BLACK BARONS TO OPEN BIG SERIES AGAINST ATLANTA
. Black Barons and Black

The Black Barons and Black Crackers of Atlanta were rained out Thursday afternoon, but will play Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at Redwood in the first game of the series.
 Maddox, the one-armed Atlanta pitcher, will be on the mound for the Black Crakers. Maddox, who has only a left arm, is handicapped but little by his lack of a pair of fingers and fields his position good as well as pitch ball.
 Durant will probably oppose him on the mound.
 The Black Barons have lost but one game this year and have played the strongest teams in Dixie. Atlanta is one of the foremost of the colorad organizations on othe southern dia- mond and will give the Barons a good run for their money in the coming series.

If there is a girl not afraid of lions,

gagged in an endurance race around
the world against Unit No. 2, piloted
by her husband, steered her party in

secretary.
Above all the girl who applies for
this position must have common

ton, as she admits she has stood the
rigors of 10000 miles in almost three
years remarkably well.

mustn't be bowlegged, for at all times

SAGE TEA DANDY
TO DARKEN HAIR
st's Grandmother's Recipe TO
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

You can turn gray, faded hair beau-
tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you'll get bottle of "'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any
drug store. Millions of bottles of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
are sold annually, say well-known drug
gists here, because it darkens the hair
SO naturally and evenly that no one can
tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have surprise await
ing them, because after one or two ap::
piications the gray hair vanishes and
your locks become luxuriantly dark and
beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't wanted
around, so get busy with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound tonight and
you'll be delighted with your dark,
handsome hair and your youthful APP
pearance within few days.

GEORGIA MAN GOING
STRONG AT ITO YRS.
EXPECTS TO REACH 200 IF APP
PETITE HOLDS OUT. USED
TO BE A REAL MAN.

To have lived in the days when
there was no Atlanta, when the Unit
ed States was but young struggling
republic, when the steam engine was
not invented and the kerosene lamp
was looked upon as some new non
sense-this is the experience OF
George Washington Virgins, o
Rex, Ga.
Among the Oldest.
He is one of the oldest white men
in the United States, for although
there are Indian chiefs who lay claim
to a greater number of years, there is
nothing certain about the date of
their nativity. In the case of Mr..
Wiggins, however, the only doubt is
whether he is 100 or 10 years old
Il am we'll over the hundred mark,
and, if my appetite keeps good /
reckon I'll live to be 200," he said.

young men would come and sit with
us on the porch in the evening and
tell my father how they licked the
red-coats.

right into the bar room, whip out my
pistol and shoot off the necks of, the
bottles Now days they would think
| was rough, but no one minded it
then. 1t showed a man was a pretty
tolable shot, that's all"
Mr.. Virgins still takes an active
interest in his neighbors, who go to
see him from time to time. There are
moments when it is a real struggle to
recall their names Recalling names,
in fact, is the hardest task of all. In
recent years, however Mr.. Virgins
has become feeble and now he frets
because he cannot raise another crop
of corn.

TAXES WILL CAUSE
AN EXTRA SESSION
WALKER WILL CONVENE THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE
EARLY FALL.

In announcing that he will convene
the legislature in extraordinary session
in next November Governor Walker
stated that he would name, in few
days, the membership of special tax
commission, composed of members OF
the assembly, representing farmers,
bankers, manufacturers and mer-
chants, to hold public hearings in diff
ferent sections of the state and make
careful study of the financial needs
of Georgia, and draw up tentative
tax reform measure to submit to the
extraordinary session which will meet
in November next.
This commission will hold meet
ings, said the governor, in Macon,
Savannah, Albany, Columbus, Allan
ia, Rome, Augusta, Athens and posi-
bly, other cities. Citizens generally,
and especially those who have given
any study to the subject of taxation,
will be invited to attend these hear
ings, make suggestions, and, in turn,
receive the ideas of the commission
on the question.
Only Two Subjects.
Governor Walker, in discussing his
plans for the call for an extra session,
stated positively that he would not
include any other subjects in the call
except taxation and the repeal of the
tax equalization law. The specified
subject of taxation" however, will be
broad in its meaning, and will include
all matters pertaining to the revenue
of the state, including in addition to
the tax reform measures the general
tax act, which was tabled in the SEN
ate after it had passed the house, and
measures involving the enforcement OF
the tax laws of the state.

However, according to the Fort

possible for certain contingencies to
develop that would completely alter
the situation. But, with things shaped
up as they appear to be just now, it
is almost certain that Judge Turnip-
seed will be among the contestants
for the high position now held by
