The Most Common Cause of SUFFERING.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering.
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most com
mon of all ills, and it is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain Liniment will afford re-
lief, and make rest and sleep possible.
In many cases the relief from pain,
which is at first temporary, has be-
come permanent, while in old people
subject to chronic rheumatism, often
brought on by dampness or changes in
the weather, a permanent cure cannot
be expected; the relief from pain
which this liniment affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 25 and

STATE CASH BOX
IS ALMOST EMPTY
TREASURER EDWARDS HAD LESS
THAN TWO DOLLARS LAST
SATURDAY..
The State Depositores However Carry
More Money BY 100000 Than
They Did Year Ago.

JACKSON. Miss, May 10.-There
was $l.97 in cash on hand in the state
treasury at the close of businesses
urday and in the state repositories
there was $570,62S.9O. making total
of $570, 630.S7. At the close OBJ bus
mess on May S, 1908, there was $464,-
09641, the difference being $1O6,532.-
40.
During the next several months
there will be a general decrease in the
amount of money on hand until the
rock bottom is reached, as it uu-
doubtedly will be, according to the
opinion of those in close touch with
the financial affairs of the state, about
the noodle of November, if not soon
e..
There is comparatively little money
to come in during the summer months
except that received from the collec-
ton of privilege taxes, to be made this
month and reported early in June,
| amounting to something more than
100000. Other privilege taxes during
the year will reach about S250,000. In
the meantime the states pay roll has
to be met the first of each month,
besides the numerous other items OF
governmental expenses

THE CONVICTION OF THE COOP
ERS

The conviction of the Coopers OF
murder in the second degree with
sentence of twenty years in the state
penitentiary, we believe, came as
startling surprise to the country, and
especially go after the acquittal OF
Sharp, and the announcement OF the
jury that they were hopelessly dlvid-
ed as to the COOpers."
The .acquittal of Sharp seems to
have broken down the contention of
the state as to any plot to assassi-
nate the senator.
We believe that on that fateful
afternoon that if either of the parties
to this sad and awful tragedy had not
put the ever-ready revolver in their
pockets the killing would have been
averted.
If Senator Carmack had killed his
assailants instead of being killed We
would have held him justifiable, be-
cause he no doubt believed that they
crossed the street with the intention
of killing him, and so believing he
felt that his only safety was in shoot
ing first. That he shot first it seems
to us is proven in the face of the
fact that young Cooper was wounded,
and that two chambers of Carmack's
revolver were discharged. Quick, i'm
pulsive and hot-blooded, it was like
Carmack to have defended himself
We believe that when Duncan
Cooper saw Senator Carmack the
thought occurred to him that his re-
latiOns with him were such that he
could have a friendly talk with him
and end their disagreements, but I'M
fortunately his mission was misun-
derstood, and it was taken as an
overt act, and ended in the great ca
lamity that followed.
Robin Cooper, seeing Senator Car
mack drawing his revolver on his
father, rushed to his rescue, was him
self wounded, and in turn fired upon
and killed his assailant.
1t was a great calamity. The south
is deprived of the services of one
of her most brilliant and dashing ora
tors, young man of brilliant expec-
tations is ruined and an old man,
whose hair is frosted over with the
weight of years, is brought in sorrow
to the very verge of the grave, and
two families are in mourning and

A WORTHY TRIBUTE TO A WOR
THY MAN

Mr.. Waldo Martin of Martin was
in Ocala yesterday, looking the very
picture of health. He is making a
great success of farming and a gen
tleman who was visiting him a short
time ago says he is taking life easier
and extracting more comfort from 1t
than most anyone he knows. He has
fine horses, fine cows, fine sheep, fine
lands and foodstuffs in abundance
Everything good that grows in the
garden and in the field finds its way
to his table, besides the products
from a we'll arranged dairy. You
cannot visit Waldo Martins farm, he
says, and say that life is not worth
living. Back to the FARM" will be
the cry some of these days, and when
that day comes we will lead happier
lives.-Ocala Banner.
We rejoice to know of our friend,
Waldo's, success, tor he deserves it
He has proven by his success what
can be done yet on the farm. He is
from one of the most prominent fam,
lilies of Ocala, his father being Colonel
John NJ. Martin, of that place, who
was a colonel in the Confederate ar
my, and later a member of the Con-
federate congress.
Waldo, his youngest son, is splen-
did character, and a young man of I'M
doubted ability. He graduated in the
law school of the University of Vir-
ginia with distinction, and practiced
law in Ocala and at Fort Myers for
a short time. But, Notwithstanding
his strong intellect and his talent as
a speaker, he failed to get the recog-
milton which he richly deserved. He
could not bring himself to believe
that brass was worth more than
brains. Seeing men all around him
with less ability meeting with more
success than he was, he gave up the
practice and took charge of the ia
nous sugar hammock plantation,
where he has shown an executive
ability of a high order, combining a
Chesterfieldian politeness with ster
ling honesty he ranks as a peer to
any man in Mrion county. We would
rather occupy his place than the one
held by General Gilchrist. The life
of Waldo Martin should inspire town.
raised boys and men to look to the
country and plantations as the only
field where one can find mental ease
and comfort, which is the surest pro-
mOter of honesty, charity and happi-
ness. We would rather have a plan
tation where we could make a little
more than a living than to be king of
any country. We have not OW-lived
ambition, but already we have discov.
cred that its tree bears more bitter
fruit than sweet. The first aim of life
should be happiness, and we hold that
no sphere in life is so conducive to
happiness as the country home which
is being so well exemplified by Waldo
Martin.-BartOw Record.

A SHIP CANAL ACROSS FLORIDA
A dispatch from Savannah. under
date of March II, says:

A dispatch from Savannah under
date of March II, says:
To survey an inland waterways
route and report upon its cost from
Beaufort, n. c., to Key West and to
survey a route for a ship canal across
the northern end of the Florida pen
insular. a special board of engineers
has been appointed and will include
Colonel Dan c. Kingman, Savannah ;
Capt Adams, Charleston, S. c.; Capt.
Spaulding, Jacksonville, and Capt
Brown, Washington, all United States
engineers. Appropriation for the
work of survey was recently made by
congress.
We believe that these engineers
will find that the best route for this
canal is up the St Johns and Okla
waha rivers to Silver Springs. via
Ocala, Blue Springs and the WithIa-
coochee river to the gulf, utilizing at
the same time the waters of Orange
Lake, Lake LochloOsa and Lake New
nan.

The production of creosote in this
country will, in all probability, con.
tinue to be far less than the consump-
ton. The wood preservation indus
try has been in it's infancy only, and
enormous demands may be expected
in the future. The coke, and cOnse-
quently the coal tar industries, have
until recently been at their best, but
even at their best the supply of by
products has run short. On this ac-
count, we should turn to other sourc-
es to supply the increasing demands
for creosote preservatives.

will read carefully DIR. Eliot's article

The commission has done so much for

might be the beginning of big things

the public interests and let them do
that and nothing else. That is sure
to become the next step in municipal
government.

A SINNERS SERMON"

verify | say unto thee, inasmucn
as thou hast done it unto one OF the
least of these my brethren. thou has'
done it unto me"
In the humble opinion OF an out
slider. one who, by all the rules OF the
game, is outside the pale Of salvation
and who is supposed to have nothing
in common with religion or Christian
ity. the beautiful words composing the
text at the beginning of this ser
mon" are among the sweetest and
fullest of self-abnegation and love for
His brothers of any in the Book.
Think of it-"one of the least OF
these"
MANY men, many women, who new
er for a moment accused themselves
of being Christians, but who have Wis
tied the sick and afflicted; clothed the
naked: fed the hungry; and who Rave
at all times been charitably inclined
toward those who, by reason OF adj
verse circumstances or their own
Iapses, have fallen in the battle OF
life, will, l believe, if there is any
truth in the Bible, experience, at the
last day. that calm radiance of won
der and joy that lighted the pale face
of Artaban like the first ray of dawn
on a snowy mountain peak" His
journey was ended. His treasures
were accepted. "The other wise man
had found the King" Why? Because
he had dome it unto one of the least
of these"
| can imagine the feeling Of self
glorifcation and self-satisfaction of
the man to whom was said: "Well
done. thou good and faithful servant, y
because he had worked hard and
made the most Of the talents the
Lord had given him, and he had an
object in view all through his toilings
and laborings. He knew he would be
rewarded.
But those of whom l am speaking
never expected any reward.
When Mr.. - denied himself a
long-expected pleasure trip in order
to come to the financial assistance of
a fallen brother, he never even ex-
pected a reward, much less did he ex-
pect to hear Him say. thou has done
it unto me-"
The lesson l draw from the text is
that no matter the station or rank of
a man, no matter whether he be
white or black, brown or yellow, the
mere fact that he suffers-he is in
need-shOuld be the call to duty.
When Artaban had stood in the
doorway and told the only lie that
ever passed his lips and drove Her
DDS soldiers away, thus saving the
life of the babe Of a despised Jewish
woman by bribing the captain of the
guard with one of his jewels he was
saving for his Lord, he cried out in
of spirit. But he was event
ually rewarded, and do you not be-
lieve, my readers, that he was glad
he had done what he had, even then,
when the Jewish woman, weeping for
joy, said to him:
Because thou hast saved the life
of my little one, may the Lord bless
thee and keep thee; the Lord make
His face to shine upon thee and be
gracious unto thee; the Lord lift up
his countenance upon thee and give
thee peace"
This world would be a glorious
place to live in if we could bring this
text home to us: Verify l say unto
thee, inasmuch as thou hast done it
unto one of the least of these nv
brethren, thou hast done it unto me-"
