The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1908-08-20

A party here last week had a
COW with a swelling under the
stomach that looked very much
like Charlton. DR.. Mills, Yeti
nary Surgeon of jackson, said
that the animals blood was in
bad condition and prescribed a
drench which effectually cured
her. Many so called cases of
Charlton have been simply bad
blood and easily cured with pro-
per treatment. Charlton can be
prevented by vaccination. Gen
uine Charlton cannot be cured.
The protracted meeting will
begin at the Methodist church
next Sunday morning and con-

Every night this week at IL
o'clock promptly will be a praise
and song service, to which the
public are cordially invited and
urged to attend all these meet
ings from the first to the last.
Due notice will be given when
the day services will be held.
]. B. Burns, of Burns, Smith
county, writes the Clarion-Ledger
that a report has been circulated
to the effect that the negro Bill
Jones, alias Bill Barber, who shot
Rufus Burns and himself on the
18th of last March, has been
captured, but that is not true,
and the would-be murderer is
still at large. Rewards amount
ing to $500 have been offered for
the arrest of the negro, $3.50 by
Mr.. Burns, and another $3.50 by
the governor of the state. The
attempt to assassinate the Burns
brothers was a cowardly affair
and he is badly wanted in Smith
county. He is described as fol-

"primaryY Question.

Editor of The Times-Dlspatch:
Sr,-Since Judge r. II. w. Duke de.
clared at the last State committee
meeting his opposition to any kind OF
primary, I see much said through your
paper on the subject.
Is 1t not UP to the people them
selves to reflect their wishes in this
matter when they elect delegates tic
the Roanoke convention, both as to
whether they desire a continuance OF
the primary plan or instructed dele
gates to Denver in July?
1t Is further argued by many that
the expense of State primary, and
even of local primaries. works a hard
ship In that poor. man, however
worthy and competent he may be, is
precluded from entering on account Of
his inability to put UP the neces-
sary fee, especially in a general state
primary. and the people might, through
their delegates to Roanoke on June
18th express their views on the con-
tnuance Of primaries conditioned on
the state paying the cost of same
thereby giving the rich man and the
poor an equal footing in his contest
and asnirations for Office. Let the
people themselves say what they want.

furnished BY the Copey Society's loan
duty on works OF art.
The exhibition consists OF 154 paint
ings representing the French School
Of 1890, the insurance valuation Of
which IL about s1.a0O0oo For the most
part they have come from private coll
lections, and the owners have lent them
for the benefit and education OF the
public. With very few exceptions du-
ties have been paid on all these paint
ngs in spite of the fact that the public
is a distinct gamer by their importa-
ton, as this exhibition proves.
Under our present tariff this col
lection of masterpieces, whose influ-
cnce for good taste and for better
knowledge Of art is unreasonable,
could not be brought into this country
to-day unless 1t paid a duty Of S250o00.
For three weeks the people OF Bos-
ton aud the outlying cities and towns
VIII have an opportunity OF enjoying
and studying this valuable collection
of pictures, which, aside from its in
trinsic beauty, represents one OF the
most important eras in the history of
modern art. This exhibition very we'll
illustrates the fallacy of the argument
that works OF art are a luxury, that
they are owned by the rich for their
own exclusive enjoyment, and that
therefore they should be dutiable.
As matter OF fact, these paintings
arc held in trust for the public by their
owners, and instead of maintaining a
barrier, such as the present duty GER
tainly does, the government should Of

ducemcnt to those who are able to DO
so to bring into tho United States as
many beautiful works of art as they
can.
1t is significant that the present i'm

United States, which Is being conduct
ed by the American Free Art League,
should have had its origin in the Cop
ley Society, which, through the eXpe-

GOOD ROADS AND STATE PAPERS

The Culpeper Enterprise and the
Claremont Herald both earnestly urge
better roads for Virginia. The Clare
mont Herald says that in the counties
of Surry, Prince George, Charles City
and Isle of Wight the roads are worse
than at any time within the last four
years. The Culpeper Enterprise follows
the very useful course of printing FOR
the benefit of its subscribers the United
states government report on how to
make and maintain model earth road.
The widest publicity should be given
this sort of information, and the Stare
papers could do nothing better thai
spread in their communities the knowI
edge of earth road building. Even
