How Grant Saved Mississippi.

Looking back to that period, it is
apparent to all who know the his
toly of the downfall Of the recon
struction government in this State,
that the President held the key to
the situation.
One word from him to Ames Civ
ing him the Federal troops would
have prolonged the negro govern
ment indefinitely, if it had not lit
orally doomed the State to final and
irretrievable ruin
The value and importance of
Gen. Grants action i'm that life and
death matter to the State, it is
strange to say, was not recognized
or appreciated by the State at large
at that time, and since then it has
dropped out of sight and memory.
Gen. Grant advisedly and literal
~ gave the white man their oppor-
tunity to save themselves, and they
instantly and intuitively availed
themselves Of their chance and over
turned the Ames administration.
This was not the only occasion
upon which Gen. Grant exhibited
his generous and friendly senti-
ments for the Southern people.
Upon the surrender of Nicksburg
he paroled the entire Confederate
army that marched out of Nicksburg
with all the honors of war, officers
with their side arms and horses
and every soldier with his personal
property and effects.
At Appomattox Gen. Grant re-
fused to take the sword Of Gen.
Lee, paroled his entire army, and
left the Confederates with all of
their teams to take to their homes.

COCAINE.

The frightful effect of the cocaine
habit has begun to force itself upon
the attention of lawmakers and
law-enforcers everywhere. Police
records in all the cities show that
the use of cocaine Is an important
and steady growing incentive to
crime, dividing the evil credit Of
degeneracy with bad liquor, which
once enjoyed almost a monopoly of
this dishOnor. lit is now admitted
that cocaine has a worse effect up
on its victims than whiskey and
that, while the latter habit is in a
measure checked by the growing
prohibition sentiment, its twin drug
Is permitted to flourish almost with
out hindrance, either through lack
OF adequate statutes or through fail
ure to enforce them.
The alarming growth Of the CO.
caine evil in Chicago has stirred
the authorities to action, and the
Illinois Legislature has been urged
to enact new law, drafted by
Municipal Judge Sadler, for the
stricter regulation of sales. Under
the terms Of the measure proposed,
the only legal retail sale to be al
lowed on the prescription of a regis
tered doctor, which must give the
name and address of the person
prescribed for and the date upon
which it was filled. The prescrip-
ton must be preserved by the drug
gist, who is allowed to fill it but
once. Physicians are forbidden to
prescribe the drug for persons known
to be addicted to its use. The sale
of cocaine products under other
names is also forbidden. Penalty
for violation is a fine not exceeding
$1,000, imprisonment for not more
than one year, and revocation Of
the culprit's license.
Agitation for stricter cocaine laws
has been in progress for some time
in New York. In New Orleans the
police has recently attempted to
check the illegal sales of the drug
Gov. Nardaman, in his address to
peace officers of Mississippi last
week, laid special stress upon the
evil effects of cocaine upon the ne
groes and urged that the cocaine
dive be driven from the face of the
earth" The Governor called for
the most rigid enforcement of the
the States laws regulating sales Of
the drug, along with those dealing
with concealed weapons and liquor
"a trinity of evils upon which he
charges responsibility for the appal-
ling increase of revolving crimes
among blacks and low whites
So far as evil effects are concerned,
cocaine appears to be a more dan
gerous agent than bad whiskey.
The evil dividends that accrue to
its victims are more speedily paid
and are much larger and surer.
Public sentiment against cocaine
may be crystallized much more
than against liquor, for among in
telligent people there can be no
division as to its harmfulness.
Leaders of the prohibition move
ment might strengthen their cause
by joining a demand for stringent
cocaine legislation, and its strict en-
forcement, to their appeal for the
elimination of the liquor dive

morning newspaper named the Tri-

year to discover that these times of
high labor and high paper are not
good ones to support a newspaper

The Just as Good Kind'' Never Pa

The 'Just as Good Kind Never Pays.
If there is one thing more than
another that should aggravate a
self-respecting person, it is to be
told that the article they ask for at
their druggist 5 is not to be had, but
that they can have something just
as good or better. " The principal
reason for such attemps at substitu-
ton is either the desire of the store
keeper to sell something on which
he can make more money, or he
hasn't the goods asked for, and
wants to make a sale of something
in its place.
Every reader Of this paper should
bear in mind when asking for Ninol,
the modern cod liver oil prepara-
ton, that is for sale in Aberdeen at
our store, only, and that it can al
ways be had when asked for.
The reason Ninol is so far superb
or to old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions is because it is made by a
scientific, extractive and concentrat-
ing process from fresh Gods livers,
combining with peptonate Of iron
all the medicinal, healing and body
building elements Of cod liver oil,
but no oil.
As body builder and strength
creator for old people, delicate chill

ter sickness, and for chronic coughs,
colds, bronchitis, and all throat
and lung troubles, Ninol is uneX-
