JUDGE HARRIS SAYS
HE IS GRATEFUL
Will Not Forget Campaign
Pledges, and Sends to
A Greeting.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 21. Though
in the midst of sorrow because of
the death of Mrs. J. W. Burke,
mother of his first wife. Judge
Nat E. Harris, paused long
enough today to express his ap
preciation to those who brought
about his election. Pledging him
self to do his utmost to keep
Georgia prosperous and on the
road of progress, he said:
“I am grateful for the splen
did support given me throughout
the commonwealth. If I under
stand it, my election is now as
sured. My friends have work
ed for me against great odds and
the result gives me infinite pleas
ure. It will be my earnest en
deavor to show them that I have
deserved their confidence and I
promise the people not to disap
point their expectations.
“I will not forget my pre-elec
tion pledges. I hope to see all
strife cease in Georgia and the
state go forward with united
ranks in her magnificent march
of progress and prosperity.
“To my old comrades of the six
ties, I can never make known the
depth of my gratitude. The tie
that binds us is closer than
friendship. It was brought in
the furnace of the battlefields,
welded in camp and hospital and
on the long marches and in
cheerless bivouacs. God bless
everv one of them.
“To all the people I extend
greetings and thanks from their
grateful fellow citizen.”
Nat E. Harris.
Another Concrete Victory.
The attention of the world has
been centered for a number of
days upon the several compara
tively small forts that guard
the city of Leige in Belgium.
These forts have withstood at
tacks in which types of the most
powerful field artillery known to
modern gun-making were used,
and as a result the march of a
great army was stayed.
It is an interesting fact that
these fortifications that have sur
prised the war experts of all the
great nations are constructed of
concrete. The gun turret is lo
cated in the extreme center of
the concrete construction, being
capped with a hemisphere of
chome nickle-polished steel. The
construction is calculated to make
a striking shot richochet, al
though it be of the utmost veloc
ity.
The concrete construction of
the fort is readily adaptable to
an arrangement whereby the!
disanpearing guns may be raised
high above the observation tow
ers and still be fortified. — Indus

Edwards’ Campaign.
Representative Edwards must
be given the credit for conduct
ing a brilliant as well as a very
successful campaign. It is the
hardest one he has fought since
he has represented the First dis
trict. He was handicapped by
the pressure for his presence in
Congress. While he did get
away for a time, nevertheless his
presence in Washington was
likely to be demanded at any mo
ment. As a matter of fact he
was at his post of duty much of
the time that the campaign was
in progress.
Os course he had the advan
tage of a congressman holding
the job, but that was offset, to a
large extent, as pointed out, by
his inability to give his whole
time to his campaign. The com
pleteness of his victory doesn’t
give much comfort to those who
have designs on the position he
has held for approximately eight
years. If he makes no serious
mistakes he may make a record
for length of unbroken service.—

Meets Death Under
Son's Monument.
Americus, Ga., Aug. 22. —A
remarkable accident occurring
this morning at La Crosse, a vill
age in Schley county, near Amer
icus, resulted in the instant death
of Judge E. B. Barrow, of the
court of ordinary of Schley, j
Judge Barrow was engaged in
hauling from the railway station
a*: La Crosse a marble monument
to be erected upon the grave of
his son in the family cemetery.
His team became frightened and
ran away upsetting the wagon
! and throwing the heavy monu
ment upon Judge Barrow, killing
him instantly. He was a citizen
a id highly esteemed.
Watch and Think.
The world is full of “object
lessons.” Here is something
that a smart fellow saw and he.
turned it to such account that he
is now one of the great figures!
of his time. He watched and he
thought.
Gravitation, steam, electricity,
sound waves, these are but a few !
of the marvelous forces that
men’s minds have worked out
simply bv Watching and Think
ing.
Even the most ordinary sort of!
a man can improve if he will but
Watch —and Think.
All life is very young. Our
day will look crude to those who
supplant us who supplant us a j
hundred or two hundred years
from now. All the chances are j
not snapped up by any means, j
i Your individual force and origi
nality and genius may be just]
what is needed to add another
piece of wonder to the window
cases of history.
You must Watch and Think
with what you have.
If you seem to be at the very j
! last end of your string—Watch
and Think. The chances are;
that if you Watch long enough,
and Think hard enough you will
have somehow or other discov
ered another piece of string to
tie to the end -that you have
reached and which will tide you
into solid Happiness and Success.
Watch and Think. But don’t
Watch in the wrong place or
Think about the w r rong things.—

By Train to Cuba.
September 30 has been fixed as
the date for the launching at
Philadelphia of the first of a
number of railway car ferry
boats which are being construct
ed for use in a service to be es
tablished between Key West,
Fla., and Havana, Cuba, by the
Florida East Coast Railway.
When the service is established
passengers and freight will be
f carried without change of cars.
Each ferry boat will have a ca
i pacity of thirty railway cars and
i will be seaworthy in any kind of
; weather. At Havana the boats
will connect with Cuban railway
j lines, and thus it will be possible
: for a person to travel, or freight
be shipped from New York to
the interior of Cuba without
change of cars or transfer.
This will not only be a great
service, but also will help to in
crease the progress and upbuild
ing of the great state of Florida.

“The Laughing Stock.”
During the long months of
“watchful waiting” in Mexico,
we were told by critics of the
Wilson administration that Amer
can diplomacy was “the laughing
stock of Europe.”
British, German, French and
Austrian political writers never
tired of explaining how ridiculous
was the attitude of the United
States, and how certain it was to
end in disaster.
Yet our much-derided Ameri
can diplomacy solved the Mexi
can problem without a war, while
one short week of European dip
lomacy has plunged Europe into
the greatest conflict known to
history.—New York World.

And For Three Summers Mrs. Vin
cent Was UnaUe to Attend to
Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.—“l suffered for
three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, ‘‘and the third and
last time, was my worst.
I had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about. Could not do any of my
housework.
I also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1
would have to give up and lie down,
until it wore off.
1 was certainly in a dreadful state of
health, when I finally decided to try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I firmly

taken it.
After I began taking Cardui, I was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re
lieved me entirely.
I fattened up, afcd grew so much
stronger in three months, I felt like an
other person altogether.”
Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic
1 effect, on the womanly constitution.
I
Cardui makes for increased strength, ;
improves the appetite, tones up the ner
vous system, and helps to make pale,

Cardui has helped more than a million
i weak women, during the past 50 years, j
’ It will surely do for you, what it has
, done for them. Try Cardui today. j
