N TOBACCO (jsto) oyr*-** WHO IN THIS NEW ATHANTA ASSAILANT OF STATE OFFICIALS? For the information of those who have read an article sent out from Atlanta to the press of the State, over the signature of E. X. Huff, assailing the integrity of the members of the Railroad Commis sion of Georgia, also the public utilities of the State; and so that the public may draw its own con elusions as to the reliability and re sponsibility of L. X. Huff, below is republished a card which originally appeared in the Atlanta Journal. The absence of Eloyd Woodward from Atlanta at this time is unfor tunate for the advocates of Munic ipal Ownership. He would proba bly also advocate the abolition of the Criminal Courts as well as the Railroad Commission: Atlanta,Ga., Jail. 26th, 1921. “Editor, The Atlanta Journal, “In your issue of January 16th you published a card from Dr. L. X. Huff about the recent gas rate hearing before the Railroad Com mission of < leorgia. “Any one who was present at this hearing would not recognize the case from Dr. Hull's newspaper presentation of it. Asa matter of fact, if was perfectly plain to all those present that licit her I,'r. Hull nor his lawyers had any under standing of the case, and his card t l ies still flirt her to fool flic people of the State. Hull didn’t put up any witnesses, but the questions his lawyers asked tin Company's witnesses displayed such a total ignorance of the subject mailer as to make Dr. Huff the butt for the ridiculc of I he audience. “1 am surprised to see Dr. Huff in tiis card, making ‘pretensions of public decency.’ Probably he thinks that the people of this town have forgotten his criminal and other court record in Atlanta. Why doesn't he tell them about a suit that J. Kahn brought against him in the Superior Court of Kul ton County in August, 1919. Kahn accused Huff with conspiring with Hofised and another party, to dc fraud him in a gambling game; that in pursuance of this conspira cy they invited him to a room in the Princeton Hotel on Augusl 29th, 191.9, and gave him a drink of liquor, which he alleges had been drugged, aud—that he was made drunk and sick and mentally irresponsible; that while he was in this condition they got him to join in a game of craps and took all the money he had: that L. N. Huff got about $200.00 of his money. L. N. Huff was found guilty in the Crim inal Court of Atlanta and fined $250.00 for his part of the crap game, and in addition to that L. N. Huff (laid J. Kahn the sum of $200.00 in settlement of the suit above mentioned, which was the full amount Kahn claimed that Huff got away from him. On this record I don't think that Dr. i>. X. Huff has any license to talk about public decency, for certainly he doesn't know what it is. “Yours very truly, “If. M.

SOUR STOMACH Thedford’s Black-Draught Highly Recommended by a Tennessee Grocer for Troubles Re* suiting from Torpid Liver. East Nashville, Tenn.— The effic iency of Thedford’s Black-Draught, the genuine, herb, liver medicine, la vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a grocer of this city. “It is without uoubt the best liver medicine, and I don’t believe I could get along without it. I take it for sour stomach, head ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all other troubles that are the result of a torpid liver. “I have known and used It for years, and can and do highly recommend it to every one. I won’t go to bed with out it in the house. It will do all it claims to do. I can’t say enough for It.” Many other men and women through out the country have found Black- Draught just as Mr Parsons describes —valuable in regulating the liver to its normal functions, and in cleansing the bowels of impurities. Thedford’s Black-Draught liver medi -tne Is the original and only genuine. Accept no imitations or substitutes. Always ask for Thedford’s. g, gj NEW SPRING AND_SIJMMER MILLINERY.
