VETERAN CAN
STILL KICK

Ted Coy, Yale's head coach. walked
out on the football field ar Lakeville
the other day. He was in street dress,
but carried a football. Taking his
stand at the 55-yard line and assuming
position for a drop-kick for goal, he
turned to the Yale squad and said
laughingly:

How many tries?" asked a husky
youngster.

Then one by one the members OF
the squad came forward and each
dropped his money on the ground at
the coach's side until there was quite
a little pile OF quarters and halves
there was only one green fellow, and
the denomination OF that was not
large Coy gravely counted over the
heap and, reaching into his pocket,
drew out an equal sum.
Stepping back 10 the 55-yard line,
he made the kick without a moments
hesitation. The ball few straight to
the mark, and pretty goal was scored
on the first try.
Amid the cheers Of the squad, Coy
pocketed his winnings and strolled on
the field to don his playing toys.

SPLENDID WORK Of
commercial CLUB
CONTINUED from page six

Continued from page SKI
Washington ON account of our river
project we have sent committees to
Jackson five times on important mat
tiers and twice to New Orleans, to say
nothing of the work that has been done
locally by members of the Club. All
this has been done with about rs pay
ing members at $1.OO per month, and
the regular expense of the Club under
the present economical system will
average one hundred dollars per
month.
To Provide Ways and Means.
| feel, therefore, that it is not out
of place in this report to urge upon
the members the Importance of at
once providing ways and means to
put the Club on a more solid financial
basis, and especially to begin now
to look for permanent secretary
who will be fully qualified for the duties
that will devolve on man in that
position, in a city the size of Hatties-
burg, as | am sure that no one will
expect the present secretary to fill
the position definitely. The secretary
of the Hattiesburg Commercial Club
should be a man of such capabilities
as to command as much respect and
confidence as the head of any import
! ant business, and you cannot employ
such a man for the salary that has
been paid in the past, and a higher
salary is impossible with the present
resources. There are vast manufac-
turing, mercantile, commercial and f.
nancial interests in Hattiesburg whose
future prosperity depends on the de-
Yelopment of our resources which
will maintain property values and
give stability to investments. These
interests should contribute in proper
ton to their Importance and then
with the income from Individual mem.

income to pay the kind of a secretary |

and think what it would mean to
our business interests if we had a
thousand such farmers in the vicinity
of Hattiesburg. Contemplate what
money would be expended to develop
this land, in the building of houses,
barns, fences and the purchase of
agricultural implements. Such farm
ers would stop the purchase of the
vast quantities of grain and hay for
which We pay out thousands of dol
lars annually to the North and West,
and this money would be used to de-
velop other resources. Surely these
possibilities ought to inspire an or
ganized effort that will bring results

raj mail boxes. Complaints against
the practice have been numerous, the
carriers declaring that it results in
great delay in the collection and de-
livery of mail
Estimates made by the postoffice
department indicate that 100000 900
one-cent pieces are taken annually
from letter boxes for the payment of
postage on mail deposited.
1t is suggested by the department
that patrons should place coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in a
piece of paper Or deposit them in a
coin-holding receptacle, so that they
can be easily and quickly taken from
boxes. Carriers will be required to
lift such coins when these conditions
are complied with, and, where accom-
panied by mail for dispatch, attach
the requisite stamps.

We have at our door some of the

Review Of Years Work.
The review of the work
of the past year only gives us
an intimation of the work that there
is for the Club to do in the future.
Our city must have more railways.
We have some assurance of a connec-
ton with the New Orleans and Great
Northern, and committee will con-
fer with President Goodyear this
month; we must have line to the
Northeast, which will develop that
section and assure the supremacy of
Hattiesburg in this territory and with
the development of our agricultural
resources will be built line directly
to Memphis, which will open up a
rich territory between the Illinois
Central and the M, J. & X. G..
By glancing at the maps of other cit
les possessing such advantageous loca-
tons it will be seen that such road
is certain to be constructed, and we
should not neglect our opportunities.
Our river must be improved to pro-
vide us with continuous ''Big Stick"
to pound the railways when they dis
criminate against us, and we must
lose no opportunity to push the ad-
vantage we have gained. Our creeks
and river bottoms have vast forest
resources which will soon be in de-
mand for the manufacture of furni-
ture, slaves, wagon material, fruit
packages, paper, ETC., and last, but not
least, we have our vast undeveloped
agricultural resources on all sides.

BOSTON BANKER spent LAST
EIGHT YEARS IN MISERY

Charleton H Hutchinson, a leading
banker and broker of Boston, with
YYvbgkqj vbgkqj vbgkqj vbgkqjcm
offices at 8, Congress street, in that
city, has recently come out with a
very strong statement.
In the widespread discussion over
Cooper's new theory and medicines,
which has spread over the country so
rapidly, Mr. Hutchinson has taken the
side of those who say that Cooper's
theory is correct and his medicine all
that he claims.
Mr.. Hutchinson's emphatic state
ment is as follows: Anyone affiict-
ed with chronic i'll health and a gen.
eral rundown condition caused by
stomach trouble, who does not try this
man Cooper's medicine is very foolish.
1 say this after most remarkable
experience with the medicine.
81 heard of Cooper's success first
when he was in Chicago, as I have a
private wire to that city in connec-
ton with my business. Later, when
he came East, learned more of him
and his theory that stomach trouble
causes most i'll health. I have had no
faith in anything not prescribed BY a
physician for each particular case
after careful diagnosis. but after eight
years of constant suffering, during

comparatively short time. For the
past month have not had the slight
est sign of stomach trouble. I can
eat anything with no bad effect what
soever. have a fine appetite, am
gaining flesh very rapidly, am cheer
full, full of energy, and my nervousness
has disappeared. My bowels are in

had sold in Hattiesburg an average
of LOO pounds of butter a year val

could make, butter as easily and as
profitably here as he could in Illinois.
Despite this fact, such cities as New

supply. This man said he had no

origin of Common Phrase.

1t is generally assumed that the ex-
preston ito the bitter end" is of
nautical origin. When there is no
windlass on board ship, the cable is
fastened to pieces of wood called
bits, so that when the whole of the
rope is paved out the seaman has
reached the bitter end, or in other
words, he has done all that is pos
sible The phrase should be ito the
better end" and arose from the fact
that when the cable of a ship had been
payed out to it's fullest extent it had
run out to the end which was little
used, and therefore to the better end
The latter is probably the correct
term, as it is used by Defoe in Rob
inson Crusoe," when he describes the
storm off Yarmouth. He says: 1--WE
rode with two anchors ahead and two
anchors veered out to the better end.
While, on the other hand, DR.. Brewer
calls attention to Proverbs ga, "He1
end is bitter as NORWOOD" and sug
gests that possibly the origin of the
phrase lies therein.

WATCH TAX, $3.50 A YEAR
Everything Was Taxed In EnsIane
During NapoIeonic Wars-In-
comes Paid Ten Per Cent.

The Britisher Is the most cheerful
taxpayer in the world so long as he
believes he is getting good value fol
his money. All the same, he is moi
nearly so badly feeced as were his
fathers and forefathers before him.
In the days of the Napoleonic wars
the income tax was ten per cent on
the pound. Moreover, small incomes
as we'll as large were subject to the
impost. this rate applying to all in

At the same time nearly every ar
ticle of general use or consumption
was not spared, and sugar was made
to yield larger return per pound

today.
The fashion of wearing wigs was
much in vogue in those days, and every
man who INDUCED in the luxury Of
powdering his wig was mulcted in the
tax of SIS per annum for doing so.
The powdering of the wig was 6
universal practice among all but the
lower classes, so the revenue from
this source alone must have beer
handsome
No man could wear hat without 6
license, in the shape of a government
stamp placed inside it, and that stamp
of course, cost money.
A tax was even squeezed out of that
useful and inoffensive article, the
household clock. Every one thai
ticked-or did not tick, for that mat
ter-was made to yield $125 to the
treasury.
Gold watches were taxed, and any
body who wished to wear a COLDER
timepiece had to pay $3.50 per an
mum for the privilege.
In still earlier times the poll ta1
was the favorite method of revenue
raising. Each individual paid accord
ing to his position in the world, the
heaviest tax being paid by those O
the most exalted stations.
Thus the amount levied on duke!
was about $50 per head and earls $2l

Mediocrity, because democracy
makes it the fountain Of accepted be-

to be all that is good and beautiful.
In the opinion of four cylinders, six

that dispose of genius at once.
The world trusts genius to crack
it's jokes and sing it's songs, but not
to marry it's daughters or go on the
road to sell its goods.
Genius has all along put truth above
consistency and now it is saying
there's category even higher than
truth. Pragmatism, some call it. That
