Delicately formed and gently reared, women
will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as
maidens, wives or mothers that the one simple
wholesome remedy which acts gently and
pleasantly and naturally, and which may be
used with truly beneficial effects under any
conditions, when the system needs a laxative
is-Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA. 1t is
well known to be a simple combination of the
laxative and carninative principles of plants
with pleasant aromatic liquids which are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste and
acceptable to the system when its gentle
cleansing is desired.
Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna can hope to get it's
beneficial effects. and as guarantee of the
excellence of the remedy the full name of the
company California Fig Syrup Co.'s printed
on the front of every package, and without it
any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA is fraudulent and should be
declined. To those who know the quality of
this excellent laxative. the offer of any substi-
tute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA
is called for, is always resented by transfer

sion, and may reach 100000. In
making up the budget for the coming
year the attention of the legislature
is being called to the deficit which has
constantly required for several years
during the late summer and early fall
making it necessary to borrow from
the succeeding year. Until the reve-
nues are increased by some means, or
expenses cut down, this deficit will
remain. There is hardly a probabili-
ty of any reduction in appropriations,
if indeed they do not largely exceed
those of the last session. Increased

PEOPLE WANT vARpAMAN.

How many of these elegant gentle.
men would have hopes enough of sue
cess to go before the people in a pri-
mary and ask for the office of United
States Senator? 1t is the underly-
ing theory of our government and
the golden thread that permeatees
the political life of the land, that
majorities must rule, and hat the
mandate of the masses must receive
attentive ears. This being true, to
our mind the Legislature can do but
one thing, elect James X. Vardaman
Senator. If the Legislators do this,
they will act in accordance with the
wishes of majority of the Democ
racy of Mississippi. Vardaman is
the choice of the people and we hon.
estly believe that if primary cleo
ton were held within the next thirty
days he would get more votes than
any other two men mentioned for the
place. This is the condition as we
see it now. What it would have been
had that big souled, generous heart
ed, illustrious Anselem J. McLaurin
lived, is quite another matter.
Our conclusions are reached from
an unbiased viewpoint. We have
never supported Gov. Vardaman in a
primary for any office, but that man
is blind that does not recognize that
majority of the masses in Missis-
sippi hold him in high esteem. The
devotion of many of his friends IS
beautiful indeed-it is such fidelity
as can only be begotten by extraordi-
nary virtues.'-Grenada Sentinel

OUT AGAIN! IN AGAIN.

The Nashville Tennessean hands the
political crook who occupies the gu

quet of ancient turnip greens and
cabbage leaves. To-wit:
Another recipient of executive
clemency has gone and landed in Jail
again. This time it is a Memphis
crook recently rardoned by Patterson
who is back in the tolls. Paul Batter,
after getting loose. has promptly got
into jail again, this time on charge
of being a pickpocket.
Strange how the kindness of the
Governor is disregarded by the crooks
he is turning out at the request OF
'boyhood friends and certain members
of his personal staff-who get fat fees
for their arduous legal duties, and be-
cause they know the Governor so in
timately.
First, there was the fellow who
got put in the pen for selling dead
hogs. Soon after receiving a pardon
he was convicted again. for stealing
live hogs.
Several months ago The Tennes-
sean called attention to the case of
Jas. Benson, a murderer, pardoned by
Patterson, who was again indicted

and has since started to serve a Sec
ond sentence. He had been pardoned
at the request of 'boyhood friend of
the Governor.

in the Davidson County Criminal

BELATED PATRIOTISM.

The good people, of Nashville are
in slough of despond because that
town is run wide open. and they are
making appeals as pitiful as they are
hopeless, for claw enforcement" They
are hurting thunderbolts of gospel
truth from the pulpit; they are gath
ering together in mass meetings and
resolutin' on the subject: they are
promulgating addresses through the
public press; they are raisin' sand.
All last spring and summer when they
should have been on guard to prevent
their present deplorable condition,
they were doing nothing. And if they
had it to do over again they would
do nothing again.
Hilary Howse, the recently elected
mayor of Nashville, the rich and cul-
tured capital city of the proud old
Volunteer State,' is a lout and a
BLACKBOARD. He is uneducated, coarse
and vulgar. For some years he has
been a ward heller. He is an unscrup-
ulous practical politician. He is ae
utterly lacking in morals as he is in
refinement, education and culture. But
he has some good parts. He is not
a bad-hearted man; he has fairly good
( business sense; he Is open and frank
bold and courageous. Everybody in
Nashville, in the slightest touch with
local politics, has known for years
who Hilary Howse is and what he is
Everybody knew last year when hi
announced his candidacy for Mayor
that II elected he would run wide
open town. Everybody said so, ant
Mr. Howse did not take the pains t.
deny it. He cursed the prohibition
law and the fanatics who run it owe
the people," and said it wouldn't pro
hibit"; which every one understood
to mean that Hilary would not tr,
to make it prohibit. In short 1t wa
generally known and understood AM
agreed that Hilary Howse was run
ming for Mayor for the purpose, i
elected, of prohibiting the prohibition
law from prohibiting.
With all this well known of all men
the good people" sat supinely still
and permitted Mr.. Howse to walk int
the office; the opposition, many o
them, staying away from the polls
others of them dividing their strength
between his opponents. Two or three
efforts were made by a faithful few
to organize and agree upon a man tt
run against Mr.. Howse, but these eff
forts were abortive, because ninety
per cent of these belated patriots who
are now bowling with rage, would moi
attend the meetings. A self-appointed
committee of these faithful few
seafched the town over for an avail
able man to put in the race, but not
1 man was to be found who had the
patriotism and the courage to make
the nght. The truly good" were truly
indifferent; now they are getting what
