10 BOLLS TO THE STALK.


Our clever merchant-farmel
friend, R. L. Foy, brought The
Commonwealth a stalk of his i'm.
proved cotton from Rising Sun,
yesterday, which contains lie
practically grown bolls. The
stalk up to July 18th had 33(
bolls, blooms and squares on it
At least foot of the top limbs
have no fruit at all, the second
invasion of boil weevils punctur.
ing the bolls as fast as they be.
gun to form. The present ap.
pearance of the weevils were sc
numerous that he gave up the
idea of picking them. During
their first appearance he kept uE
with the pest pretty closely-a
record of which we recently pub
lished. Mr.. Foy has about three
acres of this fine variety of cot.
ton this year from which he will
easily get one bale per acre
Notwithstanding the ravages oil
the boil weevils.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS WERE
VERY ENCOURAGING.

The results Of the primary elections
held in Mississippi last Tuesday were
most encouraging to the conservative
faction of the Democracy of our State.
The overwhelming defeat of Lieut..
Gov. Bilbo's law partner, w. A. Ship
man. of Poplarville, for Circuit Judge
of the 18th District, who run behind
each of the other three candidates
leaving the run-of between Judge A.
E. Weathersby and Hon. C. r. Fox
worth-was rather blighting t the
willy candidates prospects for the
Governorship.
But the stab that doubtless came
nearer taking the breeze entirely out
of the sails of the would-be arch-dicta-
tor of political preference in Miss,s-
sippi. was the magnificent race made
by Judge James A. Teat for reelection
as Circuit Judge of the 5th district
receiving a splendid plurality over
his opponents. Messrs. Rodgers and
Luckett.
Bilbo made about one dozen speeches
in Judge Teat's district, pleading with
his followers to repudiate that upright
gentleman. who presided over the re-
cent Bilbo trial atJackson. Bilbo tried
to make the people of that district be-
lieve that Judge Teat had done him
many outrageous wrongs during the
trial, but when they went to the polls
on election day the voters nobly vindi-
Gated the rulings of the able and i'm
partial Judge in a manner that was un-
mistakable in its meaning.
The Bilbo following in the Vicksburg
district supported Hon. w. J. Vollor
for Circuit Judge against Judge E. L.
Brien = but Brien was elected by 400
majority.
Judge w. H. Hughes of the Raleigh
district was reelected by a good ma.
jority over his Bilbo opponent.
Judge J.. B. Eckles of Sardis, Judge
Paul B. johnson Of Hattiesburg, Judge
R. w. Cutrer of Magnolia, and Hon.
Albert W.. Woodward of Louisville.
were each elected by good majorities
over opponents who had the enthusiast
tic support of the Bilbo partisans.
Another singing defeat was that
given ex-Chancellor l. T. Blount by
Chancellor James G.. MCGOWAN, both
of Water Valley. Judge Blount is one
of the leaders of the Vardaman-B ilbo
political faction in that district, and
his defeat, along with that of Senator
A. C. Anderson for Congress in the
End district by I'VE 1000 majority by
Congressman Hubert Stephens, and
other defeats sustained by the enemy
in Tuesdays primaries, are encourag-
ing rays of sunshine in the political
horizon of Mississippi-the brightest,
in fact, that we have been able to OBJ
serve during the past several years.
1t really begins to look like the good
people of our grand old State are
awakening to a realization of the
sacred duty they owe to their once
proud commonwealth, and that they
are not going to permit Theodore G.
Bilbo to be Governor of their State
So mote it be.

THE CASE OF L. L. CANTELOU.
The Ease of [. L. Cantelou, CIaren-

others who have used Chamberlain
Collie. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
He says, AFTER trying a doctor for
several months, and using different
kinds of medicine for my wife who had
been troubled with severe bowel COM
plant for several months, / bought a
25c bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy. After US
ing the second bottle she was entirely
cured" For sale by all dealers.

NOT so STRANGE AFTER ALL

NOT so STRANGE AFTER ALL.
You may. think it strange that so
many people are cured of stomach
trouble by Chamberlain's Tablets. You
would not, however, if you should give
them a trial. They strengthen and in
vigorate the stomach and enable it to
perform it's functions naturally. Mrs.
Rosie Rish, Wabash, Ind., writes,
Nothing did me the least good until I
began using Chamberlain's Tablets. It
is decidedly the best medicine for stom-
ach trouble l have ever used" For
