DEEP SECRETS ATTEND
DRESS MAKING BUSINESS

Atlanta, Ga, March 28.-According
to a we'll known local modiste, the fol
lowers of feminine fashions would be
surprised to find what deep, dark dress
making secrets are often concealed I'M
der apparently innocent and obviously
charming innovations.
There's buttons, for example; two to
a coat is now smart style, one to hold
the collar, one to fasten the belt. And
an attractive little trick is to fasten
them with silk cords rather than with
old-fashioned worked buttonholes.
This is not mere caprice of fash
ion, however 1t is a carefully planned
economy of the manufacturers. For
behind those two buttons is the saving
of thousands of dollars with the man
ufacturers. They do not have to pay
for making buttonholes.

MAY TEST
NEW PROHIBITION LAW

Atlanta, March 22.-Street gossip
had it today that a majority of the
saloon men of Atlanta are in favor of
combining to make test in the courts
of the constitutional validity of the
new Georgia prohibition law which is
to become effective May 1.
1t is said that a straw vote was TAX
en- among the saloon proprietors with
the result that large majority of
them were shown in favor of getting
counsel and making some test cases
to try out whether the law has any
weak points just as soon as it is put
into operation.
So far as can be learned up to date,
all the Atlanta clubs are planning to
observe both the. letter and the spirit
of the law.

FAMINE IN DYE-STUFFS
MAY BE FAR REACHING

Atlanta, March 27.-According to To-
cal experts the famine in dye-stuffs
owing to the war in Europe, is soon
going to become such serious mat
ter in America that we may have not
only white hosiery, white magazine
covers, white carpets, but even if it
lasts long enough, white postage
stamps and white currency.
Next to preparedness and the need
of merchant marine, it is said that
the dye problem is really the most
far-reaching that the American ma
ton confronts.
OF course America can make dyes,
but they are not the kind of dyes that
last. They fade and run and can't
stand either light or soap and water.

HARRIS FRIENDS SAY
HARDMAN REASONING FINE

Atlanta, March 27.-The friends of
Governor Nat E. Harris have laid hold
of the statement accredited to DR.. L.
G. Hardman in his Cuthbert speech IA
voring four year term for governor,
and are insisting that Hardman's &C.
lions in trying to deny the incumbent
a second term and force him out of Of,
flee in disregard of precedent at the
end of the first two years, are widely
at variance with his words.
In his speech at Cuthbert, DR.. Hard
man was quoted as saying that he
would support biennial sessions, and
that furthermore he saw no reason
why the governor shouldn't be named
four years, and pointed out the advan-
tages to be gained in the way Of knowl
edge and experience by a man holding
the Office long enough to get familiar
with it's every detail before the time
came around for him to get busy in
another campaign.
Governor Harris friends say that
DIR. Hardman's line Of reasoning is
splendid, but that in the light Of it
they can't understand his trying to
GUST the present governor to- make q
place for himself.

BIG RATHER GAVE
HOT FIGHT TO FARMER

Triton, March 27.-Word has been
brought of a remarkable fight to the
death between M. A. Mcmillan, an
aged farmer living near here, and a
giant rattlesnake, in which the man
finally conquered.
Mr. Mcmillan, who is well advanced
in years and consequently not able to
move with the alacrity Of youth, was
mending fence when he disturbed a
rattlesnake so large that when piled
in coil it's head was more than two
feet above the ground. The snake
struck at him and would have reached
its mark if it hadn't been DETECTED by
heavy briers Before it could coil to
strike again, Mr. Mcmillan seized
rail and with the end of it pinned the
snake to the ground He tried to call
for help, but none was near. The
snake by main strength twisted it's
elf out from under the rail and pre-
pared to strike again. This time Mr..
Mcmillan got beyond striking distance,
but the snake followed him, an unus-
ual thing for a RATHER, and continued
the attack The snake was sounding
it's rattlers continually.
Mr.. Mcmillan finally picked up a
shorter rail and with it gave battle.
1t was some time before his blows
stopped the onslaughter of the rep
tile, and it was so thick, about the
size Of a mans arm that it seemed i'm
possible to break it's back, but finally
we'll directed blow on the head did
the business. The snake measured
six feet in length.

ESCAPE IN JASPER COUNTY

Atlanta, March 27.-The state COM

ing from T. P. Knight, of Monticello,
convict warden of Jasper county, stat
ing that Saturday night four convicts,
the most notorious and desperate char
acters in the states prison, escaped

PEOPLE OUGHT
To KNOW ABOUT i
SAYS J. B. BUCHAN
Well Known Hawkinsville Farmer
Says Stomach and Kidneys Were
Out of Order for Long Time-....
TanIac Overcomes Troubles.

Of the thousands of letters that have
been recently received at the Tanlac
office from men and women who have
been benefited by its use, none are
more interesting that the one received
last Monday from Mr. Eli w. Goode
the well known druggist of Hawkins
vile, Ga, Mr.. Goodies letter follows:
Hawkinsville, Ca, March IS, 1916.
Mr. G. F. Willis, Atlanta, Ca
Dear Sir: Mr.. ]. B. A. Buchan, one
of our most prominent citizens and
successful farmer, came into my store
and said:
eli, if anybody here wants to know
anything about Tanlac, tell them |
tried it and it is all right. AS you know
l had been sick for quite a while. My
kidneys, liver and stomach were all
out of shape and all that was being
done for me would not relieve me of
my troubles, and l read in the papers
about Tanlac and saw you sold it. l
thought l would try it, and, if you re-
collect, asked you about it, and you
told me that while you did not know
whether it would do me any good or
no, if you were me you would try it,
and if | thought it did me any good
to continue taking it. So 1 bought
bottle and began taking it and began
to feel better right away. Now l
sleep we'll My liver nor kidneys do
not trouble me and | can sleep all
night without having to get up and
can eat and digest well anything
want.
81 also use the Tanlac Laxative Tab
lets and have recommended them and
Tanlac to a number of people, and if
anybody is troubled with stomach,
liver, kidney or bladder troubles, from
my experience l certainly advise them
to try Tanlac."
| said "Mr. Buchan, would you mind
my printing in the paper your endorse
ment of Tanlac." He said, "No,-any-
thing that has done so much good to
anybody in my shape, people should
know about it.
Referring to Mr.. Buchan's state
ment, Mr.. G. F. Willis, Southern Dis
tributor of Tanlac, said:
'"There is not single portion of the
body that is not benefited by the
healthful work of Tanlac, which be-
gins it's action of stimulating the di-
gestive and assimilative organs, there
by enriching the blood and invigorat-
ing the whole body Next, it enables
the stomach to thoroughly digest the
food, thereby permitting the assim-
liable products to be converted into
blood, bone and muscle. 1t overcomes
the great exciting causes OF disease
weakness. 1t renders the body Wig
orous and elastic, keeps the mind clear
and energetic and throws off the symp
toms of nervousness and indigestion.
1t builds up the constitution weakened
by disease and mental and physical
overwork, quickens convalescence and
is an unfailing source of comfort to
the aged and infirm.
"By increasing all the powers of en-
durance, it enables those who use Tan
lac to better encounter fatigue, expos
ure and overwork."
Tanlac is sold in Cordele exclusively
by J. B. Ryals Drug Co.; In Hatley by
Roberts Co.; and in Arab by City

Uncle Harry Tells About The Campaign Toward Egypt

But isn't that desert country down
there around Turkey and Arabia, and
wouldn't the soldiers have to use
camels instead of horses?' asked
Jimmy
yes a great deal of the country
is desert land, where camels are used
instead OF horses" said Uncle Harry,
"and to make travel even more
difficult there is only a single track
railway running through Turkey and
Syria. Then. too, the water supply in
that part of the world is never any
too good or too plentiful at the best
I'm fact. il is just these conditions that
lead many people to believe that Tur-
key cannot send a big enough army
and big enough supplies to capture
the canal and Egypt. Furthermore,
the canal is fortified with many big
guns and guarded by many English
and Egyptian soldiers. Another thing
to remember is that Indian troops
under English officers are fighting
their way up the Tigris river which
is over there, in that part Of Turkey
which is east Arabia and also, that
one of the big Russian armies is
coming down over the Caucasus Noun
tains, and invading tho northern part
of Turkey"

England has rich possessions in
