The Port Gibson reveille., 1916-10-19

The additional five mills added
to the tax levy by the board of
aldermen was not made necessary
by the recent improvements.
While a small additional levy
would have been required on this
account, the main part of the
increase was made in order to
make up a deficit caused by the
payment of $4,000 worth of bonds
last year. These bonds, together
with the outstanding bonded in.
debtedness of the town-not in.
cIuding, however, the $1,000 issue
recently made for sidewalks, which
is payable by the owners of the
constructed-gave the
town a debt of $4,000. The
payment last year of $4,000 leaves
only $31, 1000.

dations several years ago the Rev
ellie predicted that the negro
would leave the south. Since that
time nearly g. o have gone from
Claiborne county alone. Many
of these went to the delta, but as
the weevil began to invade there
they went further north. Every
one who goes north becomes a
missionary for that section, and
soon others follow. 1t would not
be surprising, fifty years hence, if
the population of Mississippi one
of the two blacklist states, was not
more than IS or 20 per cent black

The government ginners' report
for Oct. and, gives clear idea o
the boil weevil depredalons. The
northern delta counties, where
drouth practically ruined the corr
crop, the increase in number o.
bales of cotton ginned is marked,
DeSoto, Tate, Tunica, Marshall,
Pamela, Quitman, Coahoma, Tai.
lahatchie, Bolivar, Sunfower and
Lehore counties are far ahead oil
last year. But Washington, Snar-
key, Holmes, Issaquena, Yazoo
and Warren, where high water and
late rains made conditions ideal
for the weevil, there is a material
falling off as compared with last
year. The upper hill counties
PrenIiss, Tishomingo, Union, La
fayette, Pontotoc, Lee, Itawamba,
Monroe, Chickasaw, Calhoun, Yal-
obdsha, Grenada and others
where the weeviI is just beginning
to prey upon the crop, a marked
decrease is shown. Ia the lower
middle hill counties, where dry
season last year gave good results,
causing an increase of acreage,
there is but little change, though
the yield per acre is materially
less.
The lesson taught by this years
experience is that there is no
northern boundary beyond which
the weevil may not go when condi-
tions are favorable. The northern
delta has heretofore felt secure
that no damage would be done
there by the pest, aud past expe
riences justified, 10 large measure,
this belief. But just east. in the
same latitude, where weather con
drtions were more favorable for
the weeviI, the bill counties suf
fered terribly.

The gate receipts at the G. H
A.-Miss. College game amounted
to 81 so. The cost of bringing the
visiting team here was S35 80. A
loss of more than $50 on one game
readily explains why 1t Is almost
impossible to schedule good foot
ball games at home. In fact should
the attendance at the next game be
no better than that on Monday, 1t
will become almost necessary for
US to cancel the best game of the
season-one that will be a real
college game. Chamberlain-Hunt
has the best material for a prepar-
atory school football team that. /
have ever seen. The other mem
bers of our faculty, who are ac-
quainted with numerous schools all
over the South, have expressed the
same opinion. 1t seems to me that
the class of football that is being
put up by the c. H. A. team
deserves a great deal more support
than 1t received In this first game.
We plan to advertise the next
game more effectively than was
done this time, and we are hopeful
that our friends In town will give
us more encouragement In our
efforts to put out a real. genuine.
football team. a credit to the
school and to the town.

The planting of red clover is /:
good omen, particularly for hogs
and the saving of seed. The SEED
yield is small, only two bushel.
per acre. This is due because WE
have not enough humble bees tc
fertilize the pollen. We need tc
import humble bees from Europe
and certain sections of America.
The Cuban government, to en-.
courage clover production, import.
ed humble bees from France and
increased seed yields have fol.
lowed.
The fall Irish potato crop is a
failure owing to planting too early,
too late and drouth. Chas. L.
Will, of WilsonviIle, planted quite
an acreage in June and no potatoes
have formed. Others planted late
and no potatoes and no blooms
are to be seen. Bugs from ex
treme dry weather have destroyed
the crop. Potato culture to sue.
ceed must be sprayed.
The extension of the dairying
industry along the Illinois Central
and Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Railroads portends the shifting
from beef cattle to dairy farming.
Motor trucks are running close to
the Claiborne county line from
Brookhaven, Hazlehurst and Wes-
son. Cash farming will attract
many from time farming as in beef
raising and staple crops.

Wesson Defeats c. H. A.


Chamberlain Hunt was defeated
by Wesson last Friday In a close
and evenly contested gridiron bat
tie, score I3 to ~. Each team
made two touchdowns, but Cham
berlain Hunt failed to kick goal
on both touchdowns, while Wes-
son failed only once. The trip to
Wesson was made Friday morning
In three rather crowded autos.
The team was not In the best
physical shape. and the 70 miles of
dusty road traversed under such
conditions put the men In still
poorer condition. The back field
men, especially, lacked the ginger
and speed that characterized their
playing in the Mississippi College
game.
Wesson plays a return game
here In November. and the Acad-
emy boys are determined to get
revenge for this narrow defeat.
Chamberlain Hunt will play two
games next week, one on Thurs
day. either In Jackson at the State
Fair Grounds. or at Laurel, and
one on Saturday at Hattiesburg.

The twO.quarts per mouth, anti

The two.quarts per mouth, anti
advertising and game laws are tc
be voted on at the November cleo
ton in compliance with the new
referendum amendment which was
declared to be in force by the leg
isIature. The supreme court did
not declare that the referendum
amendment had been legally
adopted as a part OF the constitu.
tion, but simply declined to inter
fere until the matter has been
brought before it in proper form.
Therefore the referendum petition
which was presented, demanding
that these laws be submitted to
the people, is declared to be in
order until the test case is sub,
mitted to the courts.
We believe all of these laws are
good ones, but we will pass over
the game law in order to press
the importance of the others, es.
pecially the two quarts per month
measure. Whether be endorsed
these laws at the time they were
passed or not, the cause is now at
stake, and every man who wants
the accursed thing eliminated from
the state is 10 duty bound to go to
the polls on the 9TH and vote to
keep them on the statute books.
There is no question that an over
wheIming majority of the people
of Mississippi are opposed to
liquor in any form or quantity, but
there is danger of not being able
to get enough voters to realize the
importance sufficiently to go to the
polls. If the whiskeY element
wins in this fight it will feel en-.
couraged to attempt to go further.
Let every prohibitionist go to the
polls and support the law.

Dairy Farmer Has
Gained 30 Pounds
Declares He Now Eats Better,
Sleeps Better and Feels Better
in Every Way Since Taking
Tanlac.


in Every Way Since Taking
Tanlac.
Everybody in Columbia, Tenn,
knows F. {. McGavock, who
owns and operates a large dairy
: business in that city.
"If4here ever was believer in
Tanlac," said R. M. Smiser, a
well known Columbia, Tenn,
druggist, "it is Mr.. McGavock, as
ne talks about it all the time. But
he has right to talk, as no medi-
cine has ever helped any one as
much as Tanlac has helped him.
He really does not look like the
same man." Here is Mr.. McGav-
ock's statement:
81 have now taken five bottles
of Tanlac and have gained thirty
pounds. If you don't believe it,
right here l am, come and look at
me. l don't know what my trouble
was, but I was all run down and
was unfit for work. / think,
though, it must have been my
stomach, as ! had no appetite and
nothing seemed to agree with me.
| was also nervous and could not
sleep. just kept going down bill
and losing weight right along, and
nothing did me any good until
Smizer, the druggist, told me
about Tanlac.
"I tried it on bis recommends
ton and it helped me from the
first few doses. The medicine
seemed to take hold right at once,
and began to eat better, sleep
better and feel better right from
the start. If anybody wants to
know what | think of Tanlac, just
tell them to come and see me. l
am right here in Columbia. Tanlac
has simply made new man of me
and expect to tell all nv friends
about what it has done in my
case"
Referring to the aboVe state
ment, G. F. Willis, Southern
distributor of TanIac, said:
"Tanlac is without exception the
greatest medicine of its kind on
the American market today. The
extreme popularity of Tanlac can
only be accounted for by the ex-
traordinary merit oflhe medicine.
The system. besides being puri-
fed, is toned mp and invigorated,
as the preparation aside from its
cleansing the blood. revitalizes the
overcoming, as it
quickly seems to do, nervousness,
Indigestion, non-assImifation of
he food, headaches, dizziness and
,ther troubles that are so COM
nou."

Old age comes quick enough without in
viting it. Some look old at forty. That
is because they neglect the liver and bow
els. Keep your bowels regular and your
liver healthy and you will not only feel
younger but look younger. When troubled
with constipation or biliousness take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They are intended es-
pecially for these ailments and are excel
lent. Easy to take-and most agreeable in
effect. Obtaiuable everywhere.
