GERMANS Pi TERRIBLE
PENALTY; LIEGE DARING
American Vice Consul, An Eye-Witness, Says Belgians Actual
ly Permitted Enemy to Pass Forts Before Firing—View
Military Tactics, Night Fighting
London.—The German army Investigating Liege under-estimated the fight
nig qualities of the Belgians and paid a terrible penalty for their daring, In
the opinion of Victor H. Duran. American vice consul at Liege as quoted by the
Brussels correspondent to the Times.
The correspondent says Mr Dura* was an eye witness of the fierce two
days of the siege which he describes The Belgians permitted the forces of
Gen. Von Emniieh to actually pass the forts in their march on the town and
then attacked them In the rear of tha forts and on thelV front with infantry.
He estimated the German casualties as from five to ten times as great as
those of the defenders.
"Speaking as a neutral," says Mr. Dura*, according to The Times corre
spondent, It seems to be a part of the new military tactics of the Germans to
fight as much as possible In tbe night time. Comparatively little fighting oc
curred at Liege during the day.
"The amount of suffering on both side* owing tt> Inability to deal prompt
ly with the wounded was very great but especially true of the Germans."
Breakdown
* Wy v*r*
Caused
by Coffee
‘T am satisfied,” says a prominent physician, that
coffee is responsible in a great degree for the prema
ture breakdown of our active men and women.
“They suffer from caffeine poisoning.
“Of the truth of this, there is not the shadow of a
doubt. Our common sense tells us that the daily swal
lowing of caffeine” (the alkaloid in tea and coffee),
“powerfully affecting heart and brain—is followed by
nervous depression, and finally by more or less disas
trous results.
“1 believe if people in general would use a harm
less, nutritious drink like Postum as a beverage in
place of tea and coffee, their physical and mental con
dition would be much improved.”
Thousands, troubled with nervousness, biliousness,
sleeplessness, headache and heart flutter, have done
precisely what this physician advises—given up tea and
coffee and adopted—
POSTUM
with happy results.
“ There’s a Reason ”
Postum is a pure food-drink, made from wheat
and a bit of molasses, containing the nutrition of the
grain. No caffeine—no drugs —no harmful ingredi
ents in Postum. A delicious, nourishing beverage.
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Po®tum —must be boiled. 15 and 25c
packages.
Instant Postum —soluble—made in the cup. in
stantly, 30c and 50c tins.
Groecrs everywhere sell both kinds and the cost
per cup is about the same.
“There’s a Reason” for Postum
before sailing from that port made their
wll:.s efr the public "unr/repared for

"Seeing the imposibility of escape from

"But. 'lonely pursued, they had no

ANSWERED
Through his co-conspirator—N. A. Morris —Thomas W.
Hardwick has again violated all decencies in his charge of
perjury as to the personal tax returns of Governor and Mrs.
Slaton.
Responsibility for this dastardly eleventh-hour attack
rests directly upon Mr. Hardwick.
Before they were so desperately driven, he knew
of its insidious and surreptitious dissemination. He stood for
it when this Morris (formerly for Felder, now for Hardwick)
introduced him at Alpharetta. He countenanced its pro
nouncement from the same platform at Cumming. He failed
to repudiate it when the opportunity came at his Auditorium
meeting in Atlanta. But now at last in his one-page paid-for
advertisement he is making a blundering effort to disavow.
He sees the storm coming and wants to hide. He is trying
the cuttle-fish act of disappearing.
It is not necessary to use adjectives or epithets. The
whole vocabulary of synonyms for the short and ugly word
could be exhausted and then not be sufficiently forcible.
Georgia manhood has not only rebelled at this Hardwick-
Morris effort to besmirch the name of the first lady of the
State of Georgia, but is preparing to rise up and swat the "shoo
fly” with crushing force.
As to the flagrancy of this Hardwick-Morris effort, wit
ness the following correspondence:
THE QUESTION
Atlanta, Ga„ Aug. 13, 1914.
A. P. Stewart,
Tax Collector, Fulton County, Atlanta, Ga.
My Dear Sir:
In The Atlanta Journal of August 12, I notice
an advertisement headed as follows:
"Morris relterattes his chafge the Slatons paid
no personal taxes in 1913.”
Will you kindly let me know whether Mrs.
Slaton paid any personal taxes in 1913?
Thanking you for this information, I am
Very truly yours,
(Signed) ALFRED C. NEWELL.
THE ANSWER.
Atlanta, Ga„ Aug. 13, 1914.
Mr. Alfred C. Newell,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
The amount of tax paid the State and County
by Mrs. John M. Slaton for the year 1913 on
personal property was $154.24 on an assessment
of $11,425,000.
Very truly,
(Signed) A. P. STEWART, T. C.
In this second installment of the Hardwick-Morris fabrication, it is
to be noted that they switch from the returns of 1913 to 1914, If it were
necessary to go into details in this latest campaign concoction it might
be pointed out that the horse referred to is a one-eyed pensioner kept
alive for sentimental reasons, in that he was a pet of Major W. F. Slaton,
the Governor’s revered father, a distinguished Confederate cavalryman;
that the automobiles were “given in” at a fair valuation is proven by the
fact that they would be well sold if the Governor could get $2,000 for
them; that tiie carriage referred to is a hang-over of other days; that the
mule is almost a centenarian.
However, the flv-specks of this Hardwick-Morris combination are
blotted out by their malevolent move to attempt to open up the private af
fairs of the wife of the Governor and her mother, the beloved Mrs. W. D.
Grant.
Such lack of the instincts of Southern manhood, no matter how acute
the political conditions, should and will overwhelm Mr. Hardwick.
These facts stand: The Slatons DO pay personal taxes.
The total taxes of Mrs. Slaton this vear will amount to approximate
ly $6,000.
It is no disgrace to pay simply a poll tax, but Mr. Hardwick, in spite
of his SBO,OOO aggregate salaries from the national treasury, in spite of
his staggering campaign fund, will pay this year into the State of Georgia
only $1 as taxes.
His $lO professional fee is for license and is not a tax on property.
Therefore, because he is not a freeholder, Mr, Hardwick would not be
able to qualify in Georgia as an election manager next Wednesday—al
though he is a candidate for the United States Senate.
It cannot possibly be true that Mr. Hardw ick had no money—not a
dollar, and no personal property of any kind. Yet his tax return so as
serts, in legal effect.
The tax retur nos the Slatons is true in fact. If there has been any
tax dodging, it is in Mr. Hardwick’s return —NOT that of the Slatons.
As to the allegation in Mr. Hardwick’s latest card, connecting the
name of the writer with Tammany—this is equally untrue. The writer is
Georgia-born and bred, a University of Georgia man, and for some years
was engaged in New York City as a political writer. He had no connec
tion with Tammany. For the last ten years he has resided in Atlanta, en
gaged in business entirely outside of the press or politics.
Georgia voters from Catoosa to Camden are prepared to repudiate
such perfidious politics on the part of Mr. Hardwick.
Southern women must nPt be brought in to prop
up the tottering campaign of any candidate.
