Blalock Returning
With Sack of ‘Plums'
With a pocket full of income tax
deputy appointments. A. O. Blalock,
Collector of Internal Revenue, is ex
pected to return from Washington
Friday night.
There are nearly 1.000 applications
for the seven positions.
t’lty Electrician R. C. Turner, in
a statement Friday, said he welcomed
the announced probe of hia conduct
by the Board of Electrical Control
and the Council Electric Lights
Committee and defied Aldine Cham
bers, attorney for the Cotton States
Electric Company, to prove his
"graft” charges.
"Let Chambers be specific,” said
Turner. "Hia charges are only veiled
intimations.
“After my fight for reduced elec
tric light and power rates for the
people of Atlanta the organization
of electrical contractors gave me a
banquet at the M. & M. Club and
presented me with a watch. There
is a similar organisation to this in
every city in the country and on the
Inside of my watch is an inscription.
'For R. C. Turner, from his fellow-
craftsmen.’
“Campaign Contribution*.”
“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 tc
the details oT his charges He said
it 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 burner has re
ceived considerable financial aid from
this company, 'wnich he is prepared
to prove, and that since the Cotton
States Electric Company’s withdrawal
from the company. Turner has per
secuted it.
Charge* in Writina.
The charges were submitted in
writing to the Board of Electrical
Control and the Council Electric
Lights Committee. After reviewing
the controversy between Turner and
the Cotton States Electric Company
that has been reviewed before the
Board of Electrical. Control during
several recent meetings, the written
charges state that Turner has been
lenient with other contractors and
that he has even allowed foreign con
tractors to do business in Atlanta
without a license.
When a few minutes later he ma.de
a reference to the wiring of the Ho
tel Winecoff by a company without
a license Turner rejoined;
"Stick to your case.”
‘T will,” answered Chambers. "My
case Is showing you up.”
“Then we’ll show’ up something,
too," remarked Carl Hutcheron, who
had appeared as Turner's attorney.
"We’ll tell something about the As
phalt trust.”
"I—I won’t say what I started to
say.” replied Chambers
Specific Accusations.
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 Board 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 loans
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 States
m
Electric Company should be allowed
to continue work In the meantime.
Turner produced a telegram from the
city electrician of Memphis, the
former home of Jack Peters, mana
ger of the Cotton States Electric
Company, stating that it was hard
to make Peters comply with the law.
Turner then said he had no objec
tions to Peters pursuing his work,
though before the meeting he had re
fused to grant him the necessary per
mits.
Prizes Offered for Best Essays by
Pupils—Elaborate Program
for Exhibit Friday.
Six hundred Atlanta school girls
are busy Friday arranging their
notes on the Child Welfare exhibit
and Public Health exhibit which they
visited Thursday as guests of the
show, and preparing to write essays
on the features of the exhibit that
made the greatest impression upon
them.
Walter H. Rich, of the firm of M.
Rich & Brothers Company, has of
fered $25 in prizes for the best writ
ten essay, by high school girls and
girls from the seventh and eighth
grades. It is hardly probable that
the essays will be completed and the
awards made before the holidays.
The interest which the school au
thorities are taking in the exhibit is
gratifying to the committee in charge
of the show, and it is expected that
the visit of the High School and grade
school girls will be of great benefit
to them. The girls were in charge
of Miss Jessie Muse, principal of the
High School, and were shown every
department and feature of the ex
hibit.
The schoolboys of the city also
will be shown through the show. The
pupils of the four high schools of the
city are to be guests of the show Mon
day, and on a later day the boys of
the seventh and eighth grades will be
there. f
Lectures are given daily by promi
nent physicians and others, and in the
basement are educational moving pic
ture shows that are attracting much
attention. Classes of little girls and
boys from various Atlanta orphan
ages and schools are shown at their
work in the various departments of
the exhibit.
The regular kindergarten classes,
with a demonstration by the home
makers’ class, will occupy the morn
ing hours on Saturday, and in the
afternoon two addresses of unusual
interest will be heard. Dr. Claude
Smith w’ill speak on "How to Select
Your Milk," and Mrs. Spiker, presi
dent of the Drama League, will tell
the story of the "Blue Bird."
College Girls’ Kisses
Classified by Author
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—“You can tell
by the way a young American girl re
ceives or gives a kiss what college she
has attended,” declares Emile Pes-
champB, the French author, in a chap
ter of his new book, entitled "Uncle
Sam's Women.” He writes:
“The best kisses come from Smith
College, although the Harvard Annex
girls prefer kisses 10 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 g*ve
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; i
instead of forcing it works naturally,
gently, but promptly. If not up
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,
