she had nothing to confess.

and returned a moment later
with Warthen.
The woman looked up at the
lover of the murdered woman,
with the tears streaming down
her face.

said.
"T'm glad you told the truth"
Warthen said. "I'm glad you've

The woman stretched out a
trembling hand to Warthen. He
took it in both of his.
"Will you kiss me?" the woman
asked.
Warthen turned away and
walked unsteadily from the room.

WORLD MAY SEE
 THE BLOODIEST WAR
French Press Insists On Accord Among the Nations and
 Speedy Peace.

Paris, Oct. 18.-Now .that...war in the Balkans has been formally begun, the French press insists upon the neces- sity of complete accord among the European powers.
 The fear is expressed that should coveteousness and antagonism devel- op among the European countries, the world may see the bloodiest war in history.
 Frances efforts to bring about a speed peace should, therefore, it is pointed out, be welcomed by the other countries of Europe. It is believed here that the disposition in favor of peace in Vienna and St. Petersburg is, for the moment, as satisfactory as possible, but it is argued that it would be mistake to be overoptimis tic. @
 The "Fugiero''' is of the opinion that the danger of a European conflict is merely retarded and not suppressed. It believes that the present war will be short, because the financial re- sources of Turkey and the Balkan states are limited and because the Bull garian frontier is such a short dis tance from Constantinople. For these reasons the difficulties resulting from the war should be, expected to crop up five or six weeks from now, and Frances duty, it argues, is absolutely fidelity to it's allies and friend and in- cidentally to prevent Russia and Great Britain from causing any trouble.

tend to equalize interest rates throughout the country. At present these vary from 3-4 and three per cent in New York to 12 and 15 per cent in rural districts. The united reserve agency would fix rate which would be uniform between banks throughout the country, so that the local bank in Mississippi could get funds at much smaller price than is possible now. The rates through out the country probably would vary somewhat, but the variation would be nothing like what it is now; and the small banks would profit equally with the farmers and merchants they serve.
 Commercial activity recognizes no limits fixed by law But the currency and the lending power of banks is limited by law. The medium through which the exchange of these commod- ities is effected is limited The quan- tity of commodities is not. Credit
 shortage is even worse than car shortage. The banks can not prepare for currency and credit shortage by issuing more currency or deciding to grant more credit The Aldrich- Vreeland act might be invoked as to the former, but generally the amount of hank-note currency is fixed by the quantity of government bonds and the amount of credit by the rigid reserve system.
 proper revisiong of our banking law; would work for the greater prosperity of the South, and would aid materially in the easy movement of it's great staple, cotton. It would make it pOs- sible for the banks of the South to take care of the South's business. It would provide abundant funds when they were needed, and would convert into cash at once the Souths greatest source of wealth.

Constipation and Catarrh

lieve me? We'll, whether you would be- lieve me or not it is the truth.
 For many years I have been wrest- ling with the problem of furnishing the public an internal catarrh remedy. Peruna has been the remedy that l have devised and it has certainly re- lieved many thousand people, yes hun- dreds of thousands of people, of chronic catarrh.
 Constipation was my chief difficulty in treating these cases. I often felt that it would be better if laxative element were added to Peruna. feared to do so, however, first because of the number of catarrhal patients who needed no laxative, and second I was afraid of making such a radical change in a remedy that was already doing
 so we'll Thus it was that I continued to prescribe with the Peruna a bottle of Manalin to those who needed lax ative. At last, under circumstances explained in my booklet, I was con- strained to add the laxative element to Peruna. This constitutes what is now known as the revised Peruna.
 Now those who take Peruna will, first, find themselves promptly relieved of their. constipation. Second, the CalaTrn Will gradually disappear. AIlQ once the catarrh is cured the consti patton leaves permanently. Then if you follow the advice given in my book, you will never have to take pills any more. Cathartics and laxatives you can ignore. You will be perna- nently relieved of both your catarrh and the constipation. PER U N A IS FOR SALE AT ALL DRUG STOKES

 Imboden.--W. k. Lane of near Wal nut Ridge, one of the few farmers of Lawrence county that are successful at intensified farmng has made an excellent record this season with his work along the diversified line of agriculture. On a thirty.acre tract he produced in the sprirg 800 bushels of high grade wheat, which he will sell at $1 buahel; he also taled S50 bales of straw, which he sold for 35 cents baIe or S296.S5. In round mum hers the tract of land made him with wheat alone the sum of $500. After the wheat was cut and threshod he planted the land to coWpcas, which made on an average Of ten bushels 10 the acre and one ton of hay. The peas will bring him S20 an acre, or 5000; the thirty tons of hay will bring him Sl5 ton, or S425. Thus il will be readily seen that $500 fer his wheat and straw crop and $1.056 for his pea and hay will total s1,S50 for thirty acres, or more than S61 an acre in one season. Besides this, he will pasture the land until time to SOW wheat. Ap proXimately the pasture will be worth to him at least Sl50 which will swell the grand total to $2,G00.
