Merely a Prevarlcator.

4 doctor relates the following story:
I had a patient who was very Ill and
who ought to have gone to a warmer
climate so / resolved to try what hyp-
notism would do for him. l had q
large sun painted on the ceiling of his
room and by suggestion induced him
to think 1t was the sun which would
cure him. The ruse succeeded, and
he was getting better rapidly when
n day on my arrival l found he was
dead"
Did 1t fall, after all, Them" asked
one OF the Doctors hearers. e
NO" replied the doctor, ."he died
of sunstroke."

Suddenly Lord Arthur, a big burly

"'Sir,' said Lord Arthur to the king,

Governor Noel took the first, step
toward dissolving the tie.up in the
Mississippi levee board by appointing
Hon. J. H. helms of Greenville to be
president of the levee board, vice
George M. Baggett. Under the gov
ernor's construction of the statutes
and the court decisions, this preroga-
tive Of appointment was 1undoubted,
as the period for which Mr.. Baggett
had been elected was only as far as
the term Of his predecessor, DR.. r. P.
Crump, extended, and that was I'D to
and including the second Monday in
July, which ended his two-year term,
Baggett having been chosen directly
after DR.. Crump's resignation. When
the e board met on July II, an ef-
fort was then made to undo the work
OF h outgoing board, but here was
where undiluted trouble developed, as
the six members were evenly divided,
and so the organization as effected
by the outgoing alignment could not
be dissolved.

I'm answering, the encouragement
holds that the statutes r specific and
definite, which authorize the auditor
to pay to persons who have overapid,

Is regardless Of whether such assess

DR.. w. S. feathers, hygienic field
agent Of the state board of health and
director of public health and santa.
ton, in a health bulletin just issued,
tells the people of Mississippi a few
things that theyfought to know about
tuberculosis.
DR.. feathers points out, among 9th.
er, things, that the disease most often
attacks one during the most produc-
tive and useful period Of life, or be-
tween the ages of twenty and forty
flves and continuing, states the follow
ing:
! He points out that the old idea that
consumption or tuberculosis was in.
herited must be set aside, in view Of
the discoveries of scientists like Koch,
which located the germ or the "bacil-
lus of tuberculosis" which may get
into the glands Of the neck, or else
the throat, bowels. kidney.
brain or bones and joints. though it
more often lodges in the air passages
OF the lungs. and has no respect for
ages, sex, race or class.
Closing, DR.. feathers says: "Tuber-
culosis is, then, not inherited, but a
person owing to some inherent weak
ness may be predisposed to it. 1t is
not contagious, like measles, but it Is
communicable. Remember that the
disease-ca and should be prevented
and that the successful treatment of
consumption depends upon IN early
diagnosis by a competent physician.
It is, therefore, q communicable, pre-
ventable, and durable disease"

counties have cotton that looks well
and is In q fine state of cultivation,
having lever suffered from too much
rain or lack of cultivation. This cot
ton is normal and may be graded as
100. Elsewhere there is not S per

such poor condition as to be almost
unspeskable. OF the cotton ! saw,
20 per cent is good 20 per cent is very
poor. and the remaining 60 per cent
is mixed and irregular, running from
good to very bad in the same fields,
and will average low. The entire
delta will grade less than rs, possibly
only 10 per cent of normal, assuming
that normal is above IN average. and
just q little short of perfect, which is

upon the cotton in the riverside coun-
ties, one would not get 20 per cent, of
good cotton, and the percentage would
be lower than 10. 1t is the prospect

tarily takes the field and e%lectioneers
in the interest Of the proposed change,
that some arrangement be made SO
that the state press will cooperate in
keeping them before the people from
week to week. 1t is a well-known fact
that at the congressional elections, as
q rule, where the candidates have been
nominated in the primaries; the turn
outeof voters is away below anything
Ike sc per cent. of the registered vote
OF the state, and unless some way IS
devised to arouse interest In the mat
ter they are apt to go by default. In.
order to carry at the polls a majority
ofss4the qualified voters voting: at the
election must record themselves In the
affirmative, but 1t is often the case at
elections where constitutional amend
ment propositions have been voted on
that the voter, either deliberately or
through oversight, has failed to vote
either way and thus virtually II . vote
cast against it.
E. These proposed changes are very
important, the first being to provide
for an elective judiciary such as ex-
listed prior to 1868, when the black
and tan ruling power changed the sys-
tenn, and it Is believed that the peo
pie of the state are ready for the
question. Amendment No. 2 proposes
TO alter the constitution that all
amendments and changes submitted
to the voters of the state at one ses-
the polls, shall be inserted at the
next succeeding legislative session.
amendment No. 8, and most impor-
tant also, is one that proposes to
amend the organic law so as to pro-
vide that each session Of the legisla-
cure shall be regular, and at which it
will be competent forfthe, legislature
to originate subjects OF Legislation OF

for a special recommendation from the

course of former years and. because Of
he addition of new subjects, it will be in
no way weakened, but, rather strength
tned The course is admirably adapted
TOR those who wish to follow with uni
versity course along similar lines.
The second Is similar to the first but
does not contain Greek. 1t also fits for
college but contains more Of the sciences
and modern languages. The third or
technical course is for those who wish to
take technical courses at college and an
entrance certificate Will also be
granted upon its completion. 1t gives
an excellent course In mathematics and
elementary science. The liberal part of
the education is however. retained and
four years OF English, az we'll as several
other studies. such az history, are given.
The general course Is for those who are
not going to college but who intend TO
