| Wheels Going Around
Again at Great Rate
Hundreds of Men Added to Forces of
Factories in Big Rubber Center.
There's more cheer in Akron, Ohio,
the rubber center of the world, these
days. Great improvement in the tire
business is making the wheels go
round in the big rubber factories at
a great rate, and as a result hundreds
of men have been added to the fac
tory forces.
Following thé announcement of a
few days ago that the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company was increasing
| production and re-hiring former em
ployees, now comes the announcement
of further increases both in produc
tion figures and in the number of men
to be taken on in the Goodyear fac
tories., This necessitates the employ
ment of hundreds of additional men.
The increase in production is ex
plained by the fact that tire stocks
are low for this time of year and must
be immediately increased to take care
of the increase in sales to tire dealers
all over the country. And in addition to
this sales to car manufacturers, which
have been materially curtailed for
some months, are showing a marked
improvement with the increased salé
of new cars. While not anticipating
any boom in business Goodyear oi
ficials express themselves as believing
that the tire industry is getting on a
sound and substantial basis.
Business experts have all along con
tinued to express the belief that the
automotive industry would be one of
the first to show improvement and be
the forerunner of the revival of gen
eral business conditions, and from in
dications in Akron this improvement
has commenced.
Man 33 Years Old Sees
- Woman the First Time
\ ——
Nebraska Man Was Raised Recluse in
Hills by His Father.
~ OMAHA, Neb.—Tracy Gillis, aged
33, until the other day never remem
bers seeing a tailroad train, street car,
airship, woman, daily paper, or a fic
tion magazine. It was the first time
he wag ever near a barber shop or a
razor,
Tracy’s father, George Gillis, 68, re
cently died on his western Nebraska
ranch forty miles from a railroad. Thir
ty years ago the elder Gillis brought
his young son from Chicago. The
boy’s mother was Maggie Ives, an
actress, who deserted her husband and
went with another man te the Twin
Cities.
Resolved that his son should mnot
know what he termed the “terrible
realities of the flesh,” George Gillig,
who claimed to have been converted a
short time after the elopement at a
Moody and Sankey meeting in Chica
go, brought the little boy to Nebras
ka. His claim at that time was 150
miles from a railroad.
The boy never was. off his father’s
ranch and saw others only at a dis
tance. When his father died Tracy
made up his mind to see modern civil
ization. His long beard and mustache
shavefl. he donned new clothes bought
from "the sale of a load of cattle. He
says he thinks he’'ll marry, take an
agricultural course in college and mod
ernize his ranch.
A CARD OF THANKS.
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. MeGill and
children, of Parrott, wish to express
their appreciation of the many thought
ful attentions and tender expressions
of sympathy from their neighbors and
friends in their recent bereavement,
the death of their sister and aunt. Also
for the many beautiful floral offerings.
God bless you every one.

MEMPHIS MAN IS GRATEFUL
FOR WIFE’'S RECOVERY FROM
SEVERE ATTACK OF PNEU
MONIA.
Among the hundreds of peovle who
have realized the powers ot Tanlac™is
the wife of Jeff Chastain, of 712 Chel
sea street, Memphis, Tenn.
“I am convinced,” said Mr. Chas
tain, “from the wonderful improve
ment Tanlac has made in my swife’s
health that there’s nothing so good
for a run down system. Last January
she had a severe attack of penumonia
and for a time no hope was held out
for her recovery. Finally the crisis
passed, however, and she was able to
sit up, but had to be lifted in and out
of bed. She had no appetite, could not
eat and just lingered on in her weak
ened condition.
“After an ordinary treatment failed
to start her up hill I bought her a bot
tle of Tanlac and the way she has
improved is astonishing. In a Yew days
she had a splendid appetite and was
up and about the house and is like an
entirely different person. It has helped
her like it had been made especially
\'for her case, and I have never seen or
‘heard of anyone getting back their
strength so rapidly. She sleeps sound
1y every night, gets up in the mornings
feeling thoroughly refreshed and rest
ed. She has also gotten rid of a very
annoying cough the penumonia left
her with and is gaining right along in
weight. I am so thankiul to see her
getting strong and well again that I
just can’t express my gratitude.”—ad.
‘ ‘6 LAI *
Word “Male” Excorated
| . .
| From the Constitution
Georgia’s Governing Laws Placed in
Harmony With Those of U. S.
That abominable word *“male” in
our constitution was excoriated Mon
day afternoon by Mrs. Mary L. Mc-
Lendon, the sister of Mrs. W. H. Fel
ton, in her speech before the house
committee on constitutional amend
ments in support of the bill to strike
the word “male” from the constitution
of (jcorgia wherever it appears as a
qualification of citizenship.
The effect of this amendment not
only would be to place the constitu
tion of Georgia in harmony with the
constitution of the United States in re
gard to woman suffrage, but also to
entitle women to hold public office
and function as citizens in all other
respects in this state.
Others who spoke for the bill were
Mrs. Felton and Mrs. J. K. Ottley.
The appearance of Mrs. Felton and
her sister, Mrs. Mcl.endon, both over
eighty, both white-haired, but both as
aiert and vigorous intellectually as any
man in the legislature, was a remark
able and impressive spectacle. These
two sisters have been crusading for
the ballot forty years or more, and at
Tast they have seen their great ob
jective gained by the onward marching
hosts of suffrage. They missed last
yvear by a narrow margin the coveted
privilege of voting in the presidential
eiection, but they can vote in all elec
tions from this time forth, and hope
and expect to live until another presi
dential election rolls around.
Passes the Senate.
The bill has since been passed by
the senate. It strikes from the code
the limitations on civil privileges of
women, but exempts them from jury,
police and road duty. According to its
provisions women may run for and
hold office in the state and are put on
a civil par with males with the excep
tion of jury service. They are made
subject to poll tax.
Whisky and Melon .
Fatal to Cairo Man
Several Others 11l After Attending
Pond Draining Exercises.
CAIRO, Ga.—Neil L. Chamberless,
56, is dead and five or six other per
sons are said to be in a serious con
dition as a result of drinking moon
shine whisky after eating watermelon.
Investigators have found that the
whisky contained potash.
Among those suffering from the ef
fects of the poison are said to be Hen
ry Bullard, Byrom Merritt, Lewis
Wells, who are said to be in a critical
condition and Ben Bentley and a
veung man named Brinkley.
Information reaching Cairo is to the
effect that a large crowd of citizens
from Mitchell and Grady counties
gathered at the Hurst mill pond four
teen miles north of Cairo, in Grady
county, near the line of Mitchell coun
ty, Friday morning, at which time the
pond was drained.
A big dinner was spread and a num
ber of watermelons were cut. It is
claimed that one of the party brought
forth a jug of moonshine whisky,
which was passed to at least half a
dozen of those present after they had
eaten the melon.
Shortly after partaking of the
melon, it is claimed, those who par
ticipated became suddenly ill
FLOOD GAVE MAN RICH
SOIL AND FINE BUNGALOW
Greatly Profited by the Recent Dis
aster in Colorado.
Not all in the path oi the recent
flood waters of the Arkansas river were
victims, according to Kenneth Woods,
ranchman, of La Junta, C 010.,, who
declared he was about $l,OOO ahead
because of the flood. The flood waters
deposited several inches of rich soil on
his large beet field and the water did
not damage the beets. Then the tricky
Arkansas washed a five-room modern
bungalow on Woods’ farm. The house
is completely furnished and Woods
has been unable to find the owner.
One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.
The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dellars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he can not be too care
ful about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
It is the same in buying Chamberlain’s
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs
but a few cents, and a bottle of it in
the house often saves a doctor's bill
of several dollars.—adv.

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 mixture 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 i§ 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 2a
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 applieations, 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.
