Clarke County Representative to
Push Bill in Legislature.
Wide Demand for It.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Representative Frank A. Lipscomb
of Clarke County will introduce early
in the forthcoming; session of the Leg
islature a bill providing for the crea
tion of a State Roard of Tax Equal
izers.
Tm necessity for such a board has
been discussed favorably by the press
of the State time and again, but so
far no serious effort has been made to
f<ame the suggestion into a workable
law.
Mr. Lipscomb has made a study of
tax conditions in Georgia, however,
and has reached the conclusion that
the only practical and equitable meth
od of increasing the revenue of the
State, without elevating the tax rate,
dwells within the creation of a tax
equalizing board.
The bill, it is understood, already
has been prepared by Mr. Lipscomb,
but before it is offered it will be
passed upon by one of the most emi
nent authorities on statutory and con
stitutional law within the State, and
such changes, if any, as he may sug
gest likely will be made in the meas
ure before it is presented.
Mr. Lipscomb is a new member of
the Legislature. He is a young man,
around 35, and has had some experi
ence 1n legislative and administrative
work on the City Council of Athens,
of which he was three times elected
a member, but his forthcoming term
in the House of Representatives will
be his first service in the broader fiell
of State politics.
He is one of Athens’ leading busi
ness men, a scion of an old and dis
tinguished Georgia family, an ex
tremely likeable sort of person, and is
sure to take a high stand In the Leg
islature from the day he Is given the
oath of a Representative.
Mr. Lipscomb has other important,
legislative proposals to submit to the
General Assembly in due course of
time, but his bill to create a Board of
Tax Equalizers will be his pet project,
and the one he is most deeply inter-
»• sted in.
There is no doubt whatever that the
bill will receive hearty and strong
support from many members of in
fluence, and the prospect of the r>i!I
becoming a law generally is looked
upon as exceedingly bright.
Former Sheriff of McDuffie County,
the Honorable “Shade” Hawes, one of
'■the leading citizens of Thomas J2.
Watson’s well-known town of Thom
son, is, and for several days has been,
a visitor in Atlanta's delighted midst.
Mr. Hawes is credited with being
one of the very shrewdest political ob
servers In the State, and moves hith
er and yon in most mysterious way
his wonders to perform. He has an
idea, however—really, it is an obses
sion—that his home town of Thomson
is possessed of more automobiles than
any other town of its size in the
world. Ifc claims that there are 55
machines in Thomson, notwithstand
ing the fact that it has been disputed
there is room enough in Thomson for
even one-half so many.
One irreverent person asked the
Sheriff if it was true that they had to
run the sewerage system in Thomson
straight up in the air to keep it in
side the corporate limits—but the
Sheriff disdained pointedly to com
ment upon that.

Darien Gazette has achieved its for

snappy to-day as when it was a mere
journalistic kiddo. .
“Old Dick” Grubb has been a labor

moons, and is g-'eneralty beloved

Representative-elect W. H. Connor,
of Spalding County, will introduce
two interesting local bills in the Gen
eral Assembly soon after tt convenes.
The first is one to provide for the
election of the Griffln City Education
Board by the people, rather than by
the Council, as has been the custom
in the pari, and the other is to amend
the charter of Griffin so that ward
primaries will be abolished and the
old plan of general elections be re
turned. . . . .
Four years ago the Legislature
. hanged the charter, at the request of
Council, providing for ward primar
ies; but the system has not proved
satisfactory to a great portion of the
voters. It is desired by citizens that a
voter be allowed to cast his ballot foi
Aldermen, regardless of which ward
he may reside In.
This local legislation in Griffin will
he interesting to many cities in Geor
gia that have operated for a good
many vears under the very same dis
advantages that Griffin is undertak
ing to get away from, and it may be
that Representative Connor’s bill will
suggest many another of a similar
port from other cities in the State.

The old Greek fashion of dressi&g,
including draped skirts and waists,
long ago was taken up by the women
of Paris and from there carried
around the globe, has now reached
the feet.
For to-day the elite of the French
women, who set the fashion for that
city of pretty and vivacious women
are wearing sandals!
The high heel shoe and the oft
painful by bent arch, has now been
“given the hook.” In their place has
been selected the old-fashioned san
dal, and it looks as if it had come
to stay.
In fact, so complete has been the
change of fashion in this respect
that several of the famous Parisian
stores, which cater particularly to
the fashionable class, have put in a
great stock of sandals.
Along the boulevards, women are
seen parading at all hours, wearing
sandals fastened to their feet by
prettily colored ribbon in a band
around their ankles.
Adherents of the new style de
clare It of great benefit to the health
of the person wearing them.
Suppleness and flexibility, modistes
argue, are the feature of women’s
dress of the present day.

came out, and several more are In

Brazil’s $55,000,000.
Brazil wants $55,000,000—$15,000,-

treasury bills. Lever Brothers are
putting out $5,000,000 new preference
shares, and Baltimore Gas $3,500,000.

Situation in London.
Lombard Street is enjoying tem
porary ease owing to end-of-the-
rnonth borrowing from the Bank of
England, but large repayments will
have to be made within the next few
days.
Further reduction in the English
bank rate is not expected immedi
ately. The Berlin rate Is hardening,
and if Boerse speculation breaks
loose again, easy money may be a re
mote possibility.
Hitherto, while the war was in

American Stocks Firmer.
Between September, 1912. and the
end of April, 1913, declines in Euro
pean stocks have generally been very
trifling, while American stocks suf
fered heavy declines.
From this it is reasoned that Amer
ican securities offer a better field for
a bull campaign.

WASHINGTON. May 9.—When
Charles Nagel, of St. Louis, was Sec

coal-black horses was provided for
i his use by the Government. These
horses, now old, are to be auctioned.
“I have a small farm,” he said, “and
I hope to be able to bid high enough
; to secure this pair and pension them
for life.”
m TEH BEAUTIFULLY DARKENS
E
Mixed With Sulphur Makes
Hair Soft, Lustrous and
Cures Dandruff.
The use of Sage anil Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mother's time. She kept her hair
beautifully darkened, glossy and
abundant with a brew of Sage Tea
and Sulphur. Whenever her hair
fell out or took on that dull,-, faded
. or streaked appearance this simple
mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays skilled
chemists do this better than our
selves. By asking at any drug store
for the ready-to-use product—called
“Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy”—you will get a large bot
tle for about 50 cents. Some drug
gists make their own, which is usu
ally too sticky, so Insist upon get
ting “Wyeth’s,” which can be de
pended upon to restore natural col
or and beauty to the hair, and Is
splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish,
itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says his customers insist on Wy
eth’s Sage and Sjulphur because,
they say. it darkens so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been apnlied—it’s so easy to
use. too. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush and draw it
through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. Do this at night
and by morning the gray hair,dis

or two it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and
abundant. Elkin Drug Co., special

Why is the soda cracker today
