Spalding county will have its
primary April 5.
Why not a school fair for Butts
county this spring?
Get in behind the county fair
and show your mettle.
If anything must be lynched
why not lynch the boll weevil?
Why is it that the candidate
knows everybody—before the
election?
If you are for a bigger and bet
ter county fair now is the time to
declare yourself.
Everybody is agreed Georgia
has too many lynchings but how
to stop the evil is the rub.
Must he a late spring, now that
the Hon. G. Rufe Hutchens hasn’t
announced for something.
Governor Nat Harris has put it
squarely up to Dr. Hardman in
the matter of joint debates.
Congress will probably remain
in session well up into the sum
mer. More garden seed coming.
Wouldn’t it be fine if some sys
tem could be devised whereby all
the candidates could get an of
fice?
Butts county must have some
new and modern school houses in
the near future. Don’t forget
that.
Where two or three are gath
ered together these days there
you’ll find the political bee a-buz
zing,
Biennial sessions of the legis
lature and four year terms for
governor are two laws Georgia
needs.
It looks more and more like
Harris and Hardman will have
the gubernatorial race all to
themselves.
The candidate who stands for
election has no chance compared
to the one that gets out and runs
like a scared rabbit.
When a man gets thoroughly
inoculated with politics nothing
in the world will do him any good
but to cut loose and run.
There are many reasons in fp-
Tor of an early primary and no
good reason why the primary
should be long deferred.
The citizens of the state ought
to support the military organiza
tions they now have heartily and
enthusiastically. The Georgia
national guard is a most efficient
organization but it needs a better
financial and moral support.
It is figrued that the state road
pays about two per cent on the
investment. The people are learn
ing more about the state road
than they ever knew before.
The fellow who complains of
never seeing his name in the pa
per might try running for office
or recommending some of the
well known patent medicines.
About the most tiresome thing
in a political campaign is to listen
to the average candidate tell what
he is going to do if elected. If he
is elected he will do nothing
just what he is doing now. Da

The big issue this year, as for
merly, will be between the “ins”
and “outs.” There will be a lot
of platform-making and willing
ness to serve the “dear people”
and save the "state.” but the
above expresses it about as well
as anything else.
The Macon News explains
"preparedness” in a nutshell as
follows:
“Big armies and big navies do
not prevent war.
“Neither does the lack of pre
paredness insure peace.
“But this is true —as the pres
ident says: ‘The nation with ad
equate national defenses, con
sisting of an army of sufficient
size and a navy that will com
mand respect, is in a better condi
tion to meet war. And war be
ing a possibility, why not be pre
pared for it?’
“It will be too late once a war
begins to prepare for it.
* ‘This, as the News understands
it, is substantially the position
taken by the president, and it is
the view which must appeal most
forcibly to the average patriot,”

SIX OLD LADIES
REGAIN HEALTH
Famous Medicine Accom
plishes Wonderful Re
sults in Treating Infirm
ities of Old Age
For the past year or so, several
of the more elderly ladies of the
Old Ladies’ Home on Rutledge
Pike, Knoxville, Tenn., have been
in a very feeble, delicate state of
health, bordering at times on,
what might De termed a general
decline.
Their falling health was due,
no doubt, in a large measure, to
the general infirmitiesof advanced
age, and although they re
ceived every possible care and at
tention, they seemed to be be
yond the reach of the treatment
ordinarily administarted in such
cases.
At the suggestion of Mrs. Cul
ton, the matron of the institution,
they concluded to try Tanlac and
it was a happy decision indeed
when they did so. The reconstruc
tive powers of the medicine were
at once in evidence. They began
almost immediately to feel better,
eat better and rest better. Since
that time the treatment has been
continued with the most astonish
ing and gratifying results, but
let them tell their own stories in
their own individual way. Their
statements are profoundly inters
ting.
Mrs. Houser was one of the
first to use the medicine, and be
ing at a very advance age, her
troubles had been more persistent
and difficult to treat perhaps than
any of the others. Mrs. Houser
said:
“I have been in very weak,
nervous state for several years
and have suffered principally
from stomach trouble. I would
go for months at a time without
eating any solid food and up to a
short time ago, I spent most of
my time in my room, as I was too
weak to come down stairs. I ate
some corn bread and spare ribs
for dinner today and they seemed
to agree with me perfectly, as I
have suffere no bad after effects
whatever. The horrible head
aches and nevousness are gone
and lam feeling so much better
in every way.”
Mrs. Martin, who is next to
testify, said:
“I have suffered a great deal
from hard, darting pains in my
head and had stomach trouble.
I hardly ever have a pain now,
the cartarrh no longer troubles
me and my appetite is much bet
ter.”
Mrs. Fink said:
"I was sick all last summer and
now I feel better and stronger
than in months. I no longer
suffer from the headaches I had
so much.”
Mrs. Wallis seemed to be especi
ally delicate and had a very weak
constitution and weak stomach.
Mrs. Wallis said:
‘‘ln only one week after taking
your medicine I began to feel
greatly improved. I feel very
much stronger, enjoy my meals
more and seem to rest better at
night. I expect to continue tak
ing Tanlac.”
In referring to the above state
ments, Mr. G. F. Willis, who is
now personally directing the in
troduction of Tanlac throughout
the south, said:
"I consider the statements of
these old ladies.the most remark
able that have come under my
observation. Ido not hesitate to
say that I believe these indorse

ments to be the strongest that
have ever been received by a
proprietary medicine of any
character.”
Quoting from one of Mr. Coop
er’s lectures, Mr. Willis said:
‘‘When people grow to a ripe
old age, their digestive organs
lack vitality, and begin to act
more slowly and less effectually
than in youth. The circulation
becomes poor, the blood gets thin,
the appetite fails and the diges
tion weak.
‘‘Tanlac, the powerful recon
structive tonic, is the ideal
strengthener and body builder
for old folks, because it creates a
good healthy appetite, strength
ens digestion, enriches the blood
and in this natural manner builds
up, strengthens and invirogates
feeble, run-down, nervous peo
ple, and is an unfailing source of
comfort to the aged and infirm.”
