Facts About the American Indians
Healthy 1Idir

Healthy Hair.
The American Indian accustomed from
time immemorable to go bareheaded in all
kinds of weather is never troubled with
falling hair or badness.
The close atmosphere caused by our
Civilized headgear is conducive 20 the
breeding of infinitesimal germs which dig
into the scalp and thrive on the sap of
the hair root.
This true cause of badness is of recent
discovery and explains the non-success of
all hair vigors which treated badness al
a functional disorder.
Newbro's Herpicide is a direct extermi-
nator of the germ. 1t destroys the cause
intended. fta

to enter the suit. The letter was deliver.

er let curiosity get the best of him and
picked up the letter and read it. The let

That was enough for the rich oldfafm-

my word, the mortgage was due at one

The Responsibility Of the Governor,

The Responsibility OF the Governor.
The great number of petitions for par
don, or communication of sentences which
come to the governor from time to time,
makes it seem right that such an extra
responsibility should be removed from
the care Of the governor. Not that the
petitions are not dealt with in a wise and
efficient manner, but for the chief magis.
trate to be weighted with such terrible
responsibility, together with the great
number of other important matters which
come to him for adjustment, seems to be
somewhat of an imposition.
Why should not this duty be put in
charge of committee of, say five men?
These men appointed by the governor
would hear petitions and conduct investi.
cations, and make final report to the gov.

ernor, who should act on their recon-

The power of life and death vested in
one man, creates responsibility which
gives him little time for aught beside that
of weighing evidence as to the justice OF
the sentence Of the court. Our chief ex'
ecutive of South Carolina is busy man
and would still be such if he were reliev.
ed of this duty by the power to appoint
such committee as before suggested.
