To cure a stomach trouble, first
Digest the Food

we have seen it digest every food
that man eats.
1t does the same in the stom-
ach, in one-third of the time.
One can't cure the stomach by,
giving it halfway help.
There are many partial digesters
perhaps you have tried them.
But, however careful you are
with your diet, there is food which
they can't digest.
The irritation continues.
But Kodol, whatever you eat,
digests it at once and completely.
Please prove this at our risk. See
how instant is the relief. See how
quickly the stomach RECEIVERS.
You will never again permit
yourself to suffer from indigestion.

QUOTATION AND COMMENT.

"It is a landslide for Taft. Mr..
BRYAN has made a wonderful cam
paign, but he could not overcome the
prevailing idea that business condi-
lions would be adversely affected by
Republican defeat. 1t is now up to
the Republicans to make good their
pledge to restore prosperity, for to
that pledge they must attribute their
success more than to anything else
Clark Howell, National Democratic
committee man for Georgia.
The real reason may be spell
ed in four letters: cash.
"The nomination of Mr.. Taft was d
triumph over reactionary conserva'
tism, and his election was triumph
over unwise radicalism. "-President
Roosevelt
Which is a paradOx-a betwixt
and between so close that it is
wonder Taft's embonpoint WASH
squeezed fiat.
And today Bob" Wickliffe is
voted upon. for the third time
within two months. That beats
Bryan's record. - State-Times.

RIVAL CONVENTIONS.


AS may be seen by notices
published elsewhere in these
columns, a convention Of the Ma
tional Farmers Union will be
held in New Orleans, Nov. 1912,
and on similar dates a cOnven-
ton of cotton men will be held at
Memphis. For the latter event,
Mr.. Paul Potts, president Of the
Louisiana Division, Southern
Cotton Association, urges a large
attendance of cotton growers
and others interested.
Without knowing, or wishing
to enter into, the respective
merits of the two gatherings,
we are free to admit that it is
distinctly unfortunate that there
should be rival conventions at
this time, when, more than ever
unity and harmony are deSir
able.
The New Orleans meeting has
the advantage of certain definite
purposes outlined, particularlar
ly a cotton warehouse that has
undeniable commercial POSSIBLE
ties.
1t should not be hard for Lou
isiana cotton men to know tina
in this convention lies the great
err interest and benefit for them
however helpful might be tn
Memphis meeting if set TO
some other time.
Let all seek, rather than dis
courage, unity of home interests

ALL AMENDMENTS CARRIED.

The proposed amendments 1ol
the constitution were carried by
maiorities rather better than are
usually accorded to like-meas-
ures, showing that the voters
gave more than the average at
tention to them. These amend,
ments provide certain uSelul
regulations with regard to i'm
proyement bonds, authorize the
establishment of a iuvenile court,
repeal the taxing Of real estate
mortgage loans. They provide
larger yearly appropriations Tor
needy Confederate veterans, they
regulate certain salaries, and
raise the salary Of the state su'
perintendent from $4,000 to
$4,000. The passage of the latter
was not a surprise to US as we
were prepared for it by the
apathy of the country press anc
the complaisancy OF the CITY
press. 1t is significant however
that in the few parishes where
the local newspapers were faith
full to their trust, as Watchdog'
of the treasury that the amend
ment did not carry.
Had DR.. Aswell remained a
the head of educational affairs
such was the opposition to hin
already developed, that tn
amendment would have been dc
feated. But he was remoVe'
from sight, and voting men ar
such children that they soon tol
get the man behind the door
even when they see him juml
there.
1t is up to the people of Louis
anato pay the difference IN sa
airy, they have so much money
waste at present!

It is sometimes quoted as oil
example OF how the MoSlelh
mingles religion with trivial mat
tiers that the fruit vendors in the
streets of Constantinople, cry
aloud: in the name OF the
Prophet, figs In a similar
spirit of magnifying common
things, we also say, In the
name of the prophet (of good
times) figs"
In another place, may be found
q souib from the Crowley Signal
remarking upon how it is so easy
to grow figs that it becomes a
duty to plant abundantly.
How many do so? When they
can be grown so easily and cheap
Ilv. it is remarkable that even the
easy-going people of this section
do not have great orchards OF
figs. As it is, to our shame be
it said, that in the season figs are
readily sold at % cents a pail.
Let US all resolve to change
, this state of affairs. In thes'

HARD TO Referee COUNTY FAIR
Petitioners Turn Coat Too Many
Times, County Board Says.

For more than five weeks the board
of county commissioners Of Gregory
county has been engaged in the work
Of examining the petitions filed by
Herrick and Burke, two rival towns
who seek to wrest the county seat
from Fairfax, the present county capt.
tai.
Under the law It is necessary for
the county commissioners to make a
selection of the town which shall be
placed upon the ballot as the contest
ant Of the county seat town. the name
of only II contestant being permit
ted upon the ballot. The selection is
dependent upon which town can pro-
duce a petition with the signature Of
the largest number of bona fide resi-
dents and voters of the county Soon
the county seat fight was inaugurated
in Gregory county the partisans Of
both Herrick and Burke circulated
petitions and each secured a large
number Of signatures.
What has made the work Of the
county commissioners so arduous Is
the fact that the partisans of one
town have been able to induce signers
Of the rival towns petition to with
draw their names from the petition
originally signed and attach their sig
natures to the petition of the other
town. This has been the case in num-
berless instances, so far as both
Burke and Herrick have been con-
cerned.
Members of the board have nearly
lost patience. They state thai they
striving to arrive at the wish of the
people as many as seven times. the
signers first attaching their sigma
lures to the petition of one of the
towns and then Withdrawing and sign
ing the petition Of the rival town and
continuing this practice almost every
day.
Rather than be in session all spring
and summer the board finally decided
that after Monday of this week it
would ignore any new petitions or
Withdrawals that may be fled. and
will render a decision on the basis
Of those who had signed one petition
or the other prior to that time. In
view of this it is probable the board
will conclude its task this week and
select either Herrick or Burke as the
town to make the race against Fair
fax.

PETITIONS FLOOD STATE.

Every signature on these petitions
must be either in ink or with indelli-
BILE pencil. and when a voter signs he
must date the time of signing to
show that no II has started out be-
fore the open season" began.
The voter needs to have care that
he does not run foul OF the law. If
it is customary for many voters to
sign any petition presented to them.
rather thai make the circular Or feel
that they are not friendly to him, but
to sign more than II petition for any

when the voter has signed the petition
OF one man for any particular place
he must be careful that he does not
sign the petition Of any other for the
same place or he may meet trouble
in the road.
