"I just believe I would be a dead man today if it hadn't been for this Tanlac.'' aald W. F. Brantley, a well known south Georgia farmer, who lives near Mavfleld. Mr. Brantley, or “BllL” as be is called by his friends, is one of the best known and most progressive farmers in that county. While fn Sparta on a business trip a few days ago he made a statement at Middlebrooks' drug store in the presence of H. D. Graves. R. C. Wilson and L. Taffe that will no doubt attract widespread inter est throughout the entire state. "Yes. sir. that's a fact. I don't be lieve 1 would be alive today if it hadn't been for this Tanlac. and I want to say right here and now that 1 think it is the greatest medicine that ever come into this country. 1 have taken five tot ties of it and 1 actually weigh 30 pounds more than I did when 1 started or it. Don’t take my word for it. but just ask anybody who knows me. Why, that stuff will do to fatten hogs on. "I was a sick man when 1 started or Tanlac and I had gotten so weak in my oack and knees that I couldn’t get around except with a stick. When I would try to get up in the mornings I could hardly move and lots of times I would have to get my wife to help me out of bed. and when a man gets in that kind of a fix he is in bad shape. “My stomach just went completely back on me and would get so weak at times I couldn't even bear to think about eating. I had always had a big appetite before this trouble came on me. but I finally got so I didn't want a bite to eat and didn't have enough strength left in me to go at all. I kept losing weight until I got down to 143 pounds. A friend of mine got after me to try Tanlac for my trouble and said he was sure it was just what I needed, so I finally got a bottle and started taking H. “Well. sir. I hadn't finished the first bottle before it got me up and put me to eating, and I have been steadily on the mend from that day to this. When I would get up in the morning to feed my stock, after I had been taking Tan lac a week or two. I would Just get so hungry I could hardly wait for break fast. “Now I want to tell you that I have not only gained 30 pounds in weight, tut this medicine has simply made a new man out of me, and I am feeling better and stronger than I have in a long time. I can do a hard day’s work now and don't have any of that old weakness in my back and knees. No wonder everybody is taking this medi cine. for I don’t reckon there ever has been anything like it before.” Tanlac is sold by regularly established agencies in al! principal towns of the south.—< Advt.)

Fing Mfg. Co. DepL 41. St Loui*. M>. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, JULY 9 BY DB. MA KI ON MCH. «VLL I When Paul reached Athens he sent for Silas and Timothy to join him (Acts' 17:15). but while there he became so j concerned about the church at Thessa-( lonica that he had organized, that het sent Timothy back to look into its con-1 dit ion <1 Theas. 3:l-2)« in the inean-j time, Paul left Athens and went to' Corinth. Here he was joined by Silas! and Timothy (Acts 18:5). and the good, report which they brought from the I Thessalonians cheered him so (Theas. I 3:6) that he sat down at once and wrote; this letter, the first of all of the Pauline) epistles found in the sacred writings. ■ The letter is quite different from oth-j ers. It does not deal with doctrine and > yet it is doctrinal. It is not argumenta tivt and yet it is logical: it looks into; the future as much if not more than any, of the other of Paul's letters, and yet it; is eminently practical. It is jsfit the; kind of letter you woud expect a man to! write who has been in suspecse which | had been suddeny removed by haring good news. It is eminenty persoal. THE FIRST LETTER. In the first chapter he expresses his thanksgiving for the way in which they had received the gospel. Their lives' had been so completely changed that J they had become examples everyhere. In > the second chapter he deals with the, aay in which he had preached to them. He had not flattered nor tried o please hem; hu earnesly, honesly, frankly, gent ly, persistently, he had proclaimed to them the Word of God. They had receiv ed his word not as man's word, but as God's Word, because he had lived amongst them holily and righteously and unblameably . exhorting , encouraging and testifying to them so that they should walk as would please God. He expresses his longing to see them, but tells how he has been hampered by Satin, probably through that peace bond of Jason's. In chapter three, he tells them he coud stand it no onger. and had sent Timothy to find out whether the tribua tion through which they had passed had shaken their faith, and how he was overjoyed to know that Timothy's re turn that they had stood fast and had stood fast and has continued to grow. He expresses a wish that some time he may have the priviege of coming to them, and prays for them that their love may increase yet more and more. In the fourth and fifth chapter he exhorts them to abound yet more and more in a life which will be KzUsfytng to God. He takes up certain practical problems which are confront ing them, and deals with them. They had not yet gotten rid of their heathen custom with re gard to the marital relations, and be deals with this. There was a tendeuev on their part to be tazy and inert, and he urges them to be indus trious that they be not dependent on others, and thus bring the gospel into disrepute. He comforts those who have lost loved ones with the recital of what will happen to them when the Ix»rd returns, and urges them to live with Christ wether they wake or sleep. He finally end* wih practical suggestions for their spirit ual life. THE PROGRAM AND THE TRIPOD. This letter which Paul wrote to them is re markable for several things. In the first place it sets forth in a most remarkable way the program of Christianity. These Thessalonian! Christiana turned from idols to eerve the living I and true God and to wait for His Son from! Heaven. To turn, to serve, and to watt—thia 1 is the program of Christianity. An idol is I that which commands your worship, occupies your thought and time, envelopes your affec tions. That idol may be rn image, or business, or pleasure, or self. The first step in the Christian life L to turn from idols and make God the object of your devotk'n. yield Him your homage, and look to him for orders. The second step is service, obeying those orders whatever they may be. There will be one thing for you and another thing for me. The impor tant thing is that we do what He tells us. Rut inis ig not enough. While we are serving we must wait, always looking forward to that time when His Son shall return to earth and set tin the kingdom which He will come tn establish. And we must remember ill the while that they also serve who only stand and wait. There is another interesting thing in this « <tcr- He speaks of their work of faith, their tabor «f love, their patience of hope. Then ir the fifth chapter he speaks of their putting on the breastplate of faith and love and to have hope for an helmet. Faith, love and hope— these constitute the tripot of life. Faith is respiration. Hope is nerve action, and love is the circulation. Should any one of the legs of the tripod fhll in the body, the physical life incomes extinct; just so all three of these are necessary to the spiritual life, if it will be firm •nn stable. . tateresting thing is that each chapter O ’r letter closes with some reference to ,he flrst c ” ,pter “ ” LESS W hile we are serving, we are waiting not anxious about the results but will U those in God’a hands, knowing that when He comes we will be enabled to see the ™l r tabors and that the results will 1 e f .u’ fl** l w * n ted them to he.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL’, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1916. FULL TEXT OF MEXICAN NOTE (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, July s—The5 —The reply of the de facto government of Mexico to the demands of the United States, con ciliatory In terms and giving assurances of a desire to reach a friendly adjust ment of the difficulties between the two countries was delivered to the state department today by a Mexican embassy attache. The full text of the note follows: "Washington. D. C., July. 4, 1916. "Mr. Secretary: "I have the honor to transmit In continuation the text of a note I hfive just received from my govern ment with instructions to present it to Your Excellency; "’Mr. Secretary: " ‘Referring to the of June 20 and 25 last, 1 have the honor to say to your excellency that the im mediately release of the Carrixal prisoners was a further proof of the sincerity of the desires of this gov ernment to reach a pacific and sat isfactory arrangement of present difficulties. This government is anxious to solve the present conflict and it would be unjust If its attitude were misinterpreted. ” ‘lt was also the Mexican gov ernment that earnestly suggested a plan for cantonments along the boundary line during the conferences of Ciudad Juarez and El Paso. This government is disposed now, as it has always been, to seek an imme diate solution of the two points which constitute the true causes of the conflict between the two coun tries, to wit: " ’The American government be lieves reasonably that the insecurity of its frontier is a source of diffi culty and the Mexican government on its part believes that the stay of American troops on Mexican terri tory aside from being a trespass on the sovereignty of Mexico is the Immediate cause of the conflicts. “ ’Therefore, the withdraw of Am erican troops on one hand, aJtd the protection of the frontier, on the other, are the two essential prob lems, tne solution of which must be the directing object of the ef forts of both governments. " ‘The Mexican government is willing to consider in a quick and practical way and prompted by a spirit of concord the remedies which should be applied to the present situation. " ‘Several Latin-American coun tries have offered their frien-’ly me diation to the Mexican government and the latter has accepted it in principle. Therefore, the Mexican government only awaits Information that the government of the United States should be disposed to accept this mediation for the purpose men tioned above or whether it is still of the belief that the same results may be attained by means of direct negotiations between both govern ments. " ‘ln the meantime this govern ment proposes to employ all efforts that may be at its disposal to avoid the recurrence of new Incidents which may complicate and aggra vate the situation. At the same time it hopes that the American government on Its part may make use of all efforts to prevent also new acts of its military and civil authorities of the frontier that might cause new complications. “‘I avail myself of this oppor tunity to reiterate to your excel lency the assurance of my most dis tinguished consideration. ‘“(Signed.) C. AGUILAR.’ "Having thus complied with high er instructions of my government, it. affords me pleasure to reiterate to your excellency the assurance of my highest consideration. (Signed) E. ARREDONDO.” Two, Traced by Dogs, Are Held for Burning Automobile of Sheriff Jack Knott and Claud Thompson, of Spalding county, have been bound over by United States Commissioner W.

Nashville Mayor Asked By Council to Resign NASHVILLE. Ga, July s.—The city council of Nashville has passed reso lutions commending the resolutions re cently passed at a mass meeting of the citizens of that place in which Mayor J. D. Lovett was called upon to resign his office. Mayor Lovett’s resignation Is de manded on the ground that he has accepted employment to work In th© in terest of the proposed new county of Ccok, which, if created, will take nway a considerable slice of Berrien county. The City council declares In Its resolu tions that the creation of the new county will be detrimental to both the interests of the city of Nashville and the county of Berrien. H. M. DORSEY DELIVERS ADDRESS AT DALLAS, GA. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) DALLAS. Ga., July s.—Hugh M. Dor eey, of Atlanta, candidate for governor of Georgia, spoke here from the court house steps yesterday afternoon. His speech was along the same lines as that delivered by him at Alma Saturday, v.here he formally opened his campaign. Mr. Dorsey declared for law enforce ment, respect for the courts and re spect for the verdicts of juries. He cook a rap at Governor Harris for not par doning Thomae Edgar Stripling after making a promise to the man’s daugh ter that he would do so. Earlier in the day Mr. Dorsey de livered a similar speech at Canton. He whs followed there by Herbert Clay, so licitor of the Blue Ridge circuit, and Judge Newt Morris, candidate for judge of the circuit, both of whom made speeches In behalf of their respective candidacies. CJPITIL OFFICIALS REGARD CARRANZA'S NOTE IS PEACE PLEA Desire to Avoid New Trouble Interpreted as Virtual With drawal of Orders to Attack U. S. Troops CHIHUAHUA, July s.—(Via El Faso Junction, Tex., July s.)—General ignaci Damos was killed in a fierce and bloody battle that raged all yesterday between a small force of de facto troops and a large band of Villa followers at Corral ranch, 15 miles southwest of Jiminez. Both sides suffered heavy losses. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, July s—The crisis between the United States and Mexico virtually came to an end today when a friendly and conciliatory note from the de facto government was handed to Secretary Lansing and promptly com municated to President Wilson. The Mexican note does not make the specific explanation of orders given to General Trevenino sought by Secretary Lansings’ last communication. General Carranza was then informed that the order to attack General Pershing's men if they moved east, south or west in Mexico wa« construed here as an act of deliberate hostility. The declaration that the Carranza government will seek every means to avoid new Incidents *o aggravate the situation is regarded as a virtual withdrawal of the order. Formal statement of th3 Washington government's attitude must await the president’s action, but officials believe that the way has been ope; ed for an amicable adjustment of the dispute as to the border situation which brought the two governments to the verge of war. Secretary Lansing himself would not comment, but gave the Impression that General Carranza's statement that there is no pending questions between the two governments which cannot be readi ly adjusted hy friendly negotiation* meets with quick sympathy here. SHARES WILSON’S VIEWS. Mr. Lansing is known to share Presi dent Wilson’s desire that hostilities he avoided if there Is any ether possible way to safeguard American border in terests. The new Mexican communica tion so plainly Indicates a similar de sire, that a further interchange of views Is expected to begin, Immediately looking to joint efforts to curb border bandits and other Irresponsible agency that have worked to embroil the two governments. High officials were much imp-eased by the* complete change in tone shown in General Carranza’s new note. It was described by one as ‘‘more than concil iatory.” There seems to be no disposi tion to doubt that the United States on its side would he willing to arranve for the early withdrawal of the expedi tionary force from Mexico. With more than 150,000 regulars and national guardsmen soon to r ae available for border patrol work, the necessity for keeping General Pershing’s columns any great distance beyond the line has lessened, according to many officials. Ample forces are at hand to control the situation, even if the Mexican troops in northern Mexico are unable immediate ly to guarantee protection from raiders. In any event, It was pointed out. It will be Impossible for any considerable force of bandits to assemble for an attack across the line if General Carranza car ries out the promises made In his note "to employ all efforts” that may be at his disposal to avoid the recurrence of new Incidents which may complicate and aggravate the situation. NOTE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate, had this comment to make: "The note speaks for Itself. It is thoroughly explanatory and sets forth exactly the situation with the United States as viewed by the Mexi can government.” While the communication bears the signature of Foreign Minister Aguilar, It Is Relieved at both the embassy and the state department It has been per sonally dictated by General Carranza. American officials hope the complete absence of discourteous language and unwarranted charges of bad faith, such as have characterized the last two Mex ican notes, indicates that much of the suspicion as to the purposes of the Washington government has been re moved from the first chief"s mind. Copies of the note were sent by Mr. Arredondo to all embassies and legations in Washington including the Latin- American diplomats who have sought to arrange for mediation. Heretofore Secretary Lansing has made it plain that the United States government de sires no offer of mediation until Gen eral Carranza’s attitude and intentions were plainly stated, and the indications are that should the offers be renewed his position will be that beter results can be accomplished by direct negotia tions.

M The Bethlehem Steel Company’s Offer to Serve the United States At a time when the expenses of the Government are so enormous — Isn’t it worth while finding out the actual facts before plunging ahead into an expenditure of 311,000,000 of the people’s money for a Government armor plant ? To clear up the whole situation, and to put it on a basis as fair and business-like as we know how to express it, we njw make this offer to the Government: The Bethlehem Steel Company will manufacture armor plate for the Government of the United States at actual cost of operation plus such charges for overhead expenses, interest and deprecia tion as the Federal Trade Commission may fix. We will agree to . this for such period as the Government may designate. The House of Representatives voted down a proposal to empower the Federal Trade Commission to determine a fair price for armor, and allow private manu facturers opportunity to meet that price before the Government built its plant. Isn’t our proposition fair and ought it not to be accepted? The measure is now before the United States Senate. CHAS. M. SCHWAB, chairman Bethlehem Steel Cnmnanv EUGENE G.
