EASY TO CURE CATARRH
lust Breathe in HyOmei, The Dry Air
That Kills The Germs.

You can do exactly what G. A.
Sterers did by using Hyomei.
Read this:
"Aftea having suffered from
chronic catarrh for years, for
which | tried various remedies
without success, | became al
most discouraged. After reading
about Hyomei, | decided to make
one more effort to rid myself of
the dread disease, and to my
great delight | found the use of
two bottles of the Inhalent suf-
ficient to produce a complete
cure. | now take pleasure in re-
commencing this remedy t. all
sufferers from catarrh &c. A.
Sterers, Crown City. Ohio
We don't simply say Hyomei
will cure catarrh, but we say
that Jno. P. Mayo guaran-
tees it to cure catarrah. or none Y
back, He does md$e he guaran-
tees it to cure asthma. bronchitis,
hao fever, coughs and colds. A
complete Hyomei outfit, includ-
ing INHALER, costs only 81. 90, and
extaa bottles, if you afterwards
need one. will cost dut 80 cents.
Hyomei is p easant dry air
treatment. You just breathe it
in, and as it passes over the in
famed membrane. it kills the
germs of catarrh, and allays all
inflammation.

THE A. & M. TRUSTEES
May Not Hold Meeting for Month Summer
Normal Now in Progress at StarMiIle
Not to Be Disturbed.

The meeting of the board IF
trustees of the Starkville A. &
NJ. College for the purpose of
further considering and acting
upon the testimony recently tax
en- in the investig alton of Prof.
Hardy and other members of the
faculty, will probably not be held
until the latter part of July.
Persons interested in the work
of the summer normal now in
session there, and which will re-
main in session four weeks from
June 18th, when it began, have
requested that no meeting of the
b ard be held while the normal
is in session. They say that the
normal is now getting along nice
ly, and prefer that nothing occur
that might disturb the work now
in progress.
Stenographer HALEY, who took
the Starkville testimony, is now
engaged in the work of trans
cribing his notes, which work
will be completed and a copy sent
to each member of the board of
trustees by July 1st. They have
asked that they be given a week
in which to study the testimony,
before the calling of the next
meeting, when the findings of
the committee will be decided
upon. This report can hardly be
expected before the latter part
of July.
Besides the work of investiga-
ton referred to, the board will
have before it several questions
of policy for the management.
Among other things there is a
proposition to cultivate less land
and keep less blooded stock for
breeding purposes. = Jackson

HAS GROWN UNTIL BUT FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
IT'S MAGNITUDE.

Starting a few years ago with
limited capitol and a small stock
the Columbus Marble Works has
grown from infancy to mature
manhood and ranks to day with
any similar enterprise in the
land. This growth has not been
due to exhorbitant prices but to
the untireing efforts OF the pro-
pretors. Mess Stinson and Nc
Gahey as is evidenced by the fact
that they have submitted bids
for the erection of twelve Con-
federate Monuments in the State
and have been awarded contracts
for the erection Of eleven of them
against many competitors. The
average price of these monu-
ments has been about three thou
sand dollars. They have just Sc
cured a contract for Confederate
monuments at Lexington and
GTeenville, the former to cost
thirty five hundred dollars and
the latter four thousand dollars.
They have recently installed
one of the finest pieces of ma
chinery money can buy, in the
way of an electric drill and polls
her which makes theirp plant mod
ern in every respect; all the work
being now done by machin cry
run by electricity.
They buy their rough stone in
car load lots and consequently
get low rate of freight. To the
people of this section the freight
on the manufactured product is
saved which guarantees a lower
price than can be male by for
eign concerns and the wookman-
ship is not to be surpassed any
where.

pleasure their progress rnd hopes
for still greater things for them.

ASK SPECIAL
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Farmers Union Desire 10 Propose Law to
Place Limit on Cotton Acreage

Governor Noel has been infom-
ally notified that the Farmers
Union will present for his con-
sideration a petition asking that
a special legislative session be
convened during the current
year to enact legislation for the
regulation of cotton acreage.
A committee called on the
governor and informed him that
petition of this character would
doubtless follcw the meeting of
county presidents to be held
in this city on July 9Th.
From officials of the Farmers
U9ia Il it is learned that similar
n oFements are under way in all
cotton growing states.
By what method the organi-
zation hopes to accomplish its
purpose in a legal manner has
not been fully revealed. Cover
ner Noel declines to discuss the
matter, as it was presented to
him informally, and will await
the filing of the petition before
expressing an opinion of any
kind on the subject.
The gist of the matter is that
the Farmers Union leaders be-
lieve that it is possible to limit
by statute the cotton acreage in
each southern state.
The plan of the union, as pro-
posed by President Hightower,
is to get through law imposing
a privilege tax upon those farm
ers, so as to encourage the divers
ification of crops.
Thcse who have considered
the matter have no doubt of the
legality of law taxing farmers,
but there appears to be grave
doubt as to whether a law taxing
only one class of farmers would
stand the rigid test of the courts
and escape being branded as
as class legislation = Jackson

TO TEST THE LIQUOR LAW.
Uisssburg Dealer viii Purchase License

sale Business After January /.

sale Business After January |.
An interesting test case of the
state law against The sale of liq-
uors, as passed by the legislature
last winter, is to be made in
Vicksburg, according to the rres-
ent plan. as soon as the law goes
into effect onSanuary /.
One dealer whose license will
expire about the first of Decem-
Der will renew his license for a
wholesale business, which costs
much less than retail license,
and will attempt to continue
business after the first of Janu-
airy. According to the plan he
will be arrested, placed in Jail
and released under habeas corpus
proceedings, when an interest
ing phase of the law will go be-
fore the supreme court for de-
cision.
Section z of the new law says,
''On and after the date when this
act goes into effect all licenses
and privileges tosell Intoxicating
liquors issued by the state of
Mississippi or any municipality
or levee board thereof shall cease
and be void And that all such
license hereafter issued shall not
be issued or valid for a period
beyond the 31st day Of Decem-
Der, A. D., 1905"
In response to an inquiry from
Warren county some time ago
Attorney General File cher issued
an opinion to the effect that those
dealers who held license which
expired during the year would
have to obtain or pay for license
for an entire year from the date
of the expiration of the old IL
cense, although the new law will
not permit the sale of liquor un-
der such license after Dec. 81.
Since that time licenses have
been ISSUED for the entire year.
The dealer in question will
hold that inasmuch as his license
is granted under state law for an
entire year, it amounts to a con-
tract between himself and the
state, which the state has not
the right to revoke.
During the legislative session
there was a good deal of discuss
ION on this very point. Many
members held that during the
year those dealers who happened
to have begun business late in
the year ought to have the privi-
lege of renewing their licenses
for the unexpired portion of the
year on a pro rata basis, placing
them on an equal footing with
other dealers who began business
earlier in the year, but the terms
of a compromise reached between
the prohibition and local option
members seems to have left those
who were unfortunate enough to
have commenced business late
with no alternative but to pay
for full years license, notwith-
standing they are not to be per-
mitted to use it all.
