publican leaders throughout the
State are seeking arrangements
whereby only one candidate for
Congress will be brought out in
each District.
The Herald goes on to give the
details of these arrangements"
which the Republican bosses in
Kentucky are making. In the
first District the harmony pro-

upon" and "The entire party or

candidate. " In the Fourth Dis.

Ninth the way is not so easy,
but, according to the Herald, it
may be cleared up" and only
one candidate aspire to the Re.
publican nomination.
Finally, the United States
Senatorship must be disposed of.
There are at least a half dozen
prominent Republicans who
would like to become candidates
for that nomination-men like
Gov. Wilson and Judge Kerr
and Judge Bethurum-but as the

ers predict" according to the
Herald that there will be only
one starter in the United States

SAGE TEA DARKENs
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Grayl Here's a.
Old-tiine Recipe that Amy
body can Apply.

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dun, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle Of 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation.
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients. which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell II has
been applied. You simply dampeh a
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two, II becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.

the assembling and shipping of both
dressed and rough lumber will be on
the same site, which is just east of
the Southern railroad station. Here
will be handled the output of four
sawmils owned and operated by the
company and the Yield of a number
of other mills for which they have

Mr.. f. H. Badger is in charge Of
the construction of the planning mill.
Work on it began last Friday and is

CAMPAIGN is A SUCCESS

The campaign of the members of
st. PauPs church in behalf of the sue
cess Of the Nationwide Campaign last
Sunday was a success, in so far as the
members of the parish were seen.
Every member of the church met his
or her quta and subscribed that
amount willingly. There are a num-
Der of the members of ST. Paul's who
are scattered over the country and a
number were out of the city, but if
these support the movement as all
others have done, the church's full
quota will be written.
The following gentlemen worked
very enthusiastically for the success
of the cause: Messrs. r. r. Banks,

Auto Delinquents
Paying Double Tax
An Auto Privilege Taxes are Now
Doubled.

Bewailings, lamentations and var
led other forms Of kicking prevailed
Monday morning at the sheriff's Of
fee Not that there were any physi-
cal calamities or any crimes commit
ed or anything in that line, but just
simply a bunch Of automobile owners
calling to pay privilege tax license.
According to the salary law Tor
county officers which went into eff
feet recently the sheriff no longer
gets damages and can offer no more
lenieney to delinquen.s, and as the
time for payment of privilege tax
license expired on last Saturday those
who failed to pay had 100 per cent
added to their regular privilege of
running an automobile in the state
and county for 1920.
Last year there were about 700
automobiles in the county, according
to the license numbers issued at the
sheriff's office. 1t is estimated that
there has been an increase of at least
200 in Lowndes county within the
last year so that would make the
number in the county now about 900.
Up to Saturday night only $50 had
bought privilege license and 1920
number tags. That leaves. more than
200 who are going to have to pay
double.
Tax rates on motor driven vehicles
ranges from $500 for Fords to $l2..
plus $500 for the license tag number
The tag remains at the same old
price Of $500 but the from $500 to
$1,000" has just exactly doubled since
January 81. All this damage money

Other delinquents with poll, per-

stuck for ten per cent damages dur
ing January but Sheriff West an
nounces that all this will be refunded
in accordance with an act of the
state Legislature passed on January
10Th which extended the time to Feb

are now being added, beginning with

The rative Of the Hawaiian Islands
is called the Kanaka. He is big
man with straight hair, brown skin,
and is a world renowned swimmer,
boatman and fisherman. He is Of the
Malay race. He loves music and his
rendition Of popular airs is peculiar
to himself. Also he has his music,
"Alohe,' Elsie and many. many
others are typically Hawaiian. His
music has taken us by storm, and no
sort or kind of music has had such a
popular fad or following as has the
music of the Hawaiian Islands, The
Hawaiian ulay has enjoyed great pop
ularity. "The Bird of Paradise" is an
example, for few plays of the past
few seasons have enjoyed the success
this play has had.
"A Daughter Of the SUM-" the story
of an Hawaiian Butterfly is the latest
play of Hawaii The story of the
play is love story, pure and sim
pie The wonderful atmosphere of
the islands is maintained in part by a
troupe Of native musicians. The
cast is an excellent one. The Mutual
Play Co, the producers, have spared
no effort in the equipment OF this,
their latest play. WEI be presented

Gentemen:
Service and Ford cars are SYNONYMOUS and we
feel that ii IS due you to tell you the part Red
Crown Gasoline Is playing in the exacting service
given to the public by Ford Cars.
Through your efforts we were persuaded, with
much misgVing confess, to give Red Crown
Gasoline a thorough try-out and the results have
indeed exceeded our expectations.
Not only is Red Crown q quicker starting
gasoline than shat generally sold to motorists, but
it also has the qualities for quick acceleraion ofthe
motor, and best OF al, from the stand point Of
economy it cannot be beaten when it comes to
long mileage per.gaion.
From the above it does SEEM that RED
CROW N GASOLINE and FORD CARS are
BOTH synonyms for service.
Yours truly,

yielded, and war was declared. In
tens days Dewey had smashed the
enemy squadron in Manila bay in ten
weeks another squadron was sunk
or captured off Santiago; in three
months and half poor old Spain
threw up the sponge.
1t took twice as long to make peace
as to make war. The Philippines
caused all the trouble. AS we had not
captured the islands in the war, many
believed that we should let them
alone. But Mckinley decided to de-
mand from Spain the surrender Of
the Philippines.
Without waiting for ratification, the
president dispatched military expe-
ditiOn to take over the Philippines,
proclaiming to the revolving Filipinos
the policy of benevolent assimila-
tion." The resulting war dragged its
unpleasant length for two years be-
fore the inhabitants unwillingly bowed
to their new master.
1t was the strange fortune Of
president whose entire public life had
been given exclusively to domestic
questions to plant the flag in the dis
tant Philippines and to send 1t to the
pink walls Of the Forbidden City OF
China. In the march on Picking for the
