Going on Record.
Has Conference With Attorney
General on Western and
Atlantic Rate Matter.
Governor Hoke Smith has already
taken hold of the Atlanta-Chattanooga
freight rate controversy, Involving the
lease contract of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and St..Louts railway with the
state for the Western and Atlantic rail
road.
Tuesday morning Governor Smith and
. S. Felder, attorney general, were In
conference for some time, this subject
being under discussion. On Wednes
day Judge James K. Hines, special atv
torney of the railroad commission, la
expected to return to the city, and then
Governor Smith will call n conference
with General Felder and Judge Hines
o go further Inti* this question. As
. ft the governor has not called for the
record in the case, but doubtless will
axk the railroad commission for It when
he Is ready for action.
An effort was made on Monday by
The Georgian to secure a statement
from ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown re
garding his refusal to proceed against
the lessee to enforce lower rates on
thru shipments. Governor Brown was
at hts home In Marietta, but by tele
phone an engagement was made to
t him In Atlanta at 11 o’clock. How
ever, he failed to come until the after
noon. In Tuesday morning’s Issue of
The Constitution the following state
ment was, credited to Governor Brown:
Governor Brown was in Atlanta
Monday afternoon, but declined to dis
cuss the matter, further than to «ay
that the action which was pressed upon
him during the late days of his admin
istration could as easily have been
taken during the administration pre
ceding his own; and can be taken yet.
If found advisable by tho admlnlstra
tlon succeeding his own.
"As for his reason for falling to an
nul the lease, he said the flic would
speak for Itself; but Intimated that he
had not cjosed, as he could not close,
the matter so far as the executive of
fice is concerned.”

MACON WOULD CHANGE
ITS CITY CHARTER, TOO
Macon would have Ite charter amend
ed, by a bill introduced in the house by
the Bibb county delegatloiv Recently
the people of that city have voted to
Issue $900,000 of bonds and buy the
water plant, now owned by a private
corporation. To that end, authority la
asked for the creation of a waterworks
commission to manege the plant after
It la purchased.
The general tax law permlta munici
palities to levy taxea of 11.25 on the
1100 assessed valuation. Macon seeks
to have Its charter changed to permit
the use of only four-fifths of this tax
for general municipal purposes and the
remaining fifth exclusively for sewer
construction and street paving.
Another bill. In line with the water
works proposition, Is to amend the state
fee law that permit! superior court
clerks to collect n fee of 21 on each mu
nicipal or county bond Issued and reg
istered. This would mean 2900 In fees
on the Macon waterworks Issue, the
bonds being In denominations of 21.000
each.
The Bibb delegation wants to sate
2795 to the taxpayers of Macon by
having this act amended to limit th
ree to 25 cents carh on the first 100
bonds nnd ten cents each on the bal
ance. The clerk's fees on the water-
orks Issue would therrfore be reduced
to only 2105.
By the passage of the Stovall bill
amending the ronstltutlon, the house
has put Itself on record as favoring the
advancement or the public schools In
the country as well as those In the city.
The amendment strikes out the words
“In the elementary branches of an Eng.
llsh education only" In the school clause
of the conatltutlon, allowing the coun
try schools to raise their curriculum
to that of the city high school. When
a pupil finishes the course In a country
school now It Is necessary for him or
her to attend a city high school to pre
pare for an entrance tnto some college.
If the Stovall bill becomes a law, coun
try schools can add the higher grades
and prepare Its pupils for matriculation
In colleges.
Altho there were only five votes cast
against the passage of the bill, the ad
vocates of It. who numbered 152, were
frightened by the debate, which lasted
nearly two hours. Representatives Nix,
of Gwinnett, nnd Ragsdale, of Paulding,
were tho only ones who raised their
voices again*: the proposed amendment
and they fought It strongly. Mr. Nix
fought agalns: the bill In the long de
bate and occuptel the floor for some
time, while Mr. Ragsdale, on an expla
nation cf ale vote, made a strong
speech against It.
Those who sp. ke for It were Repre
sentatives Stovall, of Elbert; Hall, of
Bibb: Fullbright, of Burke: Alexander,
of DeKalb; McElreath. of Fulton; Beck,
of Brooks; Wimberly, of Bibb; Wil
liams, of Bulloch; Darsey, of Spalding;
Murphy, of Bulloch, and Wilson, of
Gwinnett.
As the bill provided for a constitu
tional amendment, It required two-
thirds of the membership |.jr passage,
122 votes. When the rail call began,
there were hardly more than this num
ber present and fearing that -he meas
ure might fall for lack of voter, the ad.
vocatea requested the speiker to Sirdcr
all members from the corridors to their
seats. This was done, and loS respond
ed "aye" to the coll, whlia five regis
tered against It. The five were Rep
resentatives Ncwsome.i Nix, Pnrkor, of
Liberty; Ragsdale and Strickland.

case of specific blood poison. As a matter of
fact, he had had very little, if any, expe
rience with this disease. Yet he did not say
so. The patient did not improve, because
the doctor did not understand the disease nor
the particular case. So he kept giving the
“mixed treatment” and shot at the moon.
When the patient suggested consulting a
specialist, the doctor disagreed, and when the
patient mentioned my name, the doctor was
quite put out. All he knew about me or my ability waa that I
advertised in the newspapers. That was enough for him to
make him see red. The result was that finally the patient
came to me, and his case was treated according to its individual
needs; and the patient was given careful, scientific and conscien
tious attention. I discharged him completely cured. The gen
eral practitioner who failed in this probably knows some other
diseases much better than I do. But he did not know this dis
ease. I was able to do what I did because I have been study
ing and specializing in diseases of men, chronic diseases and
nervous disorders for more than a third of a century. That’s
why I KNOW them and know how to treat them successfully.
That’s also why I say I can cure any ease which G'AN he cured.
