Most soaps and prepared shampoOs
contain too much alkali. which is very
Injurious. as IT dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain

and entirely greaseless. les very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all TO pieces. You can get this
at any drug store, and a few ounces
will las the whole family for months.
Simply mOisten the hair with water
and rub Il in. about a teaSpoonful is
all that is required. It makes an

NOT IDENTIFIED
COrcner'S Jury Says Famous
Prisoner Was Hung by
"PerSonS Unknown.

thfs city on The morning OF Aug. II,
rendered q verdict that the famous
prisoner came to his death by hang
ing AZ the hands OF parties unknown.
Testimony was given at the inquest
indicating that city and county OFF,
ciais had endeavored diligently TO as
certain the facts Of the lynching and
the identity Of any or all Of the party
the participated in the hanging, but
thus far their efforts have proved fu-
tile.
Mayor T. P. Dobbs. Deputy Sheriff
Hicks and City Marshal LoOney stated
at the inquest that they were working
hard on the case. but at present could
present nothing tending 10 unravel the
mystery.
The nearest disclosure as to what
happened in the oak grove near Frey's
gin mill, was the testimony OF J. A.
Benson. a merchant OF Marietta, who
drove by the place soon after the
lynching party had parked its auto
mobiles BY the roadside and had led
Frank 20 the tree where death await
ed him. While Benson testified that
he had a pretty good suspicion as to
what was going on. nc did not recOg-
nlze anybody IN the party and owing
20 the careless handling OF guns
deemed IL the better part of valor to
proceed on his way"
W. j. Frey. who lives nearest the
scene OF the lynching. testified that
ne saw three automobiles pass his
place at high speed shortly after sun
rise and that in the rear machines sat
a man nare-headed, clad in a white
shirt. whom he thinks was Frank. He
did not recognize anybody else in the
party as they wore goggles and were
moving swiftly. He later went to Ma
rietta and upon hearing that Frank
had been taken from the Milledge-
Vile prison and was brought north
ward toward Marietta n that three
automobiles had turned into a side
road at the gin house, fastened back
and found the corpse Of Frank swing
ing to a limb Of an oak tree. Frey
was the first TO discover the body.
Frey was formerly sheriff Of Cobb
