didacy for Clerk of Court in the re-
cent primary and especially my
friends who stood so Loyalty by me in
the face of the fierce assaults made
upon me. I am sure it will be graft
flying to them, to the people, as it is
to me, to know that with all said
about me derogative of my character
I carried every box at which I have
lived and the two boxes at which
was born and raised by handsome
majorities.
At Crout's Store, where I was born
and where I married, my vote was 81
to 80 for both of my opponents. AT
Summit, where I was raised, my vote

while at Lexington where have lived
for only eight years and where my op-
ounent for the second race has lived
all his life, where his family and rela-
lives live, I beat him.
take this as an indisputable testi-
monial to my character as man and
as citizen and as an evidence of the
belief of those who know US best in
my competency and fitness for the
place. =
Ny campaign just ended was made
upon my merit as man and as an
official. I attacked no mans charac-
ter, indulged in no bitter, mean per-
sonalities, slung no mud and in the
campaign to follow, I promise you
the same clean. manly, straightfor-
ward fight that have always made

Very respectfully,

The election passed off very quietly
although the contests were close and
the friends of the respective candi-
dates showed unusual activity. The
second races promise even greater ef-
forts and tremendous vote is expect
ed. No one at this stage can predict
the fiji al results but whatever they
may be, it Is certain that complete
acquiescence will be given. That is
the Democratic spirit which should
prevail in all contests submitted to
the people.

The interest created in leading cities
during the past year by young MT.
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by a peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon-
sible for much i'll health, and 1t is an
undoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main cause
of all i'll health. He claims that few
can have poor health with a good di-
gestion. He further claims that his
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet 1t not
only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule as
ISOLATED with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter OF
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2138 Car
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved of a large parasite by Mr..
Cooper's preparation during his stay
In that city. In speaking of the mat.
ter to MI. Cooper, the mother said:
my child Jessie, who is fourteen years
old. has been suffering with this
trouble for over v years. Until
this morning we did not know what

A Complete Drainage System.

Mr.. Ben Jones, of Leflore County, has
put In what is perhaps the most CON-
plete system of tile drainage in the
Delta. He has put In already on n of
his farms of about 800 acres, over $4,000
feet of tile. The piece OF land 80
drained is what is known as "cold"
land, and Mr.. Jones concluded to make
this test to see whether or not, in actual
dollars and cents, tile drainage as
.practiced in the Middle West would be
profitable In the Delta.
This experiment is of particular in
terest to the planters of Coahoma Coun-
ty. 1t is a mooted question with them
whether 1t is not more profitable to in
vest ones surplus funds in more land,
rather than attempt to bring m plan
tation to a high state Of productiveness.
The experience Of the past three years,
however, have very foreibly demon
strated that farming badly drained land
la a poor business proposition and it
may now be safely said that the burden
of proof Is now conceded to be on the
side of improving the land one already
owns, rather than buy more land. The
labor problem is a serious factor, and it
is becoming more serious all the time.
1t is a well-known fact that the smaller
planters, as a rule, are In much better
financial circumstances than the large
land owners, and this is largely due to
the fact that the smaller planters come
nearer living at home, and to the fur
Their fact that their lands are better
worked.
1t will be interesting to watch the
perience of Mr.. Jones. His experience
will shed much light on the advisability
of introducing tile into the Delta under
present conditions OF labor and land
values. -Clarksdale Register.

DIES OF WOUND


Walden, Miss, 20.--Dr. W. W. Nye,
who was accidentally shot while bird
hunting Wednesday afternoon, by his
brother-in-faw, Horace Diamond. died
from the effects of the wound yesterday
noon, and was buried here to-day in the
local cemetery. He and Mr.. Diamond
were In the bennington neighborhood
hunting, when he received a full charge
of bird shot In his left lung at close
range.
He had been a practicing physician
for several years, and had spent some
months in LeHore and Clay COMMITTEES,
where he had a high reputation for pro-
fesslonal skill. About Christmas he re-
turned home to his father, Mr.. W. W.
Nye, on account of illness, and had just
recovered sufficiently to be able to go
about, expecting TIC resume his practice
when he grew stronger.
Rev. e. s. Gum, Of Winona, dictated
at the funeral exercises, and there were
present a large number Of Borrowing
friends and relatives.

THE X-RAY TO CURE
APPENDICITIS.
Knife Of Surgeon will be Eliminated
from Malsdy.

New York, March If newly dis
covered cure for appendicitis turns out
to be as certain as 1t looks TO be, the
knife Of the surgeon will be eliminated
from the treatment Of this malady, and
humanity may retain possession OF its
appendices forever.
BY pure accident DR.. Charles Harvey
Archibald of this city has discovered
that appendicitis yields to tie applica-
ton of the X-ray as quickly as mists
are dissipated by the sun.
The discoyerer has cured many cases
in his private practice, and to-day an
nounced publicly his discovery and Of
fered to prove his sure before any clinic
of medical experts in the country.
When a case of appendicitis comes
into DR.. Achibald's office at No. 1903
Madison avenue, the physian does not
sharpen up his cutlery and begin max
ing incisions to take the appendix
away. All he does is to sit his patient
down in front of a Roentgen machine.
Then the rays are powerfully concen-
trated upon the sore spot. Immediately
the swelling goes down and the excru-
ciating pains stop short. And five or
six days later, after four to six "applica-
TORS" the doctor says the cure is al
ways complete.
1.-THE new cure is so childishly simple
that | would have never com upon 1t
except by the merest luck" said the
doctor. SIT is nothing more nor less
than the process Of bombarding the con-
gestion about the appendix with violent
electric rays and a high frequency cur.
rent. The treatment compels the blood
to return to the central circulating sys.
TEN, the congestion departs for the sim
pie reason that the cause Of the con.
gestion has been removed-and that's
the end of the appendicitis"

PECULIAR PROPERTIES

Cooper Preparation Attracts Widespread At
tention by Expecting Internal
Parasites.

the trouble was. She was extremely
nervous; the least little thing would
upset her; her tongue was coated, and
at times she would have a good APP
petite, then again could not bear the
sight Of food; she was restless at
night, had a bad breath, especially
when she got up Of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her. but
met with no success. We were Just
on the point of giving up trying any
thing else, when we began to read OF
Cooper's New Discovery. Several days
ago we purchased this medicine. Jes-
sic has been using it regularly, and
this morning this parasite left her
system. I don't wonder that she has
always felt bad, and nothing we would
give her seemed to relieve her. Now
that she is relieved Of this tapeworm
l feel sure that she will grow better
each day, and enjoy perfect health.
Mr.. Cooper, your medicine is worth a
thousand times more than you charge
for 1t. I know of a number Of people
troubled the same way as Jessie has
been, and l certainly expect to tell
them personally to try your medicine"
We would advise anyone who has
been troubled for some time with gem
eral poor health to try this great med.
icine. We are agent for 1t In this city.
