Secretary Moore and Attorney
' .
Wimbish to Combat Southern
Classification Petition,
Dissatisfied with the sweeping and
drastic intrastate regulations asked
by the railroads of Georgia in their
petition to the State Railroad Com
mission, shippers of Atlanta and the
State, through the Atlanta Freight
Bureau, are preéparing Wednesday to
make a determined fight to prevent
adoption of the freight tariffs pro
posed in the petition, the most volu
minous ever filed with the commis
siom.
Harry Moore, secretary of the
freight bureau, announced that Colo
nel W. A, Wimbish, who represented
Southeastern shippers before the Im
terstate Commerce Commission dur
ing hearings that resulted in_the re
cent revision of interstate rates in
this territory, had been retained to
lead the fight before the Georgia
commission,
Colonel Wimbish- was preparing
Wednesday to make an exhaustive
study of the new rates, which are in
accord with the Southern classifica
tion, on a “long and short haul” clause
of the Federal commission’s ruling,
which went into effect January 1 last.
The scope of the proposed schedules
is s 0 sweeping that it is declared re
vision will be made on practically
every commodity transported in Geor=
gia, and that the higher rates will af
fect practically every city, town and
hamlet in the State.
Attorney Inspects

Veteran of Civil War Was After-|
wards Leader in Atlanta |
Financial World. i
The funeral of Christopher Colum- |
bus McGehee, 76, retired business;
leader, who died Tuesday night at (he
home, No. 675 Peachtree street, will
be held there Wednesday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock, and the body will be
sent to Columbus for interment in tae
family lot. X i
Mr. McGehee was widely known in
Ggorgia and the South. He had beenl
confined to his home with rheumatisin
for about five years.
Mr. McGehee was born October 25,
1839, in Russell County, Alabama. thel
son of Isaac McGehee and Martha|
Harrison Kennon McGehee. His fa-!
ther was a leading planter. He en- |
tered the Confederate army at the
opening of the war as a member of
the City Light Guard of Columbus.
This company was ordered to Nm'ru'?\,‘
Va., on April 19, 1861, and with the |
Macon Volunteers, the Floyd Rifles
and the Spalding Grays it composad
the Second Georgia Battalion. For a
vear Mr. McGehee fought in this com- |
mand in Virginia and North Carolina.
and remained with the companv
throughout, serving as local paymas- |
ter of the Confederate States Navul
Iron Works at Columbus near thol
close of the war, when he contrac‘ed
typhoid fever. |
The employees of this concern!|
formed the Naval Iron Works Bat-|
talion, and Mr. McGehee was made |
captain. This command opposed Gen- ‘
eral Sherman in his march to the sca
and defended Columbus against raild
ing parties under General Wilson.
In April, 1865, when General Wilson
and his raiders captured Columbus, a
conspicuous service was rendered by
Captain McGehee, in charge of one of
the companies of the Naval Iren
Works. He was ordered to destr \I
the lower bridge at Columbus. This
was done’ under terrific fire from ‘.hnl
Federal troops, and so courageousiy
and successfully accomplished that it'
resulted in his subseguently being
brevetted major.
When the war closed, Mr. McGeheo
organized the cotton firm of Flournoyv
& McGehee, and later the cotton firin
of McGehee & Hatcher. He was a
director of several business concerns.
and for one term was chairman of the
Finance Committee of the Columbus
City Council.
On January 16, 1866, Mr. McGehoee
married Miss Josephine Garreit,
daughter of Daniel A. Garrett. He re
tired in 1882 and removed to Atlanta
for his wife's health. Soon afli
er he came here he organized \hp|
Traders Bank, with James R. Wyiie
and W. J. Van Dvke., and was ‘ts|
first president. This bank was the|
foundation of the present Fourth .\'a-‘
tiona! Bank. Mr. McGehee for man.
Vvears was president of the Atla‘na‘

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.
Rheumitism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known author
ity. We are advised to dress warmly,
keep the feet dry, avoid exposure, eat
less meat, but drink plenty of good
water.
Rheumatism is a 2 direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid, which is
absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the Kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the hlood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cald weather the skin pores are clos
ed, thus forcing the Kkidneyvs to deo
double work; they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate the
uric acid which keeps accumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles, causing stiffness, soreness
and pain, called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts: put a table
spoonful in a glass of water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week. This is sald to eliminate uric
acld by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which helps overcome uric acid and is
beneficial to your Kidneys as well.—

ful, and If it doesn't straighten you
right up and make you feel fine and
vigorous, I want you to go back to t'e
store and get your money. Dodsoa's
Liver Tone is destroying the sale of
calomel, because it is real liver med!.
cine; entirely vegetable, therefore it
can not salivate or make you sick.

! When a cold grips your system it
shows that your condition is weak

not trust your strength to throw it
off, because neglected colds have
brought more sickness than any
other one thing, while weakening
cathartics and stimulating syrups
' are depressing and dangerous.
| The one best treatmént for any
| cold—the one so often relied on when
others fail, is the powerful blood

bodily strength to suppress the
| present cold and generate strength to
thwart further sickness.

STRICTLY PRIVATE
Farmers Complain
ers vomplam
That provisions of the Georgia pure‘
food and drug law work a hardship |
to farmers, because of its regulatiunf
of the sale of poisons, is the basis of
a complaint made to the State l)e-i
partment of Agriculture, which has
passed the matter up to Attorney
General Walker for a ruling on the
law.
The complaint was brought about’
by a wholesale merchant near Sa
vannah who had purchased formal
dehyde to sell to his customers. Dr.
T. A. Cheatham, State Drug Inspect
or, discovered this action and notified
the merchant that the formaldehyde
could not be sold except by a licensed
drug store,
This is saig to affect many farmers,
because muny times their purchase of
bug poisons and other eliminants of
insect life would involve them in con
siderable inconvenience if they had
to visit a drug store to get the insec
ticide.
