COLLECTIONS FOR
PRIVILEGE TAXES
Will be Considerably Reduced on Ac-
count Of the Raising of the Coca
Cola Privilege.

The revenues not only of Hatties-
burg, but of every city in the state,
will be materially reduced this year
on account of the increased privilege
tax on coca-cola and similar proprie-
tary drinks, the total license required
for dispensing these beverages, in any
form, being $3.50, $S.75 being the old
tax required for the sole of bottled
goods of this character.
1t is stated that the increase of this
tax will result in the abandonment
of the sale of bottled coca-cola and
similar proprietary drinks by practi-
cal'y all the small dealers, which
number close to $50 in Hattiesburg
and suburbs.
1t is stated that not more than half
a dozen coca-cola licenses have been
issued thus far, and, as the tax must
be paid before the last day of the
present month, it is safe to say that
those who have formerly dispensed
this class of soft drinks have decided
to quit the business.
By mistake a few licenses were is
sued at the price formerly charged,
but in every instance where licenses
have been sold the purchaser has
been notified of the mistake and re-
quested to discontinue the sale of
the drinks or to pay the difference in
order to make the license valid.

does not hesitate to recommend ZEMO
as most successful remedy for the
treatment of Eczema, itching skin dis
eases, dandruff. pimples, blackheads
and all other diseases Of the skin and
scalp. He says that not only do its
curative qualities make it popular but
also the fact that it is a clean, liquid
remedy for external use. A great i'm
provement over the old style greasy
salves and lotions which are not only
unpleasant to use but do not destroy
the germ life that causes the disease
ZEMO draws the germs TO the surface
and destroys them. leaving the skin
clear and healthy. Can be used freely

supply those who call with free sample

Aside from the fact that there is no

humidity, it is q very proper river.
There are the banks and the place
where the water ought 10 be. 1t is
only damp on the river when it rains,
and it seldom rains, neither is there
any Mississippi dew.
And when the wind blows, huge
clouds of sand obscure the sight of the
