OF STATE VOTERS
Commissioners of Each Election Dis
Inquiries on Subject.

Jackson, Miss, May 1.-THE re-
peated inquiries from all parts of the
state regarding the qualifications of
voters during the coming primaries
has resulted in the taking of action
on the part of Attorney General Hud-
sons office that was only to be eX-
pected. Hereafter all inquiries will
not be subjected to rigid eXamina-
lions by Assistant Attorney General
Carl Fox, but will be referred to the
election commissioners of the dis
tricts from which the. queries come.
eve get hundreds and hundreds of
queries, all alike in their general ma
ture, and while we can tell them what
the law says regarding elections, we
cannot determine whether they have
stated the facts in the cases properly.
We have therefore decided to let the
commissioners of each election dis
trict investigate these matters and
determine who shall be permitted to
vote, after having been properly in
structed in the meaning of the proper
qualifications of voters
One of the most serious problems
that has confronted the attorne y gen.
erals office is that of changes in resi-
dence of the voters, and the election
commissioners are the only persons
who can properly inquire into whether
this change, in every individual case
is to be permanent or temporarily.

STANDARD OIL
IN this STATE
Litigation Similar to That Decided by
Supreme Court is Pending In
Mississippi.

What effect, if any, the decision of
the United States supreme court in
the Standard Oil case will have on the
similar litigation against that corpora
ton in the Mississippi courts, is a
subject of much speculation among
attorneys.
General employees in the various
suits pending declined to venture any,
opinions until they have carefully
read the full text of the decision hand
ed down at Washington ON Monday
This reticence prevails both among
attorneys for the complainants and
the defendant corporation.
The antitrust cases against the
Standard Oil in Mississippi involve
penalty claims amounting to several
million dollars, and practically moth
ing mas been done during the past
year to get the suits to a hearing on
their merits. The bills of complaint
and pleadings have been filed, but no
testimony taken.
The principal branch of the litiga-
ton was instituted in the chancery
court of Clay county at West Point.
Two suits were also filed in the
chancery court of Harrison county at
Gulfport, but they are not regarded as
of much importance.
The general attorneys for the Stand
ard Oil Company in Mississippi are
Messrs. Mayes & Longstreet, of Jack
son.
In view of the decision rendered il
is expected that an effort will be
made to secure an early hearing OF
this litigation, together with a pre-
sentation of the evidence.

TOMATO CLUBS
Are SPREADING
Girls in Some of the Counties Are
Taking a Great Deal of Interest
in the Work.

Jackson, Miss, May 17.-"Work
among the tomato club members of
Copiah and Lincoln counties is pro-
crossing nicely" said Miss Susie v.
Powell, state organizer of this branch
of the school development work of
the state, just before leaving for Ha-
zlehurst this morning. "The girls
are working hard, and several of the
schools have enlisted the aid Of
prominent local truck growers for the
delivering of lectures on the raising
of tomatoes and cucumbers. We will
have a great showing at the state fair
this year, aside from the incalculable
amount of garden truck that will be
disposed of among the merchants of
Copiah and Lincoln counties"
Miss Powell will spend the coming
week at Hazlehurst and Brookhaven,
and their adjacent towns, organizing
work Of the present organizations.
One of the most encouraging indl
cations of work among the girls was
received in letter from the Grafton
Tomato Club, comprising member
ship of about hundred girls. This
organization has planted severa
acres to tomatoes and cucumbers and
has already had several lectures by
well known truck growers.

A HARMLESS way TO
DARkEN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes Gray
Hair Vanish-A Remedy for
All Hair Troubles.

Who does not know the value OF
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft, glossy and in good condl-
tion2 AS a matter of fact, sulphur
is a natural element of hair, and de-
fciency of 1t in the hair is held by
many scalp specialists to be connect
ed with loss of color and vitality of
the hair. Unquestionably, there is no
better remedy for hair and scalp trou-
bles, especially premature grayness,
than sage and sulphur, if properly
prepared. The Wyeth Chemical Com
pany of New York put up an ideal
remedy of this kind, called Weyth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, and
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded If it fails to do exactly as rep
resented
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by The Owl
Drug Store.

tanned severe bruises about his head

king ALFONSO
IS THREATENED
Young Ruler Having to Contend With
Bombs of Anarchists and Germs
of tuberculosis.


Madrid, May 17-Threatened by
the boms of anarchists and the germs
of tuberculosis, target for fires on
both of the clericals and anti-clericals,
his throne tottering from the assaults
of the rapidly-growing Republican par
ty, haunted by the ghost of Ferrer, his
eldest son mentally defective and his
second son almost a dumb mute
these are but a part of the troubles
that beset Alfonso, the boy king of
Spain, on his twenty-fifth birthday.
Messages of congratulation-alth
expressions of sympathy were more in
order-were received by the youthful
monarch today from all brother rulers
of Europe.
While efforts have been made to
keep the condition of Alfonso a Sc
cret, the Intransigeant asserts au-
thoritatively that the king is seriously
ill from tuberculosis and that his ply
sicians have decided that he must re-
ceive rigorous treatment if his life is
to be prlonged. 1t is understood that
he will have to spend next winter in
Switzerland, as tie climate OF Spain
during the winter months aggravates
his complaint.

HOW STANDARD
OIL MAY DISSOLVE
Wall Street Guessing How Legal
Talent Will Meet Supreme
Courts Decision.

New York, May 17.-Wall street
had its ear to the European cables
yesterday morning, waiting for news
of the opening markets across the
Atlantic, which would test the effect
of the decision of the United States SUI
preme court, declaring the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey and it's
10 subsidiaries an illegal monopoly.
The first news was reassuring, al
though apparently not unexpected
The fact that the London stock mar
ket opened but half point to point
below Mondays New York closing
and quickly strengthened on New
York buying orders indicated that the
decision had been generally antici-
pated and Swallowed the quality of the
overnight verdict on the courts de-
cision.
By II o'clock-London time-which
was approximately six o'clock in New
York, the London market had settled
down to a firm and fairly active tone.
Opinion seemed about equally d.
vided as to how the Standard Oil
would meet the wishes of the court.
In the absence of any official state
ment, two plans were heard Of One
was the division of the present or
| ganization into several companies,
each operating in it's own territory.
Another suggested the disintegration
of the subsidiaries of the parent com
pany and the formation Of new or
/ ganization which might acquire all
the physical property of the subsidia
ries and issue new stock. An argu
ment advanced in support of this idea
was that such a reorganization would
be single company and not com
bination.
