“LET YOU ANU. I DO IT”
D ESPITE nil the teaching in the
schools and' In spite -of preaeli-
meats uf grammarians. It seems ut
most Impossible tu establish among
the American people the proper use
of I lie pronouns “I” nnd “me." For
example,, the Incorrect phrase “be
tween you and 1"—Instead of “be
tween you nnd me”—Is heard so often
that grammarians almost despair of
establishing the proper usage. Un
aided, they cannot do It; all mast
help.
"I.et you and I go to the theater to
night.” we hear. It Is Incorrect. The
correct form Is "Let you and me go
to the theater tonight,” although this
may snmvl queer. The explanation is
simple. "I.eL" Is. a transitive verb;
that Is, It must have an object or ob
jects. And (lie objects In the sen
tence quoted are "you" and "me" (not
“I”). They must, therefore, be In the
objective ease. ,

Socialism Will Take Farms
After Public Utilities
Are Swallowed Up
The Municipal League of Georgia
says:
“From 1910 to 1919, 310,000
horse power were developed by I
the Hydro-Electric Power Com- i
mission of Ontario."
. The Real Facts About Ontario
The actual development by the Hy- !
dro-Electric Power Commission in;
Ontario from 1910 to 1919 was less I
than 60,000 horse power.
The Municipal League of Georgia
has much to say about the number of
farms in Ontario using the service of
the Hydro-Electric Commission of On
tario.
The facts are that some farmers in
Ontario, living within or close to
towns or villages are uaing electric
service just as they are in Georgia,
but that electric service cannot oe
furnished to farmers generally be
cause of the expensive machinery nec
essary to make high tension electric
current available on isolated farms.
Promisee Can't Be Carried Out
None of the promises made by the
Municipal League of Georgia to put
electric service on the farms can be
carried out. These false promises
are written simply to get your sup
port of their raid on Georgia’s treas
ury.
Georgia Companies Ahead
of Ontario
The electric companies in the
United States are devoting
continuous and persistent ef
fort to working out a practicable plan
of reaching the farm house with elec
tric service at a reasonable cost, but
the problem has not yet been solved.
The companies in Georgia are far
ahead of the Ontario public-owned
body, and second to none in the United
States in the character of equipment
and quality of service rendered.
The. Municipal League of Georgia
says:
“The public utilities such as gas,
water, light and power plants are dif
ferent. In them the property of the
public is used.”
This statement is untrue, and is an-
! other adroit appeal for your support
I in their proposed raid on the Georgia
1 Treasury.
Huge Cost Will Increase Taxes
The facts are that every piece of
property used by a water, gas, light
or power plant must he purchased and
, paid for. The water in the streams
' cannot be used to generate electricity
unless heavy investments are made in j
dams, machinery and transmission
lines. The land that is flooded and
the right of way ^pr the transmission
lines must be bought and paid for.

Repair The Wear
Hard Work Often Breaks Down a Person's Health
and Creates a keed for Ziron Iron Tonic.
M EN and women who do hard
labor, inch as building, farm
ing or housekeeping, and those
who do exhaustive brain work of vari
ous kinds, often feel the need of some
thing to help renew fagged forces and
tone up the system.
To help repair the wear caused by
ever-work, to gain renewed strength
nnd energy, many have obtained good
results from taking Ziron Iron Tonlo.
Ziron Is a perfected preparation of
pure medicinal Iron Balts, combined
with other valuable strength-giving
tonic Ingredients, which are
mended by leading physicians.
Mr. H. B. Converse, of McEwen,
Tenn., writes: “I had been working
very bard, and was getting weak mad
run-down from hard work. When" l
commenced taking Ziron, In a few days
I felt stronger, and now I have taken
two botUes I feel as strong as svsr,
although I have kept at work all the
time.”
You cannot lose anything hy giving
Ziron a trial, but very likely will gala
much.
Your druggist will sell you the
first bottle on a money-back guarantee.
EVER BILIOUS?
Charleston, Miss.—Mrs. R. V. Heins, of this place,
says: "I have never had to use very much medicine,
because if I felt headache, dizziness, or colds, bad taste
in the mouth, which comes from torpid liver, I would
take a dose or more of Black-Draught, and it would
straighten me out and make me feel as good as new.

and it certainly is the best liver medicine I ever saw.
It has not only saved me money, it has helped keep my
system in shape, and has never weakened me as so
many physics do.. 1 recommend it to my friends and am
glad to do so.” Black-Draught is the old, reliable liver
medicine which you have doubtless heard much about.
When you feel badly all over, stomach not right, bad
taste in your mouth, bilious, or have a headache, try
Thedford's Black-Draught At all Druggists.
