DandrufY and Iitching Scalp Yield to
Zemo Treatment.

Why should you continue to eXpe-
riment with salves, greasy lotions
and fancy hair dressings trying to
rid your scalp of germ life. They
can't do it because they cannot pene-
trate to the seat of the trouble and
draw the germ life to the surface OF
the scalp and destroy it.
Why not try a proven remedy
one that will do this? We have a
remedy that will rid the scalp of
germ life and in this way will cure
DANDRUFF and ITCHING SCALP.
This remedy is ZEMO, a clean, re-
| fined, penetrating scalp tonic that
| goes right to the seat of the trouble
and drives the germ life TO the sur
/ face and destroys it.

tic) SOAP and one application oil

BIG COURT IN EARLY COUNTY
LAING WORKS TO CLEAR DOCKET
BEFORE GOING OUT OF OFFICE.
Blind Tigers Get Rough Shedding,
and Pistol TOters Fare But Little
Better When Convicted.

Solicitor General Laing has re-
turned home from Blakely, where he
attended a busy session of Early SUI
perior court.
The grand jury returned rs true
bills in nine days, eight being blind
tiger cases. OF these all of the de-
PENDANTS who were convicted got
straight changing sentences from
Judge Worrill, regardless of their
color.
Pistol toters have also Jared hard
at the hands of the court. One ne
gro who shot at another at a church
gathering drew a 80 months SEN
tence out of the four phases of his
offense-8 months for disturbing
public worship, months for shoot
ing at another, months for carry
ing a concealed weapon and 8 months
for carrying a pistol without a Ii
cense.
Two negro murder cases were
tried One defendant received a life
sentence and the other was convicted
OF voluntary manslaughter and given
IA years.
Solicitor Laing is endeavoring to
clear the dockets of the circuit as
near as possible before retiring from
office January 1st next, when he will
be succeeded by B. T. Castellow, and

FUSED OVER WILSON CHECK
VALDOSTA POLITICIANS FIGHT
ING OVER CAMPAIGN MONEY.
''Smith and Brown Row Breaks Out.
Money Has Gone on, Though,
Which Is Main Thing.

ATLANTA.-Down in Valdosta
the question as to who should have
the honor of forwarding the sum of
| $107, collected in Lowndes county
for the national democratic campaign
fund, has assumed such proportions
| that it is now the subject of litigation
in Lowndes superior court
The trouble over the VaIdosta sub
scriptiOn to the Wilson fund became
| known here when an Atlanta law
| firm was requested to secure deposi-
| tions from certain parties who have
charge of forwarding the Georgia
subscriptions to national headquar-
tiers.
| AS far as can be learned here the
Valdosta fund was collected on the
understanding that it should be for
warded through Col. Charles R. Pen
dleton, editor of the Macon Tele-
graph, a former citizen of Valdosta,
and whose paper is assisting in the
collection of the Georgia fund.
The Understanding.
This is said to have been the I'M
derstanding of Editor G. G. Brantley
Of the ValdOsta Times.
Enter now the Hoke Smith horn
of the dilemma. L. c. Holzendorf
of Valdosta, who, it seems, was treas
urer and a we'll known Smith man,
determined, if he could prevent it,
the Wilson fund from ValdOsta
should not be transmitted through
the Joe Brown channels, and accord
ingly planned to send it on himself.
The report that such was Mr.. HOl-
zedorf's intention became current,
grew and spread until it reached Mr..
Brantley's ears Following an injunc-
ton, temporary until the merits of
the case could be heard, restraining
the aforesaid Holzendorf from fol-
lowing his Hoke Smith proclivities.
Already Forwarded.
But unfortunately for the other
side when the injunction was issued
and served upon Mr.. Holzendorf he
answered that he had already for
warded the $107 to Asa G. Gambler
of Atlanta and could not therefore
hold it to await the determination OF
the court.
Mr. Holzendorf's political enemies,
it is said, are trying to prove that he
did not forward the money until af-
ter the injunction was issued.
Therefore, Mr.. Gambler and Frank
Weldon, treasurer, have been ques-
toned by Atlanta lawyers to see if
they can throw any light on the sub
ject.
Sent the Check On.
According to Mr.. Weldon he re-
ceived the check from Mr.. Gambler
about Monday, Oct. eth. He imme-
diately sent he check on to the ma
tional committee, and the chances are
that by this time it has gone to pay
a printers bill or the expenses of
some democratic campaign orator
who is Smelling the woods for Wilson.
Mr.. Weldon and Mr.. Gambler re
/ fuse to talk; they do not want to get
mixed up in a local fight as to how
/ the money should be sent.
The Valdosta fund went where it
was intended it should go, all right,
all right; and the only question the
/ court now has to decide is whether
the right man sent it through the
wrong channel.
1t is a mOmentous question:
Valdosta.

SACRIFICE THE NAVY
DEMOCRATIC POLICY AGAINST IN.
TERESTS OF THE COUNTRY.
Leaders Are Playing a Dangerous
Game and the Voters Understand
Fully the Reasons Which
Have Actuated Them.

The Democrats in control of the low
err house of congress are apparently
desperate in their determination to
make a showing for economy before
the voters of the country in the presi-
Dental campaign. Having wasted a
considerable sum of money in a fu.
tile attempt to find, by means of many
| Investigations, scandals which could
be saddled upon the last two Repub.
llican administrations. they applied the
knife mercilessly to the appropria-
ton bill
The most noteworthy omission In
the bill as 1t came from committee Is
the absence OF an appropriation for
new battleships. The plan upon
which congress has been proceeding
for some time past contemplates two
est program, for, at the rate that for
eign navies are being strengthened,
1t would ensure nothing more than
that this country would retain Its
relative position among maritime
powers.
The Democratic congressman are
playing dangerous game. They are
seizing upon the cutlery against the
needlessness and devastation of war
and the heavy expense entailed In
the maintenance of effective navies as
an excuse for policy whose real OBJ
ject Is temporary party advantage.
Most OF them. as practical men. real

They know what would have hap

Spain In response to a wave OF anger
which swept over the United States,
the Spanish navy had been as for

and that OF this country had been
small and poorly equipped. They
know that the Panama canal, the Ha.

Navies and armies are a public bur
