To Hold Inquest on
Tango in Paris; Is
Regarded as Dead

Paris, France, Feb. IA discussion,
rather an inquest, on the tango is to
be held by the members of the academy
of the masters of dancing. or art of
elegance, and Of graceful movement at
their meeting in a few weeks.
What with the veto Of the French
bishops and the stories Of Vatican in
reference with the dance, the unfor-
tunate creature looks very like SUI
fering death by strangulatiOn.
The matter touches the dancing mas
tiers in the most vulnerable part, the
pocket, owing to the Introduction of
the archbishop of Paris. They claim
the whole campaign against the dance
in respectable Partisan circles is really
a very tame affair.
England and the leading cOntinen-
tai countries will meet for the serst
time in an international congress on
a purely social question and a definite
code of tango dancing will be drawn
up.
Two new dances, the "ta-tao" Cthe
brides dance) and the fakUen are on
the eve of knocking out the tango
anyhow. These are two Chinese dances
which may be called recent innovations
in the dancing Of Eastern origin, as
they only go back as far as the year

THERE is HAIR BEAUTY and LUXUR-
lance IN EVERY BOTTLE OF HERPlCIDE

Did you ever have a dealer offer YOU
a large bottle Of something and tell YOU
it was a better remedy for the hair
than NewbrO's Herpicide and cheaper
because in larger bothL?
What? Certainly we knew you had.
Many other people have, too.
What would you say to that same
dealer were he to tell you a silver dol
lar was worth more than a five-doIIar
gold piece because it is larger
Such an attempt being a reflection
upon your good sense you would prob
ably say some rather pointed things to
him. You would be justified. Your
self-respect would demand it.
Well, there are just as many good
reasons for the difference in size he
tween those bottles as there are for fte
difference in size between the silver
dollar and the five dollar gold piece.
The truth is that the large bottle
isn't half large enough.
There is more virtue in a half mint
of NewbrO's Herpicide than in q, Gallon
Of some Of the sO-called hair prepara,-
tons.
There is a dollars worth Of results
in the bottle of Herpicide but do Won
know what is in the other?
No? Then why buy It? Your iudr-
ment, Intelligence and the experience

You know when you go into that
store that Herpicide is what you need
and want.
You Know that Herpicide is athe
original remedy that kills the dandruff

You KNOW that Herpicide eradioates
You KNOW that Herpicide stops fall
ing hair.
You KNOW that Herpicide makes the
hair light fluffy and beautiful
You know these things in the same
way you know that the five dollar gold
piece, notwithstanding its size, is more
valuable than the silver dollar.
Then insist on having genuine Her

Dear Sir-Many times I have received

me OF the fact that on the 18th day Of the
fifth month Of the present year when the
Chinese people residing in the city Of Tor
reOu, Mexico, were in great difficulty and
danger, by your most humane action, risk
ing your own life, you had succeeded in
saving the lives OF over 20 Of our Chinese
people. You had. furthermore, risked your
life by going in person to see the leader Of
the revolutiOnists, requesting him to cease
numbering any more people. Immediately
thereafter, you had used your own money
in providing foods and medical services to
these Chinese people that were yet alive.
You certainly rendered them most humane
and heroic services. What you did for them
shall never be forgotten.

government and people write this to con-

strong chance that he will move to
Waynesville to make his home.
While he has not yet made a def

he will leave Jackson county.
Mr.. Moore is one Of the leading
attorneys Of the neighboring coun-
ty and has a large number Of friends
in Haywood, where he is well and
favorably known. He has in the
past taken an active part in the
political life of the Tenth district,
and has been a candidate for con-
gress from this district.
Mr.. Moore was prominently nell
toned as likely nominee for the
place of United States District At

succeed A. E. Holton. Mr.. w. c.

commended by Senator Overman
but his appointment is being helc

filed with the Department of Justice

HELP -Sl,;l' F.nE;S.

The fire waste in this country has
become alarming in its proportions.
Among the efforts being put forth
for a conservation Of our resources,
no one is more worthy of your as
sistance then the one to stop or de-
crease our annual fires. In no direct
ion is the necessity greater or the
prospects of success more hopeful.
The annual fire lossin this coun-
try is about $250,000,000, O. $500
each minute. In our own State it is
estimated that the loss by fire is
81 10000 or over $4,000 each day.
Students of this subject tell us that
the bulk of these fires are the result
OF ignorance, carelessness. or Grimm
atty, and that with ordinary care
two-thirds should }e prevented.
In order to stop this annual loss
that is disgrace to our Nation and
State. it is necessary to educate our
people and awaken an interest along
this line.

Southern railway. Jesse is hon
est, sober and industrious, which
good traits are recognized by
the railway authorities.
Leaving Blackville, [ next
went to Savannah. Ca, then to
Waycross, a city with a popula-
of 10000. Here I found two
other Pickens boys, Mr.. Leland
Boggs, holding the position Of
city electrician, and his brother
Paul, engaged in a drug store.
Next stop was Valdosta, which
is the home Of u. >. senator
West, whom [ met and had the
pleasure of being in his beauti-
full home.
Continuing my trip, [ went to
Quitman, county site Of Brooks,
said to be the best farming
county in Georgia. Albany is a
city of about 10000 people, said
to have the largest pecan indus

of Bradstreet's office here. Mr..
Roper is a young man who is
sober, honest and industrious.
He has charge Of thirty counties
