ATTRACTIVE PRODUCTS
ome of the newspapers
*gia are suggesting to

best value for his products
must see that they are
prepared for shipment.
People like to buy things
are attractively offered.

while, further down in the center
they are alright. If the good
ones are separated from the bad
ones it means much better prices
for the good ones. If they are
marketed together they will all
sell at the price of the badly
damaged ones.
' The Tifton Gazette agrees with
these views, and so do we.
It is of little value to the

The man who gets the money
out of the diversified crops is the
one that never lets up in the
matter of care and attention un
til the ultimate consumer is
reached.
There can always be found
£ ’
me sort of a market for sec
onds, in the product of the or
chards and the field, but to get
first class prices even for first
class goods, there must be no
hurtful influence.
The package must be sound
throughout and the quality all
that a purchaser could ask.
This is one lesson we believe
the Georgia producer has to
learn.
And the sooner he learns it
the more money he is going to
make.
A nice fall is predicted. Not,
however, in prices.

BLEASE
Out of the recent state pri
maries for senatorial nominations
there emerge political facts per
haps more important, but none
more interesting than the come
back of Coleman Livingstone
Blease, former governor of South
Carolina, nominated for United
States, senator over James F.
Byrnes in the Democratic run-off
primary.
The nomination is equivalent to
election.
Blease was born in Newberry
county, S. C., Oct. 8, 1868. He
studied for the bar and was ad
mitted in 1889 and began prac
tice in the town of Newberry.
The following year he was suc
cessful in his campaign for elec
tion to the South' Carolina house
of representatives and held his
seat for eight years.
State Senators.
He next filled the post of city
attorney of Newberry and then
returned to the capitol as a state
senator. Back home again after
four years he became mayor of
his city.
He was elected governor of his
state in 1911 and served two
terms, minus a few days. He re
signed five days before the expir
ation of his term because he de
clined to go through with the
ceremony of turning over the
state house to his successor.
While governor he drew the
fire of his oponents for his gen
erosity in pardoning prisoners
from the state institutions.

Good Will Predominates
In arriving at Geneva I was
amazed to find the good-will
there among the representatives,
and above all the earnest effort
at conciliation. There'is now be
fore the League of Nations a
proposition in which three very
important elements are linked
These are compulsory arbitration,
security and disarmament."
Discussing Germany of today
as compared to the Germany he
knew during the ocupation by
American troops, General Allen
said:
<4 The improvement is very not
iceable. I am informed that much
of this has taken place in the
past six months. The streets art
now well kept. The police are
neatly uniformed. The mental at
titude of the people reflects this
improved condition.”
POEMS THAT
MATER DOLOROSA
I’d a dream.tonight
As I fell asleep,
O, the touching sight
Makes me still to weep,
Of my little lad,
Gone to leave me sad.
Ay, the child I had,
But was not to keep.
As in heaven high
I my child did seek,
There in train came by
Children fair and meek,
Each in lily white.
With a lamp alight;
Each was clear to sight,
But they did not speak.
Then, a little sad,
Came my child in turn,
But the lamp he had,
O, it did not burn,
He, to clear my doubt.
Said, half-turned about,
“Your tears put .it out;
“Mother, never mourn. If

WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It Dark
ens So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell.
The old time mixture of
Tea and Sulphur for darkening
gray, streaked and faided hair is
grandmother's recipe, and
are again using it to keep their
hair a good, even color, which is
quite sensible, as we are living in
an age when youthful appearance
is the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don’t
have the troublesome task of
gathering the sage and the
sy mixing at home. All drug
stores sell the ready to use pro
duct, improved by the addition
of other ingredients called “Wy

cause nobody caft discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or brush with it and
draw this through - your hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time;

dies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sul

beautifully darkening the hair

produces that soft lustre and
