For Chancellor
The Time* i» authnrlaed to announce Jud«re
J. R BEASLEY, a* a candidate lor ( hancellor
•rf the KHih Chancery Circuit. *ubject to the
action of the I>emocratlc party at it* primary
election in March, ll**i.
CANDIDATE FOR STATE
SENATOR.
There may have been some doubt
in a part of the public mind a* to
just wnat are the intention* of
Jlon. F. W. DeRositt in the ct ru
ing campaign, and since his return,
many of his friends have urged
him to declare his candidacy for
the State Senate, knowing that
this is the zenith of his ambitioRs,
and that he would no doubt serve his
constituency faithfully, to the best
of his ability, and with lr or to
them and credit to himself in that
capacity.
Mr. DeRogitt thinks the time en
tirely too early to begin the po
litical campaign of 1906, but when
asked for a definite answer to the
question as to whether or not be
would be a candidate for that po
sition he authorized us to say that
he is a candidate, and will be in the
race to the finish and will shortly
announce in the usual official
manner.
This statement is made in order
that those interested in his election
may he fully advised, and that those
who may oppose him may have no
uncertainties as to what his course
may be in the future.
Mr. DeRositt will stand lor elec
tion to the Senate upon his merits
and upon his iecord as a membei
of the lower house, inviting a jus
criticism of his official arts, ant
promisingto defend himself aguins
the calumnies of his politico
enemies.
He rightly thinks it too early u
begin an aggressive canvass, but hi
also thinks it well enough to quie
all speculation as to his intentions
and but for these reasons would no
now allow us to mention tin
matter. Rater ho will address at
open letter to ihe voters of the dis
trict, in which he will define liii
views upon the political issues o
the day, and upon the conscientioui
fulfillment of same he will stand 01
fall.
W hen the proper lime arrives
Mr. DeRositt will got into the
campaign and make a persona
canvass, and will he glad to meel
in public debate any who may op
pose him, and will endeavor to re
lute some of the erroneous impres
sions which certain unscrupuloui
persons have lately undertaken u
circulate respecting certain bill:
of which be lias been the author
aud of his support of other import
ant measures which eaino befor<
the late legislature, believing thai
when the honest yeomanry of the
county are fully informed am:
know the truth, they must endorse
his course, which has ever been it
harmony with advanced civiliza
tion, democratic to the core, and n
the interest of the whole people.

Remember the Lessons of

As we are now threatened with an
other visitation of the dreaded yellow
fever, it is well to rememtrer the ex
periences of the last occasion. In all
sections where yellow fever made its
appearance it will be recalled that
persons who kept their stomach, liver
I mid bowels strong and active were not
affected by the disease: while others,
i apparently healthy, were stricken
down. I licse latter were all more or
; less habitually constipated, bilious, or
victims of bad digestion; u> u result
I the blood liecame impure and the vital
organs were unable to resist the deadly
