cf cases, and when we offer that med

tiate. We want them to try ReXall
Mucu-Tone, a medicine prepared from
a prescription of a physician with
whom catarrh was a specially, and
who has a record of thirty years of
enviable success to his record.
We receive more good reports about
ReXal Mucu-Tone than we do of all
other catarrh remedies sold in our
store, and if more people only knew
what a thoroughly dependable rem
edy Rexall Mucu Tone is, it would be
the only catarrh remedy we would
have any demand for.

sorbed and by its therapeutic effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the en-
tire mucous membraneous tract, to
destroy and remove the parasites

To the Tax Payers of Hattiesbure
and Forrest County:

To the Tax Payers OF Hattiesburg
and Forrest County:
There are matters pertaining to the
educational interests of this city and
county that should be of vital inter
est to all; and in order that this sub

To this end, therefore. as mayor OF
this city, call this meeting to be held

ant meeting. The time has come
when the best and most patriotic citi-
zenship of this city and county should
be up and doing.

show the need of biennial sessions of
the Legislature, Mr. Graham con,

of my best friends. Far be it from

terms the license bill provides
license of 50 cents annually to be
paid by each hunter, but does not
apply to man or his children
hunting on his own land. Hunting
without the license is made a. mis-
demeanor, and this license tax is to
be used to enforce the fish and
game law of the State.
Along this same line Mr. Bryan
has a bill in the House which in
eTect will repeal the law as to
no fishing in Black river in Viii.
llamsburg from June Is to August
Is. 1t provides that no fish shall
be caught in thai stream except
with hook and line and forbids all
trapping, dynamiting, etc. 1t is
along the exact line Of the general
fish bill now on the Senate calendar
for third reading and which was
introduced by Senator Bass last
year.
A bill has passed the Senate
amending the law which gives the
father power to dispose of the
custody and tuition of his minor
child by deed. The amendment re-
quires the consent of the mother
to make the deed valid. The TIL =
man case now before the Supreme
Court occasioned this measure.
The House bill reducing the
maximum rate Of interest to seven
per cent does not appear to be
meeting with the favor expect
ed by some and Is not likely to be-
come Law.
Notwithstanding the fact that
there are hardly more than twenty
five bills of real general and de-
serving interest on the calendar of
either house, the total number of
bills exc eeds the number intro
duced last year, which produced
record crop. This will give an
| idea of the vast quantities of local
measures and freak propositions.
Senator Grayion endeavored to
get through a bill requiring rail-
roads to pull mileage on trans,
bnt permitting them to charge >
cents for such mileage. An amend
ment passed providing for the con-
tinuation of the present mileage
system in cases where persons
were willing to suffer the incon-
venicnce OF exchanging mileage Tor
tickets in order to save the ! cent.
1t is hardly thought probable that
the final result will be any change
at all. There seems to be a feel
ing that this matter is in very good
shape as it stands.
The resolution to invite Senator
Bailey of Texas to address the As
sembly on the Federal income tax
measure met with strong oppo-
sition and there we're several votes
against extending the invitation.
As there seems to be misappre-
hension throughout the State as to
the pay of gembers of the Legis-
lature, it may be of interest to call
attention to the fact that they are
not now paid By the day as former
ily but receive Il stated amount and

SOME MEASURES LIKELY
To BECOME Law.
many BILLS, But few WILL PASS
MATTERS OF GENERAL and
LOCAL INTEREST.


The Capitol, Columbia. February
Son Saturday both houses of the
Assembly adjourned until Tuesday,
the House to 10 o'clock and the
Senate to 1890 o'clock. Since both
will adjourn on Tuesday as2 o'clock
until Wednesday invitations to a
banquet Tuesday night were ac-
cepted last week, this means that
practically nothing will be done this
week before Wednesday and proba.
bly, not before Thursday, as the ban.
quet does not begin until 10 O'Clock
Tuesday night and will probably
continue until some hour next morn
ing, which will leave those attend
ing in sorry shape to work Wednes-
day.
It is nov being strongly talked
that final adjournment will be had
on the 18th inst. This can be ac
complished only by brushing practi-
cally everything aside except the ap-
propriat;on and supply bills and
rushing these through. Had the
move been made early in the session,
everything that will be done could
have been finished In three weeks by
cutting ont the picnics and banquets
and getting down to work. Should
only the measures referred to be con-
sidered, the State might be congrat-
ulated. for no legislation at all is
far better than some Of the leglsla-
tion done by our Assembly. Per-
haps some day the people Will realize
the folly of annual lawmaking and
stop the changes in our statutes. If
the necessary changes were made
in reasonable time it would be a
different matter.
Senator Carlisle's Statewide pro.
hibition bill was knocked senseless
in few minutes in the Senate on
Wednesday night last. The bill was
calle'l up and a motion Immediately
made to lay it on the table, which
was carried by nearly two to one.
There was not word of debate. A
quicker death is hardly imaginable.
However, tie liquor matter may not
be settled yet, as the House on
Thursday passed another bill pro.
yidirg for Statewide prohibition,
which will 60 to the Senate to be
acted upon. In fact it has already
gone to that body and is now upon
the calendar, with an unfavorable
majority and favorable minority
report.
A bill bas passed the Senate and is
now before the House providing for
the winding up of the county dis
pensaries in those counties which
voted out dispensaries last summer.
The substance of this measure is,
that the boards of control, within
sixty days after the approval of the
act, must turn oyer to the county

the debts owing, divide the balance
according to existing law, place all
property remaining unsold in the
hands of the county commissioners,
receive S25 each for this work and
then 60 out of office. 1t is probable
that this measure will become law
in few more days.
One of the most important propo-
sitions before the Assembly is, how
to improve conditions at the State
Hospital for the Insane. Several sug-
cestions have been made, among them
a State bond issue cf a million dol
lars with which to buy land and put
up new and larger and more widely
separated buildings, said million
dollars to be supplemented with the
proceeds of the property now on
hand, the sale of which is u part of
this suggestion. While this sugges-
ton meets with considerable favor
from great many, and while all
who are conversant with the state Of
affairs at the asylum readily concede
that something must be done to allie
viate the condition OF the States un-
fortunate, the bond Issue IS not at all
likely to take definite shape, y tract
of land of some one thousand acres
in the sand hills near Columbia will
probably De bought and houses upon
this built in which to take care Of
tine tubercular patients, situated as
far as practicable from the tubercu-
lar department. To This tract will
also be transferred Il part of the
farm. There tie plant, relieved of
the congestion, which is the great
est evil now existing, will be
renovated, altered and improved.
These changes and improvements,
which will put the hospital in
position to take care Of the IN.
fortunatcs for many years to come,
can be made gradually on ap-
preparations of say $1,000 a
year for three or four years. This
is the idea which seems to meet with
most favor and it Is the one which
will probably be adopted.
The appropriation bill was intro
duced in the House last Saturday.
Tine amount asked for for the various
purposes exceeds the appropriations
of last year nearly one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. This IN
crease is made up of $4,000 more
for the State hospital than in former
years, $500 for the general elec-
ton this fall, $4,000 for new dor
mitories al the Citadel and $4,000
to repair damages to the negro col
lege by fire. 1t is believed that the
incaease in the assessed value of prop
erty will easily meet this increase
in appropriations without any higher
levy than last year.
The hunters license bill has
p assed second reading in the
Senate and is, along with the
general fish and game bills, special
order in the House. These are
thought to BE- among the few
general measures that are likely to
get through this session. In general

peculiar interest to the committee.
Review Agents Report
These consisted largely Of references
In the agents reports to conversations
or interviews with Mr.. Ballinger as
commissioner of the land Office on the
subject of the Alaska claims.
This was done, the attorney said, to
show that Mr.. Ballinger had been
actively interested in these cases be-
fore he left the land office and acted as
attorney for said claimants.
He also read from q statement by HI.
H. Schwartz, chief of the field service,
that 1t was at Mr. Ballinger's direction,
in January, 1908, that the Cunningham
claims were ordered to be clear listed
for patent. This order was withdrawn
after CLAWS had been notified and had
protested.
Mr.. Brandeis accompanied the intro
duction of the documents with sort OF
summing up statement, in which he
said 1t was claimed Mr.. Ballinger had
acted on a favorable report by Special
Agent Love.
He then read letter from Love tc
Commissioner bennett of the land Of
flee, in which Love denied that his re-
port of August 2. 1907, favored the clear
listing of the claims. This report, he
said, suggested the advisability OF
further Investigation, though previous
ly he had recommended clear listing.
