ALBANY UNDER
DUAL SYSTEM
With New Measure Rejected And
Old System Ratified, City Now
Has Both Forms

ALBANY, Dec. 6.-Albany voters
at t1e polls Monday rejected com
mission-city manager government
and a bill which had for its object
the separation of the city board of
education from the county board,
with the new city board composed
of seven members, one from each
of the five wards and two from the
city at large, at least two of whom
were to be women. The majority
against the commission government
bill was 284, and against the school
board bill, BIT. Nearly 2,1O0 votes
were polled, the heaviest number
ever cast in a general election here.
The campaign was marked by intense
partisan rancor which largely obscur-
ed the merits or dement's of the pro-
posed measures. Only week be-
forehand, a white primary, three
candidates for city councilmen, or
commissioners if the bill had been
ratified, were nominated and of the
three winners was an outspoken ad-
vocate of the commission plan.
Despite the vote against the meas
ures, they will both go into effect,
temporarily at least Under pro-
vision of each, as it was passed by
| the legislature, each became auto
matically ratified unless a majority
of the registered qualified voters op
posed it. There were more than
1900 qualified voters on the lists
and neither received a majority of
| this number against it. Both bills
will be repealed at the next session
of the legislature, according to Rep.
resentative-elect w. H. Burt, who
defeated Representative w. H. Beck
ham, co-author of the bills, on thai
issue. Mr. Burt pledged himself tt
leave any of the bills undisturbec
which received a majority of the
votes actually cast, but to repea
those failing to receive a majority
of the votes cast.
Under this peculiar set of circum
stances, Albany will have commits
sion-city manager government unit
probably next July, and afterwafd!
will revert to the old plan. 1t has
been suggested that, since "a compe
tent city manager could hardly be
induced to take employment of such
limited duration, an injunction
against instituting the change be
sought in the courts. and there has
| b1en some iptimation that the pro
ceedings might be arranged in a
friendly manner. ...s.- 50.

PEACH TREES ARE NOW
READY FOR SCALE SPRAY

FORT VALLEY, Dec. 6-The kill
ing frosts and light freezes of the
past week have matured the wood
and hardened the past seasons
growth of peach trees. The say has
descended, and the defoliated
branches and twigs have changed
from the greenish red to the dark
red color. This is a good indica-
tion that the wood is in condition
for receiving the caustic scale spray,
and peach growers are advised to
apply it as soon as practicable. The
spray can now be used without dam
ger of injury to the new wood of the
past seasons growth. 1t will be re-
membered that Ia considerable
amount of twig injury resulted
year ago from applying scale spray
before cold weather had properly
hardened the wood.
There has been marked increase
in the San Jose scale infestation on
peach trees in most section of Geor-
gia during the past tow years, and
orchardists are urgently advised to
make a special effort this year to
thoroughly apply the spray, and to
make the application Immediately. A
second application juts before the
budS Swell in the spring should be
inadessto the trees tnat show very
heavy iiifestatien. One 81 part of
liquid linfeh lphnr testing 80 de-
grces Baume should be used to eight
PARTS of water.

TRY SULPHUR ON
AN ECZEMA SKIN
Costs Little and OveFcomes
Trouble Almost Over
Night

Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying Mentho- Sulphur,
declares a noted skin specialist. Be-
cause Of its germ destroying properties,
this sulphur preparation instantly brings
ease from skin irritation, soothes and
heals the eczema right up and leaves
the skin clear and smooth.
1t seldom fails to relieve the torment
without delay. Sufferers from skin
trouble should obtain a small jar of
Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any
good druggist and use it like cold
cream.
