READY FOR CONVENTION.

Chicago. June appropriations were
completed, tonight, for the meeting
of the Republican national committee.
Thursday morning The committee
will face a tangle such as perhaps has
never confronted a national commit
tee of the party on the eve of con-
yention. The right of newly chosen
committeeman to seats; the question
of open hearings of the more than
geo delegate contests; the prospect of
a fight to the finish on the selection
of Senator Elihu Root for temporary
chairman and the belief that Col.
Roosevelt and his associates win car
~ into the convention their fight for
the seating of their contesting dele
gates. are some problems engrossing
the attention of Chairman Harry New
and the other members of the sub
committee on arrangements.
1t is the belief of national commit
teemen now in the city that the claim
of r. b. Howell of Nebraska to the
seat now held by Victor Rosewater.
will be disposed of as soon as the
committee meets for organization,
Thursday morning. The calling of the
roll will bring Mr. Rosewaters seat
into controversy, it is expected IL
the contest be decided against Mr.
Rosewater, an effort will be made, 1t
is expected. to name Mr.. Rosewater
as chairman of the committee to serve
until the committee shall go out of

ton.

MRS. GEN. MCCLURG COMPLI.
MENTED.

Quite a high, and a we'll deserv-
ed honor, has been conferred up
on Mrs. General McClurg, of this
city, this lovely lady having re-
and accepted from Mrs.
White, of Tennessee, the Presi-
dent-General of the National
United Daughters Of the Confed-
eracy, an invitation to respond to
the address of welcome at the
next annual session to be held in
Washington D. C., in November.
Mrs. McClurg has Away been
regarded not only as among the
most illustrious members of the
Association of the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy, having
served them as their President,
but also as among the most tai
ented ladies of Mississippi. Be-
fore she married Judge Monroe
McClurg, ex-AttOrney General of
Mississippi, and lately appointed
Judge of this Judicial District, was
Mrs. Helen D. Bell, which name is
highly beloved by all those esti-
mable ladies interested in the
work Of the Daughters of the
Confederacy.
Characteristic of the eminence
of this talented lady, and her
thorough acquain :ance with the
principles and the work of the
organization, a brilliant response
is rightly excepted when she at
tends the National Convention at
Washington next November. Not
only Greenwood, but the State
appreciates this honor.

GREENWOOD TEAM SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT.

There is no doubt but that Pres
ident Marye made a splendid
move when he released Jack Law
and secured Moore from Meridian
for the initial sack, and better
still, the trading Of Catcher War
rem for Catcher Dudley Of the
New Orleans Aggregation.
Moore is a dandy, a fielding
fiend, a dependable hitter, a fleet
baserunner, and only has TO watch
his southpaw TO keep down errat-
ic throws. Dudley is considered
the best catcher in the league,
and is one Of the cleyerest ball
players IN the circuit, without a
doubt. His appearance behind
the bat added 100 per cent. pep
to Wednesdays game, and from
now on there will be a whoop in
GreenwoOd's percentage.
New Orleans has the best team
III tne league, or al least as gOOd
as has been seen here. Her
pitchers, Calm, Frost and others
are dandy, and they are baserun-
ners. Anyhow Gene Demont will
show them what and how to do.
So they caught US for two out of
three series before our change in
lineup was working good. They
had better be on the lookout for
next series.

the week came Carlos Smith Ag-
gregation, Thursdays game re-
Sulting as follows:

dent Mary's endeayOr to give us

Acts as Quickly as Calomel, Takes the
Place of Calomel, and is Absolutely

Dodson's Liver Tone is the name Of
the new vegetable which S. L. Raines
Drug Store recommends as a perfect
substitute for calomel. Without caus-
ing any restriction of habit or diet,
Dodson's Liver Tone starts the liver to
working and cures constipation, bilious
ness, etc, without any harmful after
effects.
The fact that calomel is mercury has
kept any people who are afraid of mer-
curial poisoning from using it. Calomel
is a good thing to let alone. All per-
sons can use Dodson's Liver Tone,
whether they have been in the habit of
taking calomel or not, for it is entirely
vegetable and cannot do harm. S. l..
Raines drug store will give the money
back to any dissatisfied purchaser.
