OWN SYSTEM
Auto-Intoxication Is Founda¬
tion of Most Diseases and
III Health, Says Noted Au¬
thority.
Advanced medical authorities
assert that auto-intoxication is the
foundation of most of the ills and
diseases to which the human flesh
is heir. “This condition,’’ says
L. T. Cooper, who has made an
exhaustive study of the subject,
“is nothing more or less than
the slow self-poisoning of the vi¬
tal organs, produced by the ex¬
cessive mental and physical
strain we are forced to endure,
which renders the organs lame
and inactive and permits toxins—
actual, poisons—to be generated
within one’s own body.
“Sometimes the trouble starts
in the liver and kidneys, and
sometimes it starts in the stom¬
ach, or elsewhere, but in any
case the blame lies with the faul¬
ty method of living, which has
become so prevalent of recent
years, and it is the more import¬
ant organs that suffer the final
damage 1 As when they falter
or fail in their duties the body
fl| , s up with poisons and the vjc .
tim readily yields to their bane¬
ful influences. Bright s disease,
stomach and intestinal troubles,
catarrhal affections of the mu¬
cous membranes; in fact, may be
called auto-intoxication or self
poisoning.
( “A tired, flange-rous. feelin" of
the body,’’ continued Mr. Cooper,
“or slugish mind gnd dull mem¬
ory, intense nervousness, head¬
aches, stomach and bowel trou¬
bles, poor circulation, imperfect
digestion, constipation and de¬
spondency, are common symptoms
of anto-intoxication. and nine
out of every ten people in the
average city like Atlanta are like¬
ly to be so affected-”
Tanlac, the powerful recon¬
structive tonic’ was designed
especially t o overcome these
troubles, and it is Mr Cooner’s
theory that the Tanlac treatment
is the direct remedy therefor.
There is not a single portion of
the body that is not benefited by
the healthful work of this cele¬
brated preparation, which begins
its action by stimulating the di¬
gestive and similative organs,
thereby enriching the blood and
invigorating the entire system.
Next, it enables the stomach to
thoroughly digest the food, there¬
by permitting the assimilable
products to be converted into
blood, bone and muscle. It over¬

Harris To Probe
Copper Situation
Governor Harris will take up
with Attorney General Clifford
Walker this week,probably Mon¬
day, the question of approving or
declining to approve the notice
drafted by the state’s special at¬
torneys preliminary to moving to
abrogate the present contract
with the Tennessee Copper Co.,
°f Copperhill, Tenn , which con¬
tact expires next October. This
move is taken at the instance of
a number of citizens of north
Georgia who allege that the cop ;
per company is not living within
its contract.
Attorneys J. A. Drake and fca
mar Hill, special counsel for the
state in this litigation,submitted
the draft of the notice to the
governor’s private secretary, F.
R. Jones, last Thursday.and were
informed by Secretary Jones Sat¬
urday that the governor would
likely take the matter up on
Monday with the attorney gen¬
eral. If the new move receives
the approval of the governor the
attorneys will proceed at once to
file notice in the United States
supreme court, looking to future
action to abrogate the contract.
The present Contract provides
that the Tennessee Copper com¬
pany, which is located in Polk
county, Tenn., shall operate dur¬
ing the growing crop season from
April to October of each yeat,
only green ore furnaces necessa
sary to operate itssvlphuric acid I
plant at fnfl normal rjjoa^iri, or.
about two furnaces. The farmers
of north Georgia claim that the
company has not lived up to its
contract, but, on the contrary.is
operating as many as seven fur¬
naces at times, and it is with
such complaints as a basis that
the state seeks to move.
The fanners of North Georgia
claim also that instead of using
just the product of the immediate
mines, the company is importing
sulphur to keep more than just
the two green ore furnaces going,
and that in addition to killing
crops, the fumes from sulphur
have resulted in the death of men
and mules. It is claimed that
conditions in the mines are such
that the company constantly im¬
ports new employees by the train
load, while the former employees,
finding that they cannot work
under the conditions in the mines
are coming down to Ellijay, 30
miles away, on foot and any oth¬
er way they can get there, seek¬
ing food and shelter
The people of Gilmer and Fan¬
nin counties are insisting that
steps be taken by the stale to
remedy the conditions caused by
the mines, and are asking that
notice 'abroVate'the'contract be given that the unde'r state
| W ; U
which these conditions are being
| made possible. Governor Harris
has been presented with petitions
; from the farmers of these coun
ties asking that the contract be
abrogated
In addition to this ,the farmers
! of these counties, it is said. ha\ e
repeatedly petitioned the gov
J'ernorfor president the removal of the Farmers’ of J. J.
um° n of Georgia, as umpire on
the board of arbitrators to settle
questions of damage with the
copper company
; Mr. Brown holds the double
i position of umpire on the board
of arbitration to settle disputed
: claims between the citizens of
Georgia and the copper company,
and at the same time as inspect-
or. drawing a salary of $125 per
inontiv-.rom the copper compan v.
William H. Shippen.of Ellijay,
claims that Governor Harris
stated to a delegation of Gilmer,
and Fannin county citizens that
one man ought not to hold both
positions, and that if the attor¬
ney general would inform him
that he had a right to appoint
another man as arbitrator, he
would do so
The board of arbitrators was
created-^>'r the purpose of settling
the amount of damages for which
farmers made claim against the
copper company. The arbitrators
are appointed for terms of one
year each, from January 1 to De¬
cember 3I. The board of 1915
consisted of E. S. Griffith, arbi¬
trator for the slate; A. J. Me.
Donald, arbitrator for the copper
company andj. J. Brown, um¬
pire. The terms of this board
expired December 31, 1915. It
was even-before this that, it is
said, the petitions for the remov¬
al of Mr. Brown began to come
to the governor. The governor
sought a^opinion from the at¬
torney general its to whether he
could re r-ppoint the board, and
the attorney general ruled that
the appointive power was vested
in the governor
Governor Harris has not yet
re-appointed the board, biit has
ordered the personnel of the old
board to hold over until he makes
his appointment. He stated Sat¬
urday that he does not know
when he will make the appoint
ments

not'only with Mr. Brown but
with the governor’s delay in the
matter
The objectors to Mr Brown al¬
so claim that while Mr. Brown's
reports would show that the cop
per company is living up to its
contract, the report o f State
Chemist R. E. Stallings shows
for a period of 76 days, during
the present contract, the copper
company turned loose upon the
farmers of the adjacent territory
338 tons of sulphnr dioxide per
day, which the farmers hold ex¬
cessive and highly damaging to
their crops
Some of the petitions alleged to
have beeu sent to the governor
asking the removal of Mr Brown,
copies of which are extant, are as
follows;
July 17, 1915, citizens ot Gilmer coun¬
ty directed to the governor a petition
asking the removal of Mr. Brown and
the appointment of a man who will not
handle the claims of the farmers “in
the present high-handed and arbitrary
manner. ’’
February 12, 1916, the Gilmer county
Farmers’ union, in convention, adopted
resolutions directed to the governor,
stating that Mr. Brown is “biased in
his views” and “unsatifactory to the
people, being unable Co see the plainest
damage, though occuring in large meas¬
ure,’’ and asking that Mr. Brown “be
requested to resign his position.”
A similar resolution is alleged to have,
been adopted at the same time by the
Fannin County Farmers’ union.
Following 1 hese actions a circular pe¬
tition is alleged to have been sent to
the governor signed by approximately
500 farmers, asking the removal of Mr.
Brown.
March 20, 1916, Herbert Clay, solici¬
tor general of the Blue Ridge circuit,
wrote tq governor Harris, recommend¬
ing that others be appointed in the
stead of Mr. Brown and Mr. Griffin.
March 20, 1916, a delegation from
Gilmer and Fannin counties, headed by
William H. Shippen. of Ellijay, called
upon the governor and protested
against the reappointment of Mr.
Brown. This is when Mr. Shippen
claims the governor stated that one
man ought not to occupy two positions.
j May 16, 1016, Mr. Shippen, who
headed the delegation of March 20,
directed a letter to Governor Har¬
ris, stating that he had seen in

newspaper accounts that the gov
einor was considering holding Mr
Brown in office on the board, and
that he would likely roniove Mr.
Griffith. The letter continues:
“Surely, there must be some mistake,
for I cannot believe that you would re¬
pudiate entirely your promise to your
delegation and at the same timejgnore
completely the adivee of our attorney
general and thus further embarrass the
state of Georgia in ‘the most important
piece of litigation in which the state has
been engaged siuce my incumbency of
this office,’ using the eloquent language
of our eminent and distinguished Judge
John C. Hart, our former attorney gen¬
eral, in his written report to the legis¬
lature on the subject. Our fight was
never directed against Mr. Griffith, but
at Mr. J. J. Brown on his record as
disclosed by the tiles in your offle.-. In
the face of these records, for you to re¬
move Mr. Griffith and at lhe same time
reappoint Mr. Brown to further continue
the present farce of an arbitration
would be to play directly into the hands ;
of the state’s enemies, and will do more
to hurt the slate’s case ana embarrass
the efforts of the attorney general be
fore the Unued States supreme court j
than any one t ing.
“Should you appoint Mr. Brown, you
might just as well appoint Mr. John D.
Little, the paid lobbyist and attorney
for the Tennessee Copper company, in
Mr. Griffith's place, as far all rhe con¬
sideration or justice the cause of the
citizens of Georgia could hope for at
their hands. Allow me to suggest that
the state of Georgia has so lar win
every move she has thus far made in
the Uuited States supreme caurt, be¬
cause her cause was anxious and just,
and her attorneys genei al and counsel
fearless and able, and, too, they have
ever had an allert client in their state,
