of the voters of 'Grady county tp
the recent change in the regis
tration laws of this state.

months before the general elec
tion. •

Something New In Banking
There is-indeed nothing else
like it? in the whole United States
so far as anybody knows at
present.
Two banks in Rock Hill, S. G.,
lend money to farmers at 6 per
cent. The merchants have to
• 7 per cent!
The reason is that the farmers
leave their accounts in' the bank
a longer time and checks it out-
more gradually.
Did you ever before anywhere
in this country hear of the farm
ers getting ahead of anybody
else?
The outcome of the contest for
the Camilla office continues to
cause speculation there. Since
the announcement that the name
of Mr. 0. E. Cox, who was re
commended for the place by Con
gressman Park, had been sent to
the .Senate for confirmation, no
further information concerning
this matter , has been received
from Washington.
In the meanwhile all candidates
for the place and the public gen
erally are awaiting the outcome
with considerable interest. The
term of Mrs. Lena Brimberry,
the present incumbent, expired
the 15th of January and she made
arrangements to retire from the
office on that date. She is hold
ing over, however, until her suc
cessor is named, which, it is be
lieved, will not be delayed much
longer.
Everybody is invited to
the school auditorium next
week to see the play, “Es
meralda” given by local tal
ent. This will be a rare oc
casion.
STRAIN-SALMONS
A happy maariage which took
place last Sunday, was that of
Miss Strain, of Areton, Ala. to
Mr. Jay Salmons of this. city.
Miss Strain is a beautiful and
accomplished young Alabama

young man with, excellent .busi
ness ability.
.They arrived here Monday and
received a hearty welcome by nu
merous friends, who join us in
wishing for them a happy and
prosperous voyage over the sea of
matrimony.
Mr. T. H. Dekle, who announc
ed in last week’s issue oijth'e Pro
gress, for the office of Tax . Re
ceiver, cannot make the race on'
account of not having been in the
county the required number of
years, and has requested us to
announce the same to the voters
of the county.
When Mr. Dekle announced he
had not thought of this part of
the law, and of course has to
with draw.
He has also requested .us to say
that he is very grateful to his
friends, for tneir assuhn e; of
support, and .will always remem
ber them.

Pearly Teeth
Go through the European cities
and you will see a great many
signs “Dr. So-and-So, American
Dentist.” ’
They know oyer there that
American dentists are the best
and most skilful in the world—
and they do say it is because the
American people have the worst
teeth in the world.
Not so very flattering it is
But never mind. With the best
dental skill at our coriimand, and
dentifrices ox the right sort that
will all come out right.
We keep everything for the
hygiene of the mouth—tooth
brushes, tooth powders,' pastes,
and washes, mouth washes, den
tal floss..
We specially recommend
Perla-Benta Tooth Paste
because it has the right cleansing
and polishing ingredients, pleas
antly flavored, and it certainly
justifies its name which signifies
“pearly teeth.”
There are-a number of. good
tooth pastes. We are not pre
judiced-just as soon sell you one
as another—but why not try our
advice once and see if Penslar
isn’t a little nicer than your favo
rite kind? If it is, you certainly
want.it.
Pelra-Denta Tooth Powder is
just the right sort too—the most
particular people use paste and
powder both, alternately.

Thpmasville, Ga., Feb. 9.—
W’ha.l la now her legal status" is
the question propounded to her
Thomasville lawyers, Messrs.
Luke and Moore, by the young
wornan who was Miss Rosebud
English before she was married
to A. D. Oliver, ex-Climax bank
er and financier. Miss English
was married to Oliver when he
\\ as at the hight of his spectacu
lar career in this section. He
gave her many handsome pre
septs and seemed very devoted
to her. 1
When Oliver was thrown into
bankruptcy and his case carried
to the courts, though charges of
all sorts were brought against
him the' only one on which he
was convicted was bigamy, it be
ing alleged that as L. C. Hard
ing he had been already married
in Mississippi and his wife was
still living. With this, as it was
then thought, proven the wife he
had married in Climax felt that
she was not a wife and went
back to her mother. Some time
afterwards she married a Mr.
James, who claimed to be selling
mining stock. She went West
with him, but left him in a short
time claiming that he had mis
treated her.- Not long ago she
obtained a divorce from him in
Thomas Superior Court.
As things stand now, if Oliver
is not Harding then his marriage
to Miss English was valid and
she wishes advice as to whether
in the eyes of the law she is con
sidered, his wife now. She is
well" known"kere having been a
former student of Young’s Col
lege and, also has relatives here.
When working as a convict in
Lee county Oliver told acquain
tances from here that his wife
had visited him and had stated
that she still loved him.

Mr. Dudley Stanfill returned
Thursday morning from Braden-
town, Fla., with a negro who it
is thought is Charlie Williams,
who killed Sheriff Tyus some
years ago. There seems to be a
difference of opinion as to hte
identify, some believing it is
him, while others are positive it
is not.
The negro was located some
time ago by Florida officers at
the above mentioned place, and
Mr. Stanfill has made two trips
there,,returning with the negro
on the last one.
The negro bears some' of the
marks and scars of the Williams.
negro. He claims he left’ Ekst-
man, Ga , some 8 years ago, and
claims he knows no one in this
section, except former Sheriff
Patterson of Decatur county.
