Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM

color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to- make it at home, which is mussy

gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and

A quiet but very impressive we'd
ding was solemnized on Sunday, Feb
ruary 16, at the home Mrs. Ida Ban
mister, south of the city, when she
became the bride of Mr.. E. G. FAINT,
Sr. Before the ceremony, Mrs. E. K.
Garrison, the accomplished daughter
of the bride, very sweetly played and
sang "Just You," and when the last
strains of the wedding march ceased
the bride and groom entered the par
lor where Rev. q. I. Henderson pro-
nounced them man and wife. The
bride was lovely in gown of mid
night blue satin messaline with &C
cessories to match.
The groom is one of Anderson's S
prominent merchants and is we'll
known by people throughout the
county who will wish for him long
and happy married life. Among the
out of town guests for the wedding
was Mrs. E. K. Garrison, of Bam-
berg, who is we'll known here as Miss
Celia Bannister before her marriage.

JANITOR MAKES BIG HAUL.
Broke Into County Vault at Column
bia and Stole $4,000.

Columbia, S. c., Feb. 24.-Odell
Thompson, the negro janitor at the
Richland county court house, con-
fessed, late this afternoon, to rob-
bing the vault in the office of the
county treasurer here yesterday,
when $4,000 was stolen.
Thompson has been janitor at the
court house about twenty-five years.
He says he was assisted by another
negro, Henry Dark, who is also un-
der arrest.
The authorities Immediately recov-
cred more than s12,5OO. Of this
amount s1O,4S5 we're found in pack
ages and under the steps of the
court house. More than $4,000 were
found in the basement of the home
of J. Frost Walker, clerk of court of
Richland county, where Thompson
had placed it, Thompson also being
the janitor at Mr.. Walkers home.
Dark has thus far not divulged
where he put his part of the money.
The manner in which the robbery
was executed showed that the rob-
ers were we'll acquainted with the
arrangement of the packages of
money and interior structure of the
vault. The opening was driven
through the wall at place so as to
miss entirely any obstruction on the
inside. Also the robbers brought to
the Office in the equipment fish pole
with loop on the end, with which to
drag out the packages of bills which
were piled in the vault. The bills
were made up in $500 packages and
there were between 80 and 40 of
these packages,

BODY OF INFANT FOUND.
Coroner Requires Father to Give
Child Proper Burial.

Columbia, Feb. 23.-Coroner
Scott has just completed an investl-
cation of a case where the body of
one day old white infant was dis
covered by a man while raking straw
on farm about three miles from the
city on the Two Notch road. The
officer picked up thread by thread
and located the father and mother.
The father was required to come to
Columbia from a neighboring coun-
ty and give the remains the proper
burial. 1t developed during the in
vestigation that a Columbia physi-
clan overlooked giving a death GER
tifcate after the child had passed
away at local hospital.
The coroner said he was notified
that the body of an infant was dis
covered near Heise's place on the
Two Notch road, and he and Rural
Policeman Marsh went to the scene.
The man who discovered the body
removed the box from the ground
and an examination was made. The
baby rested on two copies of The
State dated January 3, and was COW
cred by a copy of the Saluda, Is. g.
Standard. On the Saluda paper was
the name of a woman and the paper
was addressed to a Columbia hospi-
tai. Another name was written
with a pencil.
The coroner visited the hospital
and traced the father who removed
the body from the place after death.
He ascertained that the child was
born at. the hospital and died short
ly afterwards. The official obtained
the fathers address and notified him
to come to Columbia at once and give
the remains proper burial. He came
yesterday and the little body was
Inferred in Elmwood cemetery.
Coroner Scott then searched the
records in an effort TO locate the re-
port from the attending physician,
but none could be found. The State
health department was notified and
further developments are expected.
The coroner said the birth and death
of the child were perfectly legitimate,
but that the burial and failure. of
the physician to issue the death GER
tificate was contrary to the correct
method of procedure. All parties
connected with the affair are we'll
known in their respective communi-
ties.

The war taught us many lessons.
One of them was that of the necessl-
ty of people working. During the
emergency vagrancy was not allow
ed This was valuable lesson, and
onght to stick forever. There is
p1entv of work in Bamberg county
and vet many of the colored soldiers
who have been discharged are out OF
employment. There is no occasion
for this, and we strongly suggest to
the colored leaders to see to it them
selves that it does not continue to ex-
list. If there were not employment
for everybody, the matter would be
different. Idleness is the devil
workshop, and no one can long in
dulge in without getting into trou-
ble We have as much respect for
the colored soldier as anybody and
we want to keep that respect. The
colored people responded in splen7
did maner to the call of their coun-
try. Now that they have come out
of the war with honor, we hope that
they will strive to keep it. But honor
is not helped by vagrancy, as vagran-
cy was never known to produce any
thing but evil results.

BABIES REDUCE INCOME TAX.
Uncle Sam Lays Plans to Increase
Population "Higher Up"

Washington, Feb. 22.-Babies
born in 1918 will bring varying in
come tax exemptions to their pa
depending on the month of their
birth. A child born in January,
1918, gives 5000 exemption, in addi-
tion to the $4,000 allowed married
persons, but if a child was born in
July, the parent is entitled to ex-
emption Of only 500 on the infants
account. If the child was born in
October, the tax paying parent is al
lowed only $50 exemption, or one
fourth of the 5000 normal exen1p-
ton.
This new policy established for in
come taxes is explained by the in
