poor man? Now, do you think

Scott always wanted me to save
enough money to buy us home.
but some way seem to have hard
luck, and couldn't. Now, just
think how surprised and glad my
wife and 1 were when on Christmas
Day, 1905, we got deed from Mr..
and Mrs. Scott, giving us forty
acres of fine timber land right next
to the land we were then renting
from them. The land and timber
is worth over $500, and Mr.. Scott
fixed the deed so we can't sell or
mortgage it, but when we die it
goes to our children. Now, this
gives all idea of the real character
of the Hon. Charles Scott, because
he has lots of sense and has work
ed harder than anybody I ever
knew, has made lot or money,
but who is kind and good to every
body, and who is the best and most
generous man I ever knew.
But 1 am not the only one he
has been kind to. There are a
whole lot of others, and no one
will ever know how much good he
has really done, for lie is not the
kind of man to talk, but he just
goes ahead and does things. His
heart is as big as all outdoors, and its
in the right place, too; and I want
to say to the people Of Mississippi,
and especially to my brother far
mers; that they will make no mis-
take and will be doing the right
thing to vote for my friend Charley
Scott for governor, and if they only
knew him as I do every one of
them would do it, too.

A THOUSAND VOTES
Qualified List the Largest
in the History of tn:
County

evince a greater interest in the pol
itics of their county and state, or
that suffragists are flocking to Boil
ivar county, is shown by the re-
cent registration which is larger by
20 per cent than previously made.
At other times there have been
strenuous efforts made to qualify
every eligible person in the county,
but no such measures were resort
ed to this year, as we understand
it, and those who have established
their eligibility have done so, it is
hoped, with the sole desire of par
ticipating in these primaries to the
end that the best men may be Sc
lected to take charge of the county S
affairs.
We take it that this large regis
tration is a hopeful sign; that III
the selection of candidates only
men of known excellence and ster-
ling integrity are to be placed i'll
charge. If this be true, then, in
deed, have we taken a most worthy
and coinnlandable step i'll the di-
rect;on of good and wholesome
county and state government. We
may have not suffered greatly in
the past through negligence and in
difference in this regard, but we
voice the sentiment Of the good
people and pressage the hope of
permanent and lasting progress,
when we say that we trust that
such is really the conclusion that
our people have reached. We need
good officials as badly today as at
any other time in the history of our
state and county. We are upon
the veay threshold OF opportunity
ane achievment in all that makes
for theFhigher and better conditions
of Our state ard county, and we
should. see to it that the best men
are selected to have charge OF our
affairs.
The figures of our voting
strength given below are approxi-
mately correct, though they take
no account of a number who are
eligible to vote, but not registered.
This pertains largely to young men,
who though not yet of age, will be-
come so before the general election
| in November. 1t is thought that
enough names yet remain to be re-
gistered to swell the total voting
strength above the thousand mark.
Several of the candidates are hav-
ing lists prepared, but it will be
several weeks before the exact re-
gistration will be known. Here is
approximately the relative voting
strength of the different precicts of
the county as it stands today:

A Strange Rite.

Climbing mountain daily to throw
fresh snow on the body Of former
schooImate in order to keep the corpse
preserved for interment is the loving
task which for weeks Edward Schooley
and his wife have performed in Inyo
County. The body is that of Ray
mond Kelly, who, in recent mountain
storm, died from exposure near min
ing claim at the summit.
Schooley and his wife were unable
to raise $3.50, the sum demanded to
remove the body to Santa Barbara in
the winter time, so they determined
to keep it as long as they could in
high altitude, and friendly under
taker promised to go to the spot in
February.
Kelly lost his life while climbing the
mountain and a cOmrade ran miles
down the trails in the snow to get aid
The Schooleys responded, but could
not save Kelly. They carried the
corpse mile down the. mountain trail

Many valuable pearls have been
found in the last five years. One
found near Lansing, Iowa, in 1902,
was sold in Boston for $4,000. 1t
was nearly an inch in diameter, flaw
less and of the regular pearl" color.
The Queen Mary" found the same

while the supper cooled in the near

'culls," and while idly tossing them
about she noticed something sticking
to one of them. A close examination
revealed an enormous pearl partly i'm
bedded in the shell. In his joy at the
recovery of the fortune he had SO
carelessly thrown away he declared
that she must keep and wear the
beautiful jewel, but when buyer APP

her the price of good farm, house

them both running, they came to the
conclusion that while the jewel might
look out of place with her calico
dress the farm wouldn't.-Outing.

Strawberries as Food.

An official of the Department Of
Agriculture in discussion of the nutri-
tive value of fruits says that the aver
age man who should undertake to live
on strawberries would have to con-
sumo lightweight pounds of them in
a day in order to obtain a sufficient
quantity of one of the most important
elements of food, protein. But while
he was getting the proper amount of
protein from the strawberries, they
would give him seven times too much

EASY FOOD
Ready For Instant Use Without Cook
ing.

Almost everyone likes a cereal food
Of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results in pasty mass that is
hard to digest, and if not properly
digested. the raw mass goes down
into the intestinal tract where gas is
generated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps the body
well, while poor food, or even food OF
good quality that is poorly prepared
and not digested, is sure to bring on
some kind Of disease.
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape-Nuts. made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
the factory, some IL to 16 hours be-
ing 9nsumed in the different pro-
cesses of preparation. The food,
therefore, is ready for instant SER
vice and the starch has been changed
to form of Sugar, so that it is pre-
digested and ready for almost imme-
date absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indiges-
ton and dyspepsia from the use OF
food that was not suitable to her
powers of digestion. She says:
Il began using Grape-Nuts. and l
confess to having had prejudice at
first. and was repeatedly urged before
/ finally decided to try the food, but I
have not known what indigestion is
since using it. and have never been
stronger or in better health. I have
increased in weight from 100 to 124
