Sell, govern ment weather observer here, rain fall during the last - twenty-four hours ending at 8 o’clock this morn ing was 2.20 inches. This will be increased since rain has been fall ing all day. This figure is nearly half of the average rainfall for the month of January, 4.83 inches. The steady rain last night and early this morning gave Athens an ex cess rainfall of 1.88 since Janu ary 1. The government weather forecast is for continued rain. Temperatures during the same period, as reported by Mr. Sell, showed the mercury did not budge from one point, 31 degrees. Normazs temperature for the period is 43 degrees. The effects of the terrible weas ther became apparent today as local hospitals reported four pneu monia cases, two of which proved fatal. Condition of Mrs. Peter Brown at General hospital was reported improved and that of B. A. Smith, ‘Winder, prominent Barrow county farmer, at the same hospital, was reported unchanged. . Two Deaths Mrs. Bell Barrett, 74, died at her home, 115 Mitehell street, after an illness of two weeks from pneu monia. Harold G. Norman, Lin colnton, Ga., was the other pneu monia fatality. Yesterday and last night ingen jous Athenians worked out various ways to secure better footing on the icy streets, One woman had purchased the type overshoe that has a sole end ing under the instep and a narrow band around the heel. She had then had large broad head roof ing tacks pushed through the soles from inside and was merrily going her way while others were slipping all over the place., One man had taken the alpin stock from its place over the man tel and was putting it to good use in securing a grip on the ice. Shortly after the gentleman had made the rounds of the business gection, imitation alpinstocks made their. appearances, citizeng using pointed sticks, furnace -pokers, etc. Additional damage was done{ telephone lines in this section last night according to J. W. Uarrell,l head of the local telephone com pany. “I would not be surprised if there was not a great deal of damage done although I do not yet have reports from all sections”' said Mr. Jarrell this morning. I One crew was sent to the main| line between Atlanta and Athens| where considerable damage wasj caused. Several of the large cab-l les were torn down last night leaving approximately fifty tele phones out of order. Approximately 150 phones were useless during the| first part of the week but fifty| have been restored to use and the other one hundred are expected to be back in use by the last of the week.

Anxiety Expressed The movements of Ras Kassa another major Ethiopian leade) at the northern front, likewisc were undisclosed. Anxiety war expressed by . Kthiopian . eircles over g large amount of new guns and ammunition sent to Rar Kassa, who has failed to commu ricate with the government since the offensive started. As Addis Ababa awaited word from the north anxiously, the government clarified confusion over the Italian bombardment Monday of a Swedish Red Cross ambulance unit, It termed an “odious lie” an Italian charge that two Faseist. aviators whe fell at Daggah Bur were decapi tated. The government, which threugh Emperor Haile Selassie had pro tested ‘to the League of Nations that the Fascists employed pois on gas in the attack, announced in a final report of the incident near Dolo that only two Swedes were wounded and none Killed.

State Elected Governor, “Not a King" MOULTRIE, Ga. — (#) — Re newing his criticisms of Gowvernor Eugene Talmadge for operating the state governmen* without an appropriations bill, State Repres entative Milton Shirah of Colquitt county today urged the legislature to convene itself to enact such a bill, { He said Talmadge has “appro-| priated to his own use the legisla tive prerogatives” of the state, ana urged the presiding officers of the two houses of the assembly to “fix a date for the convening” of the legislature. “There is no constitutional provi gion against convening the legis lature in voluntary session, whenl an emergency exists, for it is clear that the framers of the constitution intended that the members of the general assembly should be quall fied and ready for action at any time during their term of office,"l he said. The constitution, Shirah said, specifically declares that *“no per son” discharging the Ilegislative, judicial or executive powers shall forever remain separate and dis tinct and no person discharging the duties of one shall at the same time exercise the functions of eith er of the others. 7“Mark the words ‘no person.’ They mean the governor, too.
