Gus OFFER THAT GOES WITH

The number OF diseases peculiar TO

tarrh in her system.

satisfaction, or does Ia substan,iate
our claims With this understanding,
no woman should hesitate to believe
our honesty Of purpose, or hesitate to
put our claims to test.
There is only one way TO overcome
catarrh. That way Is through the
blood. You may use all the snuffs,
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more than temporary
relief at best. Catarrh IN general IL
a diseased condition of the system
that shows locally most frequently in
discharges from mucous membranes.
Local treatment should be assisted by
internal treatment for the general dis.
| eased condition If complete cure is
to be reached. That internal treat.
ment should be scientifically devised

VERDICT FOR R. R.
in DAMAGE SUIT

The case of Mrs. Eunie Hammock
ct al. VS.. the Mississippi Central rail-
road company in the circuit court, was
given to the jury this morning. The
suit was filed to recover $1,000 dam
ages against the railroad, because of
mental and physical pain and personal
suffering undergone and received, be-
cause she, the plaintiff, with her
daughter and little son had to walk
three-fourths of a mile along the
track to Lucas, Miss, a station for
which she had bought tickets, but
had been carried beyond, before the
plaintiff had noticed the fact. The
case went to the jury on the question
Of fact as to whether or not the con-
ductor called the station Lucas, OF
called it distinctly enough to be I'M
derstood by the passengers.
The jury rendered verdict for the
defendant. General Attorney H. S.
Buescher tried the case for railroad
company.

4 COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

In advocating a commission form Of
city government the News does not In
any way question the honesty and ca
pacity of those who are charged will
administering the city affairs at the
present time. We think that they will
do as well as the average set of of
fcers, working under the present sys
tenn.
1t is the system which the News
wants to see abolished and the city
administered just as any other bust
ness proposition should be handled,
and to have it done by men who give
all their time to the affairs of the city;
officials who are at the city hall dur
ing the usual business hours just the
same as other business men stay at
their place of business.
1t is safe to say that no private bust
ness interest, involving the expendi-
ture of as much money and represent
ing the interests involved in the admin
istration of affairs, as important as
the city of Hattiesburg, would think of
changing managers every two years
and discharging the men who had just
gained some experience that ought to
be valuable, yet what good reason is
there for conducting the affairs of the
city on any but good business princi-
pies and president.
If one, two or three men were
charged with taking the money, which
is raised by taxation in Hattiesburg,
and were told that they could not
have any more than the amount so re-
allied they would, If acting the same
as if their private interests were in
volved, at once investigate how far
it would go on the present basis of ex-
penditure. and If 1t were not sufficient
on that basis, they would cut expenses
in some way, and it is not unreason-
able to suppose that expenses could
be cut without in any way decreasing
the efficiency of the public SER
vice.
The commission form of government
has come to stay and it will not be
long until every progressive city will
have it, and the present system will
only exist where politics is considered
of more importance than good business
management.

OUR Ex-PREsIDENTs.
What Became of Them After They
Quilted High office.


President Roosevelt retired from
his exalted office while compare
lively young man, and doubtless
looks forward to longer lease of life
than has fallen to the lot of a ma
| jority of retiring presidents. John
Adams, the second president, lived
over a quarter of a century after lay
! ing down the cares of office, but the
average period of life of the presi.
dents after retirement is only twelve
years and ten months. The list is
as follows:
George Washington lived two years
and nine months after retirement.
John Adams lived twenty-five years
and three months.
Thomas Jefferson lived seventeen
years and three months.
James Madison lived nineteen
years and three months.
James Monroe lived six years and
four months.
John Quincy Adams lived nineteen
years and served in the house of rep
resentatives.
Andrew Jackson lived eight years
and three months.
Martin Van Buren, lived twenty-one
years and four months.
William Henry Harrison died pre-
cisely one month after his Inaugural
ton, April 4, 1871.
John Tyler lived seventeen years
after his retirement.
James X. Polk lived three months.
Zachary Taylor died in office six
teen months after his Inauguration.
Willard Fillmore lived twenty-one
years after his retirement.
Franklin Pierce lived twelve years
and seven months.
James Buchanan lived six years
and eleven months.
Abraham Lincoln died in office.
Andrew Johnson lived six years
and four months after retirement,
and served a portion of a term in the
United States senate.
U. S. Grant lived eight years and
four months after retirement.
Rutherford B. Hayes lived eleven
years and eleven months.
James A. Garfield died four months
after his Inauguration.
Chester A. Arthur survived one year
and eight months after retirement.
Grover Cleveland lived ten year.
and seven months.
Benjamin Harrison lived eight
years.
William Mckinley died in office.
Only two of Mr.. Roosevelt's pred
ecessors returned to public life, John
Quincy Adams dying while a member
of the house of representatives, and
Andrew Johnson passing away while
United States senator. Mr.. Roose-
welt may also return to Washington
as a senator, but whether he does or
not the people of the country, regard
less of politics or religion, will wish
him a lease of life far beyond the
three score and ten allotted to man
kind.
