ATLANTA, May J 6.—n?hc formal
•JmUuncement that /former U. S.
Senator Hoke Smith intended to re
turn to Georgia from Washington
and make his home has caused some
inquiries to be made by newspapers
and politicans generally, who always
scent something afield whenever
Senator Smith changes his location
or makes some new departure.
That his object is not political, as
some critics now might make it ap
pear, but follows plans of long
standing made by the senator may
be stated as positive fact. Senator
Smith is not coming home to run
Just Got Over a Cold ?
Look out for kidney troubles and
backache. Colds overtax the kid
neys and often leave them weak. For
weak kidneys—well, read what an
Americus man says:
C. T. Law, taxi business, 705 FoY
syth St., says: “Some years ago
when I was on the farm, I wrenched
my back when over-lifting. Since
then, when I have taken cold I suffer
ed from kidney complaint. When i
stooped, a severe catch took me in
the small of my back and I could
hardly straighten. I passed the kid
ney secretions at night and I suffered
with severe pains in the back of my
head. I heard about Doan’s Kidney
Pills and one box from the Windsor
Pharmacy cured me of the attack. 1
felt fine in every way.”

' Le says to himself in about as strong
i language as he is capable of using
; —and he ha., never lacked for a
■ word to convey his meaning.
The senator s sole object, as he
[ has repeatedly told his friends, is to
' spend his declining days in his home
f state. He has never given up his
i residence here in the sense that he
! did not call Atlanta his home; in
fact, his legal connections are both
in Atlanta and Washington. His
son, Marian Smith, of the well
known legal firm o fLittle, Powell,
Smith and Golstein, has all along
been, an associate counsel of the
Hoke Smith law offices in Wash
ington n-nd Atlanta, and the senator,
I when he is in Atlanta usually makes
I his headquarters at the offices of his
| son. The*Washington law offices of
| the senator are in charge of Major
; O. H. B. Bloodworth,*Jr., and Major
: James L. Fort, and the office will
I be continued after the senator’s re-
I moval to Atlanta. In addition the
senator will have a large legal li
brary at his Atlanta home. He is
counsel for many large clients in
the South," in addition to his national
and international connection.
Some critics of the senator con
strued a big personal write-up of
the senator which appeared recent
ly in a national magazine to mean
that he was again reeking the lime
light with a view of running for of
fice. The truth of the matter is that
the article was written by W. P.
Hunnicut, a former secretary of the
senator, now' a newspaper writer, as
a personal tribute to his former em
ployer. There was no political sig
nificance whatever attached to the
article, this from no less authority
than the writer himself who is : ow
in Atlanta. The article, which was
read by many Georgia friends of the
senator, told him he rose from a
penniless school teacher in W ■'nes
boro, 'tta., to a leading lawyer of
the profession, cabinet oflicer at
the age of thirty-seven, twice gov

UISCUSS HUGE STATE
MH MH M
Meeiing He’d at Maccn by Geor
gia Gcod Roads Association
•S7C’,CCC,OCt» Over 7-Years
MACON, May 15.—. Discussions of
I the proposed amendments to the con
stitution authorizing a $70,000,01’0
bond is. ue featured the meeting of
. the Georgia Good Roads association
I here today. The proposed amend
. ments were submitted by a commit
-1 tee composed of Edgar Watkins,
[chairman, J. A. Sharpe, E. M.
Thorpe, Charlo.- N. Howard, Jr., W.
E. Watkins, designated at a recent
meeting of the organizatiia to in
vestigate the needs of the state for
highways and to devise a system by
which the funds for the construction
of an adequate system- of roads
might be procured.
The proposed plan calls for the is
suance of the bonds in five ten mil
lion dollar installments, the sixth in
stallment being for twenty million
dollars. The first issue would be
made in 1925 and the last in 1930.
The amount of bonds issued each
year, however, is not fixed in the bill
other than limitation to “such an
amount that the interest thereon,
if computed at the rate of four and
one-half per cent per annum and an
annual contribution to a sinking fund
Sufficient, with accumulation com
puted at the rate fixed as afore
said, compounded annually, to re
tire such indebtedness in thirty
years would exceed the amount of
the motor fuels tax and the motor
vehicle license tax hereinafter refer
red to for the preceding year.”
The amendments would place a
| tax to be levied on gas, however, to
| three cents a gallon. In adition to
: levying a special motor vehicle lie
. ! cense tax a state property tax
.:u!i a ient to pay the interest on such
debt and to provide an adequate
: . inking fund for the payment of the
I principal when it becomes due”
would also be levied, this being limi
| ted to five miles on the dollar.

[CUS TIMES-RECORDER
THE AMER
RECORD FOR SAFE TRAVEL
ON TRAINS OF SOUTHERN
1 ATL.ANTA, May 14—Figures just
compiled by the :afety department
■ of the Southern Railway system show
that a high degree ol safety for
passengers wa accomplished during
the year 192” when the Southern
handled a total of 17,668,605 pas
sengers with ut a single fatality to
any passenger as the result or an
accident to a train or negligence on
the part of the railway.
A total of 177,081 passengers
trains were operated during the
year and the average distance trav
eled by each passenger was 62.17
miles. Had one passenger ridden the
entire distance that these passengers
were carried, he would have traveled
more than 44,000 times the distance
around the earth.
Four passengers word killed as the
result of their own acts in violatior
of the safety rules established for
their protection. Os course, two fell
•from moving trains, one attempted to
board a moving train and fell under
it, and one jumped through the
window of the coach in which he was
tiding.
“These figures,” says a statement
issued by the safety department of
the Southern, “show that, while the
Southern has attained a remarkable
degree of efficiency in protecting the
! passengers who ride on its trains, no
! I refinement of protective features
i can insure the safety of persons who
I carelessly or deliberately violate the
■ common laws of safety and the rules
• which have been established for their
■ protection.”
WARE TO CURB SPEEDERS
w WAYCROSS, May 15.—High
speed at which automobiles travel
aover the Folkston road is attributed
as one of the chief causes for the
large number of accidents on that
road. Various local authorities
state that the road is rapidly be lin
ing a race track for those who ae
sire to exceed the speed limit and it
has been proposed that Ware and
Charlton counties co-operate in an
effort to patrol the road.

FOR CONSTIPATION
Black-Draught Recommended by
an Arkansas Fanner Who Has
Used It, When Needed,
for 25 Years.
Hatfield, Ark.—-Mr. G. W. Parsons, a
well-known farmer on Route 1, this place,
says: “I keep Black-Draught in my home
all the time. It is the best all-around
medicine I have ever f<und for the liver
and for constipation. We began using it
25 or more years ago and have used it
whenever needed since. I have never
found any other medicine as good for
constipation, and that was what 1 suffer
ed with till 1 began using Black-Draught.
Black-fraught corrected this condition,
and now we use it for the liver and for
indigestion—a tight and sluggish feeling
after meals, for bad taste in the mouth
and sour stomach.
“My wife uses it for headache and
biliousness. It sets on our shelf and we
don’t let it get out. It has been a great
help to us. I believe a great deal of
sickness is caused by hurried eating and
constipation, and Black-Draught, if taken
right, will correct this condition.”
