—An Englishman's View of the Cot

The cotton industry of the world
may be revolutionized by a cotton tree
indigenous to India, says J. R.
Spence, of Deese, India, in a commun
ication to the London Commercial In
telligence. i ns
Mr. Spence claims to have discov
ered and propagated a tree that will
produce annually from five to ten
pounds of cotton, superior both In
classification and staple to the Amer
ican cotton and equal In classification
to Egyptian cotton.
He further asserts that he has
planted more than 3,200 trees to the
acre. Even the first year's yield

Tifton, Ga., July 24—Tift county

overwhelming majority as was shown
by the returns of the recent election.

measure. This speaks volumes for

Savannah, July 25—-The announce
ment from Atlanta .that James Sis-
trunk, a negro, had filed a bill In the
superior court of Fulton county to
force the state board of examinera
for admission to .the bar to give him
the right to practice law In Georgia
caused some little amusement In Sa
vannah where Mr. Joseph Cro^k, the
leading member of the board, resides.
Mr. Cronk says that he has never
heard that Sistrunk was a negro un
til today. He was rejected because
he could not make the required per
centage. Hfs papers were examln-
averages from 400 to 800 younds per' A. L. Tolar, merchant at 121 Cen-

WHAT HERPICIDE DOES
Newbra’s Herplcide destroys the tiny vegetable growth in the scalp that causes dan
druff, itching so tip, falling hair and bfcldness. Once this miorobio enemy of the hair is de-
i strayed, and kept out of the scalp, the hair is bound to grow as nature intended, exoept in
I cases of chrouio baldness.
jj£ WHAT SUNLIGHT DOES
Sunlight is nature's great germ destroyer and prophylaotio. The effect of snnligh
upon the scalp proves highly benefiotal, it a complete plan of scalp oleaullness is carried oat-
This cannot be dons without the u.-e of Herpioid*. which prevents reinfection and keeps the
scalp pare and wholesome
More men and women have gotten positive result! from the use
of Newbro'a Herplcide than from all other hair remedies combined.
HOT WEATHER TROUBLES
The perspiration that exudes iu increased quantities daring the summer mouths carries
oat poisonous and refuse matter that would otherwise clog up the pores of the scalp.
Incomplete elimination of this waste produces a hot and feverish condition of the
sweat glands known a4 Prickly Heat for which Herpiclde gives immediate relief. Herplcide
stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.
Ool. Thomp Barton, Member of the Board of Managers of the Ohio Penitentiary,
writes as follows of Newbro’s Herpicide:
"As to Herpicide I find it an excellent hair dressing as w-11 as being tho first and
only abso'nte dandruff cure I have fouud Upon my advioe a number of my frteuds are
using Herpicide, and the unanimous verdict is, that Herploido is, in all respects, everything
that its mauntacturers claim for it.”

You know we can appreciate the fact that this is ONE company, and ONE kind of
insurance in which the plan is so simple and so plain that you can understand Its
workings. There is no chance for confusion, you know exactly what you are ^dolng.
We propose to allow no loose and Indiscriminate handling of rates FOR GRAFT, ft
being the aim of this company to keep out all bad subjects for insurance, and to accept
only the best risks. This means a low death rate.
The reading of your yollpy will be plain, and each policy will be stamped with
bold letters upon Its face, "This Policy is Absolutely Incontestable From Date of Issue
- Except for Fraud or Misrepresentation In Its Procurement, or Non-compliance With
the Terms of Your Policy."

Dear Sir:—I have your favor of this date, also
check given by you as pre*ideut of your company
for $1,000 in full settlem nt of the Policy No 717 of
Isaac J. Holder, mv deceased husband. Daring the
past year it has only cost my husband $5,85 for the
entire year proceeding his death and yon have paid
me the maximum limit of the Policy, without
which I would now be in very dependant circum*
stances. The cost to ca»ry a policy in this company
is so small that any* one who desires insurance may
carry it and I consider the company a blessing to
the poorer class of people who are not able to carry
old line insurance at the exhorbitant rate which
they charge.

desires to carry insurance at all may carry it with
out the least emb«rra*Hineut, however poor they
might be. Including the first premium paid by my
husband, all the assessments since he has held a
