Horace Prior of Jacksonville, a
former prominent citizen of this coun-
ty, was in Palatka yesterday on his
way to Lake Como, where he still
owns valuable orange grove property.
Mr.. Prior is known to all old citizens
of the county as a democrat in whom
there is no variableness, neither shad-
ow of turning. In the old conven-
ton days he was always On hand and
his voice was always for a united
party. He was a member of the last
State Democratic Convention as a
delegate from Putnam county. A
little later he got ambitious for wealth
and was Iured to Jacksonville, where
he engaged in business, and being a
trustfuI soul, his customers got the
wealth, and Horace got it in "the
neck" But he's the same old demo-
cratic scout, and keeps up an inter-
est in the people by reading The Pa
latka News and the Baptist Witness.
DR.. E. S. Grill made his first visit
to the bank on Wednesday since he
was stricken ill some two months ago.
lie came down in an automobile with
his physician, DR.. A. M. Steen, and
had a visit with all the clerks in the
bank who rushed out to see him. He
made some inquiries as to how every
thing was progressing and told them
all that he hoped to be with them
again soon. The doctor looks well
and is gaining strength daily. In
fact there is little difference in his APP
pearance from when he last left his
business, except that he has lost some
in averdUpoise, which he could well
afford to spare. He has seen but few
visitors by order of DR.. Steen; not
that he didn't want to see them. "He
takes a lively interest in Palatka af-
fairs and makes frequent inquiries
concerning his old friends" said DR..
Steen, but until he gains in strength
he ought not to see many people.
George f. Gay went out and called on
the doctor last Sunday by request
and says he had good visit, and
that the doctor talked much of his
old friends down town and said he
would soon be with them again.

have. I now see that the city commis- sioners announce in this mornings paper that they will not sign this contract with the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company because the price of this by-product gas is too high at 55 cents and the quality too low. This, of course, entirely vindicates me. and approves the position I alone took on this subject in the press.
 But my object in writing this letter is not to reflect credit on anything I have done in this matter, but rather to say that it seems to me extremely important that private citizens should take more interest in all public affairs and should not hesitate to express themselves on questions of public policy through the public press, and further I wish to say that it is my opinion that the prices we are now paying for gas and electricity are entirely too high. and if there is any possible way for the public to be relieved of these prices it is my idea that we should insist upon the city commission CTS finding that way and putting remedial measures into effect at once
 My reason for thinking that the prices charged for electricity are too high is that am informed that the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power,company now buys it's current from the Alabama Power com pany for E cent per kilowat, and for which same current We now pay then 10 cents per kilowat. This looks like the

Has Captain Hobson ever digested rule No. of the House of Represent tatives?
 That query is propounded in the fol- lowing card issued by Forney John ston, manager of the Underwood cam paign committee:
 If the Hobson literary bureau can stop biting itself long enough to an- swer a question, I would be glad to have them ask the captain to tell the people of Jefferson county whether he has ever read the following little rule of conduct adopted by the House of Representatives:
 Rule VIII l. Every member
 shall be present within the hall of the House during its sittings, un-
 less excused or necessarily pre-

 section 40 of the jrevised statutes prohibiting the sergeant at arms from paying the salary of congressmens who are absent for their private purposes did not define the post of duty" which IS so bitterly scorned by the Monette- Palnter-Musgrove band of "Advance' thinkers. Accordingly, Captain Hobson the gypsy chief of that interesting group of fortune tellers. put his own construction on the location of his "post of duty and has made that poor old post look like witchs broom on the move.

 Many of the shops have engaged living models to appear in the store and show off to best advantage the newest in spring styles.

 Indicative of the interest that Fashion Week in Birmingham is attracting abroad came yesterday in a telegram addressed to the secretary of the Business Men S league.

No descrip- tions of her apparel was forthcoming but her general appearance is: Blue eyes, f1orid complexion, rather slender and has very gracious manner. Miss Fashion tomorrow will be dressed in the height of fashion, although she will not be con spicuous or gaudy She says she is so- lciting no votes for any political candi- dates, but that she did want the vote of the public insofar as its good will con stitute a vote. She is campaigning for the best interest of Birmingham and will be glad to meet everybody.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Gas and Electric Rates

10 the Euitor or The Age-Herald:
 do not doubt that the public gen. erally will remember that the daily press of February 1 and 2 contained state- ments that the city commissioners were sure to close a deal with the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company for by-product gas at a minimum rate of 55 cents per 1000 to supplant the present contract Tor 90-cent gas. On February 5 my letter to the commissioners appeared in the daily press objecting to the signing of this agreement until the matter had been investigated more thoroughly by the people and the city, and pointing out the fact that one city in the United States about the size of Birmingham had been presented with 45-cent gas voluntarily on the part of the producers. although the gas was produced just as our gas is now produced, and at a greater expense on account of longer coal haul than we

"RHUBARAL" GIVES QUICK RELIEF ID
 AFFLICTED MAN

 other Sufferer
TRUTH MADE KNOWN
Remarkable Endorsements Given by Birmingham People Cause
 Comment

Not a day passes but another Birming- ham citizen praises the tonic medi- cine and general health builder-"Rhu- baral"-which is now being introduced in the city. The latest to add his name to the long list of indorsers of this prep aration is MT. J. c Hawkins of sos North 1wenty-first street. Mir. Hawkins says:
 "I was half sick, tired all the time, with no energy or ambition and with my stomach and liver out of order This condition caused me to be nervous and seemed to drain my strength until I was in a continual state of lassitude.
 Some days ago I began taking 'Rhu- bara1 and must pronounce it an ideal remedy for these troubles, for it has en- tirely relieved my misery and I am glad in this way to let other ailing ones know of it."
 filling people can test "Rhubarar free al the Averyt central drug store at 109 North Twentieth street. where the health expert sent here to introduce the remedy is giving those who wish it small test doses to see just what this medicine will do for them. The symptoms of modern ailments which "Rhubarar quickly re- lieves are many, according to the health expert. These troubles usually start with a fullness after eating, slight headaches, depression, dizziness, poor appetite, weak memory and susceptibility to colds The tongue becomes coated and the complex ion sallow and often so-called kidney and liver troubles manifest themselves. These are usually due to a deranged stomach and bowels and it is for these conditions that "Rhuharal' was invented.
 This remedy is guaranteed to relieve such troubles and Is pleasant and harm- less to take. The daily statements of Birmingham people have brought "Rhu- baral'' in the limelight and thousands of Iopa1 nenn1a . ra tal lyipc for l,oir
