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.

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.

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." fAKVEKTiSKMXNT)
