MIS HIS 1 Sil
18W CHULLENUE
ATLANTA, Ga.. Feb. 11. —In order to
correct an apparent misunderstand
ing as to whether he did or did not
challenge Dr. L. G. Hardman to joint
debate in the course of his speech at
Macon last Monday night, Governor
Nat E. Harris has given out a state
men texplaining that portion of the
spa: ch, which has been conflicting!}’
leported in the newspapers.
The governor in his statement says:
“I told the audience that I had been
able to discover two planks in Dr.
I ardman’s platform. First, his asser
tion that I promised not to ask for a
second term if the people elected me
governor; and second, his assertion of
my physical inability to discharge the
duties of the office.
“Regarding the later plank, I asked
the audience to look me over carefully
and say whether I appeared to be too
feeble to serve the people as governor
I told thm I had been absent only
tv ice from the governor's office —once
when 1 had a severe burn on my necK
mid the other time when I wore myself
Ait by staying up all night for five or
six nights to read the bills passed by
the legislature ,in order to act upon
them within the time allowed by law.
‘Then I made the remark which was
inerpreted by some of my hearers as
an invitation to Dr. Hardman to meet
n.c in debate. What I said was, .n
further assertion of my physical fit
ness, that I stood ready to stump the
state on any sort of schedule Dr. Hard
man might undertake; meaning that I
vo.ild travel as far by train, automo
bile, buggy, wagon or otherwise, as
he could travel, and deliver as many
tleeches as he could deliver.
' This was the purport of my lan
guage, and I make this statement in
older that the people will understand
exactly what I said.”

Until Cottolene was offered, people thought and
rightly—that most fried foods were greasy, indigest
ible and unhealthful. But Cottolene was quickly
11 Sy found to be a frying aid which actually made foods
better lasting and better to eat
I . None of the good flavor of the food is allowed to
escape; the cooking process is rightly finished and
digestibility of the food is retained along with
I 1 tempting taste.

'on LECTURES FOR
HOSPITAL HERE 01!
SffIOIIUES. 12
The Americus Hospital association
was, indeed, fortunate to secure rMr.
| Edward Amherst Ott for a lecture here
at the High school auditorium, Satur
day night of this week. The celebrat-j
cd lecturer has chosen for his subject,
"The Spenders.”
Mr. Ott was born in Y’oungstown, O.J
November 27, 1867, but spent the early j
I part of his life in Trumbull county,
Ohio, attending school at Hartford I
Academy. At the age of 22 the boy
went to New York City to study the
speech, arts and methods of great ac
tors and playwrights.
Mr. Ott has taught in several of our ■
most eminent colleges and universi-'
j ties, but has given it up now for the
platform .feeling that he can reach i
more people and accomplish more good |
that way than any other.
This celebrated man has a most ra
diant personality and can hold his ud
ience spellbound with his magnetic
charm. A few of the questions he
will bring out in his lecture, “Spend
ers,” Saturday night, and will answer
most admirably, are:
“What Does the Educated Man Cost i
the Nation?”
“Shall We Spend Our Money to Pun
ish People, or to Reform Them?”
“Is Charity a Success or a Failure ’
“Does It Pay to Advertise a Town?’’
“Who Spends the Most Money, a'
Man or Woman?”
Is Buying a Mania?”
It is a privilege to hear Mr. Ott, so I
seize the opportunity at this time.
The tickets are on sale at Hooks’
Pharmacy at the present time. Adults

Atlanta Is ?
In For Front
For Honors
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 11.—Another
ycung Atlantian, and he makes about
the fifth, has received signal honors
for bravery in battle in the European
var. Fritz Hartmann, a debonair
young German who formerly played
i the piano in a local picture house, and
I occasionally did clay modelling in his
i uncle’s studio on Houston street, has
i been decorated by the King of Saxony. I
| It seems that Fritz dashed at the |
I bead of a column to lead a forlorn
j hope which turned into a brilliant vic
tory, and this his heroic ac so im
i pressed his colonel that the King of
Saxony, who learned of it, personally
pinned a silver badge on the young
IA tiantian’s breast. Fritz is now on a
I furlough. When he performed his
I deed of valor he was a private, but is
! now a corporal.
Farmer, at 87,
Hasn’t Learned
Taste Medicine
DALTON, Ga., Feb. 11.—With anoth
er year added to his life, A, J. Lorman,
I an aged farmer of Beaverdale, is still
ignorant of the taste of medicine of
I any kind. He this week celebrated his
eighty- seventh birthday with his fam
ily.
Mr. Lorman doesn’t know the taste
of delicious castor oil, and a pill has
never tickled his palate. He holds ia
contempt the prescriptions of the best
physicians, and he points to his robust
pnysique to prove a fallacy the belief
that medicine is o necessity.
At all times of the eyar Mr. Lorman
goes thinlj- clad; he refuses to burden
himself with heavy clothes. To this,
I together with his actnive, out-of-doors
lite and his refusal of medicine, he at
tributes his good health.
I The past year Mr. Lorman suffered
from sickness, but he refused to break
his vow never to touch medicine, and
he recovered his health.

Unique Watch
Chain Present
ATLANTA, Ga„ Feb. 11.—Professor
S. P. Orr, a veteran teacher of Athens,
has just received from a shop in New
York, a unique watch chain. It is
plaited from the hair of his mother,
who died thirty years ago, and that of'
a sister. The gray of the mother’s
hair is easily discernible. The hair
of the sister was coal black, but age
had turned it a chestnut brown.
Prof. Orr attached the highly prixed
chain to a watch which has associa- ’
ticns for his family—a watch carried
by an elder brother to the war. Th ! s
brother was killed in the first battle
of Manassas.
