There were two $10,- 0G0 brick buildings and one $24,000 resi- dence. It shows a great record in the building of residence property, nearly S200.O0 having gone in that direction, or

SOME NEWS AND GOSSIP
 FROM THE NATIONS CAPITAL
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, November b. -(Special.)- There seems to be a great diversity of opinion as to the main lines for Legislation that will be adopted by the contending forces in the coming session of Congress.
 Senator Shoot of Utah, one of the leading stand patters. who has arrived in Washington, is certain that there will be some tariff revision. He is of the opinion that three schedules, cotton, wool and the metal, will be revised. Senator Shoot is a member of the finance committee of the Senate.
 Senator Penrose, chairman of the finance committee, is equally positive that there will be no tariff revision. He does not look for any tariff revision until after 1912. He holds that the varying factions of the two houses and the President can never get together on, any of the sched- ues.
 The democrats, it is certain, will do all in their power to secure the revision of some of the schedules of the tariff. The standpatters will do all in their power

TAKE LESSONS IN
 MINE RESCUE WORK
First Class Will Begin Lessons at West End Rescue Sta
 tiOn Soon

The first class from the state depart ment of mining to take advantage of the opportunity afforded at the federal mine rescue station opened at West End Octo- Der 1, will be Chief Mine Inspector W. H. Nesbitt and five district inspectors who will begin the course of ten lessons in helmet rescue work next Wednesday.
 The instruction will be given by A. R. Brown, supervisor of the station, which is conducted by the bureau of mines of the department of the interior, and will consist of one lesson on Wednesday of each week. The smoke room, which is filled with smoke and poisonous mine air, will constitute the class room, where those learning to work with tools while breath ing the artificial oxygen contained in the helmets will remain for an hour or SO. This instruction is especially valuable for rescue work after an explosion, when it would be impossible for man to enter the mine unless he wore an oxygen hel- met.
 The district inspectors who will be in the class are w. w. Kicker of District 1, Da- vid Kelso of District ?, J. F. Webb of District B. w. R. Ray of District f, and Frank Hllman of District 5,

LEGISLATORS TAKE
 THEIR DEPARTURE

Jackson, Miss, November 16.-(Special.) The very extraordinary session of the Mississippi legislature ended forever last night at o'clock.
 The day was the busiest and the most strenuous of the session. all odds and ends being cleared off the desks of the Jerks, and there were many when the two houses were called to order. There were new bills. resolutions. motions to reconsider, loads of oratory and some pol itics to be gotten rid of, but all were swept aside or run over by the steam roller. This piece of machinery had been wen greased over night, and ran as eas. fly backward as forward. It was brought into play several times during the day and frequently referred to in a jocular way. even by those who were mashed as flat as a pancake.

GAMBRELL TELLS
 SOME SOLID FACTS

Jackson, Miss, November 16.-tSpecial.) In his address before the two houses of the legislature, the Rev. J. B. Gam brell told some solid facts and pointed out the way for the etiforcement of the laws of the state. He was of the opin- ion that men and so called statesmen of this day and generation are controlled toe largely by partisanship--it had been for 4G years-but he believed change is com ing. Mir Roosevelt, he said, had sprung timbers that would never be gotten back in place, and meantime a good many new words and phrases had come into gen. eral use. We now hear of "boards of control' in speaking of the fellows who manage the trusts and combines and sometimes the legislatures, but the time is coming when the people themselves are going to take the management and con- trol of the country and its great indus tries. tf |

to obstruct such legislation. The progress sive republicans will make feint at tariff revision and will also press forward trust, currency and other matters in an effort to rob the regulars of all the political honor possible.
 The inspection force of the bureau of chemistry, department of agriculture, col lected 9500 official samples of foods and drugs during the past fiscal year, of which 32S0 interstate samples were found to be legal and 3113 misbranded or adul- terated, while 503 check analyses were made to insure that correct results were obtained before recommending action on the samples. In connection with this work 5370 hearings were held, less than half be- ing by correspondence. There were 95 129 floor inspections made of imported prod ucts, of which over half were made at New York. A total of 969S imported foods and drugs were analysed at these ports, of which number 30S5 were adjudged adul- terated or mlsbranded and 126S were res leased without prejudice to future ship ments. The miscellaneous samples exam ined at the branches aggregated 1406, mak ing a total of 1S,00o samples fl

The same remark applies to Congress and to our legislators; and unfortunate ly. in Congress and in our legislatures, there are rarely men who understand the laws and needs of trade, and unfortunate these national and state representatives do not believe that most men are hon. est.
 On the whole, it is much wiser to be honest than to be dishonest. Honesty cannot be attacked with success; dishon- esty will be attacked sooner or later.
 Also, it should be understood that com bjnations are essential. Unlimited con- petition is sure to result in monopoly. But, as our country is constituted, a monopoly hardly exists. If it does ex- ist the common law will take care of 1t, ana we need no Sherman law for such purpose.
 One thing has been urged upon the ad- ministrations and upon Congress for years and has been neglected--viz.: a good banking and currency law. When a crisis comes it can be met if money can be had by any reputable man or firm.
 It is not to be forgotten that the money is all in existence. The supply has not been diminished, and cannot be diminished unless people hide it in boxes. It is merely question of putting 1t wheer it can do tho most good. If the banks all over the United States are so grouped and ruled that money needed in Charles ton. $. C., can be got from New York or Seattle can furnish Chicago with ex- tra funds--in short, when the banks all stand together the money will go where

FARMERS STILL
 HOLDING COTTON Alabama Growers Will Keen Staple Until There Is
 Advance in Price

Anniston, November 16.-(Special.) )--Ac- cording to O. P. Ford, vice president of the State Farmers union, the union farm CTS of Alabama are holding their cotton and will continue to keep it off the market until material advance in prices is made. He says the unorganized farmers are letting their product go at any old price offered, and that as soon as the crop of this class is exhausted the price will immediately advance.
 Mr. Ford has returned to Anniston after two months tour of speechmaking to farmers in western and southern Ala bama, some of the largest meetings hay ing been held in Jefferson, Mobile and Montgomery counties. "'The farmers union in this state is stronger today than ever before," says MT. Ford. "and the or ganization is growing rapidly. Every where I met with most enthusiastic re- ception and found the farmers willing to learn. What we need is agitation and ed- ucation. Through ignorance of the bene- fits of organization and unity in action, the farmers are their greatest enemies I believe that within the next two or three years the agriculturists will be able. to control the prices of their products through solidarity of organization, and when that time comes there will be no more 9 cent quotations. The attitude of the union farmer is growing more con- genial toward organized labor, also, and when these two great forces are success fully allied, which is certain to come soon, many complications that now confront us will have been removed"
 MT. Ford served several years as state lecturer of the Farmers union, and was made vice president at the Montgomery convention in 1910. He is an eloquent and forceful speaker, having formerly been a minister of the gospel, and has se- cured thousands of members for his or ganization.

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
Pleasant, Simple, Hut Safe and Elf.
 fectual Cure For 1t
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are full or bloat- ing sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, headaches, tickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling.
 There Is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the in- terior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condi- tion.
 The cure of this common and ob- stinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before 1t has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disap- peared.
 According to pr. Harlanson, the saf- est and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Dias- tase. Aseptfc Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough di- gestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 The plan of dieting is simply another name for starvation, and the use of pre- pared foods and new fangled breakfast foods simply makes matters worse as any dyspeptic who has tried them knows
 As pr. Bennett says. the only reason ! can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not universally used by everybody who is troubled in any way with poor digestion, Is because many people seem to think that because medicine Is advertised or Is sold in drug stores or Is protected by a trade mark 1t must be @ humbug, whereas, as a matter of truth. any druggist who Is observant knows that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets have cured more people of catarrh of the stomach, indigestion tration and rundown condition gem erally, than all the spatent medicines and doctors prescriptions for stomach trouble combined.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the saf- est preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion. catarrh~ of the stomach. biliousness, sour stomach. heartburn and bloating after meals.
