2 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 1000 Shot/KHamllton 22 Steel Air zZg« Y ?\Cal. Hunting RIFLE Cast A_-w watt* . 1111 11 awrLYCO-Bex , Ms As.

OFFICE STATE In. A. KNIGHT COMPANY. 793- Aubert Aeenue. St. Louis. Ma. L & N. BEGINS COUBT FIGHT TO PARALLEL 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. GILS!

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1916 NEAL of the NAVYO (Continued from Last Issue.) I 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. (Continued in Next Issue.) BOY HELD FOR DEATH OF PARENTS AND BROTHER (By Associated Press.)

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 where they can be appraised by experts. 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. SIX BELIEVED DEAD 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. LITTLE GIRL DIES OF BURNS RECEIVED XMAS (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
