Sylvester, at the rate of 40 cents a

and he began seeing visions of eating
his Christmas dinner at home this

dream of dining in Paris.
Sylvester and young J. P. Trotter
got into fistic argument on the
streets yesterday. both being mem
bers of the convict crew. and Sylves-
ter went at the other negro boy with
a shovel. He struck him so hard that

Work on the $750,000 paper mill
to be erected in Hattiesburg will be
begun not later than November L. 1916.
It will be completed not later than
January /, 1918. On that date, the con-
tract for material for paper and card
board making will be put into effect
by the J. ]. Newman Lumber Company,

between the site committee of the
Hattiesburg Commercial Club, George
R. Wright one of the promoters of

Because of the great demand now
being made on the factories for paper
making machinery, it will be impos-
sible to secure machinery for the local
establishment before perhaps a year
and half. The original contract with
the promoters called for actual CON
struction work to begin within 80 days
from the middle of May. Because OF
THE delay in securing machinery, how
ever, an extension of time was grant
ed by the company.

The plant will cost between $780,
IOO0 and 100000. 1t will be the best
lpaper making establishment that
money can erect, Mr.. Wright said, be
fore leaving Hattiesburg last night. II
will have a capacity of 100 tons day
or twice that of the big Bogalusa mill
All of the buildings will be of one
story, brick, except the digestors. i
lis possible that these will be three
stories high, although efforts to de
lpress this structure one story in the
ground will be made

day afternoon, Rawls waived examina-
ton. His bond was fixed at $500 for
each count. Forgery, drawing pay
warrants and cashing pay warrants

Fashion has stolen this from the
ancient priests of Poland. The coat
is in castor trykho, trimmed with Nat
tier blue velvet and lined with blue
satin, in the style of the antique cos
tunes of Poland. From the source
of the idea the garment is called the
Polonaise coat.
The fiuted band at the bottom is a
new feature, as also is the chemisette
of Natter blue velvet, which has a
righ, soft collar. The deep velvet col
lar in back comes over the shoulder
and forms a point reaching to the
waistline. A narrow belt finishes off
the waistline in front. The coat is
fastened with gray omnilith buttons
with blue rims, these buttons also ap-
lpearing on the sleeves.

insures the success of the serial film
production, the chief essentials Of
which are the marvellous impossible
ties that thrill the nerves and fire the
Imagination. In this serial feature,
there is the impression that something
new has been attacked. To be sure
we have had the man of mystery be-
fore but never have we had one whose
eye balls resolve themselves into
veritable balls of fire on the screen
and never before have w had the
work of science constituted to develop
genius in the subject treated go SO
far astray as to terminate bands OF
dangerous criminals. The subject
handled by Albert Peysoa Terhune is
a tremendously strong one and no
tricks have been lost. The foundation
of the serial is an experiment upon
which DR.. Burton lMontrose has spent
years of his lifee in studying. Tn dis
appointing result of his experiments
is the delight of one Pierre LaRue, he
of the yes of the Crimson Stain, whose
pleasure is to strangle, and rob, a
ringleader in all sorts of outrages and
crimes. Under his spell Montrose is
forced to make us of his discovery to
install criminal instincts into the
secret agents of LaRue. The first
episode entitled, "The Brand of
Satan" and features Maurice Costello,
Ethel Grandin and olga Olonova. The
serial will be shown at the A-Muse-U

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash It
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsiied cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The 1ather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves It fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

ORPHEO THEATRE

Today--Of the long list of plays
adapted for the screen, the one best
suited to the cameras requirements,
the one whose varying situations lend
themselves to the lights and shades
of exceptional Photographic art, is
"The Cave Man." produced by the
Vitagraph company under the direc-
ton of Theodore Marston, featuring
Robert Edeson in the che character
of Haulick Smagg. "rhe Grave
Man" was written by Gelett Burgess
and originally produced in Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, as a legitimate
comedy drama with Mr.. Edeson in
the portrayal of the leading char
acter. His familiarity with the lead
ing characters possibilities became
apparent when he began work on the
story for the screen, and when the
limitations of the stage left wide
Emergencies in the continuity Of the
story, the camera caught the var
ious scenes in that sequence of deft-
ly fiteed-in situations impossible to
the stage, that rounds out story
leaving no essential point to the
imagination.
