TOM WATSON TWICE A DELEGATE
TO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION

his head in defiance, his red locks ma
jesticaly waving as a signal of battle,
he delivered an imprisoned outburst
which threw his followers into fren-
zy of delight and drove the opposition
into delirium of discomfort.
Here is an extract from his ring
ing deliverance, which will no doubt
be read with special interest at this
particular time. 1t will be seen that
in sentiment and spirit the Watson
of 1880 and the Watson of 1920 are
alike and unchanged, one and the
same:
Mr.. Chairman, | have said and |
say now that | am here with no bit
terness of partisan rancor. have
fought this much named gentleman,
A. H. Colquitt l have fought him
honestly. have advocated Rufus
Lester | have advocated him honest
ly. But high and serene above them
both, above my opposition to Col
quit, above my support Of Lester,
rises my love, my devotion to my
state, like the tranquil star that burns
and CLEANS beyond the reach of the
drifting clouds.
Sir, the gentleman's position means
that we must take Colquitt or the
party shall be disrupted. Sir, if it
must come, let it come. We love the
party, honor it, are devoted to it, but
we will not yield when the gentleman'S
speech has made it loss of self-re-
spect to surrender.
IF they will split this convention
we will be here to the end; if they
will sink the ship, we will remain in
I her shadow to the last. We would
deprecate it. We would deplore it. But
if she can only be saved on terms as
unmanly as these, then
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god OF storms,
The lightning and the gale"

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonder
full effect BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients. all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
hair.
well-known downtown druggist
g everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two. it is restored to its
natural color ana looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
Vention Of disease.

MORE COTTON is
GINNED IN COUNTY
Exceeds by More Than 1000 Bales
The Number Ginned to Same
Date Last Year.

Up to October 18th of this year
there were ginned Gin Terrell county
1886 bales of cotton, which exceeds
the number on the same date last year
by 4,263. To October Is, 1919, there
were ginned 1853 bales.
The report shows a total OF 5,7lZ,-
057 bales ginned in the United States
prior to October Is, and indicates that
the sporadic attempts through the cot
ton belt to keep gins closed until the
price of cotton advanced to higher
levels has had little effect.
The ginnings this year total 1872
953 bales more than the quantity ginn-
ed to October Is last year, when the
crop was 100000 bales smaller than
that forecast for this year.
On the governments forecast of a
crop of 12,123000 bales this year the
ginnings to October Is appeared to be
about All per cent of the total. This
is higher percentage than was ginn-
ed last year to October 1855 per
lower than the average, 48.9,
for the last eighteen years.

SUFFRAGE QUESTION
ENTERS IN ELECTION
ACTING ON ATTORNEY GEN
ERALS OPINION NEGRO WO-
MEN URGED TO GO TO THE
POLLS. THEY SHALL NOT
VOTE, SAYS HARDWICK.

ATLANTA.-In many respects the
most interesting and important general
election in the last decade will be held
Tuesday, November 2, when the vo-
tiers of the state are to cast their bal
lots for or against the democratic pres
identia1 nominees, and for or against
the democratic nominees for offices IN
Georgia.
Whether the women will be allowed
to cast their ballots is somewhat I'M
certain on the eve OF election. Attor-
new General Denny has ruled that wo-
men who have placed their names on
the registration lists are eligible to
vote in spite of the Georgia law requlr-
ing registration of all voters at least
six months prior to the date OF an cleo
ton. AS the women were not entran-
chised by the adoption of the suffrage
amendment of the federal constitution
until after the six months period has
expired legal opinion is divided on the
correctness of the attorney generals
ruling.
Hardwick Says No.
Notwithstanding any ruling OF the
states attorney general and advice CIV
en- by DR.. H. E Stockbridge, chairman
of the Georgia republican state cam
paign committee, negro women are
not entitled to vote in this state yet
and are not going to be allowed to
vote Tuesday, according to Thomas
w Hardwick, democratic nominee Tor
governor, in a speech delivered at
Jonesboro Saturday afternoon in be-
half OF the national democratic nomi-
nees.
Doctor Stockbridge's action in At
lanta Friday night in which he went
to Big Bethel church and urged negro
women to go to the polls Tuesday and
vote is a forceful example of why we
democrats of Georgia must support
the democratic national ticket" said
Mr. Hardwick
Women are not entitled to vote yet
in Georgia, either white women or ne
gro women, in spite of Doctor Stock
bridges contention to the contrary, &C
cording to Mr.. Hardwick, who outlin-
ed their exact status i'll this state I'M
der the states election laws.
White Women Won't Vote.
Generally speaking, democratic white
women are not disposed to Compllcate
the validity of the election by voting
or attempting to vote. Among negro
women, however, hundreds OF whom
have registered in various large Coun-
ties, there is a movement on loot by
the republican state central committee
to send them to their respective vot-
ing precincts to demand the right to
vote, and then to test the question in
the courts if they are not allowed to
vote.
Thus the suffrage question will en-
ter into Georgia election for the first
time, and the ultimate outcome mays
not be determined until the courts
have passed upon it, should the repub
lican leaders carry out their announced
intention of testing the question in the
courts
