RAINS DAMAGING
COTTON AND CORN
TOO MUCH MOISTURE, FARMERS
SAY, is FALLING FOR 0HoW
ING CROPS.

The incessant rains which have been
general throughout the State, are in
turing the cotton and the corn crops,
farmers say.
The cotton crop is at that period
of its growth when it needs an album
dance of hot sunshine, and very little
of this element has contributed to its
growth in any section of the state dur
ing the past ten days. AS conse-
ouence. the plant is taking on rank,
weedy growth, and it is feared that
the boil weevil infestation is going to
be unusually heavy, frequent showers
always making the insect pest more
numerous. There is also danger that
the fields will become swamped with
grass. for this is the season when
rapid cultivation is essential.
The corn crop has also sustained
considerable damage because of the
FREQUENT showers. Ten days ago
corn crop prospects were nothing
ing short of ideal, but there has UNI
questionably been a decided deteriora-
ton because of excessive moisture.
and it is feared that rotting in the
ear will soon set in.

SALTS IS FINE FOR
KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when BACK
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

No man or woman who cats meat regtf-
larly can make mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores 30 they
sluggishly filter or strain only part OF
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or If the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take a tablespoonful IN
a glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
b;ned with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine 30 it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis-
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
ney complications.

The chancery election to designate
a successor to Judge j. Morgan Stew
ems, of Hattiesburg, recently made as
sociate Justice of the Mississippi SUI
preme Court, is passing off quietly in
Forrest county today
A fairly good vote had been polled
up to 3 O'Clock. 1t was as large as had
been expected, although general in
terest in the election has been lack
ing somewhat.
In Hattiesburg, the voters merely
went to the two polling precincts, cast
their ballots, and left. Nothing re
sembling the election of last summer
was noticeable, and the outcome Of
the voting today is not causing the
speculation that had been expected.
I'D to noon, 354 ballots had been
cast at the voting stations at the
city hall and the court house. The
former had received 1GG ballots at
that hour, and the latter 1873.
The voting will continue till 6
o'clock when the ballot boxes will be
closed. It will be an easy matter to
count all the ballots, owing to the fact
that there are but three candidates
in the race. BY 10 o'clock, definite
idea as to the victorious candidate
will have been gained.

CONFLICT
ON LUMBER MARKET
MANUFACTURERS AND MILLMEN
AGREE, HOWEVER, THAT
PRICES ARE UNCHANGED.

The yellow pine market in South
Mississippi is somewhat mixed with
conflicting reports. Some manufac'
turers report that business has been
dull for the last week, while others
say there has but little change taken
place. All agree, however, that prices
are about holding the same.
There has been a fairly good busi
ness in dimension and long joist and
heart timbers, with very fair prices.
No. . boards has had some call with
an advance of about 80 cents. Mixed
cars and. quick shipment is still the
order of the day.
Business is not being done in any
great volume The orders mostly are
coming from little yards, who are pur-
chasing two, three and four carloads
of mixed lumber. Inquiry continues
fairly good with two or three good
feelers in the market, but nothing out
of which any great amount of bus1'
ness can be secured. An inquiry for
$4,000 feet of long jOist was received
in the market during the past week.
Mills continue to run on full time
and some mills which have been shut
down several months have resumed
operations. Weather conditions have
been rather bad throughout the dis
trict Heavy rains have fallen in the
past week, which has somewhat de-
layed shipments.
Orders accepted in this territory are
taken without reduction in prices, eX,
cept in few isolated cases. This has
given a feeling Of optimism to the
market and the trade feels that there
will be renewed activity next month
The market has a strong undertone
and exhibits no indication of a de
cline, but rather hardening tendency
to improve. The frequent requests
| for quick shipments had led the lum
bermen to believe that stocks have
been allowed to go below the danger
point
The situation generally continues tt
show gradual improvement. Som'
mills are reported to be operating
night and day to accommodate orders
while others are still curtailing to
certain extent, preventing accumulat
| ed stocks.
