Cherry had listened eagerly to this

by the pathos of the youths sense OF
failure. His poignant pessimism, how
ever, only seemed to throw into relief
the stubborn fxedness of his dominant
purpose. The moving cause of 1t all,

in her, and she said:

made to determine the explosibility Of
various mixtures of gas and air in the
presence of shots of different types of
explosives. Considerable progress has
also been made in the investigation of
explosives used in coal mining, and
the conditions under which they may

for test at the station and consider
able portion of them passed and have
been classified among the permissible
explosives. The Investigations and
educational work in connection with
the use of artificial breathing and
other types Of mine rescue equipment,
the so-called oxygen helmets, have not
only been useful in developing a more
satisfactory use Of such equipment in
the examination of mine explosions,
but also better methods for using this
equipment in mine rescue work.

Four Weeks Treatment
Calls Forth Praise

That treatment is the best which af.
fords prompt relief while building w
the body.
Thousands Of people suffering with
pain in the stomach, belching, sour.
ness and constipation, are taking ono
patent medicine after another trying
to get relieved. They never can get re-
lief, because aside from the pernicious
drugs used in many patent medicines,
no correct diagnosis has been made OF
their condition by competent special
list. Therefore they are pursuing hit
or miss plan for cure.
This form OF treatment is very In
furious and continued neglect Of proper
treatment will leave the stomach in

Obituary.

Sarah E. Sanders, daughter Of Thorn
as NJ. and Sarah Sanders, was born
near Samantha, Highland county,
Ohio Feb. 8, 1888 and departed this
life Sept. 5, 1910, aged y years 6
months and % days.
Her girlhood days were spent on the
farm where she was raised and her
school life was spent in Richmond,
Ind. where she received her educa-
tion.
She was married to Thomas II.
Sanders Nov. 2, 1865. For several
years they lived at Leesburg, Ohio,
where upon the death Of her compan
ion in 1904, she came to live with her
sisters, Mary and Ellen, at Highland,
at which place she resided until her
death.
She was member Of Highland
Friend Meeting and was faithful
consistent Christian worker. She was
a devoted wife and loving sister and
daughter and will be greatly missed
among her large circle Of friends and
relatives.
Father mother, one brother and
three sisters have preceded her to that
Better Land. One brother alone sur
wives, II. II. Sanders, who resides at
Columbus, Ohio, together with ten
nephews and nieces, and other near
relatives who mourn their loss
When it became apparent that an
incurable disease had fastened itself
upon her, Aunt Sarah went about
making preparations for her Heavenly
home just like she was was going on a
long Journey. She did not complain
but saying, 'all is well' she gave
directions concerning her funeral, ar
ranged her financial affairs and then
in blissful trust and childlike faith she
committed herself to God and lay down
toquiet sleep, to awake in the celestial
city, there to be with her Savior and
the loved one who have gone on before
TO spend DllSStul eternity.
Aunt Sarah's life work is ended,
She will be greatly missed, the old
home will be closed and probably pass
into the hand Of strangers the place
that knew her shall know her no more,
but her Christian example, her loving
consideration of others and her earnest
trust in God will live long in the
memories Of those who knew her best.
$50 live that when thy summons
comes to join the innumerable caravan
which moves TO that mysterious realm
where each shall take his chamber in
the silent hall of death"
''Thou 90 not as the quarry slave at
night, scourged to his dungeon, but
sustained and soothed by an unfalter-
ing trust, approach thy grave like one
who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant

FUTILITY OF ATTACK UPON VARDAMAN'S
CHARACTER.

1t seems to be the ''plan OF campaign"
sof the newspapers which are supporting
the political firm OF .'Percy, Alexander
& Noel, Iimitel", to attempt to blacken
Ex-Governor Vardaman's character and
thus bring ruin to himself, his home and
his family. But the foolishness and fu-
tility Of these attacks upon Vardaman
have been demonstrated time and again.
Vardaman is deservedly the most popu-
lar and highly esteemed public man in
Mississippi, and money bribery and Of
fetal bribery cannot defeat him before
the people.
Vardaman recently delivered an ad-
dress before the Philomathean Literary
Society Of Mississippi College at Clin-
ton. He was introduced to the assem-
bIage by DR.. w. T. Lowry, president of
the College. Mississippi College is the
educational institution of the Baptists,
the largest denomination in the State,
and DR.. Lowry is one of the most re-
spected educators in Mississippi. Now
let any man of common sense bear in
mind these facts, and he will realize how
pueriIe are the attacks upon Vardaman,
after reading the following Introductory
address made by President Lowry:
"Dr. w. T. Lowry, president Of Mis-
s;ssippi College, introduced Ex-Governor
James K. Vardaman, the speaker Of the
evening. In pleasant and attractive
terms DR.. Lowry spoke Of the genial re-
lations tha5 have always existed between
himself and the visitor, telling Of how
he esteemed him for his high intellec-
tual ability, answering integrity and
sympathetic nature, and, in closing,
said: "The speaker is very tired to-
night, having done hard days work,
bui I know that the audience would
rather hear Governor Vardaman tired
than anybody else in the world -

GOOD FOR VARDAaIAN.
Jackson Clarion-Ledger, Oct. s.

Jackson CIariOn-Ledger, Oct. s.
While this paper and ex-Gov. Vnrda-
man'do not, as a rule, agree upon pub
lie questions, and all men have the right
to disagree upon questions of principles
and men, they do agree upon the politi-
cal situation in Tennessee, each holding
to the opinion that the Democracy of
that State should get together and elect
Senator Taylor to the gubernatonal
chair; in other words, that it is the duty
Of the Democrats OF the OLD Volunteer
State to reunite and elect a Democratic
State ticket.
Governor Vardaman was a visitor to
the Tennessee Democratic Convention
at Nashville, on Thursday, and was
called upon for an address, which is re-
ported by the Commercial Appeal as
follows:
SCI have never missed an opportunity
to speak foc Democracy" he said. 81
have watched with deep interest the
fluctuations Of the party in Tennessee.
| have waited for leader to come forth
to lead the party to victory. Like the
Roman general, dear old Bob Taylor
has always desired to be placed where
the fighting was thickest. Why should
Tennessee turn over the government,
the birthright of the white people, TO
the Republicans ?"
Mai. Nardaman made alIusion to the
many Confederate veterans surrounding
him on the platform and gave a Demo-
cratic picture of the sufferings of the
soldier in gray, and then demanded to
know if the white people were going to
surrender what they had won. ''If they
do, ''said he, "they are traitors to their
ancestors. They have no right to sur
render the birthright of Southern white
men and Democrats. This is no time
for spleen and prejudice. Hate hurts
him who harbors it. It paralyzes his
Judgment" And, in conclusion, he told
the Democrats to keep up the good
fight, and the victory would be theirs on
Nov. 8. Tremendous applause was
given Maj. Vardaman when he con-
cluded.
