MEXICAN COMMISSION
WANTS TO FINISH WORK

Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. 11.-Mexi-
can-American joint commissioners re
sumed their efforts here today to
effect a settlement of the differences
between Mexico and the United States
after a recess of a week.
1t was indicated that the American
members were determined to force the
conference to an early conclusion.
The Mexican members appear no
less inpatient for an adjustment, but
the realization by both sides that vii
las activities in northern Mexico had
been widely extended since their ad-
journment last week, made it appar-
ent that an agreement involving an
early withdrawal Of General Pershings
troops was impossible.

We all have too much prejudice,

and pray only for "Me and my wife,
my son, John, his wife, us four and
no more" men who are not patriotic
or public spirited. Let's lay aside all
of this spirit and pull together. Lis

went all the way to Alabama to buy
his seed peanuts and gave more for
them than we would have charged him
and we would haye made a profit. See
the point?
Do not be jealous or envious but
trade at home, buy pure breed sseed

An OLD RECIPE
TO DARkED HAIR
SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR TURNS
GRAY, FADED HAIR DARK AND
GLOSSY.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustl e to the hair when faded streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home. which is mussy and trouble
some.
Now; days we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
pbur col 1Dound." You will get a large
bottle of this old recipe improved by
the addit ion of other III gradients for
about so cents. Everybody uses this
2reparation now, becaus no one can
possibly tel that you darkened your
hair. as it does it so naturally and
evenly You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
4 time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after a1other applica-
ton or two, your hair becomes beau
tifully dark, thick and glossy and you
look years younger. VVyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.

Mr.. Editor
Our Georgia State Fair would have
been a grand success had it not been
for its leaders and managers licens-
ing and allowing every form Of gamb-
ling devices and games of chance,
All such was a disgrace to Bibb coun-
ty and the city of Macon, to allow
such demoralizing scenes as the mid
way. We say demoralizing for any
one to saunter down the above street
and see young girls, boys and women,
as well as men, taking chances and
gam bling on all kinds Of gambling de-
vices, and seeing the tough characters
and fakirs reaping in the scheckles
from innocent men, women, boys and
girls, wanting and expecting some
thing for nothing But this is not
what we have started out to say:
1t was enough to bring blush of
shame TO every Crisp county farmer
and C0rdeleans face to see such
grand displays of agricultural produce,
fine stock and poultry from our sister
counties. And they make such a fine
show advertising their counties to the
world.
We are proud to see our section,
Houston, Dooly, Turner and Worth
and others with their counties repre-
scented and making such fine show
ing and carrying off first prizes and
blue ribbons.
Cordele claims to be the hub of this
section and yet we are asleep letting
other less favored sections carry off all
the plumbs, and advertising them
selves to the world. What is the mat
ter with Cordele and Crisp county?
Let us wake up and all resolve that
Cordele and Crisp county shall come
TO the front, and let the world know
how that we are on the map and that
we live in Gods favorite section
Let us so to work now, today and
lay aside ali prejudices and envy and
pull together Our visit to the fair
made lis resolve that the Farmers
Exchange shall have pure breed seed
display OF its own, at the 1917 state
fair, and we would like to have the
cooperation and help of all. Mr..
Crisp county farmer will you help us?
Or shall we pull alone?
We will end cur full support to help
out with a county fair next fall. and
will do our best to encourage others
to plant good seed, grow fine crops,

ANTEBELLUM INSTITUTION

Dallas Texas, Nov. 12.-The insti-
tuition of slavery caused the ciyiliza-
ton of the old south the historian gen

Confederacy in an address before the
convention today.
at was, undoubtedly, the institu-
ton Of slavery as it existed in the
SOUTH" declared Miss Rutherford, "a
difference in the slave holders them
selves from other shareholders that
caused the civilization Of the old south
These were men Of the old Cavalier
stock and the fear of God gave them
minds attuned to justice, hearts
trained to love and pocketbooks open
TO the needs of humanity.
"The black man should thank God
for the institution of slavery as il
existed in the s0uth-the easiest road
that any slave people ever passed
from savagery to civilization under
the kindest and most humane masters
"This civilization was destroyed not
so much by the Thirteenth amendment
freeing the slaves as by the policy OF
reconstruction in the south, and that
exodus order given by Thaddeus
Stevens through the freedman's bu'
.eau, followed by the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments for which the
negroes wete not prepared.
"Had there been no interference by
the north there would have been no
race problem today"
Miss Ruthrford said it must be adj
mitted that civilization of today was
along broader lines but that it's fear
full activity, its rush and grind of work
was wearing out the human frame.

Billy McCurdy arrived in town yesterday from the American riv- CT where he has been employed in freighting and prospecting for Walsh together with seven others, the majority of whom have been employed all winter. McCurdy says that something like 18o tons of supplies and ma terial for use during the summer on the dredge and on other min ing operations in which Walsh is interested was freighted from the landing at the mouth of Agiapuk and, in addition, some sixty or seventy holes were sunk on ground near the dredge.
