CALLAGHANITES SCAR E D
As Result of Heavy’Registra
tion They are Making Ef
forts to Overcome Lead,
Still, the new voters keep com
ing into the tax office to qualify
to vote, coming from every pre
cinct and corner of the town. The
Callaghan heelers who said the to
tal qualification would not be as
large as It was last year have quit
talking. So have the other men
who declared the total registra
tion this year couldn’t possibly
exceed 10.000.
Apparently there is no end to It.
Where all the voters have kept them
selves in former years is what puz
zles the wise ones. The time-honored
adage that no one wants to vote in
San Antonio but Mexicans will have
to be sponged off the slate.
In guessing on the final number of
qualified voters by the end of January,
when the registration closes, it is well
to take into consideration that the
rush always comes at the end of the
month. It is the last dash to get
in under the wire that counts. In the
month of January last year, for ex
ample. 8839 voters were qualified at
the county collector’s office. Of
these 7216 got their poll tax receipts
or exemption certificates after the
twelfth of January.
So far in January this year the
Qualification has exceeded that of last
January by 82 per cent, as is shown
by an accompanying table. If the
same gain should continue through the
month of January coalification this
year would reach 15 910. To got the
total, in that event, the 5958 Qualified
thta year prior to the first rf Jan
uary is to be added, making the final
figure 21,898. The total last year in
the 4 2 precincts of San Antonio was
10.619.
Will Not Risk Prison.
But no one thinks so large a figure,
or one nearly as large as 21.898. will
tr reached. For various reasons there
will be a falling qff. A close canvas
is to be made of the qualifications and
this fact will deter illegal registra
tions. The man who might be induc
ed to qualify twice under different
names will consider the excellent
chance of getting into state’s prison and
this will lead him to hesitate. Last
year the Terrell election law was de
fied and peripatetic deputies were sept
out to walk around town and issue
poll tax receipts on the street corners.
These outside receipts counted in the
total the last day. January 31. This
year there will I>e no "ain from this
source.
Perhaps there may be smaller num
ber of exemption certificates issued
this January than January last year
S.S.S.
PURELY VEGETABLE
THE ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY
It is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the dedicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed of j
strong mineral mixtures. ' Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., a blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri
fiers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. It is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
i and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
I other inherited blood troubles, can
| take this mild vegetable remedy with
i good results and without the slightest
! danger. S. S. S. is unequalled as a
| tonic; it invigorates every portion of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
) any derangement of the stomach
I and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. It has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to all who write.

Men at the Head of Albemarle
Development Co. Charged
With Misuse of Mails.
Associated Press.
Jackson. Miss., Jan. 13.—Charged
with having misused the malls In
connection with promoting a summer
resort at Albermarle, S. C., J. C. Mas
ters and Thos. H. Sibley, alleged to be
promoters ot the Albermarle Develop
ment company, were taken In custody
and detained in default of $lOOO bail
last night, after a hearing before
Lnited States Commissioner L. B
Mosely. The arrests were made at the
instance of postoffice inspectors sta
tioned in North Carolina.
It is said today that fourteen states
have been worked in connection with
the Albermarle Development company
and the additional assertion is made
that a similar development scheme
was worked near Mineral Wells, Tex
as. about six years ago.
Other arrests in three or more
states are expected to follow’.
Sibley has been in this state for
several months and is said to have
sold several thousand dollars worth
of stock in the Albemarle concern
within the past few weeks. Masters,
who is the secretary of the concern,
had just arrived here for a confer
ence with Sibley when the arrests
were made. Both were remanded to
jail in default of $lOOO bond each.
The business of the Albemarle De
velopment company extended through
twelve or more states. The amount
collected from each investor ranged
from $l2 to $4B. The hundreds of
persons Interested Include bankers,
ministers and merchants in almost
every shtall town in Georgia. Busi
ness was done also in South Carolina,
Alabama, North Carolina, Florida,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Vir
ginia, Kentucky and West Virginia.
The company was organized about
two years ago with offices at Albe
marle, N. C. The promoters secured
control of a tract of land near Albe
marle for the ostensible purpose ot
developing a health and pleasure re
sort. The plans were pretentious and
contemplated the expenditure of large
sums of money in the erection of
buildings and in beautifying the
grounds.
Certificates which entitled the pur
chaser to participation in a drawing
of the company’s lots were sold for
$l2 each. Nothing was contained In
these certificates as to the date of the
drawing. The name of Walter C. Ir
vin. whose home is said to be at Sa
lem. Ills., appears as president of the
concern. He is said to'have had very
little connection with it within the
last year.
Masters and Sibley, who are said to
be the real promoters of the com
pany, are alleged to have operated a
similar scheme near Mineral Wells,
Texas, about five years ago. In the
prospectus of the Albemarle Devel
opment company the same photo
graphs that were employed in promot
ing the Texas concern are used, ac
cording to information furnished the
government.
These are issued free of charge and
it would seem that every year the
men entitled to vote without cost to
them wouid at least take the trouble
to walk around to the county tax of
fice and get one of the papers. The
total of these certificates Issued in
the four months’ registration to ex
empt voters In the 42 precincts of the
city of San Antonio was 1984. This
number ha“ been passed already this
y?ar. with the best weeks of the reg
istration still ahead. The total of ex
emption certificates up to and includ
ing yesterday is 2046.
Maelunc Working Hani.
With] these facts in mind the total
qualification this vpar is a good thing
to bet on—it will likely be somewhere
between 15.000 and 18.000. However,
your vote Is needed and don't over
look this! The Callaghan supporters
look upon the bigger figures as all the
more reason why they should qualify
every possible voter.

of the poll taxes paid at the county
collector’s office each day In January

HOW TO DESTROY
THE DANDRUFF GERM
BY A SPECIALIST.
That the dandruff germ is responsible for
nearly all the diseases to which the scalp is
heir, as well as for baldness and premature
gray hair, is a well known fact, but when
we realize that it is also indirectly respon
sible for many of the worst cases of catarrh
and consumption, we appreciate the import
ance of any agent that will destroy its power.
We are, therefore, particularly pleased to
give herewith the prescription which an emi
nvr.t scientist states he has found, after re
peated tests, to completely destroy the dan
druff eerm in from one to three applications.
It will also almost immediately stop falling
hair and ’t has in numerous cases produced
a new hair-growth after years of baldness.
This prescription can be made up at home,
or any druggist will put it up for you: 6
ounces Bay Rum, 2 ounces Lavona de Con
posec, one-half drachm Menthol Crystals. Mix
thoroughly, and after standing half an hour
it is ready for use. Apply night and morning,
rubbing into the scalp with the finger tips.
If you wish it perfumed, add half a teaspoon
ful of To-Kalon Perfume, which unites per
fectly with the other ingredients. While this
preparation is not a dye, it is unequalled for
restoring gray hair to its original color.
CAUTIOX: Do not apply where hair it not
desired and be sure to avoid tonics contain
ing poisonous wood alcohol.
Before publication we presented this pre
scription to H. L. Wagner of thia city, and
ho states that he has filled it many times
for his patrons who report most astonishing
results from its use.
That’s Right!

questions the constitutionality of the
