TO present to the many readers
throughout the State, reasons why |
would appreciate and feel grateful
to them, if they would remember my
friend Judge Walter F. George, on
september 18th, and cast their vote
for him for one of the judges of the
Court of Appeals Of Georgia. Judge
George has served the people Of the
COrdele Circuit comprising Tho
counties Of Dolly Wilcox, Ben Hill,
Irwin and Crisp, for the past six
years as Judge and for four years
as Solicitor General prior to his cleo
ton as Judge Of the Circuit By re-
fering to the Supreme Court and
Court of Appeals reports, it will be
found that he has been reversed as
few times as any Judge in the State,
thereby making for him a record
which is an honor to him, and fully
demonstrates his ability as lawyer,
Judge and clean fearless gentleman.
| have been intimately associated
with Judge George in the court
house in the trial of cases for the
past fifteen years, and in all my ca
reer as an attorney, I have never
found more able, honest and i'm
partial trial Judge than Walter F.
George. I appeal to my friends all
over the State, to remember and
vote for Judge George for one of the
Court of Appeals Judges at the
primary election to be held on Tues
day September 18th, 1916.

Praise of Tanlac Than
Any Medicine He Ever
Sold in His Life.

Sold in His Life.
The following letter was received
at the Tanlac Office from Dr. G. w.
De La Perriere, of Winder, Ga. DR..
De La Perriere is not only one of the
best known physicians and druggists
in the State, but also a capitalist of
note, man of wide influence and
ranks as one of the leading citizens
of this enterprising town. He is di-
rector of the Winder National Bank,
North Georgia Trust and Banking
Company, Farmers Bank, Barrow
County Cotton Mill, Bell Overall
Company and in addition to other
large holdings has three fine farms
in South Georgia. He has been in
business in Winder at his present
stand for twenty-five years. Such
is the type of the man who says that
Tanlac is the most wonderful medi-
cine he has ever sold in his life. His
letter follows:
"Winder, Ca, May 10, 1915.
"Mr. G. F. Willis, Atlanta Ca

jects on the two occasions to which you refer, but I hope that you will be kind enough to draw very carefully the dis tinction between your own individual views and the views of the administra- tion
 You will, of course, understand that am devoting my energy and attention un- sparingly in conference with members of the various committees of Congress in an effort to procure an agreement upon a workable and practicable programme This is a time when it seems to me pa- tience on the part of all of us is the essence in bringing about a consumma- ton of the purpose we all have in mind. Very sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON" MT. Garrison thereupon decided that resignation from the cabinet was his only course and wrote:
 February 10, 1916 My Dear MT. President:
 T am just in receipt of yours of Feb- ruary 10, in reply to mine of February 9. It is evident that we hopelessly disagree upon what l conceive to be fundamental principles. This makes manifest the inn propriety of my longer remaining your

STOOD FOR RIGHTS


 Mr. Garrison is understood to have been one of those cabinet members who l have stood most firmly for declara- ton of the nations rights in the de- Alterations that have resulted from the Lusitania incident and the interruption of American commerce with neutral nations of Europe.
 When American troops were sent to Vera Cruz to relieve Admiral Fletch- CTS marines and sailors, Secretary Garrison worked day and night in an effort to prepare the army for war in Mexico if that was to come. The echoes Of the steps he then took to insure a prompt response by the National Guard | in case of need and to provide for sup of the call for them, still reach Wash ington occasionally
 In conducting the affairs of the war department Secretary Garrison has started a campaign of decentralization which is yet to be completed. His the ory is that greater efficiency will come from lodging responsibility directly with commanding officers whether of companies or departments and then compelling them to live up to that duty
 MT. Garrison is the third member of President Wilson's cabinet to resign. The first, Justice McReynolds, resigned
 
 on the supreme court. The second, Will liam J. Bryan, resigned as Secretary of
 State because of difficulties with the President over the conduct of the sub marine warfare controversy with Ger many.
 The correspondence between Secre- tary Garrison and the President which began on January 12, follows: January 12, 1916.
 LETTER TO WILSON s'My Dear Mr. President: In my judg- ment we are facing a critical juncture with respect to the military part of the national defense programme. q am convinced that unless the situa- tion is dealt with promptly and ef- fectively. we can indulge in no reasona- ble expectation of any acceptable re- suit.
 'So far as the military part of na- tional defense is concerned, there can be no honest or worthy solution which does not result in national forces un- der the exclusive control and authority Of the national government. Any other solution is illusory and not real, is ap- parent and not substantial.
 There is Q perfectly legitimate field of discussion and debate as to the means of obtaining these national forces. Tine proportion thereof that should be the regular standing army, that should be organized reserves or the regular standing army, or should be drawn from the body of citizens for shorter periods of national service than those in the regular standing army are all legitimate and proper matters for consideration, analysis and discussion. But there is absolutely no dissent, from the military standpoint, from the conclusion that the only measure of na- tional defense that possesses any virtue is one which produces national forces From the beginning of the government to this time. excepting during periods Iof actual war, the acknowledged weak ness and defect of the situation arose out of the lack of any system produc- ing these federal forces. The situation was rendered worse by the presence of state troops, raised, officered. trained | and governed by the states. that were

inadvisable for me to take the position that I must dissent from that action should both houses of Congress concur in a bill embodying that amendment. That is g. matter upon which I must, of course, withhold judgment until the joint action of the two houses reaches me in definite form. What the final action of the houses will be no one can at this time certainly forecast. I am now, of course, engaged in conference with MT. Jones and others with regard to the probable &C., tion of the House of Representatives in this matter and do not yet know what it is likely to be. The one obvious thing, it seems to me, is the necessity for calm and deliberate action on our part at this time when matters of such gravity are to be determined and not only calm and deliberate action, but action which takes into very serious consideration views differing from our own.
 Second, as have had occasion to say to you, l am not yet convinced that the measure of preparation for national de- fense which we deem necessary can be obtained through the instrumentality of the Nationa, Guard under federal control and training, but I feel in duty bound to keep my mind open to conviction on that side and think that it would ka most unwise and most unfair to the commit tee of the House, which has such a plan in mind, to say that it cannot be done. The bill in which it will be embodied has not yet been drawn, as I learned today from MT. Hay. I should deem it very serious mistake to shut the door against this attempt on the part of the commit tee in perfect good faith to meet the es- sentials of the programme set forth in my message. but in a way of their own choosing.
 IS AGAINST COMPULSION
 'As you know, I do not at all agree with you in favoring compulsory enlist ment for training, and fear the advo- cacy of compulson before the committee of the House on the part of representa- tives of the department of war has great ly prejudiced the House against the pro- posaI for continental army, little neces- sary connection as there Is between the plan and the opinion of the chief of staff in favor of compulsory enlistment.
 'I owe you this frank repetition of my views and policy in this matter, which we have discussed on previous occasions, in the letters which we have exchanged and in conversation. I am very much obliged to you for your own frank avowal of your convictions. I trust that you will feel no hesitation about expressing your personal views on both these sub

Pete Wilson Applies Paint Brush t.
 Elm City Nine.

New Haven, Aug. 21.-The Col lonials were defeated by the Reming- ton Arms company nine of Bridgeport on the Lighthouse grounds yesterday afternoon, 2 to 0.
 It is often the case that when g team wants most to win and is deter mined to put up the game of its life to gain a verdict it falls down hard est. Yesterday was evidently one ot those occasions with the Colonials From the time they stepped on the field to go through a very ragged field ing practice until Pete Wilson tossed out the last man in the ninth. they looked very, very bad, in fact put UT their poorest exhibition of the past two seasons. Only the sensational work of Pumpelly in the box. whc made a decided hit with the crowd held the Remingtons to their twr scores, the big fellow pulling out ot hotes which his teammates had due Tor him continually. Two hits and nc scores tell the story of the local offen- siwe for the day.

A FAST BATTLE.
Hustlers and Murlins in Long Battle,
 Darkness Ending It With a>Tie.

Bridgeport, Aug. 21.-New Haven and Bridgeport fought fifteen long innings for a box score at NeWfield park yesterday afternoon, darkness putting a halt on the activities with the score knotted at threes. The con- test was one of the most sensational pitchers battles of the year, Harry Weaver and "Shanty" House going the entire route for their respective clubs. With break of luck Weaver should have emerged a winner but costly -nfleld errors denied him a victory Weaver lost an eleven inning game here a week ago yesterday and a twelve rounder in New London last Thursday. One day the boys don't hit behind him and another day they gum up things by a cracking defense. Yes terday they did both. The score:

Cincinnati, Aug. 21.-Boston won the first game of the series from Gin cinnati here yesterday.

COOMBS TWIRLS ... ONE HIT GAME
Dodgers Win Over Cubs By Lone
 Tally

Chicago, Ang. 21.-Jacl1 Coombs, pitching the finest article of ball seen hereabouts for many days, proved an unsolvable enigma for the Cubs yes- ,terday and the Robins won a tight contest by the score of 1 to 0. Six teen thousand perspiring fans sat through the combat suffering palpita- tion of the heart and constantly hop ing against hope that there would be a break in the first-line trenches of the New Workers. There was posi- lively nothing doing, however. Gas attacks forays frontal charges in mass formation, everything but bombardment was tried. There was no bombardment to speak. Of Max Flack, in the seventh inning, fur nished the only bombardment so far as the Cubs were concerned.
 Coombs had one strike on Flack and then curved low one on the out side Flack met is squarely and it sped fairly inside the first base line, went for a single. That was all, but as a result the Cubs learned by other than hearsay evidence that such thing as first base existed.
 Wild Pitch of Value to Robins.
 
 Hendrix, the slippery-elm artist who admits Kansas as his home. Claude was also there with a high-grade vari- ety of twirling, but lost his game in the third with a wild pitch. It was his only break, but damage had been done. Zack Wheat had smashed out a long fly, which Zeider misjudged, and Wheat romped to third before the sphere was relayed. This incident ra- ther upset Hendrix for a moment. He put too much steam on his next curve and Elliott couldn't get his hands on it properly, with the result that Wheat the wild pitch.
 While it was a hard game to lose, the fans were unsparing in their ap plause for the masterly performance ] of COombs. TWenty-six Cubs faced 1 him. Zimmerman was awarded a l base on balls in the second inning, i but was nipped trying to steal sec- ond. Rolla Zeider also reached first ! base when Mowrey threw badly to I McCarty, and in the seventh Flack 1 reached first on a single, the only Chicago hit of the game. A moment later he was retired while attempt did not see second base during the com bat.
