R- Conner F*HCje 114 HEKRY STODGHILL, COL., GIVES HIS RACE GOOD ADVICE Mr. Editor: Since it is nearly time to sow oats I will give Mr. Billy Mallet’s plan. In the latter Dart of November, 1898, I said to him, Mr. Mallet, how aboutplant ing oats on bottom land now. He sat at his desk; he sat up erect and said: “Stodghill, it’s rather late, but if your bottom is dry bottom go ahead, but if they are a kind of wet bottom, let them alone.” So, I find a good recipe for this new law. If you talk with a man and he is a dry man, go ahead, but if he is a wet man, let him alone. Mr. Editor, as for the colored people, they are not complexed as to the restrictions of law. Many of them have as kindly a feeling toward Judge Searcy as if he was our pastor. Judge Searcy is a fighting craft set up over Butts county to enforce the law. And when he finds a blind tiger man we want him to sit on him with all his weight of law, with the pressure like a night mare. Mr. Editor, old Villa or Antag onism don’t need to hide in Butts county. I want my color to know it. The morning Butts county said Mr. Crawford was sheriff that made every home in this county, politically, a Crawford home, and every colored man and white man needs to run to his res cue m enforcing the law.

CHIEF OF POLICE OUT WITH FACTS Popular Official Was Con fined to Bed Three Months. Now Hale and Hearty Since Taking Tanlac. If there is a man in Macon who is universally known and liked, that man is Geo. Samuel Riley, the popular and efficient Chief of Police of that citv. Chief Riley has been prominently identified with Macon’s public affairs for a number of years, and is highly esteemed and respected for his high character and integrity by all who know him. In an inter esting interview with Dr. W. B. Logan at the Taylor Bayne Drug Company Thursday morning. Chief Riley said: ‘‘l came to Macon when 1 was only a 16-year-old boy from Hous ton county, and have been living here for 38 years. I have al ways enjoyed very good health, and have been what you would consider a strong, healthy man. Last June I was taken very sick, and was confined to my bed for three months with a trouble that developed into pleurisy with se rious complications, and I had to undergo several operations. For a while I was entirely helpless. ‘‘After getting out my right side continued to pain me. My breath would get short, and I had terrible pains and swellings in my legs and feet and catching pains in my hips and the small of my back. This trouble made me very nervous and I lost sleep. To tell you the truth, I was in mighty bad shape, and nothing in the way of medicine seemed to do me much good. ‘‘My kidneys bothered me a great deal and my whole system seemed to be filled with Uric Acid poison. For a while I had little control over my kidneys and this bothered me a great deal. Like everybody else. I got to reading about Tanlac and decided to give it a trial. I can under stand now why everybody is praising this medicine, for it helped me right from the start. The pains in my side have left me entirely and I now have con trol over my kidneys. The swell ings have all gone down and I feel .like anew man in every way. ‘‘Yes, sir, this Tanlac just fill ed me with new life and energy and I feel more like myself than in months. Every one has noti ced the wonderful improvement in my condition, and I am only too glad to say a good word for Tanlac. I had taken medicines ever since I was taken sick and nothing seemed to help me, but two bottles of Tanlac have put me on mv feet and I feel like my self again.” Tanlac is sold bv Slaton Drug Cos., in Jackson, and Dr. A. F. White in Flovilla. Moore & Cos., at Cork. J. E. & W. R. Kitchens, Fincherville, Ga. (adv) Every indication points to Gov ernor Harris as a winner in Butts county and throughout the state.
