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.

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
