THE WAGES OF SIN is
DEATH"

No more tragic words were ever
uttered to the erriug human
soul than: The wages Of sin is
death" That nos only applies
to the spiritual man, but it occurs
and prevails with the same force
in physical life. That man or
woman who disregards natures
laws pays tho penalty in this life.
Bad habits, reckless living, dis
honest methods, all have their
Nemesis on earth. This is one OF
the best known IL all laws. Ma
tons are growing wiser, and in
the regulation of their Internal
affairs this Lesson is being taught
every day.
In this state the above lesson
has struck home and into the
hearts OF its citizens as never be-
fore. In 1910 there occurred in
the city of Jackson an event that
marks an epoch in this state.
The Legislators there assembled,
a part of them, listened to the
siren song that always kills; the
majority OF them fell. They vio-
lated their oaths of office; they
refused fatty to listen to the
voice of the people that elected
them. The result was the great
est disgrace that ever befell this
this state-the "secret caucus. y
These words will ring in the cars
of those who betrayed the trust
of the people when life is ebbing
away. Every time they turn
around in this life they are shun-
ned and scorned. IL they or
those who upheld them ever run
for office, this same disgrace will
be flung in their faces.
Just COW it is pitiablc to see
what blasted hopes confront some
of this class. With the election
of judges and other important
offices before them, and just to
know that for all time the door of
hope is closed against them. II
is sad; it is tragic. But when a
man once deliberately betrays a
public trust he can never be
trusted again; he should never
ask to be trusted again; he should
never submit himself To insult
from an outraged people. He
should spend the rest # his life
in good works and in doing his
best to remedy the wrongs he has
We learn there are n few Of
his class who desire very much
hat the people honor them with
some puUlic office. They should
iesist; the people don't want to
be forced TO speak plainly to
them and remind them on the
stump and nj the ballot box that

that he never, in his life, voted

ran for governor and had no OPP

THE BILBO TRIAL AT VICKS-
BURG.

Never in the history of this
state has any incident enlisted
The interest OF the entire state
more than the Bilbo trial set for
to-day at Vicksburc.
\ large majority of the people
are fully convinced that this is a
persecution started solely by Gov.
Brewer.
Just what reason Gov. Brewer
had in such a matter can be solv-
ed only upon the theory that he.
having in hands the entire gov
eminent machinery, is the only
person that can put Bilbo out Of
the race for governor, and, Gov.
Brewer being one of the 'secret
caucus" crowd, desires this very
much. and IL being backed up
by this old ever-present gang.
Such a spectacle has never
been seen as that OF a governor
of this state taking hand in the
court, and aiding and abetting in
dismissing a grand jury to get
another of his liking, and one
that would and did bring in an
indictment against Bilbo and
Hobbs; also the governor putting
up his own money, he says, in |
hiring lawyers to prosecute these
men, although the state gives
him n contingent fund to do so.
But, no. He poses as being
non-partisan by putting up his !
own money Gas if the people can
be fooled like that in this fight,
and following all this, when a.
judge had been regularly APP
pointed he recused himself IRE
signed if you please) on the eve
Of the trial OF Bilbo aud another
Judge appointed, who il a part
ner OF one OF the leading, behind |
the scenes. counsel for the state.
Gov. Brewer is behind all that
and still expects, from his man
ner, to ask the citizens Of this
state to respect him. The peo-
pie of this state won't stand for
such manipulation Of courts;
they have no respect for any Of
fetal who will try il. Governor
Brewer will find out from some of
his staunchest supporters, that
he is making a great mistake in
this. The whole people have
much more faith and condolences
in Biibo to-day than they have
in Gov. Brewer, viewing the sit.
nation from any angle.
Since writing the above Lieut.
Gov. Bilbo was given n chang
of venue To Kinds county, an'
his case will be called for trial a
jackson the third Monday il
June.
IL seems that The attorneys 70

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There Is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an unframed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube il inflamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t Is entirely closed,
deafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh. which is nothing but
an inhamed condition Of the mucous
