Cotton Holders Believe
‘ . "
In “Watchful Waiting
In some of the Dawson ware
houses is stored cotton that has
been held by the growers seven
years, since 1914, waiting for high
er prices. On some of this cotton
the loss per bale is considerably
more than it will now bring on the
market. Another lot for which 42¢
per pound, or $220 a bale, was re
fused a year ago, cannot be sold
now for more than 14 cents, or
$70.00, a decline of $120.00 a bale.
CONTENDS RATE LEVIED FOR
GENERAL PURPOSES IN EX
- CESS OF LEGAL RATE.
’ Payment of county taxes in some
thing like a h‘undred counties is being
lcontested‘ by several of the large rail
roads of Georgia on the ground .that
the counties have levied a rate for
general purposes in excess of the rate
allowed by law. On that ground the
Central railroad has refused to pay its
taxes in Terrell county.
Corporation taxes are collected
from the railroads by the comptroller
general. He collects in September the
taxes due the state and collgcts in De
cember the taxes due the counties and
municipalities. These latter taxes are
then, after being collected by him, dis
tributed among the counties and mu
nicipalities. Comptroller General
Wright has réceived notice from some
thing like a hundred counties, =he
states; that the railroad§ are contest
ing their tax levies on the above stated
ground.
These controversies have arisen
from time to time in the past, he furth
er declared, but are more numerous
this year than ever before. In each
case he will issue a fi fa against the
railroad and the question will be
fought out in the courts.

Old Veterans Were Remembered by
Daughters of the Confederacy. In
teresting Meeting of Chapter.
The Mary Brantley Chapter, U. D.
C., met in regular session Friday af
ternoon at the club house with a large
attendance. Attractive decoratioffs ap
propriate to the holiday season bright
ened the assembly room, where Mrs.

giving a few words of greeting for the

Lord’s prayer followed.
The short business session was full
of interesting information touching the
different lines of chapter work. Mrs.
G. W. Dozier reported a box of fruits
and other good things sent to the sol
diers’ home, valued at $2O. Mrs. J. D.
Weaver presented the matter of con
tributing to the fund for purchasing
a sword for the distinguished Geor

interesting paper, gave rinc¢idents of
their service. Other entertaining feat
ures of the splendid program were two
short readings by Miss Lucile Lewis,
“Paddy’s Courting,” and “Christmas
Gift.” A vocal solo, “Whisperings,”
by .Miss Lucile Jones, and two read
ings by Mrs. Jack McNulty, “An Old
Sweetheart of Mine,” and “Aunt Je
mina,” were also interesting features.
A most delightful social gave every
one the pleasure of meeting the schol
arship girls and boys, who are the spe
cial pride of the chapter and the guests
of honor on this last meeting of the
year. Sandwiches and coffee were
served by the entertainment commit
tee.

THE DAWSON NEWS-
GATHERERED AT METHODIST
CHURCH, WHERE INTEREST
ING EXERCISES WERE HELD
A program of unusual interest and
scope was arranged for thes watch
night service at the Methodist church,
the pastor, Rev. Reese Griffin, enlist
ing the aid of the officials of the
church, the women’s societies and the
young people’s organizations in mak
ing the occasion one of real enjoyment
and uplift. The junior choir, under
the direction of Mrs. W. F. Sherman,
featured the first half hour of the
meeting, stirring musical numbers de
lighting the large audience. The part
played by the little folks in the beau
tiful program arranged by Mrs. M. H.
Harper was perhaps the most enjdy
able of all the good things provided.
The performance of each little tot was
without a flaw, showing superior tal
ent and the most careful training.
Timely talks were made by the min
isters of the different churches, and
chairmen of the various departments
’of the church activities were called on
by Mr. Griffin to outline their plans
of work for the New Year. A' quiet
season of prayer and thanksgiving was
followed by a.social hour, when light
refreshments were served by the
iladies of the missionary society. The
'services came to a close at midnight,
'but there was not the usual ringing
'of the church bells to herald the New
' Year on account of serious illness in a
‘nearby home,

on the weary one who had come tri
umphantly “through great tribula

Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.
Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixturc of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur Compound,” which dark
ens the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. 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
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
‘after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap
pearance to the hair. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.
