Must Garry the Liquors.

The American Express Company was
served with an injunction compelling it
to accept shipments of intoxicating
liquors consigned to persons residing in
the State of Mississippi when rendered
to it by ferry boats plying between
Vicksburg and Delta, La.
The bill of complaint charges that the
American Express Company receives,
carries and delivers liquors to consignees
in Mississippi when such liquors are
shipped by dealers in Madison parish,
by way of the Southern Express Com
pany, which maintains offices in Mad
ison parish and does business over the
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific and
the Acknowledging Railway Com
panies' lines; but that the American Ex-
press Company refuses to receive such
shipments when rendered to it by fer
ries, steamboats, or any other carrier,
except the Southern Express Company.
The American Express Company has no
office in Madison parish, its nearest Of
flee being at Vicksburg. The bill further
says that the sales of such liquors are
made in Louisiana and hat all charges
for carriage are prepaid.

The biennial report of Secretary of
State j.. w. Power for the two years
ending September 80, 1909, will show

OF $31,332, 100, of which $14, 100000 was
for railroads, and the remaining $780,
$4,000 for sos charters for other con-
Germs. These include 167 mercantile
concerns, capitalized at $3,176,000; Al
banking institutions, $2,976 900; 62

Der concerns, So, O49,0 OO; 20 manufacture

500; cotton oil companies, $320,O00; ho-
tells and restaurants, $117,50O; canning

tions, including railroads, and a total

Independents File Protest.

The railroad commission had . very
lively session when the representatives
of more than a score of Independent
telephone companies appeared before the
body to protest against the recent order
of the commission, which virtually
forces a cancellation of all existing COP
tracts for physical connections between
Independent telephone ines and the
Cumberland Telegraph & Telephone
Company. Many of the existing con-
tracts between the Cumberland and the
Independents have expired, or are about
to expire, and the Cumberland and the
smaller concerns are willing 10 renew
them on the old basis, but the recent
order of the railroad commission acts as
a barrier.

of the lower house of the Legislature,
was in Jackson Wednesday for the pur-
pose of awarding contract for a carpet
to be placed on the floor of the house

is expected, will do away with a large
amount of the noise and confusion that

$1.40 per yard. and must be laid befors

Approve Evans Promotion.

There is much rejoicing among the
many Mississippi friends of Lieut. Col.
r. X. Evans, of the United States army,
over the formal announcement from
Washington of his promotion to the rank
of colonel of infantry. Col. Evans is a
native of Jackson. His boyhood days
were spent in this city, and he has a
number of relatives who reside here, and
a host of friends who have watched his
military career with the keenest inter
est, feeling confident that he would win

Policy Holders Are Reassured.

Insurance Commissioner Henry wired
Insurance Commissioner Hotchkiss of
New York to know the condition of the
Phoenix Fire Insurance Company OF
Brooklyn, and received reply stating that
the company had changed officers with
his approval; that the capital of the
company is unimpaired, and the pros
pect is that there will be a surplus,
while policyholders are ~safeguarded
against loss. This is reassuring to
many p~olicyholders in this section.

Mild Form of Smallpox.

Occasional reports of the appearance
of smallpox are being received at the Of
flee of the state board of health, accom-
panied by requests for vaccine virus,
which the board is unable to furnish
without charge, owing to the inadequacy
of its biennial appropriation. Within
the past half dozen years the state has
not been wholly free from smallpox,
but it is invariably of a mild type, and
always confined to the negro population.
The death rate from the contagion has
not been heavy.

Pushing Long Distance.

will do away with the central system.
Toll stations will be established at all

Mai. John ]. Hood Passes Away.

Mai. John j. Hood, one of the most
gallant heroes of the lost cause, and
widely known throughout the South as
a literary man of exceptional attain
ments, died Saturday at the home of
his son, James C. Hood. The passing
away of the noted veteran and writer
was not unexpected, for he had been
in failing health for more than two
years, and rarely left his apartments.
He had attained the ripe old age of 70
years, and nearly a decade ago was
forced to retire from active business life
on account of his health.

FRANCE RESUMES GUILLOTINE
impatient Crowd Demand TO Witness the Hrsl
Deeapltaiion Ii Years.

The French Government has re-
sumed the use of the guillotine for
executing prisoners convicted Of
capital ofenses, and the second pub
lie execution under this methods
took place at Carpentras Tuesday.
The condemned, a man named
Remy DanYerse, who had cruelty shot
an aged farmer and his wife, was
FIRST made aware of his fate by the
yells Of the crowd that surrounded
the prison. He came out Of the pri-
son yard with livid face and startling
eyes, and it was necessary to make
use Of force to get him to the guillo-
tine and his head in position for the
fall Of the blade.
The guilIotine was erected on a
public square alongside the prison.
The locality was cordoned with sold
iers, who effectually blocked all the
streets, but an inpatient crowd,
which had assembled during the night,
demanded that it be given . chance
to witness the de~capitatiou. Some
Of the people climbed upon ladders
from which they kept the others in
formed of the details of the proceed
ings, while the windows Of the houses
overlooking the square were jammed
with people.-IbervilIe Sentinel.

Weak Tea Invites Sleep and
Improves the Complexion.

/ advise those who consult me up
on the tired complexion to indulge in
what is called the English beauty
cup. Mr.. Gladstone took it each
night Of bis life, as long as be had
health, and it is the cup which keeps
many an English beauty going. It
is simply tea, but tea made without
the nerve destroying attributes. #
properly made it invites sleep.
You take halfa small coffee spoon
Of tea and you scatter it in the bot
tom Of q very large cup. The Ger
man coffee cups are the best for this
purpose. Over thia you pour as
much boiling, bubbling water as the
cup viii hold.
The saucer is placed on top Of the
cup in Chinese fashion. Now comes
the big wadded tea cosey, which
must be thrown over all. It is an
oddly shaped cosey, made to cover
cup and saucer. It stands for five
minutes to steep.
Now comes the scientific part Of
the cup: You take three very thin
slices Of lemon and you lay them IN
a big hot cup. On top of the slices
of lemou you place a big m~araschino,
and then ou top Of all you pour in the
tea, putting it through . strainer.
The result will be q fine, weak, hot,
but healthful cup of tea with just the
right flavor Of lemon. You can have
sugar if you want it, and Gladstone's
rule Of three big Jumps will do you
no harm, for sugar is a great builder
up of the muscles.
BY the way, if you are tagged out,
day or night, try eating a little
sugar. A lump of sugar viii restore
the stomach and take away that
tired feeling. Sugar is recommended
to women whose checks are hollow.
has a way Of building up tissue.
A big cup Of tea at night is excel
lent, but the trouble is that most per-
sons make it too strong; the weaker
the better. The same is true Of cot
fee, which if taken weak enough, and
with plenty Of good sugar acts az .
