If BACK HURTS USE

Eat Less Meat II Kidneys Feel Like Lead

Most folks forget that the Kidneys, like
the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and
need flushing occasionally, else we have
backache and dull misery in the kidney

twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleep

You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney region,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any good drug store here, take a table.

The Revolt in the House.

All the Democrats on the foreign af-
fairs committee OF the House of Repre-
sentatives want President Wilson to
warn Americans to keep off armed yes
sells. After conference with him to-day
these members threaten to adopt res
olution expressing this view unless he
yields to them in private audience. The
sentiment among Democrats in the Sen
ate is not so strongly on that side, al
thought somebody there will undoubted-
ly introduce such a resolution, and it will
get some support.
All this ought to be illuminating to those
people hereabouts who have been per-
sstent that the United States should
get into the war on the side of the allies.
The Herald has steadily old them that
regardless of the merit of their condition
American public sentiment would not
sustain such course, and that any pres
ident who adopted it would find himself
checked at the start.
In spite of all his vacillation and I'M
certainty. President Wilson has taken
far more intelligent attitude, in the light
of international law and its precedents,
than have the members OF his own party
in Congress. Between them on one hand,
and such a secretary of state as Bryan
on the other, he has surely had occasion
TO wish himself "a man without a party"
All this is further illustrative of our
lack OF a policy as a nation in our world
relations. As a people We have mo mind
of our own" as the president of Amherst
college asserted in recent speech. Mr..
Bryan has a mind Of his own, and 30 has
Hoke Smith Of Georgia, and Senator
0'Gorman OF New York, and the blind
senator from Oklahoma. And upon them
all, in greater or lesser degree, President
Wilson, as head Of the Democratic party,
must depend.
Verify, Germany finds strong allies in
the Democratic members Of Congress. Z

Won't Somebody Help Carnegie Pie

In the March Woman's Home Compan.

in dire need, as result OF his practice
of giving to charity. He has given away
$3.50 100000, and has only S2O,000,OOO

Everybody talks about Mr.. Carnegie's
condition, but nobody moves. That is,
practically nobody. A man named Mar

contributions for Mr.. Carnegie. A small

fact that he never promised to forward

A DOUBLED RATE
Sought for Transportation of Milk, 1t Is
Declared.

Auburn. Maine.

Boston, Feb 25.--The claim that the
Boston & Maine railroad was seeking an
advance of 100 per cent in its rates on
cream was made yesterday at the inves
tigation by the interstate commerce com
mission into milk rates in New England.
1t was shown that the present tariff
on cream, which is the same as on milk,
is 1892 carload for a haul of 1856
miles. Attorneys for dealers brought out
that the Boston & Maine had asked for a
rate of Sl02.23 on a carload of cream
for the same distance.
Charles NJ. Burt of the Boston 4 Maine
stated that the new rate was not too
high as the present charge was far below
the point where it would give the com
pany revenue on this business.

From Port Gibson the freight on cotton
was $l.00 bale; the same rate for pas
sengers. The Gulf town reci6yld large
trade from the residents of Port Gibson,
and was its rival, commercially and polit-
ically, and made strong contest for the
county seat. 1t reached its height of
prosperity in the early sos, when it..con-
tained about $500 inhabitants; had two
banks, two newspapers. stores hotels,
and other place of business, cotton
compress; and here ships were loaded
with cotton and cleared direct for Liver
pool. The principal Atreet of the model
little town was graded; it possessed hand
some houses, and was noted for its wealth
and refinement; the interior was becom-
ing thickly settled with prosperous and
wealthy planters, and the bright present
indicated its growth to large and pros
porous city. But the Hand of Fate di-
rected otherwise. The frequent caving Of
the river bank. upon which the principal
business houses were built, checked the
growth of the town, and, in some cases,
bankrupted the owners, their houses,
with their entire contents, being swept
into the whirlpool.
After each successive caving, the town
was "moved back" and houses were
built on the new "river 'front.'" But
these cavings were go frequent, and ruin
ous, that, gradually, the growth Of the
town was checked, and its decline began.
At the beginning of the War Between
the States, in 1851, ita. population had
decreased to about 1900.
A Westward shift in the course of the
river left q part of the site of the town
in the river, thus forming and island.
What the river had left undone toward
the total destruction Of the once pros
porous town. was now accomplished by
Federal vandals. In May, 1862, bat
terry under the command of Captain
George Ralston, was mounted on the bluff
to protect the town. On May 26, the
Federals landed . detachment Of infantry,
which was repulsed. On June 26, the
Confederate battery, having been
strengthened, repulsed attacks Of the gun
boats, "Wisechicon" and "Itaska'
But, the Federals landed strong force,
defeated General Bowen, and, by q flank
movement on Bayou Pierre, compelled
the evacuation Of the town by the battreiel
and their support. The Federal incen.
diaries then burned the town.
The place was partly rebuilt, but il
never recovered from these disasters, and
continued to decline until there now re.
main only one store and few residents.
All that remains Of the original Grand
Gulf, is the graveyard on the hill where
rest in eternal sleep the loved ones oil
generations ago.
Tensas gazette., 1916-01-21

Grand Gulf is one of the earliest settled
towns in Mississippi, and its history per-
haps the most tragic. 1t prospered de-
spite the several cavings of the bank
which engulfed a number of the business
houses in the whirlpool, and its destruc-
ton by Federal incendiaries. After each
successive "cave in," the town moved
back and was rebuilt. But its decline
dated from the absorption by through
line, of the little railroad that ran from
Port Gibson. This was one of the first
railroads built in the State, and it gave
Port Gibson an outlet to river traffic.
From this date, about third OF q century
ago, its business decreased, and gradually
the once prosperous town of about $500
inhabitants, declined into "settlement, "
of few residents and one store.
The history of Grand Gulf dates back
for more than a century.
Francis Bailey, travler, who came to
this section in a trading boat, wrote in
his "Journal of Tour"
"wednesday, May 10th, 1877, we came
to this perilous vortex, (Grand Gulf,)
which is the most dangerous place in the
whole navigation of the Mississippi. The
river here is thrown up with great impet-
uosity against the bluff of rock, which
exposes it broad side to the current, and
makes it revolve upon its own course in
numberless whirlpools, into one of which
if q boat gets, she is carried round with
astonishing rapidity, like whirligie, and
becomes totally unmanageable; 50 that
if the direction of the vortex happens to
be toward the rock, she must inevitably
be dashed to pieces. The river makes Q
very sharp turning round point of land
directly opposite the rock, and runs a
course Immediately contrary to the one
pursued. The way to escape this place
and pass in safety through its terrors, is
to keep the boat exactly in the middle
between the current which runs toward
the rock and the eddy or current which
runs near the point; for, in all these
places there is q commencement running
along the opposite Shore"
Grand Gulf was 80 named to designate
from Petit Qittle) Cali, about 20 miles
below, and known now as Rolney, re-
named after an English Admiral. At
what date Grand Gulf was given its name,
or by whom, is not pricisely known. The
first settlers, it appears, were Joseph and
A. W. Calender, and the families Of,
