AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ANNUAL
AND DIRECTORY.

For the shirtieth year this compre-
hensive review of the newspaper and
magazine field is presented by this pub
LEGATION. To the publishers of this
country and to those having dealings
with them this work is most useful.
The facts and figures pertaining to
each publication are presented in a con
densed and get-at-able form.
An unusual feature of this volame
is that it combines the newspaper di-
reetsory long published by George p.
RoweH. Mr. RoweTl was the first to
compile such a work, and for forty
years he issued 1t IN the interest of
publishers and advertisers. Following
his death the directory property was
sold to n. W. Aver & Son, who have
now com bined it with their own work.
As heretofore special attention has
been given 80 the Important matter of
circulation figures. Where satisfaeto-
ry signed or sworn statements have
been made these figures are presented;
otherwise the editor of the annual has
estimated the circulation from facts
at his command.

AUTO SUGGESTIONS.

When was a country boy, and lived
upon the farm,
The rural bellies could not resist the
buggy's potent charm;
All that fellow needed, to win the
incest girl,
Was to drive up in his buggy, and take
her for a whirl.
But now all that is needed, ehe dope
has gone to smash,
Girls want something faster than a
buggy's dusty dash;
You've got TO own an auto if you want
to make hit,
Oldstime ways of counting are not
worth little bit.
If You would win maiden of the
strictly modern school,
You d best be up on motors or she II
take You for fool;
You must talk of carburators, k-pmgs
and the like,
Or else she Il surely tell you to hit the
homeward pike.
When she snuggles up beside you, and
looks into your eyes
Dom tell her that her eyes shine like
jewels in the skies;
Whisper that her chances like head
lights thrill you through,
That her graceful, speedy lines, look
mighty good to YOU
Don't put your arm around her ant
per in her ear.
Sweet nothings like the kind the Of,
girls used to hear
Say your heart lSer-ehunks for her
your engine feels new life,
That your soul viii strip it's gear unles
she II be your wife.
That s the kind of counting the fellow
do these days;
The girls have all blue enciled tn
good old-fashioned ways;
But if you own an auto and you smel
like gasoline,
You can line 'em up AMI choose ZEN
and that's no idle dream.

Senator-eiect John Sharp Williams
on his way home from Hot Springs,
where he went to be with his son, who
is i'll. Mr.. Williams only stopped off
between trains, and departed for Yazoo
City the same afternoon. Mr.. VIII
liams expressed satisfaction over the
general political situation, and thinks
conditions, from a democratic point of
view are improving, according to a
conversation with friends He was
especially pleased with the result of the
recent elections in New York, which
showed heavy democratic gains, and
thinks this is the most encouraging
sign Of party success in several years.
There IS not a closer student of politi-
cal events in America than Mr.. vii
liams, aud while he has been, as he ex
pressed it. rustieating on the farm
listening to the birds STAG and living
the simple life for some months, Mr.
Williams has kept in close touch with
the political situation and thinks the
democrats should make good gains in
Congress this year. He pointed to the
dissatisfaction over the tariff as one
reason, while the general political un
rest seems to forecast coming changes
Mr.. Williams had little to say about
Mississippi politics, but spoke of Sen
ator Percy's visit to and speech il
Jackson. He likes the ring of tha
speech, which the former minorit,
! leader saws listens good -
IT IS generally believed that Mr
Williams will take the stump in be
half of Senator Percy during the com
/ ing campaign.

MIXED FLOODS ARE NOT NE
GROES AND May MINGLE
WITH WHITES.

The supreme court of Louisiana by =
vote of three to two has decided that
the state law prohibiting eeaeubin
age between the races ia Louisiana
affects only pure-bloodea whites and
pure-blooded blacks Where either
party is of mixed blood there is no
prohibition under the law. Ir follows
under this decision that where persons
are charged with concubinage, and
either pleads in defense that he or she
is of mixed blood, which would bar
prosecution, it will be incum bent upon
the state to prove the purity of the
race, problem vastly more difficult
than the proving of race mixture.
Justice Land in his dissenting opin
ION declares that under the decision of
the court, the Gay -Shattuck law,
which forbids whites and negroes to
be served with liquors at the same bar.

Through streets gay with flags and
bunting the gray haired veterans of
the Confederate States Army marched
in martial array yesterday, thus bring
ing to a spectacular close one of the
most successful reunions thew have
held in recent years The eitv Offices,
banks, and many business houses were
closed, and the people of Mobile made
the occasion a holiday. Long before
the parade started the streets were
packed with humanity Every win
dow along the route was filed and the
public stands IN the parks and at prom
inert street intersections had no va
cant space.
Spontaneous and enthusiastic APP
piause greeted the veterans all along
the line of march. Though Alabama.
Georgia and Mississippi had the largest
number of marchers in line there was
no State or division of the veterans
organization that was not well repre-
sented. The line was interpreted
with numerous bands and the air was
filed with the melody of familiar
Southern airs. One of the unique
features of the parade that was greet
ed with cheers all along the line was a
genuine wagon train, such as were in
service during the war The train
which consisted of eleven wagons, was
equipped and manned by members of
Forrest $ cavalry corps.

Raw Eczema on Hands.

az had eczema on my hands for ten
years. l had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. l then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura ResolVent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs Before l had used
one bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time l had
used the third bottle, l was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease l would honestly adj
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but to get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me the least
bit Of trouble up to now.
MY daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent

weeks they were entirely cured.
