STREET LIGHTING
DISPUTE GOES UP
Company And City Un
able To Agree On
Rate For 1921
City council and representatives
of the Americus Lighting Company
having definitely disagreed as to
a just charge for lighting Americus’
streets, it is probable the matter will
be referred by the company to the
Railroad Commission of Georgia for
■ final adjudication.
At the beginning of the current
year the Lighting company proposed
to council that a raise approximating
60 per cent be granted in the price
paid for street lighting current, which
council promptly refused to enter
tain. The matter was then referred
to the streets and lights committee,
of which Mayor Pro Tern. H. B.
Mashburn is chairman, with power
to act. This committee has since
met in a number of conferences with
representatives of the Lighting com
pany in an effort to effect a settle
ment of the existing differences, but
without results.
It is authoritatively stated that the
Lighting company, having first de
manded a 60 per cent increase, sub
sequently offered a compromise pro
viding a raise of 48 per cent in rates,
and at the last conference with the
committee offered to accept an in
crease of a little more than thirty
per cent. All of these propositions

BUT HER CHILD-

Six Months of Care and Worry
Were Too Much For Her
GOT THIN, NERVOUS, TIRED
Her Brother-in-Law, a Doctor,
Said She Was Anemic, and
Advised Her To Try
Pepto-Mangan
Here is a s‘ory of a strong, vigor
ous mother who never knew what ill
health was. But three years ago her
two little boys got into the habit of
being sick.
Six months of care and worry were
too much for her and brought to light
the fact, that, with all her appar-!
ent vigor, she really was anemic. She
lost flesh, couldn’t sleep well and
nervous.
Then the doctor (her brother-in
law) prescribed Pepto-Mangan.
She said: “Fred explained a lot
about the special sort of iron-content
in PeptoMangan, and a lot of other
things that I don’t understand, but
what I do understand is that a bot
tle of Pepto-Mangan is always going
to be in my medicine closet as long
as I live. Whatever it contains, I
don’t know or care, but I do know
that it builds me up when I get run
down, and that’s enough for me.”
Gude’s Pepto-Mangan is an abso
lutely dependable red-blood builder
in all conditions of lowered vitality
not due to serious disease of the vi
tal organs. It improves the appetite, ,
imparts color to the cheeks, and
creates new hope and ambition in
those who have become pale, weak,
and listless. Physicians recommend
Gude’s Pepto-Mangan. When you
order, be sure the word “Gude’s” is
on the package. Without “Gude’s” it
is not Pepto-Mangan. Furnished in
both liquid and tablet form. For
sale by all druggists. adv

-ANOTHER HOLD UP-
have been definitely declined by the
committee, and it now appears cer
tain that the services of the Rail
road commirion will be invoked in
settling the dispute, the city being
unwilling to agree to any increase at
all inthe face of declining costs of
both coal and labor, the principle
items of cost in manufacturing elec
tricity, and the Lighting company
I persisting in the contention that an
increase in rates is warranted under
existing conditions.
It has been agreed between the
parties to the dispute that whatever
rate may be finally agreed upon shall
be retroactive to January 1, 1921,
when the old contract between the
city and the company expired.

BAD TAKE SALTS
Bays Backache is a sign yon have been
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.
When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the k.'dney region it gen
erally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
pet sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
I is coated, and when the weather is bad
! you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
; is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
! get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
I to seek relief two or three times during
i the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
I cian at once or get from your pharmacist
' about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
’ and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
{ weakness.
j > Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
I meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithia-water drink.
iSULPHURCLEARS
ROUGHJED SKIN
Rwea, Neck and Arms Easily Made
Smooth, Says Specialist
Any breaking out of the skin, ever,
fiery, itching eczema, can be quicklt
overcome by applying a little Mentho-
Sulphur, declares a noted skin special
Ist Because of its germ destroying
properties, this sulphur preparation
begins at once to soothe irritated skin
and heal eruptions such as rash, pim
ples and ring worm.
It never fails to remove the torment
and disfigurement, and you do not have
to wait for relief from embarrassment
Improvement quickly shows. Sufferers
from skin trouble should obtain a
small jar of Mentho-Sulphur from
any good druggist and use it like cold
cream.
Williams District
Asks To Be Divided
The Board of Education of Sum
ter County met Tuesday at the court
house and received a petition from
a number of patrons of William* dis
trict, asking that the district be
divided, a portion of the territory
being assigned to Lee county, and
children therein attending Smith
vlile High school, and the remain
ing ones attending Lysson or
Thompson school. The petition was
presented by Hixon & Pace, attor
neys for those interested in having
the district divided, and under the
rules of the board went over for la
ter consideration. The only other
business transacted was the • fixing
of the salary of County School Sup
erintendent E. W. Dupree, this be
ing placed at $1,200 per annum.
General Allenby used 8,000 don
keys to carry baskets of stones in
building roads along the front from
Jaffa to Jericho.
Camels have a fasting season in
winter during which many of the
