TEMPERANCE.
(By Mrs. Harry Scgars.)
GOVERNMENT TO HELP
ENFORCE LIQUOR LAWS.
In an announcement made yesttr
day by the internal revenue depart
ment in connection with the govern
ment’s crusade against moonshining
in Georgia, it was said that on and
after December 1 the government
would 00-op rate actively with state
and county and city officials in iho
suppression of the illegal liquor traf
fic.
Although the additional order was
issu'd without mention of the new
state prohibition law, which be
comes effective next May, it is sig
nificant as coming at this time.
The government finds that the pros
ecution of the moonshiners in the fed
oral court is too extensive an af
fair in this district, and is determin
ed to try another method.
The announcement was made by
Revenue Collector A. O. Blalock and
Revenue Agent I). L. Grant, and it
states that the department at Wash
ington has directed that revenue off!
cials report to solicitors of county
and city courts all violations of the
lawis against distilling or selling whin
key, together vqith the names of tho
offenders and the evidence on the
subject.
Deputies are also permitted to tes
tify in state courts and to assist in
the prosecution under state law*.
It was intimated unofficially that,
the government officials wouldn’t be
extra careful in their co-operation
about making distinctions between of
fenders against tho federal laws and
those who, while keeping within the
federal law, violated the state law.

THE WORLD’S GREATEST NEGRO
ORATOR AND EDUCATOR.
A few days ago the news was
flush* and a ros ; the wires that Booker
T. Washington, of Tuskeegee fame,
wis dead, and thoughtful, unprejudic
ed men realized that one of Ameri
ca’s worthwhile citizens had passed
from labor to refreshment.
From slave I>Q> to President of Tu?
kegee is a long way. He studied
under Gen. Armstrong at Hampton
College and When graduated he went
to Alabama and builded by the sheer
force If his ability an institution
that in some respects even surpasses
his alma mater. "Up from Slavery”
reads like modern romance.
York audiences, who heard him
speak pronounced him one of Amer
ica’s greatest orators.
He utterel many proverbs of worth
In a great peace meeting he said:
"You can not hold a man dowm in
the gutter without staying down
there with him.” That one saying
brings us face to face with the real
race problem in the South. Misce
genation is the great terror of the
problem today.
What are wie going to do wilth our
Negro situation. It is not so much
what we will do with the negro
problem as it is wdiat will the negro
do with us. Who will take Washing
ton’s place and will the man pursue
Washington’s policies or will an
other leader arise who "knew not
Joseph" and thus bring on greater
problems.
THE BIG THREE COMING.
(W. 11. Faust.)
There is progress in the air. Peo
ple have not to put their ears to
the ground to note a sound of move
ment. The light, of a grander day is
•lawming and the first rays of the
morning’s sun are shooting across
the horizon, soon iit will be daylight
everywhere. j >
1. Prohibition. Georgia is on re
cord as opposing whiskey to the
death. No one who attended the
last session of Harrow court can for
get the scene when, Tanner was sen
tenced and his broken-hearted wife
and helpless children filed out of the
court room. It was enough to Itop
any one who witnessed the scene
from handling liquor forever more.
2. Peace. It Is interesting to no-te
that Ford, one of America’s greatest
benefactors is interested in seeking
to bring about world-wide peace by
Christinas when we celebrate the
birthday of "The Prince of Peace.’’
3. Political Suffrage. Suffrage for
all responsible persons regardless of
sex. The educated white girl who
has to work for her property has as
much right to say Who shall make
laws governing it as the Ignorant
white boy.
Equal rights to all, special privi
leges to none. The last will hasten
the two preceding. When women
speak at the polls evil will flee.
Wny You Should Use Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy.
Because It has an established rep
utation won by its good works.
Because it is mosrt. esteemed by
those who have used it for many
years, as occasion required, and are
best acquainted with its good quai
Hies.
Because it loosens and relieves a
cold and aids nature in restoring the
system to a healthy condition.
Because it does not contain opium
or any other narcotic.
Because it is within the reach of
all. It only costs a quarter. Ob
tainable everywhere. Advt.

CHIEF ENGINEER GAINS 40
POUNDS ON EIGHT BOTTLES
A!m:st Lost Hope of Getting Well—
Takes Tanlac and Now Feel3 Bet
t:r Than for 25 Years.
‘‘Tanlac, to my mind is the great
est and grandest medicine in the
world,” said O. H. Mahaffey, Chief
Engineer of the Life & Casualty Bid.
Nas lville, a few days ago.
“I have taken eight bottles,” he
continued, “and have actually gained
forty pounds in weight, and feel
stronger and better than I have in
twenty-five years.
“Far two years I have suffered with
the worst kind of stomach trouble
and indigestion, and fell off in
weight from 210 pounds to 162. I
am now back at 202, which is almost
as much as I weighed before I was
taken sick. About six months ago I
got awful bad off, and called In the
doctor, and he told me I had an ul
cer of the stomach, and if I whs not
careful it might turn into cancer. He
gave me some medicine. I didn’t
seem to get any better and was
afraid to eat anything except a lit
tle oatmeal and sweet milk, but in
spite of everything I could do, I just
kept going down hill, and got weak
er and weaker every day. I got so
disheartened one day I told my em
ployer it looked like L would have to
throw/ up my job. I was trying to
hold on through as long as I ooiTld,
for I had a family to support, and
I made up my mind that just as long
as I could drag myself around 1
would stick it out.
"One day my wife told me what
she had read In the papers and
What the neighbors were saying
about Tanlac, and begged me to try
it. She had read about a man ■who
had taken it, who described my case
exactly, and he was getting lots bet
ter, but I had tried all kinds of med
icines, so I didn’t have much hope ol
it doing me much good. Besides, my
doctor had already told me I would
have to be operated on in order to
get relief. Something just told me
though, it might help me, and I de
cided to try it.
"After I had taken it a day or
twHo I got so hungry I just simply
had to eat, and I did eat, and you
can believe me or not, nothing seem
ed to hurt me a particle. My w'ife
said to me, “Tanlac must be help
ing you,’ and I said, ‘I guess it is
from the way I am eating.’
"It wasn’t long before those awful
pains in my stomach and the stmall
of mv back began to leave me. Then
I noticed I began to sleep better, and
1 would get up in the mornings full
of life and icndy to work. The med
icine seemed to take hold quicker
than any tiling I ever saw, and brac
ed me right up. I am telling all my
friends about Tanlac, and hope ev
erybody will hear about it.” Sold
