number of presents that can be pur-
chased
Every dollar that is contributed will
add to the Christmas JOY of some lit
tie person in the city. Remember
the delight that came to you in your
childhood at the sight of the we'll
filled stocking-the shrieks of surprise
and happiness that greeted each lit
tie present as 1t came to view-and
tnen mail your check to The Georgian
for as much as you can afford.

the committee selected to administer

Atlantans to contribute generously to
the movement.

A Happy Bald
Headed Man
WelI-known Politician Nearly Bald
Now Has Heavy Growth of Hair.


Western politician, well known
on account of his badness and ready
wit, surprised his friends by appear
ing with a heavy growth of hair;
many of his old friends did not know
him and others thought ne had a wig
on being asked how he did it, he
made the following statement: Il
attribute the remarkable growth of
my hair to the use of the following
simple recipe which any lady or gen.
tleman can mix at home: To a half
pint of water add OF. of bay rum,
a small box of Barbo Compound and
4 OF. glycerine. Apply to the scalp
two or three times a week with the
finger tips. 1t not only promotes the
growth of the hair but removes dan
druff, scalp humors and prevents the
hair from falling out. 1t darkens
streaked. faded, gray hair and makes
the hair soft and glossy. These in
gradients can be purchased at any
drug store at very little cost and
mixed at home"

Senator's Charge of Railroad
Domination Likely to Cause
Legislative Probe.

roT ITMBIA, S. c., Jan. 27.-Another
rsrn fight is expected tomorrow In
+bs general assembly when the senate
takes up the resolution passed over
,vbeInlingly by the house of represen-
tstives last Thursday, calling on Sena-
.o- Ben r. Tfrlman to prove the charges
made by him against the general as
ssn,hIv that 1t was controlled by the
railroads. Of the state, and that Ben L.
Ahnev. Of this city. district counsel for
tbe Southern. had the senate under his
thumb. These charges were made by
Senator Ttllman in the message he sent
me general assembly during last week,
IN which he answered the charges made
nv Governor Cole L. Blease against
him in his annual message.
In the senate Thursday the matter
came up as to whether or not the mes
sage Of Blease and the Tillman reply
would be printed in the journals, and a
bitter debate ensued, the Blease sena-
.ors demanding that both be printed,
and most Of the anti Blease men ask
ing that neither the governors annual
message nor the Tillman retort be
printed.
Personal Row, Says Opposition.
The opposition to the printing of the
messages was based on the ground that
they dealt with q purely personal mat
ter between the governor and the
United States senator, of the senator's
opposition to the governor in the 1912
primary, and the alleged influences that
brought him to oppose the governor.
In the house the fight got farther
advanced than it did in the senate
George r. Rembert, the Richland repre-
sentative, who is Blease's floor leader
offered a resolution that Tillman be
made TO prove his charges against the
members of the legislature. The reso-
luton was carried and sent to the SEN
ate 1t will likely be concurred in by
the senate. for the fight as to printing
the messages brought out strong oppo-
stion to the senator's charges and a
desire on the part of the legislators to
have an investigation. The resolution
will reach the senate tomorrow, when
the weeks session begins.
