NEGLECTED COLDS
OFTEN DANGEROUS

A cold that hangs on for weeks and
stubbornly resists ordinary remedies
NAV prove the entering wedge for seri-
Gus illness. Such cold generally re-
suits in loss of weight, thinning OF the
blood and general weakness.
This condition emphatically calls Tor
tonic to build up the blood. Rich, red
blood will tone up the entire system
strengthen the nerves and give health
and yigor TO the body.
Begin treatment at once with the
non. alcoholic tonic which Mr.. Walter
Whitford, OF No. SO Paris street, Ever
EFT. Mass, endorses.
Il caught severe cold last fall,
saws Mr.. Whitford, "and it hung on
from week to week until ! began to
despair of getting rid OF it. ] suffered a
general break down in health and was
tired and languid. ! lost my appetite
and could not sleep well. There was 9
pain in my back and | felt sick all
over.
"A friend recommended DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, so | got box and began TO
take them. In short time | began TO
regain my strength. Ny appetite i'm.
proved in a few days. and now J feel
even better than | did before had the
cold. | strongly urge anyone in need OF
tonic to try DIR. Williams PINK
Pills"

Even Exceeded Most San
guine Expectations in
Some Respects
DECLARED SIMS
AT NEWPORT, R. l.
While Addressing the Glass
at Naval War College
Graduation

Newport. II. l., May 22.-Rear Ad-
mira William S. Sims, president of the
naval war college, in his address at
the graduation of this years class to-
day, said that barring a very few cases,
"'our navy personnel not only respond
ed to all requirements, but exceeded
our most sanguine expectations in the
endurance, zeal and loyal initiative
they displayed" in the World war
This applies" he said, mot only TO
/. the forces in the war zone, but to the
fnavy in general, and particularly TO
tie very intelligent and skillful hand
ling of the transport services i'll Ell
fective cooperation with the forces
abroad"
He urged the members of the class
to explain to the officers under their
command the great influence which
they might exert, for good or for
evil upon the civil population in war
time.
This is a matter" he said, which
concerns the peoples confidence or lack
OF confidence in their military leaders.
Much of this influence is exerted
through the unofficial opinions ex-
pressed by officers to their civilian ac-
quaintances, and by the reflection OF
these opinions in the press.
"That their opinions had marked
influence upon the conduct of the late
war there can be no doubt, nor can
there be any doubt that this influence
was detrimental. 1t could hardly have
been otherwise, because the great mass
of such opinions must necessarily have
beeen based upon incomplete informa-
ton, and much even of this informa-
tion was necessarily erroneous.
He said it was natural that some
officers should have expressed opinions
upon the conduct of the war when
questioned by anxious relatives and
friends and that these opinions later
appeared Gin many grotesquely mis-
taken editorials criticizing the strategy
and conduct" of the army and navy,
casually based upon the expressed au-
<thority of so-called experts"
II believe" he went on, that few
people know the extent to which pub
lie opinion was formed in this man
psr. or the extent to which such neces-
sarilv erroneous opinions actually in
fuenced even many of the most i'm
portant government officials, both in
our country and in illied countries"
Admiral Sims said that during the
war he received many letters of criti-
cism, from leading members OF the
government" naval officers and civil
ians.
Without exception he said, they

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1920-09-02
WOMEN HAVE NOT
BEGUN To REGISTER
Either Do Not Know That They Have
the Right or Are Indifferent Here
About the Ballot.

An inspection Of the registration
books fails to find the name Of sin
gle woman who intends to avail her
self Of the opportunity to vote. BY
registering now women may be able
to vote at any election held four
months later, but they will not be
permitted to vote at any election held
during that period.
The question of poll tax has been
raised; but since the laws Of the state
do not require women to pay poll tax
es, this cannot be an obstacle. Be
sides, they will be in the attitude Of
minors becoming of age; the would
be eligible to vote until they have been
assessed and had an opportunity to
paw at the regular time Of collecting
taxes.
1t is very plain that any woman
who can read and write or who can
understand the constitution when read
to her and who has not been convicted
of any crime against the peace and
dignity of the state of Mississippi,
! is eligible to register now and vote
four months thereafter at any cleo
ton held.
The editors Of the Reveille are not
candidates for office, therefore this
cannot be misunderstood as an invi-
tation to the fair sex TO avail them
selves Of the privileges Of the Nine
teenth Amendment in order that they
might show their appreciation by
casting their vote for US.

EXCELLENT GAME
OF BASE BALL
Rolling Fork Defeated Port Gibson
by Score Of One at the Eend Of
the Eleventh Inning.

On Monday afternoon the local team
got revenge, swamping Rolling Fork
by the score of Z to 2.
The Bear Cats got on to Newt Gag
gett right at the start and lied up a
lead which was never threatened.
Mack Jones pitched a fine game, and
got almost ~erfect support.
The features were the pitching of
ions, the batting of Toupss Wishen-
dorf, Babington, and Happy Hackett
Of Port Gibson aud the batting Of
Craft for Rolling Fork
On Tuesday afternoon the local
fans witnessed one of the best games
ever played on the local field. Roll
inr Fork won in the elenth inning on

right and Jones sacrifice fiv to left

Port Gibson rallied in their half
and threatened to prolong the strug-
gle. With one dawh Jones doubled
to deem center. Wishendorf sacri-
flced him to third, Babington walked
but when Brevard flew out to left
it was all over.

The Port Gibson team suffered twt
defeats at Rolling Fork last week, but
the royal treatment of the team bs
their hosts offset in large measure th'
hangs of defeat. And Port Gibsor
tried to treat the visitors in the same
manner this week, the towns people
even cheering the victors when they
came from the field Of battle.
There will be no more games PLAYED
this season as the team has now dis
banded, but next year is looked for

COOPERATIVE ROAD
WORK in Dist. FIVE
Farmers Of Fifth District Set Exam
pie by Building Five Miles Of Well
Graded Road at Little Cost to Tax
Payers.

The progressive people Of the Fifth
District have set an example Of CO.
operative road building which marks
the beginning Of better roads for
Claiborne county at price within the
eounty's means.
The district had about exhausted
the money received from its bond IS
sue. and the work Of grading and 9TH
erwise improving the roads Of the
district had about come to an end,
when the people residing on the Pey-
ton road got together and DECIDED that
they would cooperate in building the
road themselves. They begun work
where the gravel ended lust east Of
Pattison and completed Il IA Young
& Zones, store, distance d. five miles
Fhe road was araded, the shafp-c1r-
YES removed and the bad places grav-
eled. In fact the road Is as good as
the roads made by the engineers, ex-
cept that not all Of it is graveled, It
took three weeks to complete the
work, and at times during this period
there were as many as twenty -ilxe
teams at work on the road The
commissioners Of the district paid for
the labor and furnished the material
for the culverts and dynamite for
blasting, while the residents gave sheiI
time and teams. We are told that
four colofed farmers contributed
teams fof the work. William Hol-
der, Allen Lutz and r. B. Jones seem
to have been the leaders in the work
spending practically all Of their time
on the road.
