WHY NOT GET A GUARANTEE?
Every Article of Merit That is Sold
These Days is Guaranteed-NO
Guarantee Often Means Poor
Quality.

This is very little excuse for any
person to claim that he has been
"stung" on purchase. Fifty years
ago the buyer had to look out, but to-
day is is unusual to find a merchant
who will not return the money for any
article that has proved unsatisfactory.
An excellent example of this kind
of fair dealing is shown by the clean
cut guarantee that the Howell Prather
Pharmacy gives on Dodson's Liver
Tone.
These people tell us that any person
who pays soc for bottle of Dodson's
Liver-Tone and does not find it a
gentle and most pleasant liver tonic,
harmless, but sure reliever of consti-
patton and a perfect substitute for
calomel, can get his money back just
as quick as they can get it out of the
money drawer.
Dodson's Liver-Tone has practically
taken the place of calomel. 1t is abb
solutely harmless, sure in it's action
and cause no restriction of habit or
diet. No wonder the drug people are
glad to guarantee it, while other rem,
edies that initiate the claims of bod
sons Liver-Tone are not guaranteed
at all

Cotton Pla 1ter Tells
How He Won Out.

Edward Neuwirth Of West
Monroe, La, who camehereupon
invitation of the V~icksburg Cot
ton Exchange, delivered a most
timely and interesting address in
the Cotton Exchange yesterday
morning at II o'clock, to a num-
Der of planters and cotton men
and other citizens, and about
fifty negro farmers, upon the
subject of successful cotton pro-
duction, despite the booI weevll
conditions.
Mr.. Neuwirth was aptly intro
duced by Mr.. J. B, Cowan, who
stated that his firm had known
Mr.. Neuwirth for thirty or thir-
ty-fve years, as a most success
f1l planter, and that he thought
a talk by q practical cotton grow
er would be more beneficial than
2 lecture from some experts.
Saying he was no orator and
simply wanted to make a plain
talk on farming. Mr.. Neuwirth
said that the man who makes a
success of cotton growing now, is
the farmer who stays on his
place and looks personally after
the matter. He said that he
had gone through the same Pc
riod of boil weevil destruction in
The years of 1907 and 1908, which
had been gone through by the
planters of this section, and that
every hand on his place had left
him except the aged darkey
whom he had brought along with
him on this visit. This negro
had made three bales of cotton
on four acres of land himself
this year, under supervisors OF
the speaker.
Mr.. Neuwirth stated that in
1909 he had planted 100 acres OF
cotton and he harvested 104 bales
of cotton that season. The speak
er went into details concerning
the methods of cultivation, pre-
pairing ground for planting, deer
blowing and drainage. In the
year 1910, some of his old hand:

ed the fact that he was a success
full planter himself. The speak-
err also discussed at length the
question Of fertilizer, saying that
every man should raise his own
fertilizer, and that RICH now
his cotton land was green with
barley, rye and oats, and that
his hogs and cattle are grazing
upon it.
He sid that when he gets
ready to plant his crops iGcIuding
cotton or corn, he will plow this
under. He had raised cabbage
and tomatoes, roasting ears,
which ne bad marketed in ST.
Louis and he had sold two car
loads Of peas in Vicksburg mar
kat two weeks ago. At the close
Of bis address Mr.. NruWirth was
asked a number Of questions by
q number of the planters in at.
tendance and was given thanks
for his. timely address, which
was a message Of encouragement
to every one present.
In conversation with Mr.. Neu
wirth after his lecture. he sale
that his place is composed Of IS.

the years 1907 and 1908, the con.
dition in West Monroe was some.
thing terrible. The mercantile
interests went down to only three
stores. Now they have twenty
seven good stores, two sale sta
bles, and general prosperity. He
said that the planters and far
mers have gotten away from the
old time credit system and oper
ate on a cash basis for doins
their business. and that to adopt
these new methods was hard 70,
a few years but people were llv
Ing at home and bringing some

weevil asked for assistance,
which he granted, provided they
would farm after instructions.
His experience was that with
these families, each planting ten
acres of cotton, hat they made
six and a half, seven and a half
and eight bales on the ten acres.
All of these families had paid
out, worked harder, and followed
his instructions without the least
trouble. Picking p%unctured
squares is absolutely essential;
poisoning is good when the wee

He insisted upon his hands

Dor he needs. Mr.. Neuwirth
stated that he mnde his 1909 crop

he is again using the tenants sys-
TEN.
As to planning early and late,
Mr.. Neuwirth stated that his
rule had been to follow the laws
Of nature, plant his seed when
the ground was sufficiently warm
to make the cotton sprout. In
1911, he said that he made 17e
bales Of cotton on 10 acres ano

No Measles Reported.

Jackson Miss. Jan. 80 1t is
most remarkable that during the
month of November no deaths
were reported to the Mississippi
State Board of Health from
measles or scarlet fever. AS a
rule both diseases flourish i'm
mediately after the opening of
the school year. While during
the same period "a deaths were
produced by diphther a, Fl being
white children. This disease
caused only 1.5 per cent of all
the deaths. Yet among the
whites it produced 3.3 per cent
of the deaths, while only 0.3 per
cent of the negro deaths were
from this cause, making the
white death rate from this cause
eleven times that Of the negro.
This is unfortunate as d%iphtheria
is a disease responds rapidly to
treatment. If sufficient qoanti-
ties Of antitoxin is administered
early in the disease very few
deaths result from this cause.
The State Board of Health has
established stations throughout
the state where diptheria antitox-
in can be purchased at about one
fourth the cost usually charged.

Let There Be Light!

Holbrook will soon have one of
the most up-to-date electric light
plants on the line of the Santa
Fe. w. H. Clark informs US that
the plans and estimates have
been made and manufacturers
agents will shortly be here to look
the ground over and make bids
for the erection of the machinery
we understand from Mr.. Clark
that some of the material in the
way of poles and cross arms, etc.
has already been ordered. The
board of supervisors awarded Mr..
Clark a franchise at their last
meeting. which was the last week
in May. This is but another step
in the rapid strides of progress
ivism characteristic of Holbrook's
citizens. There is no question as
to the beneficial results to be OBJ
tained from an enterprise such as
this. To the merchant electric
lights mean a vast increase of
business, for where is the wo-
man or anyone else for that mat
ter, who can resist the tempta-
tion of a brilliantly lighted show
window, where goods are attract
lively displayed; to the hotel man
a we'll lighted hostlery means
satisfied patrons who advertise
that house abroad and so it is
with every line of business.
Aside from the personal benefit
and pleasure derived from cleo
trio lighted streets by our citi-
liens and strangers, there is a
moral side and a general upbuild-
ing that will speak we'll for Hol-
brook and strngers will carry the
message afar. There are innum-
cradle reasons why electric lights
viii prove beneficial to Holbrook
and it is we'll to remember the
old admonition to keep your
good eye on Holbrook. "

ELECTION FOR MEXICAN
PRESIDENT OCTOBER &c

Election for president of Mex
leo will be conducted October 26
by the Huerta government, ac-
cording to advices to the Mex
ican embassy. The report said
the date was agreed upon at a
conference between Provisional
President Huerta, Gen
eral Felix Diaz, the cabinet and
representatives of all parties in
both houses of congress.
General Diaz now is expected
to be the leading candidate for
the presidency. Many people
believe however. that General
Huerta also will enter the race,
and It's suggested that Francisco
de la Barra, minister for foreign
affairs in the provisional govern
ment, also may be candidate.
Probably no adherent of the
liberal party, of which the late
President Madero was leader,
will enter the race unless in the
meantime peace has been COM
pletely restored. In the event
of peace, it is regarded here as
almost certain that DIR. Emilio
Gomez, who claimed to have
been elected at the general con-
vention at San Luis Potosi, a
year ago. will become a candi-
date. Representatives from
Mexico also suggest Governor
Venustiano Carranza, leader of
the present rebellion in northern
Mexico, as a presidential possi-
bility, although he has disclaimed
presidential ambitions and an
nounced that his sole purpose is
to establish constitutional govern
ment.
In answer to reports from
Henry Lane Wilson, ambassador
at Mexico City. the naval auxili-
ary ship Glacier, now at Topolom-
bambo, with the gunboat Anna

1t Is Shocking!

Last Saturday evening Mrs.
Chas. Perkins entertained the
ladies of the H. and A. Lodge of
the A. o. of K. at their regular
monthly meeting. Roll-call
found all members present. Mrs.
Perkins had thoughtfully pro-
vided a very secret" meeting
place for the lodge to which she
led them in the dark by devious
ways.
After the regular business of
the evening had been transacted,
the goat feed to keep him well
and strong, and other important
business attended to, the meet
ting dissolved itself into a talk
fest. Soon lunch was announced
and all gathered round the
heavily laden table. To carry
out the motto while the cat s
away. the mice will play" there
were numerous chocolate mice in
evidence, while the truly wick
ed" side of the lodge was shown
forth by the tiny leather cigar
cite cases at each plate, on open
ing which tiny white wrapped
cigarettes were found, made
of milk chocolate, o! fe! The
entire lunch was served on shin
ing tin dishes to match the tin
notification cards which had been
sent out.
All too soon the husbands ar
rived to conduct their erring
wives to the shelter of their own
roof-trees there to labor with
them till the wee sma' hours, on
the folly of their ways in having
a bold bad Lodge of their own
and smoking horrible chocolate
cigarettes!
