THE VALUE CT CHARCOAL.

Few people know the benefit derived
from the use of charcoal. 1t is not a
drug. 1t simply abscrbs the gases when
taken into the system and acts as a ma
tural and safe cathartic. 1t sweeteho
the breath after smoking, eating onions
and other odorous vegetables. 1t not only
absorbs the injurious gases of the sys-
tenn, hnt disinfects the mouth and throat
from the poison of catarlh, whitens the
teeth, and clears and improves the com
plexion. Charcoal lozenges are usually
mixed with honey and are pleasant to
take. Ibid.

HARBOR DREDGING TO COMMENCE
NEXT MONTH.

Although it was believed for a time
that the dredging OF the harbor would
have to be indefinitely postponed, be-
cause of the lack OF sufficient funds to
carry on the work, a recent appropria-
ton of $500, 600 by Congress for this
specific work has made it possible to go
ahead.
The preliminary arrangements are al
ready well under way, and it is believ-
ed that the big suction dredger, Captain
Houston will begin work next month.
When this work is once under way, it
will go on steadily until the deep ship
channel surveyed by the U. S.. Engi-
neers, is complete. The shore lines in
Puerta de TERRA will be entirely chang
ed when the work is all finished.
The work of dredging the harbor has
been very much delayed because mate
rials needed, the poneo0ns for the piping
etc. have not yet arrived, They are
being made on the mainland, and are
to be shipped down on the decks of

$1,O00, 900 FOR ROADS

Last Saturday the people of Hinds
 county voted on a proposition to issue bonds in the sum of $1,000O0 for the further, improvement of the public roads the vote carrying affirniatively more than two to one, though a very snar vote was boiled. The average mar claimed to have been too busy to go to he polls. Hinds county has already 'pent more than this sum on her roads giving them a thick coat of gravel. but
 unfortunately the road beds were made too narrow and there was no binding for the gravel. The result is that half the roads Of the county have been washed off into the creek bottoms, and in man. places the mud is about as bad as ever These defects are to be cured as soon as possible, and the entire sum of one million dollars will be spent, as needed :, in repairing and taking care of the roads that have already been built. Ii ia claimed by the road enthusiasts tbat even if half the million expended ha been wasted. 1t is by no means lost for the reason that land values have haen more than doubled and property in tbe county is now worth millions more tb,n it was before the gravel roads vera constructed.
