COMB SAGE IEA IN
HAIR TODABKEN IN
Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark.
Glossy. Thick with a Mixture of .
8age Tea and Sulphur
The old time mixture of sage tea'
and ' Sulphur for darkening gray
streaked an^aded hair is gratrdmotb
ct'tk treatment, and folks are again
tining it to keep their hair s good,
even color, which ls ' quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance ie of the great
est advantage.
? Nowadays, though, we don't have
tho sage and the mussy mixing at
heme. All drug stores'sell the rca
dy-to-use product called "Wyetlra
'Sage and Sulphur Hatr Remedy" for
about .50, .cents a bottle. It ia very,
popular because nobody can' discov
er it ha? ?c^n^'spSy?cd, C?mp?y mole
ton your comb o? ? soft bruah' 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 Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur ia that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
niter tv few applications, it also r re
duces that soft; lustre and appearance
of abundance ?walch is so attractive ;
besides, prevents dandruff, itching
scalp and f?llig hair. * '**: *'* ' '

Two weeks ego lu the account siren ?
to the public of the first meeting of j
the Board of .Education, the an
nouncement wea nude that the
Greenville Female College waa autk-j
orixsd to continuo ii, efforts to se-]
cure funds to met its present needs.!
As this action somewhat modifies the'
Bennettevllle understanding it is ad-:
v|aa(ble that the brotherhood at large
i. be iuiiy apprised of the facta which
led the Board to ita leger conclu
sions. It ls the purpose of this ar
ticle .to give these facta. ,' .???.
I make this statement ot tba Ye-j
qticet and in the name of thc exoutlv?''
committee of the board, of eduoatloft1
as it could in the further prosecution1
of thia work. We feel that the Beet;
assistance we can give is to" place
.plainly before our people'the consid
erations which caused the Board to
vote unanimously and heartly for the
continuance of this effort They will j
mean, we trust, as much, to the great 1
body of our people who have the .in- ?
te rest ot our educational work ?ti
heart aa they did to tbs Board of i
Education.
The demand that the G. F. C. have
have further time in walch to secure
funds arose, not from th oso connected
with the college, but from member*
of the Furman Board, which Board
had been given the right, of way ia1
the- state for 1914. The necessity of
the "0. F. C'JB situation waa no ur
gent that the oxeoutive eommitttee'
'M both of the Greenville Institutions
Joined in the petition to the Board of
Education to continue . this canvass
for funda. I
The facta referred to above ara'
these: The G. F. C. in making her
necessary and extensive txnprove
mente wa* compelled in her expendi
tures to go beyond the money that
was secured by the sale of honda au- j
thorized Laurens Convention. These
honda realized for the institution the
i sum of 115.000; This amount proved
to be Inadequate. It became nacea
|i^a^.jb>..oyder toget the bon oil ts of
jth*. in^iprovemonts .made by the use'
of this |76:00O, to ifeake other and
very extensive additions. It also be
came necessary to purchase what ls
knpwn .aa,the Orr property. So far as
I know every one, who has looked
into the wisdom of the expenditures
that were-jover and olbove the $75,000.
Tho- results nacre.-been so satisfoclory
that th arre ia not n?uch room for dif
ference of opinion on this point. Tho

officials of the institutions.
The O. F. C. has therefore two
kinds of debts, the bein ed debt and
! this other to the banks, which muy jj
, be called its floating dVbt. (The in- |
stifcuUon owes no money fox running
expenses. Rather its current la?
mme ha? ru>ln<*1 h*n<tarvraelv nn lt*
improvement debts.>* Now, as every!I
one caa see, R ls the floating debt J
thal constitutes the Immediate dan
ger point, and that it is a danger j
ptoinc, a blind man can see. The j
? bonded debt runs for ten years .and
1n?thlng but the interest can be called
for provided the interest-le -paid.
But the floatiag debt ls not thus pro
: vMed for, nor can R be! Within tl-.is
, year it Is practically all due and
I hence both principal end interest con
j be called for. The banks that are
carrying this debt hare been unusual
I ly kind: but they are banks and not
? benevolent organizations. Their kii d
; ness has very definite limits which
, can cot disregard.
The campaign of Dr. Chapman hs?
I resulted In about $00,000 in notes and
; cash. Thc omcunt of cash received
above the expenses of the campaign
was, at the beginning pf this y esr,
? about $7,500. It nan be seen frcs>
