T. c. Kimbrough
to be Appointed judge.

The announcement that Governor
Brewer would appoint Hon. T. G. Kim
brough Judge of this judicial district to
succeed Judge Carroll whose term ex-
pires May 1st, does not come as a sur
prise as it vas freely predicted several
months ago that on account of the init
macy that has existed for a number of
years, or since they were classmates at
college together, that Mr.. Kimbrough
would get the plum.
Judge Kimbrough will hold the Aug
ust term Of court in Noxubee, but be-
fore that time the people will pass on
the question as to whether he or Judge
Carroll will preside as judge in the six
teenth judicial district for the next four
years.

CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO! STOP!
 ACTS LIKE DYNAMITE ON LIVER
Guarantee DodSons Liver Tone Will Give You the Best Liver and Bowel Cleansing You Ever HadDoesn Make You Sck

Stop using calomel. It makes you sick Don't lose days work. If you feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti. pated listen to me!
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking it up.

MODERN WAR IS MERClFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound ed Are Given a Fair Chance
 to Recover to Health.

A general impression is that with powerful weapons of great precision greater loss of life and greater pain are caused The view Is almost Cer- tainly inaccurate. The modern bull let. says the Scotsman, unless 1t Is O. the soft-uosed type, is on the whole merciful. and either kills outright or gives it's victim a fair chance of re covery. It does not, as a rule, mutt late.
 The ambulance corps was practical ly unknown 50 years ago. and not only Is aid brought more rapidly to the wounded. but 1t is far more eff fective than in the pre-Lister days. Rapidity of conveyance has increased beyond all comparison. In the pres ent war it is true to say that In many cases men have been lying in Brit ish hospital within 24 hours of re ceiving their wounds If the risk of being hit is greater. the chances of recovery from injury have been i'm mensely increased.

NOT SUCH DEADLY ENEMIES
Bloody Chasm" That Separated Ma tonalists and UIsterites Might
 Have Been Bridged.

As all the world knows, interna- tional war has proved a great concil- iator in Ireland. As a contributor to the Bystander says, you cannot give much attention to the dismemberment of the empire when you are not cer- tain whether you will have an em- pire to dismember.
 There is a geniality about the Ma tionalist volunteer that makes you know that he would rather fight some one else-Germany in this case-than Ulster. A few stories are current that help to show how very ripe Ire land was for conciliation. Not long ago company of Nationalist volun- teers. passing a company of Ulster men, and being uncertain as to the customary etiquette between deadly enemies-saluted In a northern dis trict there was only one field suitable for drilling, and as the two opposition armies wanted it, the owner began bidding them against each other. Northern canniness asserted itself. The commanding officer of one battal- ion approached the enemy, and they agreed to rent the field in common, and use it on alternate days!
 A third anecdote relates that while some Ulster volunteers were drilling Nationalist was seen sitting on a fence watching them When he was questioned by an Ulsterman he ex- plained that his own company had mislaid their rifles and could not drill; but. he added, we were wait ing to see if We could get the loan of yours when you've done with them"

 Washington. Senator James r. Clarke of Arkansas. president pro tenn. ot the Senate. made characteristic speech i'll the Senate Friday, protest ing against the tillbustering tactics of the senators from the cotton states. Senator Clarke characterized the fur ther efforts Of his colleagues to ob- tain relief as "grandstand playing and "a vaudeville performance.
 Congress is confronted by the re- markable situation that neither house has quorum and consequently neither can adjourn. Senator Clarke. who has been one ot the foremost ad- vocates of cotton relief measures gave up the situation Tn despair Friday night and left for his home in Little rock
 When Senator Kern moved for ad. Journment until Saturday Senator Clarke yielded the gavel to Senator Williams of Mississippi and began to speak. He ieNed the efforts mao@ by senators from cotton states to ge, relief and declared the efforts had failed. He deprecated the fact that Congress had not responded to th3 appeal from the South, but asserted that 1t was folly even for Southern senators to continue efforts.
 When the South was confronted with this serious cotton situation through no fault of it's own he said "a number of us banded together and determined to do all in our power tc get this great governmen; to advance us money on our security in cotton We did not ask for charity and neve. will. We made plain the calamitous condition i'll the Sohth and had ever determined to prevent the passage of the war revenue bill to accomplish our purpose.
 When We. Friday. could not rally enough Of our forces to prevent the enactment of the war revenue meas. ure. We had no further hope of get. ting any relief at this session of Con. gress
 For my part 1 propose to adjourn ul o 10 NdltlI day tlleTuOOD ana go home. 1 think the vaudeville in this situation ought to stop"
 While the house was voting on the motion to adjourn Senator Smith re piled to Senator Clarke, declaring Southern members efforts at this time were not vaudeville and that he still has hope Of obtaining action on the bill to license cotton warehouses and to permit banks of national currency associations to issue circulating notes up to 75 and l0r per cent of their uaimpaired capital md surplus.
 Senator Sheppard denounced Sena tor Clarke for referring to the fight for Southern legislation as vaude. vill1.
