in the Generous Offer Of the Owl

established reputation for square deal.

told the people that Rexall Remedies

edies on their own personal guarantee
that they would give entire satisfac-
ton or the medicine would not cost
the user single cent, they were be-
lieved.
Ever since this announcement the
Owl Drug Store has been crowded by
people buying Rexall Remedies, all of
which proves that the Owl Drug Store
has the confidence of the people and
that honesty is the best policy.
There is no "cure-all'' among the
Rexal1 Remedies-there are 300 diff
ferent and separate medicines; one
for each human i'll, and each unques-
tionably the best of its kind.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are par
ticularly recommended for the positive
cure of stomach irritation. indigestion

process which perfects and enhances

edy sells for 25c a package. Every
one suffering from stomach disorder
should try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets,
inasmuch as they cost nothing if they
do not satisfy.
The Owl Drug Ctore is certainly
fortunate in securing control of the
sale of these remedies, and we urge
everyone in need of medicine to in
vestigate and take advantage of their
frank and generous offer.

A POLITICAL DREAM.

A Jackson man has had a dream
maybe a revelation. 1t came in the
still watches of the night, and all
that-but soon after long confer
ence with Governor Noel.
According to this dreamer, the gov
ernor never intended to appoint Judge
Fletcher to a full term on the SUI
preme bench. On the contrary. the
place has been promised to Senator
A. j. McLaurin, who will accept the
place, and Judge Fletcher knew as
much when he was named for the I'M
expired term of Justice Calhoon.
But this is not all.
The dreamer dreamed much more,
and during the course of his protract-
ed political snooze saw the governor
hand commission to Hon. Charles
Scott, of Bolivar county, for McLau-
rims unexpired term in the United
States Senate-and the first man to
congratulate him was James X. Var
daman.
Only dream, of course. But it
is interesting. 1t emphasizes the
power of the governor to break into
political states and to wreck we'll
defined political ambitions.
And the arrangement wouldn't be
bad--yet we are glad that-well, that
it isn't-that's it.

brutes upon white women the climax
had been reached but the crime of
Golfers is infinitely more brutal and
debasing. 1t should not be allowed
to enter any southern home nor any
respectable home anywhere
To charge that the white women
of the South, by their conduct, are
in any way responsible and invite as
sault from the vicious negro brutes
who attack them, is as vile and devil
ish and despicable as anything can
be imagined to be. If Golfers Week
ly persists in making such charge,
and if those who made it will dare
come South they will be adjudged as
guilty of defiling the character of our
women as are the black brutes who
attack them and they will suffer the
same punishment. Let JnlS puDllcd-
ton be excluded from every Southern
home.
The above editorial expression is
reproduced from yesterdays edition OF
the Jackson News in order that we
may give it our most emphatic en-
dorsement.
Early last summer, when Golfers
gave publicity to an article intimat-
ing that a distinguished and beloved
citizen of Mississippi had negro blood
in his veins, this newspaper urged it's
readers to bar the malodorous New
York publication from their homes,
and we are glad to know that great
many of the best people of Hatties-
burg did so.

Attention has lately been called in
the French press to the menace to
public health from the consumption
of unhealthy oysters. The subject
is also attracting notice in Belgium,
where the Royal Society of Medicine
has taken the question up, and this
learned body has passed a resolution
that oyster beds ought to be subjected
to special inspection, that measures
should be taken to regulate the re-
tail sale of the fish, and that all oys-
tiers entering Belgium should undergo
a rigorous examination.

A HOLIDAY INNOVATION.

The Saturday Evening Post pub
fishes the following interesting and
valuable story:
"A travelling salesman had an only
son with whom he had been liberal in
the matter of spending money, and
rather thoughtless. The boy began de-
veloping extravagant habits. and had
no appreciation of the value of money.
So the father made it a rule that all
the spending money he got in future
must be earned. The boys mother
was made the employer, and regular
schedule of prices for definite chores
was drawn up-two cents basket for
splitting kindling, five cents an hour
for hoeing garden, five cents a hun
dred for collecting potato bugs.
This reformed the boy in one way,
for it made him ambitious. He got
out of bed early in the morning to
earn money. There was always a big
pile of kindling on hand, and he kept
an eye open for odd jobs of all kinds.
"But the reason he worked for
money was that he might buy more
or less useless things that he had
bought under the old arrangement. So
saving plan was added to the earn
ing plan.
The boy was permitted to spend
one-quarter of all the money he made
in his own way, without supervision.
Another quarter went into a small
home bank, to be deposited in a saw
ings account at interest. The remain
ing fifty per cent of his earnings was
kept back by his father. half to be
invested in books and half in tools
and toys.
Before anything was bought out of
this final fund, however, father and
! son had a conference and agreement
on articles to be purchased or books
selected. Thus the fund went chiefly
to the purchase of educational toys,
such as printing-press, scroll.saw,
a camera. No anticipation of pay
ments was permitted. nor any trans
fer of money from one fund to another
to hurry the consummatien of a pur-
chase. In that way the fact that there
was surplus on hand did not kill
the incentive to work for an object"
1t is the special business of our saw
ings department to take care of saw
ings and earnings of this nature and
while being cared for they will be
earning interest at the rate of per
cent per annum.
On making the first deposit of one
dollar we furnish you with a small
private bank to take home with you.
You could not select a Christmas
present for any member of the fam
lily that would be more useful and
more productive of happiness than
this. We shall be glad to explain
more fully If you will call.

from the facile pen of Editor Burgess
Dixon of the Greenwood Enterprise:
Baby, dear, listen here,

We are older than Noah's ark,
Why sit alone in the PAST
While other towns make their mark ?
There is no place like home,
Don't cast your vote in the dark.
