MISS GRIFFIN AND
MR. BROWN MARRY
VALDOSTA, May 19.—The
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Grit tin
on Marion street was the scene of
a pretty wedding this morning when
their daughter, Miss Nellie Griffin,
became the bride of Mr. J. W.

formed by Rev. N. 11. Williams, of
the Methodist church, and was wit
m ssed by the reatives and close
.riends of the bride and groom.
The wedding music was played
>y Miss Snead.
The Griffin home was beautifully
decorated for the occasion witn
roses, lilies and ferns. An impro
vised altar of American beauty
loses, Madonna lilies and ferns
formed a lovely background in the
living room. In the dining room
and sun parlor vases of pink roses
and ferns were used with charming
effect.
The bride was lovely in a blue
coat suit with grey shoes and grey
accessories. Her hat was a blue
close-fitting model with grey trim
mings, and with this becoming cos
tume she wore a corsage of valley

As to the courts, he says: “There

courts and the supreme court. We
must enlarge jurisdiction of our

pecan industry was discussed from
all angles by both scientists and

take my text: ‘Economy and tax re
duction.”
“Economy: Ebery useless job
must be abolished; duplication by
different departments of the state
stopped, and every wasted dollar
saved. The details of this program
will be explained during the cam
paign.
“Taxation: The ad valorem tax
of five mills for state purposes
must be taken of our taxpayers. It
is out of date. That will save five
million dollars to our taxpayers.
One-half of this can be supplied by
a real inheritance tax, the only tax
that cannot be passed on to the com
sumer, and the other one half can
be supplied by a luxury tax, a tax
that cannot be passed on to the
consumer.
“The county tax must be limited,
not to exceed fifteen mills, and
this written into our constitution.
“The city tax rate must be lim
ited, not to exceed fifteen mills,
and this written into our consti
tution.
“The tax levy for education
should be by the county, and limit
ed to just enough to run the schools
when added to state aid.
“The tax equalization law must
be repealed.
“The above tax program would
stabilize our tax laws for this gen
eration and bring relief to ninety
per cent of our people, and cause
untold millions to come into our
state to develop our resources. This
would cause Georgia to foltow
North Carolina and regain her place
as foremost state of the South.
“I am opposed to an income tax,
for it is not needed, and wealth
needs a rest from taxation.
“Education: I have stood for ten
years, in the legislature, for all
possible aid to education from the
primary grade to the top of the uni
versity, but the homes of the farm
ers and laborers must not be sold
even for taxes for education.
“The state school fund should be
converted into an equalization
school fund, so that the children of
Dawson county would have the
same opportunities as those of Ful
ton county.
“The county board of education
should be elected by the people, for
they now have tax levying powers.
“The county should be a unit of
education and every child given the
same opportunity in life, with at
least one high school in every rural
county in Georgia.
“Public, roads: By next year we
will be gifting eight milion dollars
for building an mantaining our
public roads and that is enough.

pro DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness
i
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beauti
fully dark and luxuriant. Just a few
applications will prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur rec
ipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get a bottle of
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound
at any drug store all ready for use.
This is the old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractiveness.
By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because 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 all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant.
