The minister was closing a

‘The Security Twist Company of

It is said three of the stingiest
men in the state were in town
yesterday. One of them will not
drink as much water as he wants
unless it is from another man’s
well. The second forbids any of
his family from writing anything
but a “small hand” as it, is a
waste of ink to make large letters.
The third stops his clock at night
in order to save wear and tear of
the machinery. All of them de¬
clined to take this paper on the
ground that it is a terrible strain
on their spectacles to read news¬
papers, even in the day time.—

And wherewithal shall we be
fed? Sugar has gone to 11 pounds
to the dollar, lard “out ’0 sight,”
meat over the moon again, flour
above par, and coffee so high
that it can’t settle on its own
grounds. Other things have ad
vanced tremendously. And then,
so many articles are of poor qual¬
ity: Aspirin is adulterated, ink
so sorry it won’t write, and many
drugs are not obtainable at all.
The Germans haven’t got all
these things hidden away-there’s

His Daily Practice
Surprising Results.
One of the strongest and
convincing evidences of the
markable results being
plished by tanlac throughout
south is the large number of let¬
ters that are now being
daily from scores of well-known
men and women who have been
benefited by its use.
Among the large number that
have been received in the past
few days, none are more inter¬
esting than the following letter
from Dr. J. T. Edwards, of Fay¬
etteville, Ga. Dr. Edwards, it
will be remembered, recently
gave Tanlac his unqualified in¬
dorsement in a public statement,
and the testimonial published be¬
low was recently given him by
one of his patients His letter
follows just as it was written:

Dear Sir: I am enclosing you
herewith statement I have just
received from Mr. T.M.McGough.
He has sold out here and is mov¬
ing to Turin, Ga. He was here
this morning, and come to tell
me what Tanlac had done for
him. He says too much cannot he
said about Tanlac. It certainly
has cured him.

“I suffered from indigestion
and could not eat anything but
what would hurt me. Constipa¬

trouble also. My symptoms were
indigestion, heartburn and gas

appetite was irregular and my
food failed to nourish me • This
trouble caused me to get very
poor—in fact, I got so thin and
weak I was hardly able to go
about.

lac on Dr. Edwards’ recommen¬
dation, and I am now feeling &U

that will help them.”

Comes Out With Pointed
Questions
Ellijay, Ga., June 24, 1916
Hon. Nat E. Harris, Governor, Atlanta, Ga.,
DEAR SIR:
We are informed that, upon your recent visit to the Tennes¬
see Copper Company, yon publicly stated that you and Mrs. Har¬
ris were both born in Tennessee, and that you intended to protect
the Tennessee Copper company.
Upon your return to Georgia, you made the statement in the
press that grievous injury had been inflicted upon the property of
citizens in north Georgia by the Tennessee Copper company, and
that you intended to protect these citizens.
Who is it that you intend to protect—
i. The state of birth
your or,
The state of your adoption? >
’ '
Are you going to sign the notice, prepared by state's special
counsel, J . A. Drake and Lamar Hill, and approved by Attorney
Genera! Clifford Walker, that will end the present farce of a con¬
tract between the state and the Tennessee Copper company? |F
NOT, WHY NOT?
J. J. Brown, final umpire of the arbitration board (which
board is composed of an employee of the Tennessee Copper com¬
pany, and necessarily a copper partisan; and the other member ap¬
pointed by the state from without the affected territory, and whol
*y disinterested, therefore all of said Brown’s decisions are final and
absolute,) recently denounced as untrue, the statement that he was
receiving a salary from the Tennessee Copper company.
When he made this statement, he knew it was false, and you
know it was false; for the proof of its falsity lies in the files of your
office.
This said Brown has been notoriously prejudiced against th e
farmers for the records in your office show that of some 1,050 cases
he was called on to arbitrate, where the state’s arbitrator voted to
pay, he turned down 833 of them without a cent, and reduced al¬
most all of the other awards.
You have been a prominent attorney for many years, and
more or less familiar with the administration of justice.
When did it become legal for one of the parties to a cause to
have in his employ either the judge, a juror or the umpire?
Is it satisfactory to you, representing the state of Georgia,
to have its umpire in the pay of the state’s antagonist—The Ten¬
nessee Copper company?
When do you propose to correct this monstrous injustice?
How do you propose to correct it?
Do you really think you can with impunity, decline to cor¬
rect it?
Yours very truly,
GILMER COUNTY FARMERS’ UNION.
