NO FISH IN BRANCHVILLE. New Law Curtails Supply of Famous 1 Edisto River Product. Branchville, April 13.?Since the new fish law went into effect the sale 1 of fish on the streets here is a thing c of the past. Branchville, heretofore, c has always enjoyed the reputation of t being the best fresh water market c for fish on the Charleston division c of the Southern Railway, and people |s far and wide spoke favorably of the c line fish they could get here, but now c that condition does not exist, and the ? only way one can get any of the fin- t ny tribe for himself and family is to \ go and catch them like in "ye olden c times," with hook and line. t As one man said the other day, we 1 have prohibition, so we have almost i the same in regard to fishing. One i must get a permit from the land i owner before he can fish on the c banks that adjoin his lands; and if i food products keep going up as they c > have, the poor as well as the rich i will suffer with the "gout" from liv- t ing on such high products. 1 j The farmers in and around iliis section of the country are making great strides in farming, and are going at7 it with a great determina- j - tion to make more grain and less cotton. The April showers that came ^ yesterday and to-day were much ^ needed by the tillers of the soil. ? g Senate Demands Resignation. 6$ / ? t Jackson, Miss., April 14.?Con- ; eluding their afternoon session with j the adoption or a resolution sustaining State Senator Theodore Bilbo by margin of one vote, the Mississippi senate late to-night adopted a resolution demanding that Bilbo tender his resignation and bitterly criticising bis actions in connection with his > charge of irregularities during the recent senatorial contest. To-night's resolution declared that Bilbo, although acting in the role of detective by prearrangement with prominent friends of Former Gov. Vardaman, failed to disclose his evidence until after the nomination \ ..which conduct the resolution declares "is utterly unexplained and absolutely incredible." V The resolution then attacks the credibility and character of Senator Bilbo; condemns his charge and , - statement that he acted in the role af detective as untrue. Concluding, it .^ declares Bilbo unfit to retain his ~ ' * membership in the Mississippi legis- r 7 i. lature. e With the resolution broke the f >^^Btorm. Senator Hebron, president pro t tem of the senate and an ardent sup- 0 porter of Vardaman in the senatorial c contest, left the chair, surrendering the gavel to Senator McLaurin and Joined a group of adherents of Mr. Vardaman, who were forming to march from the chamber in a body. i The entire number withdrew, and by i > a vote of 25 to 1 the resolution was J " adopted. Another resolution declaring it to be the sense of the senate 1 that the senatorial contest was with- I ' Y out improper influence; that the elec- 1 tion of Senator Percy was free from i fraud or corruption and expressing 1 > Confidence in the United States sena- 1 tor was adopted unanimously. Immediately attention was diverted ^ w ,to the consideration of routine affairs t and before Senator Bilbo had an op- i portunity to speak on a question of c : personal privilege, which he announced was hiB intention, the senate I adjourned until to-morrow. ] Senator Bilbo would make no i * statement to-night as to his intention i with regard to the resolution. I -?Speak Kindly. 1 Did you ever realize what a very i good thing to speak well of your ene- < - mies and rivals? From a utilitarian, i not a moral, standpoint. When you \ > say a kind thing about a man whom j the listener knows you have a reason i to dislike, you may incidentally do < him some harm, but do yourself infinitely more. Bring it home to yourself. When you hear a man speak well of his rival don't you feel s a glow of admiration for the man I all proportion to your feelings for the f man he eulogizes? In the same way, 1 - speaking ill of an enemy is apt to hurt you more than it does him. It ? does not matter whether you are t right or not. Nobody loves a mud- I slinger, whether the object at which he flings the mud deserves to be mud- s died or not. i * The Demon of the Air is the germ of la grippe, that, breath- ' ed in, brings suffering t o thousands, g Its after effects are weakness, ner- j vousness, lack of appetite, energy and ambition, with disoredered liver and c kidneys. The greatest need then is t Electric Bitters, the splendid tonic, ] blood purifier and regulator of stom- ? ach, liver and kidneys. Thousands have proved that they wonderfully strengthen the nerves, build up the i system and restore health and good ] spirits after an attack of grip. If , suffering, try them. Only 50c.

Bates, man- fl tger of the war department tele- ci jraph office: "I'm like an old colored man I mew. He spent so much of his time reaching to the other slaves it kept t< lim and them from their labors. His ri naster told him he would punish o lim the next time he was caught v reaching.
