J. HAR™
Candidate for the
United States Senate
The Man of the Hour, and Why
William J. Harris was born in Ce-
dartown, Polk county, Georgia, Feb
ruary 3, 1863. He was educated in
the common schools of Polk county
and the University of Georgia, teach
ing school during the summer to pro
vide means for his college training.
In 1895, he married Miss Julia Whee
ler, daughter of Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
the distinguished Southern cavalry-
leader. Mr. Harris has three brothers
now serving in the United States
Army, Gen. P. C. Harris, Maj. Seals
Harris and Capt. Hunter Harris. Many-
young men have been beneficiaries
of Mr. Harris' aid in obtaining an edu
cation to equip them for life’s work.
Political Service.
As Chairman of the Polk County
Democratic Executive Committee, he
succeeded in establishing the "white
primary,’’ in 1892.
As private secretary to Senator A.
S. Clay, and under the training of this
distinguished Georgian, Mr. Harris be
gan, in early life, to look after the
interests in Washington of Georgians
from every section.
In 1912 Mr. Harris managed Presi
dent Wilson's first campaign in Geor
gia; was elected chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, and played prominent part in roll
ing up the largest majority Georgia
ever gave a candidate for President.
Legislative Service.
Mr Harris represented the 38th dis
trict in the state senate in 1911-12, and
there worked and voted for every
measure that wouid help the farmers
and benefit the taxpayers of the state.
Some of these include:
• (1) Mr. Harris introduced and aid
ed jn the passage of the bill abolish
ing the unlimited fees of oil inspec
tors, and fixing their maximum salary
at $100 per month. This law has
saved the state thousands of dollars.
In 1917 alone, it saved the state net,
$182,588.
12) Mr. Harris introduced and pass
ed the bill requiring lobbyists to reg
ister, thereby eliminating the grafting,
professional lobbyist, and protecting
legislation.
(3) Mr. Harris advocated the sepa
rate leasing of the W. & A. Railroad
from the other state property in Chat
tanooga, a policy since adopted by the
"Lease Commission."
(41 Personally, Mr. Harris has al
ways been a consistent prohibitionist,,
and has always supported all measures
looking to freeing the state from the
liquor traffic.
National Service.
As director of the United States Cen
sus, to which he was appointed by
President Wilson, officials today say
that Mr. Harris was the most efficient
director since the bureau was estab
lished. The chief “criticism” against
his administration, made by Judge
Hughes, Republican nominee for Presi
dent, was that he appointed so many
Georgia Democrats to positions in the
department.
President Wilson appointed Mr. Har
ris acting secretary of commerce, in
the absence of Secretary Redfield, and
cordially approved bis services and ef
ficiency as a temporary member of the
cabinet. •
Under Republican rule the Wall
street gamblers were permitted to keep
down the price of cotton by ineluding
in the. census estimate the number of
bales of linters cotton. Mr. Harris had
the linters estimate separated from
the regular cotton reports, which re
duced the estimates and tended to
raise the price of cotton. During Re
publican rule, it was freely charged
that there were “leaks" in cotton esti
mates of the census bureau. Not once
since the administration of Mr. Harris
has there been the slightest suspicion
of a “leak" in the census reports.
In the census bureau, Mr. Harris
changed the “age limit,” fixed by the
Republicans, sb that Confederate Vet
erans could be given the same oppor
tunities as Union Veterans; and many
old Confederate Soldiers are now hold
ing good places in the department. It
was in keeping with his devotion to
the old soldiers. His father was a
brave Confederate Veteran, and his
father-in-law was the gallant “Little
Joe” Wheeler.
Promoted by the President.
Due to Mr. Harris’ efficient adminis
tration of the census bureau. President
Wilson promoted him by appointing
him a member of the federal trade
board. Recognizing his ability, his
colleagues, two years later, elected him
chairman of the board. Resigning to
enter his campaign for United States
senator as the loyal supporter of Pres
ident Wilson in winning the war, as
against the present junior senator from
Georgia, Mr. Harris carried with him
the love, esteem, confidence and best
wishes of his colleagues, the depart
ment heads and the President who had
further expressed his confidence in Mr.
Harris by the following additional ap
pointments:
(1) Appointed by the President as
member of the price fixing committee
of the w-ar industries board, to fix
prices for army supplies. When New
England manufacturers endeavored to
fix the price of cottoh, Mr. Harris op
posed them most, vigorously. He also
brought charges against the “bagging
trust’’ which is now facing trial.
(2) The President named the sec
retary of agriculture, Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Harris a committee of three to In
vestigate the advisability of the gov
ernment taking over the meat packing
houses. The President’s confidence
was further expressed w-hen Mr. Har
ris resigned, by the request that he
name his own successor, and Mr. Har
ris named Hon. Victor Murdoch.
The Confidence of Mr. Wilson.
Further indicative of the confidencr
of President Wilson in Mr. Harris,
the following conclusion of the Prc
dent’s letter accepting his resignat
from the federal trade commission
run for the United States senate:
“May I not say how warmly I hav
appreciated the way in which you have
performed the difficult and often deli
cate duties assigned to you in the
trade commission? I am sure that
I am expressing the general feeling
when I express my regret at your
withdrawal.
“Cordially and sincerely yours,
“WOODROW WILSON.
“Hon. William J. Harris,
“Federal Trade Commission.”
Mr. Harris’ Qualifications.
Mr. Harris is in close touch with
conditions at the national capitol. His
relations with the administration are
intimate. He has the confidence and
esteem of the President and depart
ment heads. Through these relations
he is in better position to represent
Georgia in the United States senate—
her people, her commercial, financial
and agricultural interests and to ren
der effective aid and service to Geor
gia soldier and sailor boys, fighting
for Americanism and Democracy,—
than probably any other Georgian now
in the public eye. Mr. Harris’ elec
tion will mean that the good name
of Georgia will be redeemed from the
charge of disloyalty and “kalseriem”
with which it has been stained by the
misrepresentation of the recent past,
Mrs. Burns’ Letter.
Here is a letter othat is certain t
pi ove of interest to people in this
vicinity, as cases of this sort occur in
almost every neigliorhood, and people
should know what to do in like cir
cumstances:
Savannah, Mo., Oct. 12,1916.
“I used a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy about
line years ago and it cure me of flux
(dysentery) 1 had another -attack of
the- same complaint some three or
four years ago and a few doses of this
remedy cured me. I have recom
mended Chamberlain’s Colic and Diar
rhoea Remedy to dozens of people
since I first used it.”

Taking Zlroa Iron Tonic.
In a recent statement, J. H. Martin
of Mount Vernon, Ga., says:
“I was In the hospital with Btomach
trouble and had quite a siege. It
seemed I would never get my strength
back after I came ogt, I had been so
ill. I ached all over. I was nervous,
restless and yet did not feel like get
ting around. My skin was yellow. My
appetite poor. I was in pretty bad
shape and began to look around for a
tonic. I felt like part of the trouble
was lack of Iron In my blood. I was
so easily worried, so easily upset. I
heard of Ziron and knew it would help
me. I began to take It and the Im
provement was great. It etrength-
ened me, renewed my nerves and
toned up my system.”
When you feel that you need
strength, remember that Ziron is a
perfected preparation of iron salts,
combined with other strsngth-glvlng
ingredients. Try Ziron.

Most Powerful of 8nakes.
One of the most difficult reptiles to
capture is the regal python, also a na
tive of India, that giant snake that
measures as long as 80 feet In extreme
cases. This immense constrictor had
In Its wonderful coils the strength to
crush an ox. A 10-foot python could
ahoot Its head forward, strike a big
man in the chest, fell him, and crush
him bone from bone—and the pythons
caught by the snake man are twice
and sometime* three times as long.

Many thousand* of
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the uae
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell*
of Hayne, N. C. “I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”*
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. — had us
get Cardui. r » I began
improving, and it cured
me. I know, -dnd my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health wen
about gone.”
TAKE
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: *1
am in splendid health ...
can do my work, I feel 1
owe it to Cardui, for I was
in dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
- etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine, Think what it means
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Oive

WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer Terribly' With Corns Be
cause of High Heels, But Why
Suffer Now.
Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suf
fer terribly with corns. Women
then proceed to trim these pests,
seeking relief, but they hardly
realize the terrible danger from in
fection, says the Cincinnati au
thority.
Corns can easily be lifted out
with the fingers if you will get
from any drug store a quarter of
an ounce of a drug called freezone.
This is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from
one’s feet. You simply apply a
few drops directly upon the ten
der, aching corn or callus. The
soreness is relieved at once and
90on the entire corn or callus, root
and all, lifts out without one par
ticle of pain.
This freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries in a moment.
It just shrivels up the corn with
out inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin.
Tell your wife about this.
