jackson. Miss, Jan. 24.-Represen-
tive Tolbert, of Benton and Tippah
counties, last night gave out an inter-
view answering charges made against
him before the joint legislative peni-
Tertiary investigating committee on
Thursday afternoon, by T. d. Roberts,
formerly an assistant "driver" at the
Parchman convict farm. At that time
Mr.. Roberts accused Mr.. Tolbert Of
having left the brick yard camp, when
he was sergeant there, in the care of
a negro "trusty," to attend dances,
saying that in two instances during
his absence convicts escaped.
Mr.. Roberts, who testified before
the committee Thursday, again went
before the committee voluntarily yes
terday afternoon to correct newspa-
per reports of his former testimony in
one respect. He said the reporters
<'got me as saying that a trusty con-
vict shot another convict to death
while he was being whipped. That is

In an effort to save that of his four
year-old daughter. The child, in it's
play, had wandered out Of the yard
and onto the railroad track near the
house. As the New Orleans Limited
was rushing through the town the
father saw his baby sitting between
the rails playing gleefully with the
shells that formed the ballast of the
road bed He saw that there was no
chance for him to grab the child and
get out of the way, so he jumped
ahead Of the onrushing engine and
almost succeeded in hurting the little
one clear. The cylinder head. how
ever, struck and killed the child as
the pilot hurled the father mangled
and lifeless, fifty feet away. Father
and child were buried in the same
coffin.

Continued Dropping of Mucous
into my Throat.

A severe cough is always grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate or
ganic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough is a functional dis
turbance it is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucous from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to 1t. 1t
is stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh of the
stomach. At any rate, the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland, of Frankston, Texas.
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap-
pear, but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
Tor TWEEN ty-t three years I was a
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. I had a severe misery and
burning in the top of my head. There
was almost a continual dropping of
mucus into my throat, which caused
frequent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became involved,
and my condition grew worse. l had
an incessant cough and frequent at
tacks of bilious collie, from which it
seemed l could not recover. My
bowels also became affected, causing
alarming attacks Of hemorrhages.
Il tried many remedies, which gave
only temporary relief, or no relief at
all. I at last tried Peruna, and In
three days I was relieved of the bowel
arrangement. After using five bottles
I was entirely cured.
IT most cheerfully recommend the
use of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted"

cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

Mill CONSIDER
POTTER MEASURE
STATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
MEETS MONDAY FOR DISCUS
CUSSlON OF BILL.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 24.-The senate
judiciary committee will meet Monday
afternoon to consider the Potter en-
ployers' liability and compensation act
that has created great deal of inter
est throughout the state. At that time
the merits of the proposed law will be
fully discussed.
From what can be learned it appears
that the chief opposition to the bill
is coming from certain attorneys in
the state who fear that its passage
will mean a reduction in the usual
annual number of damage suits.

An important though, for parents,
and for any who haze dealings with
Young children. is suggested ~ the
following taken from stories and
incidents Of child Life
The ineffaceable quality 81 early
impressions and experiences is shown
by a story which VAS related at q
meeting Of m lthers. where the impor-
tance Of the child's earliest years had
been considered The speaker stated
that when a child scaIsaly 3 years
of age she was one day riding With
her parents and a ssrtleman friend
of theirs above the Palisades on the
New Jersey bank OF the Hudson river.
At a certain point they left the car
rlage IN order to obtain a better view.
and as they stood upon the edge of
the cliff the gentleman playfully
seized her and held her out over the
frightful precipice. SAYING snail I
throw YOU over" She struggled and
was placed safely upon her feet.
Possibly her elders may have
thought the incident Of no eonse-
quence. but such was not the truth,
for the speaker went on to say that
she had recently been through ter
1irious for many days. and in her de-
lrium she had suffered agonies Of
terror because all that time she had
imagined herself held out over the
Palisades and had heard a voice say
ing shall | throw you over?'
1t is a startling fact, illustrated by
the story quoted here and impressed
upon us all in many ways as we grow
older. hat we never really forget any
thing which has once been pictured
in the memory, although the contrary
may sometimes seem to be true. Men,
DRY may be compared to a book OF
photographs. with this difference,
that memery photographs never fade
entirely out. hut may be depended
upon to appear at the most uneXpeet-
ed times-brough out in some remi-
niseent mood or flashed upon the
memory by the power Of association
by the working of a troubled con-
science or through some unusua eX-
element, as in the delirium OF FEVER
or in the Quickened mental activity
Of some great Joy or sorrow.
