B—Motion Picture Censorship.
We realise the importance of a law
providing for the Censorship of moving
picture lilms to be shown in Georgia,
with a view to the protection of the
minds and hearts of our people from
impure suggestions which we deem
equally important us the protection of
their bodies from unclean milk or un
jpgund food.
We were gratified ut the favorable
action upon tins measure by both the
Senate and House Committees of the
General Assembly .
We regret that this measure did not
come to a vote ou the floor of either

educational campaign with the view to
the passage of a law to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of cigarettes and

violate this law punished.

ESCAPED CUSTER FIGHT WITH
FOUR WOUNDS; KILLED BY AUTO
Toledo. —Frank Fleck, believed to
have been the last survivor of Custer's
hand of Indian fighters, was killed by
an automobile on u> suburban road
near here.
Fleck, a ship carpenter by trade, had
made his residence in Toledo many
years.
When Custer's troops were mustered
to pursue Indian renegrudes Fleck was
attached to Reno's division. He suffer
ed four bullet wounds in the battle
of the Little Big Horn, and escaped
with Reno's troops, who had become
separated from Custer.
Fleck was one of the seventeen who
enlisted from Toledo in the regular
army in 1867. He was assigned to
the Seventh calvary, which was sent
against the Sioux Indians under Sit
ting Bull.

in the public school and every other
person who lias the welfare of • the
young men and women at heart in this

garette advertisements to write an

interest of an efficient citizenry.

We will give hearty support to the
Newberry-Randall Bill, No. 2453, to

Since women have become enfran

Amendment to the Constitution, w
believe women should register at once

later, as becomes worthy citizens.

GEORGIA LEADS
ALL STATES
With coal at $15.00 a ton, the joke is ghastly.
Did the Power Companies perpetrate it upon
the Census Bureau.
We have in Georgia SO more municipal dec
trie light and power plants than priv ite plants.
This excess of public over private plants is
greater than in any other State.
In spite of hampering laws, over 100 Georgia
municipalities operate their own plants in the
effort to supply light and power to the people.
In accounting for this the Bureau of Census
says:
“In Georgia it is customary to use waste prod
ucts from the lumber mills, which make a very
inexpensive fuel.”
Remarkable statement!
Do you know of one municipal plant using
“waste” from lumber mills to make steam to
generate electricity?
On the contrary, you know —
Many of these municipal plants have been al
most put out of business by coal at sls a ton.
The great majority have to buy fuel to operate
their plants—
Although, at their doors, the equivalent of
21,528,500 tons of coal is being annualy thrown
away iu our uudeveloepd water powers.
The Water Power Bills advocated by the Mu
nicipal League would bring relief to the villages,
towns and cities of Georgia.
The “waste” from lumber mills is not enough.

RUNS OF ANCIENT CITY
PLOWED UP BY ROAD SCRAPE
The Dallies.—What may prove the
greatest archeological discovery ever
made in the Northwest was partly
uncovered by scrapers of the road
crews working on the Columbia River
Highway two miles east of Rig Eddy,
and about six miles from The Dallies.
Scores of graves and skeletons were
found, together with ruins of buildings,
body ornaments, cooking implements
and many other r lies of a civilization
that is believed to have preceded the
Indians, according to news reaching
here.
Celilo Indians, richest in lore and
traditions of any of the Indians living
in the vicinity of The Dallies, knew
nothing about the existence of the
burial ground and are unable to read
any of the numerous heliographs on
the relics
The discovery was made as scrap
ers plowed through what is apparently
a mixture of red sand and wood ash.
There is nothing to indicate that the
settlement was overwhelmed with a
volcanic disaster, but it appears that
the skeletons are those of victims of
a fire.
The skeletons found were so old
they srumbled to dust upon being
touched. Near the bodies were found
ornaments of pure copper, beaten out
with hammers. There is no copper
around The Dallies and the Celilo In
dians believe it was; brought down
the river from Idaho. Beautifully deco
rated vases, many stone hammers and
stone mortars and pestiles are being
uncovered.
When all other means of evading
the law have failed, booze runners
might adopt the expediency of kidnap
ping the prosecuting attorneys.
For a Disordered Stomach.
When the stomach fails to perforin
its functions the bowels become de
ranged, tlie liver and kidneys congest
ed. The important thing is to restore
the stomach and liver to a healthy
condition and for this purpose Cham
berlain's Tablets are excellent. Give
them a trial. They only cost a quarter.
