ALL OVER BODY
■ 1 *
On Scalp First. Formed Thick
Scales on Scalp. Raw Irritating
Sores. Cuticura Remedies Cured
When All Others Failed.
Tt. F. D. No. 1 Lewisburg. Ky.—“ Fifteen
yews ago I was badly affected with eczema
upon my scalp first, then it spread all over
m y body and continued to
' - grow worse for four years.
It began with a dry rash
forming scales. After fortn
=s ing thick scales or gcabs the
,• z ' ■ irritation forced me to
, scratch the scabs off and the
"\T\ft hair would come out with
\ them. Upon my face and
I dy tlie sores would get inflamed and they
,! tigered my face. It was worse where my
i ,ili. irritated them. The eruption was a
y 110/ish watery kind, sometimes bloody.
In uarni weather it was so bad I was no.t
a- i,, v.ork on account of the raw irritating
sorts c.i my head and body. Sometimes
i , - n s would spread until two or three of
them would get together and form one large
sore.
tffer trying various medicines without
relief I tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
After using four cakes of Cuticura Soap and
four boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one
bottle of the Resolvent I was entirely sound
and well and have been for eleven years.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured me when
all others failed to do me any good.’’ tSigned)

j PROMINENT CITIZENS INDORSE CANDIDACY |
OF ALDINE CHAMBERS FOR MAYOR
I We, the undersigned citizens of Atlanta, hereby indorse the candidacy of Aldine Chambers for Mayor. I
I Mr. Chambers has had a large experience in municipal affairs and has demonstrated that he is one of the ablest, most I
careful and conscientious officers in public life in the city of Atlanta today.
|| Atlanta cannot afford at this time to place a man at the head of her government who does not represent all the qualities g
of the best public officials to be found at the head of municipal governments in other cities.
|| Mr. Chambers is honest, he is just, he is experienced, he is progressive, he is broad minded and tolerant, and the citizens I
g of Atlanta can rest assured that he will do nothing to bring reproach upon the fair name of our city.
1 We believe at this crisis in the city’s affairs that the city should place such a man at the head of its government. I

JUSTICE COURTS
I
Bar Association Begins Fight
for Abolishment of the Minor
Tribunals in Cities.
i
• 1 he Atlanta Bar association has be
> gun a state-wide fight for the proposed
. constitutional amendment abolishing
1 justice of the peace courts in larger
Georgia cities, and today the commit-
I tee in charge of the work mailed letters
. to each member of the general assem
bly asking their support of the measure.
’ Several days ago the association ap
pointed a committee, headed by W. A.
i Fuller, to solicit support of legislative
member.- and business men generally.
The work of the committee has been
secret, to prevent, if possible, any an
tagonistic organization the city justices
might form.
“We are soliciting the support of the
legislative members as well as all other
men in the state to carry the proposed
amendment in the general election Oc
tober 2, and we have sent many of
them letters asking their support of the
bill.” said Mr. Fuller today.
Only City Justices Hit.
"The one thing that might prevent
the peoples indorsement of the bill at
the polls is that many of them do not
understand what it means.
"That is what we are aiming to ac
complish by sending the letters. We
are asking each man to explain to his
neighbors that the amendment pro
vides that only justices in cities of over
20.000 population are to be done away
with.
"The amendment does not provide
that all the courts shall be done away
with. That is not what we seek, for as
they a-e conducted in smaller places
than those of 20,000 population they
give the best possible means for dispos
ing of legal tangles.
Detrimental in City.
“But in a city it is different. The
practices common to some of the courts
are such that they had better be thrown
out. of existence if the people want jus
tice.”
Walter McElreath. former member of
the legislature, who introduced the jus
tice of peace bill, is aiding the bar as
sociation and has assisted in getting
out the circular letters.
"We want the judges of the justice
courts in smaller towns and in the
country to know that we do not oppose
them. We are simply aiming to rid
Atlanta and the other cities of nearly
the size of what has been demonstrated
time and time again is detrimental to
the people's rights,” he said.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
Friday, the 13th —yesterday—was
"lame duck” day in the Kimball house
lobby.
As if by pre
vious concert of
action, the “also
rans” of tffc late
primary drifted
into the famous
ild stamping
ground, presuma
bly to talk things
over and to be
sure, at the same
time, pf pouring
into entirely sym
pathetic ears the
story of how they
each and every
one will “put it
over” next time—
put it over the
late mysteriously
and unaccounta-
bly fortunate enemy, sure!
First of all came John N. Holder, of
Jackson, speaker of the house and as
pirant for Thomas M. Bell’s seat in
congress.
Holtjer was in a very happy frame of
mind, and if defeat has served to
dampen his buoyancy he failed to let
it be known yesterday, so far as ap
pearances went
“The Lord chasteneth His best be
loved now and then.” said the speaker
to a group of'friends, "and I therefore
am not of heavy heart. I can not be
lieve that a patriot so truly undeflled
as myself could have been east into
outer darkness, there to abide forever
more. I am not losing any sleep, any
way, and I shall not lose any. I am
content that things fell out as they
did—l have nothing but good wishes
for my successful rival. Tom Bell.”
Besides Speaker Holder, the other
"lame ducks” drifting into the Kimball
were Roland Ellis, of Bibb; Emmett
Shaw, of the new Third congressional
district; Walter Wise, of the Sixth;
John W. Bale, who went down before
the prowess of “Bill” Ennis up in the
Rome judicial circuit; Smith, of Dooly,
and others less unmistakably known to
fame.
"By golly, it looks like a Tame duck’
convention may be in session some
where in this vicinity,” said Ben Black
burn, after carefully and analytically
considering the situation.
Judge Henry Revlll, of Meriwether,
tells a rather good story of a negro ar
rested for vagrancy' down in his neck
of the woods recently.
“This negro had long been under the
eyes of the authorities," said the judge,
"but he is known to be pretty smart,
and his arrest was not undertaken un-

til it was thought sure that a charge of
vagrancy might be sustained against
him.
"When finally he had been landed,
however, a lawyer was appointed to
defend him, and in consultation the ne
gro vehemently protested his lnnocenc>
of vagrancy, whatever otherwise might
be wrong with him in the eyes of the
law.
"’I Yvants you to tell the court,' said
the negro to his lawyer, 'that Ise no
vagrant. I manages a laundry—y ou tell
him that.’
“ 'You manage a laundry?' returned
his attorney. 'I never heard of that!
XV hat’s the name of your laundry?’
"'Maria,' said the defendant, 'and
she my very own wife, too!’
"I do not know what the Jury will
decide when that unique plea is sub
mitted to it,” concluded Judge Revill.
"It’s rather a close point, 1 think!"
William H Ennis, of Floyd, is on his
first visit to Atlanta since his triumph
for solicitor general of the Rome cir
cuit a few days ago.
Whether in honor of his election or
something else, Mr. Ennis bewildered
and bedazzled his numerous friends
around and about the city in the fore
noon with the most glorious and gorge
ous necktie anybody in this Gate City
ever had known him to wear.
It was composed of the most elusive
combination of colors imaginable, and
could hardly have come more than one
in a box, and some expensive per box.
at that!
“I have studied Bill' Ennis’ necktie
critically for an hour,” said Wilson, of
Gwinnett, “and the answer is quite be
yond me. In its northern exposure
it seems to be a placid sea-green, with
a shimmer of purple and ashes of roses
delicately intermingled. In its southern
exposure it looks like a sunset in June
time, suggesting a shower and a rain
bow in the far east. In its western ex
posure it resembles nothing so much
as an—er—well, I hardly know how to
express myself, being but a minor poet,
and modest in my ways, at that!”
"My idea is," said Charlie Northern,
“that 'Bill’ Ennis won that tie on his
election, and afterward somebody bet
him $2 he didn't have the nerve to wear
it!”
Ennis himself would explain the tie
not at all.
Colonel Minter Wimberly, who is
coming back to the house from Bibb,
had a look in on things Atlantawise
today.
Wimberly’s prospective come-back is
hailed by the press contingent in the
house with unalloyed jov and delight.
He is fine “copy” for the newspaper
outfit. He always explains his vote to
the house, and he seems smilingly,
pleasantly and perpetually willing to
explain anybody or everybody else's
vote, if called upon. i
FLAT FREIGHT
BATE IS URGED
Macon Chamber of Commerce
Asks Railroad Commission
to Revise Methods.
The Macon Chamber of Commerce
has petitioned the state railroad com
mission to revise its present methods
of prescribing freight rates in Georgia,
and to substitute instead a plan pre
scribing an arbitrary flat rate, and to
require all roads to adopt that rate anil
no other.
Roads in Georgia are now classified
in four divisions—A. B, C and D. The
first class is permitted to charge a
standard tariff only, without additions.
The others are permitted to add a fixed
percentage above the tariff, according
to their earnings.
The Macon Chamber of Commerce
wishes the existing right of adding to
freight charges accprding to the earn
ings of roads abolished and petitions
that all roads, regardless of all things,
be required to charge the same rate for
freight.
The commission has not considered
the Macon petition and will not do so
immediately. It involves radical and
revolutionary changes in the present
methods and is sure to be opposed both
by shippers and the railroads in many
instances, although it will find support
in other quarters.

MR. JINX GOT SAFELY
THROUGH FRIDAY, 13,
EVEN SLEEPING IN 1323
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—Mr. Arthur
Henry Jinx, of Nassau, N. Y., awoke
today with a sigh of contentment in
his room at the Congress hotel. The
world was. running smoothly for Mr.
Jinx. He arrived at the Congress yes

confided to the clerk, John Burke, that
he was born on the 13th day of the

his family.
Clerk Burke was interested.
“I was born on the 13th myself,” he
said. “You can have room 1323—the

ARMY WORM AT WORK
ON DELTA PLANTATIONS
JACKSON, MISS., Sept. 14.—Advices
received here state that the army
worm has appeared in several counties
in the lower portion of the delta, nota
bly Issaquena and Sharkey, and is mak
ing heavy inroads on the cotton fields.
Fortunately, the pest appears some
what later than usual, and can not work
the heavy destruction of last year.
However, the worms will cut off all
possibility of a top crop in the neigh
borhoods infested.
Some of the delta planters are busy
at work using parts green and arsenate
of lead In their cotton fields to cheek
the ravages of the army worm.
