TUBeRcULAR GERMS
ATTACK QUICKLY
To Prevent Their Inroads, Other serI
Gus Ailments Must Be Con-
quered First.

1t is a well-known fact that germs
of tuberculosis quickly attack people
whose organs are weakened by coughs,
colds and pneumonia, and they attack
in the most unexpected places To
prevent their entrance into the sys-
TEN, 1t is necessary to check that
cough at once. A valuable remedy is
Ger-Rar-Dy Lung Balsam, a prepare
ton that gives real relief by reaching
the seat Of the trouble, restoring the
infamed membranes to their natural
functions and placing the system in a
condition to ward off the attacks of
more serious troubles. --.
In fact, the results from Ge-Rar-Dy
Lung Balsam are really surprising, the
most obstinate cough quickly leaving
after a few hours. 1t is excellent for
children with Group, and an unequalled
remedy for whooping cough. 1t Is
especially valuable in bronchial trou-
bles, throat tickle, asthma and in.

It is sold with the distinct understand

petitors among dozen boys who VIII
cultivate an acre Of ground each for
the growing of corn and sweet pota-
toes.
The letter, explaining the scheme in
detail, is as follows:
my Dear Mr.. Powers-You will be
interested to know that following the
establishment of demonstration farm
here at McComb, we have devised a
practical scheme for cooperating the
work of the farm and the school.
Twelve boys. ranging from the Sc
noir class down to the eighth grade,
who are interested in agriculture, have
been selected and have obligated them
selves to cultivate under the direc-
ton Of Mr. Brumfield one acre of land.
One-half is to be planted in sweet DO
tatoes and the other half in corn.
"Mr. J. X. Bum agrees to buy the
potatoes at guaranteed price and
to give cash prize of $25 to the boy
ptOuuSih6 ehO ioi 6Cbt ylclu MI. II. %.
Holmes agrees to do likewise with re-
gard to the corn, while two other citi-
zens give second prizes of $40. The
rules and regulation governing the
contest will be formulated at once.
This scheme is not materially diff.
ferent from that used in corn club
and tomato clubs, the unique feature
being its application to the city school
This means we will operate this de-
partment in the interest of the boy
who has agricultural tastes, just as
we cooperate with the railroad with
regard to boys who have mechanical
or engineering turns.
"The boy who continues this work
through his high school term will have
his direction leading straight to the
agricultural college, and fitting him tc
enter appreciatively into the work Of
that institution without loss of time
or interest"

al legislature, of the gratitude he felt
toward his friends for planning a cele-
oration in his honor in jackson next
thursday night, and other subjects.
He said:
VI course 1t is very gratifying to
me TO see that my friends have
thought enough of me to hold the rally
on the 9th. 1t is but added proof of
the love and esteem in which they
mold me, and should be much less
than the man l am were unmoved
oy this manifestation of love.

my life to the service of the people of
mississippi and America. Much needs

able to accomplish in the interest of
the trusting, loving people who have
elected me, will not undertake to
even predict, but all I have of mind,
heart and body and soul shall be con-
secrated to their service"
Asked If there were any special
measures which he intended to de-
vote his time to in particular, he said:
"On the tariff question I am Demo.
cratic. l stand for tariff for revenue
only. In the matter of improving and
leveeing the Mississippi river, shall
90 all that lies within my power to
bring about government control and
protection from the devastations of
that stream"
Asked his ideas regarding Pearl
river, that runs near Jackson, he said:
"Of course this is a matter of local
Importance, but there are streams in
the state of Mississippi that ought to
be deepened and navigation improved
Pearl river, for instance. If that
stream were in the states of the North,
East or Middle West, it would be nav
1gable by the use of locks and dams
all the year around"
Discussing the fifteenth amendment
to the Federal Constitution, the SEN
atorelect said:
Il shall do what lies within my pow
er to bring about the repeal of the fif-
teenth and the modification of the
fourteenth amendments of the Federal
Constitution of the United States. The
prosperity of the South, the perma-
nency Of American institutions, and
above and beyond all, as high as the
sun hangs above the earth, the purity
and integrity of the white race de-
mands that this shall be done.
II shall do all that can to curb the
spirit of militarism that seems to be
running mad in America. I am op-
posed to the great standing army, and
further am opposed to the needless
squandering of the peoples money in
building battleships.
II do not think I am impractical in
politics, but trust that have vision
and am not averse to being charac-
terized as dreamer.I would like to
see America take the lead and write
more of the spirit of the Golden Rule
in our laws and less of the damnable
spirit Of the rule of gold want to
see the government conducted in the
interest Of the people, rather than have
the people exploited by the govern
