Don't neglect your first cold, cough or any Bronchial affection, this fall

True, there are hundreds, yes thousands of cough remedies on the market. While some are good, there are many which are not, but are positively harmful due to the narcotics which they contain. But why experiment with these differ net remedies purely on the strength perhaps of some testimonials or on the exaggerated claims of manufac- turers, when Schiffmann's New Con centrated Expectorant is sold by Brasher Drug company on such a positive guarantee to give perfect satisfaction, yes, even more-money will be refunded by them if it is not

CLARkSDALE MAN SURE ANDERSON
 CAGES SLAYER
Prosecutor Tells Deputy McBurnett He Will Col
 lect Sl, 800 Reward.

Frank Anderson, negro burglar sentenced to the penitcntiary here last week, is the murdorcr of A. II. Cage, cashier of a bank at Ciarks- dale, Miss. This is the confident
 opinion of District Attorney Dan
 Brewer of Clarksvilie. as expressed
 last night over the telephone to Dep uty Sheriff J. l.. McBurnett of Pine Bluff.
 "Theres no I reckon about it." said Mir. Brewer. ''I am positive you have the right man. I'll be in Pine
 Bluff ill two or three days
 When reminded that Anderson is in
 the state penitentiary, Mr. Brewer told MT. McBurnett:
 "You let me worry about obtaining
 his release for trial here. You figure on collecting the reward.
 Rewards agsregating $1,o00 are outstanding for the capture and con-
 viction of the slayer of the C1arks
 dale banker, who was shot to death
 by negro burglar one night last October.
 Mr. Cage was killed when he grap~ pied with the intruder. a bullet from
 41-calibrc pistol ending his life.
 Mrs. Cage was able to furnish a fair ly good description of the murderer. In making his escape from the Cage home the negro dropped several
 articles identified as having been
 stolen from the home of a man nam
 ed Bracey at Monroe, La, 8 few days
 before the Clarksdale tragedy. Among these were a pair of gold cuff buttons,
 bearing the letter "B."
 Local officials received circulars,
 advertising the reward for MT. Cages slayer, and filed them for future rel erence. Anderson was never suspect ed of the crime, until this week. The negro was arrested here sev- eral weeks ago by Night Watchman John Perdue, who found the black proving about in, suspicious man. ner. Jewelry stolen from several Pine Bluff homes was found in his possession.
 He was indicted on several charges, pleaded guilty last week and sentene- ed to terms aggregating 23 years in prison. He probably hoped to avold investigation that would ensue during trial
 When being taken to Little Rock Monday morning ne IeuueSleu DePU- ty Sheriff 4Henry Williams to secure for him a pair of gold cuff buttons he had when arrested. MT. McBur- nett, suspicious, obtained the buttons from the police station, and then re called tke Clarksdale crime. Refresh ing his memory by consulting the circular, he became convinced that Anderson is the man wanted The fact that the negro carried a Al pls- tol, when arrested vas another cir cumstance that caused officials to connect him with the Cage murder. The buttons and description of An derson were sent to Clarksdale by Mr. McBurnett. As soon as the but tons were identified, the district at torney 'phoned the local officer of his confidence that Anderson is the slay- CT of Cage, and that the local officer should collect tho $1,5G0 reward. In order to remove Anderson to Mississippi, it will probably be ncces- sary to procure his pardon

HEARS COMPLAINTS
AS In cox REGIME
Disdaining Chance To Raise
Arbitrarily Taxation
Valuations

Reductions of the board OF revision
OF Knox county, composed of Charles
B. Jackson, Democrat, Willis P. Be
bout, Democrat, and Harry M. Patter
son, Republican, aggregate a grand
total of $15,660, of which all save $10C
is on property and building valua
tions.
The taxation scandals In Franklin,
Columbiana and other counties is still
vivid recollection with the voters.
In Franklin county, thousands of dol.
lars were arbitrarily added to valua-
tions by the revision board without
hearing one complaint and acting di.
rectly under the provisions of the
Parrett-Whittemore law, the admins.
tration measure of Governor Willis.
The taxpayers and the voting Eubllc
purposely lost sight of any possible
good features in the law when the full
news of the scandal leaked out. What
advantage is there is elective assess
ors if their work can be arbitrarily
revised without the hearing of com
plants, was the question asked.
James Boyle, member of the Frank
lin county board, lost his job-a mar
tyr to Willis desperate efforts to re-
deem himsef for the wholesale blum
ders of his botched taxation measure.
The storm has passed, but the people
do not forget.
In Knox county, the case was en-
tirely different. A board, Democratic
in its tenor, preferred to hear COM
plants as in the days of Harmon and
Cox. The following reductions we're
made: 500 on an auto in Butler,
5000 on land in Fredericktown, $500
on buildings in Jackson, $1,1O0 on a
lot in Gam, $40 on lot in Gam, a
total of $3.50 on various lots and
buildings in the city Of Mt. Vernon,
$S40 on building in Clinton township,
$500 on another building in the same
district, $500 on a building in Gam,
and $3.50 on land and a building in
Gam.
The Willis administration has shown
q deplorable lack of deeds or OF effic-
iency. Willis is making much in his
campaign of his taxation measure.
VIII the people, particularly the
voters, stand for a law which permits
Of such corrupt abuses, or will they
return to an honest system of taxa
tion as is pledged in the Democratic
platform?
1t should ever be remembered that
the Democratic party, although re-
affirming its thorough belief IN the
system of appointive assessors as sci
entific and efficient, respectfully yields
to the wishes of the people, and, IL
returned to power, promises not to
put In system which some voters
disliked, although these very same
voters are glancing at their tax re-
ceipts this year, comparing them with
those of 1914 and wondering just why
they are now paying more after all
Willis, as candidate, told them he
would do as governor.

the medium of attractive displays at
the exposition the society will endeav-
or to interest the laymen in the inter
egting happenings in the field OF ap-
Piled chemistry. Daily lectures will
be delivered at the exposition by a
staff OF competent experts. The pub

be able to appreciate what tremen-

that arose when the German imports
ceased.
Matters of great Importance in
