A Card from Dr. Hardman
To the people of Georgia.
I wish to express to the
people of Georgia my high ap
preciation of the splendent support
which was given me in my race
for Governor, in ine primary of
August 10th.
It is a genuine pleasure to recall
the heart) ovation which the pen
pie gave ine all over the st tie dur
itig my campaign. Not in a sin
gle instance, did one thing occur
to mar the pleasure of the race.
It will be one of m,v cherished
memories to contemplate the hear
ty approval which the people of
Georgia gave the high ideals of
campaigning and righteous prin
eiples of government for the up
lift ol the masses of citizens.
It occurs to me to day. as it did
before I entered the campaign for
Governor, that there is an oppor
tunity for Georgia to set pace for
other states in high ideals of law
enforcement and in providing
more ample legislation for the
protection and restraint in the
waste of human life. A noble
movement this would be and I
hope for this through our govern
mental authorities.
1 desire to congratulate Judge
Nat 10. Harris and Hon. It n
dolph Anderson foi their mag
nificent race as well as for tln-ir
kind and gentlemanly treatment
of their opponent, and 1 want to
extend to them my profound syin
pathy in the bereavement which
came to them luring the progress
of the compaign. 1 wish lor each
of them a most happy and pros
perotts future.
Yours very truly,
L. G. Hardman
Dead Men So ThicK
They Could Not Fall
Lon.lnn, Aug. 2ti. —A Times
correspondent home from the front,
says:
“In the narrow streets of Char
leroi the carnage was indeserib
aide. A French infantryman
told me that the roads
became so jammed with dea l
that the killed remained standing
upright where they had been
shot, supported by their dead
comrades.
“The last stand of the French
was made before the railway
sbition, in front of which passes
the canal. Here the Germans
fought for two hours to take the
bridge. After they had cap
tured the station with
heavy j casualties the Germans
moved rapidly ahead taking var
ious suburban villages.”

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able, to cure in all
its stanges, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional j treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cuic is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitutation and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer <>ne Hun
died Hollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi -
