Jackson, Miss, March 3T.-Lumber
conditions improving, is the general
sentiment expressed in manufacturing
circles here this week. Inquiry is de-
cidedly better all along the line, espe-
cially for timbers and low-grade mate
rial, though there is some demand for
even the highest class output.
A cheerful feature of the situation,
locally, is the fact that the Illinois
Central railroad is buying track ma
terial in considerable quantities. The
l. c. generally patronizes the mills
operating along it's lines so these are
the principal beneficiaries of it's pur-
chases.
Prices show little change from what
they have been, and there is little
disposition to insist on an advance, in
view of the demoralized conditions
which have been and are still to con-
siderable degree prevailing. Many
concerns are willing now to take or
ders at quotations which they refused
only thirty days ago.

MERRIAM RECALL MAY
BE BROUGHT INTO ACTION

Meridian, Miss, March 31.-The
governor signed the recall bill apply
ing to municipal officers Saturday af-
ternoon, and developments in Meridian
are likely during the next few days,
as the acts of the administration have
not met with the favor of a certain
faction.
1t was rumored about the city sew.
eral days ago that certain interests
were only awaiting the passage and
signature of the recall measure, max
ing it a law, before petitions would
be started to recall officers of the ad
ministration Just which officers this
petition is directed at are unknown
1t is possible that it is directed at all
three commissioners.
Developments along this line will be
watched with keen interest by the
people of the city, number of whom
have often regretted that the recall
measure was not embodied in the orig
inal commission government bill
passed by the legislature in 1912. Al
that time Governor Brewer believed
the recall provision unconstitutional.

to yelled admission made by Maroon

plane to Vera Cruz at once.
Mr.. Maroney would not discuss the
offer at length. If he accepts the

ton of the Bowels.

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But Beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis of
health and the cause OF sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitudes, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce TO this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
1t is important that the condition
should be corrected
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. c. S.

OPPONENTS OF REPEAL
ARE READY FOR FIGHT
Senators to Bring Every Argument to

Forces Led by O'Gorman.

Washington, April 14.-Opponents
Of the repeal of Panama toll exemp-
ton for American ships will train their
heaviest artillery against the admin
istration's fat repeal policy before the
senate comitee on interoceanic canals
this week.
Every possible argument that can
be raised will be brought forward in
the hope of prevailing on the commit
tee to make an adverse report on the
bill as it passed the house, and, fail
ing in that, to lay a foundation for
continuing the fight in the senate it.
self.
Whatever may be the report of the
canals committeeman there is a pos
sibility that several proposed meas
ures may be reported without recon-
mendation-a administration and oppo-
sition leaders conceded that the first
fight will be over an effort to amend
the Sims bill which passed the house.
Champions of the presidents position
insist that there will be no Compro-
mise. They adhere to their confident
predictions that toll exemption for
American coastwise ships will be re-
pealed
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
interoceanic canals committee and
leader of Democratic opposition to the
repeal, plans to make a fOrceful argu-
ment before the committee this week
against the administration position,
on the ground that this government
now is negotiating in its proposed
treaty with Colombia a clause where
by Colombias vessels of war may have
access to the canal free Of tolls. The
clause Is identical with one in a pre-
viously negotiated but never enforced
treaty with Colombia, which Great
Britain approved.
