claims to confidence for the results set
forth therein, even should the relia-
bility of the theory of the cost of pro-
duction be conceded.
Those persons who are willing to
overlook the lack of theoretical
soundness and of statistical accuracy,
will find the data of the report too
fragmentary and incomplete to admit
of conclusions with reference to rates
OF tariff duty. Even under the most
favorable Interpretation of the report,
conclusions as to duties can be
reached for only few paragraphs of
the wool schedule, and for these para
graphs it is not possible to formulate
definite conclusions, because the fig
ures vary widely, and seriously lack
uniformity and compatibility So
much is this the case that justification
is apparently afforded in the report
for rates that are in conflict with one
another. 1t is thus seen that the re-
port leaves the question of the tariff
duties on wool as much unsolved as
tefore the Tariff Board was formed.
so far as conclusions can be drawn
from the boards report, it furnishes
nothing to Justify any change in the
rates proposed in the present bill.
I'm making the computations from
which have resulted the rates as justi-
fed by the Tariff Boards data, the
most expensive and difficult conditions
indicated by the data as attending pro-
duction have been employed with
view to being more than just in the
conclusions. The necessity of protec-
tions to equalize the difference in the
cost of production beyond the rates
carried by this bill exists in but few
instances, and these are in all proba-
bility the result of high costs which

Easy Way For Them To Get Strong
And Fat.

To the thin and weak The Century
Drug Store has a word to say Let
them use Samose, the wonderful flesh
forming food, that is now so popular
and they will soon be plump and rosy
Samose is not an ordinary medi'
cine; it is a fiesh-forming food that is
adapted to the most delicate. Its
tonic effect gives strength and health
so that after its use for short time,
all the flesh and fat producing ele-
ments in the food will be easily assim-
Hated and retained by the body.
The large sale Druggists, The Cen
tury Drug Store have had on Samose
since they first introduced 1t in Hat
tiesburg and the wopderful results fol-
living its use have made them such an
enthusiastic believer in its great mer-
its that they give their personal qua
rantee to refund the money if Samose
does not make thin people fat and re-
store strength and health.
When a gain in weight is noticed
after Samose has been used for a week
or ten days, and health has improved
and you notice yourself growing
stronger, you certainly should feel
more than satisfied with what you
have received from the small cost of

Jackson, Miss, March 27.-There
Will not be a Presidential primary in
Mississippi for the selection of dele
gates to the Democratic national CON
vention, or to determine the state
preference for the party nomination.
This statement is warranted by a
careful poll that has been made dur
ing the past few days among mem
bers of the Democratic state execu-
tive committee. A majority of the
members of that body have finally
made up their minds to stick to the
district and state convention plan,
as outlined in the Mississippi code
and the suggestion of the legislature,
as made in a resolution adopted at
the recent session, that a primary be
called, will be ignored
The chief objection offered by men,
bers of the state committee is that
there are no funds available to de-
fray the expenses of holding a pri-
mary, and they do not believe there
is any likelihood of party patriotsm
being stimulated to the point where
sufficient voluntary contributions can
be secured for this purpose.

with the plan suggested by the legisla-

much sentiment has always been aroused against
