WOULD ABOLISH
GA. RAIL BOARD
DeKalb Representatives
To Propose New Plan
In Legislature
ATLANTA, Feb. 17.—Abolition
of the state railroad commission of|
five members elected by the people,!
and the institution of a public utili-*
ties commission, composed of three!
members appointed by the governor, 1 '
will be the provisions of a bill to be!
introduced in the Georgia legislature!
at its forthcoming session in June, by'
Attorneys Ralph McClelland and Carl
N. Guess, representatives from De-!
Kalb county.
This information was contained in!
a statement given out by Mr. Mc-
Clelland.
Mr. McClelland says that the rail
road commission has outlived its use
fulness, and should be replaced by a
different kind of body.
He said that he and Mr. Guess are
now working on the text of the bill
which they will introduce, and this
bill will be completed within the next!
few days. It will be introduced
early in the session of the legislature
and attempts made to push it to a!
rapid passage, he said.
The decision on the part of the De-I
Kalb representatives comes from!
their feeling of disappointment at !
the action of the state railroad com
mission in increasing the rates of
the Atlanta Gas Light company from
$1.45 to $1.90 per 1,000 cubic feet.*
Mr. Guess said:
“Matters cannot be made worse,
and there is the probability that a!
great improvement will be effected
by making the change. The time has
come for this change. The people are 1
clamoring for it, and we will ask the 1
legislature to back us in the move.’”

Body Preserved Over
Fifty Years In Rum
TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Feb. 14.
The olden days when rum was consid
ered the very perfection of embalm
ing fluid were brought forcibly to
mind here recently with the falling
into decay of the vault of mauso
lem of Charles R. Patterson and his
wife.
Patterson, a highly respected ho
tel proprietor, died in 1847 and his |
wife in 1867. Both bodies were en-j
closed in leaden caskets filled with
rum and hermetically sealed before
being placed into the valut, which
was built on the top of the ground.
Although the ravages of the ele
ments had obliterated the brick walls
of the vault the caskets were found
to be in a perfect state of preserva
tion.
Embalmers say there is no doubt
that the bodies of the Pattersons re
main perfectly preserved.
The bolometer, for measuring va
riations in the radiation of heat,
registers to a millionth -of a degree.

For every ounce of food and drink
taken intd the stomach, nearly au
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material Is not eliminated day by day
It quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus

A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a j

which is a harmless way to wash

| FAIRBANKS PICTURE NEW FACES SEEN IN !
i One of the principal points ofc in- 1
| terest about the Douglas Fairbanks
I production, “When the Clouds Roll
By” >vhich is being shown at the Al-!
cazar today and Friday, is the ex
ceptionally strong cast that will play
in support of the star.
When the story was originally
written by Mr. Fairbanks he realized
that there would have to be a num
ber of changes in his company for
this picture, because of its unusual
ness and the fact that every person
in the cast and also the hundreds of
i extras that were used continually,
j would have to be of a strongly ath
; letic type for it was not bnly “Doug”
who was to supply all of the ginger
and pep in this production, but the
players were to be assigned to parts
I in which they too had to be athletic-
I ally capable so as to save their very
; lives at times.
The one exception in the cast is
| that of Frank Campeau, who has had
important villian parts in the last six
Fairbanks pictures. Probably no
i other man on the screen is so well
and favorably known for his por
trayal of “the bad man” pai-ts, and
, certainly few others are as capable
of the same finished artistic natural
ness.
After having played very success
ful parts in many recent productions
with other stars, principally with
Mary Pickford, Ralph Lewis was as
signed by “Doug” to play the gruff
old uncle in this production. This is
his first appearance in a Fairbanks
localßricfs

Wednesday evening under the au
spices of the Albany Rotary club were
President J. E. Hightower, Secre
tary Silaa Johnson, T. M. Furlow
and Joseph Perkins. J. M. Prance
, also made the trip with them.
The city street department was
I busy today cleaning the rasorvoirs
■ at the city pumping station, and as a
I result the water was a bit discolored.
, “Just tell the folks that it is the
■ regular spring cleaning and that the
water will clear again by night,” said
Clarence Jeter, of the department,
asking the Times-Recorder to let the
public in on the cause of discolora
tion.
The Times-Recorder force has re-j
ceived from C. J. Clarke, who isj
spending some weeks at his orange;
grove at Eustis, Fla., a crate of
i oranges and grape fruit grown on j
' his 8-acre tract there. The fruit was'
j of delightful flavor and high quali
ty, tree-ripened and perfect in ev- j
ery respect.

I war. he made a wonderful hit in
“Kismet,” and was highly praised in
his artistic work in "Mameena,”
“Red Lamp,” the great tragedy,
“Pompey, the Great,” and many
j Shakespearean productions. During
I the great world war he went to
! France as a captain with the Man

part in all of the big engagements
during the first two years, was cap

in prison, from where he escaped,
’ only to be recaptured when crossing
the Austrian line.
i Playing valet to strenuous “Doug”
I is the part that Albert MacQuarrie
has been cast for. The part is by no
means a minor one, for the valet in
this case has the ‘follow the leader”
stunt to do, with “Doug” as leader.
Kathleen Clifford is supporting
“Doug” in the role .of the sweet
young girl with whom he falls in
love. She is one of the best known
and widely talked about star? in pic
tures.
Daisy Robinson, another of the
cast, has been before the public since
a child, having played with Joseph

REVIVAL DRAWS
VISITING PARTIES
Two More Strong Ser
mons Preached Bv
Dr. Ellis
Two interesting sermons marked
yesterday’s revival at First Meth
odist church. Another overflowing
house with some in the galleries in
dicated that there is no let up in the
interest. Several more applied for
membership after the evening serv
ice.
Dr. Ellis preached on a well known
passage in the afternoon to a good
audience, among whom were several
parties from Plains, Leslie and Ella
ville. The text was, Let not youv
hearts be troubled,” etc. The preach
ers’ treatment of this passage was il
luminating and helpful. At the night
service he took for a text the three
classes of men whom Chirst could not
use: Boaster, the Man who said to
God, “Wait on me,” and the Man
who tried to walk one way and look
the other. In opposition to these,
he referred briefly to the Penintent,
the Eager Man, and the Ready whom
Chirst could use and did.
The Wisdo msisters sang sweetly
at both services, at night repeating a
song by special request. So popular
have these Christian young women
become that they are billed for both
the Rotary and Kiwais luncheons on
Thursday and Friday.
Special attention is called to the
children’s service this afternoon at 2
o’clock. Come with your children; it
will do you and them good.
