PUBLIC POWER
BILL IS. KILLED
Senate Refuses to Let
People Develop Own
Streams

ATLANTA, Aug. 1O-Defeat Of
the water power" bill which has
been so strongly advocated by the
municipal League came just before
the Georgia senate adjourned Mon
day Afternoon, when the upper
house by a vote of 27 to 16 voted
to disagree to the report of the com
mittee which was favorable to the
passage of the bill.
The measure was introduced in the
senate by Senators Doris, Rabun.
Smith, Kea, Duncan, and Olive and
was companion of a bill creating
a hydro-electric power commission
for the state, which was tabled i'm
mediately after the defeat of the first
water power" bill.
The bill provided for an amend
ment to the constitution which would
allow counties and municipalities to
exceed the constitutional limitation
of per cent of the assessed valua-
tion for bonded Indebtedness for the
purpose of issuing bonds to be used
in purchasing and operating either by
negotiation or condemnation, public
railways, or plants for the genera
tion, distribution and sale of electric
and other heat. This bond issue was
to be made upon the approval of two
thirds of the voters actually voting
in an election called for this purpose
Debate on the bill was warm but
was held down to comparatively
short time on account of the congest-
ed condition of the calendar at this
late date. Charges of socialism and
of "killing the hen that lays the gold
en- egg" were made by the opponents
of the measure. These were Senator
Barrett of the Thirty-first and Glenn
of the Forty-third. Those speaking for
the measure were Senators Smith, of
the Ninth; Kea of the Sixteenth !;
Pittman, of the Forty-second, and
Rabun of the Seventh.
The roll call on the motion to agree
to the report of the committee favor
able to the passage of the bill was as
follows:
Ayes-Senators, Brooks, Duncan,
Elders, Flint, Harbin, Kaigler, Kea,

Annihilation

LONDON, August 10N-'T am still
hopeful for peace" were Premier
Lloyd Georges opening words in
Commons today, regarding the Rus
so-Polish crisis.
The House of Commons was
crowded and the tension high in an
ticipation of the premier's peace or
war; statement. He was warmly
cheered as he entered the chamber.
Krassin and Kameneff, of the~Rus-
sian Soviet delegation here, were in
the strangers gallery.
Premier Lloyd George declared the
Polish attack on Russia was not JUS
titled and the Soviet government, in
the conditions of peace, is entitled
to take into account the fact that at
tacks were made by the Poles upon
Russia, and that those attacks were
delivered despite the warnings of the
Allies to Poland. He declared, how
ever, that Russia was not justified
in any retaliation, reprisals or pun
ishment which goes to the extent of
wiping out Poland's national exis-
tence,"

The sensation of the year in the

thoritatively guaranteed by the labora-
tories; tested approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by
the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock
and rye, or any other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried. -
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass. With your
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like dream
within the time limit. Don be bash
full, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it. Everybody s
doing it. . q
When your cold or cough is re-
lieved, take the remainder of the bottle
home to your wife and babies, for
Aspironal is by far the safest and most
| effective, the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy
