A Gentleman of Culture
Hon. Henry C. Stuart has just
been inaugurated governor of
Virginia with one of the most
impressive ceremonies ever car
ried out on such an occasion in
the Old Dominion. On the same
day he began his administration
of the affairs of the state with
the full confidence of the people
who elevated him to the high of
fice of chief executive.
Henry Carter Stuart is a
striking example of what a far
mer boy can do. He is a mem
ber of one of the first families of
Virginia, and has the blood of a
nobleman in him to begin with.
He is a direct descendant of the
Stuarts of England. No finer
families are found in the South
than the Stuarts of Virginia.
The new governor is a native !
of the blue grass region of his
state. In the mountainous sec
tion from whence many great
Virginia statesmen have come;
and he is no exception tothe rule,
Governor Stuart perhaps towel’s
head and shoulders above other
Public men of Southwest Vir
ginia.
He is a business man of the
hr>t-class. His plantation in the
mountains of Russell is a shin
example for farmers
throughout the length and
breadth of the state. Nothing
surpasses it in the beautiful val
le.\ of \ irginia, famed far and
near for its fertility. Exporters
take pride in telling the dealers
of England that “these fat,
sleek cattle came from the blue
grass hills of Henry Stuart’s
farm.”
Mr. Stuart has been a political
figure in his state for years. He
made the race for congress in
the Ninth \ irginia district, and
Jell short only a few hundred of
turning a strongly Republican
territory into a Democratic ma
jority.
V ith the proper support from
the state assembly there remains
little doubt but that under Gov.
Stuart’s leadership Virginia will
enjoy a prosperous administra
t’.on of her affairs.—Memphis

Herbert E. iHtchcock is a
state senator in South Dakota.
He has enjoyed some opportun

of the systems of state govern
ment in use in the various states
—the bicameral system bas
ed upon county representation.
Writing to the Sioux City Tri
bune, he brings the following in

A
IA PHYSICIAN’S DIAGNOSIS Ot
! KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease
which Becomes Fatal through
Neglect and which May Be
Readily Cured by Prompt At
tention.
!
More th.iv two-thirds of the annual
: death rate, puysici.uis claim, is directly
traceable to kidney disorders,
i Interested by this remarkable asser
| tion and desiring to acquire a better un
derstanding of the origin of the disease
a prominent physician was recently in
j terviewed as to the symptoms of sued
troubles.
| “To what do you attribute the great
destructiveness ot kidney disease?” was
asked.
“The hold which the disease gains in
the body before the victim becomes aware
of his true condition, and the rapiditv
with which it eats its w iy into the vital
organs.”
“Would not the proverbial ‘ounce <>j
prevention’ check the progress of the
disease?”
“There is no doubt of it. The trouble
is that victims of this disease mistake
the symptoms for some trifling ailmen'
in the stomach or bowels; therefore the\
do nothing to arrest the course of the
disease until it is well advanced."
“What is the origin of kidney trouble?’
“Almost invariably bad digestion, fol
lowed by torpid liver and a constipated
habit.”
u nat are tlie symptoms.'
‘ Headache, dizzy spells, sluggisl
brain, restless nights, pale or sallow
skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart
burn, sour belching, backache or tender,
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak
ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired
feeling, too much or too little urine, aud
sediment in urine.”
ITS EFFECT ON THE HEART.
“In what way is the heart affected froa
kidney trouble?”
“In all cases the heart is disturbed,
though in many instances the palpita
tion does not become alarming until the
disease has advanced to a serious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially after
a little bodily exercise; the victim fre
quently imagines he has heart disease/
HOW TO CURE IT.
“What is the proper course of treat
ment for kidney disease?”
“First, to get rid of uric acid and other
poisons in the system. This can be done
by stimulating the bladder and bowels
so that the}' will act more freely. The
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,
the liver and stomach toned up and the
digestion improved.”
Prickly Ash Bitters is a remedy that
answers these requirements completely.
It is not only a system tonic and regu
lator, but its healing and restorative in
fluence will build up the weakened kid
neys and urge them to a better perform
ance of their duties. It gives strength
and tone to the liver, stomach and heart
and promotes harmony of actiqp through
out the body.
M. W. Burr, village blacksmith and respected
citizen of Starks, te.. says: ‘‘I was troubled with
kidney and liver disorder for 18 years. I was in
continual misery until I began taking Prickly
Ash Bitters which has entirely cured me, and 1
cm now a strong, healthy and hearty man. 1
give it to my wife and four children and they ar'
ia the test of health, too. I feel that Prickly Asl
Bitters ra tho best remedy on earth and tha
everybody should keep a bottle at home."

or of claiming ordinary intelli
gence. I found that it costs our
state from $75,000 to $100,000
for sixty days of alleged law
making, every two years—mon
ey well expended, if results were
had—but are they? What do
we get for our money? We see
some of the most important
laws up for final passage the
same day they are printed and
placed on the desks of the mem
bers. No chance for study, or
even a casual examination- If
the proper force is behind the
act, it is well— but is the prop
er force always there? Not al
ways. On the other hand, good
laws are sometimes delayed until
the very last few days and go
down in bunches through and by
means of an incompetent “sift
ing committee,” said committee
choosing by odd and even and
then throwing them all out, re
gardless of merit. One commit
tee disposed of forty-seven bills
in seven minutes. You can rest
: assured they were not appropri
ating money. Again one digni
' tied body spending a week regu
lating stallions and jacks, care
J fully debating, giving rise to
ithat true saving: “Them jacks
are sure getting a fair trial be
Ifore a jury of their peers."
Mr. Hitchcock is arguing
j against the system which limits
j legislative sessions to sixty days.
His argument is incontrovertible
in connection with the folly of
expecting wholesome, legislation
from a body which is chosen
anew every biennium and con
sists of green hands except in
j the case of the senate, where
! the holdovers comprise half of
j the membership. Hut the weak
j ness of the system is traceable
| more to the feature which im
poses so extensive a membership
than to the time limitation upon
regular sessions. This fact is
recognized by the remedy pro
posed :
Could not five men represent
the people of their state as well
as 150 divided into two separate
and distinct bodies—another an
tiquity handed down from Mo
ther England, when the Lords
were against the commons. If
five is too small, make it ten, and
if ten is too small make it eleven,
but not such a number but what
we can afford to pay them for
their time and whatever ability
they may have. \v e would have
much the better chance to realize
on the investment.
No rational man would, of
course, propose this system in
the absence of the initiative, re
ferendum and recall. But under
these wholesome features we are
all—every citizen of the state
old enough to vote—members of
the legislature. We possess the
power to either annul an act of
the legislative body or initiate
one which it fails to grant us—

Will Install New Gin.
Special to Independent.
Diaz, Feb. 4.—The Diaz Gin
Co. will shut their plant down
for the season in the next few
days. Over four thousand bales
have been ginned by the plant
this season which is far above
the last season’s work.
The Wilmans Merc. Co., own
ers of the plant will put in a new
plant during the summer, one of
the very latest models in ma
chinery and equipment. New
buildings will be erected to take
the place of the old ones.
There have been rumors that
the company expect to put in an
electric system this year, install
ing a dynamo and a large Cor
liss engine to furnish the power.
A system of this kind would
have much advantage over the
old type of gin as the cotton
could then be handled much
quicker. There has never been
a time in the busy season that
the plant could keep up with the
ginning and running both day
and night. The company also
buys cotton and seed which
make quite a little business for
our little city.

Philpot Thursday morning by
attorneys for both sides in the
saloon petition hearing here, fol

Decisions may be given the
latter part of the week, but the

The remonstrants challenged 1,
425 of 3,715 names on petitions
and rebuttal testimony had
