(From Thomaston <Ga.' Times '
Tncle Ijir I *-’•'arley says. “I can per
sonally recommend Tanlac to anybody."
Both he and Mrs. Farley have gained
several pounds and their health gen
erally is improved
Uncle Lark needs no introduction in
this county, but as the Times has some
few readers abroad we’ll tell "them wbo
he is. Away back in the 70’s, we think
It was. a poor country t>oy. who was
teo delicate to work on his father’s
farm, opened up a little country store
winch he operated successfully for
thirty-five years, losing only SSS in bad
accounts during his entire business ca
reer. Finally his health became so bad
that he had to give up his business
Then he came to Thomaston and soon
Afterwards organized the Bank of
Thomaston of which he has been the
Financial Backer ever since.
Two months ago. Uncle Lark and his
wife commenced taking Tanlac and now
he Bays’ that his stomach is in the
very best condition and his knees have
Itgibered up and.pain him very little.
Hi is confident that another month’s
treatment of Tanlac will entirely re
store his health which he lost In child
hood. and if It does, believe me. Wall
street had better look out for a man
who can make the fortune Uncle, Lark
has with his health, what will he do
as a well man? Uncle 1-ark is known
as a Retired Capitalist, but. he says
he Is now a younger man than either
of his numerous Son-In-laws and is

LEGISLATURE MEETS
HERE JUNE 27 FDR
ITS. ■UAL SESSION
Governor-Elect. Dorsey Will Be
Inaugurated on Saturday
Following Opening Session!
When Gov. Harris Goes Out
The general assembly of Georgia will
meet in Atlanta next Wednesday. June
27. and the house and senate will con
vene at the hour of 10 o’clock, which
is the fixed hour for the opening of
the first day’s session.
Already the Kimball house lobby is
grounds has a squad of janitors and
sweepers busy in the hall of represen
tatives and In the senate chamber, re
moving the accumulated layers of dust
from the desks of the members and pol
ishing the windows and renovating the
galleries.
Already the Kimball House lobby is
beginning to fill up with legislators past
and present and with politicians from
the state at large, and the atmosphere
of that famous stamping ground is get
ting brisk with gossip.
At 10 o'clock the gavels will fall in
the house and the senate and the ma
chinery of legislation will be set in
motion for the annual session lasting
fifty days.
The house will be called to order by
the clerk. E. Bismarck Moore, of Fulton
county, and the members will take the
oath of office from a justice of the state
supreme court. The next step in the
organization of the house will be the
election of a speaker, and for this of
fice there are three candidates, as fol
lows:
CANDIDATES FOR SPEAKER.
W. H. Burwell, of the county of Han
cock. speaker of the last house and the
one before: Nath F. Culpepper, of the
county of Meriwether, a member of the
last house and the one before; John N.
Holder, of the county of* Jackson, speak
er of the two houses Immediately pre
ceding Mr. Burwell’s tenure as speaker.
After electing a speaker the house
will then elect a clerk. E. Mismarck
Moore, who succeeded Colonel John T.
Boifeuillet at the bone-dry extra session,
is a candidate. Opposing him are J.
B. Jackson, of the county of Jones, and
Levi Reeves, or the county of Bartow.
For speaker pro-tem of the house,
which Is the next office to be “filled,
there seem to be no candidates as yet,
though the office will certainly not go
begging for applicants.
Next after speaker pro-tem the house
will elect a messenger, for which J. B.
D. Paulk and W. C. Davidson are can
didates. and then will elect a doorkeeper,
for which there are several candidates.
Meanwhile the senate will follow the
same routine of perfecting organization.
The secretary of that body. Major
Devereaux F. McClatchey. late of the
county of Cobb, but now of the county
of Fulton, will call the senate to order.
The senators will take the oath of of
fice from a justice of the supreme court.
Then the senate will elect a president
for which there are two candidates, to
wlt:
Samuel Lumpkin Olive, of Augusta, a
former member of the house, ajid R. A.
Denny, of Rome.
After electing a president the senate
will unanimously elect Major McClat
chey to the position of secretary, and
then will elect a president pro tern, for
which position Roscoe Peacock, of East
man. is a candidate.
Then the senate will elect a messen
ger. for which C. M. Hooks, of For
i syth. and Flynn Hargett, of Atlanta,
| are candidates, and after that will elect
i a doorkeeper, thus completing organi
i zation.
INAUGURATION ON SATURDAY.
On Saturday will take place the in
auguration ‘of the new governor. Hugh
! M. Dorsey. This ceremony will be held
■ in the hall of representatives in the
, presence of the house and senate in
I joint session presided over by the presi
dent of the senate, and the hour of
I the ceremony will be 12 o’clock, noon.
Governor Nat E. Harris will deliver
his farewell address and will then turn
over to the secretary of state, Phil
i Cook, the great seal of state, and Secre-
I tary Cook will then turn over the seal
' to the new governor, who will take the
| oath of office and deliver his inaugural
address, after which the ceremony will
adjourn.
For the first week or ten days in
the house and senate there will be very
little business, pending the announce
ment by the speaker and president, re
spectively, of their appointments of
the standing committees of the two bod
ies, which it usually takes them sever
al days to make up.
After this the lawmakers will settle
down to the business Os introducing bills
and referring them to committees and
■ waiting for the committees to report..
Having disposed of the prohibition
issue by enacting the dryest bone-dry
law that was ever written on the stat
ute books of any sovereign common
wealth the previous legislature made
it necessary for its successor to turn
to other subpects. and the financial con
dition of the state will probably occu
py a major portion of the sesion.
With appropriations for 1917 already
almost 1500.000 in excess of estimated
revenue, there will be a determined es-
■ fort to repeal the tax equalisation law.
1 which Is the only bulwark between the
' treasury and an even greater de-,
flett
This law, by compelling the return of
property for taxation, and be securing
at least the semblance of an assess
ment upon the value thereof, has In
creased tax values nearly $100,000,000
since it was passed, and has enabled
the state to keep its financial head at
least in reaching distance of the sur
face, where it could bob up occasional
ly and catch a breath of air.
TAXES NECESSARY
It is generally conceded that a re
peal of the tatx equalization law would
almost immediately result in a shrink
age of tax values, and in order to meet
this situation the advocates of repeal
ing the law will put forward a variety
of special taxes, including a proposal
to tax soft drinks and soft drink syrups
manufactured in the state.
Opponents of the* repeal of the tax
equalization law will make a determined
fight to keep it on the statute books,
and this fight will be the major fight
of the 1917 session.
Appropriations for the maintenance of
the government will be made up by the
‘ appropritions committee of the house
and reported to that body, and the ap
propriation bill when passed will go
jto the senate. The bill will carry the
i appropriations for 1918 and 1919. The

nature of this bill will depend in very
large measure upon the outcome of the
tight to repeal the tax equalization law.
The law making the attorney general
supervisor of county records, passed
last year, will be the subject of at
tention. Under this law the attorney
general. Clifford Walker, has made ai
rangements with attorneys in various
counties to enforce the payment of in
heritance taxes on a commission basis
of 10 per cent. The arrangement has
been criticised, but the attorney gen
eral says he is repared to meet these
criticisms when the matter comes up.
There will be a bill to rearrange the
senatorial districts and create five new
districts. There will be bills to create
the new counties of Cook. Treutlen,
Peach, Atkinson and possibly others.
There will be a bill to submit to the
people a constitutional amendment re
moving the capital from Atlanta to Ma
con. This bill came up in the house
last year and failed. The Macon peo
ple are still campaigning, however.
There will be a bill to create in the
agricultural department a market bu
reau. This will have the support of
the state food council recently created.
It is an Important measure not only
for the duration of the war. but as a
means of securing diversified crops in
the future. The department of agricul
ture is now organizing local warehouse
market companies In the principal coun
ties. These companies take the farmer’s
food products and pay him cash, then
prepare the products for market and
ship In car lots to the consuming points
A central market bureau is very essen
tial to complete the plan, by collecting
daily In Atlanta the latest market quo
tations throughout the country, so as to
direct the local market companies where
to ship.
An effort will probably be made to
change the status of the state highway
commission, which has accomplished
really remarkable results, considering
the fact that the law providing for its
esablishment gave the commission prac
tically no authority and no funds.

Sure! High Heels
Cause Corns But
Who Cares Now
Because style decrees that women
crowd end buckle up their tender toes
In high heel footwear they suffer from
corns, then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women azu

A few drops of a drug called freef
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone. which
costs very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or cal

This drug is an ether compound and
