New Workers Promise to Give to
Endowment of Academy.

Rev. M. E. Melvin, who went
to New York for the purpose of
trying to invest capitalists in Cham
berlain-H Academy, returned last
week very much encouraged.
One man of means promised to
supply the funds necessary to in-
stall a chemical and physical labor
atory, while another submitted a
proposition which, if carried out,
will mean much in the way of edu-
eating young men who are without.
means. The donation promised is
solely for this purpose and is to be
given conditionally,
OF course these donations are not
simply gifts to the Academy with
out that institution making an eff
fort to help itself and while they
mean a great deal to the school and
to the town, at the same time they
mean that there is great deal of
work to be done in order to secure
them.
Neither the names of the donors
nor The amounts and conditions
of the donations are made public,
but the Reveille is permitted to
say that the gifts are made with
view of making an education pos
sible for young men who otherwise
could moi get one.
Mr.. Melvin has labored faithful
ly and persistently for the up
building of the Academy, and the
Reveille rejoices with other friends
of the institution to see his labors
crowned with success. The en-
rolIment of students far exceeds
what the management expected,
and now that there is'a probability
of not only having the debt upon
the institution paid but a liberal
sum added to the present endow
ment, the Academy promises to
grow steadily year by year.

Watch the kidney secretions.
See that they have the amber
hue of health;
The discharges not excessive or

Contain no brick-dust like"

Doan's Kidney Pills will do this
for you.
They watch the kidneys and cure
them when they're sick.

and have no hesitancy in pro-
nouncing them an effective medi-

reservations. I can also truthfully
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills to
anyone in need of kidney remedy.
Marked improvement was shown
in my case after the use of three
boxes. The secretions from my

A 100 MILE ROAD
From Vicksburg to Natchez for
"Auto" Riders.

Frank Fisher who is among the
enthusiastic automobiIists of
Vicksburg, Is delighted over the
receipt of a letter from Sim H.
Lowenberg, of Natchez, who pic
lures the time when Vicksburg
and Natchez will be connected by
a 100 mile "auto drive" which will
be the perfection of road building.
Mr.. Fisher furnishes the follow
Ing letter he has from Mr.. Lowen-
berg, and requests the Vicksburg
auto owners to confer with him
upon the most desirable object in
view, the general improvement of
sll roads, and the especial purpose
of connecting Vicksburg and
Natchez for a one day auto ride
over perfect route. The letter
follows:
F. ]. Fisher, Vicksburg. Miss:
Dear Sir:-I understand that
You are very much interested in
automobiles and also good roads
and thought that you might be in
terested by taking an active inter-
est, Eve would do the same thing
here) and see if We could get the
different owners to subscribe sut-
6cient amount of money, with the
assistance that we could get from
the several counties, TO build a
model road from Natchez to Vicks-
burg. The roads in Adams coun-
tY are in magnificent shape and 1t
would take very little money to
put them in absolutely perfect con-
dition. What we would have to
do is to get the roads in Jefferson,
Claiborne and Warren counties In
good condition and we would have
a one hundred mile stretch that
would be a big thing for both sides
and would no doubt encourage
more automobiles. We already
have thirty here and 1t looks now
that there will be considerable
more, especially so if we could ac-
conplish anything with the roads
outside of this county.
If you are interested in this prop
osition, would like to hear from
you further and see if we cannot
get up some plan to accomplish
this end. Will be glad to hear
from you.
