Just before the house adjourned,
Representative Conger of Decatur
introduced a resolution severely re-
buking Representative VIM for the
insult to the intelligence and decency
of the house of which he has been
guilty by his yenomous and ill-advised
remarks and conduct"
Representative Vim undertook to
defend himself. Speaker Holder in
terrupted him with the statement that
his remarks were out of order because
an ex-governor has as much right on
the floor as member of the house,
and that if he had known what Rep
resentative Vim was going to say
he would not have recognized him and

SLATON SLAPPED
FACE Of VIM

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 4.-Members of
the house and senate arc still discuss
ing, almost to the exclusion of all
other topics, the attack by Represen-
tative Vim, OF Hart, county, on
Ex-Governor John NJ Slaton for en-
tering the house of representatives
yesterday.
Representative Vim is the man
who opposed and flibustered against
the resolution at the outset of the
session indorsing President Wilson'S
stand against the German Empire
He was severely criticised in that
connection, but the criticisms uttered
against him for his attack on Ex-Gov-
ernor Slaton are tenfold more severe.
A dozen members of the house have
held no brief for Ex-Governor Sla-
ton, they would have demanded Rep
resentative Winn's immediate expul-
sion from the house if there was any
procedure they could follow.
The rules of the house extend the
privilege of the floor, among others,
to ex-governors of the state. When
Ex-Governor Slaton entered the
house on yesterday, Representative
Winn demanded the reading and en-
forcement OF Rule III. This is the
J rule prohibiting unauthorized per-
sons fom coming into the hall. Spec
tators frequently get through the
doors and a member demands the en-
forcement of the rule The fact that
an ex-governor is privileged to come
on the floor was apparently we'll
known to everybody except Repres-
entative VIM, so no attention was
paid to the reading of the rule so
far as Ex-Governor Slaton was con-
cerned.
After thirty minutes or such mat
ter, Ex-Governor Slaton left the hall.
As he was leaving, Representative
W1nn rose to question of personal
privilege and declared that he desired
to resent on behalf of every man
and woman in Georgia the insult Of
tered by certain individual who had
Just taken advantage of his privilege
to desecrate the house by his con-
temptible presence Before he could
proceed further, Speaker Holders ga
vel fell with crash and he ruled
Representative Winn out of order.
Representative Atkinson of Fulton
obtained recognition and moved, amid
general uproar, to expunge the re-

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES

you will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose a days work

that his remarks trespassed the rules
and trespassed the courtesy due his
fellow members. Representative
Vim then declared that he was sorry
if he had trespassed the courtesy due
his fellow members. Representative
Johnson Of Barlow interrupted him
with the proposal that his apolgy be
accepted and the Conger resolution
was withdrawn. Instantly there
were loud shouts of mo" throughout
the hall.
Continuing, Representative Winn
declared that to the extent of his tres

remarks, but nevertheless they were
deliberate expression of the feeling

ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Man Tells How to Shrivel
Up Corns or Calluses So They
lift Off With Fingers.

Ouch This kind OF
of rough talk will be heard less here
in town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
few drops of a drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching corn
or hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callus dries
up and lifts right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediate
ly and never inhames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bot
tie of freezone will cost very little
at any drug store, but will positively
remove every hard or soft corn OF
callus from ones feet. Millions OF
American women will welcome this
announcement since the Inauguration
of the high heels. Ii your druggist
doesn't have freezone tell him to or

NEGROES URGED

New York, N. Y.-'I know of
no law that precludes the Negro
citizens from enlisting in the Ma
rine Corps or the artillery or any
other branch, other than that un-
written law laid down by militar-
lists in the United States of the
German stripe" "
This sentence is taken from
letter written by Robert Lewis
Waring of this city to President
Wilson, urging, on behalf of the
II, 000,00 Negroes in this coun-
try, that he remove all restric-
tions that prevent them from en-
listing in any branch of the mill
tary service. Mr.. Waring be-
lieves that the President, as COM
mander-in-chief of the Nations
military forces, has the right, in
time of war, to open all branches
of that service to all American
citizens.
Although it may be said, !"
wrote Mr.. Waring, that the
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-ffth
Infantry and the Ninth and
Tenth Cavalry are open to my
people for enlistment, Negroes.
who are abrest of the
times are humiliated, outraged
that they must be held up TO the
world falsely as race of citizens
lacking courage enough to lead
in battle. Bless the hand that
will give me, and the thousands
like me, free hand to serve my
country as other men are per-
mitted to serve it. :"
