PROHrs HARMONIOUS
AFTER HOUSE CLEANING
EICHELBERGER SAYS HE
WILL STARTLE STATE
IN ANNOUNCEMENT

Atlanta, Ga, July 8-Dr. G. w.
Eichelberger, superintendent of
the Georgia Anti-Saloon league
declared Friday morning that
harmony prevails throughout the
organization since its recent
house-cleaning," by which he
meant the withdrawal from the
league of its law enforcement
committee, consisting of W..
Woods White, E. c. Galloway,
w. 5. Witham and T. B. Fielder.
AT the proper time | will make
full and complete statement that
will startle the state" said DR..
Eichelberger.
The Anti-Saloon league is bet
ter organized today than ever be-
fore, has more departments, has
entirely adequate financial back
ing, and harmony prevails
throughout its ranks Since the re-
cent housekeeping.
Fight Savannah Bill
The league, of course, will con-
tinue to fight the Savannah char
ter bill. | would like to know who
started the report to the contrary.
The commonwealth has given
more space to attacking the bill
than any other paper in the state"
DIR. Eichelberger would not 90
INTO details concerning the report
that the league was dissatisfied
with Thomas B. Fielder, its attor-
ney, becasue he entered into a
certain understanding with the
brewers which would permit
them to manufacture soft drinks
without being prosecuted.
Mr.. Fielder was disinelined to
be interviewed Friday morning.
He said, however, when asked
about the report, that the mem
bers of the house who led the
hight for the prohibition bills in
inc capacity OF steering commit
tee will not take a leading part in
the fight on the Savannah char
ter bill in the house, that the Sa-
vannah charter hill is not yet be-
tore the house and no house com
mittee has been selected, and he
expressed the opinion that the BILL
will not be passed by the senate!
Mr.. Fielder refused to have any
thing to say with regard to the
report concerning the mantifac

and, as an illustration, the Com
mission cited the statement of the
General Superintendent of Mo-
tive Power Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad who lessened the cost of
building locomotives between
1908 and 1913, although the rate
OF wages increased nearly 40 per-
cent.
The official utterances of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
answer authoritatively, questions
raised by the railroads in their op-
position to the present movement
of the railway Brotherhoods for
an eight-hour work day for en-
ployes in freight train service.
These questions have been rails
ed by the railroads and, by the
roads through the U. S. Chamber
OF Commerce, solely to confuse
and perpleX the public mind and
in an endeavor to prevent the
American people from securing a
clear perspective of a shorter
work day, for some $4,000 train
employees.
Railroad officials we'll know
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has no power to fix
the rate of wages after an iflves-
t1gation of the subject and the

ture OF soft drinks by brewers.
Jackson After Eichelberoer

Another angle to the split in the
prohibition forces developed Fri
day when Marion Jackson, well
known reformer, in his paper,
The Way" took some hot shots
at DIR. Eichelberger.
DIR. Eichelberger was criticised
tor having written editorials in
his paper, The Commonwealth, )"
commencing Andy King, the
chairman of the Atlanta police
board, and suggesting him as a
hne man for mayor Of the CITY of
Atlanta.
The Way" referred to King as
the man, who headed the board
which denoted Police Chief Bea-
vers, and it charged that Beavers
was fired because he sought to en-
force the prohibition laws.
DIR. Eichelberger was also tax.
en- to task for having written an
editorial giving equal commenda,
ton to Governor Harris, DR.. L
u. Hardman and Joseph f. Pottle
as prohibitionists, and eclarinQ
that the Anti-Saloon league
should not support one against
the other, but on the contrary
should allow the prohibitionists
to make their own choice between
the three.
It was further charged in this
article, which was headed "Mis.
takes of Mr.. Eichelberger," that
he had sought to convince the
ministers of Atlanta that the beer
formerly sold in Atlanta was not
Intoxicating and that the prohibi-
ton law was being enforced here
The editorial winds up with the
statement: Or. Eichelberger has
blundered."

TO THE VOTERS OF THE
THIRD CONGRESSION-
AL DISTRICT

hereby respectfully announce
my candidacy for reelection as
your Representative in the Sixty
Fifth (65) Congress, subject to
the Primary to be held Septem-
Der II.
During the short time I have
been your congressman, l have
sincerely endeavored to serve you
faithfully, and if my efforts and
record meet with your approval, |
will feel greatly honored and pro-
foundry grateful if you will give
me your support in the coming
election. Congress has been in
almost continuous session since
you elected me, and duty required
me to stay here, which prevent
ed me from visiting you as often
as | wished. The Ways and
Means Committee is now daily
working on a Revenue measure;
being on that committee, I must
remain here until the new tax law
is passed.. AS soon as Congress
adjourns, or before then, if public
business will permit me to leave,
| expect to canvass the District,
meet the people personally, and
talk to them face to face, both in
dividaully and on the stump.
If reelected, I promise to dis
charge the duties of the great Of
flee with fidelity, and to the best
of my ability.
From the depths of my heart I
thank you for your past kindness
to me.

DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result in
neuralgia, stiff neck, sore muscles
or sometimes an attack of rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
liniment. 1t stimulates circulation to
the sore and painful part. The blood
flows freely and in short time the
stiffness and pain leaves. Those suf-
fering from neuralgia or neuralgia
headache will find one or two appli-
cations Of Sloan's liniment will give
grateful relief. The agonizing pain
gives way to tingling sensation Of
comfort and warmth and quiet rest
and sleep is possible. Good for neu-
ritis too. Price 25c at your drug

Shorthorns at the present time OF
any breeder in Somerset county. He
also has a large herd of nice looking
high-grade cows and heifers. Mr..
Adams herd was shown at the Cen
trail Maine and Maine State Fairs last
season. where he figured quite con-
spicuously in the premium list, re-
ceiving the blue ribbon in the COW
class at both places, also the blue on
three-year- heifers. He still re-
tains both of these animals. and they
are looking particularly well this
winter. For the past two seasons,
Mr.. Adams has been breeding from a
low-built, solid red bull, bred by c.
II. Chapman, a son of Grand View
Dimond 333423. and a grandson of
the noted international champion
dairy COW, Jewel. Mr. Adams farm
is located very close to the line of

Whisky! NO.
NOT FOR RHFUMAHCS

Don't drink whiskey if you have
rheumatism, and be sure and keep
your feet warm and dry, and drink
plenty of lemonade.
This advice. says an authority, is
helping; but as all know who have
suffered, rheumatism is stubborn
disease and yields only to a remedy
mighty enough to conquer it.
Many doctors have prescribed and
hundreds of helpful druggists have
advised a half teaspoonful of Rheuma
once a day, because they know that
powerful Rheuma. harmless as 1t is.
acts with speed and oyereomes in a
few days the most torturing case OF
rheumatism or sciatica.
Try Rheuma; G. II. Fogg and all
druggists sell lots of it and will re-
turn your money if two 50-cent bot
ties do not stop all rheumatic misery.

that's all there is to it just apply
it and don't fuss with bandages.
1t relieves all pain, banishes dis
comforts and removes the corn
when you've forgotten you ever
had one. There is absolutely no
danger OF infection-it is thor
oughly antiseptic-forms a coat

lieves the pain following pressure
