COOPER WILL PROVE
FAMOUS THEORIES
Celebrated Medicine Accom-
plishing Remarkable Re-
suits i'm Leading Cities

Referring to the recent visit to
| Atlanta of l.. T. Cooper, the man who
electrified the larger cities of the
country with his philanthropy. health
theories and celebrated medicine,
Tanlac, G. F. Willis, his Southern
representative, said:
Thousands of the most prominent
people in Atlanta Birmingham, Nash
Vile, Chattanooga, Louisville, Knox
Vile and other cities where his cele-
brated medicine has ben accomplish
ing such remarkable results are even
more enthusiastic than Mr.. Cooper
himself.
"As previously stated, Mr.. Cooper
contends that nine-tenths of the dis
eases and ill-health of the average
person is due to a catarrhal condi-
ton which produces faulty digestion
and improper assimilation of the
food.
''In a recent interview Mr.. Cooper
was asked if Tanlac would relieve
kidney trouble, liver complaint. rheu-
matism and a dozen other ailments,
and in this connection said:
"As l have repeatedly said, my
medicine acts directly on the mucus
membrane, stomach and blood, ex-
polling from them the impurities and
fn than
strong, healthy condition. | am
convinced that the stomach regulates
the condition of the blood, and is the
fountain head of health or disease,
as the case may be. My medicine is
intended primarily for the regulation
of the stomach and catarrhal inflam-
nation, but it is no uncommon thing
for persons who have used it to come
to me and explain that it has reliev-
other ailments not generally recog-
nized as having their origin in stOm-
ach trouble.
"The ingredients or medicinal ele-
ments which make Tanlas come from
many remote sections of the earth
the Alps the Pyrenees. Russia, Asia,
West Indies, Mountain states, near
the Rocky Mountains, Mexico and
Peru are among the points from
which the principal parts of the prep
aration are obtained. In the princi-
pal laboratory of the Cooper Medicine
Co., Inc, under the efficient direction
of Herr Jos Won Trimback, native
German chemist Of note, these medic
inal herbs, roots and banks are as
sembled in the rough and painstak-
ingly developed so as to attain that
high standard of efficiency shown by
the uniform preparation of Tanlac.'
In referring to the unprecedented
demand for Tanlac in Atlanta Mr.
Chas. A. Smith, manager of the ia
| cObs Pharmacy Co., said:
81 have been in the drug business
in Atlanta 25 years and not in my
experience have we handled anything
| that even approaches TanlaC as a SELL
err. In less than five weeks time we
! have sold and distributed over 5000
! bottles, and on last Saturday alone
| over 400 people called at our stores
! to obtain the medicine. Judging from
| the repeat sales and the many express
sions of satisfaction from those who
| have actually tested TanlaC the prep
aration must be something of extra
! ordinary merit.
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Daw-
son by the Dawson Drug Co.

B. w BREEDLOVE.
The above report was adopted by
the grand jury and is incorporated
as part of our report.
County Roads.
We find that roads in certain parts
of the county are in fine shape, while
in other parts the roads are in bad
shape, and have not been worked in
some time. 1t is recommended that
the work of the county road gang be
more evenly divided among the sew
eral sections of the county.
County Farm.
We find at the county farm one
near blind negro man, who is pau
per and we believe that few dollars
spent on him would restore sight to
one eye, and we believe that it would
be economy to have him treated. We
also find one crippled pauper at the
farm.
POS acres of land are under cult
walton, and we have been furnished
with a detailed list of supplies, ma
chinery, stock, etc, on hand, which
will be filed with this report.
Pay For Jurors and Bailiffs.
We recommend the following per
diem compensation be paid: All jul
rors, 5000; court house bailiffs,
$500; riding bailiffs, $500.
We recommend that G. W. Bass
be appointed notary public and ex-
officio ]. P. in the 811th militia dis
trict.
We find the county commissioners
have had built the addition to the
vault in the office of the county clerk,
as heretofore recommended, which
adds greatly to the convenience of
same, furnishing the additional room
needed.
We recommend that the county
commissioners pay a farm demon
strator 5000 on salary for the year
1916, to be paid in II monthly in
stallments of $50 each.
We desire to thank each of the
special committees appointed by this
body to do special work, which work
each committee so appointed did well
and satisfactorily, thus expediting
and greatly lessening our labors.
We desire to thank his honor,
Judge VIM. C. Worrill, for his clear
and forceful charge, and the courte
sizes extended us, and also to thank
Solicitor General B. T. CastelloW for
his valuable aid and assistance to us.

The Presentments.

We, the grand jury chosen and
sworn for the November term, 1915,
of Terrell superior court, desire to
submit the following presentments:
We have examined the books OF
the justices of the peace of the vari-
GUS districts, and find that these
books are correctly kept, with the ex-
ception that some fail to itemize the
cost in each case as is required by
law. We recommend that each JUS
tice give this matter strict attention
and keep their books as is required
by law.
The books of all the county officers
we find in good condition, correctly
and neatly kept, and so far as we are
able to determine kept in accordance
with the law.

Like an irrepressible wave the wo-

through one legislature after another
with irresistible logic and force. New
Hampshire is the latest state to pre-
sent such a bill to the legislature
This measure, if passed, would give
New Hampshire woman presidential
and municipal suffrage, just as does
Illinois.
Demonstrated by per cent of voters
the women of Chicago exceeded the
men in interest during the primaries
II per cent of the registered voting
women went to the polls, while but
70 per cent of the men cared enough
to voice their preference for nomi
nee.

submit woman suffrage constitu-
tional amendment, November. 1916.

Woman Suffrage Department
Edited by a Suffragette.

By an overwhelming majority the
Iowa Legislature has voted to submit
a constitutional amendment for wo-
man suffrage. This makes four big
states that will present this question
to the voters. New Jersey will lead
in September, New York, Masschu-
setts in November and Iowa in the
spring of 1916.
In the inevitable march of progress
every state must finally fall into line
for votes. for women. Some states
will lead, some via lag, but all must
finally join this great procession of
democracy.

He is a fine priest of eminent stand

In speaking Of equal suffrage condi-

nuns in the New Zealand converts
vote and they are surely not consid-
cred unfeminine and unladylke. They
do not neglect their prayers or their
schools or their charities when they
go to the polls, and on the other
hand they keep in closer tluch with
the affairs of the country and reap
the benefits Of its government"

DECISION LIES WITH WILSON
MOST MoMENTOus CRISIS FACES
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.
World War, Possibly, Hangs Upon
Presidents Course-Entire Eation
Supports Executive.

Washington, June 1.-The spirit of
Memorial day peryades Washington,
American colors stream from the pub
lie buildings and the numerous statues
of the city are dIaped with the Ameri-
can flag.
Behind this setting IN the German
situation the American government is
facing the most momentouS crisis that
has confronted it since 1861. Govern
ment officials realize it, diplomatic au-
thorities are discussing it. and the
White House must be keenly aware of
the fact.
A decision is to be reached which
will have far-reaching consequences,
not only on the history of this coun-
try, but perhaps upon the history of
the entire world.
Wilson Must Decide.
That decision rests with one man
the President Of the United States.
His is the responsibility and his will
be the judgment which shall prevail.
How will he meet the crisis? Upon
what course will he direct the Ameri-
can republic? How will his decision
square with the principles of the sec
ond leading spirit of this administers
ton, the secretary of state?
These are questions which the en-
tire country as well as official Wash
ington are asking. From the White
House there comes not the slightest
intimation and none is likely to come
until the German reply to Americas
protest has been fully digested.
Public Waits A~nxiousiy.
While that process is going on, the
American public will pursue it's own
policy of watchful waiting. Watchful
of the course Of events and waiting
for the decision. There is no doubt
that in this crisis, the President will
have the support of the entire nation,
a support which will be American and
not partisan, national and not section
al. That the decision will be finally
approved, is another question not nov
involved.
World War in Balance.
Possibly a world war hangs upon
the Presidents decision. World peace
may be involved from it. 1t remains
to be seen whether or not it is pos
sible for n great nation to remain
at peace, while the rest of the world
has turned it's back on civilization in
its resort to arms.
Diplomatic and official Washington
does not believe that wal is the neces.
Sary outcome of the German reDly to
the American note. But 1t is recog-
nized that this is a possibility, a pos
sibiifiy that may be rendered a strong
probability within the next few days
should it develop that Germany has
definitely decided to hout the United
States government in it's appeal for
the protection of neutral commerce.
