Remedy for Cramp.

A sufferer from cramp during sleep
writes that he. found a remedy. He no.
ticed that he never became cramped
no matter how long he mapped in re-
clining chair. These facts. in connec
ton with some physiological considera-
lions, induced the writer to put into
practice the following plan, which has
proved decidedly successful To sleep
upon an inclined plane. This is eff
fected by taking care that the bed
or mattress should incline IL inches
from the upper to the lower part CT the
bed; and for this purpose the lower
feet were cut down SO as to form this
inclination.

Stamina With a Cross

Persons who cannot write their
names are required to use as a sub
stitute the sign OF the cross (X) An
GENTLY kings and mobiles used the same
sign, but not ignorantly 1t was used
by those who could write as well as
by those who could not as a symbol
that the person making it pledged
himself by his Christian faith to the
truth of the matter to which he af
fixed the cross. Hence, although peo
pie now write or subscribe their
names. they are still said to sign.

WILL PURGE PENSION ROLLS
coMMENDABLE ACTION TAKEN In
SEVERAL COUNTIES.
All Pensioners. Both Old and New, to Ap
Pear for Examination at the Coming
Meeting.

Jaekson.-County boards Of pension
examiners in several counties announce
that they will make thorough revision
OF the rolls at their meetings IN septem-
Der, and all old pensioners, as well -
new applicants, must appear in person
Tor examination.
IL regret very much that the revision
IS not to be general" said stat. Auditor
Duncan l.. Thompson, ex-officio pension
commissioner, in discussing the subject
this morning. Il endeayored to get the
legislature at its last session to pass a
law ordering a general revision, but the
measure WAS defeated Howevcr, where
county boards OF examiners desire to do
so, they can order a general revision, and
through this means the rolls will doubt
less be purged OF goodly number OF per.
sons who are not entitled to draw pen
sions'
The pension question was a live subject
before the Last legislative assembly, and
proof positive of padded rolls in several
counties were produced, but the law
makers evidently lacked the nerve to or.
der a general purging. In some counties
it was shown that the law was being
aagrantly violated, and that fully nifty
per cent of the persons thereon hsd
neither the legal or moral right to the
states bounty.
The appropriation fog Confederate pen
sions IS si50,OOO per year, and after re
ecipt of the rolls from the various eoun-
ties after the pension boards meet in Sep
tember Auditor Thompson will prepare
for the annual distribution, which viii
take place in October or November. Il is
not likely, however, that there will b.
sufficient funds in the treasury to pay oil
the pensioners until early in December.
There are now 9,225 pensioners on the
state roll, of which 3,55O are prorated
veterans and 3,94s pro rated widows re-
eeiving about s35 per month. In the
preferred class are 237 pensioners who
receive si25 per year, 53+ in the second
class receiving SIS per year. i3s blind
widows receiving SIS per year, and 597
servants in the pro rated class.

RANKIN FARMERS
KICK ON DIPPING
HAVE DIPPED THEIR CATTLE LONG
ENOUGH, THEY SAY.
MAY BE SERIOUS TROUBLE
sent Up Strong Petition to the Gov.
ernor But Were Informed That He
Had No AuthOrity-Supervis
ors Responsible.

Jackson.-Represenatives of two hun.

neighborhood few miles from Florence
IN Rankin county appealed to Governor
Brewer to give them relief from the en-.
forcement OF the tick eradication laws
out were informed that the governor
had no power to act in the case one way
or another.
There has been strong feeling against
the dipping requirements in that neigh.
borhood since they went into effect about
June. One man has been tried for not
dipping his cattle according to law, but
his suit was not considered . test case
because he had dipped his cattle every
two weeks in vat on his own place,
Despite this fact great Joy was mani.
Tested by the spectators when he won
his case, many of them throwing their
hats into the air and cheering Justify
This demonstration was prompted by
the prejudice against the enforcement
Of the law.
This feeling resulted in q petition
against the enforcement of the law for a
longer period than 100 days, which time
was at first announced as the limit OF
the dipping season in that county.
The petitioners were told at the gov.
ernor's office that Gov. Brewer had nc
power to act in the case. that the las
made it possible for the board of super
visors in each county to enforce the tick
eradication law at their discretion and
when the eradication was once begun in
the county it was under the joint super.
vision of the board oil supervisors and
Of the federal inspector in charge.
You will have to 20 back to your
board of supervisors" the petitioers
were told. The people OF that eommu
nifty are determined to fight the law and
the inspectors are equally determined to
enforce it.
The people assert that they believe
in dipping, but they want to do it at
their own discretion. The main thing
that they are fighting is the purpose OF
the inspectors to contienue the dipping
until December /. Unless something i,
done soon it appears that trouble will
result.

PRIVILEGE TAX NOT VALID.
Chancellor Lyeli Has no Faith IN the

Jsckson.-Aeconling to the belief gen

question of whether the complainaSts

DAMAGE TO COTTON CROP.
Deterioration Has Resulted Chiefly From
Bad Weather.

Jackson.-Deteriorsti Of cotton crop
prospects in Mississippi has been chiefly
due to showery weather, causing rapid
multiplication OF boil weevls
Reports vary - 70 the extent of dam
age from this cause, and in some in
stances are in direct conflict. Ii is evil
dent, however, that the weevil is spread
ing, and will cause considerable damage
to the crop Just at the period OF fruition.
Tho much dreaded army worm which
was the subject of several special bull
letins issued by the state entomologist
has not spread with the expected rapid
ity. On the contrary, in several coun-
ties where it practically destroyed the
crop during the middle of August last
year, the army worm has been found in
but a few fields, and in limited numbers.
