BANKS WILL TEST LAW.

Suits were filed in the Circuit Court
of LeAore County yesterday by Stokes
V, Robertson, State Revenue Agent
against the First National Bank and
the Greenwood Savings Bank, for the
collection Of taxes assessed against
those institutions. 1t Is virtually a
test case to try the constitutionality
Of the law giving the State Equaliza-
ton Board the authority to raise as
sessments.
The banks gave their assessments
in to the County Tax Assessor, Mr..
y. Il. Dennis, which assessments were
increased by the Board Of Supervis-
ors. The State Equalization Board
in turn again increased the assess
ments and the banks refused to pay
the latter amount but offered to pay
the assessments Of the Board Of Sup
NtfiSuIS,
The Sheriff nor the Assessor have
the authority to alter the assessments
or to collect any sum os sr chan that
assessed against the b /, which left
the matter Of collect the taxes
entirely in the hands State Rev
enue Agent. This In effort on
the part Of that colla.c the
taxes.
The attitude of fs-ae banks in refus-
ing to pay is not that Of trying ID
evade the payment but to test the
constisutionality Of the new law Great.
Ing the Equalization Board and giving
that body the authority to increase
assessments.

RAPIDLY EXPANDING BUSINESS
Mr.. E. X. Myrick Adds Two More
Connties TO His Ford Agency.

Our progressive and popular towns
man, Mr.. Z. X. Myrick, Is gradually
expanding his extensive automobile
business having the exclusive agency
for the sale Of the noted Ford Cars
now in six Mississippi counties.
MFR. Myrick has right recently been
prevailed upon to add the counties Of
Sharkey and Issaquena to his rapidly
growing business in the sale Of the
Ford. For quite good while he has
had the four counties of Lefore, Sun
flower, Carroll and Montgomery
making a total of six counties now
represented by him.
Mr. Myrick has five garages now
at Greenwood. Itta Bena, lndianola,
Carrollton and Winona-and will put
in another at Rolling Fork to take
care of the business in Sharkey and
Issaquena counties.
A more entcrprising, reliable and
wideawake business man cannot be
found than E. X. Myrick, and The
Daily Commonwealth joins his many
friends in wishing for him continued
prosperity.

ment will appoint man for the
place.
The salary Of the commissioner will
be Sl25 month payable by the

months. The order of the Board reads
as follows:
"And the Board after considering
the same doth order Leaore County,

The canning club work has been
taken up by a majority Of the coun-
ties Of the state most of which have
found it very profitable investment.
The counties Of the Delta however
have been the last ones to take up the
movement which is accounted for by
the fact that majority Of the white
people of the Delta counties live in
town and find facilities for raising
vegetables scarce. In the hill coun-
ties where the rural sections are
densely populated with white people

KATINKA AT THE GREENWOOD
THEATRE, JANUARY 9.

The following criticism Of Katinka,
the famous musical play, which will
be presented at the Greenwood Thea
tire, Jan. 9th, is reproduced from the
\ Daily Florida Times Union Of Decem-
Der rs, 1915:
Katinka, musical play, the book
and lyrics by Otto Hauerbach and the
music by Rudolph Frimi, has reached
Jacksonville within few months aft
er a very long and highly successful
run in New York at one Of the most
popular theatres. The people of this
cltytare therefore to be congratulated
upon the opportunity that is thus af-
forded---for katinka is one of the
moat pronounced hits of the past sew
er3l years, and is an offering preten-
ti9us and excellent. Katinka is fas-
tastic little story involving the love
aEairs of few Russians, Turks and
eistrians, and is thoroughly pictur-
,-Rque, sufficiently reasonable to require
no great stretch of the imagination,
and is filled with bright, lively and
thoroughly enjoyable music. The be-
trothal of pretty little Katinka, fair
and romantic maiden, to an old, ugly
and disagreeable Russian nobleman
is the motif around which the story
runs. This is the work of ambitious
mother who is looking for money and
position, and has thus planned to foil
the intentions Of a handsome young
officer who is nadly in love with the
girl. Mother has managed to seize love
messages sent between the lovers, and
tells katinka that her gallant Ivan,
who has gone to Austria, is false and
will not return. The marriage to the
Russian noble takes place, and then,
while the feast in still in progress,
the young officer returns. He learns
that Katinka has been deceived, and

The Habit Of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take q cold sponge
bath every morning when you first get
out Of bed--no ice cold, but a temper
ature Of about 300 F. Also sleep with
your window up. Do this and you
will seldom take cold. When you do
take cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and get rid of it as quickly
as possible, obtainable everywhere.
