Hot Springs, Nov. 5.-Prosecuting Attorney Witt has at last relieved the anxiety in regard to the assistant prosecutor and has ramed George P. Wilmington. Wilmington is an ex- member of the lower house of the State legislature, and WAS a candidate against Witt for the nomination for prosecuting attorney. He came ori- ginally from North Carolina. but has resided here for some years, most of which time he has been active in Gar land county politics. His bitter at tacks upon Judge Wood created a larfe share of the interest in the race for the nomination for prosecuting attorney for this district.

COSI OF FERTILIZER AND OH,
INSPECTIONS is TOO GREAT
IN GEORGIA.

Disclosures Made by the Legislative
investigating Committee. Com
missioner Hudson on the Stand.
Men Paid for Doing Nothing.
ATLANTA.-With the full com
mittee present the AuIt agricultural
investigating tribunal began its probe
OF the agricultural department Fri
day, Commissioner T. G. Hudson be-
ing on the stand most of the day.
1t became clear from the trend of
the inquiry today that the whole eff
fort of the committee will be center
ed on trying to devise some new
method for inspection of oil and fer
tiIizers so as to make it more effect
i've and cheaper
Present Law Is Lax.
Commissioner Hudson admitted
that the present law as to inspectors
was antiquated, cumbersome and
lax, and that 1T should be changed
1t was brought out early in the
investigation that the cost of oil in
spect1on was too great. In the in
spectlon Of tank of oil the cost to
the manufacturer is about $51, of
which amount the state receives only
So. The balance goes for the salary
of the inspector and the expense of
the inspection.
That perhaps upwards of $4,000
OF the states money is spent annu-
ally for fertilizer inspection when
there is no way of telling whether or
not inspections are made; that a
large amount of this money goes to
men who have never even inspected
one sack of fertilizer; that fertilizer
inspectors are chosen for personal
reasons, and that it not infrequently
happens that inspectors are appoint
ed when none are needed were
among other facts brought out.
One Sample Costs $500.
1t was shown by records before
the committee that a single sample
of fertilizer has cost the state in the
neighborhOod of $500, while from
the records it appeared that it is not
an uncommon occurrence for an in
spectOr to hold office two or three
months, during which time he does
not inspect a single sack of fertilizer
In some of these cases men have been
sick and their territory has been COW
cred by other inspectors, the state
paying two inspectors for the work
one should do. In many other cases
however, it is shown by the records
inspectors have gone as long as three
months without turning in a single
sample of inspected fertilizer.
No Reports Made.
Until recently fertilizer inspectors
have been required to make no re,
ports further than to forward to the
commissioner of agriculture's office
such samples as are taken. This be
ing the case, those who took no sam
| pies made no reports, and the com
missioner said that neither he MOI
his assistants had an means of find
ing out whether the inspector was al
work or not. Since the appointment
of the committee it is shown inspect
ors have been required to make
weekly statements as to the work
done by them.

HELPFUL HINT ON HAIR HEALTH
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by Carelessness.

Dandruff is a contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use a comb
or brush used by some one else. No
matter how Clearly the owner may
be these articles may be infected
with microbes which will infect your
scalp. 1t is far easier to catch hair
microbes than it is to get rid of
them, and a single stroke of an in
fected comb or brush may we'll lead
to badness. Never try on anybody
else's hat. Many a hatband is a rest
ing place for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandTuff, itching scalp, falling hair
or badness we have a remedy which
we believe will completely relieve
these troubles. We are so sure of
this that we offer to you with the
understanding that it will cost you
nothing for the trial if it does not
produce the results we claim. This
remedy is called ReXall 1913" Hair
Tonic. We honestly believe it to be
the most scientific remedy for scalp
and hair troubles, and we know of
nothing else that equals 1t FOR erect
iveness because of the results it has
produced in thousands of cases.
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic is devised
to Danish dandruff, restore natural
color when its loss has been brought
about by disease, and make the hair
noturally silky, soft and glossy. 1t
does this because it stimulates the
hair follicles, destroys the germ mat
ter, and brings about free, healthy
circulation of blood, which nourishes
the hair roots, causing them to tight
en- and grow new hair. We want ev-
erybOdy who has any trouble with
hair or scalp to know that we think
that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is the
best hair tonic and restorative in ex-
istence, and no one should scott at or
doubt this statement until they have
put our alcims to a fair test, with
the understanding that they pay us
nothing for the remedy if it does
not full and complete satisfaction in
every particular. Two sizes-50
cents and $1.00. Remember you can
obtain Rexall Remedies in Dawson
only at our store-The Rexall Store.

INVESTIGATORS ARE DELVING INTO THE system

One of the most astonishing feat
ures of the committees investiga-
ton was the apparent ease with
which, man appointed fertilizer in
spector would draw his monthly sal
airy Of 1888 without even making
"a pretense at earning it,
1t was shown from the records
and admitted by both Commissioner
Hudson and his chief clerk, Mr..
johnson, that there are many men
who acted as inspectors in 1910 and
1911 for from one to five months
who during that time did not take a
single sample of fertilizer, but who
drew their salary with startling reg
ularity
G. j. Brunelo of GAINESVILLE and
Brunswick served as inspector at
each place for two months, but from
neither town did he send a sample
obtained by inspecting a sack of fer
tilizer. In addition, it was admitted
he was appointed for the second two
months term after having failed to
do any work during the first half of
his term of service.
SAG Salary for No Work.
R. F. Napier of Hawkinsville, as
signed to duty in Twiggs county, re-
ceived $416.65 from the state for his
services for five months, and yet dur
ing this time the records show that
he failed to send in even one sample
of inspected fertilizer. L. J. Kilburn
Of Macon was inspector for six
months, and sent only nine samples.
fHhnrn cnNrnro1 f1 81,
ing plants in Macon, the output of
which is supposed to be inspected.
e. E. Slack of Triton went three
months drawing pay from the state
without inspecting any fertilizer.
Cases of inspectors who drew two
months pay without sending in a
single sample were almost too num-
erous to attract passing attention
from the committee after it had got
ten thoroughly into the matter.
Among those shown to be in this
class were: L. c. Griffin of Ameri-
Gus, W. R. Groves of Lincolnton, J.
B. Oliver of Quitman, w. ]. Reid of
EllavilIe, G. D. Smalley of feathers
vile, w. J. Smith of Plains, A. S.
Souter of Preston, Charles Cunning
ham of Oglethorpe, and w. E. Drain
of Buena Vista.
Fault of System"
When called upon to explain why
such conditions were allowed to ex-
list Commissioner Hudson stated that
it was largely due to the fault of
the system" When he took over the
duties of the Office he holds, he stat
ed, he followed the precedent he
| found" He admitted that there are
] glazing faults in the system, that a
system of checking the work of the
inspectors has been badly needed for
years and admitted that the state an
nually pays goodly sums for fertil-
izer inspections which it never gets

POST PLEAS FOR PARDON
NOTICE OF APPLICATIONS MUST
BE ADVERTISED 80 DAYS.
Gov. Brown VIII Require That Notice
Be Posted at Court House Where
Crime Was Committed.

OoN. brown VIII Require That Notice
Be Posted at Court House Where
Crime Was Committed.
Hereafter when any convict in the
Georgia penitentiary wants pardon
he will be required to have posted
on the bulletin board at the court
house in the county in which he was
convicted, thirty days in advance of
his application to the prison commits
sion, notice of the fact that such ap-
pIication is to be made.
This is a new ruling which Gov.
Brown decided upon concurrently
with entering the executive office,
and the purpose of it is to give notice
to any persons who may desire to op-
pose such application and present the
other side of the case.
Possibly there has not been a sin
gle governor who has not granted
executive clemency in certain cases
in which he would not have done SO
II he had been in possession of all
the facts in the case, and frequently
the failure to get them in such cases
is due to the fact that those who
might oppose the application are not
aware that it is being considered.
Will Go Slow ON PardOns.
This requirement, Gov. Brown
said, will impose no undue hardship
upon any applicant for executive
clemency, if he is worthy of it. Such
notice can be placed on the court
house bulletin board without ex-
pense, and it will give notice to any
one concerned who may desire to be
heard and to present the other side
of the case. In that way only can
all the facts be brought out, and a
just determination of a case be
reached.
Governor Brown also stated that
he did not consider the pardon power
was granted for the purpose merely
of reviewing the evidence presented
to the courts and their action upon
1t; that in his opinion pardons should
only be granted in cases in connec-
ton with which new and favorable
evidence is presented to the execu-
tive which the jury could not have
heard, or in case of certain develop
ments subsequent to trial and con-
viction
