FROM DALTON CITIZEN.
The following was clipped from
the Dalton Citizen of December 13,
1923. The clipping follows:
In another place of this paper is a
communication from Commissioner
Perry,of the public service commis
sion. Friend Perry seems to think we
did him wrong in a more or less
flippant paragraph which appeare m
last week’s Citizen. We did not in
tend to offend, and gladly give space
to his rather lengthy rejoinder. \\ e
are going to try to be more careful
in the future when we spea.. of
chips.
Think. We Did Him An ln,u.t.ce
To the Editor of The Dalton Citizen.
You state in your paper of Decem
ber 6th, “Our friend Perry, of the
Georgia puublic service commission,
seems to have a chip on his shoulder.
Most everything the the
does is unsatisfactory to him.” \onr
statements just referred to are in
correct,in point of fact; they do me
an injustice and I feel sure you will
not deny me the opportunity to re
ply thereto, even at some It gtfc.
There are only three instances
whch you could have had in mind
that prompted the discrediting state
ment made by you. You had a per
fect right to comment on these as
you did, and lam not now complain
ing that you did so.
The instances referred to began in
January of this year, when I pro
posed that the commssion should
hold daily sessions. This, had it
been done, would onlybe carying out
the requirements of the law. iinoe
the acts of 1907 the chairman of
the commission has been required to
give his entire time to the dut'es of
hs office, and for this special extra
servee he was given $1,500.00 per
year more than the other members.
In 1910 another $1,000.00 was add
ed to the chairman’s salary and sl,-
100.00 increase for the other mem
bers of the commision, the act pro
viding for this last increase express
lyprovides that each member of the
commission shall give his entire time
to the duties of hs offce.
Inlßl2 the appropration for the
commission was increased about
$35,000.00 per annum, or about- qu
ble what it had previously been, and
only after long and earnest effort*
of the commission ;and with the
promise over and over again that
the emmission if thus provided for,
would be in a position to go to work.
Accordngly I introduced a resolu
tion carrying out this promise of the
commission as well as complying
with aspecal requirement of the law,
and strange to say, certain members
of the commission took offense at
it.
At the sumer sesion of the legis
lature this year I was called upon to
make a statement to a committee of
the house of representatives con
cerning the work of the commission.
In this statement I pointed out the
unfortunate results from not attend
ing to the business of the offce as
the law requires. Among them, I
named instances where the secretary
has handled matters coming to the
commission, to afinal conclusion, de
nying therelief sought, without
knowledge on the part of any mem
ber of the commission, except the
chairman, and in one case without
the chairman’s knowledge. I further
stated, and the minutes of the com
mission show it to be true, that
Commissioners Price and McDonald
were in this office, for the first six
months this year, at the rate of only
fivedays per month, and since the
legislature adjourned on the 15th of
August until it reconvened on the
7th of November, they were here
only four days permonth. As above
stated, there are two statutes requir
ing the entire time of the chairman,
and for which he is now paid sl,-
400.00 per year more than the other
members of the commission, and for
which he is expected to be in his of-

HE WANTEP TO PAY HIS N.
fice every work day in the week,
holidays excepted, or otherwise en
gaged in a discharge of his official
duties.
Beginning with the introduction
of the resolution referred to and
since the statement to the legislative
committee the members of the com
mission have seen fit to subject me
jto every humiliation that a gentle
man could be subjected to.
Another happening that went to
the public was my refusal to sign the
letter of transmittal to the governor
and general assembly, as required
by law. I did this because of the
statement teherin that the commis
sion was then doing more work than
ever before. My reason for not sign
ing it, is that the statement is un
true. As a matter of fact, he bus
iness coming before the commisson
in 1920 was less than in 1919 and
there has been a corresponding de
crease each year since, with this year
showing less than any year since I
came to the commission in Decem
ber, 1911. This statement applies
to the work of the commission as a
whole. There has been an increase
in the rate department, due to a gen
eral revision o rates in Georgia
starting in 1921. There may be seen
an increase in number of cases dock
eted this year, consisting of unim
portant and undefended cases. Such
as applcations for the discontinuance
of express and telegraph oiices,
switching, sidetrack facilities and
similar cases. But as for the usual
number of sase requiring time, be
yond the public hearing, we haven’t
had them.
Another, and the third case, which
recently came to your atention. was
the mater of selecting delegates to
to the associaion of railroad and util
ities commissioners, which met in Mi
ami, Fla., last week. 1 made a motion
that the special atorney and the sec
retary be not included among those
to attend, for the reason that, in my
opinion, they could not be construed
as being on business for the commis
sion, and without such, we had no
right to spend the money appropriat
ed for the use of the commision. I
caled attention to the fact that our
former special atorney, Judge Hines,
who was wih us for fourteen years,
never atended one of these conven
tions; that the association held its
meeting here in Atlanta two years
ago, when the special atorney and
secretary were present only at the
public or opening exercises, during
the four days it was in session. One
of the members of the commission
was only present as the secretary
and specal attorney, another was
here a short time before the close,
another was not in Atlanta the en
tire week of the convention. In fact,
only two members of the commis
sion and the rate expert made any
pretense at attendance on the busi
ness sessions of the association. I
make this comparison ilustrating the
importance of the sepcial attorney
and secretary attending the Florida
convention. Draw your own conclu
sions. I further stated tnat to vote
for such a trip, for one not having
business, was to force the citizens of
Georgia to pay the expenses of a
pleasure trip for those coming under
this rule; and this applies with equal
force to the poorest and humblest
woman or child throughout the state.
I was alone, with the other four
members against me, in the three
cases mentioned, and I have no apol
ogy for so being. On matters coming
before the commission generally, I
have reached conclusions ni accord
with a majority of the commission.
I think common justice calls for
publication of this article, that your
readers may have the oportunity to
decide for themselves as to the cor
rectness of your statement as quoted
in the beginning.
I am, with great respect,
Yours very truly,

HEAL YOUR SKIN
Broken Out Skin and Itching
Eczema Helped Over Night
For unsightly skin eruptions, rash or

you do not have to wait for relief from
torture or embarrassment, declares a
noted skin specialist. Apply a little
Mentho-Sulphur and improvement
shows next day. 4
Because of its germ destroying prop
erties, nothing has ever been found to
take the place of this sulphur prepara
tion. The moment you apply it heal
ing begins. Only those who have had
unsightly skin troubles can know the
delight this Mentho-Sulphur brings.
Even fiery, itching eczema is dried right
up.
Get a small jar of Rowles Mentho-
Sulphur from any good druggist and
use it like cold cream.
AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound.” You vfill get a large bot
tle of this old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients, at
very littje cost. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and even
ly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
Help Kidneys
By Drinking
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize Irri
tating Acids
Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an irri
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer
in constant dread; the tvater passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation and
is very profuse: again, there is diffi
culty in voiding it.
Biadder weakness, most folks _ cal} it
because they can’t control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Begin drinking lots of soft water,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. Continue this for two or
three days. This will help neutralize
the acids in the system so they no longer
are a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act nor
mal again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and is used by
thousands of folks who are subject to
urinary disorders caused by acid irri
tation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects
whatever.
Here vou have a pleasant, efferves
cent lithia-water drink which may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation.
By all means have your physician exam
ine your kidneys at least twice a year.
