One of the incidents of his crusty

to regret is thus described in the
first part of the story: "Foggier yet,

young nose, gnawed and numbed by
the hungry cold as bones are gnawed
by dogs, stopped down at Scrooge's
keyhole to regale him with Christ

God rest you merry, gentlemen!
Let nothing you dismay!'
Scrooge seized the ruler with such
energy of action that the singer fed
asked Tim Kelly, one of the inmates,
TO call Sheriff Wadman, but Kelly re-
fused to obey. 1t was then that Earl
White. another prisoner, stepped to
the barred door of the jail and called
Wadman.
Each of the prisoners is assigned to
an individual cell In the daytime,
these cells are thrown open to allow
the prisoners to exercise in the open
court which is located in front of the
cells.
To Have Guards

Board of Supervisors went OF
record to this effect, and VIZ
have a transcript ofNthat recorC
here in the Office. A committee
came from that county and in
terviewed the members of the
state board of education. and
stated that a levy would be put
on. Later | attended a mass
meeting of the citizens in the
court house at Pittsboro, and
they voted unanimously that the
levy should go on this fall.
The tax payers league which
met in that county'a little later,
likewise voted in favor of the
levy being made this fall.
The state board of education,
in view Of the fact that there
might have been a possible mis-
understanding on the part of
people of Calhoun county, and
in view of the further fact that
Calhoun county had been hard
hit by floods, etc., allowed the
county its part of the floating
fund last spring on condition
that the tax for schools be put on
by the Board Of Supervisors this
fall. If the levy is not put on
Calhoun county will not receive
its share of the floating fund
which amounts to thousands of
dollars. The other counties in
the state without a levy for
schools did not promise to put on
a levy this fall and they there
fore did not receive any part of
the equallizing fund.
If Chickasaw county, or any
other county in the state now
having a levy for public schools
Okolona messenger., 1921-09-29

does away with their levy thii
fall, such counties will not re
ceive any part of the floating
fund.
A majority of the state legis.
latuEe. and state board Of educa-
tion are of the opinion that if
the peon'e Of any county did not
think ehough of their own child
rem to help educate them, that
the state is under no obligation
to help. The people of the state
of California recently voted it
into their constitution that the
state should put up half and the
county the other half for the
education of children of that
state; thus their constitution
guarantees every child that goes
to school this fall $4,000 from
the state and requires the county
in which the child lives to put
up an additional $780, Many
other states are doing the same
thing.
Copiah county has a six and a
half mill county wide levy for
schools. Scott has six. as has
several other counties.
| cannot understand how any
people who love their children
can be satisfied not to do any
thing for them in an educational
way. Of course in those coun-
ties last year without a levy
that did not receive any of the
floating fund, the taxing dis
tricts in those counties received
their share just the same.

W. F. Bond.

Supt. Geo. D. Riley, Z
Houston, Miss,
Dear Sir:
Your letter, in referance to
the manner in which the floating
fund has been and will be dis
bursed, to the various counties
of the state, received.
The state board o& education
promised the legislature that no
part of this fund would go to
any county that did not think
enough of it's own children to
help educate them. The board
therefore notified all the coun-
ties without school levies that
unless the levies were put on
they would not receive any float
ing fund. Calhoun was one of
the three counties that did not
put on levy, and it did not re-
ceive its part Of the floating
fund last fall. The Board of
Supervisors and the people of
that county claim that they did
not thoroughly understand the
conditions for the disbursement
of this fund, and that they were
perfectly willing to put on levies
for schools and would do so at
the very first opportunity. The

Taxes Three Mill County School
Levy, A Plea For Country
Children
BY Geo. D. Riley. County Sup
erintendent Of Education

We stated last week that we
had confidence in the people OF
our county and believe that the y
would do the right thing when
not misled. Our faith is strong
er than ever. In several meet
ings that we have attended the
people have voted almost unani-
mously to keep the three mill
county school levy on. Some
who signed the petition for an
election to vote it off have thank
ed us for explaining this fund
and pledged their support, in
the interest of the country child,
in the election, October 18th.
Many were led to believe that
Chickasaw county would have
received its prorata of the float
ing fund without a local school
levy, and were told that Calhoun
county did receive its share and
had not and would not make a
county school levy. We hope
that you read Supt. Hannaford's
letter last week. in which he
said: The Public Schools of
Calhoun county did not receive
one cent from the floating fund
last year, except So, ,421 for the
taxing districts. State Super
intepdent W. F. Bond is more
emphatic. 1t is impossible to
misinterpret his meaning when
he states: IF Chickasaw county,
or any other county in the State

AUTOMOBILE TAXATION

When certain we'll meaning peo-
pie discuss means for augment
ing the federal revenue they sug-
gest adding another tax on the
automobile.
They go on the theory that if a
man has money enough to own a
car he can afford to pay an add
itional tax for the pleasure of it's
use, apparently giving no thought
to the fact that the car owner is
already paying heavily for that
privilege.
When the tax assessor comes
around he lists a mans automo-
bile as a part of his property. up
on which taxes are paid.
He pays an annual license fee
to the state and to the city in
which he lives. 1t is true, however,
that in some of the smaller towns
mo city license is required.
He pays an excessive price for
the gas and oil which he uses, and
in some states one cent a gallon of
the cost of gas goes into the tax
fund. This simply adds a cent to
the price of gasoline.
There are many excellent auto
mobile repair men, but the coun-
try is overrun with a lot of sharks
who know about as much about
the mechanism of a car as doc
tor does about shoeing a horse.
The car owner doesn't find these
birds out until they put his car on
the s'blink" and they have to have
| the work done over again. The law
affords him no protection against
these sharks. unles he takes the
matter into court in the way of a
civil suit.
If a. pedestrian suddenly steps
In front of a moving car without
warning and is injured it is al
ways the driver who is at fault
and who pays the bill. Public SEN
| timent never comedies that it is
possible for him to be in the right.
The automobile is i'm greater
use today than the horse and bug
gy, and motor vehicles are rapid
ly displacing the wagon in COM
mercial use
| We hear no crying demand for
placing a special tax ON wagons
and buggies, or horses or mules.
And yet periodically some ex-
| cellent citizen arises and demands
that.
The car owner has been well
piucked as it is.
He should not be pared to the
| bone.

TOO LONG SIGHTED

There is a great tendency on the
part of the American people to
make a close study of conditions
in other parts of the world. This
in itselfwould be wise and praise
worthy were it not for the fact
that In so doing we consume much
time that should be devoted to the
scrutiny of affairs nearer home.
The haphazzard maner in which
many of our public affairs are
conducted is evidence of this fact:
If the public at large would
make a sincere and determined
affort to widen it's scope of know
ledge upon national. state and To-
cal requirements we would be able
to send representatives to Wash
ington who would work in har-
mony with our desires and not at
random as is now too often the
case.
In this way we could have q
congress more representative OF
the true requirements of the
people, al congress more devoted
to the welfare of all the pen~le
as whole and less so to certain
interest that work while we sleep.
Long sight is q desired possess
sion but only when it does not OBJ
scure the vision at closer range.

GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, SO we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in q glass of water
before breakfast each morning for few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera.
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is source of irri-
tation. thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot In
lure; makes o deliQhtfH efervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys- clean. and active. Try this, also
keen up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became Of
your kidney trouble and backache.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses It's coI0S ana lustre.
or when 1t fades, turns gray. dull and
Iifeless Is caused by lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up o mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands OF women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade OF hair which Is SO at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition OF other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for q bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, 20 evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell 1t has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound Is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications. it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance OF abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not In
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention OF disease.
