N0C0 PEP STARTS COLD MOTOR EASY
Wofford Company's Original BenzoI- Blend Popular For
 Cold Weather Fuel

woco Pep, the famous benzol- blend motor fuel originated and marketed in Birmingham by the Wofford Oil company, is the nearest approach to the ideal cold weather motor fuel available to the motoring public according to the thousands of enthusiastic boosters of the king of motor fuel"
 It Is claimed for Woco Pep that 1t will not only give more miles-less carbon under ordinary driving con- ditions, but that in addition it .a,-.ll furnish a quick start on even the coldest morning. LN explaining the superiority, Wofford company off cials point out that Woco Pep Is more volatile than gasoline and therefore vaporizes more rapidly, even in the coldest motor This, it Is stated, allows the motorist to get away to quick start with only few<revolutions of the motor, where as users of gasoline are often com pelled to almost wear down bat tery getting the motor started.
 Business at the Woco Pep stations Is reported at a record point for this period of the year and with a real cold snap the Woco men expect to see still additional converts in their Vtations, they say.

COTTON PRODUCTION
ON COMPETITIVE BASIS

SYDNEY, N. S. w. Jan. 12-In-
vestigation conducted by the visiting
delegation of British cotton experts
revealed that cotton raised in Aus
tralia by white labor could compete
successfully with that r;ksed in 9TH
er lands, according to the delega-
tons report.
There is no need to worry about
the maintanence Of the "White Aus
tralia" policy so far as the extern
sion of the cotton industry is con-
cerned." according to Daniel Jones,
Queensland government cotton ex-
pert.
In Queensland, the cotton return
per acre over the harvest season of
from five to eight months is more
than the average yield in the United
States, he said, giving instances of
crops belonging to returned soldiers
here which realized as much as thirty
pounds per acre, with a production
cost of eight pounds. This success
is due partly, he said, to the fact
that many of the plantations had
been worked on the family-share sys-
tenn, Independent Of outside labor.
Many additional acres of cotton are
being planted

$4,000 BOND ISSUE
WANTED FOR schools
Continued from Page One.)

Dykes declared, cor our schools will
suffer and it will be impossible TO
receive all the pupils applying for
seats. The school rooms now are
over-crowded, with 35 and 40 pupils
in a room, whereas there should not
be more than so pupils" H.
The schools now need five OF six
more teachers, he declared, and a
bond issue must be put over this
summer or a new high school build
ing and additions to the negro school,
which is more congested than any Of
the white schools.
The city can now issue $4,000
additional bonds, Mr.. Dykes said,
without exceeding it's legal lmita-
tions. The schools need at least
$4,000 of this sum; 100000 must
be used for new high school, the
present high school being taken for
the lower grades and $4,000 devot-
cd to enlargement of the negro school
building.
''This is the business of the bust
ness men," Mr.. Dykes declared. eve
can not wait longer. This bond issue
must be passed this summer or our
children will suffer in 1924. Every
civic organization in Amercus will be
asked to join the Board of Education
in an educational campaign, acquaint-
ing the citizens with the actual con-
ditions faced today by the board and
their schools"
The resolution was unanimously
passed.
John Sheffield, speaking for a
special committee from the Rotary
club, appointed to look into the af-
fairs of the Chamber of Commerce
and report regarding it's activities and
whether it should be continued or
diSbanded, stated that the Chamber
of Commerce is out of debt, has
money in the bank and is doing splen-
did work in a limited way, but car
ing for all needs that have presented
themselves. He declared it as the
unanimous opinion of the Rotary
committee that the chamber should be
continued, that every Rotarian should
be member and a worker in the

stating that the reason Massachusetts,
for instance, was richer state than
Georgia, was because the fathers,
generations back, began training
their sons, seeing that they secured
good Quotations; thar they had the
proper home sC-roundings.
There is 2 period in the life of
every boy when he is ready and cap
able of receiving training, he said,
and it it at this period that fathers
and mothers should exert their infiu-
ence with the child. The child witch
proper home training is a law-abid-
ing citizen il after years.
1t is too often true today that it is
the child that dictates and not the
parent. This, the speaker account
ed for through the fact that both
fathers and mothers were too busy
with other things 10 devote time and
patience to training their offspring.
'You can tell by the conduct of a
child in the school room, Just what
his home training has heen," Mr. Hag-
rell declared.

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
its Natural Color and
Lustre At Once

Common garden sage brcwcd into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, strcakcd and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trouble
some. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use preparation improved by
the addition of other ingredients a
large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" thus avoiding a lot of
muSs.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful ap-
pearance and attractiveneSs. By dark
ening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, be-
cause it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning ali gray hairs have
disappeared. After another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you
appear years younger.

STOPS BACKACHE.

The heat of red peppers takes the
"ouch" from a sore, lame back. 1t can
not hurt you, and it certainly ends the
torture at once.
When you are suffering SO you can
hardly get around, just try Red Pepper
Rub, and you will have the quickest re-
lief known. Nothing has such concern
tratcd, penetrating heat as red peppers.
Just as soon as you apply Red Pep
per Rub you will feel the tingling heat.
In three minutes it warns the sore spot
through and through. Pain and sore-
ness are gone.
Ask any druggist for a jar of RowIes
Red Pepper Rub. Be sure to get the
genuine, with the name Rowles on each
package.

spoke on this subject and Mr.. Harrell
brought part of DR.. Bankers address

"The big business of life" Mr.
Harrell said, "is training boys to fill

The finest legacy any father can
leave to his son is desire for right

Smuch time after school. Young PEN
ney found . way, however.
He started raising hogs. He let no
one help him. During his free hours
he went out collecting slops for his
Hpigs. The business grew so large
that he finally had to give it up.
His next venture was planting wa
termelons.
After he finished school, he got his
first job in the largest general store
in town. His pay was 1927 a month.
The next year he was raised to
h$16.66 but his health failed him and
he had to go to Denver.
Undaunted by Failure.
There he went into the butcher
business-and failed.
Penniless he got job in drygood

bought a part interest in a branch

beginning of the J. C. Penney chain
