German Officer Says Next Great
War Will be Between Japan
and u. s.,

Berlin, Feb. 9.-Germans be-
lleve the next great war will be
fought between the. United States
and Japan, with Holland possibly
on America s side.
Nowhere in America excepting
perhaps on the Pacific Coast is
there such lively discussion Of a
Japanese-American conflict as in
Germany. Germans believe war
between the two countries newt
able because Japan wants the
Philippines and is restless under
American immigration laws.
On a recent day when the Lusi-
tania negotiations were reported
to have reached a critical point
the Berlin papers printed a dis
patch declaring Japan had sent
the United States yelled ultima
.tum demanding that japanese
citizens be allowed to land in
America without restrictions. I'm
mediately the report spread that
the United States would back
down on the Lusitania question.
Germany is going to sell
Japan all the arms and ammuni-
tion she wants if Japan and Amer
lea 60 to war;" said one German
officer.
Holland, according to best in
formation obtainable here, fears
that on the same day the Japanese
war party demands an attack on
the United States, Java and her
other possessions in the East In
dies will become endangered.

Henry F. Poage q Candidate for
Circuit Judge.

We call attention of our read
ers to the announcement. Of Henry
+. Poague of Clinton in Henry
county as a candidate for the NOM
ination Of Circuit Judge of the
29th Judicial District to succeed
Judge c. A. Calvird, the present
incumbent, subject to the action
of the Democrats Of Bates, Ben
ton, Henry and st. Clair, the four
counties comprising the district,
at the primary election to be held
on August LIST, 1916.
Mr.. Poague is a graduate of the
Law Department of the State I'm
iversity at Columbia and was ad-
mitted to practice by the Supreme
Court at Jefferson City in 1892.
Shortly after his admission he re-
moved from the farm in Benton
county where he was born and
grew to manhood to Clinton and
soon built up a lucrative prac-
tice.
Mr.. Poague has served as pros
ecuting attorney of his adopted
county eight years, having been
first nominated and elected in
1898 and reelected in 1900, and
after an interval of six years he
was again elected in 1908 and re-
elected in 1910. During his in
cumbency of this office he pros

gained reputation as a vigorous
prosecutor of the criminal law

He is in the very prime of life

one Of the leading lawyers of the
Henry County bar. And if sue

give helping hand to any one in
need, and is Democrat who be-
lieves in the principles Of his
party, that the will of the major
ity should be upheld and respect
ed. Should he fail in securing the
nomination he will give his sue
cessful opponent the same undi-
vided support that he would have
expected whether his personal
is realized or not.
Mr.. Poague will visit several
counties in the district and meet
as many of the voters personally
as possible before the primary.

NO, answered Lydia, glad that he
could not see her blush.
"Nor ever will be?"

Its one of the risks of>life," said
Sarnold. Marriage is the penalty"
And so their association began,
and Lydia soon learned why Sarnold>
had spoken so bitterly of marriage.
If ever there was an incongTUous
couple it was Sarnold and his wife.
SarhOld was quiet, gentle, thoughtful
and, perhaps, a little irritable upon
occasion; Mrs. SarnOld was shrewish,
cold, calculating, and evidently
source of continual distress to her
husband. What the life of the couple
could be like when she was not pres
ent Lydia could very well understand
from what she saw while she was
there.
And from the first Lydia seemed
to become the object Of Mrs. Sar-
nold's hostility. She guessed that
the wife, too selfish to take the place
she should have done as her hus-
bands assistant, grudged her her
own. Nevertheless, Mrs. SarnoId
shrewdly realized that her future, as
well as her husbands, lay at Lydia's
mercy.
At the end of three months
Lydia could take her employers sto-
ries exactly on the typewriter from
the dictaphone, punctuate to please
him, and even ventured to make sug-
gestions which he sometimes adopt
ed. That was the beginning, in fact,
of a very happy partnership. Those
hours were the happiest in Sarnold's
life. Gradually their intimacy grew
and Mrs. Sarnold was not slow to
perceive it
Sarnold's blindness seemed to have
become quite progressive. He CROPPED
his way about the room now like one

He was at work on a serial novel,
and from the beginning something
had told her that it embodied a great
deal of his own life. Delicately dis
gUised though she was, Lydia knew,
too, that Mrs. Sarnold was the wom-
an who had wrecked that life And
then, suddenly, Lydia realized that
the healing spirit which entered was
herself!
How she knew she could not i'm
agine, for the girl was depicted as to-
tally different from her. But she
knew, and her hand fell suddenly
from the typewriter keys, and some
how Sarnold's found it and closed
upon it And without a word being
spoken Lydia knew that their love
was mutual, was the dearest and the
most sacred thing in all the world.
Then, looking UP with a guilty
start, Lydia saw Mrs. SarnOld stand
ing in the doorway. A cold smile
played about her lips; she had seen
and understood.
She said nothing, and the next
day. Lydia spoke to SarnOld of the
resolution to which she had come.
You asked me when you engaged
me whether 1 was engaged-in an
other sense" she said, with a laugh
of affected embarrassment "Or
whether 1 expected to be. l did not,
but-but someone has come into my
life, and I am going to leave you"
She saw SarnOld start in amaze
ment, and then a. look of bitterness
crossed his face. She knew what that
look meant. He had given her the
unspoken homage Of his love, and
she-had accepted it while her heart
was another's.
Wrong though that love had been,
there were many elements to justify
it. And Sarnold felt that she had de-
ceived him wTetchedly.

When he let's day go by without

When he values success more than

4 FLIvvER FOR
EVERY FORTY-FOUR

Recently published figures giving
the number of motor cars in the
United States give an impressive
idea of the enormity of the autotmo-
bile business and the large sums of
money that have been paid out by
the States for cars in the past few
years.
Fifteen years ago the automobile
business was in its infancy, and ten
years ago the motor car was a luxury
INDUCED in by the well-to-do. To-
day the automobile is generally &C
cepted as the conveyance for all
classes.
In Iowa there is a car for each
sixteen people, and in California. and
other Western States the per cent. is
almost the same. In Georgia We
have an automobile to each 1874 and
at this we lead the Southern States.
The automobile is expensive,
whether it is used as a luxury or as
a necessity, but in /, either case it
yields results commensurate with the
cost. 1t has done much to add to the
comfort and convenience of travel,
and it is doing much to facilitate
business. OF course the motor car
has come to stay. There will be more
cars in Georgia than there were ever
buggies and wagons. They will be
improved from year to year, and they
will also be cheapened. With the
improvement of the roads and the
improvement of the cars. the life of a
car will become longer, and its use
fulness will be increased.
1t is revolutionizing business and
it will revolutionize society. 1t
speeds up everything, brings human
ity closer together and adds to the
spice of life.
Automobiles come high, but let
'em come.-Moultrie (Ga. }. Observer.

WIFE OF GEORGIA
RY. ENGINEER GAINED
TWENTY-FIVE LBS
G. G. Geiger Says His Wife Suffered
With Rheumatism for Years.

"Tanlac has not only relieved my
wife of very severe attack of rheu-
matism, but she has actually gained
twenty-five (25) pounds since she
began taking the medicine" said
Mr.. G. G. Geiger, residing at 1873
East Linden street, Atlanta, Ca, for
a number of years employed as en-
gineer by the Georgia railroad.
II don't believe 1 ever saw anyone
suffer with rheumatism as much as
shedid," continued Mr.. Geiger in his
statement to the Tanlac representa-
tive. Sometimes her feet would
swell so she couldn't get her shoes
on. The pains in her arms were so
great at times she would remark that
they felt like they were about to
drop off. She had severe headaches,
and was dizzy and nervous all the
time and unable to sleep well at
night. Her appetite failed her and
she lost a great deal in weight and
strength She sometimes got so bad
off she would have to go to bed and
stay for weeks at a time. When she
wasn't in bed she felt so tired and
played-out she was never able to
look after her housework.
"She tried all kinds of medicine,
but nothing seemed to do her much
good, and when l began to hear so
much talk about Tanlac, l just made
up my mind to lay all the other med
icines aside and put her on Tanlac.
"She has now finished her fourth
bottle and she is like a different
woman. The rheumatism has been
entirely relieved; she doesn't have
the headache any more, is no longer
nervous like she used to be, and she
sleeps like a baby She has a splen-
did appetite and has been gaining
strength and weight right along,
and, as have already told you, she
has gained twenty-five pounds. She
is full of life and energy now, and is
looking after the homework like she
hadn't ever been sick.
al tell you, it's Just wonderful the
way this medicine has helped her
| for she was almost a nervous wreck
when she started taking it. I'll new.
er be able to tell you how thankful
| am for what it has done for her
and I'm recommending it to all my
friends. Many of them have already
begun taking it on my recommends.
