SPiRAcY CHARGE.

Jackson, Miss, March 23.-Gover-
nor Bilbo gave discharge for meri-
torious conduct to ]. G. Bennett, a
former Jackson newspaperman who
was sentenced to the penitentiary on
charge of bigamy. and for whom par
don has several times been sought.
Reasons for the clemency Sc
forth in the discharge are that the
South Carolina, has made a signed
statement that testimony given by her
at the trial in Yazoo City was untrue,
she having since received information
that she was mistaken in her testi-
mony. Another reason given is that
Bennett served the state by caring for
fellow convicts during an epidemic of
measles in the spring of 1914, and
malaria at the Rankin farm last year
On receiving his documents of dis
charge, Bennett stated that he had no
plans for the future. He reiterated
his former statement that the charges
against him were a frameup, and that
he had never seen the South Carolina
woman who appeared against him,
claiming to have been his wife, until
She appeared 10 testify against him.
Bennett married Miss Alice Wood

FISH HAVE NOW
BEGUN TO BITE

GulfpOrt. Miss, March 24-Coinci
dent with the approach of spring
comes reports of daily catches of fish
both in the sea and in fresh water
streams. And, as usual, like all early
reports, it is not always certain that
the truth is adhered to with any par
ticular strictness.
But while catches may be exagger
ated here and there, it nevertheless
remains that fish have begun to bite
and very large numbers have already
been caught.
In salt water, catches consist main
ly of white trout and what is known
as the ground fish," or "black mul
let" with a fairly good sprinkling OF
speckled trout, while in the rivers
the black bass is falling an easy victim
to the artificial minnow Perch are
also said to be more Or less anxious to
take the luscious shrimp.
Speckled trout usually follow shrimp
in large schools and may be taker
with case at this time of the year
when weather conditions are favor
able. The heavy west winds of the past
few days have not been good for this
class of fishing.

Minister of the Gospei Thinks II His
Duty to Make Statement About
Wonderful Change.

| Ii is seldom, indeed, that men of

the gospel. willingly express their in
debtedness publicly to a proprietary
medicine. However, when a medicine
obtains that singular purity and eff.
cheney that is shown by the uniform
preparation, Tanlac, statements from

thoroughly commensurate with the
good that is actually being accom-.
plished.

FOR the past ten months Mrs.

health, suffering from bad stomach
and kidney troubles. which gradually
developed into general nervous
breakdown. AT times her condition

decided to let her try Tanlac.
Il am conservative man and have

In less than a week from
the time she began taking it she was
able to sit up and is today able to help
with the household duties. Before she
began taking Tanlac she had fearful
pains in her side, and suffered con-
stantly from sour stomach and indi-
gestion and was intensely nervous.
These distressing symptoms, | am
