.POTTLE'S Offer
WAS SURPRISE
HARRIS SUPPORTERS NOT LOOK.
ING FOR MILLEDGEVlLLE MAN
IN ONTEST-HkRRIS LAST OF
VETERANS.

Atlanta, May 23-The announce
ment of Joseph E. Pottle, of Milledge-
vile, for governor was quite sur
prise to the friends of Governor Nat
E. Harris on account of the fact that
Mr. Pottle and Governor Harris are
warm personal friends.
1t is generally known that Mr.. Pot
ties friendship for the governor was
the influence that kept him out of
the race for several weeks, and the
governors friends are at a loss to
understand how Mr.. Pottle saw his
way clear to oppose Governor Harris
in view of this fact
Another element of surprise to the
governors friends in the Pottle an
nOuncement is the fact that Mr. Pot
tie is an avowed prohibitionist and
his convictions on this subject are
believed also to have been a deterrant
Influence in his consideration of the
gubernatorial race.
Still another surprise to the gov
erno's friends is the fact that Mr.. Pot
tie is the son of a Confederate vet
teran and a member of the Sons of
United Confederate Veterans, while
Governor Harris is a veteran of the
Civil War and the last one, in all
probability who will ever sit in the
governors chair.
In view of Mr. Politics. friendship
for Governor Harris, in view of the
fact that he is prohibitiOnist and
Governor Harris is the recognized can
didate for the prohibition forces in
the state, in view of Mr.. Politics. men,
bership in the Sons of United Confed-
crate Veterans, it was not considered
likely by the governors friends that
Mr.. Pottle would put aside these in
order to yield to his gubernatorial as
pirations.
1t is not likely that any further at
tempt will be made to circulate re-
ports that Governor Harris will not
stay in the race for reelection. He
made his intentions very plain, in this
regard, when his old comrades of the
Confederacy tried to elect him COM
mander of the Department of Tennes-
see, during the recent reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans in Bir-
mingham. Governor Harris told the
veterans he was running for reelec-
ton in Georgia, that he expected to
be reelected, and therefore his time
would be occupied for another two
years which made. it impossible for 1
him to take on the additional duties
of the position to which they sought
to elect him.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell if you use
Grandmother simple recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lus-
tire to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 'FWyeth s Sage and
Sulphur Compound, you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe
for about 80 cents.
Don t stay gray! Try it! No one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy
