Receiver of Gulf Compress Co.

Judge Mccall, of the United
States district court at Memphis,
has appointed c. c. Hanson as re-
ceiver for the Gulf Compress Com
pany, which has gone into bank
ruptcy. The main trouble that
brought about this situation was its
violation of law. Many excuses are
advanced, chief of which is the
custer proceedings instituted and
prosecuted to a finality in the Mis-
sissippi courts. by which the Gulf
Compress Company was barred
from doing business in this State on
the ground Of strangling out compe-
tition wherever it appeared, if able
to do 50.
The creditors represent firms in
New Jersey, New Yo.k. Georgia
and Tennessee. The company is

many another Of the Southern cap

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as
the digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is
acted upon in such a way as to pro-
duce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body and
thereby makes Us strong, healthy and
robust, and it is the weakening of
these digestive juices that destroys
health. 1t is our own fault if we de-
stroy our own health and yet ii is so
easy for any one to put the stomach
out of order. When you need To take

As soldier and citizen alike, Gen.
Lee was of full and noble stature.
Among the great captains of the
gray hosts, his genius, daring and
skill gave him high and conspicous
place, while in the rebuilding of
the South, during the period which
tried mems souls to the uttermost
and called forth the highest quail
ties of civic leadership, his admir-
able qualities of heart and head
were no less useful. The fOrtitude
with which the great leaders Of the
Confederacy accepted the stern ar
bitrament Of the sword and their
blameless conduct and magnificent
example during the dark days that
followed the surrender deserves
place in history as surely as their
immortal achievements upon the
battlefield Magnificent in battle,
the illustrious Southern leaders
were sublime in defeat.
As q soldier. Gen. Lees place in
history is secure. To military
genius in high degree he added the
qualities of absolute fearlessness,
calm poise, quick aud unerring
judgment and the splendid train
ing received at West Point. Born
of a distinguished South Carolina
family in 1888, he entered the ma
tional military academy in 1880,
graduating four years later as an
artillery officer. His first expert
ence in actual warfare was gained
in the frontier skirmishes with the
Indians. In the secession of his
native State he resigned his com
mission of the Federal army and
rendered his sword to South Caro-
lima. As aide to Gen. Beauregard
he was one of the officers sent to de
mand the surrender Of Fort Sump.

A. the first session Of the six

close, Senator LaFollette, Repupli-

single handed fIibuster against a
majority OF his party colleagues,
against the passage Of the compro-
mise emergency currency bill, which
had been agreed upon by a confer
ence committee of the two houses.
The Democratic minority declined
to take any stock in the movement,
simply placing themselves on re-
cord as opposed to the measure and
voting against it upon final passage.
Tie Wisconsin Senator had under
stood that Senators Stone of Mis-
sour, Davis Of Arkansas and Gore
Of Oklahoma would 60 to his rescue,
but this support was not material

eighteen hours continuously and
scoring the senate record for the
longest speech in the history Of that
body, he gave up the fight and the
bill was passed, becoming a law by
the President signature a few
minutes later.
