McLane attributed his dismissal to con-

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuices of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead
both look and feel as fresh as daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach. liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste. sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans.
ing, sweetening and purifying the
entire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating, 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but little while until
the roses begin to appear In the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
LESS, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism real enthusiast on the
subject of internal sanitation. Try
it and you are assured that you will
look better and feel better In every
way shortly.

Oscar F. Hodge, manager of Neil
O'Brien and his great American min
strels, announces that the 1916 edition
is the best they have ever presented.
This year, he says. they have more
people, more variety of acts and spe-
cial features and of an even higher
quality than in any previous year. In
Mr.. O'Brien's more than 20 years ex-
perience in minstreldom he has be-
come acquainted with all the minstrel
talent worth while and has used this
experience and acquaintance in max
ing up this seasons program.
This is the fourth year this organi-
cation has been on tour and the fact
that it returns to practically every
town is the best evidence that it
pleases.
Mr.. Hodge in behalf of Mr.. O'Brien,
his associates and himself, thanks the
t}eater-goers of The Auditorium for
the excellent patronage afforded him
in the past and hopes for renewal of
same when the Neil O'Brien Great
American Minstrels come to The Audi
torium on January 3, for one perform
ance.

.CURR|E TELLS OF
A. 4. SCHOOL WORK
POINTS OUT TO LAuDERDALE
COUNTY ADVANTAGES OF HAv-
ING SUCH AN INSTITUTION.

The Rev. E. j. Currie, superintend-
Tent Of education for Forrest county,
in letter to Superintendent John R..
Ellis, of Lauderdale, tells of the adj
vantages offered to county by an az
ricultural high school.
In his letter, he says:
"Our people realizes the fact that
our state is an agricultural state
that is that our people must depend
largely upon the agricultural re-
sources, of the state-covering farm
ing and stock raising. In order to at
tain success in any useful line of life
the operatives must be trained. Our
people therefore were almost unani-
nous in favor of the establishment of
an agricultural high school. There
has been practically no opposition to
the school since it's establishment.
The expense has all been met by d.
rect levy-two mills as the law pro-
vides. The plant with all equipments
is now worth from $4,000 to $85,OO0.
we have 800 acres of land beautifully
located for. farm demonstration work
and stock raising. Our buildings are
all equipped with modern convent
ences (steam heat, electric light, ar
tesian water, etc. 0 course, our rev.
enues were not sufficient to meet all
expenses but we have a special law
authorizing our board of trustees to
borrow money, under this law We had
no trouble in getting all the money we
needed for the completion of the build
ings, etc. Our school has been in OPP
GRAFTON a little over three years and
by the close of the present term we
will have but a small debt to meet out
of next years levy. | am confident
that we can reduce our levy at least
one-half a mill next year. Within a
year or two we will not need more
than three-fourths or perhaps one
mill to meet ALI running expenses and
make necessary additions to meet
growing demands of the school.
Our attendance is about 100 pupils
per year. AS you note our county is
very small in territory and we have
a splendid system of common schools
and the State Normal in our county
hence our Agricultural High School
has not a large constituency from
which to draw. But we are glad to
know that the school is growing both
in the confidence of the people and
efficiency of work We have splen-
did body of students coming from the
very best families in the county. Our
boys and girls are receiving both
theoretical and practical training
which will enable them to handle sue.

ZIMMERMAN
ISSUES BIG NUMBER
CONDITIONS IN LuM
Der REFLEcrED BY THIS
sDtFloa.

Advertising patronage of the lead
ing trade paper of any industry is a
good barometer of conditions in that
business. Judging by this standard
the improvement which has been man
ifest in the lumber business during
the fall is of substantial character.
The Christmas edition of The South
ern Lumberman of Nashville and
Memphis contains 100 pages of which
over 100 are devoted to handsome adj
vertisements
The reading matter of this big edl-
ton, which is the largest Christmas
edition ever published by that paper,
is unusually interesting and covers
wide variety of topics, many of which
are of interest to the layman as well
as to the lumberman One feature OF
the edition is an article entitled Pros
perity is Back Again" which gives an
editorial review of the lumber cOndi-
lions. during the past year followed by
letters from about fifty leading lum-
bermen in all parts of the country CIV
ing their opinions as to what they ex'
'pect for business in the coming year.
Practically all of these are of the
most optimistic character.
Some of the leading topics handled
in the special articles are: trade ex-
tension through better merchandising
methods, trade marking lumber, train
ing fire-fghters at saw mills, the nee.
essity for the re-establishment of the
American merchant marine and sew
eral articls in regard to farming and
cattle raising on cut-over lands in the
South. In addition to this there is a
well written article dealing with the
personnel of the Federal Trade Com
mission, two articles on better meth
DDS of logging, and usual run of news
of this up-to-date weekly.

GULFLICHT RETURNS TO
NEW ORLEANS PORT
TORPEDOED AMERICAN STEAMER
REPAIRED IN ENGLISH
YARDS.

New Orleans, Dec 2S.-After a thrill
ling experience in the war zone, where
she was torpedoed, and narrowly es-
capped destruction in a mine bed, the
steamer Gulflight of the Gulf Refining
Company is back in New Orleans. She
arrived here Monday morning and
locked in Gretna, to take on a cargo
Of oil. The only evidences of the
damage brought by the torpedo are
three big new steel plates on the star
board side of the hull that cover a
hole measuring about 80 by 80 feet
She was repaired in England.
The Gulflight was en- route to France
= and was Is miles west of Bishop rock,
which is about 40 miles west of Eng
land, when a submarine sent tor
pedo into her bow, tearing away the
big steel plates. The submarines
identity was never learned. The call
for help was answered and the Gulf
light was towend into an English har-
kor. She remained in the dry docks
for seven weeks, after which she left
for France and then came to New Or
leans. On her return here she passed
through mine bed, but escaped being
hit.
The Gulflight has been making reg
ular sailings out of New Orleans to
Europe.

COST NORMAL FOLKS
$3.50 LAST MONTH
EXPENSES AT STATES LEADING
INSTITUTION GRADUALLY
DECREASING.

1.-THE dozens of students at the Mis-
sissippi Normal College, one of the
States leading institutions, who occu-
pied "the cottage" dormitories there
during December, had to spend but
$3.50 during the entire month.
The other dormitory occupants spent.
$40 more to live.
. These figures included the cost of
board, lodging, lights, and everything,
in fact, except laundry.
This is a slight increase, however,
but that is due to an increase in the
electric light bills on account of short
er days and longer nights. More wa
ter was used in December than in
November the reports of President Joe
Cook, just made public show. There
were more than $4,000 gallons of wa
ter consumed each day, up to the time
the students went home for the holt
days.

of the last "a hours. He did say that
he appeared at the mass meeting. and
that he had declared that the story
was "garbled."
"In what way was it garbled?" The
News representative asked.
The reply was: Nothing was said
about the employees in general at the
mill. Only a few of the younger ones
were mentioned
Mr.. Haynen further stated that a
wrong Interpretation had been placed
upon the article by majority of the
Newman employees there, and by the

The News will take this occasion to
state that it did not attack the sobri-
ETY. Of the younger people of the town,
and nothing in the story being object.

pairing the story, to stick literally to
the information given by the general
manager of the company, and to make
FIT perfectly plain, as did Mr.. Haynen
| in granting the interview, that only
f.certain of the younger employees OF

NEGRO SHOOTS WHITE
OFFICER AT MEETING
CHRISTMAS TREE CELEBRATION
RESULTS IN SERIOUS WOUND
ING OF MAN.

Columbia, Miss, Dec. 2S.-Charlie
Lowe, a deputy sheriff of this city
whom Sheriff S. ]. Hathorn sent to
Hub, Saturday afternoon to keep peace
at a negro Christmas tree at the lat
ter place Saturday night, was serious
ly shot in the left arm and side dur
ing the early part of the night by a
drunken negro, according to his state
ment.
OF the hundreds of negroes who at
tended the Christmas tree, a large
number were drunk, and one young
negro, Gus Magee. not liking the pres
ence of white people and especially
white offers, is alleged to have
slipped up behind Lowe and emptied
the contents of single barrel shot
gun into loves arm and side, the arm
receiving the greater part of the load.
The negro made his escape. Lowe was
carried to the home of friend and
physicians were summoned, who pro-
nounced his wound serious but not
necessarily fatal. He was taken to
Jackson, Miss, Sunday afternoon to
the hospital, where it is thought his
arm will have to be amputated.
