WAITING WINS
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
There Stood Old Christian.

FEocally the election passed off quiet
/ ly. The weather was fine and both
sides worked hard to get out their
votes. There seemed to be no inn
proper use of money and the vote was
free expression of the will Of the
5000 votes who exercised the right of
suffrage. There was little scratching
and less than so scattering votes in
the county. OF these the Prohibition
ticket got % so far as reported.
Judge Bush ran about 125 votes
ahead of the electoral ticket. Kinche-
loe ran a few>votes ahead also. Demo
Gratis are jubilant over the result in
this county. Last year Morrow's ma
iority over Stanley was 2038. This
year none OF the Republican MAORI
ties reach 1000. Judge Bush made a
clear reduction of 1911 from the Nor
row majority. Democrats are great
" encouraged for the county election
next year. A change Of 500 votes is
all that is necessary to win and sever
al hundred Republicans usually vote
with the Democrats in strictly local
contests.

LATEST

All day yesterday crowds hung
about the Postal Telegraph Office,
where bulletins were caught from
time to time. The news grew better
all day. Democratic headquarters
claimed 265 votes sure with several
western states in doubt. These
came in for Wilson and when Cali
fornia was reported safe for Wilson a
bulletin came claiming 288 votes safe
Wilson's election is now claimed con-
fidently. Every report grows better
New York, Nov. S.-Vance G. Nc
Cormick, chairman of the democratic
national committee at midnight said:
"Our reports received up to mid
night showed that the president had
received certainly go electoral votes
not including Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut or California and other far
western states yet to be heard from. 3"
Up to half past twelve Mr.. McCor-
mick had declined TO give out list of
the states upon which he claimed 27O
electoral votes for President Wilson.
Just before midnight the election
returns still incomplete in many
states indicated the election of Hughes
and Fairbanks, but the figures were
very close and the democratic mana
gers steadfastly refused to concede
republican victory.
Although the metropolitan news
papers which have supported Presi-
dent Wilson conceded his defeat, the
democratic managers insisted that
complete returns from the west
would reverse the trend which steadi-
ly seemed to be piling up the Hughes
column.
WILCOX CLAIMS 254 VOTES.
just after II o'clock, republican
headquarters absolutely claimed Con-
necticut. Delaware, Illinois, Indiana,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,

COMB SAGE TEA
into GRAY HAIR
Ladies'! Try This! Darkens Beautifully
and Nobody Can Tell-Brings Back
Its Gloss and YOuthfuIness.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is troub-
lesome. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients, cost
ing about so cents large bottle, at
drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" thus avoid
ing a lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because It does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morn
ing 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 a delightful toll
Ell requisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.

SWAT THE ROOSTER
DAY MAY 18TH

County Agricultural Agent ]. G. Oil
yer submits the following, which is
self-explanatory:
May 10, has been named as Swat
the Rooster Day" for Georgia by the
State College of Agriculture, and am
anxious that we shall observe it in this
county.
This is one of the very best moves
ever made in Georgia for better eggs
in the summer time, less cussing by the
buyers and consumers of eggs, and
more money for the farmer or the far
mer's wife.
Everybody is afraid to eat eggs in
the summer for fear Of eating prema-
ture chicks, or rotten eggs. This re-
suits in low prices for eggs, because
of shy demand.
On that day let's kill; sell, or con-
fine every rooster in the county. If
we do this by the first week in June
all eggs produced will be infertile and
general rejoicing will be heard from
the producers, merchants and consum-
ers.
l wan to ask that every person who
reads this article will ask that his
neighbor cooperate in the move to get
rid of the roosters. The merchants
can cooperate very effectively in this
move by offering a better price for
the roosters during the next week.
In connection with this fight on the
rooster and for better eggs, l have a
number of posters sent me by the col
leee, propose to place all over the
county.
Let's pull together on this move. BE
Booster; Swat the Rooster"

WIVES and MOTHERS

Have you ever stopped to realize
how much the health of your family
depends upon you? For instance, diet
is a great factor in health, and you
are responsible for it, then again when
any member of your family gets into
rundown condition, when the children
are delicate, cross and ailing, when
somebody takes cold and develops a
cough, they look to you for help. Do
you know that our local druggists,
Hooks Pharmacy have a non-secret
constitutional remedy known as Vinol
which they guarantee for just such
conditions. Many families in this vi
cinity have found it so reliable they
are never without it.

COMPLIES NAMES Of
HOG RA|sERs PLAN

ATLANTA, Ca, May 1.-THE South
ern Bell Telephone company has in
augurated a plan for compiling the
names of hog raisers that promises to
result in a great boon for the farmers
of Georgia and adjoining states The
purpose of the movement is to bring
the farmer in touch with the packing
house, and thereby secure for the far
mer the ready sale and the best avail
able prices for their porkers. The
names of farmers who have hogs to
sell are listed, together with the
addresses of these farmers, the num-
her of hogs available at present, their
weight and the approximate number of
hogs that will be available for the en-
tire year.
Through the use of the telephone To-
cal managers at different points have
gotten in touch with number of the
farmers of the country and secured the
desired information, though there are
scores of others who raise hogs and
who probably have some for sale at
present with whom the telephone man
ayers have been unable to commune
cate personally. The plan was origi-
mated for the benefit of the farmers, re-
gardless of whether or not they had a
telephone.
The lists compiled in each commun-
ity will be placed in the hands of the
nearest packing company, the pri-
mary object being that of enabling the
packers to secure shipment of hogs in
car load lots, making possible better
price paid to the raiser because of the
ninimized freight charge. The infor-
nation furnished the packers will
make it easy for them to determine
when car load shipment is available
IN any community.

MUST RESIDE IN COUNTY
WHERE WHISKEY Ie SHIPPED

Another feature has developed in the
new prohibition lay that is proving a
wise provision in the law, and that is
a person must reside in the county in
which the shipment is to be delivered.
This is a very wise provision in the
law as it prevents parties living in
ore county evading the law by getting
shipments in other counties, thus Sc
curing more than the law allows.
The trainers of the prohibition law
were certainly wise in more ways than
one, as the boozerite is finding out.
