For the Legislator e.

In addition to the announce.
ment column we call your attcn-
ton TO the card published from
Many Voters authorizing US to
announce the name of Hon. G.
B. Hannah for Representative
for the Legislature for the WeS-
tern District of Oktibbeha Coun-
ty.
Mr.. Hannah is too we'll known
throughout the county for US to
say anything that would add
prestige to his character in any
way, He is well known as a
model man and citizen, and will
measure up to the best and un-
excelled by none.
He is a man Of great expert
ence and very great amount Of
common sense. He resides on
part of the old farm his father
moved upon when he lmmigrated
from Tuscaloosa county,, Alaba-
ma when young Hannah was a
child only few years Of age.
At the first sound of the tocsin
of var between the states, the
then youth enlisted as a soldier
of the confederacy and served
throughout honorably and gal
lantly, making q soldiers record
that any man ought to feel proud
Of.
Mr. Hannah has served his
county in years past as Repre-
sentative in the state legislature
and acquitted himself with great
2ss3It and honor.
DIR. Hannah has farmed all his
- s3et.ssss a i'aa work himself
culefiy and has been success
full. His chief crop has been
corn and other such food stuffs
as to make one Independent,
debt free He always believed
IN planting such things for home
consumption and dispose Of the
surplusage.
Mr.. Hannah is man of strong
convictions and has the courage
to assert them and if wrong and
convinced, quick to swerve to the
right.
1t has oeen the good fortune
of the editor to have known Mr..
Hannah for forty years intimate
ly and, upon the whole, we have
never known in all the phases of
life a better rounded man in
character than Hon. G. B. Han
nah.
He is uniformly courteous and
polite to all alike, a man who
reads much and keeps posted
with the current events of the
day.
His school days were in SER
vice of his country during the
war, coming in contact with his
fellow soldiers. Self culture
gave him such advantages as
few men avail themselves of.
If there be merit in honesty
and common sense, MIR. Hannah
possesses them and is recogliz-
ed by his colleagues in the Leg
islature and his constituents.
We all know that Mr. Hannah,
not an old man nor young man,
eyer active and industrious,
would make splendid represen-
tative if elected. Consider his
announcement. He will appre-
ciate your influence and votes.

Mr.. Alexander has gone over

do you suppose they would fur

thing calculated to iujure Alex

that matter.
In this literature he is sending
out over the State he makes ref

four degrees from the State Uni

it as qualifying element for po-

be placed upon him so strongly
that he will never forget it.
Take Alexander's literature he
has mailed out the past week to
the more prominent people of

he uses Vardaman as his text.

RECORD TOUR OF
FRENCH ACTRESS
Sarah Bernhardt Earned $780,
600 in So Weeks.

When Sarah Bernhardt sails away
from New York to Paris on the La
Lorraine on Thursday the expressions
of affection for American theater-goers
in which she may confidently be eX-
pected to indulge ought to come from
her heart, for her tour in its financial
returns has exceeded the records of
any other French dramatic star.
Independent of the returns of ner
coming four performances at the
Globe theater in New York, the gross
receipts of Nine. Bernhardt's season
have totalled $9S2,OOO. This huge sum
has been earned in less than eight
months, and the physical energy dis
played by the venerable French genius
during her visit has been quite as
amazing as her artistic powers.
At the age of sixty-seven, when most
grandmother are content to take only
a passive interest in the affairs of the
world, she has travelled more than
$4,000 miles, crossing the continent
twice.

SUESFOR DIVORCE
ON BIRTH OF SON
John Bancroft, JT., Starts Action
Against wife, a Dupont
CASE CREATES A SENSATION

Wilmington Millionaire Declares Max
HeibIer Is Father of Child Born
Three weeks Ago.
John Bancroft, Jr., son of John Ban
croft, millionaire textile manufacturer
of Wilmington, Del, has applied for a
divorce from his wife, daughter of
Alfred l. Dupont, multi-mlllionaire
vice president of the Dupont Powder
compan Y.
The action, which caused a sensa-
ton, is a sequel to the elopement of
the young couple to Washington, Dec.
s, 1907, where they were married by
Rev. D. c. Mcleod. The case is
brought on alleged statutory grounds.
The docket reads: John Bancroft,
Jr., VS.. Mrs Madeline Dupont Ban
croft and Max Heibler, Jr. Libel for
divorce"
The Max Heibler, Jr., mentioned is
a three-weeks-old son of Mrs. Ban.
croft, the paternity of whom Bancroft
denies. Max Heibler was a resident
of Munich, Bavaria, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Bancroft passed much of their
time. following their elopement on
Dec. 10, 1907. The husband declares
that the son born to Mrs. Bancroft is
the child of this Max Heibler.
The case promises to be one of the
most sensational that has ever been
heard in the Delaware courts. Di-
in, ic tofa rd N
open court, and the case will come up
at the September term of superior
court.
The wedding of the couple created
a sensation at the time they left the
home of the girls father in an auto
mobile, following a stormy scene with
| the girls mother, and were married
in Washington the same day. At the
time the bridegroom was a student at
| Princeton.
Shortly after the wedding Mr.. and
Mrs. Bancroft went to Munich, where
the husband completed his studies at
Heidelberg University. Upon return
ing to this country, young Bancroft
became connected with his father in
the Bancroft mandatory.
Allegations are to the effect that
while the young wife was in Munich
the husband remaining in Whining
ton, she had improper relations, con
tinuing at other European cities. The
child was born at the home of Mrs
Bancroft in this city three weeks ago
The object in joining the child as
defendant with it's mother, it is said
is to have the court pass upon its
legitimacy
Neither NJ. nor Mrs. Bancroft are
in this city. He is at Minerva, N. Y.
and she is at Atlantic City. Mr.
Whiteman, attorney for the husband
declined to discuss the affair
Thomas Heisal, lawyer for the wife
said: Il have a perfect defense"
According to the docket, Mrs. Ban
croft's age is twenty-three and he
husbands twenty-six. 1t is the i'm
preston in Wilmington that Mrs
Bancroft is considerably more thai
three years younger than her hus
band.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1t Is An Internal Disease And Re-
quires An Internal Remedy.

The cause of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities Rheuma-
tism is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
Rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of cases,
ii has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe it will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root of the dis
ease and removes its cause. This splen-
