FARMINGTON

The farmers of this vicinity are dis
couraged with the result of this season, s
efforts so far. They claim that those
VINO are shipping peaches and canta-
loupes are not receiving cash returns
which will pay for the production the
packing and the transportation charges
for either of these fruits. The drv wea-
ther has greatly injured late planted
corn, as well as killed off much of the
scarlet clover sOwn. It is not too late to
re-seed the latter crop, but the farmers
certainly feel discouraged. The cause for
this condition of affairs is found in the
conditions existing in the cities where
the people are out of work or are on half
time, and therefore they have not got
the money to buy the produce at fair
prices.
The buildings on the farm in tenure of
Mrs. G. Mansur, owned by Ralph VIII

Fire, of unknown origin, destroyed
the large barns and other outbuildings
on the farm of George Hastings on Sun

saved his live stock before the fire had
consumed that part of the stables.

Says ed-Haired Men
Make Best Husbands

Chicago, July 15.-The office of
the court of domestic relations cites
records to prove that red-haired
men make the best husbands. In
this court the average number of
husband arraigned monthly totals
four hundred. Of these $50 are
black-haired, largely foreigners; 100
are blends, chiefly musicians and
other temperamental person; 40 are
gray-haired, and one with red hair
is found in the list.
Testimony taken at these trials
shows that the red-haired husband
rarely breaks disher or furniture;
that he stays at home at night and
gives his wife more spending money
than the average. If the red-haired
husband has a tantrum he flares up
nightly for a moment, but immed-
lately cOOls off, and the row never
reaches the court.

CAN'T TOUCH LIQUOR
WITHOUT SPECIAL LAW

Macon, July 15-If the city of
Macon wants to destroy the sever
al hundred gallons of whiskey
stored in the cells at the police
barracks for safe keeping, it will
be necessary to have the legislature
pass an act comforting that au-
thority on the municipality. Such
was the decision of City Attorney
Walter before, expressed IN a
written communication to council
last night.
Last week Chairman Hazlehurst
of the police committee of coun-
Gil, called councils attention to the
whisky and wanted to know if it
was the wish of council that the
CITY 60 on storing the whiskey in
definitely. The question arose as
to the right of the city to destroy
the whisky and the matter was
finally referred to the city attorn-
ey for an opinion.
In his communication last night
Attorney before said that the
whisky cannot be destroyed and
the city not be responsible if the
owner should later turn up and
claim it, unless the city could show
that the owner intended to use the
whiskeY for illegal purposes. He
declared it would take statuatory
authority from the Legislature to
authorize the destruction of the
liquor and at the present time the
city has no such statute.

Howell Not a Candidate

Atlanta, Ca, July 10 Hon.
Clark Howell, editor of The At
lanta Constitution, stated today
that he is not a candidate for office
either clark horse" or otherwise,
and said that the story that he
would be a compromise candidate
for governor in case of a Macon
convention deadlock was unwar-
ranted.
Mr.. Howell spoke also of the
recent state executive committee
meeting in Atlanta, when reports
went out that he and his brother
Albert Howell, were influential
in ''steam rolling" the meeting and
shutting off debate. He stated
that neither he nor Albert Howell
led the fight nor did either make
the motion or say a word on the
subject.

that it be taken up as soon as
100 copies have been printed for

When the senate convened
Wednesday a resolution of the
educational committee of which
Senator Smith of the Ninth is
vice chairman, recommending
that the McCrory school book bill
be considered by the senate as a
whole as special order on a date
to be fixed by the rules commit
tee, was adopted. This bill pas
sed the house several days ago.
One hundred copies of it will be
printed for the use of the senate.
A fight was precipitated when
the bill of Senators Anderson of
the First and HUE of the Thirty
fifth, introduced last year, pro-
viding for the increase of the
senatorial districts from Al to 60,
came up for passage.
MOVES TO POSTPONE.
Senator HUE moved that it be
postponed for a week to let the
bill, which is a constitutional
amendment, be better considered.
He also read a substitute bill pro-
viding that there shall not be
more than three counties to a
district when the state is redi-
vided into 60 new districts.
Senator Tarver of the Forty
third, opposing the bill and SUBJ
stltute, moved that consideration
of either of them be indefinitely
postponed. If this motion car
ried, the bill and substitute would
be killed.
Senator HUE pointed out that
Georgia, when the present con-
stitution was drawn up, had rs
representatives and A senators;
today, he says, there are more
than $50 representatives and
still Al senators. For years, he
said. the necessity of increasing
the number of senators has been
pressing.
Senator Mcneil, of the Twenty
second, asked that the senate
show the usual courtesy to an
author of a bill by postponing it
at his request.
By vote of Fl to 16 the motion
to indefinitely postpone was lost;
by viva voce vote, the motion to
postpone for a week was carried.

KINDERGARTEN MEASURE
is PASSED BY SENATE
Bill Provides Each County May Vote ON
Putting 1t Into Effect.

Atlanta, July 16.-The kinder
garten bill, introduced last year
by Senator w. D. McNeill of the
Twenty-second district, an d
amended by Senator B. S. Miller
of the Twenty fourth, passed the
senate Wednesday by a vote of
28 to8, after a heated debate of
two hours. which consumed the
major portion of Wednesday ses-
sion.
" Senator Miller's amendment
carried a local option provision,
which permits each county to
\ vote on the question of whether
Ahe kindergarten feature shall
be added to it's public school sys-
tenn.
With this local option provision
the bill adds a kindergarten feat
ure to the states public school
system, which is to derive it's
support from the school fund, as
at present apportioned. This
apportionment is based on the
number of school children in a
county between the ages of six
and eighteen years.
Pupils under four years of age
will not be admitted to the kim
dergartens.
President J. Randolph Ander-
son took the floor in support of
the measure and others who led
in the debate for it were Senators
Mcneil, Miller, Allen, Elkins and
Converse. Those who led the
opposition were Senators Tarver
and Stark. Senator Ollif at first
opposed the bill, but withdrew
mis- opposition when he learned
the apportionment for the schools
would remain on the same basis
as present.
CLUB WOMEN PLEASED.
Many prominent women were
present when the vote was taken.
The women's clubs of the state
have worked hard and earnestly
for the passage of this bill and
the ladies were very happy that
it had passed the senate. 1t will
now 60 to the house.
The McCrory school book bill,
which recently passed the house,
will probably be taken up by the

LADIES'! SECRET To

Bring back color, gloss and thickness

Common garden sage brewed into a

ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way is
to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing
about SO cents a large bottle, at DRUG
stores, known as 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.
