TO A|L|NC WOMEN.
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many
a Sufferer in Grenada.

No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off in the
secretions when the kidneys are well,
are retained in the body when the kid
neys are disordered. If the kidneys
and bladder become iniamed and
swollen worse troubles may quickly
follow. This is often the cause of
bearing-down pains, lameness, back
ache, etc. Uric poisoning is also fire
quent cause of headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness and rheumatic
pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that has proven
effective in thousands Of such cases.
Let a Grenada woman tell of her ex-
perience.
Mrs. D. B. Phillips, SOB Second ST,
Grenada, says: "Doan's Kidnep Pills
are certainly a fine kidney medicine.
My experience with them warrants my
recommending them to others as the
one reliable medicine for backache and
other troubles, caused by the kidneys.
Their use has saved me a great deal of
suffering from these complaints"
Price soc at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Phil
lips had. Foster ilburn Co., Props.

Petition for Pardon.

To His Excellency, Hon. Earl Brewer.
Governor, Jackson, Mississippi.
Dear Sir:
We, the undersigned citizens of Gre
NADIA county, Mississippi, respectfully
pray that you pardon n Ben Bland,
cOlOred, who was convicted of rape on
the person of a negro woman in this
county at the January term of the
Circuit Court, 1906. There are certain
facts and circumstances connected with
the case that at the time of BANDS
conviction shrouded the affair in doubt
and especially made many white people
seriously doubt his guilt. Since his in
generation. he has made a good pris-
oner and is getting old and feeble. 1t
will not be long, should he remain in
prison, before he becomes a charge on
the state, all of these things being con-
sidered, we think that the ends of JUS
tice has been met and most respectfully
ask that you issue pardon for him.

John S. King and others.

There has come to my mind a legend.
A thing ! had half forgot,
And whether ! read it or dreamed it,
All, well, it matters not.
1t is said hat in Heaven, at twilight.
A great bell softly swings,
And man may listen and hearken
To the wonderful music that rings;
If he puts from his heart inner chamber
All the passion, pain and strife.
Heartaches and weary longings
That throb in the pulses of life;
If he thrusts from his soul all hatred,
All thoughts of wicked things,
He can hear in the early twilight
How the bells of the angels ring,
And | think there is in this legend,
If we open u eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning,
My friend, to you and me;
Let US look in our hearts and question,
Can pure thoughts enter in
To a soul if it be already
The dwelling of thoughts of SIM
So, then, let US ponder a little,
Let US look in our hearts and see
If the twilight bell of the angels
Could ring for you and me.

Why a Watch Goes WrOnq.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
People who wonder why their watches
occasionally exhibit vagaries may be
Interested in the paper which j. j. Sha",
who assisted the late Professor Milne
in the seismographic work, has commu-
nicated to the Royal Astronomical So
ciety.
Tests have shown that a watch which
normally varies only to the extent of a
second a day may gain or lose d quar-
ter of a minute in the t~wenty-four
hours if it is hung up on a stand or a
hedpost. The angle at which it hangs
is also a factor. Mr.. Shaw also sug-
gested that the well known fact Of a
watch keeping bad time when worn by
some enc else than the owner is not
due to bodily temperature or animal
magnetism, as is generally believed,
but to the different rythm of motion.

Petition for Pardon
To His Excellency, Hon. Earl Brewe

To His Excellency, Hon. Earl Brewer,
Governor, Jackson, Mississippi:
We, the undersigned citizens of Gre
NADIA county, respectfully petition your
Excellency that you pardon Sam Beck,
convicted at the January term of the
Circuit Court of this county in the year
1910. We are of the opinion that had
anyone taken any interest in the cause
of this negro that he never would have
been convicted. He submitted his case
to the Court and took a sentence for
manslaughter. He killed the other
negro about his (Sam's) wife; the kill
ing occurred in Beck's yard and the
other negro was armed at the time.
Had the affair been between white
people we do not believe the courts
would ever have taken cognizance of
the case at all. Up to this time, the
time of the killing, Beck had been a
good, hardworking negro and had never
before been in trouble of any kind.
For quite a long while he has been one
of the TRUSTEES" at Parchman farm,
and as VIZ understand has made a we'll
behaved, obedient prisoner and W. be-
lieve the ends of justice would be
served and that you would be rendering
a good service by giving him his liberty
and we most respectfully urge that you
do so. Very respectfully,
r. V. Mason.

The New Birth.

Men need not die again to rise
With resurrection in their eyes,
If but the selfish spirit dies.
We need not wait for birth above
Some dreaming prophet tells US Of,
While we have hearts and men need love.
Who thinks a thought for other men,
Who lifts a brothers burden. then
Is with his brother born again.
A resurrection | behold
More tender than the vision old
Of skies of blue and harps of gold
No stored sphere, no tabled land
A resurrection here at hand
The simplest soul can understand.
The men are learning more and more
The greater lesson, later lore,
The thing they were created for:
The new idea, the broader birth,
Turns tears to joy and pain to mirth;
The New Idea girds the earth,
We shall not rise who seek to rise
For our own selves, to sainted skies,
While round about us sorrow hes.
Nay, we shall rise by kneeling near
Some brother soul with song and cheer
Shall rise by bringing heaven here.
