LOYALTY AND PATRIOTISM OF
THE AMERICAN NEGROES.

l was at the Court House Tuesday
night at the mass meeting that was
held by the negroes in the city Of
Greenwood and County of Lefore, and
my heart and mind was filled with joy
to listen to the great speeches that
was made by both white and colored,
and as I did not get to say anything
at the meeting, l take this course to let
the world know that the American
negro is as loyal to our country IS
the negroes of Great Britain and
France, and we ire as ready to lay
down ourlives for the rights of coun-
try, for the rights Of citizens as any
other race or people. The negro has
always proven to be valuable asset,
not as a master, but as a servant, and
he stands today ready to answer his
country's call not as a master, but as
a servant, and all we ask for in the
name of God and under the sun Of
Heaven is Justice, and the last drop Of
blood will go coursing through our
veins for our country, and our Flag.

HOW TO BE RID
OF DISGUSTING
DANDRUFF

The only way to get rid OF disgust
ing, untidy dandruff is to correct its
cause. Shampooing merely cIeanses
the scalp for a few days, then the
scales form again as thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of the dandrun for good. part
the hair and apply a little OF the
genuine Partisan Sage directly on the
bare scalp and rub it in with the
finger tips until absorbed. You will
surely be amazed at the result Of
even. one application. for your hair
and scalp will look and feel 100 per
cent. better.
only a few days massage with
Partisan sage should be needed to de
stroy the germs that cause the dand-
run to form. The scalp becomes
healthy. the hair will grow better
and show more life and vitality and
you should no longer be troubled by
dandrun. Faded, dull or lifeless hair
is quickly restored to beauty by this
simple process. which Is absolutely
harmless and will not stain the hair
or make II greasy.
Partisan Sage can be obtained from
