Do You Use 1t?

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t re-
moves d%andruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
iast as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
If you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

On the Grand Circuit.

IIartford Conn. Sept. 3.-Today's pro- gramme at Charter Oak Park was too long to be finished before dark. Two heats were necessary to bring to an end the hard fought. 2:30 trot, seven heats of which were trotted Wednesday. Town Lady won the first heat today in 2:1l. Emily took the second in 2:1Sls and won first money. Town Lady got second money, Nancy Time third and Anapolis fourth.
 The most stubbornly fought race of the day was the 2:14 pace. Ambuator ,Eas expected to win 1t, with Forest Herr and Quick Turn second and third choices. Amhulator finished in no heat better than third while Forest Herr and Quick Turn were distanced in the second heat by Quadriga who surprised all the knowing g ones by going the mile in 2:09A. Favor then showed the way home in the three other heats in fast time and apparently with speed to spare.
 The Abbott won the 2:18 t-ot in straight heats. He seeme'I winded when hs finished the second teat, and many look ed for Lucy Carr to take the third, but she was not equal to 1t.
 Star Pointer won from Joe Patchen with apparent ease. It had been agreed that each hcraa should alternate at the pole and tks toss of penny decided which should start in that position. Mir. Murphy, ownar of Star Pointer, won the toss. In the second heat Joe Patchen had the pole and Pointer had to travel lit- f, tie faster to get to the wire first, and that ] h:at was done in 2:0S%.
 The crowd was disappointed in the race. Tn the three heats the two horses travebed the mifs side by side, Pointer gaining about half a length in the home stretch and keeping it to the wire. The race was without any other feature, and there was general belief that the horses were not driven as fast as they could go. There was disappointment at the slow time and there was no cheers when it was announced
 Only one heat was trotted in th= 2:1O trot.

Backing up McLsurlp,

Governor Atkinson OF Georgia
takes the same view of the tariff aues
ton as does Congressman McLaurin OF
this State. He believes that if protec-
ton is to be the policy OF this govern
ment its alleged benefits should be
shared by all sections In the course
of speech delivered by him q few
days ago Gov. Atkinson said: ''The
South should have her proportionate
share of protection even though her
statesmen would not lnaugurate it as
policy OF government, and it would
be gross wrong for Congress to dis
criplinate againgt Southern manufac
tucHrs because our people believe the
best general policy is tariff as low as
the reeds of the government will per
nit. When the majority decides for
protection, ther all should share alike.
1t is q olunder IN our public men
to permit one section TO have
protection and refuse it for the
South. II protection IS the banner
hcisted by the majority. it should
float over all sections without discrim-
iaation. We must meet conditions as
we find them. We pay our share OF
the taxes; we are entitled to protection
II it is given to other sections"

State treasurer from the privilege tax
on fertilizers for this and last year
shows that the difference is small, in
spite OF the alarming report sent out
by correspondents that never before
had such amounts Of guano, been sold
in their neighborhooos. For this
year the privilege tax up to this time
aggregates $50, 1888 while last year
it was S54, 524 81; a difference Of ST.
451.56 in favor Of this year. The
privilege tax is 25 cents ton and
four times 81, 4515G gives the number
OF tons more sold this than last year,
which is $500 tons Proportioned
equally among the counties Of the
State the amount of fertilizers used ia
each this year is 145 tons in excess Of
that used last AL OF this tax goes to
the support of Clemson. Though the
amount is $50, ,975. 90, Clemson has to
pay back to the State $4,000 which
was overDaid one year by clerical
error. That is to be returned 10 the
State this year, and will reduce the
