WEDNESDAY. JULY 29 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.

"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 > Births, 62 Deaths Reported. j Augusta’s population was decreas ed by twelve during the past month, according to reports submitted at the | regular monthly meeting of the city I board of health held at its offices I'last night, although during the month, | there were fifty births among the i whites and colored.

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.

She was rather a nervous old lady, and, tearful of being robbed of her purse, kept ft in a pocket of her un derskirt. Taking a cab, she, at the end of the journey, began searching, as ladles do, for the carefully con cealed pocket. The cabby, miscon struing her movements, looked on grimly. . „ . “Well, mem,’’ he broke In, when you’ve done a- scratching, me fare s eighteen-pence.” 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.
