ARE -MlcR oBEs IN YOUR SCALP! !
Il Has Beeif Proved that Microbes Cause
-. Badness.

Professor Unna Of Hamburg, Germany,
and Dr.. Sabourand, the leading french
dermatologist, discovered that microbe
causes baldYess. Their theory has time
and again-boen amply verified through re-
search experiments carried on under the
observation of eminent scientists. This
microbe lodges in the Sebum, which Is the
natural hafr oil, and when permitted TO
flourish it destroys the hair tollleles ana IN
time the. pores entirely close, ana the scalp
gradually. takes on a shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope of the
growth of hair being revived.
WerhaveGa remedy which will, we hon.
estly believe, remove dandrutf, extermi-
nate the microbe, promote good circulation
In the .scalp' and around the hair roots,
tighten and, revitalize the hair roots, and
overcome badness, 50 long as there Is any
life left In the hair roots.

MEMPHIS UNDER ]; WATER. 1T. r
Extracts From Letter Written

. Dear Papa: Have only time to drop q
line. Memphis Is In a bad shape today
and water still rising, but no possible dan.
ger OF Its getting up In town. All OF
North. Memphis under water and houses
being washed away. No gas In city, and
water supply is contaminated. The city
has turned over the testing Of water to
Agee and myself and itis keeping us going
night and day. We are doing the best we
can with gasoline and alcohol stoves.
Don't get uneasy II you don't hear from
me in the next few weeks. Am drinking
distilled water.
The Lstreet car line that I usually go.
home on Is under water tonight-the lev
ees broke on it today. Ego on another car
now, but have to walk some distance.
About 1000 negroes were rounded up
this P. NJ. and carried across the river TO
work on levees. When the boat started, q
number jumped overheard and SWAN
back. Can't see negro on the streets to-,
night. Have just heard that the levees
below here broke this P. N. No telling
what amount OF damage will be dOne.i
Every boat brings in homeless people from
across the river.
Boats are running up the streets now
where street cars were running several
days ago. Never saw 80 much water In all
Of my life. Raining hard now, which does
not help the situation.

OPINION IN FERGUSON CASE

The following is the opinion of the
Supreme Court granting J. H. Fergu-
son a new trial: .. b.
Testimony as produced at the
trial tended to show that the son,
J. H. Ferguson, was in his own house
and a quarrel took place between him
and his father; John Ferguson. The
mother made an assertion to which
the son replied "You are damn lie."
At this the father took offense and
started at the son. The son claimed
that the father was approaching him
with an open knife with the intent
of killing him. The son then pointed
his pistol at the father in order, as
he claimed, to bluff him off. The pis-
tol discharged and the father was
killed. The younger Ferguson In his
defense claimed that the pistol was
discharged accidentally.
Ferguson was indicted for murder
and was convicted Of manslsughter.
The exceptions were all taken to the
charge Of the circuit judge to the jury
that convicted Ferguson. The appeal
of the defendant was sustained and
he will get new trial. $780,. - -.
In reviewing the errors Of the
charge to the jury the opinion con-
cludes: .e
Taking the charge on this subject
as a whole, the jury may have con.
cluded that the burden was upon the
defendant to prove that the killing,
was accidental, which is not the law.
Judgment reversed" =.

"Polly of the Circus" Frederic Thomp-
sons production, which comes to the opera
house April 18th, is one Of the successes OF
a decade. Presented for the first time in
New York three years ago, it remained
one season at the Liberty Theatre and
since that time hrs repeated it's triumph
in nearly every large city in the country.
When Margaret Mayo wrote this romance
of the sawdust ring, she worked with
proper materials. To the substructure Of
the play, Fred Thompson added a super
structure of 10 really unusual production
and the results have been dramatic en-
tertain meni that promises to continue to
appeal to all classes of theatregoers, SO
long as the American theatre-goers' veins
run red with blood. Miss Ida St. Leon
will be seen in the title roll, surrounded
by the original cast.

Lowndesville April 8, 1912.
All-fools day, Monday, was uneventful
excepting that missives in April fool trap.
pings were still In evidence were sent and
received. These disturbers Of accustomed
serenity have in a great measure taken
their place among the things that were.
Yet the same old time propensity, a re-
minder Of years ago crops out, where
nothing better offers.
Tuesday was ,one of the worst, for its
high winds, which swept away, the mois-
ture in the soil and made some Of 1t very
hard to plow.
At the usual annual municipal election
on Tuesday it was decided that the follow
ing will compose the council for the COM
ing twelve months; Mr.. D. L. Barnes,
Intendendent, and Messrs. J. 81. Bell, Will
Ellis, S. B. Cook, E. F. Latimer, wardens.
Wednesday quite cool change in the
weather. Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday some frost was noticeable in
places.
Mrs. j. B. Moseley went to Chester, G.
H. Wednesday to visit for time her bro
ther, Capt. W G. Johnson.
MI. j. M. iHuckabee went to Spartan
burg, G. H. Wednesday on business.
The 6 p. m. closing of the stores and
shops in this town began the first Of last
week, and the buyers had better remem-
ber this change to avoid probable trouble.
Miss Lou Austin Of Honea Path for the

prepared and bountiful picnic dinnerl
While Easter was by n. means AM ideal
day, yet it was far better in several re-
spects than nearly all Of the Sundays in
the past four months it was gladly well
coined and enjoyed as it was. An Easter
service was held in the Methodist Church
at 80 am. Only a few flowers and
potted plants were used for decorations.
The pastor used as theme for his dis
course passage Of scripture taken from
the 1st. chapter, 1st Peter 8, "a, and
verses, from such an appropriate text, he
gave to his hearers very interesting SER
mon and one very encouraging to believ-
ers. The preachers Easter ,duties were
somewhat mixed. He was called upon and
went several miles in the country, and
performed marriage ceremofiy between
Mr.. J. Mccullough and Miss Eunice Nc
