Dr. j. H. Phillips, superintendent or the public schools, yesterday submitted the following statement regarding his attitude toward the recent controversy over music in the public scnools:
 To the Editor of The Age eHerald:
 In a three-column, article in -Iues- days issue of your paper, MT. lra' r. Randall and his friends have endeav- ored to explain thelr charges against the conduct of the music department or the public schools.
 Mir. Randall explicitly denies having made at the hearing before the clty commission the statements attributed to him in both the afternoon papers Of Wednesday, the 22d instant-thus lay ing the burden of proof on the report CTS of those papers. The commission very properly referred the protest to the board of education, before which body both sides to the controversy should have an impartial hearing wish to state here that no committee has ever appeared before the board of education to voice any protest. Some months ago Miss Daisy Rowley placed in the hands of Commissioner Hornady a number of documents protesting against the use of the progressive sys- tenn in the high schools. Commissioner Hornady placed the documents in ques- ticn before the board of education. and after an extended discussion of the subject, the matter was referre1 to a special committee, of which Mrs. D. A. Echols was chairman. This committee, after considerable investigation, made its report at the next meeting of the

State Commission Cannot Order Receiver to Appear
 for Hearing

Montgomery, January 29.--(Speciai) That the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company freed itself from a difficult position when 1t went into the hands of a receiver is the opinion of those who are familiar with the ci- tation issued against the Birmingham concern by the Alabama public service commission a few days ago. The com pany officials had been cited to ap- pear before the public service com mission and show cause why they should not be required to improve service over lines in the Magic City. The citation had hardly been delivered. it is said, when the company went into the hands sof a receiver and this action automatically released it from the obligation to appear in Montgom- cry
 The commission cannot order the company to appear for a hearing at this time. At present the company is being operated by a person desiS- mated by the United States court. and state commission cannot order a fed- eral judge to improve service of the company.
 The status of the controversy pe- tween the city of Birmingham, / the people of Birmingham and the state commission, as well as the company, has grown rather puzzling since the concern got into the United States court
 Reports have come to Montgomery from semi-official sources that the street railway system has been i'm. proved the past few days, and the com- mission is hopeful that conditions will gradually become better. If this is done, no matter what disposition is made of the assets of the company the matter will end, it is unoffically re- ported.

Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage
 Tea and Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and life less. is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color. that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attra active. use only this old time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other in- gredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair so naturally so evenly, that mo- body can possibly tell it has been ap- piled You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time By morning the gray hair disap- pears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it alsu brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance,- Adv.

The South Faces Loss of Prosperity

For 50 years the South has been in economic slavery Through generations the farmer and his wife and children have slaved and suffered and worn out their lives in poverty and deprivation trying to keep body and soul
 together The South has been blamed for its illiteracy, backwardness and the general apathy of it's people. But why were these things so? Because comparatively few rich manufactur- CTS and spinners have used every means to keep down the price of cotton so that they could make more money. Southern farmers have sacrificed their lives in order that the world might have cheap clothes to wear. In the meantime his northern brother producer of wheat, corn and cattle, has been riding in his automobile inn proving his farms and his homes, building bet ter roads and schools, and getting some of the comforts and pelasures of life. On account of economic conditions produced by the war, how ever, and because of the greater diversification

Its farmers and planters inn a very high cost produced what in normal years is short crop, and yet now they tell us that there is too much cotton and the prices are too high The South cannot afford to go back to it's old standing, of only a bare existence but it must have better living, better education, more comforts and bigger opportunity for it's boys and girls. Let us stand together in this matter and refuse to go back to the old regime. Let us refuse to give up our prosperity and what is due us. Let us hold our cotton and plant less cotton this year in order to hold up the price, Unless this is done, the price of cotton will be ham, mered down at the loss of untold millions to the South and it's people.
