NO MORE
CONSTIPATION
This Nurse Says Ncrv.Worth Is
Wonderful

Such n statement from a profcs-
sional nurse as the following needs
no explanation. 1t simply proves
our statement that there is no
other remedy for stomach troubles
and bowel complaints that will
give such quick, positive, healthy
relief as this splendid family rem
edy. Mrs. Thorn tells US that she
suffered so severely from stomach
trouble and torpid bowels that
she had faintfng spells. sleepless
nights, nervous exhaustion, bloat-
Ing and sour stomach totan ex-
IRENE degree and could find no
relief either through physicians
or other remedies until she used
Wentworth; but before she had
taken up the first bottle she was a
great deal better and rapidly i'm
proved with its use until her for
mer rugged health was fully re-
stored.
You can get this famous rem.
edy at almost any drug store at
one dollar a bottle. 1t is always on
sale In this city at the Cranes Drug
Co., Fortney Drug Co.'s two stores
and each druggist Is authorized to
give the money back IL the results
from the first bottle are not en-
couragtng and satisfactory. It is
a splendid remedy for delicate wo-
mon or stckly children because OF
Its pleasapt taste and It's mild but
always efficient action.

Lexington. Miss. April 17.-lntel-
est in the senatorial race was intensi-
fed here today when Hon. Hubert u.
Stephens delivered an eloquent and
forceful address in the interest Of his
candidacy, and Hon. VI. L. Burch, who
| has been trailing Mr. Stephens of late.
! Vardaman. Following his charge to
the grand jury. Judge Davis recessed
court until 80 o'clock to permit Mr.
Stephens to fill his engagement,
which had been arranged and extern
sively advertised for some weeks.
Nothing was known of Mr.. Burch'S :
desire to speak until he appeared on
| the scene. unheralded and unan-
nounced, and Hon. A. NJ. Pepper. who
had been asked to preside, ascertained
| from Mr.. Burch that he would like to
speak in behalf of Vardaman. Mr..
Burch insisted that he be permitted to
follow Mr.. Stephens, as he had done
when appearing at other engagements
of Mr. Stephnes'. but he was informed
by Mr. Pepper that the hour of Mr..
Stephens speaking had been adver-
| tised as 80 and that As minutes be-
| fore that time would be given to
| Burch.
| Mr.. Burch was introduced by Mr..
Pepper and Immediately launched into
most bitter criticism of the arrange
ments that had been made, stating
that he should be allowed to follow
Mr.. Stephens or be given time for a
rejoinder, giving the impression that
he was engaging in joint debate with
Mr.. Stephens. His reflection on Mr..
Pepper and criticism of those who had
made the arrangements did not, II
was plainly evident, meet with me
approval of the audience.
Mr.. Burch defended the course of
Senator Vardaman during the war
period and claimed that he had done
more for the south than all the mem
bers of Congress and Senate from the
south in the last 40 years. He asserted
that Senator Vardaman had personal
iy and alone, without any assistance
whatever, passed the flood control
bill, that he had personally and alone
been responsible for four per cent Of
the income tax rate. He pictured the
former senator as an object of pity
and stated that today he is in most
abject poverty and appealed to the
people to realign themselves along
factional lines.
When Mr. Burch concluded Mr.. Pep
per in polite but most scathing lam
guage, took him to task for his un
warranted reflections on him as pre-
siding officer and assured Mr.. Burch
that if he wanted to address the riti-
zens of Holmes County at any time
and get all the time he desired it was
only necessary to make his wishes
known in time. Mr.. Pepper then in
troduced Mr.. Stephens as an old
classmate at the university who stood
foursquare with the world in every
respect and was able and not afraid
to do his own speaking.
Mr.. Stephens took notice of Mr..
Burch's speech only to say that last
fall, shortly after he announced for
he Senate, he had issued a challenge
