DEATH FINALLY CAME TO
YOUNG MACON BANKER

After quietly facing for week
the inevitable result Of his mis-
take in taking bichloride of mer-
curry, thinking it headache tab
lets, B Sanders Walker, a promi-
nent young banker of Macon.
Ca. died Thursday morning at
1:35 o'clock. Members of the
family had gathered at the bed
side several days before when
the doctors announced there was
no hope for him, and to them
Mr.. Walker gave no sign of a
tremor, but went to his death
with a resignation that has rem
dered the case more than usually
interesting throughout the coun-
try. During the last day he was
under the influence of opiates
most Of the time, but in conscious
Intervals gave evidence that he
was not suffering.
Scores of sympathetic mes
sages were received by the fami-
ly and many of them were in the
nature of inquiries as to the
treatment being given Mr.. Walk
er. 1t was, however, impossible
to find out definitely what course
the physicians took, as they re-
fused to talk, except to briefly
state the progress Of the poison's
slow but deadly work.

Good Rains Throughout State.

Rain, which has fallen in large
and satisfying quantities in the
greater part of the State during
the last few days, has made the
outlook for the farmer brighter
than it has been for some time.
There are yet some dry spots
which are suffering still from
want of rain, but showers that
count have fallen in the large
majority of the counties, and
almost every growing thing in
field and garden has become
greener.
If the weather conditions con-
tinue as good, there is every
reason to expect good average
cotton crop. This crop will not
be a bumper crop. according to
the present indications, but for
this very reason the price will be
higher.

accomplishes until for some reason
she leaves undone those things she
ought to do.

something to take off my tan"
During the summer you were de-
lighted with your fine brown color;
in fact, you tried to get as tanned as
possible, but now that you are home
and beginning to think of going to
the theater and to parties, not one of
your hats or frocks seem to look well
with your darkened skin. And to cap
the climax of your annoyance and
distress you find that for every shade
that your complexion has turned
dark your hair-from going without
a hat-has turned a shade lighter.
You feel like "bleached blond"
But you can bleach your skin out
in a very few weeks if you go at it
in the right manner. There is moth
ing that is finer bleach than per-
spiration, so first you must take
sweat bath at least twice a week.
You need not go to the Turkish bath
house to do this. Just put. half
pint of alcohol in pint pail and put
