A Treacherous Trouble
Woodbury. People Point the Way Out

Kidney diseases are very dangerous.
They come on silently, gain ground
rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths
that could have been prevented by
proper treatment in the beginning.
Nature gives early warnings of kidney
disease-backache twinges of pain
when STOPPING or lifting, headaches
and urinary disorders. If these symp-
toms are unheeded, there is grave
danger of dropsy or fatal Bright's dis
ease. Doan's Kidney Pills have earn
ed reputation for their effectiveness
in kidney troubles, and are known
and recommended the world over.
Woodbury. testimony proves the merits
of Doan's Kidney Pills to our read
ers.

Doan's Kidney Pills to be just as rep

TO BE A GREAT OCCASION.
One of Largest Farmers Institutes Yet
Held in State.


Jackson.-Beginning on the gath inst.
at the State Agricultural and Mechan-
ical college at Starkville, great
round up" Farmers institute will be
held Tor about ten days. A most elab-
crate program has been provided, and
some of the leading experts in the coun-
try on agricultural subjects will be on
hand to address and work with their
farmer pupils.
A brand new feature also is the
fact that the county superintendents
OF education in many of the counties
are printing notices in the county papers
calling attention to the institute, and
in glowing terms which would do credit
to the advance agent of three ring

corn club members and the girls tomato

chicken farm, and all the other attrac-
tions of Mississippi is complete and
creditable institution for agricultural
education. All railroads have granted
special rates, and rooms will be fur
nished free to those who attend in the
college dormitories. Meals will also be
served in the dining hail. AS the aver
age attendance at the college is about
$50, it will pe seen that good many
farmers, young and old, can be accom-
modated during the time of the insti-

At Washington, Friday, DR.. w. H

other sensation to the house inquiry

promulgated by the bureau of chemis-
try, the food and drug inspection board
and Secretary Wilson himself, had
suddenly been changed into a favor

"All the board joined in the dcci-

sion was approved ly the seei etary
This decision was sent to the printing
Office, was set up and proofs taken,
but it was never sent out
Later an exactly contrary decision
was published by the three members

STATEHOOD BILL
VETOED BY TAFT
President Sends Special Mes
sage to The House.
Gays mat Provision of the Arizona
Constitution Is Pernicious and
Destructive of Independ-
cnce in Judiciary.

IN special message to the house
oil representatives President Taft
vetoed the joint resolution for the ad.
mission of New Mexico and Arizona TO
statehood. His reason was based on
his thorough disapproval of the recall
OF Judges clause in the Arizona con-
stitution. Much of the message was
devoted to a discussion of the func-
tions of courts.
The fact that New Mexico's state
hood was bound up with that of Arizo-
ma meted out to it the same fate. and
neither territory can come into the I'M
ion at this time unless friends of the
joint resolution in congress can mus
ter the twc-thirds vote necessary to
adopt the resolution over the presi-
dents veto. This may be tempted.
The president did not spare words
in condemning the recall feature of
the Arizona constitution, which, he
said, would compel judges TO make
their decisions under legalized ter
rorism." Thee recall pro-ision would
operate against all elective officers of
Arizona. including both county and
state judges. When 25 per cent of the
voters of the previous election petit
toned for special election to remove
an official. such an election would be
compulsory
Much of the message is devoted to
a discussion Of the functions of courts.
The president dwelt at length on the
necessity for freeing the judiciary as
much as possible from politics or pop
ular influence; Referring to the recall
provision, he asked: Gould there be
system more ingeniously devised to
subject judges to momentary gusts of
popular passion than this?'
This provision of the Arizona con-
stitution, in it's application to county
and state judges, seems to me per-
nicious in its effect, so destructive Of
independence in the judiciary, 50
likely to subject the rights of the in
dividual to the possible tyranny of a
popular majority, and, therefore, to be
so injurious to the cause of free gov
ernment, that | must disapprove a con-
stitution containing it."

SENDS OUT THE QUESTIONS.
President of the l. l. & C. Preparing for
Applicants

Jackson.-President Henry H. Whit
field of the Industrial Institute and Col
lege at Columbus is mailing out ques
tions for the examination of applicants
for admission to the states great school
for the girls of Mississippi at Column
bus. The county superntendents are
promptly giving notice of the cxamina-
tions, and will be prepared to issue GER
tificates of admission. The privilege of
attending this school is eagerly sought
for and each year there are hundreds of
girls in Mississippi who are turned away
from its doors. 1t is thought that when
the State Normal college at Hattiesburg
is completed it will in measure relieve
the Industrial school and college of those
who are preparing for the work of teach
ing, at least, and this constitutes at a
conservative estimate, thirty-five per
cent of the attendance at the Industrial
institute and college.

TWO RUMORS SETTLED.
Hebron and Hardy Put Quietus on

Statements.
Jackson.-Since the election there
have been very persistent rumors afloat
as to various sums of money won by
various people, and among the number
State Senator John Hebron has been
credited with having won all the way
from ten to forty thousand dollars on
the election OF Vardaman. These rumors
have been extremely distasteful to Sen

which settles the report:

circulated that l won several thousand
dollars on the late primary election in

"This report has no foundation in
fact. l did not bet a dollar on the
election, or did | win cent.

given the death thrust by Judge w. H.

Law on Subject.

That is a question that is worrying
the mayor, the police sergeant, the
pound keeper and some policemen.
Also if a goose really isn't livestock,
and the law says it is, who is wrong,
the law for saying thing that isn't so,
the goose Tor not being what the law
says, or the officials for not accepting
goose as livestock when it is not as
a matter of fact?
Section sos of the city code says: "It
shall be unlawful for any livestock
known as horses, cows, mules, colts,
hogs, sheep, geese and goats to run
at large in the corporate limits and
any so found running at large shall be

him, as passing some livestock run

HAD TOO MANY WIVES.
And Now the Defendant Is Working on
the County Road

Meridian.-Considcrab talk and in
dignation has been aroused in the city
and county as a result of case in the
circuit court of a white man, f. J..
Deason, who was charged with having
three illegal wives. The man also has
a wife to whom he was legally married.
The three women with whom Deason
Illegally lived are sisters, and from the
union, covering, it is said, a period of
eighteen years, sixteen children were
born. The father of these sixteen chill
dren is also the father of five children
by his legal wife, which makes total
OF twenty-one children. The man and
his consorts have resided in the Collins
vile neighborhood all these years, and
have never been molested until the pres
cnt term of court. The three sisters
are illiterate and of the poorest class.
They were given short Jail sentences,
and Deason was given heavy money
fine and sentenced to serve term on
the county road.
