 During the hearing of the disbar- ment proceedings against Attorney Fred Fite some months ago. Morris ''ambulance chaser" for the defend ant. Fite was acquitted on the char ges. Under the law recently passed by the legislature, which pro- vdes that a committee of 21 law yers preside over hearings in which lawyers are charged with unethical practices, no provision is made for the trial of their alleged runners"

Chief Akin s New Uniform
 Real "City Hall Sensation"

1 two gold buttons on the coat alone that he had passed an order that the men of the fire department were to wear their uniforms all tue time while on duty. that the uniform and place of trust was something to be proud of and that as for himself, he was going to practice what he preached and wear his uniform rain or shine, fire or picnic. So that's that.
 Like Admiral Dewey when he re-
 turned from the Battle of Manila Bay, Chief Akin was allowed to choose his own uniform, he being at the top of the department in which he works. Chief Akin is six feet forr inches long and narrow in pro- portion and could easily pass, in his uniform with his extreme height, for King Haakron of Norway or any one of those boa constructor monarchs of the Scandinavian area.
 The chief is there, there need be no further discussion of that, there with buttons and a smartly cut out fit, the whole set off with cap with an insignia of nozzles rampant on a couchant argent background. what ever that might have been, and to make the long story short, he's the mole's monocle, plus.

LAW DISRE EGARDED BY REVENUE BOARD
 M 'LENDON STATES
BalI'S Open Letter To LegiS- IatorS Attacked In Note
 To Brewer

Continuing the county-city con- troversy regarding road funds and money declared owing to the city by the county, D.. E. McLendon, president of the city commission, Sat urday issued a statement in answer to one mada public last. Sunday by |. C. Ball, president of the Jeffer sol county board of revenue.
 In his statement MT. McLendon charges Mir. Ball and the majority of the board of revenue with resist ing payment to the cty of one-half of the 10 cent road tax collected in Birmingham and declares their position is absolutely untenable and indefensible.
 When the board of revenue, in the face of the law as plainly writ ten, deliberately declines to pay this money and misappropriates the city s money to some other purpose, such conduct shows an utter disregard for law" MT. McLendon says. His statement is in the form of an open letter to Senator Walter 8. Brow CT, Jefferson's senator. MT. Halls statement was an open letter to the Jefferson delegation in the legisla- ture.
 "The president of the board of revenue makes the startling state ment that of all persons cared for in the almshodse, the juvenile court, the Hiflman hospital and of all liti- gants in the county courts, exactly 90 per cent are residents of .Bir- mingham. We could hardly con- ceive that of the persons served by each of these separate institutions the percentage of Birmingham people would be exactly 96 per cent in each case. According to the cen SIS of 1920, Birmingham had a popu- lation of 1TS,270, and the outside county a population of 131,245.
 Us it not much more likely to be correct that the percentage of Birmingham people served by these institutions would bear some rela- tion to the ratio of population, or nearly half and half? The mere statement of these propositions shows that they are not based on statistics, but that they amount to nothing more than a bad guess on the part of the president or the board"
 Mir. McLendon also points out that the juvenile court grounds and building are worth easily S150,O0O and are let free of rent to the coun- ty, the fuel bill amounting to Sl,609 annually also being paid by the city:
 Birmineham's thirds load or the sa5 000,00 and $4,000,000 high way bonds issues should bring more than the S25O,0O0 which MT. Ball said the county was spending on city streets, according to MT. Mc- LenGon.

WYNN URGES JUDGESHIP
City Attorney Says Bill Should Re Passed For Law Endorsements Sake

Passage of the bill to create an additional judgeship for the cri,ni- nal division of the Jefferson county circuit court was urged in a stnte- ment issued Saturday by W. J. Wynn. city attorney. The measure is now pending in the legislature.
 Mir. Wynn declared the new judge ship will enable the judges to clear the docket of the great number of city appeal appeal cases which have been hanging fire for years and would tend to reduce appeals taken by about S5 per cent.
 In the interest of law enforce ment it is sincerely hoped that the legislature will see to it that this bill is enacted into law" Mir. Wynn con cluded.

WAYCROSS SETTLED
City Commissioners And Public
Service Corporation There
Come To Terms

WAYCROSS, Feb. 5.-The rate
hearing scheduled to have been held
in Waycross on February 6, on the
petition of the Waycross Consumers
Gas and Coke company, will not be
held, the city commissioners and the
officials of the company having
reached an agreement.
President Wagner, of the compa-
ny, was in the city Saturday and ap-
pearing before the city commission
ers stated that if the company could
secure the necessary cooperation
from the city, the bond holders of
the company would do without The
interest on their investment, and use
the money on permanent improve
NETS on the local plant.
Mr.. Wagner further pointed out
that it was not the intention of rhe
company to arbitrarily increase The
rates, that an increase in rates would
make it more difficult to secure new
customers, and that if the city would
agree to cooperate with the COM
pany in its efforts to put the com
pany' which is yonug, on paying
basis, it would not be necessary to
increase rates. The company fur
ther agreed to spend $500 immedi-
ately upon permanent improvements.
and to use the interest returns for
the next three years in like manner.
Inc city commissioners in a called
meeting expressed a willingness to
cooperate with the company in every
way possible, and passed the neces-
sary rsolution for the calling off of
the rate hearing.

TO TRY WOMAN ON
WITCHCRAFT CHARGE
New Jersey Delve Into Dusty Le-

Covering Unusual Case

GARFIELD, n. j., Feb. Sis the
practice of witchcraft possible in this
enlightened twentieth century?
Can the scary, terrifying magic
that brought the 'ducking STOOL to
many women in colonial times be
brought back in this modern day Of
scientific explanations of such So
called mysteries?
Recorder r. J. Baker here is dig
ging back through dusty statute
books in the hope of finding some
ancient precedent that will help him
out of his difficulty.
For Baker will preside at the trial
of Mrs. Antoinette Arnone, under ar
rest charged with being a disorderIy
person in pretending to use a
"crafty science" to help others out Of
trouble. If found guilty she will be
subject to a fine of 5000 or a sentence
of Ga days in Jail.
She denies the charges against her.
Yet many of her neighbors are super
stitious and they talk in frightened
tones of witches.

corder Baker. at has taken hold of
the foreign-born here until they won't

According to the complaint, this
woman was called in by the parents
of child stricken with paralysis.
Could she cure it? Some believed she
could-with a few mystic passes Of
her hand.
'To avoid further trouble and keep
the evil mind from casting its spell,
Mrs. Arnone, the complainants say,
gave each member OF the family a
charm. This consisted Of an herb, a
wad of old newspaper and bit of
cretonne. If worn around the neck,
there need be no further fear of i'll

For these services Mrs. Arnone is

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractiye, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell it has been ap-
piled. You just dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth'S Sage and Sulphur
Compound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica-
tions, it also brings back the gloss and
lustre. and gives it an appearance of
abundance,
