WATSON OUT OF PARTY.
Thomas E. Watson, the auburn-’
haired statesman from the county of
McDuffie, state of Georgia, spoke him
self out of the Democratic party Sat
urday in his address. Previous to this
occasion he had already written him
self out of this organization. But, to
be sure, he has never been in the
party.
It was back in the days of 1906,
when Hoke Smith, now the senior sen
ator from Georgia, made his famous
race for governor, and was elected by
an overwhelming majority, that Tom
Watson first warbled anew after a
period o f retirement. But bids for his
support came, and in a grand an
nouncement Watson stated that he had
come back to his own—but it seems
as if “his own received him not.”
The same candidate then, and the
same senator now, was the subject for
the famous statement ‘‘some day this
proud old state will send you to the
senate.” The general assembly of
Georgia did send him there —which
Mas not by a vote of the people, but
the latest antics of Waison bring back
to mind these events of those days
when he was quite a person to ba
loved by.
And as for preparing to shed blood,
as prophesied by Watson in his speech
Saturday, there won’t be much blood
shed if the United States government
gets a chance at him —possibly in Geor
gia, and anyway outside of Georgia.
W.e wonder how the Georgia delega
tion in congress will view his address
ol Saturday. These congressmen have
insisted that it would be a ‘‘reflection
on Georgia” to have Watson tried else
where than in this state. It seems that
the Democratic administration, in fact,
most any kind of government, is not i
1 is very best friend.
John M. Barnes, a member of the
Republican executive committee in
Georgia, presided at the meeting in
Thomson Saturday. Watson lambast
ed everything from President Wilson
to Leo Frank.
Can it be said that his days are
numbered. His going away will be a
subject for much comment, but Geor
gia politics might be able to heave a
sigh of relief when he shall have pass
ed off the field of combat.
He is out, so he states—when he has
never been in. A few faithful follow
ers will absorb his edicts, but the lasi
act of the last scene is being prepared
where an asbestos curtain will have no
powers to forgive, forget—indistinctly
remember.
*GO TO SUNDAY SCHOL.”
Americus went to Sunday school on
Sunday. It was the official “Go-To-
Sunday School Day” of the year, and
its results were attering.
Thousands of greeting were ex
changed prior to the day with the in
vitation : “Come to Sunday School and
bring along a friend.” The day was
successful, and Americus rejoices with
the state.
But it all goes on to prove how much
can be accomplished when a maority of
jthe good people of a city set their
heads, hearts and hands on a common
purpose. The Sunday schools of the
city were involved in the movement.
But how much good could be ac
complished for Americus, if its entire
I population centered on some movement
• which had the future of the city at
I heart?
If the same amount of energy ex
pended on the Sunday school move
ment in Americus was now used for
securing a factory here—what would
be the results
Americus must hace a get-together—
just like that Sunday school move
ment.

HENRY WMIIER SffS
HE NDiN FEELS LIKE
HIS OLD_SELF ASAHI
Nearly everybody in Nashville is
eiher personally acquained with or
has heard of Henry Warner, the well
known grocer and meat market man,
whose place of business is located at
1012 Fourth avenue, North. Mr. War
ner is not only well and favorably
known in business circles, but enjoys
the distinction of being one of the big
gest men in Nashville as he formerly
v eighed 310 pounds in ,his stocking
feet.
Something over a year ago Mr |War
ner lost his health and went into a
rapid decline, and according to his own
statement, he lost 80 pounds in weight.
In telling the Tanlac representative of
l.is remarkable restoration to health by
the use of Tanlac, Mr. Warner said:
“About a year ago I began suffering
from stomach trouble and nervous in
digestion, and from January until No
vember I couldn't eat anything but a
little toast and soft boiled eggs. At
that time I weighed 310 pounds, and
this trouble pulled me down until I
■only weighed 230. My health was com-*
pletely shattered and I was almost a
nercous and physical wreck. To tell
you the truth, it just began to look
like I was going to die, and that’s the
way I felt about it, too.
I did everything a man could think
■of trying to get relief, but medicines,
or dieting, or anything else didn’t seem
to do me any good, and I just kept go
ing from bad to worse. No matter how
carefully I dieted myself I would al
ways suffer terribly with heartburn
and gas on my stomach after eating. I
would also have palpitation of the
heart and severe headaches. At other
times I would have burning pains in
my stomach. I was also nervous and
testless and couldn't sleep and some
times when I would lay down I would
get so dizzy I would almost go stone
blind.
‘.‘Finally I began taking Turkish
baths and long walks. This seemed to
help me some, but nothing did any
thing more than give me temporary
relief, and I had just about given up
all hope of ever getting well.
“About this time Alee Graves, a
friend of mine, told me Tanlac had
helped him and advised me to try it,
so I got a bottle and commenced tak
ing it. I got relief right from the first
and by the time I had finished my sec
ond bottle I felt so much better I
went back and bought five more bot
tles.
"1 can now eat anything and have
actually gained 30 pounds. I can also
sleep well. In fact, I feel like a new
man and am back at work again feeling
better than I have in years. If I keep
< r. gaining like I have for the past few
week, I will soon be back to my old
weight again. The change in my con
dition has been the ta!*k of this whole
part of town and if I have had to tel!
one person about Tanlac, I guess I
have told a thousand. Everybody
thinks it is nothing short of a miracle
the way I have improved.
“Tanlac has helped my wife a whole
lot, too. She almost had a nervous
breakdown, from nursing me when I
was sick, but Tanlac seemed to put her
right on her feet and has done her a
world of good.”
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
in all principal cities of the South.
Tanlac is soltj exclusively in Ameri
cus by Allen’s Drug & Seed Store; in
Leslie by Leslie Drug Company, anJ
in Plains, Ga., by Plains Pharmacy,
and in Sumter, Ga., by Persons Merc.
