GEORGE DARLING
PASTOR 7 CHURCHES

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 16.-That some
members of the clergy, especially
those of the circuit riding class, do
not occupy handsome homes on Easy
Street, is well illustrated by the case
of Rev. George, Darling, of Lincoln
county, who enjoys the unique dis
tinction, and consequent hard labor,
of being the pastor of seven churches.
Mr.. Darling's seven congregations
are. all in rural precincts, Mount Mo
riah, Mission Hill, Sontag, Shiloh.
Bahala, Mount Zion and Rock Bluff,
and he furnishes spiritual consolation
and instruction to about 1900 per-
sons.
The several churches are widely
scattered, and Mr.. Darling has al
ready worn out good horse and bug
gy visiting the several congregations.
His circuit is part of the Baptist AS
sociation of Lincoln county, and he
not only finds time to follow out a
regular plan of visitation to the sew
en- churches, but visits all of the sick
and afflicted, officiates at weddings
and funerals. and performs all the
other clerical duties of his widely
separated congregations.

BUSINESS GOOD
in CITY court

In the City Court this morning
Charles Hines and Susie Hunt, deni-
zens of the Baptist Bottoms" ap-
peared before the Recorder on
charge of disturbing the peace. Their
cases were carried over until tomor-
row, because of the absence of wit
nesses.
Smith Pickens evidently got the idea
that McInnis & Parker, who operate
the Parlor Market, were "easy pick
ing" and proceeded to touch them for
the sum of $1.35 He was arrested
and this morning was given fine of
81 and costs. An extended lecture
was delivered to Smith by Commits
sioner Fuller, with an admonition to
go his way and steal no more. Sew
eral more sidewalk bicycle riders were
fined the usual 81, as were owners OF
vehicles who were arrested for leav-
ing their teams unhitched.
The city now has on the streets the
largest crowd of convicted prisoners
that have been in the service for a
number of months and much good
work is being accomplished on the
thoroughfares that were so much dam
aged by the recent heavy rains.

Blow at Tick Eradication.


The lower house has put heavy
handicap on the work Of cattle tick
eradication in the state by reducing
the appropriation for the support of
the live stock sanitary, board from
$4,000 to $4,000 per annum. =,
This is $4,000 per year less than
the appropriation heretofore availa-
BILE, the legislature of 1910 having al
lowed the board $4,000 per year for
it's work. Santa. ,...., . .-
Members of the body stated that
they asked for an increase Of $10,-
900 per year because of the enlarge
ment of the field of work in Missis-
sippi, in cooperation with the bureau
of animal industry Of the United
States department Of agriculture. The
Federal government has been dupli-
eating every dollar spent by the state
during the past two years in this
work, and the action of the house In
cutting the appropriation down to
1000 per year in reality means that
the expenditure for cattle tick eradi
cation will be 10000 per annum less
than formerly.

Osler isn't the only man Who turns
down old age. In the business world
the young man" is always the one
who picks the plums. 1t is an age of
new thought" new talent" etc., and
the old man is passed by in the race.
One Of the first signs Of coming age
is the appearance of gray hairs. when
you see them, act promptly. WAth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy will
correct this sign, which so often de-
ceives people into thinking that age
is really upon them. 1t is a we'll
known fact that Sage and Sulphur
will darken the hair. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur combines these old-time
remedies with other agents, which re-
move dandruff and promote the growth
of the hair.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize the druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if 1t fails to do exactly as rep
resented.

All Records Broken.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 16-Thursday
was the last day for the introduction
of bills in the lower house, excepting
only revenue and appropriation meas
ures, and hereafter any members who
are seized with new legislative ideas
must get them started on the road in
the upper end of the body.
The house has broken all previous
records this year in the introduction
of bills, the calendar showing total
of 700 introduced, Of which perhaps
ten per cent have been, or will be,
favorably reported from committees.
Nearly all of the important commit
tees are well up with their work, and
it will take but a short time to clear
the calendar of the bills adversely re-
ported, as motions for indefinite post
ponement will be disposed of in rap

An effort was made few days
since to secure the adoption of a rule
prohibiting the consideration of any
bill returned with an adverse commit.

Imagined that they "smelled a
mouse" as a rule of that character
would prevent a vote on several rath-
er conspicuous measures likely to be
returned with unfavorable reports
among them being the Russell bill
aimed at Greek letter fraternities.

PROF. TATE'S VISIT POSTPONED.
Will Visit Schools in Newberry With
County Superintendent April
Is, Il and 10.

Mr. f. II. Aull, county supeTintenQ-
ent of education, makes the following
statement as to heretofore announced
visits to the rural schools in company
with Prof. W X. Tate, supervisor Of
the rural schools for South Carolina:
After conference with Prof Tate,
| have decided to change the dates for
his visits to the schools Of Newberry
county. There are TWO reasons NOV
inc me in requesting Prof. Tate to
make this change. In the first place,
the roads are still in such condition
that il will be almost impossible to
carry out the schedule as arranged.
In the second place, a conference OF
TIE county superintendent OF educa-
ton has been called by the State sup
erintendent of education at Clemson
college for March 26, p and 28. The
work Of the boys corn clubs and dem
onstration agents are to be in connec-
ton with Clemson college, and Presi-
dent Riggs has sent a special invita-
ton to the demonstration agents and
the county superintendents of educa-
ton to meet at Clemson at time men
toned.
This work of the boys corn clubs 1
consider a very important work, and
I have been endeayoring to create in
terest in it in this county, and I feel
that it is my duty if possible to attend
this conference at Clemson college,
and Prof. Tate has kindly consented
to change dates with me to that end.
He has agreed now to visit Newberry
county on Tuesday, April 16, Wednes-
day, April II, and Friday, April 10.
The itinerary heretofore announced
will be observed and notice of it print
ed in the newspapers in ample time.
7 do not think that any Of the schools
will close before this visit.
This change Of dates will not in
terfere with the meeting of the county
teachers association at Prosperity on
March 80, and Prof. Tate will be with
us at that time. l trust this change
of dates will be satisfactory to all OF
the schools, and I am sure We will be
able to make the trip much more cas-
ily."
