SUPREME COURT
TO Be REDUCED
Next Legislature Will Eliminate the
Commissioners, Leaving Three
Judges.
Special to The Ne1Ds.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, Oct 6.-From au-
thentic sources it is learned that
determined effort will be made at the
approaching legislative session to re-
peal the statute enacted two years ago
creating two Supreme Court commits
sioners.
These positions are now held by
Albert II. Whitfield, former chief JUS
tice, and Frank A. McLain, former
member of Congress from the sixth
district, who were appointed for nine
year terms.
The constitutionality of the act was
seriously questioned at the legislative
session of 1910, but the Supreme court
rendered an opinion to the effect that
the lawmakers had the right to create
the offices. For several years there
had been an agitation for the enlarge
nent of the Supreme bench to five
members, but this could be accom-
)lished only through constitutional
amendment, and the legislature de-
cided to create two commissioners
with practically all the powers OF
Judges save the right to vote on decis
ions, and allow the next legislative
body to frame a constitutional amend
ment on the subject
1t is expected that an effort will be
made to provide the elective system
OR Supreme judges at the approach
ing session, and ordinarily it coult
be expected that such a measur
! would provide for five judges, bu
some of the newly-elected lawmaker
have ideas Of economy roamin
around in their heads, and will try

HOW TO TREAT
OLD SORES

The proper way-the only suc-
cessful nay to treat an old sore
is to destroy its source. Not by
dangerous surgical operations or
irritating, " drawing" Plasters, but
by Natures true method of purify
ing the blood and filling the circu-
lation with rich, nourishing proper
ties; then the cure will be aGtur0l
and lasting. We can easily aader-
stand how impurities in the Blood

bodies, and by continually Dis
charging impurities into It keep ike
place open and inAamed u.kl a
chronic ulcer is formed. Nothing
then is so sure to produce a cure
of these old sores as S. SIS. This
medicine is Natures perfect Mood
