MRS. G. W. WILLIAMS HAD GIVEN UP ALL HOPE OF RECOVERY Her Family Was Told by Doc tors That She Would Die and Children Were Summoned to Her Bedside Many wonderful indorsements have been given Tanlac. but the statement made by Mrs. G. W. Williams, of Gads den. Ala.. Is. in many respects, so re markable as to be almost incredible. Her complete statement follows: “For nearly fifteen years I have had kidney trouble. I also had stomach trou ble and suffered from nervous indiges tion. I could take no nourishment ex cept a little sweetmilk and would have palpitation of the heart and nervous headache and terrible pains in my sides and back. I got so weak I had to take to my bed. and I stayed there 18 months Doctors called two or three times a day. but I kept getting worse and fell off until I was almost a skele ton and had to be turned in bed. and only weighed 90 pounds. “Mu husband spent more than 1800 trying to get me well. Finally I got so bad I was told that I could live only a few days. I believed, of course, that I was going to die and told my husband to tefegraph Thomasville. N. C-. for my son and to Atlanta and Birmingham for my other children. "When my daughter-in-law, Mrs. R. C. .Nelson, arrived from Atlanta, she begged father to get me Tanlac. He went right down to Vance's drug store and got me a bottle. I began taking it and on the second day I began to get hungry and asked for something to eat. They gave it to me and it agreed with me, and I have been eating ever since. After a short time I got so 1 could eat anything I wanted and just as much as I wanted. "After this I improved right along and it wasn't any time hardly before I was out of bed. It just seemed like the more Tanlac I took the better I got and I have actually gained 48 pounds in weight. I sleep good now and am not nervous any more like I was. Yes, I feel almost as well as I ever felt In my life and am do ing nearly all of my housework and milk the cow and churn the milk. “After I got abler to go about. I visited my daughter. Mrs. Short, at Ensley, Ala., and have just returned from a trip to the store. I don't do anything but talk about Tanlac. All of my neighbors are talking about it too, and think it is wonderful how this medicine has helped me." Tanlac is sold by leading druggists tn all principal towns of the south. (Advt.)

J <uxi| Itfer political Representative C. E. Stewart, of Coffee I county, was in Atlanta Friday to appear j before Governor Harris in connection with a pardon case. He stated that he would be a candidate to succeed himself as Coffee county’s representative, and, in event of his election, which he consid ered assured, as there was no indication I of any opposition, he would be a candi date for speaker pro tern, of the house. Mr. Stewart, who has represented Cof fee county’ for the past four years, is a well-known farmer and business man of McDonald. He expressed the opinion that Robert G. Dickerson, of Homerville, the present representative of Clinch county, would be a candidate this year for the state senate from the Fifth sen atorial district, which is composed of Ware. Clinch and Coffee counties. Qr. J. M. Spence, of Camilla, Mitchell county's representative in the general assembly was a visitor at the capitol Friday* Dr. Spence said he had not de termined yet whether he would seek re election to the house of representatives or run for the senate from the Eighth district, it being Mitchell's turn to fur nish the next senator. There are three counties in the Eighth district —Mitchell, Decatur and Miller. Dr. Spence said he had heard that H. H. Merry, of Pelham, editor of the Pel ham Journal and well-known attorney, might be in the race for the legislature from Mitchell county. A number of the friends of State School Superintendent M. L Brittain are suggesting him for governor. Mr. Brit tain is one of the leading educators of the south and is known throughout the United States as one of the ablest and most progressive of state school super intendents. He would undoubtedly make a fine governor, but there is not much likeli hood that he will seek the office this year, and maybe not at all. He is very much absorbed in standardizing the county schools, in pushing the cam paign against illiteracy and in a num ber of other progressive movements which he has inaugurated. COLUMBUS, Ga., Jan. 28.—Repre sentative Ed Wohlwender has determin ed to continue fighting the fee system in the Georgia legislature, rather than run for city court solicitor on the anti fee platform, and he now declares that he will not oppose the present incum bent, T. H. Fort for that office. In making the announcement, Mr. Wohlwender declares that the fee sys tem must go. He says that Repre sentatives Neill and Swift, of Muscogee, have a bille he proposes to support with this end in view. He wants the sys tem, as applied to all offices in Geor gia, abolished. J. Frazier Lyon, a prominent lawyer of Columbia, S. C„ and former attorney \ general of the Palmetto state, was in Atlanta Friday on legal business. He is an old friend of Attorney Thomas B. Felder, of Atlanta, and was the latter’s guest at a luncheon Friday. ———— W. F. Weaver, well-known lawyer of 1 Reynolds, is being mentioned as a pros pective candidate for the state senate , from the twenty-third district, which I embraces Houston, Crawford and Taylor ! counties. It is the turn of the latter i county to furnish the next senator. Oliver Bloodworth, editor of the Mon roe Advertiser, who is one of the bright est young editors in the state and who ' gets out a most excellent weekly news . paper, soliloquizes as follows: “The 1 Republicans and the Progressives may amalgamate for the purpose of beating the Democrats in the next election, but we just can’t help smiling at the thought of the incongruity of an elephant with bull moose horns; or a bull moose with a trunk and bed spread ears.” While in Moultrie a few days ago Roscoe Luke, of Thomasville, set at rest the rumor that he would be a candidate for congress from the second Georgia I district. Mr. Luke is quoted as having said that it was not his purpose to run this year, but that he might be a can didate two years hence. The race in the second will probably be between Congressman Frank Park and Judge E. E. Cox, of the Albany circuit. During the past month the political prophets have had Mr. Luke in groom ing for various offices, arpong them that of attorney general. In each Instance, however. Mr. Luke himself has put the COFFEE WAS IT People Slowly Learn the Facts. "All my life I have been a slave to coffee. I kept gradually losing my health, but I used to say ‘nonsense, it don’t hurt me.' "Slowly I was forced to admit the truth and the final result was that my nervous force was shattered. “My heart became weak and uncertain in its action and that frightened me. Then my physician tod me that I must stop drinking coffee or I could never expect to be well again. “I thought of Postum but could hardly bring myself to give up the coffee. “Finally I concluded that I owed it to myself to give Postum a trial. I got a package and carefully followed the directions, and what a delicious, nourish ing, rich drink it was! Do you know. I found it very easy to shift from coffee to Postum. "Almost Immediately after I made the chaige I found myself better, and as the days went by I kept on improving. My nerves grew steady, I slept well and felt strong and well-balanced. Now the old nervousness is gone and I am well once more.” It pays to give up the drink that acts on some like a poison, for health is the greatest fortune that one can have. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal — the original form— must be well boiled. 16c and 25c pack ages. Instant Postum—a soluble powder— dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and. with cream and sugar, makes a de licious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY-JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA„ TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1916 CROP OBIEBSIFIMTIOII IS SEEK 8V CROXTON General Passenger Agent of A. B. & A, Railroad Makes Interesting Report (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WAYCROSS, Ga, Jan. 29.—That farmers throughout South Georgia are preparing to diversify crops on a larger scale than ever this year was the state ment made in Waycross Thursday by W. W. Croxton. general passenger agent of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlan tic, who is making a tour of the section traversed by the road. He stated that everywhere he finds farmers actively engaged in an effort to raise a variety of crops, and that he has been agreeably surprised at the constant growth of in terest in the live stock industry. “South Georgia is attracting much no tice in many sections of the country.” said Mr. Croxton, “and the ease with which so many money-making crops can be produced is causing desirable fann ers of other states to cast upon South Georgia. There is no ques tion that South Georgia has the soil and climate, and as more and more idle land is put to work the wealth of this section of the state Is going to steadily increase.” Mr. Croxton is at the head of the A. B. & A. farm development work and through demonstration agents that work under trte supervision of the Georgia College of Agriculture much work of lasting benefit is being accomplished in many South Georgia counties. Former Outlaw Indian Is Now On Police Force DENVER, Col., Jan. 30.—" Gyp the Blood Joins Police Force!” With what hair-raising interest the nation would have read that story haa it ever appeared in the days before the well-known gunman met his death in Sing Sing. Yet the west has a drama almost as strange. For Tse-ne-Gat, the Ute outlaw — Everett Hatch is his “Christian” name— the “Gyp-the-Blood” of the Painted Des ert —has joined the Indian police. Less than a year ago he was huntea like a mountain lion through the can yons and cliffs that border the San Juan river in southeastern Utah. ■When United States marshals tried to arrest Tse-ne-Gat in February, 1915, for the killing of a Mexican herder, Old Polk, a Ute chief, and a party of I'tes who had strayed from the reserva tion and were living near Bluff. Utah, opposed the attempt. Pitched battles resulted, in which sev eral Indians, including a squaw and a girl and two white men were killed. The Indians beat off the posses. Bluff feared a massacre. Tse-ne-Gat, wound ed, afterward surrendered. quietus on the speculation by an nouncing that he was not a candidate for any of the offices named. The fre quent mention of Mr. Luke’s name is no doubt due to the fact that he is rec ognized as one of the ablest and most popular men in the state, and who would grace almost any public office within the gift of the voters. That county site and court house row In Murray county seems to be cutting the one particular figure in Murray county politics this year. It is Mur ray’s turn to supply the state senator from the Forty-third district, but it is said that the prospects of a bitter cam paign are deterring the announcement of any candidates for this office. Sor some time it has been supposed that H. H. Anderson would run. but re cently he declared that he would not get into a race which was certain to result in much bad feeling. Representative E. H. Beck is being mentioned as a probable candidate for senator, but many of Mr. Beck's friends think he will stand for re-election to the house or run for superintendent of schools. Mr. Beck has made no' an nouncement of his intentions. The two lehders of the Republican party in Georgia are at outs and each is busily engaged in framing up to van quish the other at the state convention of the party which will soon be called. National Committeeman Henry S. Jack son. of Atlanta, is leading the forces which are after the scalp of State Chair man Walter Johnson, of Columbus, and Mr. Johnson is seeking to defeat Mr. Jackson’s re-election to the place of national committeeman. The Jackson forces contend that Johnson disregarded his Instructions at the last national convention in Chicago and arbitrarily sought to vote the dele gation contrary to their wishes and the wishes of their constituents in Georgia. On the other hand the Johnson forces allege that Jackson and his crowd are simply trying to gain control of the party in Georgia. It is the announced-plan of the Jack son forces to put forward Roscoe Pick ett, of Jasper, present state senator from the Forty-first district, for the place of state chairman to succeed John son, who will probably stand for re election. In this connection the following dis patch from The Journal’s Macon cor respondent will be of interest: MACON, Ga.. Jan. 31.—Alexander Ak erman, formerly United States district attorney, states today that there is no doubt but that Walter Johnson w’ill head an uninstructed delegation to the Re publican convention at Chicago. Mr. Akerman says he has just made a trip over the state and he finds that the Republicans are practically unanimous for Johnson. He states further that Senator Roscoe Pickett could hardly aerry his own county against Johnson. Mr. Akerman says: “I have observed In the papers an in terview with Mr. Roscoe Pickett In which he assumes that the Republicans of Georgia will turn their backs upon our old time leader, Walter H. Johnson, and elect him (Pickett) as chairman of the Republican state central committee. “In the last six weeks I have trav eled the state from one end to the other, and I find the universal sentiment among the Republicans of the state to be that It is time for the Republicans to get to gether behind such a leader as Mr. Johnson and send an uninstructed dele gation to Chicago, which delegation will j use its best endeavors to nominate a I candidate who will bring together the 1 opposing factions of the Republican par | ty and lead the party to victory in No ■ vember. "The Republicans of Georgia, while i few in number, are men of intelligence, I and they now realize that if they had followed the advice of Mr. Johnson in 1912 there would have been no split in the party, and the Democratic victory would have been impossible. “I predict that Mr. Pickett will not be able in his fight on Mr. Johnson to even carry his own county, and certainly not his own congressional district and if he can show me where he has the support of more than four Republicans of any consequence in the state of Georgia I would be willing to withdraw opposition ■•SHDRTT" HARPER WINS PRIZE 15 REST FIDDLER Louise Hall, 14, of Gilmer County, Captures Second Prize in Contest The Old Fiddlers’ convention at ,the auditorium is over, and Shorty Harper, of Morgan county, won the first prize of SSO Saturday night. The convention ended in a wild burst of melody, with each man (and woman) fiddling for dear life. Louise Hall, four years old, a girl of Gilmer county, won the second prize of S3O and also won a kiss from Judge "Dfck” Russell, chairman of the judg ing committee. W. F. Melton, of Woodberry, Ga., won the third prize of S3O, and the fourth award of $17.50 was captured by Ross Bagley, of Cumming, Ga. Mrs. William McCarthy, of the Daugh ters of the Confederacy, was presented with a silver loving cup by the Old Fiddlers in conjunction with the old veterans of the Soldiers’ home. She pre sented Homer Weaver, secretary of the convention, with a pair of diamond cuff links on behalf of the Daughters of the Confederacy, who shared in the profits of the convention. This share goes to ward a fund for the education of Geor gia mountain girls and boys.

WE MUST KEEP WAR FROM SPREADING TO THIS SIDE OF OCEAN “I Must Tell You Dangers Are Infinite and Constant,” He Says in Addresses at Pitts burg and Cleveland (By Associated Press.) CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.—President Wilson, speaking, as he said, "solemn ly,” warned the nation tonight that the time may come wnen he cannot both keep the United States out of war and ! maintain its honor. He declared that the country must be prepared to defend itself and prepared at once. “America is not afraid of anybody,’’ i he said. “I know I reflect your feeling and the feeling of all of our citizens I when I say the only thing I am afraid ' of It not being ready to perfom my j duty. I am afraid of the danger of j inadequacy; I am afraid of the danger of not being able to express the chief character of this country with tremen dous might and effectiveness whenever we are called upon to act in the field of the world’s affairs.” •rhe president spoke in Cleveland to night with more gravity and force than he has shown during any of his previ ous addresses on preparedness. He was applauded frequently and when he spoke of defending the nation’s honor the cheering was tremendous. “Let me tell you very solemnly you ■ cannot postpone this thing,” he de- I dared. “I do not know what a single day may bring forth. I do not wish • to leave you with the impression that ; I am thinking of some particular dan- . ger. INTRICATE DANGERS "I merely wish to • tell you that we ! are daily treading amidst intricate dan- ; gers. The dangers that we are tread- I ing amongst are not of our own mak ing and not under our control. I think I no man in the Unted States knows what I a single week, a single day may bring forth.” Again and again the president spoke of the nation’s honor. He declared the real man believes his honor is dearer than his life and a nation's honor is dearer than its peace and comfort. He said it had been difficult to keep the United States out of the war and he felt he had proved he was a man of peace when possible. The .regret that, the question has come up in a campaign year was ex pressed by Mr. Wilson. “Let us forget,” he said, “that this is a year of national elections.” The preparedness issue, he added, should have nothing to do with politics. For the first time during his present ' tour the president spoke of the navy 1 and of the coast defenses. The latter, ' he said, are good in quality but not in quantity. Some people say that the navy ranks I second, he declared, but the experts i agree It ranks fourth. He added It [ should be increased. PREFA R'EDNESS NEC ESS A R Y Among the possible sources of danger mentional by the president were the dif ficulties growing out of the protection of Americans abroad and the obligation of the United States to maintain the lib erties of the people of the western hem isphere. New circumstances have arisen, the President declared today, which make it absolutely necessary that this coun try shuld prepare for adequate pational defense. "We are in the midst of a world that we did not make and cannot alter,” the president said. “Its whole atmospheric and physical conditions are the condi tions of our own life also; and therefore as your responisble servant I must tell you that the dangers are infinite and constant. “I should feel that I was guilty of an unpardonable omission if I did not go out and tell my fellow countrymen that new circumstances have arisen which make it absolutely necessary that this country prepare herself, not for war, not for anything that smacks In the least of aggression, but for ade quate national defense.” America's improvident neglect to build merchant ships, the president said in ex planation, had left* thp country depend ent upon other nations to carry its commerce, nations now at war all friends of America, but preoccupied, stubbornly steadfast in the maintenance of their main purpose. "Wherever the ordinary rules of com merce at sea and of international rela tionships are apt to be thrust aside or ignored,” he continued "there is dan ger of the more critical kind of contro versy. URGES QUICK ACTION. The necessity for quick action was made the keynote of the president’s preparedness addresses in Pittsburg and Cleveland in this, the first day of a week’s tour of the middle west. He told of difficulties encountered in main taining the peace and upholding the honor of the United States at the same time. Two things, he said, were told him by almost every one who came to the White House. One was that the peo ple were counting on him to keep them out of war; and in the next breath, he continued, he was told that the people counted equally upon him to maintain the honor of the United States. "Have you reflected that a time might come when I could not do both?" He asked. "Have you made yourselves ready to stand behind your government for the maintenance of the honor of your country? “Nobody doubts that given time enough we can assert any amount of force necessary. But when the world is on fire, how much time do .you want to take to be ready? When you know that there are combustible materials in the life of the world and in your own national life and that the sky is full of floating sparks from a great conflagration are you going to sit down and say it is time when the fire begins to do something about it?” "I do not believe that the fire is going to begin but I would be surer of It if we were ready for the fire.” National defense, the president said, was not a party matter. He was sorry that the issue arose in a presidentiaJ campaign year because of the danger that politics might becloud it. Repub licans and Democrats, he declared, were equally patriotic and should be able to agree on the national defense of their common country. But after all, the president continued, the Issue did not lie with congress. He felt that congress would do its part. The issue lay with the young men and the employers of the country. The ques tion was whether the young men would | volunteer In answer to the call and whether the employers would place no obstacles in the way of their responding. Not until this question was answered, the president said, would it be known whether America was to have an ade quate national defense or not. He ex pressed confidence that his appeal would be answered. The president criticised both advo- Don’t Send Me One Cent . ’*■ I Am Going To Send You FREE 3 Pair* of Spectacle* I am putting on the market a large-eye, cable-temple spectacle, th* frame of which is made of composition non-gold metal that looks like gold, although there is not one cent’s worth of gold in them.
