CONSERVATIVES IN
THE PINE WOODS
Camp Established by a Noted
Authority
Peculiar Healing Power the Pines
Possess Over Affections of
the Lungs.
is VERY SIMPLE

In the pine forests of Maine, in
the northeastern quarter, a famous
specialist in consumption and kidney
troubles, has a camp in the deep pine
woods. With the oil of the white
pine trees he is effecting cures that
are attracting the attention of the
world, and are so certain that a re-
lapse is almost unknown. Patients so
i'll that they had to be carried into
the pine woods on a litter have come
out in few months completely cur
ed.
A well-known local physician who
is familiar with this treatment, says
it is just as efficient in the home of
the patient as it is in the pine woods.
1t has a peculiar healing power
over affections of the throat, lungs
and bronchial tubes, will break up
cold in "a hours, and will cure any
cough that is durable.
The treatment is very simple, con-
sisting of the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine
mixed with Whisky and Glycerine in
the following proportions:
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) ..1-2 ounce
Qlycerine ...... ........z ounces
Good Whisky .........S ounces
Shake well and use in teaspoonful
doses every four hours.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost.
Inquiry at the prescription de-
partment Of one of the leading drug
gists ELECTED the information that
the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine is put
up only in half ounce walls for dis
pensing. Each vial is securely sealed
in a round wooden case, with en-
graved wrapper showing the name
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) plain
ly printed thereon. There are many
rank limitations of Virgin Oil of
Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never accept
these as a substitute for the Pure
Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will in
variably produce nausea and never
effect the. desired result.

mending the next year. In that
event only sufficient money for a
sinking fund to pay interest and re-
tire the bonds would have to be APP
1t would not be long be-
fore the principal and interest were
paid, and with that OF our hands
the county tax rate would be perma-
nently and materially reduced"
This is sound argument, and the
sooner we educate ourselves up to
the truth of this, the better it will
be for ourselves and for posterity.
No interior city in Tennessee has
more substantial reasons to expect
permanent and ever-increasing pros
perity than Jackson.
Holding, as she does, central po-
sition in West Tennessee, the great
trunk lines naturally took the jack
son route, even when our flourish
ing little city was but a village, and
now, with the Illinois Central and
the Mobile and Ohio roads running
north and south, and the N, c. and
st. L. east and west, and other roads
seeking entrance, the commercial
Importance of the place must in
crease with each year, and in the
same ratio the Importance of having
good county roads will increase.
With the start that Madison
county now has in the construction
of gravel roads, it will be an easy
matter for her to Keep in the lead
and the more good roads that lead
into Jackson, the greater will be our
prosperity.
City Engineer Sam C. Lancaster
said in one of his articles upon the
subject that the gravel roads should
"radiate from Jackson like the points
of a star"
Let us make It a star of many
rays, and let these rays go so far
and In so many directions that Jack
son can be called "the Star City"
and each of her smooth gravel rays
will be a feeder to her prosperity,
over which the heavy-laden wains
of cotton and corn and hay, lumber
and feed can be hauled at nalf the
cost. and twice the profit that such
can be brought over
dirt roads.
In the meantime the money that
would have been spent in digging
and hauling dirt. building corduroy
roads or round logs, through bot
toms, and plank roads through 9TH
erwise inaccessible swamps, will go
to pay off the interest and principal
Of bonds and the good roads will re-
main lasting legacy to our people.

AMERICANS SENT
OUT OF KINGSTON
British Governor Says They
Are Not Needed
He Is Not Able to Cope With Situa-
ton and Blue Jackets Won
Praise of Inhabitants.
DEcoMposING BODIES SMELL.

Kingston Jamaica, Jan. al
Rear Admiral Davis mission of mer-
cy to stricken Kingston came to an
abrupt and painful conclusion in
consequence of Governor Swetten-
hams objection to the presence of
American sailors engaged in the
work of clearing the streets, guard
ing property and succoring the
wounded and sick, eliminating in a
letter to the admiral peremptorily
requesting him to reembark all par
ties which had been landed.
The friction between the governor
and the admiral began after the ar
rival of the American warships when
the governor objected to the firing
of salute in his honor on the
ground that the citizens might mis-
take the firing for a new earthquake.
He also declared there was no ne
cessity fer American aid.
hedl AuHllTdi Davis, HOWeNer,
landed parties of blue jackets, wno
patrolled the streets, cleared the de-
bris, RACED ruins, attended many
wounded and won the highest praise
from citizens and military officers
for their excellent work.
Rear Admiral Davis was still con-
WINGED that the governor was une-
quail to the task of relieving dis
tress-that this was evident from the
fact that the American field hospital
had tended many sick and wounded
and others were constantly arriving,
having been unable 90 get admission
to the government hospital.
Last night the streets of the burn
ed district still reeked with the
stencil of decaying bodies. The burn
ed ruins were illuminated only by
the baleful glow of the corpse-fires
lining the roadways.
Today many bodies were recover
ed through the aid of yultures,
which perched in flocks on the ruins
beneath which their prey is buried.
AS fast as they aie uncovered the
bodies are thrown on the funeral
pyres and slowly consumed

Shortly after Mrs. Nance left her

Underlying Tragedy.
Mrs. Henry Greif, of 800 South
Fourth street, threw the most light
on Mrs. Nance's death Mr.. and Mrs.
Nance ate Sunday dinner with Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Grief yesterday and
from all appearances were perfectly
happy. But, according to Mrs. Grief,
an undercurrent of trouble between
Mrs Nance and members of her fam
lily was causing trouble in the Nance
home. From her story it appears
that someone wished to separate Mr.
and Mrs. Nance. The reasons for It
and the belief on Mrs. Greif's part
that this interference caused Mrs.
Nance to kin herself, form story of
domestic trouble, as sad as anything
reported in years, and in her words
is as follows:
an the first place. said Mrs.
Grief, MRS. Nance confessed to me
that certain man was the father of
a child by her. The child only lived
a few days. On account of this In
cident, none of Mrs. Nance's family
would speak to her. When the case
came up in court several months ago,
Mrs. Nance was on the witness stand
and swore that this person was not
the father of the child, but when
asked her to tell me the truth, she
said she had sworn falsely because
she was afraid; that her life had been
threatened if she told the truth. Mrs.
Nance was Nina Humphreys before
she married and she came to my
house for a place I took her in and

GOOD ROADS.

The Jackson Daily Sun has some
good ideas to add to THE SUNS
suggestions for good roads. The
Jackson paper says:
The Paducah Sun of January 16,
has lengthy editorial upon good
roads from which we quote the fol-
lowing, as 1t puts the question very
well, and what is true of the advant-
age of good roads to McCracken
county and Paducah, Ky, is equally
as true of Madison county and Jack
son, Tennessee. ana, like the Padu-
cab Sun, we wish to record ourselves
on the side of the better roads
movement" OF the improvement of
the county highways it says:
Farmer and city man should join
in support of the idea. Both will be
benefited more than either realizes.
1t is customary among farmers not
to consider the value of their own
labor that of their horses nor the
wear and tear on their implements.
The agricultural industry is not so
highly organized nor is the economy
of the business so nicely estimated,
as is that of the city corporations.
But just the same these elements do
enter into the matter OF profit and
loss on the farm. For instance, eggs,
butter, corn. oats, or whatever it
may be, bring a certain price in the
market. The market is in the city. If
the weather, Is bad and the roads
impossible, the farmer must wait at
home until it is possible to haul a
heavy load to the city. In the mean
time reserve supplies of the commo-
dities may be called out by the price
offered and by the time the roads
are good the price has fallen. Eggs
and butter usually are high in the
worst season, and they are high be-
cause the farmers can't get to town
to supply the demand"
And the complaint that we daily
near of the condition of our country
roads since the recent rains, brings
home to us the fact that both as
city and county we are suffering
from bad roads.
Even within the city limits, re-
ports come of heavy laden wagons
having been stalled and sunk to
their hubs in the mud on the ungrav-
eled streets and in the country travel
Is almost at a standstill, except on
the graveled roads.
To the timid the issuing of bonds
is a great bug-a-boo, and they see
in their imagination, ruin and bank
ruptcy staring in the face of the city
or county which has the temerity to
issue them; but experience has prov

ration issuing them.

Mrs. Nance charged young man
who had been calling on her, with be-
ing the child's father hut the young
man left the city when the trouble
came up. She told me that the young
man was innocent of the charge. Mrs.
Nance told me that ever since she
had been married to Mr. Nance she
had been bounded. She said that
man would come to her house when
Mr.. Nance was at work and then go
to MIR. Nance and tell him he had
been to see his wife, and that he
would write notes and do the same
thing. The only trouble l know of
between Mr.. and Mrs. Nance was,
that Mr.. Nance told her she would
have to choose between this man and
himself"
Last Saturday afternoon Mr. and
Mrs. Nance and myself went down
Kentucky avenue, and Mr.. Nance left
us at the market to go over to the
ways to get his wages. Mrs. Nance
and myself went into the market and
there met this man. He came up to
us and said something to Mrs. Nance,

Mrs. Nance told me that she
Ihad received a note Friday and that
she would come over Monday morn
ing to show 1t to me. It was because
she didn't come this morning that l
went over to see her and found her
dead. Yes. Mrs. Nance had often
spoken to me about killing herself.
