Campaign Waxing Warm.


A great deal of interest has been
injected into the congressional cam
paign of this, the fifth district, during
the last few days. The contest is be-
tween Congressman A. M. Byrd, of
Neshoba, and S. A. Witherspoon, of
this city.
Witherspoon's friends in Meridian
are getting decidedly active and will
hold big mass meeting at the court
house Thursday night to promote his
interests. Mr. Byrd has charged that
Witherspoon's friends have brought
State Senator Theo Bilbo into the dis
trict for eight speeches to help them
out. Witherspoon's friends say that
Bilbo is a free American citizen and
has right to go wherever the people
want to hear him. They also reply
that Senator Percy has made more
speeches in this district than any 9TH
er man, and that Mr.. Alexander has
also been several times in the district
to defend the secret caucus, which
while not apparently made the issue,
yet it is recognized it will have an
influence.
Both men are good debaters and
both have many friends outside of fac
tional politics, and the campaign from
now on will be most energetic, and
no man can accurately pick the win
ner.

VUL1URES KILL
The STATES Pigs
Many Head of Swine Said TO have
Disappeared From State Hospital
Through This Agency.

Special to The Nea0s.
Jackson, Miss, Aug 9.-Buzzards
have killed and devoured large num-
ber of young pigs at the State Hospital
of the Insane in the last few weeks.
For a long time the pigs disappeared
and it was believed they were being
stolen, but about the time one litter
had been completely wiped out it was
learned that buzzards were killing
them.
Just how many pigs were lost
through this agency is not known, but
the fact was clearly established that
the buzzards, driven to desperation
by hunger, would attack the young
pigs, usually only a few weeks old,
and feed on them. 1t is the first in
stance known in this state, where buzz
yards attacked living animal, and 1t
was some time before the manage
ment of the hospital was convinced
that buzzards were preying upon the
pigs.
The hospital always raises hogs for
fresh meat, as well as chickens to sup
ply the institution with eggs, and
while the buzzards were raiding the
pigs, hawks were busy with the young
chickens, and a large number ol
young chickens were destroyed before
the hawks could be killed or driver
off.
The loss on pigs killed by the buz
yards and chickens killed by the
hawks. will ambunt to considerable
in the long run, but the hospital SUI
has $50 head of hogs and 900 chickens
which will supply all immediate lie
|mands for some time to come.
The buzzards, it is said, would cir
Gle over the pigs for some time, finall!
dashing down and grabbing one IL
its claws, which he would proceed tt
kill and eat on the spot. Some time
the pig would escape, but the buzzar'
would give chase.

MENTAL INFLUENCES.
The State of the Mind Has Direct
Effect Upon tho Body.

The State of the Mind Has a Direct
Effect Upon the Body.
A good deal is said in these days
about the effect of mind ON matter in
the way of the cure of disease, but
less is heard about mental influences
as a cause of bodily Ills, yet 1t Is an
old truth that the state Of mind has
direct effect on the body. The gloom
and depression caused by worry and
anxiety create morbid condition Of
the physical system. 1t is impossible
to feel well physically when the mind
and spirits are downcast. The blood
does not circulate properly. appetite
fails, the head aches. and II these NOR
bid conditions continue more deep
seated ailments are likely to arise, and
cancer may be one Of them.
With many persons fit Of anger is
followed by an attack Of indigestion.
Excitement destroys the appetite. bad
news creates nausea, fright causes
faintness. and SO on, Violent or de-
pressing emotions always disturb the
equilibrium Of body and mind alike.
This being the case. 1t Is inevitable
that when these emotions often recur
or become continuous serious physical
results will follow. The obvious les
son is, then. that mental serenity tends
to health--is, in fact. an essential
element of health-and that instead of
resorting to mind .cures" after the
health is broken It is wise to preserve
the serenity as a preventive and safe
