Governor Dovoghey Welcomes Veterans Ooveraor Georg* W Donaghey, in welcoxsing the Confederate veterans on behalf or Arkansas to day said: "Vatertn* of the Confederacy: "More than half a century after the beginning of the war between the states, thousands upon thousands of of the South lo honor the Confeder ate soldiers. Hundreds of thousands who cannot bo here. Join us in pay- Inft this tribute of our affection. Those not here in person are here in spirit, and all over the Sunny South the hearts of the people are turned today, TO this city where are now gflthered together more soldiers of the Confederacy than will ever again •>e aspenihled in this world. You are worthy of the honor. ■ In behalf of the people of this great state. I bid you welcome to Ar- Icpnsa^ We are delighted to honor you. not .only for the bravery you exhih »«>d on a hundred battlefields, bu' for the no les.c splendid courage you manifested in the hour of disaster and d»-'’‘^.t "I fhall not undertake to discuss the various rauses that led you to organize the Confederate govern ment Your case has been stated with nnanswrral le logic bv Mississippi's great statesman. Jefferson Davis. Nor ne*»d I stop to go over in detail the history of your great struggle, the battles k'=»t. the victories won. Suf fice it to say, that though greatly out- numhf'reri you maintained your cause through four long and weary years. “Generations yet unborn will be thrilled wi’h the recital of your he roic deeds and your devotion to lib erty will stand forever as an inspira tion to mankind. When the future his torian shall write the name of those who won immortality in that great struggle, our beloverl state will con tribute Its share to the list of honor. Hi.'tory will keep alive the names of the generals and commanding ot- floers. I’.ut what of the private sol dier, humble and unknown to fame, who went forth to battle that his I country' might be free? Upon every I Southern state there rests the im- I pcrative obligation to procure the ' name of every one of its Confederate I soldiers and preserve the sacred roll in its archives forever. Woodrow Wilson in San F rancisco San Ftanclsco, Cal., May 16.—'It la an encouraging sign w'hen I can attack certain things before the men who do those things and not only not be put out of the room, but receive general applause." When Dr. Woodrow Wilson, gover nor of New Jersey, made the forego ing statement here last night, as the gnest of the Yale, Harvard and Princt- ton clubs of San Francisco, In an Im promptu address in which he attacked political corruption, his hearers laugh ed and applauded. “The debate as to whether things are wrong is settled.” he said. “Things are wrong. Now we must get up a de bate on how to get them righted. ‘ Money is at the bottom of all the misrepresentation. Not money put into hands—not bribery. That’s old fashion ed and crude. But it is accomplished by warning men that if they don’t do as they are told they can’t get mon ey for their business. The man who does not do a» he is told Is not In vited to play; he becomes not only a political but a social outcast.” Terrible Picture Of Suffering A Terrible Picture of Suffer ing, Drawn by Mrs. Mc- Elroy, of Clinton, Ky. Points its own Moral Clinton, Kay.—“I was a sufferer for six years from female iroubles. 1 could not 081 and could not stand on roy feet, without suffering great pain. “I tried three of the best doctors in the state of Kentucky and they said i was in a critical condition and going down hill. 'T had lost all hope of ever being better. I was so weak I had to be helped up and down. I had neralgla, dragging sensations and such awful hurting, low down in my right side, 1 could hardly bear It. “After using Cardul. for one week, I found 1 was getting better, so 1 con tinued to take it and in four months time I felt better than I had In six years. ‘1 advise all suffering women to take Cardul. I got more benefit from $3 worth of Cardul tl^an from $100 ^rth of doctors’ medicines.” The only way you can get the benefit of the genuine Cardul herbs, is by buy ing a bottle of Cardul, at your drug gist's. He does not keep the crude lmg» as it Is not in the ; pharmaco poeia. Fifty years of proof, of its merit. In •ctual practice, has convinced us. and thOM who have tested It, of the value of Cardul. in female weakness and dlSMM. JfVTiy not teat it for youraelf? Memonal To Queen Vicioiia London, ^Viay 16.—The great marble memorial to Queen Victoria, fronted by a statue of the late queen and surmounted by a gilded winged victor}', on the plaza before Bucking ham palace, was unveiled today by Victoria s grandson.

Dandtuff, Falling Hair Stopped Harmless, Old-Fashioned Rem- edy Brings Back Color to Giay Hair and Makes It Grow. How many old fashioned remedies are being used, which goes to show that it is hard to Improve some of our grandmothers’ old-time, tried remedies. For instance, for keep ing the hair dark, soft and glossy noth ing equals our grandmothers’ “sage tea.” Although by the addition of sul phur and other ingredients, this old- fashioned brew has been made more effective as a scalp tonic and color re storer. Nowadays, when our hair comes out or gets faded or gray, instead of going to the garden or garret for herbs and making the “tea” ourselves, we simply go to the nearest di'ug store and ask for a bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sul phur Hair Remedy. Druggists are authorized to sell it under guarantee that the money will be refunded if it fails to de exactly as represented. This preparation Is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all drug- j^sts. Special Agent, R. H. Jordan, 2 N.

Telephone No. 155 “Let’s Do It Now, Bill We’ve been reading that fellow Keesler’s ads and'endorsing his views of the simple, the practical, the happy life, for many moons, but we’ve taken no shares. We’re not practical. We don’t fc^ow^ his advice, and how can we be benefited if we fail to take hold? We surely can't expect him to serve us strawberries and cream (out of season, at that) and require him to push the luscious berries dQwn our parched throats with a golden spoon." “THAT’S RIGHT, NANCY, OLD GIRL, r We sure have delayed the game, and if we don’t start, we’ll soon be so far behind the procession there’ll be no catching up. Our Iriends have taken up his proposition, and they’re doing well, there’s no denying that fact. You know, Nancy, I haven’t exactly liked Keesler’s politics, and somehow or other, he says such plain things some times, they kinder get next to one’s hide, suppose we trj’’ the other fellow.” SEE HERE NOW, BILL, you are supposed to be my husband, but my daddy said you were no ac count when I married you, and he was mighty near right. My daddy w'as a Republican and you was a Democrat. Keesler’s one of those South Carolina Democrats, but he has no politics in business, and if there’s one man in town who hai^ no favo»-ites at his windows that man’s name is Ed Keesler. Why is It nearly all the Republicans in town carry shares with him? An swer that, will you? Trouble is he’s told you about your neglect of home, your “social club” habits, your whiskey drinking, your debts you don’t try to pay—that’s what gets next to your hide. Now, we’ll take those shares with Keesler, or you can take your carpet bag (that s about all you’ve got here) and clean out. I’m tired supporting a worthless bum. Get up and ^dust, now.
