URGES EVERYONE
TO QUICKLY GET
ON WATER WAGON
DRINK GLASS or HOT WATER BE
FORE BREAKFAST 70 WASH
OUT POISONS.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
I'm your face, TO see your skin get
clearer and clearer to wake up with
out q headache, baCkache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out,
jest try inside-bathing every morn
ing for one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t
from the stomach, liver kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, swectcning and purifying
the entire ailmentary Cnnal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating It
cleans out all the sour lamentations
gases and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
pbate will cost evry little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetcns and freshens the
skin, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the blood and in
ternal organs. Those who are sub
ject to constipation, bilious attacks
acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also
those whose skin is sallow and COM
pleXion pallid, are assured that one
week of inside bathing will have them
both looking and feeling better in
every way.-AdV

CITY CAN'T REPAIR
THE VIADUCT NOW
Money Must Come From General
Fund, and 1t Cannot BE Spared
at This Time.

That the city has no intention to
repair the viaduct became apparent
yesterday. when city Attorney Ram
sey expressed the belief that unless
temporary repairs would be sufficient
the structure would have to be closed
to all but street car traffic Money
necessary for making permanent re-
pairs necessarily would have to come
out of the general fund.- and that is
impossible at this time.
Mr. Ramsey, with the city engi-
neer, will make an inspection OF the
viaduct probably today when it is
possible some definite decision will
be reached There are several bad
places in the roadways Of the struc-
ture. These could be repaired, but
this would not eliminate the danger
Of accidents due to decayed condition
Of the under supports.

possessed the only green Ford in ok

be very difficult for anyone to ap-

Last Monday night he left his car
in front OF the Masonic hall while he

City ana county officers have been
put upon the trail, an elaborate de-

Of It, but up to this time Mr. Koppln
has received no word Of his green

A preacher came at a newspa.
per in this way: "You editors do
not tell the truth. If you did you
could not live, your newspapers
would be a failure" The editor
replied: you are right. and the
minister who will at all times and
under all circumstances tell the
truth about his members, alive or
dead, will not occupy his pulpit
more than one Sunday. and then
will find it necessary to leave
town in a hurry. The press and
pulpit go hand in hand with white
wash brush and pleasant words,
magnifying little virtues into big
ones. The pulpit, the pen and
the gravestone are the great
saint-making triumvirate." And
the great minister went away
very thoughtful, while the editor
turned to his work, and told Of
the unsurpassing beauty of the
bride, while in fact ishe was as
homely as a mud fence.

We OWE MUCH TO DIGNIFIED LABOR.

Both high mind and dignifed leisure,
wrote Edgar Allen Poe, do not often fall to
the lot of the same person.
Poe himself, called by Tennyson ttthe
most original genius America has pro-
duced," was a stranger to ease and knew
not comfort.
Demosthenes, whose oratory has thrilled
the world for more than {, 1000 years, toiled
incesantly to become master of his art,
Milton, second only to Shakespeare in
the realm of English literature, even when
blind remained a eeaseless worker.
Michaelangelo, without a peer in paint
ing and sculpture, had less of leisure than
the day laborer of our time.
Lincoln, whose Gettysburg speech will
not suffer i'm comparison with anything
spoken or written by men, worked more and
suffered more than the slaves he liberated.
Not>in dignified leisure, but to dignified
labor, the world owes its masterpieces.
The whip Of necessity drives men to.
achievement. The cushion Of leisure lulls
them to oblivion.

TAX ASSESSORS MEETING CALLED.

Mr.: John E. Dennis, our worthy
tax sassessor-elect of Lefore county,
and who has served in that capac-
ity before, has addressed the follow
ing letter%to the newly elected tax assessors
over Mississippi with the hope of perfecting
a State organization Of tax assessors, and it
isexpected that the meeting to be held in
Jackson will be largely attended:
: Congratulations, associations and con-
ventions seem to be the rule with all
branches Of industry. We have the sher-
ifs, postmasters, the bankers and numbers
OF; other associations which are undoubtedly
very useful to those concerned. My humble
opinion is that an organization Of the tax
assessors of Mississippi would be of more
importance t ethe whole of Mississippi than
any other one of the organizations. Now l
suggest that all tax assessors-elect meet in
the city of gJackson, Miss, on the 9th Of
October, 1915, for the purpose of organizing
and to try to find some way whereby there
can be a more uniform assessment, so that
the burden of taxation will not fall so heav-
lily on those who are willing to do right. IF
this appeals to the assessors-elect, | shall be
glad to receive q postal from each Of
them"

THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.

It may have been mere rhetoric to
describe a land as flowing with milk and
honey, but, certainly, hyperbole could not
exaggerate the blessings that have been
shoWered upon the Southern country this
year in such limitless and unprecedented
profusion, says the esteemed Memphis
Ne,vs-Scimitar. Prosperity has touched
country, but the South feels the impact
more than any other section because it has
been lifted out of a Slough of Despond, and
out of a commercial Valley of the Shadow,
and placed upon the heights in the glowing
sunlight of peace and plenty. AS never be-
fore the banks are glutted with money, and
while the general movement is offering aid
to finance the crop, the money does not
seem to be necessary, as there is capital
enough in vaults Of the Southern banks to
supply the demand. The money that is
going to leave here. 1t will remain as part
Of the fluent currency of the country. Just
as soon as the cotton leaves here and seeks
the manufacturers and manipulators, a
f1ood of money will begin pouring in here to
pay for it that will increase the local volume
beyond all precedent. Necessity has taught
the people of the South the wisdom of Gv-
ing at home. They nave not been sending
away for things, as usual, because they had
no money to send. The only alternative
was to produce such things as they desired
and it has proven to be a most happy alter
native. AS a result, we have more home
grown cattle, sheep and hogs, chickens,
eggs and butter, wheat, corn, legumes,
fruit and vegetables and all manner of food
stuffs for man and all manner of feedstufs
for animals. AS a result it will not be nee
essary to send money out of the country be-
cause necessities, and even luxuries, are
being produced at home, and when the high
tide comes the cutters of the South will run
with golden streams, because we have a
practical monopoly upon one of the greatest
money producing staples in the world, and
the salubriousness Of our climate and the
fertility of the soil are such that We can
compete with other sections successfully in
the production of almost everything that is
taken from the earth; If prosperity brings
happiness, the South has every reason to be
happy. The man who cannot accumulate
and become Independent. if not rich, with
wheat at $1.1O per bushel and cotton at
from 13 to Is cents per pound, is deserving
of no commisseration. The fault is his.

YARDAMAN ANDENGLAND

Under the above caption the New Or
leans States comments on Senator Varda-
mans latest attack on the Democratic adj
m~inistration as follows:
Senator Vardaman, back from Wash
|lngton, again is breathing fire and brim-
stone. -aHe wants to call out the army and
navy toEsseprevent the robbery and plumber
which tie cotton growers of America are
suffering as a result Of England putting cot
ton on &1e ~contraband list.
Having been against the president on
so many issues, the senator is consistent in
crying for war when the president is striv-
ing, to.keep the country a 1peace. The
probability is small, however, that the Sen
|ator's pugnacity will get much attention.
we think, like the Senator that Eng
land has trameled on ourrights and ignored
the letter and spirit of international laws
she helped to frame. This is notably the
case in the matter of cotton, which she has
always insisted should be free, and which
she compelled Russia to make free during
the war with Japan.
but with cotton prices high, with
Investigation stimulated, with money am
pie to permit the planters to hold the staple
II they want to and with consumption in
creasing in the territory of the Allies, the
South manifests not the slightest disposition
~ love ~ doilillSLOl SeHQ It's HeeLS IOrLn TO
fight John Bull.
THE president ought to assert the
American position against England's atti-
tude with the frmness he has displayed in
treating with Germany. Few doubt that
he will do SO. But having managed to keep
out Of war with the Kaiser in spite of the
fact that hundreds of American lives have
been forfeited by his ruthless defiance of
the laws Of humanity, it is too much to be-
tieve that he will take the advice of the
fiery Mississippian and challenge the Allies
to mortal combat merely because they have
put some. difficulties in the way of the free
movement Of American commerce.
Before the war is ended we hope to
see England brought to taw and made to
respect our rights. If we do not succeed in
compelling her to do this, after the war we
shall surely call her to a reckoning.
But if anybody in these diggings is
hankering for the sort Of suasion Mr.. Var
damah is demanding, their chirping is so
low that few can hear it; and that seems to
be the.case all over the country. Mr.. Vier-
|ick's FathArland and sundry other so-called

"A roed expert, Who says every
years experience Of highway
building brings some new LIGHT Of
value, = m advocate Of oiled
roads. which he says time and
test have proven the best charac-
ter OF thoroughfares and the most
lasting u al yet built. IN pre-
senting his views be says that oil
IS the cheapest Of maintenance, as
has been established, for not only
does It protect the surface from
the grindaof the auto and the cut
OF the wagon wheel. but it holds
it down through the hardest of
storms. After the grind and the
cut in roads not oiled the rains
find them easy victims to the
wash. but this is not so when the
roads have been oiled. The rains
may fall hard and much water
may descend, but oiled roads
prove the proverbial back of the
duck tosthe water. and. if any
thing. the roads are better when
the rain has come and gone than
they were before, for they are
left cleaner and less dustless to
an extent.
Ihe curse OF road work in
this country has been the ten
dency to make temporary repairs
and neglect permanent work.
This is particularly true in sparse
ly settled districts where funds
are scarce. The road officers
must please the voters by the best
possible showing on a small ap-
preparation. The temptation is
strong to scratch over the sur
face and heap up much from the
the cutters. They may impress
the voters for the time being.
But it goes to pieces under pro-
tracted rains or under a few
months motor travel.
Any town, or county that has
money enough to build any roads
at all, has money enough to pro-.
tect what il builds with oil prepa-
rations. Building an unprotected
road todaya merely depends the
poverty ofSa poor community"
We are advised by the Board
of Supervisors that they have re-
quested road Superintendent Dill
lard to put sign boards at all road
crossings and turn outs showing
principal points to which each
road leads. and mile posts at
prominent intervals showing dis
tances to principal towns in the

much needed. No doubt Mr.. Dill

The time has arrived when the
City of Greenwood should be
studying the question Of provid-
ing City Parks. Aside from court
square and the school grounds
there is no semblance Of a city
park. Before long ground close in
suitable for park purposes will
become very valuable, making the
cost much more than at present.
Greenwood in time will become a
city Of more importance and pop
ulation than at present. The char
acter Of q community is judged
largely by the civic pride dis
played. II we give ell our time

nothing toward the adornment
