 The look of surprise on the savage face was almost comica1, and before Tarzan could unsIing his bow the fell low had turned and fled down the path crying out in alarm, as though to oth- CTS before him.
 Tarzan took to the trees in pursuit and in few moments came in view of the fleeing quarry. There were three of them, and they were racing madly in single file through the dense undergrowth.
 Tarzan easily distanced them, nor did they see his silent passage above their heads nor. note the crouching ng- ure squatted upon 9 low branch ahead ! of them beneath which the trail led them.
 Tarzan let the first two pass beneath him, but as the third came swiftly on the quiet moose dropped about the black throat. A quick jerk drew it taut.
 There was an agonized scream from the victim, and bis fellows turned to see his struggling body rise as by magic slowly into the dense foliage of the trees above.
 With shrfeks they wheeled once more and plunged on in their effort to es- cape.
 Tarzan dispatched his prisoner quick Iy and silently, removed the weapons and ornaments and greatest joy of all "a handsome doeskin breechc1oth, which he quickly transferred to his own person.
 Taking the body across his shoulder, he moved more slowly through the trees toward the little palisaded vii lage, for he again needed arrows.

 Waits Parade in Norfolk.
 Christmas Eve was celebrated in Norfolk in a unique manner by three bands of pupils from the schools, as-
 
 Mrs. Robbins Batte1I Stoecke1, Miss Louise Chapman, superintendent of music in the schools. and Miss Helen Randall, teacher of music. After the manner of the waits of former times in Merrie England, paraded the streets on Christmas Eve and sang carols appropriate to the occasion. In compliance with previous request, the houses were brilliantly illuminated. The celebration had the double pur- pose of attempting to exemp1ify a neighbor1y and genuine Christmas spirit and also was arranged with the hope of receiving gifts which might go toward a fund for securing a talk ing machine for the use of the scho ools. Both purposes were very happily full filled, as the carols were most thor ough1y appreciated and upwards of $50 was contributed toward the fund It is believed that the custom so hap oily begun will become as regular aa the return of the Yuletide.

Commissioner Winn said Thursday
that as he understood Captain Don

from the commissary were not con-
fined to vegetables raised on the
county farm.
These three commissioners also
are pretty well assured that a num-
Der of other county employees have
been in the habit of taking supplies
from the commissary. Commissioner
thurman said that there was absolute
ly no record of these acts.
Paymaster Put in Charge.
Because of alleged shpshod bust

provided for a paymaster to begin his
duties February l. The records OF
the county show that there has not
been the slightest check on the pay
rolls in the public works department
the only receipts given being from
Captain Donaldson for lump sums.
About a year ago purchasing

time, Captain Donaldson had brought

DELAY
ST|RS SOUTH
SIDE MEN

The injustice OF not appropriating
money for the further Improvement
of Whitehall street and the increase
of taxes thereon before the improve
ments are made is bitterly COM
planned of Thursday in a communica-
ton from the Whitehall and South
Forsyth Improvement committee.
Several large business blocks ar
ranged for can not be built until the
grade is adjusted by the city. This
delay may mean that these new bust
ness blocks will be lost to the city
through Councils failure to make the
adjustment of the grade says the re-
port. And then it asks If the project
has been abandoned.
Fair Amount Not Awarded.
The committee says Council has
not awarded even "a fair amount for
1914 work" on whitehall and For
syth streets. The complaint declares
that the city has:
Forced the adoption of perma-
nent grade for the streets before
property owners were allowed to APP
pear with complaints before the FL
| nance Committee of Council.
Notified property owners that they
must build to conform to the pro-
| spective' grade. which varies from a
| fivef foot cut to an eight-foot fill.
Results of Council lnaction.
, And permitted a tax increase on
| this property for 1914 based on the
prospective improvement of the
Streets
The complaint cites these results OF
Councils inaction:
Property can not be sold. 1t car
not be improved. Whitehall, the
main business thoroughfare of At
| lanta. is held back while other streets
are improved and going ahead. The
proposed improvement of some OF
these other streets is of more recent
origin than the Improvement Of
Whitehall"

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade Of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face When it fades,
turns gray, streaked and looks dry,
wispy and scraggly, just an applica-
ton or two of Sage and Sulphur en-
hances it's appearance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you
can get from any drug store a 50-cent
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" ready to use. This can
always be depended upon to bring back
the natural color thickness and lustre of
your hair and remove dandruff. stop
scalp itching and falling hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through the hair. taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy, lustrous and
abundant.-Advt.

ment inspector who was here several
months ago getting evidence against
Judge Speer.
When Mr.. Osborne concluded his
testimony, the counsel for Judge
Speer did not cross examine him. II
is understood that he has known the
lawyers for Judge Speer so long and
been on such intimate footing with
them that they feared the cross -ex.
animation might prove hurtful
Mr.. Osborne was followed to the
stand by f. J. Crowley, of Waycross.
a brother of w. F. Crowley, who was
defendant with McClelland in a
peonage case. Crowley substantiated
the statement of Messrs. Lawrence
and Osborne with reference to the
case. In giving testimony regardine
the partnership between Max Isaa IS
and A. H. Hayward in March, 1915,
Mr.. Crowley testified that on this oc-
casion he went to Judge Speer in the
interest of having referee in bank
ruptcy named for Waycross. He said
Judge Speer lamented the fact that
Judge Isaacs had resigned and com
mented that he expected to frequent
ly call upon him, and tha- he would
be of great assistance by virtue of his
superior knowledge Of the bankruptcy
laws.
George S. Murphey, of Augusta
was next called. In transaction
with Springs & Co, cotton future
house of New York, Mr.. Murphey lost
$4,000. which he stated he declined
to pay on the grounds that the money
was fraudulently obtained by the
mouse. The firm sued him in Judge
Speer's court. He stated that Judge
Speer called court to hear the case al
his home at Mount Airy, and wher
the counsel arrived there he gave
them to understand that unless they

he would adjourn the hearing to

announced that he would find a ver-
dict against the defendant, with costs
which made the litigation amount te
$3.50. The case was appealed to the
Circuit Court and Judge Speer re-
versed, but Mr.. Murphey stated thai

COUNTY POLITICAL
POT TO BOIL SOON

Two more names were added to
the list of County Commissioner can
didates Thursday when 1t was an
nounced that General A. J. West and
DR.. r. l.. Hope probably will be ac-
tive aspirants for Commissionerships.
The fight for the three vacancies on
the board promises to be full of
thrills.
DR. Hope is president of the Fulton
County Board of Education, and has
u9slJg IoJ JosIeul I9qmsu useq
years. General West is real estate
man.
There will be three vacancies when
the terms of Commissioners Smith,
Waters and Anderson expire this
spring, and it is understood there
will be lively scramble for the seats.
Commissioners Smith and Waters
will, it is reported, be candidates for
reelection Commissioner Anderson.
however, has announced that he will
retire.
Mr.. Anderson has served as mem
Der of the board for seventeen years,
and thinks he is entitled to a rest.
Several leading Atlantans have
been mentioned as possible candi-
dates in the approaching race, among
them Charles Turner and DR.. Will l..
Gilbert.
1t is reported that both will make
formal announcement of their can

Characterizing the as heirs-at-law
of the late J. B. Crawford as "a ra-

nouncing their act in exhuming the
capitalists body as the work of

half OF Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford as
the sole heir of her husband.
The lawyer reviewed the evidence
relating to the sanity of Crawford at
the time of his marriage before Au-
ditor j. l.. Anderson. who will de-
termine the rightful heir or heirs of
Crawford. He attacked the testimony
of DR.. II. F. Harris that poison was
found in the dead mans body. He
declared the evidence of the relatives
themselves showed that Crawford
was sane, and that none of them
would have dared intimate to him
that he was not curing his lifetime,

Bishop or McKinnon, and in his
speech referred to her as Mrs. Bish-
