the report it can be seen that out
of this big county and in competi-
ton with such clubs as are main
tanned in Duluth, Hibbing, Virginia,
Eveleth and other places of much
greater population and at many
times the expense of the Ely club,
the Ely Commercial Club was
awarded the banner by the st.
Louis County Club, as the institu-

means far more than the people

Maine to California as a place where
it's Commercial Club functions.

SELMA, Sept, Several II

register kicks against the lighting
and power service being rendered
by the Alabama Power Company.
The troubles of the company seem
to be increasing rather than dimin-
ishing. Only a little rain or wind
storm is needed to put the service
out of commission, in fact, as one
consumer put it, little cloud, the
cize of a mans hand, will cause inc
current to go off. AS long as there
is no rain or wind, or any other
atmospheric disturbance the JUICE
seems to flow nicely, but just as soon
as there is a miniature blow of any
kind, out go the lights.
Two trunk lines into Selma are
needed and it is understood that in
time the company will construct an
other Independent transmission line
into this city.

Vote Against John 7. Boifeuillet
For Public Service Commissioner

For man to have held office
continuously for the past thirty-fve
years, as Honorable John 7. Boif-
euillet boasts of having done, with
never anything reflecting substan-
tial service in the various positions
he has held, in America and in Eu-
rope, don't you think it is time for
a change? He has been the recip-
lent of $30,OOO.00 in salary, with
interest at per cent since going
on the commission and | charge that
he has never done anything of sub
stantial value for the masses of
Georgia. On the contrary, he has
given his time almost exclusively to
newspaper work, for which he is
paid a handsome salary, in violation
of the law and his oath of office.
He has voted against placing TWEEN
ty-one hundred, small shipping points
in Georgia on an equal footing with
thirty-odd large shipping points in
Georgia, which, had his views pre-
vailed, would have resulted in great
loss and handicap in the way Of
growth to the rural sections of
Georgia. 1t has been within his
power since last January to have
joined others and lowered rates on
fertilizers and pulverized lime
stone, for agricultural purposes, if
he cared to do so, with the result
that countless thousands of dollars
would have been saved the farm
ers of Georgia on the 1924 crops.
