I was tor mented by itching and my hair began to come out by the combfuls. I al most became frantic, fearful that I would lose all of my hair which was my pride. There were some pimples on my scalp and I scratched them un til they made sores. My hair was dry and lifeless. “I saw the advertisement of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent to my druggist for three cakes of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. I washed my scalp with warm water strong with the Cuticura Soap and dried, afterwards applying the Cuti cura Ointment, working it in the scalp slowly with my fingers.

COMMISSION MAKES REPORT Net Earnings of Property, Shown at *731,468.33, Less Rental Paid State. —Atlanta. The Georgia Railroad Commission, having in mind the forthcoming ex piration of the present lease of the Western and Atlantic railroad, has given out some most interesting and, in parts, astonishing - figures in con nection with the business of that road under its present lease contract to the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad. The figures submitted by the com mission show conclusively, when compared witli the figures assembled for other loads, that the Western and Atlantic is the “best paving rail road line in Georgia,” and the com mission flat-footedly states as much. With the matter of re-leasing the road now being considered by a leg islative committee, some of the in formation given out by the commis sion is of vast and far-reaching im portance and significance at this time. The commission says: "'The Western and Atlantic rail road belongs to the state of Georgia; it runs from Atlanta to Chattanooga, a distance of 136.8 miles, and is leas ed to the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad for $420,012 per an num. “The Louisville and Nashville rail road owns 71 per cent, of the capital stock of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, the lessee company. The Louisville and Nash ville lias trackage rights over the state road for its trains, through Et owah, Tenn., from Cartersville to At lanta, and for trains through Knox ville, Tenn., from Marietta to Atlanta In addition to leasing its road and the physical properties actually used in railway operations, the state leases other valuable properties, including city real estate in Chattanooga, all included in the gross rental above mentioned. “The gross revenue received by the lessee company from the operation and use of all the property leased to it by the state for the year ended June 30, 1013, was $3,374,910.79. “Deducting this latter sum front the gross receipts front the leased property leaves net earnings of the same property of $731,469.33, which is 5 per cent, net on $14,629,386. “From the net earnings of the property, $731,469.33, the rental paid the state, $420,012, leaves a net profit front the lease to Ihe lessee of $311,- 457.33.’’ Can’t Exploit Schemes in Georgia. "Georgia declines to allow oil and gas promotion schemes exploited in this state.” Such was the curt but clean-cut reply Secretary of State Cook made to a letter from one of these pro moters. A few days ago, no less than seven of these oil and gas concerns applied for admission to this state, but, being unable to come within 1,000 miles of qualifying under the “blue skv“ law and the regulations set up by the secretary, were turned down cold. There seems to be a veritable plague of these concerns with designs on this stale, but they are finding some pretty serious hurdles now in the secretary of state's office. It makes one shudder to think what would have happened to guileless Georgians in this good year of 1914 if the “blue sky” law had not been passed and become ef fective. Evidently news of Georgia’s fine fi nancial condition has gone abroad over the land, and the Wallingfords are about the first to catch the hum of industry and observe the signs or prosperity. Many of them flocked in unaware that Georgia had erected a pretty effectual barrier against such vultures until they landed on the , scene. Others thought they would “take a chance” in “trying to get by,” j “take a chance” in “trying to get by." Deficit in Pension Fund. In his report, which went to the governor. Commissioner of Pensions jJ. W. Lindsey indicates that there will be a deficit of $35,350.54 in the pension this year. He estimates that there will be 18,600 pensioners this year. At S6O each there will be need ed $1,116,000 to pay them. The act ; ual fund made available by the legis lature, including $10,619.1t> brought forward from last year is $1,080,619.16. The commissioner's report shows : that the number of pensioners brought ; from last year's rolls are 19,536. With 736 added to the rolls this year it ! would make a total of 20,272. Forty Corn Club Boys Visit Atlanta. Forty-two members of the boys’ corn club and one young lady of the girls’ canning clubs, who had just fin ished a ton days’ course at the State College of Agriculture, passed through Atlanta on their way to their homes. While here they called at the oapitol, where they were addres sed by Assistant Commissioner of Ag riculture Han G. Hughes. The boys won scholarships at the recent corn show in Atlanta, entitling them to free courses at the state college. G. V. Cunningham, one of the agents, was in charge of the party. COFFEE COUNTY PROGRESS, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA i ’ Want “Black-Eyed Pea Dinner.’* The Cinderella of the farm product world is coming into her Own, and with a following out of the sugges tion made by Commissioner of Agri culture James It. Price and Assistant Commissioner Dan G. Hughes they declare the people of Georgia may make this lowly sister one of the greatest products of the state. The black-eyed or common cowpea is the particular product declared to be Georgia’s greatest resource. A suggestion is made by the twq men at the head of Georgia’s agricultural department that all loyal Georgians lend a helping hand bv calling for a “black-eyed pea dinner” at least one day in each week. Wednesday is the day suggested as the one on which Georgians should partake of peas, and beginning with the first Wednesday in February Messrs. Price and Hughes will de velop the habit. And they are calling upon their friends to join with them. Of Georgia’s 26,000,000 cultivated acres they declare at least one third should he planted in peas in the reg ular rotation of crops. And in this crop they hold that the farmer would have one which would show no loss, as the many uses to which the pea and its vine and roots may he put are certain to bring some valuable return. In combining peas witli Wednesday a lucky day and a lucky food are brought together. All truly romantic people, bearing respect for the goddess of luck, marry on Wed nesday. Since revolutionary days southerners have made a habit of eating black-eyed peas on New Years day, a legend given assurance that for each pea eaten on the first day of the year the consumer will accu mulate a dollar during the next twelve months. In itself the black-eyed pea is a most remarkable product of the soil. It will grow on the knoll or in the bottom land, and in the poor ground nearly as well as the good, rt is a blessing because of its quick returns, a;id requires but little care. Nothing has. proven more fattening to hogs than peas, and swine turned into a pea patch will eat the meaty pods with all the relish of a hungry youngster consuming a Thanksgiving dinner. There’s no finer hay to be found than that produced by the black-eyed pea, and cut fresh and kept green as ensilage, stored in a silo, will furnish a supply of green food all winter for the livestock. Even to old Mother Earth it has proven a greater friend than all of the fertilizers, as the roots when plowed under revive and enrich the soil. Slaton Impressed With Appeal. Rarely has executive clemency been exercised in a case more pa thetic or more deserving than that of Dalton Kelly, a negro “lifer,” who was paroled by the governor. Kelly was convicted in Jasper county in 1894 of the murder of au other negro named Tom Lewis, and received a life sentence. That was during (he convict lease system, and Kelley was sent to Dade county to toil in the coal mines. So intolerable was his situation that he managed to escape in 1904, after serving ten years, and finally made His way to Dade county Fia. Here lie married and lived until 1910, when he experienced a religious con version at a negro revival. _From that time he knew no peace of con science, feeling that he could not square himself with God as long as he was an escaped convict. So one day in 1911 he made his ap pearance at Monticello, Ga., and sur rendered himself to the Jasper coun ty sheriff. The sheriff had never heard of him and it took some time to look up the record in the case and find where the negro belonged. As soon as the sheriff was able to locate him, the negro was remanded to the penitentiary, where he has served as a model prisoner ever since. Now it develops that he was probably never guilty of the murder in the first instance, as witnesses have been produced that he was twice fired on by Lewis before he killed him. In granting the parole, the governor has made the following brief annotation on the prison board’s regular form: “Developments subsequent to the trial show that lie was unjustly con victed.” All Passes Forbidden. By executive order the railroad commission has declined to allow the issuance of passes on the Georgia Railroad to the stockholders and di rectors of the Georgia Railway and Banking company, owners of the road. Some time ago Mr. C. A. Wick ersham, general manager of the Geor gia road, made inquiry of the com mission if he could issue passes to such directors and stockholders. The commission wrote in reply that, inasmuch as the Georgia Rail way and Banking company had leas ed the Georgia road and its branches to W. M. Wadley, who had in turn re leased to the Louisville aud Nash ville and the Atlantic Toast Line, passes could not. legally, he issued Warrant For School Teachers. Governor Slaton made a requisition on the state treasurer fob $1,188,089.- 27 to be paid to the public school teachers of the state. Of this $1,018.- 197.89 goes to the county systems, while $169,551.3S is to be paid to the local systems. To the Atlanta schools there has been apportioned $57,744.16. It will be several days before the checks can be mailed out to the re spective counties, as there will be a large -number of them and a good deal of clerical work is required in j making them out UTILE ITEMS Of GEORGIA CITIES Cordele. —Preparations are being made by the Cordele chamber of com merce to hold the “farmers' rally” at an early date. President ('. J. Hadeu of the Georgia chamber of commerce, will address the meeting on topics of general interest among the farmer's. It is proposed that at this time a movement will be inaugurated to re-organize the Crisp County Fair as sociation. Savannah. —As trustees of the Tel fair Academy of Arts and Sciences, the board of curators of the Georgia Historical society has sold to Herbert L. Pratt of New York, for $2,800 a recently discovered autograph signa ture of Button Gwinnett, an early governor of Georgia, congressman, and one of the three signers of the Declaration of Independence from this state. Dublin.--A $50,000 mausoleum is to be erected in this city at an early date and will he a very handsome, af fair, containing 300 crypts for the storage of bodies. While the citizens of the city rarely die except from old age, they are not averse to hav ing as modern and ornate a tomb as possible, and the mausoleum propose tion will probably prove popular with them. Brunswick. —The United States submarine flotilla, including five of these dangerous little fighters, and the monitor Tonopah, which is acting as a convoy, is moored at wharves along Brunswick’s river front, and since their arrival they have been visited by hundreds of people, who are welcomed on the fighters each af ternoon after 2 o’clock. The fleet left Charleston, and, despite a rough sea, made an usually quick trip to this port. Macon.—Because of their curiosity to see if a can of powder would burn, the five little children of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Walthall, 2023 Third street, were seriously, though not necessarily fatally injured by the ex plosion which followed the touching of a match to the powder by Ever ett Walthall, aged 14. The can co.v tained a pound of powder, and had been secured from a shelf in the kitchen by Everett, the oldest boy. Little Nellie expressed a desire to see if the powder would burn, and to oblige her Everett struck a match to it. At tlie time the children were all down on their hands and knees watching developments. Milledgeville.—lt seems that .the hookworm is destined to banishment from Baldwin county. Drs. Wood and Whittle, of the state board of health, working in co-operation witli the county authorities, are striving here to rid the people of this trouble some disease. Hundreds of school children and many grown-up people have already been examined. The dispensaries for distributing the medicine and making examinations are held throughout the county on certain days of the week at Union Point, Meriwether, Cooperville, Tril by and Milledgeville. Athens.—The first suit ever brought by the United States in this division court in the form of con demnation proceedings to take lands under the federal conservation laws, was filed before Deputy Clerk \V.

The tract involved is about 200 acres in Rabun county, a part of the proposed Appalachian reserva tion. Griffin. —The chief work of the Griffin-Spalding county board of trade at this special season is advertising the city. In this special department considerable activity is observed. A great deal of printed matter is being distributed and advertising novelties as souvenirs are being sent out over the country. Two special features of advertising now in progress are the efforts made to secure the next meet ing of the Confederate soldiers and or the members of the State Horticul tural society. A committee has been appointed to go to Macon and confer with General Preston relative to hold ing the next Confederate reunion in this city. Decatur. —George W. Pierce, w’ho recently died suddenly while eating dinner at the home of his son, Jesse F. Pierce, near Stone Mountain, was the oldest citizen in the county, and perhaps in the state. He was born in Putnam county. Ga., on February C, 1805, and at his birthday this year would have been 109 years old. Mr. Pierce's father moved to DeKalb county when George was quite young and settled among the Indians. But by and by the Indians were gathered together and taken west to the In dian territory, and George’s father helped to move them. On his return he drew a lot of land, or rather a section of 640 acres, not far from Crooked creek. He had no longer the red man for his neighbor, but he was visited quite often by wolves, losing quite a number of pigs and sheep by these animals. There were no schools nearby at that time and young Pierce grew up to manhood without any schooling. Carrollton. —Perhaps no high school In the state, in or out of the High School association, has made greater progress in the past year than the Fourth District Agricultural and Me chanical school. Although a com paratively new school, its W'ork is be ing recognized, and graduates of the school are in demand. Fitzgerald.—Twenty-five box cars are reported as having been burned at the Atlanta, Birmingham and At lantic shops, owing to a high wind and the lack of water. Many other cars were saved by moving out of the range of the fire. Are Your Hands Tied? j /i by a chronic disease common to woman* J y/y 39 kind? You feel dull—headachey?
