have any trouble from my back or

Doan's Kidney Pills and get instant
relief. The first symptom of kidney
trouble in my case was pain in my
back, especially severe at night when
l retired from work. I could hardly
sleep, grew thin and had no ambi-
ton. Ny kidneys were disordered,
the ,secretions being irregular in pas

After playing politics on every
possible occasion during the
two and a half months of the ses-
sion, the Mississippi house of rep
resentatives signalized its closing
hours by taking a hand in the
congressional campaign in the
9th district. 1t may have been
all very we'll for the house to pass
resolutions complimenting Speak
er Quin on his faithfulness and
non-partizanship a a presiding
officer, but just why they should
try to dust the game" by recon-
mending him as a fit subject for
congress, it is hard to see. And
in the light of some of the do
ms" of the legislature, if we were
in the Hon. Hilary's boots, we
should be apt to consider "every
boost a knock" coming from that
quarter.-Sardis Reporter.

PRESS COMMENTS
On the Recent Session of
the Legislature.

The Legislature of 1912 passed
into history last Saturday, ad-
journing by the members singing
several old Southern songs. AS t"
the results of thi, session as per
tanning to the welfare of the state,
time can only tell. However,
aside from a number of trivial
laws passed, some good legisla-
ton was done. We believe. on
the whole, it will average up to
the general assemblies of other
states. There is one action OF
that body that will exceed other
legislatures, we believe, and that
is the popular tendency no trim
down all appropriations, for all
purposes whatsoever. Whether
there ewas wisdom displayed in
such action or not, it only remains
to be seen.-Panola Democrat.

Gov. Brewer vetoed the bill pre-
scribing the manner of electing
circuit judges and chancellors be-
cause he did not believe that the
constitutional amendment provid-
ing for an elective judiciary had
been submitted to the voters in
the manner prescribed by law. 1t
looks like it is a far cry to an
elective judiciary in Mississippi,
and it's we'll that such is the case.
Just now the strength of candi-
dates for %judgeships would de
pend less upon their recent afili-
atoms. Until "Vardamanism" and
"anti- Vardamanism" are no longer
accepted as tests of fitness tor

1t is a strange freak that has
induced the people of the great
state of Mississippi, through their
Legislature, to disparage, vituper-
ate, villify and hold up to public
contempt one of their United
States senators. who, whatever
may be said against him, is, as far
as the world knows, a man of hon
or and high character and repre-
sents with credit the people who
denounce him. Let it be granted
that he is no such man of COM
handing ability and shining char
acter and titanic talent as are
Senator-elect Vardaman and Lieu
tenant Governor Bilbo, he is at
least a respectable citizen, and
should be sustained, not bounded
as he has been. The people of
that state are d%iscrediting them
selves by such behavior.-New

FAVOR INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS
Few Breeds Better Suited to Farm

Much has been said through the Diff

favor OF the Indian Runner duck. but
l believe there are few who realize the
possibilities and advantages Of ear
ing ducks Of this breed.
As l have been raising this breed Of
ducks for a few years, l can testify
that they deserve all the praise given
them.
They are not an entirely now vari-

1t receives the name Of Indian" with
the Runner" added to denote its chief
popularity, its rapid movement over

They are great foragers and pick
up innumerable bugs and insects. This
alone should give them an important
place on every farm.
Owing to their extreme hardness, It

They are never bothered with lice,
there are no roosts to keep clean, and
no expensive houses are needed; just

On the eve of adjournment the

On the eve of adjournment the
Legislature authorized Governor
Brewer to borrow the sum OF
5000, 900 to meet probable de-
mands upon the state treasury.
Authority to borrow and ability
to borrowa are two different things,
and it is probable that the COVER
nor will find it difficult to negoti-
ate a loan at a reasonable rate of
interest. Mississippi's credit is
not as good as it might be, and
capitalists will not fall over each
other in a mad rush to tender her
a loan. The Herald is still of the
opinion that the tax rate should
have been raised by the late leg
islature. Any other method of
of meeting the states OBJ
legations is but a makeshift, and a
simple and costly postponement
of the final reckoning.--Madison

The session of the legislature
which adjourned last Saturday
was. when considered as a whole,
a very satisfactory one. As is
usual, no one is wholly pleased
and no one is wholly dissatisfied.
Some acts were passed which we
would have opposed and some
were defeated which appear to us
should have been enacted into
law. The law forbidding corpo-
rations holding land for ~agricultu-
raj purposes is worth all the SEES
sion cost and more. Had the

have been complete.-Okalona
