LADIES! Slu.iET To
pARAFh GRAY HAIR
Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe ut home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is TO get the ready-to-use
preparation improved by the addition of
other ingredients. costing about 80 cents
a large bottle, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Compound"
thus avoiding a lot OF muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we
all desire 10 retain our youthful appear
ance and attractiveness BY darkening
your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because it
does II 80 naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen 4 sponge or soft brush with
1t and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; BY
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's sage and Sulphur
Compound is n delightful toilet requisite.
II Is not intended for the cure, mitigation
Or prevention Of diesase.

TOO MUCH COTTON.

We are led to believe that the far
mers of this county are preparing
to plant too much cotton. 1t is
said that in some quarters the gar
dens are being prepared for cotton.
We trust this is not true. The far
mers of Abbeville county are better
off than they have been in years,
largely owing to the fact that last
year they planted other crops than
cotton, and kept out of debt for fer
tilizers. The result is that they
have large amount of supplies with
which to make the present crop,
and are thus enabled to make it
without the expenditure of so much
money, and the consequent incurring
Of heavy debts.
Profting by their experience last
year it would seem that they should
be cautious about too much cotton.
A large crop and a small price this
fall will prove very hurtful to the
whole country.

A FABLE AND A MORAL.

The Lion was telling the Leopard
why he roared in the Jungle when
going about hunting. "Doing business
openly and with plenty of advertls-
ing" said the Lion, "is what has
made my reputation. got my char
acterization as King of the Beasts by
blowing my horn. Always let the
other fellows know you are around
and they will respect you and fear
YOU"
A Rabbit hiding and shivering in a
clump of pampas grass overheard
this conversation, and all the next
day he pondered upon it. He decided
it was better to have the other ami
mails fear him than to live himself in
constant terror. So the rabbit filled
his lungs with a great breath and
tried to roar like Lion.
A Kiote, learning of the Rabbits
whereabouts by his roar, hoped onto
the Rabbit and ate him up.

is no use to advertise.-Judge.

AMERICA MAY HAVE
WHITE PAPER MONEY

Atlanta, Ga, March 27.-Accord-
ing to local experts the famine in
dye-stuffs owing to the war in Eu-
rope, is soon going to become such
a serious matter in America that we
may have not only white hosiery,
white magazine covers, white carpets,
but even if it lasts long enough,
white postage stamps and white cur
rency.
Next to preparedness and the need
of merchant marine, it is said that
the dye problem is really the most
far-reachring that the American ma
ton confronts.
Of course America can make dyes,
but they are not the kind of dyes that
last. They fade and run and can't
stand either light or soap and water.
America has learned other craft
secrets since the war, for instance
the making of needles, but she hasn't
yet got the secret of making fast
dyes.

of hundreds of men, in all sections
Of the State, it is Mr. CooPer's patri-

Governor this summer. ill.,,
He was confronted with this dliem-

State urging him to run and friends,

the race.

THE RIGHT STEP.

The Judson Mill in Greenville has
purchased lands near the mill vii
lage, which is being divided into
lots, which lots will be sold to such
employees of the mill as wish to own
their own homes. The mill will
then loan, or advance, to these, en-
ployees enough money, not exceeding
one thousand dollars each, to build
a home, thus enabling these people
to have an interest in the. place
where they live, and giving them the
incentive to improve the premises
occupied by them as other home
owners do, and to feel more interest
in the community. in which they live.
It IS not stated in the news stories
whsthar, these lots: will be sold to
Others dim operatives but for several
reasons va hope, this will be done.
In, the. first place, there has been
an effort to make the people who
work in the mills feel that they are
in different class from other people
and that. what is good for and de-
sired by other people is most often
against them. This should not be
the case. 1t is caused largely in our
judgment by the fact that these peo-
pie have been forced to live in COM
munities to themselves, where they
have not come in contact with other
people. They have thus been set
apart from other people, and have
not had the benefit of the elbow
touch of their fellowman. They
should live as other working people
do, among people in other callings
and should associate with the people
Of the neighborhood in which they
live, just as other people do. They
should be a part of the community in
which they live.
In the next place these homes in
which the operatives will invest their
money will not be worth as much to
them as they would otherwise be if
others than mill operatives are, not
encouraged and induced to buy. So
that when an operative for any rea-
son wishes to leave that particular
community, his purchase will not net
him the returns from sale which
it would do if the public generally
were interested in buying this prop
erty. The acts of the mill will be
misunderstood unless the new settle
ment is open to anyone who wishes
to buy and make home in it.
Every man is a better man who
owns his own home. Every man
should own his home. He feels
more interest in his community, in
his neighbor, in the government and
in the state at large. The Judson
Mill has made a start which we hope
will be followed by other mills. And
the mills when they begin to offer a
chance to operatives with which to
build and own their own homes,
should be sure that no element of
speculation on their part enters into
the enterprise.
