THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient dlsinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not drug at all but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating ons ions and other odorous vegetables. \ Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered 1 Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting loz- enges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in 8 much improved condi- ton of the general health, better com plexion, sweeter breath an q p,,rer blood, and the beauty of it Is. thar no possible harm can result from their continued use, but. on the contrary great benefit
 4 Buffalo physician. in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: q ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in ston. ach and bowels, and to clear the com. plexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat, I also believe the liver i, greatly benefited by the daily use o them: they cost hut twenty-five cents 7 box at drug stores. and although ir . some sense a patent preparation. ve I believe 1 get more and better char coal in stuart's Charcoal Lozenge. than in any of the ordinary charcoa tablets

According to the dramatic crit
les of New York City, the hit of
the season, in that metropolis,
has been "A Gentleman from
Mississippi" containing much To-
cal coloring, and having as a he

commonwealth. The play was
written %avowedly, in the interest
of reform and for the purpose of
discouraging graft in the seats
of the mighty 1t is intimated
rather broadly by the critics that
our newly elected senator. John
Sharp Williams, furnished the
model for the hero and Missis-

fill the air she can furnish a man
whose record is unassailable land
whose hands are clean enough to
proclaim him as a hero and model
of honesty and fair dealing. Rah

The Busy Tend Dollar Bill.

Mr. Brown keeps a boarding
house. Around his table sat his
wife, Mrs. Brown; the village mil
liner, Mrs. Andrews; Mr.. Black,
the baker; Mr.. Jordan, a carpen-
ter, and Mr.. Hadley, a flour, feed
and lumber merchant. Mr..
Brown took $40 out of his pocket
and handedit to Mrs. Brown with
the remark that there was $40
toward the $40 he had promised
her. Mrs. Brown handed the bill
to Mrs. Andrews, the m%illiner,
saying: That pays for my new
bonnet" Mrs. Andrews in turn
passed it On to Mr.. Jordan, re-
marking that it would pay for the
carpenter work he had done for
her. Mr.. Jordan handed it to
Mr.. Hadley, requesting his re-
ceipted bill for flour, feed and
lumber. Mr.. Hadley gave the
bill back to M. Brown, saying
THAT pays SO on my board.
Mr.. Brown again passed it to
Mrs. Brown, remarking that he
had now paid her the 500 he he'd
promised her. She in turn paid
Mr.. Black to settle her bread and
pastry account. Mr.. Black hand
ed it to Mr.. Hadley, asking cred
it for the amount on his flour bill.
Mr.. Hadley again returned it
to Mr.. Brown, with the remark
that it settled for that months
board, whereupon Mr.. Brown
pnt it back in his pocket, observ-
ing that he had not supposed a
greenback would go so far. But
suppose Mrs. Brown had sent to
a mail order house for her new
bonnet. Then the $40 would
have gone out of town and never
come back. The moral: Spend
your money at home. -Osceola

State Crop Very Good.

Colonel LEROY Taylor, member
of the penitentiary board of trus-
tees, is spending the day in the
city, having just returned from a
visit of inspection at the Parch.
man and Belmont states farms.
He leaves this afternoon on the
same mission for Rankin, and
will go Monday to Oakley.
Colonel Taylor is not so pes
sim;stic over the crop out look on
the state farms as is Colone.
Montgomery, who has figured
out that 1000 bales'will be about
the limit of production. He
thinks the crop will run between
5000 and 5000 bales. But even
then the crop is below expecta-
tons, as he states the crop was
planted for about 1000 bales.
He estimated today that the crop
will be at least Is per cent, below
what they expected in July.
The crop at Belmont is not so
good as at SunhoWer. At both
places there is a good crop of
corn, and Colonel Taylor esti-
mates that there will be at least
10000 bushels of corn for the
market, after supplying the stock
on the farms, There is also a
good crop of both ribbon and sor-
ghum cane, and the experiment
tai crops of rice, alfalfa, etc are
doing well. There will be more
hay than can be gathered, as
there will not be sufficient room
to store the crop.
About 500 bales of cotton have
been ginned at Parchman, and
the picking is progressing at the
rate of about 40 bales per day du-
ring good weather. At Belmont
about 250 bales have been picked
but no ginning has been DONE

The Boil Weevil's Approach.

At the boil weevil convention
held last week at Vicksburg the
farmers of the State were given
sumo very plain and pointed ad-
vice by the government expert,
Mr.. j. A. Evans, who warned
them of the approaching danger
from the cotton pest. Mr.. Evans
has observed the work of devas-
tation wrought by the weevil
since its appearance in Texas
fourteen years ago and is better
prepared than any one else to talk
authoritively on the subject. He
stated hat ''the weevil is here
and here to stay, and this being
the case the cotton raisers of Mis-
sissippi had better begin at once
to meet the situation. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Evans
said:- | wonld like to hold out en-
couragement," and assure the
planters that the damage will not
be great, that the situation has
been painted too blackly. but |
can not, as the matter is serious
to the extreme and the probable
damage is incalculable." *
The weevil is here and here to
stay. There is no reason why it
should desert the country which
it has overrun, as conditions are
to its liking, and it is satisfied to
stay. 1t is frs, last. and all the
time a cotton pest, attacking no
other species of vegetation, ana
will naturally remain in the cot
ton country" 3
Il want to say to some of you
planters who are now rated as A
No. l and who are worth 500, 900
or more, that in a year or two
from now your credit will be nil
and you will be bankrupt if you
attempt to raise cotton under the
conditions with which you are ia
miliar and along the lines you are
now working" Reduce your
cotton acreage and plant only on
an acreage that can be properly
and scientifically cultivated. If
you attempt to plant your present
acreage and use present methods
| say to you, do not. The result
will be your ruin. Raise what
you can to eat. If you do not
raise what you eat, you will
starve, for the merchants are not
going to furnish you. Diversity
your crops and raise your own
meat and feed. Make your plan
tations self-sustaining, or figure
on moving" This advice is
timely and cotton planters should
begin at once to meet the condi-
tons that will be upon him with
in two or three years at the out
side. 1t is a hard matter to
arouse people to a danger that is
as far away as far away as this
is thought to be, but we should
study the methods suggested
as most practical to avoid the
worst from this pest, We need
to learn what has benefited others
and put in practical operation
the suggestions of the experts
who are in a position to give US

The great need of the demo
Gratis at this time is sufficient
money to carry on a vigorous
canvass until the day of the ell

ting money in plenty, but the
same sent to the democratic
campaign committee are mea-
ger compared with the amounts
pouring into the republican COM
mittee. 1t is reported from
Washington that $3.50, 900 was
sent the republican committee
one day. The managers have
began the frying" process and
the fat is pouring into their head
quarters. Ali kinds of dire CAL
antilles are being held up before
business men if Mr.. Bryan should
be elected, and every means pos
sible will be exerted to make the
business interests take a plunge
toward Taft. One of the latest
dangers which %confrOnts the bus
mess interests. it is held up by
the republicans, wonld be the
probability of MI. Bryan naming
four or five members of the Su-
peme court of the United States.
and that Mr.. Bryan would pick
men for the bench who void car
ry out the policy of Mr.. Gompers
and men of that standing. This
has brought contributions in
large sums and money is now
plentiful with the republicans.

The Confederate Soldier.

From the days of brave Leonidas, adown the tides of time.
In all their glory, pomp and pride and martial deeds sublime:
Whether Saxon, Cat or Teuton or the flower of La Belle France.
Mid the blazing bech of cannon, where the val steeds madly prance,
Mid scenes of deaths wild carnage. where the war gods hold mad SWAY,
Mortal eyes meier saw the equals ofthose glorious ranks of gray.
0! those born sons of freedom, Of the deathhss scroll of fame,
Writ heroic deeds of daring in u Sunny Southands name
Grand grin, titanic warriors If AUS forever Just,
The bards of coming ages will Defy your dust
And the cycles of the centuries n grander troops will see
Than the vanished hosts of Jackson and the scattered ranks of Lee
Then we meet you and we greet you on this glad reunion day:
Survivors of our Southands cause! Your fame a ne e. decay.
IT'S the heritage of freemen and your deeds we're not in van.
For descendants of such heroes viii. show ancestral strain.
But for blood baptized Columbia, cast n heroic mould.
Would repeat the deeds of daring of their fighting sires of old
But your gallant ranks are thinning and that glorious line of gray,
Like mist before the day king, is fading fast away;
And son a sainted memory will be all that shall remain
OF those deathless, dauntless legions who marched to "Dixies's' strain
And with your earth-lfe ended and immortal spirits free
You'll rejoin the phantom columns of your Jackson and vor Lee.
When your courage thrilled the world when you dared to do or die;
When proud Stars and Bars of Dixie mid the gonfaons of earth,
Kissed first the breeze of Heaven and proclaimed a nations birth.
