Tomorrow morning, Immediately up

poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form Of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound OF lime

at the store and begin enjoying this

men and women who try this become

more important to keep clean and pure

The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and teaspoonful of limestone

New Orleans, Nov. 24.-Thet action
Of Liverpool was distinctly bearish.
That market was due to advance Is

loss in parity but showed four points
decline at the opening of our markets.
The loss in parity amounts to nearly
six points this week, which, together
with a rise in freight rate and only
rs per cent. room available on steam
ers for cotton amounts to practical
shutout. Spots in Liverpool were %
down; sales, 5000 bales. Early ad-
vices firm New York were that no.
tices were rendered and that there
was a prompt acceptance of the ten
ders. Trading here showed a better
tone, there was more disposition to
buy and prices rallied quarter cent
in the first hour. The rapid decline in
the past few days is believed to have
eliminated the weaker long interest
and in this respect technical condi-
tions are perhaps better but the main
point at present ID not interest but
the export situation, and as long as
there is no improvement in the export
outlet, the probability Of supply NOV
ing on the contract market must be
considered. The weather map indi-

ROBIN HOOD" HERE NOV. 80.

robin Hood" which will be pro.
duced at the matinee performance
Thanksgiving day, Thursday, Novem-
Der 80, at the Greenwood theatre, is
acknowledged to be the greatest
masterpiece Of comic opera ever writ
ten by Americans. The charm Of Reg
inald de Koven's music is as fresh
today as when it was first enjoyed
twenty-five years ago; and the dia-
logue Of Henry B. Smith is as spark
ling now as it was then. Like fine
old wine, "Robin Hood" seems to i'm
prove with age. 1t has stood the acid
test of time because it is real work
of art, and the genius which inspired
it should crafty the pride. Of every
American.
Nothing could be moro fasciating
than the story upon which the opera
was founded. The old English tale of
Robin Hood and his band of outlaws
is famous one, and their merry
pranks in Sherwood forest have sup
piled Sir Walter Scott and other writ
srs with stories which will live as
long as our language. Around this
celebrated theme was built the de-
lightful opera by de Koven and Smith,
and in its musical form they have CIV
en- US new pleasure that adds zest to
the story of the greatest of English
popular heroes.

ARE REVISING
THE TAX ROLLS
Practically Every Item on Assess.
ment Book Had to Be Changed
by Chancery Clerk.

Hon, A. R. Bew, Chancery Clerk
and his able deputy, Mr.. William San

the county assessment roll to comply
with the order of the State Tax Com
mission increasing the assessment
on mules, horses, bank stock and cap
ital, capital in merchandising, capital
in manufacturing, automobiles and
adding machines.
Practically every item on the as
sessment roll had to be changed, and
the work has been really harder than
making up new roll. Mr.. Bew stat
ed this morning that he thought the
job would be completed today. The
State Tax Commission ordered the
assessment on mules increased 40 per
cent, horses so per cent, bank stock
and capital AZ per cent, capital en-
ployed in merchandising and in man
ufarcturing 20 per cent, automobiles
70 per cent. and adding machines 100

er and more complete than at San
Diego, for the government has de-
cided to include features from every
department of Uncle Sans vast sys-
tenn. It would require volumes to de-
scribe tho details of the exhibit, but
visitors will marvel at its magnitude.
Undoubtedly it will prove the most in
structive exposition feature ever seen
in the South, or anywhere else for that
matter. In fact it will be a whole ex-
position in itself.
The government will send uniform
ed men from the navy and army to act

INTEREST FOR BOTANY
STUDENTS.

Gulfport, Miss; Nov. 24.-(Special)
-Botant students will find much to
interest them wheE they attend the
Mississippi Centennial Exposition, to
be opened here on December 10, 1917,
for William Mehl, Of st. Louis, who
was head gardener at the Worlds
Fair in St. Louis in 1904, Pan-Amer-
ican Exposition in 1901, Worlds Fair
in Chicago, in 1892, and Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition in San Francisco last
year is the landscape artist for the
great Southern event, and has made
requisition for no less than 1000
specimens Of plants, trees and shrubs
for the exposition grounds.
When Mr.. Mehl put in the requi-
sition q few days ago the exposition
officials "went up in the air." Not
because the total cost Of the plants
ran up to about $4,000, but for the
very simple reason they could not even
pronounce the big names aid had no
idea what they meant. But Mr.. Mehl
relieved the curiosity by soon fur
, nishing the good old fashioned Amer
ican names for the different plants,
! and now they have been ordered.
"Now, what in the dickens does this
word mean," ssked one Of the OFF,
cisls, when he came across "Ailanthus
Glandulosa." Mr.. Mehl replied, 1T
means the Tree Of Heaven" It was
more than . mouthful Of words that
Mr.. Mehl poured into tho officials. 1t
is doubtful il even tho best students
Of botany could tell, of hand, what
all Of those big words stood for. Here
are few and the American names:
"Quercus Palustris" (Pin Oak) i;
"salix Babylonica," weeping Willow;
"Phoenix CaAsriensis" ,(Date Palm); /;
"Agave Americana" Century Plant) /;
Convallaria Majalis," Lilly of the
Valley. Think Of reading over list
Of 1000 names which are just as bad.

specimens which will transform the
exposition grounds into Garden Of
