upon at the general election to be held in June.
These statements as
they will appear ou the tickes are as follows.
REFERRED TO THE PEOPLE liY THE LEGISLATIVE AS3EWBLV

Article IV of the Constitution, changing the compensation o f members o f the
Legislature to $400 for each regular session and $10 per day for each extra
session instead o f $.'! per day and mileage. (Section 28 provides the time when
laws take effect, and the proposed amendment is, therefore, wrongly num
bered.)

f Death Was on His Heels
Jesse P. Morris, o f Skippers, Va.,
had a close call in the spring of
1906.
H e says: “ An attack of
pneumonia left me so weak and
with such a fearful cough that my
friends declared consumption had
me, and death was on my heels.
Then I was persuaded to try Dr.
K in g’s N ew Discovery. It helped
me immediately, and after taking
two and a half bottles I was a well
man again. I found out that New
Discovery is the best remedy for
coughs and lung disease in all the
world.” Sold under guarantee at
