More snow and more slush, but
It's well, for the snow will benefit
both the grain and the fruit. But
it does look like the north pole
must be getting nearer, we are
having so much of the frozen
north" with us. Maybe the north
pole is moving this way to settle
the Cook Peary controversy.
We see by the Chronicles of the
correspondents, that some at least
have awakened to the value OF the
road drag. And we trust that
shortly every bit Of dirt road in
the county will have some one to
run a good drag over the roads IN
bad weather, which, if properly
done, will benefit the roads more
than anything else possible, at
anyways near the cost. In fact,
we believe in the split log drag
for dirt roads, so much we think
the County ought to institute a
road drag system.
Mr.. ]. S. Manning has moved

Nashville, April 9-Over 1000 people, nearly half of them refugees from the flood area at Ridgley. nine miles below Tiptonville, gre in high places in Lake county today. They are without meat. The stores are no longer habitable and the two story houses are crowded.
 The remainder of the section is out on a hillside without shelter. Stock Is with out provisions. The high water resulting from the break below Hickman did not reach the vicinity of Ridgley until veg terday. It rose then rapidly. Today the mayor of Ridley telephoned Mayor Ar The provi isions will be loaded on skiffs and lernches and taken down the river.

HOLD REHEARSAL
 OF HE K|RMESS Performance Gives Promise
 of Great Success 300 PERSONS IN CAST Will Surpass Anything of Its Kind Ever Undertaken in Birmingham. First Performance Begins
 Tomorrow Night
300 PERSONS IN CAST

The full dress rehearsal for the kir- mess at the Jefferson theatre last night, under the direction of Professor Agostin and his able assistant, P. l.. Iynwood' went with a spirit and an artistic finish that gave promise of splendid perform ance Thursday night.
 Many q ballet troupe has won applause here that was no more artistic than are those Kirmess amateurs. And no scene at the Metropolitan opera house in New York ever discovered to an audience so much beauty, or so much natural grace las were displayed at this dress rehearsal.
 Three hundred persons are taking part in the Kirmess. The opening scene com pines art, magnificence and novelty and was well rehearsed last night. The crowning of the king and queen was im- pressively done and the grand entrance march. with the entire Kirmess cast. was wonderfully brilliant.
 The next scene. night in Japan, was picturesque and "the business was al- most up to the professional standard. Other charming numbers were the gatand and cymbal dances of Ancient RomS; the Pyramid ballet; the Spanish dancers; Roumanian folk dance; scenes from Car men; a lesson in modern filtration Miss Ella Matthews. MT. Bynwood and Miss Mabel wheelock), and the Merry Widow songs
 What little timidity there may have been in the opening numbers at rehearsal disappeared entirely before the evening was half gone.
 There will be another full dress re- hearsal this evening, beginning at 7.S0 o'clock sharp. The first performance takes place Thursday night, the curtain rising at 8:30 O clock.
 The dress rehearsals include the full orchestra, with MT. Davidson at the first violin desk. The music, by the way, is beautiful.
 Birmingham audiences have witnessed many gorgeous tableaux and ball scenes on the stage by local talent, but it is reasonable to say that the Kirmess this week will far surpass anything of the kind ever undertaken here. Professor Az ostini, who drilled and directed Kirmess in Birmingham 20 years ago. is as agile and graceful now as then, and he was in the best of form last night.

COL. ROOSEVELT AND CLARK ARE WINNERS IN ILLINOIS OVER GOV.
 WILSON AND MIR. TAFT
fcoNTTNuED FROM FACE ID

 -----------~-----~--~--- Roosevelt as their nominee for President by more than 100000 majority. The over whelming repudiation of Taft by the re- publicans of Illinois ends the Taft cam- paign for renomination. Wherever legit- innate primary expression has been had, the republican voters have utterly re- pudiated Taft. In North Dakota Taft re- ceived 1516 votes out of total of 67,0O0. In Wisconsin the republican voters re- pudiated Taft's claim by 10000 majority. Certainly no republican leader can longer doubt that an attempt to force Taft 8 nomination, under these circumstances. would be suicide for the republican party. Roosevelt will be nominated at Chicago and will be triumphantly elect ed in November.s
 No Comment From Taft
 At the Taft national headquarters no statement or comment was made upon the results in Illinois. Representative Me- Kinley of Illinois, director of the Taft campaign, did not visit the headquarters during the evening, and his associates said returns were so incomplete as to make an accurate comment upon the re- suit impossible.

Taft Wins Kentucky

Louisville. April 9.-President Taft got nine uncontested delegates to the repub- lican national convention in today's dis trict conventions in Kentucky and Colo nel Roosevelt one. Roosevelt men walked out of the eighth and tenth district con- ventions and Taft men out of the eleventh, in each instance two conventions being held and two sets of delegates to the national convention chosen. Taft got six delegates at yesterdays district conven- ton, giving him 15 uncontested delegates and Roosevelt one. with six seats sub- ject to contest. At the state convention here tomorrow Kentucky's delegation of 26 will be completed by the election of four delegates to represent the state at large.
 Harmony reigned in the Fifth district here tonight. All contests were settled by giving Taft and Roosevelt each half the delegates, which order also will hold good for the district delegation in the state convention. Both Taft's and Roose- velt's administrations were indorsed and four delegates to the national convention were elected with a half vote each, two being for Taft and two for Roosevelt

Hines, Ala.-.I must confess says Miss Eula Mae Bradley, of Hines, Ala.. that Cardui. the woman's tonic has done me a great deal of good
 Before I commenced using Cardui. l would spit up everything ate. had a tired. sleepy feeling all the time and was irregular.
 I could hardly drag around. and would have severe headaches .contin- uously.
 Since taking Cardui, l have entirely quit splitting up what I eat. Everything seems to digest all right. and have gained 10 pounds in weight.
 I still have headaches occasionally, but nothing like as bad as before. l Intend to continue using Cardui until I am entirely we'll.
 You may publish this statement, as other ladies might profit thereby
 If you are victim of any of the numerous ills so common to your sex, it is wrong to suffer.
 For half century, Cardui has been relieving just such ills. as is proven by the thousands of letters, similar to the above. which pour into our office. year by year.
 cardui is successful. because it is composed of ingredients which act spe- officially on the womanly constitution.

Wilson Silent

Buffalo. April 9.-Speaking before the Eilicott club here tonight, Gov. Wood row Wilson, defining the difference be- tween a socialist and progressive, and declaring himself to be the latter, said:
 "Progressiveism is radical: 1t Is fun damental. Progressiveism undertakes to do what every sane nation must do, to tread the paths of experience and to tread them only so far as you can see them ahead of you: not to mak 6 rash, boyish. impossible predictions. Progressivelsm Is the araptation of the business of each day to the circum- stances of that day as they differ from the circumstances of the day that went before"
 When told of the results of the Illi- nois primaries, Governor Wllsos de clined to make any comment.
