were fired from a shed belonging to
Judge James Hargis. Judge Hargis

feudist, made a confession in which
he swore that Judge Hargis and Ed.
Callahan had employed John Smith,
John Abner and himself to murder
TV. Cox.
He said that after wafting every
night for a week for Hr. Cox to pass
the shed, Elbert Hargis, a brother of
the Judge, one night signalled to
Smith. Abner and himself that Cox
was coming. Spicer swore that he
dozed and was awakened by the crack
of a gun.
He looked up and saw that Smith
had just fired, and Abner was In the
act of shooting Cox. who lay on the
ground groaning. When Cox was
dead. Spicer, Smith and Abner went
into Judges Hargis' yard, where Judge
James and Senator Alex Hargis and
Ed. Callahan awaited them.
Judge Hargis commended them for
killing Cox.

MfINFY ANXIOUS
TO BE RETURNED
Mississippi Senatorial Row
Promises to Be An
Exciting One
Special to Evening Teller
JAPKSOX. Miss,. March 13. The
■ atorlnl light in Mis.d.sippl lias coin
'll«« c 1 this week in earnest and
nin\ he expected n continu» ,v r>
lively clip until after the primaries
ni ■ held in August.
Two United States senators are to
he chosen by the legislature which
will assemble next January, but as
Senator A. J. MeLnurin, one of the
incumbents, will be returned without
opposition, the contest will be but
for onu toga, that which now adorns
the shoulders of Senator H. . Money.
Senator Money could secure a re
election without trouble. It Is believed,
but hts health has not been good of
late and he has consequently decided
to retire.
Governor Also a Candidate.
I
Fince Senator Money made hts de
cision known things political in Miss
issippi have been shaping for one of
the most exciting senatorial fights in
the history of the state.
The rival aspirants for the seat are
Governor Vardman and Representa
tive John Sharp Williams, the mi
nority leader in the house. It is im
j poslble at this early stage of the con
I test to pick the winner with any de
j gree of certainty.
Mr. Williams has returned from
Washington and from all appearances
he Intends to make the fight of his
life to succeed Money in the senate.
It is no secret that he stands higher
with the better and more substanti
al element of the people of Mlssllfrip
pt than does Governor Vardman. But
the latter has a strong pull with the
masses.
William* Stands Wall.
Mr. Williams stands well with the
people on the greater Issues of the
day. but Governor Vardman, on the
other hand, has kept closer to home
and has captivated the popular fancy
by his public declarations regarding
those questions in which the people
of Mississippi are particularly Inter
ested.
Governor Vardman, moreover, Is a
ready speaker and may be conuted on
to hold his own if he accedes to Mr.
Williams' request for a joint canvass.
Whether the next senator be Wil
liams or Vardman it is already cer
tain that the political not will boll at
a lively rate In Mississippi this sum
mer.
Nature's Warning
Lewieton Peole Must Recognize and
Heed It. >
Kidney ills come quickly, myster ■
lously,
But nature always warns you
through the urine.
Notice the kidney secretions.
See If color is unhealthy—
If there are settlings and sediment,
Passages too frequent, scanty, pain
ful
It's time then to use Doan's Kidney
Polls,
To ward off Bright's disease or
diabetes.
G. S. Warren, a retired veteran of
the civil wap, living at 319 South Eigh
th street, Boise City, says: "I served
during the war In the Forty-fourth
Wisconsin regiment and laid the trou
ble I always had with my back in re
cent years to the hardships and ex
posures I had with the other boys at
the time. The worst of my troubles
was the aching pain across mykldneys
and back. My back tired quickly when
I was sitting In one posture for any
length of time, and when stooping and
lifting. The secretions were too fre
quent and there was a scalding sen
sation. I have used other medicines
but obtained little benefit from them.
When I aaw Doan's Kidney Pills ad
vertise I procured a box. The first
dose did me so much good that I got
a second one. They relieved the back
ache and helped the kidney trouble#,
and it la hardly necessary for me to
say that Doan's Kidney Pill* are the
beet and that they are doing me more
good every day."
