HARDWICK IS
OUT 111 REPLY
Congressman Makes Vigorous
Answer to Latest Card of the
Governor in Senate Race.
CanVress Thomas W. Hardwick has
given out the following vigorous reply to
the card issued last week by Governor
John M. Slaton:
“Mr Slaton’s cards grow longer but
not stronger. He first ran away from
the real, short-arm debate that his con
duct and his cards invited. He now runs
away from the merits of the only real
issue that he sought to raise and abso
lutely fails and refuses to let the people
of Georgia know where he stands on the
question that he raised himself. My po
sition on that question is perfectly plain.
In the beginning, and as a first step, 1
favored the rural routes parcels post. I
agreed to the compromise represented by
the present law, with its weight limit of
twenty pounds, upon all packages that
travel over one hundred and fifty miles,
and with the postage determined both
by the weight of the express companies
is a bare-faced travels. If sent to the
senate, I do not propose a repeal or
change of this law, but 1 am unalterably
opposed to the extension of the system,
and any statement or insinuation from
Mr. Slaton, or any one else, that one of
these reasons is any interest, real amt
fancied, of the express companies is a
uare-faced. and I believe, intentional
misrepresentation.
“Mr. Slaton's Position."
"Now, what is Mr. Slaton’s position? I
cannot tell from the cards. If he knows
himself he seems unable or unwilling to
tell the*, people. This is a live issue in
congress now and is destined to be one
in the stenate when Georgia's new sena
tor takes his seat. Let Mr. Slaton for
once in liis life quit dodging and side
stepping and let the public known exact
ly where he stands, how far, to what ex
tent, and in what manner he would
change the existing law. What limit of
weight he would put upon the parcels
and what system of charges he would
have. Let him answer, fairly and
squarely, the seven questions, most or
them on this subject, with which I con
cluded my last Sunday’s card, and then
the public can determine precisely what
issue there is between us in this mat
ter.
“Mr. Slaton's earnest desire to destroy
the money octopus, root and branch, is
most touching and doubtless fully as sin
cere as touching. Since he has become
so ardent In his chase of that great oc
topus, it will doubtless console him to
learn that among the objections I had to
the currency bill, as it passed the house,
was my fear that it provided for too
great a consolidation of the banking in
terests of the country and was, in real
ity, too near a central bank. Therefore,
Mr. Slaton, now so ardent in his chase
of the money octopus, ought to applaud
me rather than criticise me for my
course. But I am afraid I simply can
not please him.
“In the name of President Wilson, I
am sure that 1 ought to thank Mr. Sla
ton, and I do. for his valient efforts to
carry the state Democratic convention at
Macon for President Wilson, and for the
Spartan fortitude with which he left a
sick bed to carry Georgia for him —the
night before the election. Against these
great and real services, 1 hesitate to
place my poor efforts in the doubtful
states, clay after day, and week after
week, for President Wilson and the
party.
“Mr. Slaton does not seem to have a
high opinion of the work of the sugar
committee. Again I am sorry that I
seem unable to please him. The evidence
were the basis for free sugar, and we
never l free sugar until that evidence
was taffen and that report made.
“He seems concerned about the print
ing at the government printing office,
at the expense of a witness, the testi
mony of that witness before the ways
and means coinittee of the house of
representatives. I am sorry that he
seems unable to comprehend that this
did not cost the people of the United
States, or the government, one penny.
It also seems to him little short of a
crime that any proponent of free sugar
.should have had printed and distributed
any speech of mine in congress for fre>*
sugar, in that respect, he seems to have
precisely the view of the sugar trust and
most of the other tariff beneficiaries,
who act as if they alone ought to have
the right to print and circulate argu
ments for the retention of a tax, and it
is little short of a crime for an argu
ment for the removal of a tax to be
printed and circulated.
“Mr. Slaton s cards abound in cheap
insinuations and mysterious inuendoes
that improper relations of some sort, fi
nancial or otherwise, have existed or do
exist between the express companies, or
sofne mysterious ‘trust’ and myself. 1
am tired of it. I brand it here and now
as an absolute and unqualified falsehood,
to use no harsher term. No man can
safely take, by insinuation or otherwise,
liberties with my good name.
"Mr. Slaton seems greatly disturbed
over my absence from Washington and
my presence in Georgia. Again I am
sorry I cannot please him. Again let
me assure him that I shall neglect no
duty in Washington while 1 am engaged
In the task of beating him in Georgia.
Possibly he may. not know the present
situation in tlie house, as he seems to be
so poorly informed about so many things.
That he may understand it, let me com
mend to him a somewhat recent tele
gram from Mr. Underwood:
Washington. D. C., July 17, 1914.
‘Thomas \V. Hardwick, Care Kimball
House, Atlanta, Ga.
“ ‘No necessity for your immediate re
turn. Will notify you if it is necessary
to come.
(Signed) ‘O. W. UNDE-RWOOD.’ ”
“No such notice has come to me yet
If it does, 1 shall return to Washing
ton. I will be there whenever any duty
requires my presence there. Until then
I am going to keep up this fight in Geor
gia.
“Let me inquire again, how Governor
fclaton, martyr to duty as he is, another
‘boy who stood on the burning deck
whence all but him had fled,’ manages to
leave the aforesaid burning deck with
such rapidly increasing frequency, with
the legislature still In session, to make
speeches alone, while he is still unable
to find the time to meet his opponent
whose record he has misrepresented, in
Joint discussion?
"Mr. Slaton is mistaken about another
thing. I have neither referred in un
pleasant or unkind terms, or In any way
to his family, or his family matters i
have only mentioned the well-known
and generally conceded fact that but lor
the large wealth that he possesses, or
controls, there would be nothing what
ever t;> him or his campaign. That
wit host *‘»thut money he could not plac
ard this state # from end to end with
frantic appeals to ‘Send Slaton to the
Senate,’ advertising himself somewhat
along the lines that Simmons’ Liver
Regulator and Carter's little liver oi ls
a ro advertised.
“I am sorry that In his abundance, the
rich man cast covetous eyes on the one
ewe iamb of the poor man. I regret that
Mr. Slaton does not want me to on
unue to draw mv annual salary as a
member of congress, that is paid wheth
er congress is in session or not, and is
not a per diem allowance. Htlll, I think
L. continue to draw It, In spite of
ms objections

"LITTLE BIG”
DITCH OPENED
The Formal Opening of the
$12,000,000 Cape Cod Canal
Attracts Thousands of Visi
tors Today.
New Bedford, Mass —The Cape Cod
| Canal, which cost $12,000,000. took
| live years to dig, and is expected to
draw 25,000,000 tons of traffic a year,
was opened today with a water pa
rade and speech-making.
It unites Buzzard's Bay and Barn-
I stable Bay by a waterway of a mini
-1 mum depth of 25 feet and minimum
j width of 100 feet at the bottom.
The canal’s width and depth are
| greater than those of the'first Suez
! Canal and the tonnage through wihich
it will probably be for many years
I more than twice that of the Panama
| Caul.
Thousands Present.
Thousands of persons came to the
i canal today 1n motor cars and va
roius water craft. An official fleet,
led by a boat of officers of the Cape
Cod onstructoin Company, with ft
long following of tooting and crowd
ed small vessels, left here this moin
- ing, proceeded through Buzzard’s
J Bay and the canal to the eastern end
] and then returned to the western ap
; i orach where there were formal ex
i ercises on shore-
While speeches were being made
here. Capa Cod folk at the other end
were holding a pageant.
There were many state and na
tional dignitaries present and. con
gratulations were in order for Wil
liam Barclay Parsons, engineer of
the canal; Frank A. Furst, head of
the contracting company and August
Belmont, financial backer.
The canal is thirteen miles long,
between thirty foot depths in the two
hays it connects and eight miles long
from shore to shore. It was com
menced June 22, 1909, and unofficial
ly opened July 4, 1914 last.
Five Proir Attempts.
Since the time of Miles Standish
Massachusetts has been hoping for a
I canal across Cape od. Tn colonial
days, engineers explained the ground
many times and George Washington
J ordered a report on the cost. There
were five attempts to open a canal
before this one.
Twenty-five thousand vessels round
I Cape Cod every year and 1,131 vessels
have been wrecked on Pollock's Rip,
j where there are 1,082 hours of fog
I annually. Vessels of more than
1,000 tons gross pay 10 cents a ton
Tor the use of the canal, but save a
great deal in lessened insurances.
■ It is figured that barges and* sc.hoon
• ers also will save an average of four
days of a round trip through the
| canal between Boston and the South
a scompared with the hazardous old
| route.
REGULAR MEETING OF
THE BOARD OF HEALTH
Held Last Night and Only Rou
tine Matters Discussed. 50

j Augusta’s population was decreas
ed by twelve during the past month,

i whites and colored.
The deaths were White, 24; color
ed, 38 Births: White, 31; colored,

Dangers of Cholera Morbus.
In almost every neighborhood some
one has died from an attack of chole
ra morbus Defore medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned.
Every family should be prepared for
such an emergency. Mrs. E. M. Sny
der, Herkimer, N. Y., says ‘‘About
four years ago my husband had an at
tack of cholera morbus. I gave him
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and it relieved the
pain immediately, and two or three
doses of it effected a cure.” For sale

May Help You if
Lungs Are Affected
Proper diet, fresh air and temperate
habits are beneficial to persons suffer
ing: from Lung Trouble; but in a great
many instances reports show that the
addition of a medicine for this affec
tion has materially helped in bringing
about recovery. For more than fifteen
years Bckman’s Alterative, a medicine
for Throat and Lung Troubles, has ac
complished good results. Read what it
did in this case:—
Madison Mich.
“‘Gentlemen: In December. 190 S.
March, 1909, and September. 1909. I was
taken with hemorrhages of the lungs
which confined me several weeks, each
time to my bed. My doctor advised me
to go West. In November I started for
Denver. 001. After my arrival I met
Michael Brody, who. upon learning of
my condition, urged me to take Eck
man’s Alterative. 1 kept on taking tho
medicine and improved fast. In March.
1910, I returned home. I am entirely
well, have a good appetite and sleep
well. When I left Denver my weight
was 130 pounds. 1 now* weigh 165, my
normal weight. I thank God and your
Alterative for my health."

She was rather a nervous old lady,
and, tearful of being robbed of her
purse, kept ft in a pocket of her un

cealed pocket. The cabby, miscon
struing her movements, looked on
grimly. . „ .

OPTICIAN RECOVERS
BRIGHTS DISEASE
Hearing that H. W. Smith the optl
cian of Mason City, lowa, had recovered
from Bright’s Disease we wrote him and
take the following items from his reply:
“Specialists pronounced my case
Bright's Disease and incurable and ad
vised me to go south to prolong my life.
Went to Mineral Wells. Texas. Became
terriblv bloated. Physicians there made
tests and found casts and almost solid
albumen. Several at the Wells who had
been cured by Fulton’s Renal Compound
persuaded me to take It. Dropsy drop
ped forty-five pounds in fourteen days.
In three months I was back to business.
* * * I continued the treatment over
two years, and during the last four years
have not found it necessary to use any
medicine. 1 have received many letters,
all of which 1 have answered. Through
my correspondence I have learned of a
number of recoveries."
The ability of Fulton’s Renal Com
pound to oppose Renal degeneration
and reduce albumen in many cases
of Bright’s Disease is not a matter of
opinion but a FACT IN PHYSICS, and
we will mail formula for albumen test
that will show the percentage from week
to veek. As the albumen declines im
