JACKSON, Miss, March "a clash
between the state executive board of
the Farmers union and j. H. Meyer,
one of its leading members, is immi-
nent, and may result in some rather
interesting consequences.
Mr.. Meyer, who is the president OF
the proposed Farmers union bank, to
be established in this city as soon
as 100000 of the 100000 stock is
paid in, who has been at the head of
the organizations warehouse plans,
and who practically owned the Union
Advocate up to the time it was sold
to the union Friday, has also been
recently publishing price list of al
most everything in hardware, grocer
les, dry goods, ETC., in competition
with the state business agency of the
union, making wholesale prices in re-
tail quantities to members.
The executive board objected to this
competition, and complained that
Meyer was leading the members to
believe the published list was the
official price list of the business
agency. AS a matter of fact, Meyer
had boldly admitted in his publication
that it was an opposition price list,
and intimated that the business agency
was doing nothing In other refer
ences through the publication it has
been apparent for some time that
Meyer has not held the business
agent, Capt. J. L. Collins, in high es-
teen as a business man.
But the problem of the executive
board is how to stop Meyer and his
price list. They think he has no
right to continue it. He thinks he
has. The executive board finished it's
special meeting last night and the
members left for their homes. Just
what steps will be taken by their at
torneys in the matter remains to be
seen, but there are hints that some
thing is likely to drop at any moment.
1t is a mysterious sort of situa-
ton such as keeps the interested
parties holding their breath in ex-
pectancy.

Other South Mississippi Paper
CUTOVER LANDS.

The suggestion made in these col
umns recently that the cutover pine
lands Of South Mississippi should be
put into cultivation before they are
. rendered less valuable by a growth
of scrub oak has been we'll received
by the land owners of this section.
Some Of the lands in this part of
the state, denuded of pine timber less
than five years ago, are already COW
cred with oak saplings and underbrush
81 IL .' 49,. -s---y.-- - '>-----
and the labor required to put them IN
cultivation would cost all the way
from $40 to s25 anacre.
OF course homeseekers are not go'-s
to buy lands which would re"'1fe sueh
an -penditure to put TO cui'i'aVion'
when tnNy San purchase lands minus
the scrub oaks for much less than it
would cost to clear away the under
growth.
And landowners Who allow their
cutover property to grow a crop OF
scrub oaks are alone at fault when
they permit their property to become
practically worthless.
AS The News has urged before, it
is time for the landowners Of this
section to get together. They should
organize an immigration bureau, in
terest experienced real estate and pro-
motion men and sell at least portion
of their holdings to thrifty farmers
who will settle theron, and demon
strate the capabilities of this section
in an agricultural way.
The large holders of cutover lands
can well afford to sell for few dol
lars an acre half of their holdings. il
at the same time they can double or
treble the value of the remainder.
Secretary Bixler of the Hattiesbure
Commercial club has taken hold oil
this matter in the right spirit, and

the property-owners of the Hattiesbure
district will enhance their own in.

once set in this direction, will mean
the salvation of South Mississippi
We all know that something must take
the place of our timber resources,
which time will eventually exhaust
and agriculture is the only reasona-

The sooner we get this movement
in motion, the sooner will we taste
the fruits of our foresight and energy

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

II people We're born right and after
wards lived right. there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When a person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palhate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature TO resist disease. Med
fcines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body To right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
tcine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instincuvely he vets his
finger in his mouth, then blows on il
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very well. But il makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indiges ton. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet If
palliative is at hand the pains of indi-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes OF
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
70 perform is function properly. Peru
ma will increase tho flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. It viii increase the
relish of food, the appetite.
Tt is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are so many people who either viii not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
a tremendous amount of good can be
done bv the wise use of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function of dises-
ton very iazfIy. Such stomach allows
the food to remain uudigested for some
time after it is swallowed. This leads
TO fermentation Of the food. Sour stom-
sch is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood Is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt to produce rheum-
Atism.
1t is not claimed that Peruna viii cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
atism but correct living. But it Is
claimed that Peruna viii assist a badly
abused stomach to perform its work.
The Aberdeen weekly. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1878-1933, 1909-03-12

If person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperats
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself OF
the poison, and every thing would bs
right. But as said before there are
multitude of people who viii not or can
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is a boon. A dose
before meals Will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton Of the food, brings about normal
digestion. and all the train Of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruns Is helpful TO
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers Of Nature TO bring about cure.
The whip does not increase the power
Of the horse 10 pull a load, but jude
ciou-ly used il stimulates the horse 10
use his powers at the right time. with
out which he could not have pulled the
load
This illustrates the effect or Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
TEN. Taken at the right time, IL calls
forth the powers OF the human system
to meet the en- roaehments OF disease,
and thus cuts short, II not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt TO substi-
tute medicine i'm the place OF right liv-
ing. In the end such an attempt viii
prove n disaster. Butnu occasional use
Of the right medicine at the right time
is a godsend, and no reasonable person
Will undertake TO deny it.
Those who know how 10 use Peruna
find it of untold value. BY and by the
world Will get wise enough So that
through correct living no medicine at
all will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, while
the world is approaching that perfec-
ton in which all medicine viii be elm
mated, Peruna IS Il handy remedy to
have in the house.
Slight arrangements of the stomach /;
slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure 90 lead 20
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use Of Peruna.
Wouldn't you like 20 read q few nm
solicited testimonials from people W no
have used Peruna, and " no stand ready

ceruiug t. II so, address the PerunA

That there is an unaccountable
repugnance on the part of many
people to having anything to do
with the execution of the law will
! hardly be denied. Many good men
sit down fold their hands and leave
the law 10 execute itself. OF course
they say that they expect the police
and other executive officers to en-
force the law. yet after all, the
courts and officers Of the law are
efficient only SO far as they have
cordial, active and steady support
of the people When public nui-
sances become too marked all will
+ join hands to get new and more
stringent laws passed and many
will take a hand in having them
enforced until the constant flood
of wickedness shall have been
checked But when the violations
are less open and unblushing there
is a disposition on the part of many
to leave the evil dOer unpunished. .
Why is this? Simply because no
man is willing to incur the odium
and spend the time, strength and
money to secure the execution of
the law. | am sure that no town
or city in Mississippi, or IN the
South, can boast of IA more faith
ful set of officers than we have,
They are more than willing do
their whole duty-they are anx-
ious to enforce the law. Were we,
as citizens. TO unite in entering
complaints when we know that the
good laws of our beloved town or
state are being violated, | am sure
that our state and municipal Off
GERS would see to it that justice was
meted out to the violators
I wish to say just here that | am
glad to learn that our honorable
mayor has called a meeting of the
citizens Of Tupelo for next Tuesday
evening at eight O'Clock at the
courthouse for the purpose of
organizing a Law Enforcement
I League" We shall not expect to
see at that meeeting the keepers of
blind tigers and gam mbling dens,
/ their abettors or advocates, yet we
want it understood that all citizens
Of Tupelo are cordially invited and
most earnestly requested to be
/ present. Respectfully,
Al PRESTON.
The above from the Tupelo Jour
nal expresses go well what is felt bv
every good citizen of every town
that we reproduce it in the columns
of the Weekly. What the writer
claims for Tupelo is true of Aber-
deem, and what TupeIo is doing to
hold up the hands of her officers
iH the enhancement OF the law would
not be out Of place for Aberdeen
/ The organization Of law enforce
ment leagues in every town, under
the State wide plan can not be con-
| demned as unnecessary, nor i'm
potent for the preservation Of bet
ter order everywhere. The Weekly
! does not know whether Aberdeen
means to join forces with the
movement elsewhere or not. Il
does know however that lawless-
/ ness exists here as it doee in al
other towns of its size and that i
/ is reprugnant to the great majorit!
of our citizens. 1t further know
that the local authorities are dill
gent and vigilant in hunting j
down and believes that an organ
lied public sentiment, in the form o
a league, would aid them in the bet
ter discharge of their duties.

Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism
of the muscles of the neck. 1t is usu-
ally confined TO one side, or to the
back of the neck and one side. While
it is often quite painful, quick relief
may be had by applying Chamber
lain's Liniment. Not one case of rheu-
matism in ten requires internal treat
ment. When there is no fever and
no swelling as in muscular and chron-
ic rheumatism, Chamberlain's Lini-
ment will accomplish more than any
