HOW THE TERRELL COUNTY
BOARD MAY BE REDUCED
IF PEOPLE DESIRE IT.
A bill providing a uniform method
oi creating boards of county commis
sioners in all counties not having
boards at the present time, and of
abolishing boards in counties which
have them, has been approved by the
senate committee on county and coun
ty matters.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Ellis, of Tifton, and has attracted wide
spread attention among members of
the house and senate.
Provisions of Bill.
It provides that counties not having
boards of commissioners or a com
missioner, at the present time, may
create the same by a vote of the peo
ple without an act of the legislature.
One-third of the voters by petition in
writing addressed to the ordinary
would call an election to decide the
question. In that election, which could
not be held in an election year, the
voters would vote for or against a
board of commissioners or commis
sioner, and would signify on their bal
lots whether they ?avored one com
missioner or a board of three or five.
In the event a majority of those vot
ing should decide in favor of a com
missioner or a board of commissioners,;
the same would take effect and the
commissioner or commissioners would
be elected in the next ensuing general
election.
Where a county has a commissioner
or commissioners one-third of the vot
ers by similar petition could initiate
an election to determine whether the
board should be reduced from five to
three, or from three to one, or from
five to one, or whether the board or
the commissioner should be abolished.
The decision of a majority would de
termine the question.
County Manager Plan.
In addition to the above, the bill
provides for the office of county super
visor in every county now having a
commissioner or board of commission
ers, or which may hereafter create the
same. The county supervisor would be
in effect the general manager of the
business affairs of the county, with full
authority to “hire and fire” the county
employes in all departments.
In counties having one commissioner
the commissioner would be the coun
ty supervisor. The purpose of creating
the position of county supervisor, ex
plained Senator Ellis, is to bring about
increased efficiency in the business af
fairs of the counties.
HIDES OF 750,000 OXEN

MANCHESTER, Eng.—To build
an airship of the R-33 type by the old
method of construction required no
fewer than 825,000 gold-beaters’ skins
for the gas bags, remarks The Man
chester Guardian, which nccessitatcd‘
the slaughter of about 750,000 oxen. |
Then came about an invention by |
which the number of skins necessary

Shallow Well Water tor Domestic Use
Practically all the farms in Georgia
are supplied with water from shallow
wells. This class of water is very lia
ble to serious contamination from sew
erage and refuse animal matter, since
the wells are almost always located in
ithe vicinity of dwellings.
. Absolutely pure water is never
found in nature, impurities in natural
‘water being derived from solid, liquid
and gaseous material with which it
comes in contact. The composition of
‘well water varies within very wide lim
iits even when the waters are derived
from the same geological formation,
due to the fact that the water perco
lates ground which is saturated to a
greater or less extent with animal and
vegetable matter. Soils have consid
erable exidising power for this organic
matter and it generally happens that it
is entirely destroyed before reaching
the well. A lot of nitrates or ammonia
in well water is evidence that the water
has previously been in contact with
organice matter.
A chemical analysis of water, to
gether with a bacteriological examina
tion, will determine whether it is suit
able for domestic use or drinking pur-
AT LEAST J. A. WHITE WOULD
BET SO, AFTER BEING RE
LIEVED OF DYSPEPSIA BY
TANLAC.
“My wife and myself have had stom
ach trouble,” says Mr. J. A. White,
residing on the Leestown Pike, R. F.
D. No. 6, near Lexington, Ky., “and
have both been nervous and run
down.”
“We could not see anything without
suffering afterwlards and could not
sleep at night. We were regular ner
vous dyspeptics. We tried many reme
dies without permanent benefit until
we heard of Tanlac. I got this medi
cine and began using it. We noticed
immediate results. We are both greatly
improved by Tanlac. We give all cred
it for the change of health to Tanlac.
It is a remarkable medicine.
“I personally feel so good that 1 told
my hands a day or two ago that I
could beat any of them shucking corn.‘
I meant it and believe I could have
beat ’em all.
- Of all the maladies that afflict hu
manity chronic dyspepsia, such as Mr.
and Mrs. White suffered from, is prob
ably the most prevalent and hours
might be consumed in describing the!
sufferings, mental and bodily, of the|
victims of chronic dyspepsia. ‘
A morbid, unreal, whimsical and!
melancholy condition of the mind,'
aside from the nervous physical suffer
ing, is the usual state &f the average
dyspeptic and life seems scarcely
worth the living.
Tanlac, the celebrated medicine, was
designed especially for overcoming this
distressing condition and millions of
people have taken it with the most as
tonishing and gratifying results. It
seems to go straight to the spot, ton
ing up and invigorating every organ
of the body.—adv.
Living Costs off T'wenty-
One Per Cent in Year
$1.61 Now Buys What You Could
Get for a Dollar in 1914,
NEW ~ YORK, N. Y.—Clothing
with an average increase in price of
nine-tenths of 1 per cent, was the only
necessity that went up during the
‘month of June, according to statistics
covering the entire United States, made
ipublic today by the national industrial
conference board.
l Food was the only item that went
[down. the decrease being figured at
[three-tenths of 1 per cent. All other
items remained stationary. The de
lcrease in the average cost of a typical
| wage ecarner’s family for the month
was figured at two-tenths of 1 per cent.
l The statistics showed the decrease of
living costs during the year ending
IJuly 1 amounted to 21 per cent. Count
ling the reductions up to July 1, how
ever, living costs will show a net de
crease of 61 per cent over those of
July 1, 1914,
Simply stated, the latter fact remains
that whatever you can buy for $1.61
today you could have had for an even
dollar in 1914, or unless your income
equals now 1.61 for every dollar earn
ed in 1914 you are not even with the
board. Mars has “stung” you.

poses. The bacteriological examina
tion is important where there has been
sickness in a community and especial
ly where typhoid exists, as this bacillus
easily gains access to water supplies.
In purifying water on a smaili scale
for drinking purposes filtration through
animal charcoal removes the greater
’part of the injurious substances, but
such filters soon become a source of
infection after use. Sterilizing water
by boiling is not as quickly accom
plished as .some people imagine. Boil
ing water for half an hour destroys
about 99 per cent of all bacterial life,
and the remainder is harmless.
“Hard” waters contain mineral mat
‘ter, and the hardness is “temporary”
or “permanent,” according to the na
ture of the animal matter. When the
water contains carbonate of lime or
magnesia it may be softened by boil
ing, this is called temporary hardness.
When mineral sulphates, chlorides,
etc., are present the water is “perma
nently” hard. More soap has to be
used with hard waters to produce a
lather, and more time is necessary for
cooking vegetables when ‘“hard” water
is used. F. H. SMITH, Chemist,

OF LIFE IN 10-FT. ROOM
FIRST WHITE MAN TO BE
HELD CAPTIVE BY BROWN
. MEN FELT HORRORS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal—Henry
von Reidelstein, who tells the following
vivid personal story of experiences
which befell the “first white soldiers
ever held captive by the brown,” is
a distinguished Hungarian artist and
was lieutenant of the German forces at
Tsingtau, China, when captured dur
ing the world war. Together with §,-
000 fellow captives he was held five
years in Japanese military prison
camps.
i By Henry Von Reidelstein.
‘ I can but suggest rather than re
veal the whole story of my imprison
ment in a Japanese war camp, in these
brief sentences.
There was some sickness, much
drinking in the camp, and eighteen
suicides among thq 1,000 men crowded
together, with an exercise ground no
larger than four tennis courts. For five
years we stayed there, not permitted |
to leave the camp, surrounded by poor
sanitation and lacking both employ
ment for hand and mind and exercise
for our bodies. |
Hated Each Other.
For five years I slept and ate in a
room ten feet square with eight others.
We were happy at first in the ex
pectation of a German triumph! |
But the months grew, and how we
hated each other! Indifference, then
despair, and then hatred.“ The only re
lief came when death took three of the
men in our room and we had new per
sons to get acquainted with, then
quarrel with, and to hate bitterly.
Knowing no Japanese, we could not
even talk with them on the outside.
1 must say in behalf of the natives
on the prison island that they were!
kindly, and many offered to become
bondsmen for release of captives froin
close confinement, but everywhere
Japan’s stern military rule re.‘s‘isted‘
amelioration. |
We appealed for labor and pleasant
tasks. They were refused. We asked
to be allowed to leave the camp for
walks in the fields. We were told that
the natives objected to our treading'
their rice fields. Our money, what lit
tle we had, was taken from us when
liquor was served to the men, scores
of whom with nothing to do spent
their all for alcohol and forgetfulness,
only to pay a greater price in sickness
and death.
The Japanese guards told us that
this was the first time Japanese ever
had white men for prisoners and they
had instructions to allow us no liber
ties.
The natives organized excursions to
come out and look at us—the Mikado’s
prisoners. ,
Mean, Petty Tricks.
The militaryism of the army was re
flected not in great ways but in mean,
petty tricks that annoyed and made
men desperate. Little plants and vines
we had planted were torn up; little
drawings and toys destroyed with im
placable calmness.
For a year I have been slowly re-
Igaining my strength in Japan, where,
after my release, the Japanese people
lwere very kind. I cannot blame the
i people.
Female Impersonator
Mulcts Rich Matrons
Gets Orders for Corsets; Takes to
Heels With the Deposits.
HUNTINGTON, W. Va.—Several
of Huntington’s exclusive society wo
men have been taken in by an un
identified person of male persuasion
masquerading as a woman, who posed
as a corsetier dealing only in custom
made stays of the most exclusive kind
and the highest quality.
The pseudo corsetier came to this
city a month ago and lived here for
almost two weeks. During that time
“she” obtained entree into the most
exclusive circles because of her win
ning personality and the exquisite line
of corsets she had with her as samples
of what all might expect if they gave
their order and paid down half the
price. ?
1 The corsetier was kept busy. “Her”
visits included only the most exclusive
‘homes, where she measured customers
and collected a deposit,
' ‘How much society matrons of Hun
itington were mulcted out of no one
can say, as nearly all of those victim
ized will not talk.
When' the corsets were not delivered
within two weeks, as promised, an in
vestigation was begun, which disclosed
the corsetier to have been a man.

THE DAWSON NEWS
’ALBANY MAYOR INDICATES
FIGHT WILL SOON BEGIN
IN GEORGIA.
ALBANY, Ga—Georgia cities soon
may band themselves together in a
fight for lower telephone rates under
the leadership of the Municipal League
of Georgia, according to Mayor H. A.
Peacock, of Albanv. who scored the
Southern Bell Telephone Company be
fore a meeting of the city council here
Tuesday night. Mayor Peacock stated
the Municipal [eague had taken no
action on the matter, but that expres
sions be heard at the recent meeting
in Atlanta from representatives of
many municipalities convinced him
that sentiment is ripe for such action.
' Mayor Peacock asserted that the
rate increase recently allowed the tele
phone company by the railroad com
mission was an unwarranted tax laid
’on the home and industry of the state
to swell the income of a corporation
}whose profits are concealed through
expenditures made with other corpo
ir?]t_ions of practically the same ownere
ship.
~ Failure of the telephone company
to erect a $200,000 building in Albany,
as it promised to do two years ago,
also was scored by the mayor, who
said Albany practically was bribed off
from opposing the rate increase
through this promise. He said he had
just learned on good authority that
the phone company had leased its
present quarters for another five years
and expressed doubt if the building
ever would be erected.
The people in Georgia have raised
$10,000,000 worth of peaches and wat
ermelons. This doesn’t look much as
if they would starve or die of pellagra.
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
bady 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 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 darhpen 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 tollet 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.
Our ginnery has been thoroughly over

WOMEN URGED TO SMOKE
PIPES LIKE FRENCH LADIES
One Suitable for Their Use Has Been
Put on the Market.
LONDON.—That the time has
come when women should take up
pipe smoking was the revolutionary
suggestion of Alfred Dunhill in a pa
per read at the Tobacco Exhibition in
London, according to the London
Morning Post.
Mr. Dunhill said that, catching up
to the times, or being perhaps a little
ahead of them, he had ventured to put
on the market a pipe suitable for the
use of ladies. He claimed that it was
not at all a new idea. The ladies of
the Court of Louis XIV were regular
pipe smokers, though not in the pres
ence of the king. i
We are proud of the confidence
doctors, druggists and the public
have in 666 Chill and Fever Tonic.
