The following letter to the New Or
leans Daily States from Judge N. M.
Calhoun refers to an editorial ap-
pearing In that paper recently and
reproduced by the Gazette. Having
copied the States authoritative take
pleasure In publishingi the Judges
letter:
Vidalia, La, July 20, 1916.
Rditor Daily States:
! noticed in the issue of the 18th
inst, OF your esteemed journal, an
editorial in which you quote from the
Ruston Leader - follows:
"The District Court of Tensas Parish
met in st. Joseph Wednesday for the
first time In twelve months, the grand
jury was empsneled and given the
charge Ut 10 .. m, retired to the court
room, reported no indictment nor cases
Investigated. and discharged at II :25,
just one hour and twenty five minutes
after 1t was empaneled. 1t broke the
record a. lsw-sbiding parish"
Now Mr.. Editor, some of this Is true
and some of 1t is not, and I desire,
through your paper, to correct that
part which is erroneous and mislead-
ing.
It is not true that the session of
court referred to was the first and
only session which had been held in
Tensas parish In twelve months. On
the contrary, have been holding reg
ular monthly sessions of my court in
both parishes of the district since I
went on the bench, March /, 1914, at
which, both civilend criminal business
has been transacted, barring two
months out of the twelve of each year
allowed me by the law for vacation,
one-hah of each month of the ten be-
ing allotted to each of the parishes
composing the district. The only ex-
ception to this IL that I failed to hold
court In Tensae for one month of each
OF the years 1914 and 1915, due to over
fiow and other unavoidable causes.
However, no year has passed in which
Ihsve not impanelled Q grand jury in
each Of the parishes twice year. No
term of the court during the whole
time OF my imcumbency, has been
predetermined in Ooncordis parish.
Even 1T the term of court referred to
in Tensss there were . number of
criminal cases tried and disposed of.
However, I am proud to say that
Tensas has broken the record ss law
abiding parish. There has not been q
homicide committed In that parish
for nearly or quite two years. What
little crime has been committed is of q
minor character. This however, does
nofargue that we have no need for
the court.
Whether or not the State should be
re-districted is q debatable question
depending for wise and correct solu-
ton upon many considerations which
! do not now propose to discuss.
Whenever that question becomes
again IN issue, may have something
to say on the subject.
Hoping you will kindly grant me
space in your paper to correct the err
ror complained of, am,
N. M. CALHOUN.

GALLON-A-MONTR ACT.
To Be Tested In Supreme Court
October 13.

Columbia. October 2::-There is
great interest throughout the State
in the en- banc session Of the supreme
court, which has been called for
Friday and Saturday, October IL
and IA, by reason of the fact that
one of the cases set for hearing is
that of Bremen VS. Express company
involving the constitutionality of the
gallon-a-month act, and it is prob.
able that South Cardinals liquor
laws will be thoroughly threshed
out at the hearing.
The gallon-a-month act was passed
at the session of 1915, at which
session was also passed the act SUBJ
hitting the question of prohibition
to the electors of the State. Pro-
hibition was voted, and later, at the
session of 1916, the two-quart-a-
month act was passed, but it has
been held up by Governor Manning.
This act having been ratified within
three days of the adjournment of
the 1916 session can be held by the
Governor without action on his part,
and without it's becoming law, un-
til the session of 1917. when he will
either veto it or it will become an
act by operation of law.

"Pye Had No Return OF Any
OF Nay Old Troubles"

A few days ago Frank Richard
son, well known employe of the
| Byrd Printing company, residing at
- West Lake st, Atlanta, came into
jacobs pharmacy andin relating his
experiences with Tanlac said:
About eighteen months ago,
while | lived in Knoxville, Tenn, |
made the statement that | wouldn't
take $500 for the good Taniac did
me. Well, | just want to tell you |
still feel the same way about it. |
suffered with the most terrible case
of stomach trouble, which had fol-
lowed ne for seven long years and
pulled me down almost to the point
of despair. Tanlac gave me relief
when everything else had failed and
l can never forget it.
MY diet was restricted to milk
and occasionally soft-boiledegg, and
l would not dare to touch meats OF
any kind. l was habitually constip-
ated and extremely nervous. No
matter what would eat, / would
always have an awful pain in my
stomach, ,and this, with my stomach,
kept me awake for hours every night
My condition alarmed my wife, and
I was almost at the turn of the road
where I hadn't strength to follow
my vocation:
Il read about Tanlac helping so
many people who were afflicted as |
was, and l determined to try it. l
started to the drug store one even
ing for my first bottle, and 1 was so
weak from loss of strength and en-
ergy that 1 tainted. l managed to
get back home after so long and
started on my Tanlac, ard the first
few doses made me feel better. |
continued improving, and, latter TAX
ing the fourth bottle, there was a
wonderful change in my condition.
l found that | could eat just any
thing l wanted, and, for the first
time in years, / could eat boiled ham
and potatoes and felt no i'll after-ef-
fects. The pains all left my stom.
ach, my nervousness disappeared
and | could sleep like a child. My
troubles all went away with those
few bottles of Tanlac and left me
stronger and more energetic than |
had been in years. Yes, sir, eighteen
months have passed since Tanlac so
wonderfully restored my health, land
it gives me pleasure to tell you that |
have no return of any of my old
troubles to this good day, land have
kept my average weight all along.
Tanlac made life pleasure to me,
and go about mywork with a feeling
that reminds me of the days OF my
young manhood"
