STATEMENT OF RALPH 0. COCHRAN
Candidate for the Legislature
To the People of Fulton County
As a candidate for the Legislature from Fulton county, I want to publicly
acknowledge my debt of gratitude to the hundreds of fellow-citizens who have
voluntarily and so generously and enthusiastically indorsed my candidacy.
I will say that I haven’t the least unkind feeling for any of the four gentle
men who are making the race for the positions of representatives from this
county. In fact, most all of them are my personal friends.
In my business relations, I have always endeavored to be fair and broad
minded, and I have always professed to be a man who could see both sides of
any question. I have lived in Fulton county for 14 years. (I was born and
raised in the adjoining county of Campbell.) During these years, I have been
identified in a measure with the growth and progress of Atlanta and Fulton
county. If you elect me, I will ever stand for the material uplift and betterment
of the people of Fulton and the people of the state at large.
I furthermore pledge you my best efforts and thought as a business man to
prove myself worthy of your confidence, and this compliment I will not forget.

URGES CURFEW
11 IN ATLANTA
Newsboys Club Also Is Planned
by Chief County Probation
Officer Tindall.
W. W. Tindall, chief county proba
tion officer, seeks strict laws regard
ing the public conduct of children. He
began today a plan to obtain a curfew
law and to effect a newsboys’ organi
zation.
"I am going to try to have both the
laws put into effect." said Mr. Tindall.
We need a cuifew rule in Atlanta
probably more than any other thing
concerned with children. The news
boys association might be made to co
operate with officers in enforcement of
the law and would certainly benefit the
young boys now roaming the streets at
night.”
Mr. Tindall's plan is to have the
newsboys organized into a club, and to
get an orde- from city officials that no
boy not a member of the club be al
lowed to sell newspapers on the streets.
The curfew law is planned along lines
followed in other cities.
"By the two laws we would be able to
prevent a great deal of minor lawless
ness by newsboys and could also keep
children from running on the streets at
night unless they have written per
mission from their parents," said Mr
Tindall,

FORSYTH IS DRAWING
RECORD ATTENDANCE
Attendance at the Forsyth is past
high water mark. Standing room was
at a premium at Tuesday night's per
formance. and the advance sale for the
balance of the performances bids to
make this a record week.

the star headline, and he is ably assist
ed by Al Lamar and Vida Perrin. In
cidentally, Mr. Lamar has always been
the leading man with Gabriel, starting
a partnership with him some fifteen

never played Tige. The dog character
in "Buster Brown" and othej- sketches
was portrayed by another artist. La

Kick" has his best assignment in a
number of years.
Aside from the Gabriel act, in which
there is so much interest. Tempest and
Sunshine, stars in their particular line
of work, have also scored a hit. and all
the acts on the bill are being received
splendidly.

a draft, or get wet. The liver finds ft)
efforts overcome by pressure of the
blood, and food remains In the stomach
or bowels. The head gets hot, the feet
cold and th® bowels constipated. Right
then and there Is the danger point. The
bowels must be kept open. The system
must be relieved of congestion.
