THERE'S NO SENSE
IN TAKING CALOMEL

Dodson's Liver Tone will fix up
your liver safely and won't knock
you OUT day. A man feels very
little like working and child
don't want to go to school when
bilious or constipated. If you try
calomel to cure you. the chances
are that you will be SO weakened
by its after-effects that you will be
laid up for two or three days more.
So we say Don't take Calomel.'
You can get perfect remedy to
take the place of Calomel at the
King Drug Co. that is guaranteed
to relieve constipation and liven up
the liver just as quickly as calomel
but without any of the bad after
effects of calomel. The name of
this medicine is Dodson's Liver
Tone. 1t is pleasant tasting veg
etable tonic that mildly stimulates
the liver and causes it to work
just right without any danger of
salvation. If it doesn't fully sat-
isfy you, you may have your
money back from the store where
you bought Dodson's.

A meeting is. hereby called to be
held at the Court House on Satur-
day, July IL, at 2 o'clock p. M.
for the purpose of considering the
matter of Tick Eradication. In
view of the fact that farm condi-
tions are not as prosperous as they
should be. it behooves US to thor
ou2hly consider every proposition
that will probably aid US in our
efforts to better our condition.
The prices now prevailing for
both milk and beef cattle justify
Us in our efforts to improve our
stock. Until we get rid of the
ticks we can have but little hope of
getting the best blooded stock on
our ranges.
Now, my dear reader. if you be-
lieve in tick eradication, in better
stock. in better times, this means
you are wanted at this meeting.

SAD CATASTROPHE AT PICNIC.
One Man Seriously Hurt and Others
Suffer Minor Injuries at
Prices Mill.

Bogue Chitto, Miss, July 81
One man suffered probable fatal
injuries and five other persons,
including two children. were more
or less seriously hurt yesterday
afternoon when the understructure
of the Prices mill gave way, pre-
cipitating a crowd of July Fourth
picnickers into a creek ten feet be-
low. George Delaughter, the man
most seriously hurt, was caught
under some heavy timber and held
beneath the water for several min
utes. A horse attached to bug
gy, from which a few moments be-
fore number of children had been
taken, fell through the ruin of the
floor, dragging the buggy after
him and lighting on the timbers
across Mr.. DeIaughter's body.
These, it is believed, prevented the
man from being crushed to death,
though the force of the horse's fall
resulted in injuries which will
probably result in his death.
Included in the list of victims is
John Reed and his two children,
who were struck by falling cross
beams and supports. The other
two victims suffered minor injuries
and bruises.
The crowd, which included per-
sons from Bogue Chitto and the
surrounding section. gathered in
the field near Prices mill. an
ancient structure, for a picnic ar.
ranged IN celebration of the Fourth
of July. Late in the afternoon a
storm swept over this section and
the pleasure seekers were forced to
the mill tor protection from the
rain. TheItax placed upon the
building, however, was too great
and the central arch spanning the
creek, over which the largest part
of the crowd was congested, gave
way with a crash, carrying it's
human freight down to the still,
deep waters of the creek ten feet
below. a
The work Of rescue was imme-
diateiy started and score or more,
many of them women and children,
we're fished from the stream. Then
the timberS were dragged out and
Mr.. Delaughter rose to the top of
the water. He was quickly brought
ashore and after superficial ex.
animation rushed to this place for
medical attention. Attending ply
sicians hold out slight hope for his
recovery.

Judge 7. n. Campbell, Of YazOO
County.

1t Is conceded by everybody who
knows him, lawyer. physician.
merchant and farmer, and all
others without regard to their bus
mess or calling, that Judge 7. H.
Campbell is eminently qualified for
the Office Of Chancellor Of this Dis
trict. He is lawyer Of thirty
four years. active practice in the
Chancery Court almost exclusively.
He is a man of family and Of ma
ture years, in the very prime of
life and vigor. He is not politi-
clan, and in this he may be at a
disadvantage. His modesty does
not allow him to ''blow his own
horn.' His home people are for
him almost to a man. Judge
Campbell has recently been trying
to meet the people of Lincoln coun-
ty, taking advantage of public
gatherings. At the beginning of
the campaign he was called upon
by the bar and people of his county
to hold term of the circuit court
on account Of the illness of the reg
ular Judge. This took up some of
his time His large law practice
had to be attended to as he earns
his living in that manner, not be-
ing wealthy. Judge Campbell has
made many friends in Lincoln
county already. He is a courteous,
refined, high-minded gentleman.
and impresses those who meet him
as being we'll qualified for the posi-
tion he seeks.
Since Judge Campbell has been
In the county he has visited num-
ber of communities and from all
reports he has received much en-
couragement. He spoke at Rocky
Bluff School and Prices Mill on
the fourth. He expects to continue
his visits with the hope that he
will meet as many people as posi-
BILE before election
The writer, having lived in
Yazoo county, has known Judge
Campbell for many years, and the
people of Lincoln county could
choose no cleaner, no more able or
capable lawyer for the important
office of Chancery Judge than this
excellent gentleman.

T. H. CAMPBELL SPEAKS.

In the afternoon Mr.. T. H.
Campbell. who is also candidate
for the Office of Chancellor, appear.
ed on the scene and addressed the
voters in the interest of his candi-
dacy. He started out by saying
that he objected to being called an
old man and wanted it distinctly
understood that he was not running
on his good looks. He discussed
the common law as we'll as our
present statute law and their con-
nection with our present Chancery
Courts. He. too, was in favor of
the elective judiciary and believed
that the people could be depended
on to elect their own judges.
Judge Campbell claims to be pecu-
liarly fitted for this position by
virtue of his long experience in
Chancery practice, having been an
active practitioner for twenty-f five
years. He made a strong appeal
to the voters for their support on
the grounds just stated.

some had said that he was a young

as old as Alexander was when at

the entire world as old as Napoleon
was at the time he had conquered
the armies of all Europe: that he
was as old as VIM. J.. Bryan was
when he made his famous speech in
the Democratic Convention at Den
yer, whose oratory and magnetism
threw the convention into stam-
pede, thereby causing his nomina-
tion for the Presidency of the
United States. He said that his
eight years experience as a prac-
titioner at the Kinds county bar in
handling civil matters and in fight
ing the blind tigers and houses of
ill-fame and all other lawlessness
at the Capital City of our State,
had somewhat qualified him for the
position of Chancellor of this Dis
