“Campaign Contributions"
"These charges are all bosh. H»
may think he is proving something
when he brings out facts that every
body knows, that there were cam
paign contributions made to me."
Attorney Aldine Chambers smiled
significantly Friday when asked as to
the details of his charges. He said
ir was not within his province to
take any action toward the impeach
ment of Turner, but that the facts
he would produce certainly would be
sufficient grounds for Council to im
peach the City Electrician.
He said there was an organization
of electrical contractors in Atlanta
known as the Elektron Company, that
his client, the Cotton States Electric
Company, had formerly been a mem
ber of this organization but had with
drawn for business reasons. His
graft hints are that Turner has re
ceived considerable financial aid from
this company, which he is prepared
to prove, and that since the Cotton
States Electric Company’s withdrawal
from the company Turner has per
secuted it.

writing to the Board of Electrical

Lights Committee. After reviewing

that lie haw even allowed foreign con

without a licenae.
When a few minutes later he made
a reference to the wiring of the Ho

"Stick to your case.”
“I will." answered Chambers "My
case is showing you up."
"Then well Bhow up something,

"I I won't say what 1 started to

Specific Aecueationv
The -wording of the graft charges
relating to the association of electri
cal contractors is:
"We charge that said Turner ac
cepted gifts from such an association
or its members.
"We charge that Turner appointed
four members of the Hoard of Elec
trical Examiners for contractors who
were In this association.
We further charge that said Tur
ner is under financial obligation to
this association or Its members.
"We do not mean to reflect upon
this association or its members.
“We also charge that he has used
his official position to compel loam,
to him."
The joint meeting of the officials
hearing the charges decided to post
pone further consideration of them
until Monday in order that Turner
may have an opportunity to reply to
them.
Message From Memphis.
There was then considerable argu
ment over whether the Cotton Suites
Electric Company should be allowed
to continue work In the meantime.
Turner produced a telegram from the
city electriciun of Memphis, the
former home of Jack Ppters. mana
ger of the Cotton States Electric
Company, stating that i,t was hard
to make Peters comply with the law.
Turner then said he had no objec
tions to feters pursuing his work,
though before the meeting he had re
fused to grant him the necessary per
mits.

College Girls' Kisses
Classified by Author
NEW YORK, Dee. 5.—“You can tell
by the way a young American girl re
ceives or gives a kiss what college she
has attended." declares Emile Des-
champs, the French author, in a chap
ter of his new book, entitled "Uncle
bain’s Women.” He writes:
"The best kisses come from Smith
College, although the Harvard Annex
girls prefer kisses to bonbons.
"The kiss of Vassar girls is like a
blow
"The graduates of Bryn Mawr kiss
without batting an eye.
"The ravishing kiss of Mount Holyoke
girls can only be likened to a volcano.’’

Don’t Force Your Liver To Work
When Liver Gets Lazy it Needs
Only Jacobs’ Liver Salt.
We have progressed beyond the calo
mel and blue mass age. Calomel is a
dangerous drug which crashes Into the
system with mercurial force and
punches a way through the sour bile,
leaving organs stunned and weak and
sometimes with serious after effects.
Thinking people realize it is better to
keep the liver, kidneys and bowels
working regularly and normally.
One becomes constipated and bilious
because all food has a percentage of
Indigestible waste, the richer the diet
the greater this percentage, and In time
It packs and retards the eliminative
processes of liver and kidneys. But all
you need is Jacobs’ Liver Salt to give
a gentle flushing which loosens and
washes away waste and fermentation in
the natural elimination.
Jacobs’ Liver Salt is the most nat
ural liver tonic. Sodium sulphate and
lithium stimulate and augment the nat
ural digestive sulphates In the blood;
instead of forcing It works naturally,
gently, but promptly. If not t'p
to the mark on arising, take Jacobs
Liver Salt and In an hour you feel
splendid. Agreeable to take and never
gripes. Jacobs’ Liver Salt is better
for your liver than calomel, and If
you don’t agree with us after trying it,
your money back at the store where
you bought it. All druggists. 25c. Made
and guaranteed by Jacobs’ Pharmacy.
