MARVELLOUS RESULTS.

This is to certify that my daughter,
Fearle, had very severe attack of
rheumatism. She could not walk
step, and had to be carried in a chair
from room to room. Some one rec
commended NJ. w. Hyde's rheumatism
medicine to me, and I purchased a
fifty cent bottle, and before she had
taken half bottle she was back in
school. She has never felt any trace
of it since. l take pleasure in recon.
mending this medicine to anyone suf-
fering with rheumatism. Respectfully

BANNER OF GANDSI
IS STILL WAVING
FERRED.
Census Shows Population of SOL, When
Two Less Would Have Compelled
Complete Surrender to the Larger
Municipality.

JACKSON, Miss, April G.-"The
banner of Gandsi still waves" de-
clared Chief Justice Whitfield, of the
Mississippi supreme court yesterday,
in reversing the case in which the
lower court had sanctioned the action
of the town of Seminary in extending
its municipal lines so as to include
the village of Gandsi, which, being
located on the line of the Gulf & Ship
Island railroad and being at the time
of its creation without name, select
ed one thus, &c. & S. l."
A few years ago Jackson extended
its corporate limits so as to take in
the suburb of Duttoville, somewhat
against the will of the suburb at the
time, but perfectly satisfactory now.
1t raised the question, however, Of
the right of one town to swallow an
other, and at the succeeding session
of the legislature the code section on
that subject was so amended, it was
thought, as to make the swallowing
easier
Taking advantage of this amend
ment, the town of Seminary reached
out and got the village of Gandsi over
the protest of the latter the corpo-
rate limits being within one mile of
each other, and Seminary having ex-
actly the minimum population, show
ing sol, whereas the statute requires
cover 800"
The village protested, but the town
replied that it had no kick coming,
and besides, that it had no right Of
appeal, The village replied that if
it had no appeal coming, the town had
no right to take it in in the first
place. It did appeal, however, and
won.
The section under which Seminary
acted is 1912, the last clause of which
reads:
"All municipalities that have been
chartered by proclamation of the gov.
ernor since January 1, 1900, whose
nearest boundary line was within one
mile of any corporate line of an eX-
listing city or town of over five hun
dred inhabitants, shall be abolished
when the said existing city or town
shall extend their limits to take in
said territory, and when so taken in,
all LEGAL debts and liabilities shall be
assumed by the city or town ana they
shall be legally responsible for same,
as if they had been contracted by ;hc
said city or twon."
The court calls attention TO the fact
that the legislature only provided !
here for the abolshing OF the village
when the limits Of the town had been

with much smaller population than
they were entitled, and tn estate as
a whole being unjustly dealt with in
the reports.
In line with the general policy of
most of the administration leaders,
and of the white people of the South
generally, it is expected that this mat
ter will be at once taken up in a
serious and vigorous effort to have
competent white men appointed as
enumerators, even though it should
become necessary to have democrats
do the work.

Daily News Special.
JACKSON, April 5.-The report that
a half dozen or more leading Missis
sippi republican negroes are now in
Washington comforting with President
Taft in regard to the distribution of
federal patronage in this state during
the latter's administration, and the
suggestion that their visit may have
to do with applications for positions
as federal census enumerators, which
positions are to be filled before the
end of the year calls to mind the
great storm of protest which went up
from many parts of the state nine
years ago on the wholly incompetent
manner in which the enumerations
were made.
In taking the twelfth census the
work in this state was done almost
wholly by negroes, some of whose
work was so badly done as to not
only require that it be done all over
again, but one or two of the enumer-
ators were landed in Jail for fraudu-
lent reporting.
At the time the report of this cen
sus was published it was so manifest |
ly erroneous, so far as the figures for |
Mississippi was concerned, that
number of the leading men of the
state declared that hereafter no ne
groes would be employed in such
work if it could be prevented.
In only a few of the districts was
the work performed even approximate
