If your hair is too dry, brittle, dull, thin, or if the scalp burns and itch es, immediately begin the use of Pa risian Sage. The first application re moves the dandruff, cools and invig orates the scalp, and increases the beauty' of the hair by making it soft wavy-abundant. Parisian Sage supplies hair needs. It is delicately perfumed-not sticky or greasy. Surely try a 50c bottle. Laurens Drug Co., Laurens, S. C. Suggests Mr. Culbertson.

The Newberry Obesrver and the Newberry Herald and News agree on advising against spelling Christmas Xmas.-Newberry Herald & News. One Thomas -i. Pe'ples was elect ed last year as attorney general of the state of South 'Carolina, as we thought, to represent the people of the state; but, his conduct raises the question as to whomi he does really represent. An explanation from him is in order. Very recently lhe has declined to represent the state in dis barient proceedings in the supreme court against a certain lawyer, for which he gives very childish excuses. l like manner, he declined to repre sent the comptroller' general in a suit against the state, in which the said comptroller general is defendant, as the agent of the state. Such things read queer down this way, and the people want to know If lur. Peeples represents the state or not."--Edge field Chronicle. VERY UNFORTUN ATE. Mr. George L. Pitts has resigned as superintendent of education of Laurens county. Publicly he has given no reasons for his action. Pri vately he is said to have stated that he resigned because he could not live on the very small salary the office pays. The office, we understand, pays only $700 a year, a fact which is not very creditable to Laurens county. When Congressman Frank Lever sp1ok1e in Green'ille some time back lie touched upon the steady ..drift of people from' the country to the cities and towns. This, he declared to be one of the alarming signs of the times for, as ho said, the prosperity of the nation depends upon :the pros perity of our country people. With tile best farmers going to the cities and towns a period of stagnation will sooner or later come. MIr. Lever, in his address.- stated that le did not 1)1a10 the country peo ple for leaving the farm and going to the city so long as conditions remaIn ed as they are now. lie referred to the splend'icd schools in the city, where the farmer's sons and daugh ters could have every advantage, if their father moved to town. in the citie; only the very hest teachers are hired for sulperintenbdent s of tihe work. "I low al'out the counties?" he asked. ''l'e average sujpei'lntendent of a ci ty school gets not less than $1,000. The superintendent of county educa tion usually gets from $700 to $900 and his work is far greater than the superintendent of the city schools. 'T'he school problem was only one of several mentioned by Mr. Lever in his address but it was one of the most important and his rema rks were so applicable in this conrection that we desired to review them. 'i'ho people of Laurens county ought to raise the salary of their counity supierinitend~ent of edullcationi. .r. P'itts lhas, we undi~erstand, aimde ai verIy ellicienit official.
