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 1t 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 a 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
" and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy, lustrous and
abundant.-Advt.

Judge Isaacs had resigned and COM

with Springs g. Co, a cotton future
house of New York, Mr.. Murphey lost
$4,000. which he stated he declined

Speer's court. He stated that Judge

his home at Mount Airy, and when
the counsel arrived there he gave
them to understand that unless they
could be ready the following morning
he would adjourn the hearing to
Highlands. n. c., as he was tired of
Mount Airy and wanted to change.
Mr.. Murphey testified that the next

one witness on the stand when Judge
Speer drew himself up haughtily and
announced that he would find a YER

which made the litigation amount to

the only receipts given being from
Captain Donaldson for lump sums.
About a year ago purchasing

time Captain Donaldson had brought
the supplies, and the records show
that the great bulk of the business

The principal objection to Captain

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;

nent grade for the streets before

100000 WORDS
IN CRAVE ORD
CASE REPORT

CharacteriZing the As heirs-at Law
of the late ], B. Crawford as "a ra-
pacious horde of relatives resembling
Coxey's vagabond army" and de-
nouncing their act in exhuming the
capitalists body as the work of
ghouls, Attorney Reuben r. Arnold
Thursday continued his speech in be-
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-
termlne the rightful heir or heirs of
Crawford. He attacked the testimony
of DIR. H. 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 during his lifetime
Albert Kemper for the complain
ants, declared that Mrs. Crawford had
never been divorced from either
Bishop or McKinnon. and in his
speech referred to her as Mrs Bish-
op."
The arguments were continued in
the afternoon and probably will be
concluded before night. After Mr.
Kemper. Colorel Burton Smith and
Colonel Brewster will speak for Mrs
Crawford, and then Colonel j. S
James closes for the plaintiffs. The
auditor will have a month to render
his decision.
The testimony in the famous case
overtops that in the Frank case by
$4,000 words and the stenographer's
bill, which was presented Wednes-
day, amounts to $4,000. The written
Crawford report contains 100000
words, while the Frank report con-
tanned 100000 words.

COUNTY POLITICAL
POT TO BOIL SOON

Two more names were added to
the list OF County Commissioner can
didates Thursday when it was an
nounced that General A. ]. West and
DIR. R. l.. Hope probably will be ac-
tive aspirants for Commissionerships.
The fight for the three vacancies Oh
the board promises to be full of
thrills.
DIR. Hope is president of the Fulton
County Board of Education. and has

wears. General West is a 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 a 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 a 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
didacy before the week Is over.
Rumor has it that the recent de-
motion of Captain Donaldson as head
of the public works department will
cut a figure in the campaigns of the
old members of the board seeking re-
election.
