Mrs. Lenora Bodenhamer, r. F. d. I,
Box 80, Kernersville, N. c., writes:
81 suffered with stomach trouble and
indigestion for some time, and nothing
that 1 ate agreed with me. l was very
nervous and experienced a continual
feeling of uneasinesS and fear. I took
medicine from the doctor, but it did me
n 10 good.
81 found in one of your Peruna books
a description of my symptoms. 1 then
wrote to DIR. Hartman for advice. He
said / had catarrh of the stomach. 1
took Peruna and Manalin and followed
his directions and can now say that I
feel as well as l ever did.
81 hope hat all who are afflicted with
the same symptoms will take Peruna,
as it has certainly cured me-"
The above is only one Of hundreds
who have written similar letters to DR..
Hartman. Just one such case as this

alton of every n similarly afflicted. If
this be true of the testimony Of enc per-
son what ought to be the testimony Of

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema Lasted 7 Years-Face Was All
Raw-Skin Specialists Failed, But
Cuticura Effected Cure.

when my little boy was six weeks
old an eruption broke out on his face.
I took him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was n crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then l took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not get a nights sleep in
months. I got a set of Cuticura Rene
dies and he felt relieved the first time
l used them. I gave the Cuticura
Remedies a good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up. He is now
seven years old and 1 think the trou.

France Surprised.

When President Roosevelt begar
putting ginger in the campaign, the
French press devoted much attention
to the American election. 1t severely
tested the readers imaginative pow
ers by trying to picture a French
president making a similar "virulent
Intervention" in the election of his
successor.
The Petit Parisien thus explains
publics:
Whereas a French president is
considered above all parties to which
he serves as an arbitrator, it is a
party leader who inhabits the White
House," The Temps says President
Roosevelt acts as If he were the can
didate, as if honorable scruples had
not made him refuse a third term.
France, however, should be no
more surprised at Roosevelt's lack OF
dignity and appreciation Of his high
office than America. His '%interven.
ton" was astonishing to the people
of this country, too, although not so
much SO as to France, for the reason
that we have been led up to the sorry
spectacle in easy stages. R~oosevelt's
actions have all along indicated a de.
sire to make his Office a political
rather than a national one. He is a
narrow partisan, who should lever
have been elevated to the position OF
trust he now holds.

SHOWS NEED OF SUPERVISION.
Record of Failed National Banks
Makes Potent Argument.

OF S,4S9 national banks organized
In 43 years, 447 have failed, and 42s
of these that failed owed their trouble
to defalcations, frauds or other viola
lions of law, including excessive loans
to directors.
Lack of proper government supervi
sion was largely to blame, five per
cent. Of our national banks suffering
through dishonest banking. That
means one national bank in every 20.
The government has allowed this to
go on year after year, although the
department of the comptroller Of the
currency in 1907 spent but $413, 1874,
while the tax on circulation paid the
government $2,806, O70.54.
Charles w. Morse is on trial in
New York for violation of banking
laws. Evidence shows that his Bank
of North America padded accounts,
made blind" loans, recorded fake de-
posits and had handed out almost two
millions of dollars to concerns owned
by Morse and his friends.
Letters In evidence show that the
comptroller of the currency had known
of this for a long time before the crash
came.
Did he close the bank? He merely
warned Morse to be more prudent"
In 43 years Of national banks the
United States government has gained
from them $50, $50, 1854. while depos-
itors have lost, by the failure of ono
out of every 20 banks, $47,911,583
The Morse case shows why.

Let Us Have the Truth.

Several newspapers, of which the
New York Evening Post is one, say
that they do not see how the presi'
dent can afford to ignore Mr.. Parker's
statement of old, reiterated now, that
800, 900 was got from the Standard
Oil Company for the Roosevelt cam
paign fund of 1904, and that more
was demanded but it was refused.
There was a letter, Mr.. Parker re.
peats, from President Roosevelt to
Secretary Cortelyou, then the chair.
man, ordering him to return the $780,.
900, but that it was not returned. The
Post thinks, as the president so
promptly took a hand IN the Standard
Oil questions raised In the cases of
two public men recently, that it is in
cumbent on him to explain this
Standard Oil episode also. AS this
is only a demand for publicity after
election" which is good Roosevelt
doctrine, why should not it apply? In
good truth the people are sore and
suspicious at this whole mass Of cor.
ruption, dating BACK from the insur.

soon tell it. If there is-well popular
resentment is at the point where 1t
will take silence as consent and go on
with it's belief. But this will not end
it. The truth will have to come out,
and sooner or later it will.

EAGER TO WORK
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
Is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task OF employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold Of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"a year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Mich. lady, my
stomach and nerves began to give me
much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times I had no appetite
whatever. The food / took did O
nourish me and / grew weaker than
ever.
Il lost interest in everything, and
wanted to be alone. I had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trife
would upset me and bring on a vio-

room was an effort and prescribed es-
ercise was out of the question.

Meeting of Geological Commission.

The statutory meeting of the State
Geological Commission was held here on
Wednesday.
DIR. Order laid before the commission
a letter from Enos A. Mills of the Unit
ed States foresI service, Washington, a
noted authority on and a student of for
est conditions and work in the United
States, intimating that he would proba-
bly, start on a Southern tour within the

JACKSON.
Will There Be a Deficit?

With the assistance of Deputy Auditor
thompson, Gov. NOEL is getting together
MS mass of information on the f~inancia.
condition of the state, and on it's prob
able condition during the remainder OF
TINS and next year. When completed
the result of the Governors investigation
Will be made public. Already ne has
found enough new information to war
rant the statement that he has changed
his mind about the probable size of the
deficit which is to come next fall, and he
has some doubt now that there will be a
deficit at all.
But about this years deficit there can
be no doubt, as there are outstanding
warrants now amounting to something
like $4,000. Whether it will grow as
large as at first estimated will depend
largely upon the promptness with which
the taxpayers make their payments, and
upon how soon the states cotton crop is
sold, and how much of it is sold within
the next few weeks.
If as much cotton had been sold this
season as had been disposed of up to
this time last year there would have been
no deficit now, but instead there would
have been $4,000 in the treasury. So
far only about $4,000 has been realized
from the state cotton products. Last
year there had been about 100000 re-
ceived from that source up to this time.
Gov. Noel thinks the state ought not
to hold its cotton, however small the
price available, while it has outstanding
warrants which ought to be paid, and he
may ask the prison trustees at their
next meeting to sell enough cotton to pay
off the outstanding Indebtedness. He
may also issue an address to the people
asking them to pay their taxes early, and
to the tax collectors requesting them to
use unusual diligence in making collec-
tons and remittances to the treasury.

Niles Makes Strong Charge.

ANlASS 44ohNo olAOhS ho1S
Hon. H. G. Niles, judge, convened the
regular November term of Federal Court
for the Jackson division of the South
erp district of Mississippi Monday morn
ing. Very little time was lost in the i'm.
paneling of a jury, composed of nineteen
men, including three negroes, to whom
Judge Niles addressed the usual statu.
tory charge, of about thirty minutes
duration.
The court laid special stress on the too
frequent reports that come to hand of the
debauchery accomplished by the men who
are so regardless of the laws of the state
and morality as to almost openly and
quite d~efiantly dispense mean whisky and
cocaine or other ~noyious and poisonous
compounds, which lead to murder, theft,
robbery and rapine. Until the public
conscience is awakened, through the me-
dunn of the law, which apparently has
more influence than the moral code, and
until grand juries and the other depart
ments of the legal machinery succeed in
the work of influencing and elevating
the standards of law respecting citizen
ship, there will always be trouble and
unrest. There are unprincipled men in
every walk of life, unfortunately, but the
grand jury, if true to their oaths and
their higher duty to their God and their
homes, might, by d~iscarding bias or
prejudice, start a curse of corrective
work that would work incalculable bene-
fit to their fellow-men and women.

Live Stock Association.

law
One of the most interesting and practi-
cal results of the meeting of the Missis-
sippi Live Stock Association, which met
here this week, was the unanimous adop-
ton of a resolution declaring it to be the
sense of the meeting that it were better
for county commissioners of agriculture
to devote their attention more particular
lv to the eradication of the cattle fever
tick. rather than to the boil weevil, since
the latter has come and the remedies
against it are in the hands of the people.
In order that the resolution may have
effect, it was decided to send a circular
statement, embodying the resolution, to
the several counties which have provided
themselves with a commissioner of agri-
culture, in accordance with the act of the
Legislature.
Another practical step taken in the
direction of the upbuilding of the stock
raising industry in Mississippi, for the
raising of mules and blooded horses, as
well as other animals, was the movement
to encourage the organization of county
live stock associations, to cooperate with
the State Association and rs adjuncts to
the successful working out of the task
before the live stock sanitary board.

A. & M. College Exhibit.

The exhibit of the A. and NJ. College
easily held the attention of the visitors
to the State fair, being the most COM
plete showing of the kind they had ever
witnessed. President j. G.. Hardy was on
hand to explain what had been done and
what is contemplated at the institution
of which all Mississippians are proud.
First, the buildings already erected,
those under construction and contem-
plated, were seen in bird's-eye fashion.
Then the exhibits from the textile school,
the looms in actual operation, and the
many splendid specimens of the skill and
handicraft of the pupils were displayed,
and the browning display was the live
stock exhibit. The idea of growing mules
for the South impressed the visitors most
favorably, as did the beautiful specimens
OF blooded stock from the college barns.
