NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

What a fortunate provision of nature it is. that deprives the rose of mental suffering; for how poignant would be it's grief to discover. in the height of it's blooming glory. that canke- fed at it's heart, and that its beauty and fragrance were doomed forever. Nature always spares the suffering; she is a veritable store-house of pleas ng rewards. for those who seek her aid. In the years gone by falling hair and grayness have cast gloom over the lives of thousands of young women. but thanks to the investi- gations of scientists the true cause of hair destruction is now known to be a germ or parasite that burrows Into the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide abso- lutely destroys this gsrm, thus permit ting the hair to grow as nature intended. Sold by leading druggists. Send i0c ir stamps for sample to The Herpic de Co. Detroit. Mich.

DALE AND COFFEE
EXAMINER REPORTS ON coUN-
 TY OFFICIALS.
Few Errozs Were Found by MT. Rut- ledge But, Assessors Have Mat erially Undervalued Prop
 erty in Assessments.

l Reports were submitted to Governor Jelks yesterday by Assistant State Ex-' aminer T. J. Rutledge on the books and | accounts of officials of Dale and Coffee Counties. With few exceptions the books and accounts were found to be cor- rect.
 Those officials of Dale County whose accounts were found correct were: A. N. Hawkins, Superintendent of Educa- tion; J. R. Levy, Clerk of the Circuit Court and G. P Bowling, Probate Judge. Examiner Rutledge found that A. D. Wall Sheriff of Dale. was due sS.S3 on overcharges for removals and feed bills. He says this amount should be remitted to balance the books of the sheriff.
 On the books of J. A. Reynolds, Tax Assessor of Dale Examiner Rutledge re- ports that he has poorly assessed the property of his county.
 There is a great undervaluation of property in this county" says the Ex- aminer. 'In many cases property is not assessed at more than 20 to % cents on the dollar of it's real market value"
 Examiner Rut;edge adds that Mir. Rey- holds has promsied him to correct the assessments as far as possible
 Tax Collector J. c. Mcintyre, of Dale. is charged with $311. .S7 by Examiner Rut- ledge. These amounts are due owing to an error in the abstract sent the State Auditor by the Probate Judge in 1901 and an error in escaped taxes in 1902
 Examiner Rutledge found the accounts of F. M. Rushing, Probate Judge Golf fee County. R. A. King, Clerk of the Circuit Court. B. F. Conner, Tax Col lector and c. w. Simmons, Superinten- dent of Education correct
 Sheriff D. D. Knight of Coffee County was found to be due $12.30 on account of overcharges on feed bills His re- moval bills were checked over and were correct.
 The books of J. M. Tally. Tax Assessor of Coffee County were found to be cor rect. Like Dale County. however. Ex- aminer Rutledge found that property in Coffee County had been undervalued in assessments He says the property in this county has been given in at about one-fourth of it's value and that Tax As- sessor ally has promised to do every thing in his power. to remedy this con ditiOn.
