FATHEH OF SIXTEEN
SWSTIIUICW
HIM FROM THE GRAVE
Thought His End Was Near
and Told His Wife to Put
Children in Odd Fellows’
Home When He Died
What is probably the most remark
able Indorsement ever given a proprie
tary medicine was the statement made
recently by H. J. Williams, a coal
miner at the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Co., mine No. 8, near Fairfield, Ala.,
in the Birmingham district.
The story of his wonderful restora
tion to health was told in his own
words, and is profoundly interesting.
His statement follows:
“I am 54 years of age. and am the
fatibcr «e str teen children, eight living
and eight dead I came to Birming
ham from East Tennessee, and have
followed mining for a good many years.
• “About two years ago I took sick.
, e The doctors at first thought I had Tape
worm. then Hookworm, and finally de
cided it was Pellagra. 1 took treatment
from a well-known Alabama Pellagra
’Cure,’ but got no benefit. The doctors
finally told me they couldn’t do me any
good, and I quit going to see them.
"I suffered from a sort of numb feel
ing all the time in my back, and was
dizzy-headed. I couldn't stoop over, or
stand on my feet for any length of time,
and couldn’t hardly eat anything and
nothing tasted good. In fact, I was
Slowly starving to death.
"I lost all of my strength, and fell off
45 pounds tn weight. I used to weigh,
when I was well, 133 pounds, and got
down to where I only weighed 90
pounds, and was almost a walking skele
ton.
“I finally decided that there was no
more hope for me in this life, and I
gave my ring to my wife and told her
to put the children in the Odd Fellows’
Home when I died.
“This is just the shape I was in
when, one-day, my little daughter said:
’Papa, why don’t you try that new
medicine everybody is talking about?
It has helped so many people, it
might help you.’ Os course I had no
- faith in anything, but just to please
the family. I made one more trial and
got this Tanlac. May the good Lord
V bless the day I got this medicine, for
W It was my salvation.
w “I got relief from the first bottle,
V and I began to eat and pick up right
r from the start. I am now on my fifth
bottle, and have actually gained back
35 pounds, and now weigh 115. It
just looked like the more I took the
better I got. and I keep on picking up
every day.
“I went over to the mines yesterday
and made arrangements to go back to
work. I am now strong enough to
walk around wherever I want to go,
something I have not been able to do
for over a year, and that is a fact.
Tanlac *mighty nigh’ raised me from
the dead, that's what it done for me.
If you don't believe what 1 have told
you. just ask any of the men around
mine No. 8, and they will all tell you?
the fi* I was in, and how much better
off I am now.
’Thank God I will soon be able to
• earn a living for my family, and I will
owe it all to this medicine, Tanlac. I
have just written to a daughter of
mine in LaFollatte, Tenn., who needs
a (medicine like this, and I want her to
take it and get well.
T don't believe now I ever had Pel
lagra, because I never did have any
breaking out of any kind. I don't be
lieve I had Hookworm, either, but
• whatever it was. this Tanlac has cer
tainly fixed me. I don’t reckon there
ever was a medicine on earth like
Tanlac. I will always bless the day I
bought this medicine.''
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
in principal cities throughout the
south.—f Advt. i

western & Atlantic
Files Petition for Mandamus
Compelling Secretary of
State to Issue Charter to
North Georgia Mineral Ry.
Attorneys Dorsey, Brewster, Howell &
Heyman and King & Spalding Friday
night presented to Judge J. T. Pendleton,
of the Fulton superior court, a petition
for a writ of mandamus to compel Philip
Cook, secretary of state, to issue a char
ter to the North Georgia Mineral rail
way, the secretary of state having de
clined to issue this charter last sum
mer after the legislature had enacted
the law- forbidding him to grant a char
ter for the construction of any railroad
which would parallel the Western and
Atlantic railroad or impair the value
of that property.
Judge Pendleton issued an order re
quiring the secretary of state to show
cause before him on January 15 why
the petition tor mandamus should not
be granted.
This move against the state follows
ciose upon the heels or the action taken
oy the state’s attorneys last Tuesday
aiternoon in obtaining temporary injunc
tions from Judge A. W. Fite, ot the
Cherokee circuit, restraining the fur
ther publication of the legal advertise
ments in connection with the plan of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad to
extend the line of the old Atlanta. Knox
ville and Northern railroad from Car
tersville to Marietta, which Attorney J.
j Spalding, in a public statement, ad
mitted was in furtherance of ihe pur
pose of the Louisville and Nashville
to extend its road into Atlanta.
It has always been taken tor granted
that the proposed North Georgia Min
eral railway was in reality designed to
give the Louisville and Nashville its
uesired entrance into Atlanta.
The application for a charter for this
railway was tiled with the secretary
of state on October 5, 1914. A storm
of public opposition to tue granting
of this charter, which it was believed
would mean the parralleling of the
Western and Atlantic railroad with a
consequent serious impairment of the
value of that property, was aroused
throughout the state.
As a result of this public opposition
Attorneys King M Spalding, then
the attorneys for the North Georgia
Mineral railway, agreed with Governor
Slaton not to press for the charter
until after the legislature met in its
regular 1915 session. However, they
left their application on file with the
secretary of state.
It was generally expected at the
time that mandamus proceedings would
be immediately brought against the
secretary of state, but for reasons of
their own the attorneys did not do so.
The next step taken by the railroad
was the inserting of advertisements in
papers in Cobb. Cherokee and Bartow
counties announcing their purpose to
build a branch line of the Atlanta,
Knoxville and Northern (which is
ownedan d operated by the L. and N.)
from Marietta to Cartersville.
Since the state has proceeded to en
join the preliminary steps toward this
extension or branch line, it appears
that the attorneys for the railroads
have made a counter move by applying
for the writ of mandamus. This makes
two separate actions, both of which
will probably engage the courts for
months to come.
After being served with a copy of
Judge Pendleton’s order Saturday morn
ing Secretary Cook stated that he had
no comment to offer. He said he would
confer with Governor Harris and At
torney General Walker on what
course to pursue.
Governor Harris, when apprised by
The Journal of this latest move, ex
pressed some surprise, but declared the
state would fight to the last ditch to
save the Western and Atlantic railroad.

CHAPTER XLIX.
FALSE IMPERSONATION.
In the interior of the chart room
on board the battleship Missouri,
Neal Hardin —ensign—was discuss
ing with his brother officers the pos
sibilities of the Allemanian war.
A senior officer was poring over
translated wireless messages. Against
the wall was a modern Mercator's
map of the world.
Finally he rose. “A new coaling
station —that’s the trick,” he said,
“and we’ve got to see somebody in
authority at Los Angeles—unless
they meet us en route. The state
department’s got to dicker xor a
coaling station.”
He adjusted his glasses and exam
ined the map, “H’m,” he said, “Alle
niania—here’s Allemania.' He pon
dered the map carefully—sizing up
all possibilities—measuring dis
tances. Finally he placed hiJ finger
tip upon a spot in the Pasific ocean.
“There,” he said, “is the spot—
somewhere about there.
“What’s the latitude,” queried an
other officer, getting out a section of
another map. His senior told him.
“And the longitude,” he asked. His
senior told him that.
“Eighteen degrees north,” mused
the junior, “and 123 degrees west ”
He pored over his sectional map. He
shook his head.
“But,” he protested, “there s no
land there —there’s no island to be
seen.”
Neal saluted. “Pardon for* but
ting in,” he said, ‘but, can you let
me have that latitude and longitude
again.”
“Eighteen degrees north —123 de
grees west,” repeated his fellow oin
ccr
Neal almost jumped out of his
skin.
“There is an island there, un
charted and. unmapped,’ said neal,
“but it's there. It’s the Isle of Cin
nabar —we call it the Lost Isle.
•Who calls it Lost Isle?”
Neal told them Annette's story,
from start to finish.
The commander smiled- ” e get
our coaling stations by making trea
ties,” he said. “I’ve never heard of
making a treaty with a girl, but I
suppose it can be done. We 11 have
to wireless Washington about that.
And I know pretty much what our
orders will be now—suppose you
guess.” . . ~,
Neal smiled. “Follow the girl,
e ««Right ” returned his senior with
a laugh. ’ He summoned the wireless
operator and gave a message. ’What
do you think of that? ’ he musel,
“a treaty —for a coaling station
with a girl. Well, well.”
So they followed Annette. But others
had preceded her. Even while Annette s
journey wa-s but half way through some
thing was happening at the Santa Maria
mission in Lower California.
Brother Anselmo was seated at his
, table, facing Hernandez and his party.
Inez Castro leaned a well-rounded arm
upon the table and glanced innocently in
to the eyes of Brother Anselmo.
“I am Annette Ilington,” she said.
The brother nodded. “I am sending
for the papers, child,” he said. He tap
ped the table while he waited, glancing
from time to time at Inez with keen
eyes.
“So you are his daughter T‘ he said at
length—and there seemed a note of dis
appointment in his voice—-“the daughter'
of my old friend Ilington. He was my
young friend then. You —his daughter.
And you say my old friend Ilington
is dead?”
The chin of Senorita Castro quivered.
"Dead,” she faltered.
’ She dropped her face into her hand
kerchief.
“When did he die, my daughter?” he
asked soothingly.
“In 1902,” interposed Hernandez, “I
was with him—he was destroyed at the
eruption of Mount Felee. We were his
friends, Ponto here and I —his partners.
We tried to save him. It was no use.
He was engulfed. He died—a horrible*
death.”
. “She was.a small child then," said
the priest.
"Yes,” said Hernandez.
"Does—does she remember her father
—ilington?”
“Hardly,” said Hernandez, "we’ve tried
to make her remember —but no—she
hardly does.”
The face of Inez Castro was still bur
ied in her kerchief. The priest watched
attentively the heave of her shoulders.
Hernandez moved toward her and trod
upon her foot. It was a signal. It
meant: "Here is an old fox. Look out.”
decades. And the loss of a father—ah
Brother Anselmo sighed. "Ah, grief
has a long, strong arm—it reaches over
meHere,” he exclaimed,
“here are the papers. Let us have a
look.” .
Inez straightened up. Hernandez and
Ponto moved forward. So did the Brute.
The sudden movement seemed to startle
the priest. He looked up hastily. He
caught sight of the blank face of the
Brute. He rose.
"Who—what is that?” he demanded,
pointing toward the Brute’s blank coun
tenance.
"A servant," returned Hernandez,
“picked up from a shipwreck some
three years ago. He had been a long
shoreman. He is demented —always so,
they told us. He is devoted to us all—
particularly to Annett%”
The priest stared at the Brute and
the Brute returned the stare.
"The eyes,” said the priest, “I never
forget eyes. I’ve seen those eyes some
where before.’’ He tapped his fore
head. “Let me think—when —how”—
Finally he shook his head. “It will
come to me later,” he exclaimed.
The priest shook out an old and faded
parchment. "This,” he exclaimed, “is
the grant—the original grant.”
Hernandez in his eagerness, seized a
corner of the grant. The priest brush
ed his hand away.
“Patience, son,” he said, "there can be
no delivery until I am satisfied. This
charge has been handed down to me.
However, this is the grant. And it is
good today. It will be recognized. Had
mt he United States known of the exist
ence of this island in 1898 it might, in
jdeed, have attempted to possess it —
but I am told it is a lost Island, un
charted, unmapped—ls it not so?”
» "It is,” said Hernandez.
‘ “The grant holds—it will be recogniz
ed by nations,” said the priest, "only
h —you may find your rpecious island
uoeopled with savages—who knows?”
X -w
e’ll take a chance,” said Hernan
dez; “there are none that can with
stand us—with our rights at our back
we ll wage war with the world.”
s The priest smiled. “You are san
dguine, son." he said, “and also sanguin-
JJary, I’m afraid."
i, Inez pointed toward a paper on the
•table. “There!’’ she exclaimed, “is my
’’ photograph—and the letter from the
governor of Martinique.”
Brother Anselmo picked it up and
• looked it over. It was Annette's letter
—and it had been vised by the governor
of Martinique, and originally It had
been attached to the photograph of
Annette lllington. Now, however, gen
uine as the leter was—genuine as was
the guaranty of the governor of Mar
tinique—yet the photograph was the
counterfeit presentment of Inez Castro.
"Ah, yes,” he said, comparing the pic
ture with the face of Inez and taking
advantage of the opportunity to search
her very soul, "ah, yes. The indentifica
tlon would seem to be complete.”
Inez procured the map—the torn and
tattered yellow parchment map of the
Lost Isle of Cinnabar. The priest took
it in his hands.
“You have solved its secret, daugh
-1 ter” he queried.
Inez nodded.
"Its secret," she replied, “is heat.”
“With heat applied," assented the
priest, “what then —what latitude—
what longitude?” ,
Inez smiled. “I know it all by
heart,” she returned, “the latitude is 18
degrees 30 minutes north and the long
itude is 123 degrees 40 minutes west.”
“And the hidden inscription?”
“Almost by heart,” said Inez, “ ‘Grant
ed by Joseph Bonaparte, king of Spain,
in the year 1807, to Ilington for signal
service’ —something of that kind —that’s
the .substance, anyway.”
“That is the substance,” said the
priest, "and it would appear to me,
Senorita Ilington, that you have made
out a case.”
“Then,” said Inez, “I may have the
grant?”
The priest folded up the papers and
returned them to the iron box that had
contained them. He rose and smiled.
“Nothing in my life have I ever
done," he said, “without prayer and
sleep. This is an important matter. It
requires praying over—sleeping over.
Come on the morrow, daughter, and I
shall then make delivery. Until then —
adios.”
The three stood aghast. Ponto, in
fact, drew his ever-ready knife and
strode toward the priest. Hernandez,
quick as a wink, covered up this move
ment. But, tyith unusual eagerness in
his eyes he confronted Brother Ansel
mo.
“Father,” he said, “we have shown
you that this is Annette Ilington—you
are satisfied. Why not deliver us this
grant now? We must be on our way.
We shall be too much delayed.”
The priest smiled. “Time was made
for slaves,” he said, “come on the mor
row, daughter. Then we’ll close tne
matter. Until then,” he repeated soft
ly, bowing them out, “adios.”
And adios it was.

SHIPPERS LOSE FIRST
ROUND IN FIGHI UPON
HIGHER FTFEIGHTRATES
New Classification on South
eastern Railroads, Effective
January 1,. Allowed by Inter
state Commerce Commission
(By Associated Press. )
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—New classi
fications of freight on the southeastern
railroads, which will result in increased
freight charges, effective January 1,
were allowed today by the interstate
commerce commission.
The southeastern lines serve the ter
ritory generally in the Atlantic and gulf
states south of the Ohio and Potomac
and east of the Mississippi river. In
allowing the new classifications the com
mission specifically stated that it did
not place its approval on the increases
and would entertain any formal com
plaint which may be made against the
reasonableness of the new Changes.
The general revision of classification
to higher levels will result in general
increases on all classes of freight. The
commission has no estimate of how
much it will mean to the railroads, but
there is no doubt that if allowed to stand
finally the change will increase the
revenues many hundreds of thousands
of dollars a year.
COMMISSION'S NOTICE.
The notice issued by the commission
follows:
“During the present month the com
mission received numerous protests
against tariffs filed by southeastern
lines to become effective January 1,
1916, and later, in response to its fourth
section order number 3866, and it also
received numerous petitions against
suspension of these tariffs.
“Many petitioners appeared in person
before the obard of suspension at in
formal hearings held in this city De
cember 9, 1915, and December 14 to
21, 1915, inclusive.
“The commission has declined to sus
pend the operation of the tariffs protest
ed against which will become effective
as Indicated January 1, 1916, and later.
“The fact that the commission has
not suspended the new schedules carries
with it no expression of approval, and
tMs action is subject to the duty of
the commission to Investigate the law
fulness and reasonableness of any
schedule which may be made the sub
ject of formal complaint."
New Diamond
Import Record
IsMadebyN. Y.
(By Aasoni.ted Frets.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Imports of
diamonds and other precious stones at
this port during the year ending today
are estimated by William B. Treadwell,
the government’s diamond expert, at
$25,000,000, a gain over last year of
about $6,000,000. The increase in the
consumption of gems by the United
States is regarded by dealers as show
ing that the Unted States is rapidly
becoming the chief of the world’s mar
kets for jewels.
The imports of precious stones here
are substantially the entries of gems
for the entire country since under the
practice of the treasury department vir
tually all such imports are entered here

Diamonds, as usual, predominated in
the year’s imports but a greater num
ber of pearls were brought in than a
year ago, particularly medium grade
gems. Sapphires continued to be fav
orites and emeralds were popular but
difficult to obtain. Rubies showed a fall
ing off, owing, it is said, to the large
production .of synthetic gems here.

FROM EXPLOSION
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, Jan. 1. —Six workmen
missing and property damage esti
mated at $500,000 are results of a fire
which followed an explosion today in
the plant of the American Linseed Oil
company in South Chicago. The plant
was virtually destroyed. A number of
firemen and employes of the plant suf
fered injuries.
The plant was known as the Cleveland
Linseed Oil company, branch of the
American Linseed company, and con
sisted of four four-story brick build
ings. The flames demolished the in
terior of all four buildings.
The first explosion was in the perco
lator building. The roof of the build
ing was blown off.
The first blast was followed by
smaller explosions as the flames reached
different tanks.
An oil barge in the Calumet slip
caught fire while it was being taken to
a place of safety.
The surface of the Calumet river was
coated with flaming oil, hindering the
work of the fire tugs.

ENCOURAGE ENLISTMENT
IN THE NAVAL MILITIA
WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—An Increas
ing interest among corporations and
business houses generally in encourag
ing employes to enlist in the naval mi
litia is shown in the annual report of
Captain F. B. Bassett, Jr., chief of the
naval militia bureau. Many concerns
the past year have granted enlisted men
in their employ special leave on full ,
pay for attendance at training camps,
without deducting the time from regu- |
lar vacations.
The 8,312 officers and men now is I
the naval militia. Captain Bassett says, '
form a “very valuable reserve for the
navy in time of need” full application of
recently revised militia laws has result
ed in satisfying progress in numbers
and efficiency, the report adds, but fur- ,
ther revision is recommended to extend I
the free mailing privilege of the army |
and navy to the militia, to grant federal
employes leave to attend militia schools
and camps and to allow offenders
against discipline on naval cruises to be
tried by court martial under state laws
by their own officers.
