FARMING WORK SUSPENDED.
Hot Weather Causes Abandonment Of
Fields.

Jackson.-For the first time within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant in
Mississippi, it has been necessary to sus-
pend farming operations because of the
intensely hot weather.
Reports received here from over the
state during the past few days are to
the effect that there has been a complete
abandonment of farming work because
of the unusual heat, and virtually moth
ing has been accomplished since last
Tuesday.
Varying reports are made of the max
imum temperature, the figures differing
according to the accuracy of thermom-
eters in use, but at no time have the
official reports from government weather
stations showed a maximum of less than
"a degrees during the past week, and
some places report a maximum of 100
degrees.
Numerous heat p%rostrations, which
heretofore have been very rare in Mis-
sissippi, are being received, and in two
or three instances fatalities have re-
suited.

STATE NEWS NOTES
Weekly Budget of News tens Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Jackson.
STATE HAS ADEQUATE FUNDS.
Treasury in Better Condition Than in
Previous Years.

Jackson.-ln view of the fact that
the treasury books of Mississippi at
the beginning Of June showed a bal
ance OH hand of over $1,O55, 600, as COM
pared with 519,295.42 at the same pc
Rod of 1910, and 554 ,726.24 in June,
1908, the state officials are congrat-
ulating themselves on the fact that
while there are some heavy drafts due
on the general balance, which may go
to the throe-quarters of a million be-
fore the end OF August, there is no
likelihood Of being compelled to scoop
the bottom Of the "barT too closely,
There will be the draft on the general
treasury for the amount Of the common
school fund distribution, which is $414,-
696, the distribution of which was made
by the |aiSlitor last week and warrants
for which are already finding their way
back to the treasury, and this, together
with appropriations for summer nor
mails, and for the university, colleges
and institutions, will cut quite a slice
out of the available funds. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be revenues dur
ing June amounting to approximately
100000, which will help to keep the
work of want and s~tringency from the
treasury doors during the long dull
months before regular tax paying time
arrives.
The next general heavy drafts on the
treasury will be that for the meeting of
Confederate pensions, along during De-
cember, which will amount to another
100000, and it may require some nms-
ing Of resources, including the proceeds
of the great bond sale of 1901, which
brought 100000 additional to the reg
ular revenue funds, to meet these war
rants. That is a bridge which is some
little distance away and there is ample
time in which to prepare for the cross
ing.

TELLS OF NATCHEZ TRACE.
Mrs. Dunbar Rowland Contributes q
Valuable Paper.

Jackson.-Among the many recent
contributions to the historical literature
pertaining to the earlier days of Mis-
sissippi, there is none which seems to
possess a more interesting and romantic
touching of color than that which re-
wives the romantic story of the Natchez
trace. Dedicated to the Mississippi So
cicty of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, Mrs. Dunbar Rowland has
recently brought forward in interesting
and easily accessible form her valuable
paper pertaining to the old Natchez
trace, 'the oldest historic highway Of
the lower South" which was published
in volume ri of the qualifications of
the Mississippi Historical Society" In
view of the fact that the Daughters of
the American Revolution are blazing
the way toward securing through the
cooperation Of the several states Of the
lower South, a re-marking of this old
highway, over which from Kentucky,
Tennessee, the Carolinas, and even old
virginia, lHc IOIeIdIHtIS VI NLlS9la9lpply
those who came to the land of the
Chickasaws and Choctaws, the Natchez
and the old Spanish and French set
tiers, ere the period at which statehood
came to Mississippi, this bringing for
ward of the history and data pertaining
to the old trace" seems appropriate
and timely.
The records of the land office, in
which the entire survey Of this old road
is shown, indicate that it passed
through thirteen Mississippi counties, to-
wit: Adams, jefferson, Claiborne, Kinds
Madison, Leake, Choctaw, Webster,
Chickasaw, Pontotoc, Lee, Prentiss and
Tjshomingo.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

II wish to let you know of a couple
Of recent cures which l have made
by the use Of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. - Of this city
came to my office, troubled with a
sewers skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in its worst form. 1t started with a
slight eruption and would affect most
parts Of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and a~bdomen--and would
terminate in little pustules. The itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. I recommended all
the various treatments | could think
Of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
I'm the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a fair trial.
But as l did not know much about
Cuticura at that time 1 was doubtful
whether 1t would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms, l could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths Of Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in a few days she was COM
pletely cured.
II lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -,
and this was two months ago. 1 told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he Is completely
cured through their use. I have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that I am convinced Of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.

Should Report tuberculosis Cases.

Ai~~ ~H~ N'SS'N -
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that the first requisite for a com
prehenslye campaign for the elimina-
ton of tuberculosis in a state or city
is w~ell-enforced law requiring that ev.
cry living case of tuberculosis be re-
ported to the health authorities. Such
reporting is now required by law or
health regulation in 25 states, while
in % states and territories no provi-
sion whatever is made for keeping
record of cases Of this infectious dis
ease. Several cities in non-registra,
ton states, as for instance, Chicago.
Cleveland, st. Louis and New Or
leans, have local ordinances requir.
ing that tuberculosis be reported.
in all, there are about 100 cities in
the United States which have ordI
uances Of this nature.

WHITES SLAYER PARDONED.
Lewis Dennis Restrode His Citizen
ship,

Jackson.-One of the most celebrated
prisoners in the Mississippi p%eniten-
tiary was restored to liberty last night
when Gov. Noel granted Il pardon to
Lewis Dennis, the slayer Of Hon. John
7. White, circuit clerk of Kinds county.
Dennis was serving a two-year term
for manslaughter, and his sentence had
almost expired, The granting OF par
don was for the purpose of restoring
him to citizenship, as he has promised
to lead a moral and law-abiding life.
He was given extra good time for good
behavior.
Dennis belongs to one of the best
known families Of the county, his father
having been for many years a prom
inent farmer living near Raymond.
The tragedy occurred on February 25,
1905, at Raymond, in a little restaurant
kept by a negress named Victoria Ed
wards. Several men in the restaurant
had ordered supper and all were drinking.
The chief defense of Dennis was that
White was advancing on him with a
large tomato sauce bottle appraised when
he drew his pistol and fired. Investiga-
ton after the killing showed that White
was not armed. The two men had al
ways been good friends, and but a few
hours previous had attended the funeral
of Whites sister-in-law, the wife of
Sterling Price, whose body had been
brought to Raymond for burial.
Dennis escaped Immediately after the
tragedy, and was at large for more than
a year, being finally captured in the
home of his father.

view,
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
c~orrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer Pipe
When this pipe becomes clogged Tia
whole system becomes poisoned, cauS
ing biliousness, indigestion and impurN
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailmeRt can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. Il
1 had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by Ntrong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are o tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead Of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel no
dope; they IRE soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
