j.. N. PARKER IS A
STEADFAST
MOOSE
SOUTHERN LEADER WILL STICK
TO THIRD-TERMERs so LONG
AS KEEP THE FAITH.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 19.-Col. John
NJ. Parker, of New Orleans, leader of
the Progressive party in the south,
accompanied by his brother Judge
nesday, en- route home from the delta,
where he has large planting interests.
Despite the overwhelming victory OF
the Democratic party at the Novem-
Der election, Col. Parker is sticking
steadfast to the Progressives, and
manifests no desire or inclination to
get back within Democratic ranks.
so long as the Progressive party
sticks to the platform enunciated at
the Chicago convention, | am going to
stay with it, and do everything in my
power to establish the organization on
an enduring basis" says Col. Parker.
Our political battles of the future
will be between the Democrats and
the Progressives. The Republican
party can never be re-establshed. 1t
is dead for all time to come. OF
course, it is going to be mighty hard
for some of the old line Republicans
to align themselves either with the
Democrats or the Progressives, but
they must eventually do so.
81 was unable to attend the recent
conference of the Progressive parry
in Chicago, but the proceedings met
with my cordial approval. Two things
will be accomplished in this nation of
ours through the Progressive party.
First, and of vital Importance to we
of the south, it will bring about the
elimination of the negro from
politics, and it will eventually check
the swelling tide of Socialism.
while l yield to no man in my per-
sonal admiration for Col Roosevelt,
the Progressive party is founded on
more enduring than the
mere personality of its leader. 1t
something vital, virile and
and the coming years will
show that it must be reckoned with
n all political contests"

book game, the promoters of which
are alleged by the Government investi-
gators to have victimized wealthy neil
and women in various parts of the
United States to the tune Of more
than $20,000,00O during the past few
years, was given its first hearing in
court today, when William R. Scott
was given preliminary hearing or
charge of having been concerned in
the alleged frauds of the Kelly-Farmer
Company, dealers in de IKE editions
of books. The Indictment against
Scott specifically charges him with
the larceny of 100000 obtained from
Mrs. Ambernette NJ. Crombie of this
city through an alleged rare.book
swindle. According to Mrs Crombie's
statements she advanced $4,000 to
Scott to obtain a collection of books
said to have belonged to Charles w.
Morse $4,000 to obtain rare edition
of Roosevelt's works and $4,000 for a
set of Mark Twain's writings. For
these books, she alleges, Scott told
her a Western millionaire was ready
to pay $150,000 The prospective pur-
chaser, however failed to materialize.

BETTER To TAKE
THAN CALOMEL
Dodson's LiVer-Tone, a Wholesome,
Reliable Medicine That Takes the
Place of Calomel.

Dodson's Liver-Tone strengthens
the liver-it does not drive it to its
work by over stimulating it as Gallo
mel does.
Dodson's Liver-Tone does not have
any of the dangerous after-effects of
calomel. 1t is a vegetable liquid-ab-
solutely safe for either children or
grown people. Everybody likes its
taste.
No restriction of habit or diet neees-
sary
Get a bottle at The Century Drug
Store, soc, and try it. If it doesn't
satisfy you, if it doesn't take the place
of calomel, you can get your money
back by asking for it.

ing to the recent death of the bride 5

was no reception.
The bride has been one of the most
prominent young women in New YORK

dant of General the Marquis de La

A honeymoon out of the ordinary

ter. Early in the spring they will de-
part for Europe to make their future
home in France, where the Count owns

of which is La Grange.

Air Rifles a Nuisance.

For some time past, citizens have
had cause to complain of the reck-
less use Of air rifles by boys about
the town. There seems to be an
unusual number of complaints. One
man remarked to a Herald represen-
tative yesterday that on coming
home he found in the yard " Of
his best chickens that had been
killed by bullets from an air rifle,
or one Of a larger calibre. Another
citizen said that he was walking
along the street on the way up
town and heard a bullet zip past
his ear How easy it would be for
one of these bullets to strike a face
and disfigure it, or even put an eye
out. Boys are boys, they will have
their fun and we want them to have
enjoyment; but when some of these
little fellows wilfully and malicious
Nv kill or MAIN animals and fowls Of
the barnyard, as we'll as endanger
passers by, it is time such a practice
should be stopped.
