GEORGIA PEOPLE
PRAISING TANLAC
L. L. Hooks, of Roswell,
Says He Was Almost
Down and Could Not
Work at All. Gains 35
Pounds on Tanlac
The following letter from the
G. T. Lyon Drug Company of
North Roswell, Ga., is self ex
planatory:
“North Roswell, Ga., Jan. 27,
1916.
Mr. G. F. Willis, Atlanta Ga.
“Dear Sir—We are enclosing
a testimonial which we have just
received from L. L. Hook, of this
place. He seems very grateful
for what Tanlac has done for
him, and every word he says is
the truth.
“This man has been in bad
health for years, and was almost
down when we got him to try
Tanlac. Now he talks it to his
friends all the time, and is anx
ious to tell other people what it
has done for him. Yours very
truly,
“G. T. Lyon Drug Cos.”
Mr. Hooks statement, written
in his own words, follows below
just as it was given. Mr. Hook
said:
“I suffered from one of the
worst cases of indigestion and
stomach trouble any man ever
had. I couldn’t eat hardly any
thing and nothing tasted right.
At times gas on my stomach
would almost choke me. Noth
ing agreed with me. and what
I would eat didn’t give me any
strength.
“I commenced taking Tanlac
because I saw what it was doing
for other people, and I could see
all the difference in the world
right from the start. It simply
did wonders for me, and made
ma feel like anew man.
Before taking Tanlac I couldn’t
do any work at all. Now I am
using the pick and shovel every
day, and can do any other kind
of work I want to. When I weigh
ed the other day 1 found I had
gained 35 pounds. That’s what
Tanlac did for me. I want you
to send this to Atlanta and have
it published for I think every
body ought to know about this
medicine.”
Another interesting letter was
received this week from A. J.
Gillen, proprietor of a large de
partment store at Maxeys. Ga.,
and gives further evidence of
the remarkable results now be
ing accomplished by Tanlac
throughout the south.
Mr. Gillen said: “I have a cus
tomer who was in bed three years
and did not go to a meal at any
time. She had five fine physi
cians and they gave her up. One
bottle got her up. After taking
the second bottle she kept house
and on the third bottle she cook
ed and did all the house work for
a family of eight. I can get this
testimonial for you if vou care to
have it,”
Mr. Gillen has been requested
to furnish full details regarding
this unusual case, and her com
plete statement will be published
at an early date.
Tanlac is sold bv Slaton Drug
Cos., in Jackson, and Dr. A. F.

BELIEVES VOTERS WILL
RALLY TO COV. HARRIS
The farmer has now pulled over the
grade. Peas are ripe, potatoes are
cracking the ground, the rattle of the
rea[>er is heard in the land and the
fields are odorous with the fragrance of
new mown hay. We are all looking
forward with happy anticipations to
the Butts County Fair. Bet all the
farmers make a rousing exhibit.
It was our pleasure to listen to the
splendid speech of Governor Harris on
last Monday. He spoke in high terms
of his opponents and this we admire in
any man. He spoke one hour and a
half and during the whole time he held
his audience throughout almost to a
man and throughont his speech was as
eloquent as Demosthenes. Let every
man vote just as he feels likedoing>
but let us all remember that for the
last 40 years we have been lopping ott
whiskey a piece at the time, but it was
Governor Harris who called the legisla
ture in extra session and chopped off
the dog’s tail as short as we wanted it
at one fell stroke and nave us absolute
prohibition in this great state.
And in view of all these facts would
t not be ingratitude if we should turn
him down at the polls? Sol want to
remember this old war horse who
climbed the heights of Gettysburg,
pressed (he sands of the Wilderness
and went up against the rock of Chick
ainauga.

What Jim Price Has Done
For The Farmers Of Georgia
Commissioner of Agriculture J. D.
Price submits his candidacy to the
voters of Georgia, upon hie record of
service in making the department an
institution of positive value and help
fulness to the farmers of this state.
Commissioner Price has not only
given his time and earnest attention
to the well recognized duties devolv
ing upon the department, but he has
done other things for the benefit of
Georgia farmers and at a saving to the
state, not attempted by his predeces
sors.
He introduced the plan at furnish
ing to Georgia farmers nitrogen bac
teria for their leguminous arops at
25 cents per -acre, or actual cost,
where priYaJe concerns were eharging
$2 or more for the same grednct.
He has had taken for analysis more
“home" samples of fertilizers, direct
from the barn of the consumer, than
any ether commissioner, thereby as
suring protection to the individual.
■e has had taken and analysed
more samples of fertilisers at a less
cost to the state than his predecesser.
The actual office records shew that
the ooct per sample under bia prede
oesser was ?2.88, and in Ms first
terns immediately fallowing It wan only
12.40, an actual saving to the state of
48 ceats on each enable.
Adheres Strictly Te The Lass
He has rigidly enfereed tke pure
food and pure teed laws at all
times to tke advantage of the farm
ers aad the consanaers at Georgia.
He has gone further than aay other
commissioner ever attempted in the
effort to provide marketa for food
cropa. The records will clearly show
this.
He has disseminated more and more
accurate crop reports and has eupplied
the farmers of Georgia with all avail
able iaformation of valne to them.
He has kept in personal touch with
the farmers of Georgia insofar as the
duties of the office would permit, has
absolutely adhered to tbs laws of the
state, and yet has showa th# farmers
of Georgia as many of them have nev
er known before, that THERE IS AN
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT IN
GEORGIA.
Recently there appeared la the At
lanta papers an advertisement that
said this:
"Everyone dissatisfied with the
present administration of the
state agricultural department,
please communicate with J. J.
Brown campaign headquarters.”
“It will be seen from this,” said
Commissioner Price, “that my oppon
ent is hard put to it to find anything
against me, since he has had to ad
vertise for complaints in order to find
them. This is anew plan in politics,
J. D. pri<se,
Commissioner Of Agriculture.
but whatever he finds he is certainly
welcome to.
That Travel Expense
“My opponent seeks to make a point
at the fact that the travel expenses otj
the department for tw r o years were
MS, 120.83. 1 have a letter from the
lagielative committee which investi
gated the auditor’s report, showing
that this amount covers all the usual
expenses provided for by law, that it
ie a regular expense under every ad
ministration of the department, and
that it includes the cost of travel, ho
tel bills, purchase of samples for
aaalysis, bottles and express charges,
for 74 employes and attaches of the
department. This is a small average
of $18.09 per month per man.
“In criticising expense accounts he
does not tell you that he made trips
to his home near Elberton at the ex
pense of the state, and also to his
farm at Baxley, which the records i
show, and that he rode in chair cars
at the state’s expense, a thing I never
did in my life, because I always want
to get with the people.
“Referring to the fertilizer and oir
inspectors, my opponent says the de
partment has a 'political machine.’ It
ie the same ’machine' that was here
when he was assistant to Mr. Conner.
I! have never made a single appoint
ment that was not authorized and re
quired by law. But before talking
about political machines, he should
tell the farmer* and people of this
state why Mr. Conner and he carried
blank commissions to Macon, and of
fered them in the effort to trade me
out of the office of commissioner ot
agriculture."
