
agricultural classes, but he has
not even tried. Think of what
this man might have done for
the farmer during this seventeen
years in which they have kept
him in office had he wanted to
serve them-with anything more
substantial than lip service.
Had he but given to the farmers
half the zeal he gave to the
Southern Railway Company, how
much brighter might have been
the home and life of every farmer
in the South!
Recently, indeed. he has be-
como loud in his declaration
against cotton Future Gambling.
But the evil was as great ten
years ago as now; why then, has
Livingston not applied for his
"Fraud Order" before this?
Because there was no Farmers
Union movement to dupe, mis-
lead and betray. as he duped,
misled and betrayed the Farmers
Alliance, He and McCune sold
out the Farmers Alliance to the
Wall Street Railroaders led by
Pat Calhoun, and he now wants
to aid Harvie Jordan and Joe
Hoadley in queering the great
reform movement which the real
farmers have again set on foot.
Tt is my firm and settled con-
viction that I have never known
a more abandoned knave than
Lon Livingston. The truth isn't
in him.
Honesty and sincerity are alien
to his character.
He revels in double dealing; he
is rotten to the core; and he is

New University Chancler

the University of Mississippi, is
a native of Lincoln Parish, Lou

head of the Louisiana. State IN

the presidency there to accept
the nomination of superintendent
of education on the Blanchard
ticket. He is an alumnus OF Van
derbilt University and received
the A. B. degree of that instltu'
ton. Lately Supt. Whitfield. or
Mississippi, visited several OF the
Louisiana parishes to review the
school work there AID in turn
had Prof. Aswell to visit portions
of Mississippi and witness the
workings of our public school
system. 1t was this official ana
friendly interchang Of visits that
| probably led through Supt. Whit
field who is a member OF the
Board of Trustees Of the Unlver-
lsity. to the selection OF Prof
Aswell. for the Chancellorshlp.

strained to remark that on GER
tain accounts. aside from Prof.
Aswell's conceded qualifications
for the place, the choice OF the
Board of trustees is wisely made
The situation surrounding the
vacancy has been greatly befog-
ged by political dictionaries. The
effort to use 1t to discredit Gov
Vardaman has been as apparent
as it was unscrupulous aud per-
sistent. While failure as complete
and ignominious as it was just
