“I have taken Dr. Miles' Anti-Pairs
Pills for five years and they are the
only thing that does me any good.
They have relieved neuralgia in my
head in fifteen minutes. I have also
taken them for rheumatism, head
ache. pains in the breast, toothache,
earache and pains in the bowels and

equal them and they are ati that is

KIRBY fORCtS
ARE FOR HAYS
For Control Of Pine Bluff Con
vention And Will Make
Fight On Poinsett
Returns.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 22—With
the State Democratic Conven-'
tion but two weeks off, the poli
ticians are now beginning to
talk of the plans for the Kirby
contest, which^ will be the one
bit of spice for the convention.
Senator Clarke has been on the
ground for a week, and states he
is more than pleased with the
indications for the action of the
State Central Committee being
sustained. Judge Kirby is very
active, and his campaign mana
gers have spent much of the
time during the past week in
raid about Little Rock.
It is stated by one in the Kir
by camp, that the fight will be
made wholly on Poinsett coun
ty, an effort being made to have
the entire vote there thrown
out. All other propositions will
be sidetracked by the Kirby
men. They plan to gain control
of the convention through the
permanent officers and in this
way sway the balance of power
to the contestant. According to
report, their plan is to further
the interests of Gov. Hays, in
organizing the convention. They
claim that the organization of
the convention is a courtesy
which is extended to every gov
ernor.
Gov. Hays took no hand, in the
contest up to the present time,
and he is not making public an
nouncements of any such inten
tions at the present time, but
politicians claim he is pulling a
few wires- Should he favor the
cause of Judge Kirby, and secure
the right to name the coirven
tion officers, he can name Kirby
men, which would be a death
blow to the Clarke forces. The
Clarke men declare that they
will have a hand in the selection
cf the convention officers.
It has always been customary,
where a governor is elected just
before a convention, to permit
him to name the presiding offi
cers, as well as the chairman
and secretary of the State Dem
ocratic Committee. There would
Vip r>o onnosition to Gov. Havs
being shown the usual courtesy
at the present time, but for the
fact that he has been renomi
inated without opposition. The
present officials were chosen by
Gov. Joe T. Robinson, before his
elevation to the United States
Senate. They were Robinson
men, and Hays men too. Some
of them are Clarke men in this
contest. They claim that had
Governor Hays had opposition
they would have lined up in the
fight on one side or the other,1
and be willing to give or take the
spoils of victory, but that as he
was not opposed and the fight of
the primary was in the race for
United States Senate, the suc
cessful ones should have the
right to claim their laurels.
The Clarke men will offer
Stephen Brundidge and Con
gressman J. C. Floyd for perma
nent and temporary chairman,
or vice versa. The Kirby men
hope to have Smeade Powell
chosen as chairman of the con
vention.
Many politicians from South
and East Arkansas were in Lit
tle Rock last Sunday, and called
on the senatorial candidates, so
it began to look like old times in
politics.
The State Democratic Conven
tion, which meets inPine Bluff,
June 3, will not be'all serene out
side of the Kirby contest, for if
the Clarke men are successful
they will demand some changes
in the State Ceneral Committee,
and possibly in its officers. The
Kirby men will do likewise if
they are successful, so changes
are bound to come.

“Take anything5” j
“Yes, some pills, but no results; sup- |
pose I’m getting ijonelad. Sometimes!
double the dose, then they physic me sc
hard I’m too weak to work. Think I’ll •
have to try something new.”
“Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters?” i
“No; I’ve heard a good de*l about it
but never tried it.”
“Well, you’ll be pleased with the re
suits.”
The purgative action of Prickly As'r
Bitters not only removes hard itnpac
tions, gas and impurities, but it strength
ens the muscular action of the bowels
which causes them to move regularly.
Prickly Ash Bitter* is a bowel tonic
and regulator in the truest sense. It
promotes daily evacuations, establishes j
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Black welder, of Litchfield, 111., says 1,
the Litchfield News: “lam perfectly wilting, in
fact glad to testify to tee value of Prickly Ash
Bitters as a medicine for the kidneys, stomach
«nd bowels. I ha'-- nsed it whenever I needed
anything of the kind for the last fifteen year!
and it has always given satisfaction.”
