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.” ALKAHEST LYCEUM GETS FI Will Present Ten Entertain ments This Year—An- Attractive Program.

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.

"I don't know what Is going to be come of the negroes. It seems that ev ery negro arrested Is armed with a razor or knife and Is threatening or attempting to cut off the head of some other negro. It looks as tho they have set about’to exterminate the race In At lanta I have never heard of so much knife play and stabbing cases among the negroes In all of my career on the bench. The situation Is getting seri ous." Recorder Broyles Tuesday morning thus expressed hla views on the crime situation In Atlanta just after he had tried several negroes In this class, ths chief character being a negro woman, who, attired In men's clothes, armed herself with a razor Saturday night and sought to cut off the head of another woman of whom she had become Jeal ous.

It is much better to be frank and open about it. than to pretend differently and grope in the dark. If a patient visits me affected DR.WM.M. BAIRD t. h**n f.w and far between. with an acute disease in which I do not spe cialize, I quickly say this is something I make no pretense of being posted upon suf ficiently to do good service, and recommend the patient to a general practitioner. ’ In con trast to this I might cite the case of a gen eral practitioner who treated a patient for a 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. I am at my office from 8 to 7; Sundays and holidays, 10 to 1.
