2 GUMMY SAYS WIFE ■ IS ALWAYS BRIGHT ffl MFI NOW Friends Say They Never In All Their Lives Saw Anybody Pick Up So Fast—Gains Fif teen Pounds • “My wife has sained fifteen pounds in Weight and she's like a new woman. - I honestly believe Tanlac has saved her life.” said R. L. Garman, of Martinez. Gx.. to the Tanlac man in Howard’s drug ftora, Augusta. Ga., a few days ago. "Two years ago." continued Mr. Gar many. “my wife began suffering with indigestion and it looked like at times she would suffer death with pain and misery caused by the pressure from gas • on her stomach. She was so nervous • and full of pain she oouldn't sleep scarcely any and was so weak many a day ahe couldn't turn her hands to do a thing, and she had an expression of suffering and depression on her face all tits lime. She took many different kinds of medicine, but she kept getting worse and was Rising weight and going down hill so fast it was frightful. •'Tanlac certainly is grand medicine. Since taking four bottles she has not only gained fifteen pounds in weight, but she is relieved of all that terrible suffering besides. She eats hearty and sleeps well now and does all her house* ’ work without the least trouble. All that pained expression has disappeared from her face and she's always bright and cheerful. Everyone who has seen her since she .took Tanlac says they never saw anyone pick up so fast in all their lives. It’s a pleasure for me to endorse Tanlac because it has proved tn my wife's case that it's fine medicine.** *. , public is warned against buying Tanlac from any dealer excepting duly authorized agents.

Aefure ALL JUDGE REAGAN TELLS WATSONTOLEADMDB I IFHEMEANSTHREAT Chairman of State Democratic Executive Committee Replies to Talk of Tar and Feathers in the Jeffersonian s Judge E. J. Reagan, chairman of the * state Democratic executive committee, r Wednesday issued a statement to the ’ public In answer to what he declared was a threat recently made by Thomas * E. Watson in the Jeffersonian, “that if ‘ he (Watson) and his followers could not * rule the coming state convention In the i interest of Hugh Dorsey for governor, i I as chairman of the state executive * committee was to be tarred, feathered, , ridden on a rail and manhandled." > In his statement Judge Reagan makes 1 public a letter written to Watson ’n i which he tells Watson: * “If you see proper to attempt to have ' me tarred and feathered, ridden on a rail and manhandled, please be man enough ; to accompany the mob yourself and en i courage them by your presence, even if i you are too timid to hold one end of the rail. You are in good health and are i able to travel and are no older than 1 I am. So come along and lot me greet you at the head of your rail and tar ' brigade." , Judge Reagan's statement follows in i full: TEXT OF STATEMENT ! To the Democrats of Georgia: As temporary head of the Democratic . party in Georgia, being chairman of its : state executive committee, I wish to ( call the attention of all Democrats in Georgia to the threat openly made by Thomas E. Watson in the Jeffersonian, that if he and his followers could not rule the coming state convention in the Interest of Hugh M. Dorsey for gov ernor, I, as the chairman of the state executive committee was to be tarred and feathered, ridden on a rail and man handled. The following is the threat: “Judge Reagan, of McDonough, has been in Atlanta several days, blowing around, and bragging about his inten tion to put the steam roller to Dorsey at the convention. “Go slow. Judge. “You wouldn’t look too pretty, wear ing a new suit of tar and feathers; and you can ride on the cars with more comfort than you could get out of a ride on a fence rail. “If you try any of your steam roller tactics on Hugh Dorsey, you will soon learn what it means to be- manhandled. All of us know how desperate the anti- Dorsey combination is, and we know that it will not hesitate at any crime; but, knowing this, we will be ready for the fray. “Leave your Hardwick-Pottle-Robson steam roller at home. Judge.” From the Jeffersonian of August 24, 111*. There is not a word of truth in the article, for I never bragged about put ting the steam roller to any one, and never in my life mentioned the steam roller In connection with Hugh Dorsey, but the fact that there is no truth in the statement does not concern Mr. Wat son. He never bothers about little mat ters like thia. I have written this regular character assassin, arch-foe of the Democratic party, traducer of every one of its lead ers for the past twenty-five years, that when his mob comes to tar and feather me I desire that he be its leader in the front rank. It is a matter of supreme indifference to me what Mr. Watson may think or say about me, but it should be a matter of the gravest im port to every Democrat in Georgia that this man. who is attempting to destroy the Democratic party should openly threaten to attack the chairman of the state executive committee. As soon as I read his threat I sent him the following letter: LETTER TO WATSON. “McDonough. Ga., Aug. 24, 1916. “Hon. Thomas E. Watson. Thomson, Ga. “Dear Sir: I notice in this week's Jef fersonian that you contemplate having me tarred and feathered and manhan dled at the approaching state conven tion. You knew when you wrote that article that my term as chairman of the state Democratic executive committee would expire with the meeting of the convention, and that a new chairman would be elected as soon as the conven tion was organized. and before the balloting for governor begins, and that I will not have an opportunity to “put the steam roller to Dorsey," or any one else. I will not be chairman of the convention, no matter which fac tion controls it. I take it for granted, however, that if a majority of the dele gates are opposed to Dorsey that they will control the convention and nomi nate some one else, and that they will elect some man chairman who has back bone enough to see to it that the minor ity does not control the convention even In the face of your threat to have him tarred and feathered and 'manhandled.' It is true that your threat is against me, but inasmuch as the acts that you are apprehensive will be committed must be committed by the chairman of the convention I presume that you would have your castigation inflicted upon the acting chairman, whoever he might be. as well as upon myself. lam sorry that you are so belligerent, and trust that if you do see proper to bring on a regular war in the convention, that when you organize, arm, and equip your army for the ‘fray,’ that you will be brave enough to act the true general and march at the head of your army and not skulk in the rear. It is very easy to have others to carry on a fight when you can. yourself, direct your bat tle from a bomb-proof position in the rear, but it is another, and quite differ ent, to march at the head of the col , umn where the bullets are flying. If you see proper to attempt to have I me tarred and feathered, ridden on a rail, and “manhandled,” please be man enough to accompany the mob yourself i and encourage them by your presence even if /ou are too timid to hold one 9 end of the rail. There is no reason why s you should not do so. You are in good : health, are able to travel, and are no t older than I am. So come along and let - me greet you at the head of your rail e and tar brigade. BE BRAVE AS BRUTUS. r Come on over to the Macon conven tion, and if your crowd is in the major ity and has a majority of the dele i gates, no one will even attempt to pre vent them from controlling the con vention, or from the free use of “the steam roller.” And if the other crowd is in the majority and your crowd is in the minority and unable to outvote the l majority, and they have the audaci’y to refuse to allow you to nominate your ' 1 candidate by a minority vote, and if for ' this refusal you bring on a "fray," andi I feathers, tar. rails and blood fill the con , vention hall, it will be great encourage ment to your brave soldiers to have! their brave general by their side.

PENDING ACTION OF CONGRESS, DELAY OF ' WALKOUT IS URGED (Continued from Page One.) his efforts to have the measure rushed. Besides that, the president takes the position that it is the patriotic duty of the brotherhood leaders to rescind or postpone the strike order in view of his recommendations to congress and the efforts being made to act upon them. BILL IS SATISFACTORY. "Enactment into law of the presi dent’s eight-hour day bill as now drawn, guaranteeing the present ten-dour day wage,” said W, G. Lee, head of the train men's brotherhood, “wMI be regarded as a satisfactory settlement of our differ ences with the railroads and there will be no strike. To prevent a strike, how ever, this bill must become a law before next Saturday midnight.” The senate interstate commerce com mittee arranged its first public hearings on the measure today, and allowed three hours each for argument by brother hoods and railroads. The plan was to present the finished draft to the senate Saturday, ready for immediate action. HOUSE AGAINST DELAY. The house, however, was not disposed to wait so long. Its leaders set Friday afternoon as the time when they would take the initiative if the senate had not acted, and give assurance that the house would pass the measure then un der special rule, making it effective No vember 1. The measure contemplated would es tablish eight hours as the standard work day for railroad employes engaged in interstate commerce, it would authorize appointment by the president of a com mission to study conditions under the eight-hour day and report its recommen dations to congress, the president and through the president to the interstate commerce commission; pending the re port daily wages should not be reduced below’ the present day for longer hours. other measures were under conten, plation, but the eight-hour day and in vestigation proposals were regarded as the most effective pieces of emergency legislation. The attitude of congress today, that of determination to prevent the strike, was exemplified by the resolution, penn ing in the senate, calling on brotherhoou officials to suspend the strike-order for one week; and the statement of Senator Thomas, that if the government failed to protect the public in such a crisis, it had no right to call Itself a govern ment. House leaders decided not to wait for the senate to act as they first planned and agreed on a bill designed to carry out the president’s recommendations for an eight-hour day and a commission investigation. It has some modification from the senate drafts. It was intro duced by Representative Adamson, of Georgia, chairman of the interstate com merce committee, and has the backing of Speaker Clark and Democratic Lead er Kitchin. Unless the senate acts promptly on the two propositions—the only ones in the president’s program favored, by house leaders at this time —a special rule will be invoked to rush the Adam son bill through the an<f over to the senate by Saturday. Postmaster General Burleson also conferred with Chairman Adamson on movements of the malls. They discuss ed the old law of 1862, which allowed the president to operate railroads in case of public necessity. sinate him. killed him himself in the streets of the city. The world has alwayp had more re spect for Brutus than they w’ould have entertained for him had he incited oth ers to kill him. Had he been a coward he would have adopted this method. If your interest in, and loyalty and devo tion to, the Democratic party in Georgia arouses in your breast a well founded belief that the chairman of the party has acted, or will act in a manner that is dangerous to the party and to the state, and needs castigation for the same, it would be much better for your reputa tion if you should follow the Brutus method of its application even if It was a little more dangerous to your health. Very respectfully, E. J. REAGAN. My friends know that I have always opposed convention nomination. I am against the county unit rule, and believe that the vote of a Democrat ought <to count equally in any place in Georgia, and if the committee had adopted the plan suggested by me, there would have been no convention nomination, but the candidates for governor and all other offices would have been nominated by a majority of the voters at the polls, but, unlike Mr. Watson, I always abide the action of the majority, and, so far as I have anything to do with the conven tion, will, in good faith enforce these rules. This I tried to do in the con vention in 1914, and for so doing, have been maligned and abused by this same man Watson in his filthy sheet for the past two years. It is also well known that both Mr. Watson and Mr. Dorsey are in favor of the county unit and convention plan of nominating. The faction to which they belong reinstated it in Georgia after the convention at w’hlch Hon. Hoke Smith was first nominated for governor had provided for nominating all officers by a direct vote of the people. WILL RUN AN INDEPENDENT. Now, this 'lßull Moose,” Republican, Thomas E. Watson, is threatening that if he cannot have the convention abro gate his own rule, and the rule of his candidate, and nominate Dorsey any way that he will bust up the convention, by tarring, feathering, riding on a rail, and "manhandling,” its officers. If ho should fail to have his candidate nomi nated by the Democratic convention, no one doubts that he will have an inde-’ pendependent candidate to run against the nominees. This would not be sur prising as he generally goes into the primaries and when his candidate is de feated, runs him either willingly or un willingly as an independent. He is now violently opposed io Wood row Wilson as president, and his paper teems with slander of this great man. He is giving, as far as in his power he can, his support to Hughes, who is wav ing the bloody shirt and attempting for the first time in a decade to revive sec tional bitterness against the south. But it is no new thing for him to join in with the traducers of his own people. It is a fine spectacle. Democrats, Thomas E. Watson and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company joining hands to control the Democratic party of the state, and threatening violence to the officers of the Democratic party, and the disruption of the party itself, if they cannot control the coming state conven tion.

ALLULASd EOAI N IU H I Junta, Ga, DilBStV PLATFORM SHAM, DECLARES JOE POTTLE “Aii Unworthy Appeal to Pas sion and Prejudice,” He Tells Dawson Voters i (Special Dispatch to The .Journal.) DAWSON, Ga., Aug. 30. —While dis cussing the candidacy of Hugh M. Dor sey here today Joseph E. Pottle declared that "Mr. Dorsey’s platform on the sub ject of executive clemency is a sham, pretense and fraud and an unworthy appeal to the passions and prejudices of the people.” He said that "Mr. Dorsey’s real platform was based on a propo sition which be does ont dare to public ly announce, because he knows that if he did do so it would shock the people's sense of propriety. “Notwithstanding this fact," said Mr. Pottle, “Mr. Dorsey is by indirection and insinuation planting his campaign entirely on this vaguely-concealed issue. No man worthy to be elected to the high office of governor should be able tn get his consent to seek the office on such ignoble grounds." L. & N. SCHEME. Referring to the several schemes of the Louisville and Nashville railroad to destroy the Western and Atlantic rail road and the part that Mr. Dorsey had as a member of the law firm represent ing the Louisville and Nashville, Mr. Pottle said. “The trail from the firm, of which Mr. Dorsey was a member, to the Louisville and Nashville railroad company, is so plain that it may be seen clearly by any one. Not only was the suit filed in the superior court of Fulton county by that law firm to enabel the Louisville and Nashville, their clients, to parallel the Western and Atlantic railroad, but it has been openly charged on the floor of the house of representatives that the so-called interurban bill was prepared in the office of Mr. Dorsey’s law firm and that this bill had for its object the same end, namely, to permit the Louis ville and Nashville to get around the anti-paralleling law.” Going further into the Western and Atlantic railroad question Mr. Pottle said: “It is notorious that the Louisville and Nashville railroad company has, for many years, been offensively active in the political affairs of several southern states. There is now pending in the supreme court of the District of Colum bia a proceeding on behalf of the United States government to compel Milton H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville, to answer the following ques tion, asked him while a witness before the interstate 'commerce commission. “ ‘How much money did the Louis ville and Nashville railroad company expend for political purposes in Georgia in 1912, 1913, 1914 and 1915? “That question was asked him by Hon. Joseph W. Folk, the attorney for the government, and Mr. Smith replied: ‘On the advice of counsel I decline to answer the question.' AFTER POLITICAL CONTROL. “This incident demonstrates conclu sively that the Louisville and Nash ville railroad has been and is engaged in an effort to employ the same means to control the politics of this state that it has emplojed in the other states re ferred to. “Its counsel and advisors in these activities have been and are the firm of lawyers of which Mr. Dorsey was until a few days ago a member. It Js a significant fact, and has a very sus picious flavor, that Mr. Dorsey’s law firm never represented the Louisville and Nashville railroad until it became generally understood in Georgia that Mr. Dorsey was to be a candidate for governor.” A large audience, representative of all classes of Terrell county citizens, gath ered in the court house here this morn ing to greet Mr. Pottle after his speech. His hearers crowded up to tell him what a fine impression he had made and to express the opinion that he would carry this county. Mr. Pottle was introduced by Colonel J. R. Irwin, a leading attorney of this city. A few minutes atter he arrived at the hotel here this morning a delegation of twenty or twenty-five prominent cit izens of Terrell county called to shake hands with Mr. Pottle and to congratu late him on his effective and successful campaign. Some of those in the delega tion were H. A. Wilkinson, lawyer; T. B. Raines, farmer; Dr.' J. W. Patterson, Dr. J. G. Dean, J. R. Irwin, lawyer; M. H. Marshall, nurseryman; J. A. Fergu son, farmer; Uncle Billy Hairbuck, a well-known Confeedrate veteran; M. H. Marshall, Jr., automobile dealer; J. Z. Turner, sheriff of Terrell county; J. A. Laing, former solicitor geenral of the Pataula circuit and a number of others. This afternoon Mr. Pottle will speak at Shellman, in Randolph county. On Thursday he speaks at Cuthbert, Ran dolph county, and Edison, Calhoun county. EVEH SALIVATED 81 ~ CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!

Hull September 3, 1916. 2 Cor. 11:21-12:10. Golden Text—“My grace is sufficient lor thee; for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Cor. 12:9. When Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthians he was under the great stress of having his ministry question ed. Certain men had come in and im pugned his motives, had charged him with inconsistency and hypocrisy, and had sought to discredit him by making all manner of false accusations. The letter was written under the sting of this charge. In the last four chapters he is defending himself and his min istry. In the part which has been se lected for our lesson today we have his answer to one or two of the charges made against him, given with an in tensity of feeling which could have been explained under no other circumstances. No one was more averse to speaking of himself than was Paul, but under these circumstances he was driven to it. it was necessary for their sakes that he let them know his right to minister to them. In defending himself he gives us a bird’seye view of his life which we find nowhere else, and which proves him to have been indeed the chief apos tle. His opponents boasted of being He brews; so was he, he said. They boast ed of being Israelites; that is, Hebrews who were also descendants of Abra ham, and therefore able to claim the promises. So was he, he saidl They claimed to be children of Abraham; that is, Israelites who were looking for the fulfillment of all the Messianic promises; so was he. he said. They claimed to be ministers of Christ; sowas he, he said, and much more so ’than they. Then he went on to prove it by showing what the office of minister of Jesus Christ had meant to him. He had been beaten eight times. He had been an outcast, hated of the Jews because he preached the gospel of the Gentiles, and hated of the Gentiles because he was a Jew. Many had been the perils and privations which he had suffered as the result of his position. His perils had been abundant, and on top of them he had been full of anxious care for all the churches, and even of the individuals in the churches, for when any individual stumbled it made him burn up. He had been shipwrecked three times and stoned once and left for dead; and in addition to this, he had been given a thorn in the flesh, a constant min ster of Satan to buffet him, so that he was never free from testing or temptation. Other men boasted of other things, but Paul’s boasting was in his weaknesses. Most men boasted of their birth. In the foreign countries this is more marked than in America, but even in free America, where all mfcn are sup posed to be equal, there are societies and cliques which are based upon birth and blood. The average man boasts of what he owns. Those who cannot boast of their blood boast of. their possessions. The number of self-macTe men almost exceeds the number of men that God made, >f you listen to them talk. Still other men boast of their accomplishments, of their culture, the things that they have ac quired in their Ilves, mental attain ments, literary abilities, musical and ar tistic ability, which have been highly developed. Still others boast of their social qualities and make much of so called society. While others boast in their triumprs, political and intellectu al, even though their victory has meant somebody else’s defeat. It is a sad tale • to tell, but there are some men who boast of their spiritual triumphs. Compare these with Paul’s boasting. How that for Jesus’ sake he had suf fered all of these things and gave us the answer to their charge that he was not a true minister of Christ, a list of the things that he had suffered for Jesus’ sake, even emphasizing the things which were regarded as human weaknesses. How else can we account for his calling attention to the humiliat ing way that he left Damascus, or for The American Government By Frederic J. Haskin, Author of “The Panama Canal” Haven’t you often wished for a true picture of your government? Not a Democratic picture, not a Republican picture, but an accurate, unprejudiced, non-political picture of the government of which you are a part and partner? That picture is now for the first time put before the American people. Frederic J. Haskin, in his book, “The American Government,” has set forth the story of the actual workings of the great gov ernmental machine in a manner at once so skillful and accurate as to win the commendation of our greatest states men, Republican and Democrat alike, and which will quicken the pulse of ev ery American who reads it. The lid of the White House is lit erally lifted off that you may see your presidents as though you lived with them, what they are, what they do, how they live. The impenetrable dignity of the su preme court is removed as if by magic that you may see the inner workings of the most powerful tribunal on earth. You are carried to the ports and the courts of the world to see the thousand and one tentacles of your department jf state, absorbing political and commerl cial information, often without your knowledge, but always for your benefit. You are shown how the weather bu reau is pulling down the secrets of th.? upper air to aid the shippers of mer chandise, to safeguard those who travel on the seas, and to give the farmers warning and advice in the care of theiV crops.

But to leave Paul’s argument, con ceding that he has proven the charges that he was a true minister of Christ as false, let us answer the question which is in our mind; “Why should Paul, as the servant of Christ, have had to suffer as he did?” This brings us to that question which is as old as the ages. The question which was an swered in the oldest book in the Bible | the book of Job—the mystery of suf-' sering. Most people answer it as Job’s three friends did, that it is .because you have sinned Was this the reason why l Paul suffered as he did? Hardly. What was the reason then? Principally to bring him to the place where he would have no confidence in -himself. It was to test himself first in order that be might put God to the test. If you hadj everything go your way all the time you really would not know how strong you were or how weak, nor would you be able to experience any thing of the marvels of God's grace. The rich man can know as long as he has wealth how gracious it is to have God provide one’s temporal needs, to be up against it and not know where the money was coming from to meet the next demand and then to have God provide it in an almost miraculous way Another reason for Paul’s suffering was to purify him. He had lots of the old nature in him and that dross had to be burned out, and the gdld refined. That is a marvelous passage in Mali chi where God says, “I will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.” In other woids when we are in the crucible and in the furnace of affliction God never takes, his eye from us until the dross has been burned out, and he can see the reflection of his image in our lives, and then the crucible is removed from the furnace. Otherwise the metal would be oxidized and ruined. God never lets us stay in too long or takes us out too soon. And the third reason is to magnify his name. Paul not only suffered more than any other man for Christs sake, bue he had marvelous visions given him Once, he tells us, he was caught up into the third heaven where God is most manifest and there saw unspeak* able things. To keep him from being puffed up too much with* pride God al lowed the devil to give him a thorn in the flesh. , Three times he asked God to take that away, but God’s answer was. “No, if I took that away I should also have to take away my grace. I am going to leave it, but at the same time I am going to give you my grace which is sufficient for thee.” And when Paul re alized what that grace meant, he said to the Corinthians, ‘‘l would rather have •the thorn In the flesh and God’s grace with it than to have it taken away and not know the marvels of that sufficient grace." He had learned by it the great est lesson that any man could learn. That the way to* be strong is to be weak. . The way to be something is to be nothing; the way to be independent is to be absolutely dependent upon God. The way to conquer is to surrender. YOUR SUFFERING.
