JIM PRICE, BAHNsEN, AND THE
SICK MULE.

J MilledgevtIle, Ca, July 10, 1915.
Dear Sir: In your Jeffersonian Of
Sn1s week notice letter In regard
20 Commissioner Price, his lackey
Bannsen, the coming election, and
The cattle tick.
Two weeks ago had a very sick
mule. The veterinary here pro-
noanced the disease CHAMBERS and re-
FUSED to treat her.
Knowing that it was against the
law to kill stock, my husband in
Qufred in Milledgevflle as to what
he should do with her, as we did not
wish to scatter the disease. He was
told by Dr.. ]. A. Price that l should
write to his father, J. D. Price, who
would send the state veterinary here
Tree of charge, to examine her and
Kill her if necessary.
l did not wait to write to Commits
s1oner Price, but talked to him over
the long distance telephone that
night, July 8, at the rate of sixty-one
l61) cents per talk. He thought
Bahnsen had left Atlanta for Ameri-
Gus, Ii he had not he would be here
sunday, and, If he were in Americas.
L might expect him the following
Monday.
have heard nothing from either
OF them, but my mule is better.
am really glad now that Bahnsen
ala not see her for would certainly
nave had no mule now.
| merely wanted you to know this
IN case you should care to use it in
connection with their race for office.
Also to show you how poor people
are treated by the State officers. Had
! been able, I certainly would have
telephoned for Macon veterinary
and never to Price
thanking you for your time and
wishing you success, I am,
Very truly yours,

Friends all Astonished at
Her Wonderful Recovery.

Just three weeks ago last Sunday
at least seventy-fve people visited
our house expecting me to die. or to
md me dead. l was actually so sick
and my condition so critical the
superintendent of the Street Car
Company instructed the motormen
to go slow by our house and not let
the cars make any noise. Everybody

ment made recently by Miss Ola

lady who lives at 1146 Coggina

known there.

suffered all kinds of pain and was
In such agony at times 1 would
actually scream.
One doctor said | had Pellagra,
and mother said l had to go back to
the hospital and be operated on
again. For three weeks I didn't sleep
three hours at any one time, and
everybody seemed to think l was 60
ing to die soon.
Il suffered for ten years from
stomach trouble and l don't know
what else. ! had such severe pains

In my back and stomach never knew
what it was to be easy except when
the doctors would give me something
to stop the pain. l was green all
around the mouth and eyes and was
nothing but skin and bones. The
doctors said l had serious female
trouble and would never be we'll
again until had another operation.
While they were reading the
newspaper to me one day a Tanlac
testimonial was read, and I thought
would throw away another dollar
as the last resort, for | had tried
everything in the world except Tan
lac. That is the best thing I ever
did in my life for 1 can truthfully
say that l do not believe [ would be
alive today if it had not been for this
medicine. 1t is almost magical the
way it seemed to help me, for I was
able to sit up the second day after |
started on it.
L have now taken three bottles of
the medicine, and l not only feel
better than have at any time in ten
years, but I have actually gained
twenty pounds in weight-think Of
lt-tWenty pounds. That is just what
Tanlac did for me and there is no
doubt about it. If people don't be-
lieve you just tell them to come to
see me. My skin has cleared up and
l no longer have that greenish I'M
natural look around my eyes. | feel
just splendidly every way, and am
as jolly as can be all the time. Tan
lac is responsible for it all because
l took nothing else after the first
dose, as ! threw all the other medi-
cine away.
Il recommend Tanlac now be-
cause l know what it did for me.
Only the other day my mother was
talking about the wonderful change
in my condition, and said it seemed
strange that only three dollars worth
of Tanlac would make we we'll and
strong again after they had spent
nearly all they had made in the last
ten years for other medicines. IT is
simply worth it's weight in gold, and
/ wouldn't take any amount of money
for what it has done for me-"
Tanlac is sold by regular estab-
lished agencies in all principal towns
of the South.-Adv.

"Just as it is true that the lawyer or

man must be on his toes, figuratively
speaking, on the alert all the time, al

fact that the man in professional or

FLOOD COSTS $1,000, 900.
Work of Aiding Sufferers at Yuma,
Ariz., Proceeds Rapidly.

YUMA, ARIZ., Jan. 25.-Work of
rescuing Yuma valley flood sufferers is
being carried forward by local authori
ties, aided by officials of the Southern
Pacific railroad from Tucson, Ariz..
VINO have brought equipment to supply
the city temporarily with water, gas
and electricity. 1t is estimated that the
damage from the flood will amount to
more than $1,000,000. Nearly every
house in the Mexican quarter is in
ruins. Many business houses still are
flooded and the two newspaper plants
are out of commission. Steps have been
taken for a bond election to meet the
expense of building the levees wi h
rock. In Yuma valley Government ir-
rigating canals held the water back
from breaks in levees along the river
front.

BARTON MAN SUED.
Dorchester, Mass, Woman Seeks S9,o5o
for Her Child.

BOSTON, Jan % James Clark
King, more than 30 years old, Of
Barton, VI. is being sued in Chicago
for $1,000 by Mary Ellen WEIGH OF
Dorchester.
This strange geographical combina-
tion occurs through the fact that a
$40, 600 trust fund.- left to King by his
uncle, James G. King of Chicago, has
been in the custody of the Northern
Trust company of Illinois, Chicago;
and it is this fund which has been
attached by attorneys acting for Miss
Welch, who claims that James Clark
King signed a contract to pay her q
monthly allowance of SO until MAJ
Is, 1920, when he agreed to pay her
$4,000 cash, for the support of her
child which ne, it is alleged, has
acknowledged TO be his. King was mar
ried at the time of the birth, his wife
/ dying last November This marriage
took place 80 years ago.
The suit results from the claim of
the plaintiff that King has failed to
make his monthly, payments; that
$500 is now due, and that the contract
contained a provision that, if at any
time King failed to pay any of tho
provided sums, the whole sum then
would become due and eollectable
Therefore. Miss Welch sues for the en-
tire amount, which includes all court
and attorneys fees and expenses.
When King inherited his fortune
which, it is said. included a large sun
outright besides the trust fund, ht
abandoned farming, which he had prac
ticed for many years outside of Bar
/, ton, and moved into Boston, where hi
lived ostentatiously and became know
as a ''sport. While there, it is said
lie met Miss Welch, who was worbia.
in an apron factory. Her former HON,
was in Montana. The alleged contrac
was made after boy was born to TIL,
woman, who IS p years old, on Dee
5, 1919. and it bore date of April Is
1913. Miss Welch at present is employ
ed in Wellesley.

CLASH BETWEEN
OFFICIALS AT PANAMA
Canal Governor Accompanying the Mil
itary Governor Home to Explain
Situation.

PANAMA, Jan. 25.-Serious differ
eaces of an official nature which have
arisen during the last few months be-
tween Major General Cocktails, COVER
nor of the Panama Canal zone, and
Brig. Gen. Edwards, commanding the
United States troops in the zone, are
to come to a head at Washington when
these two officials reach the capital, ac-
cording to Governor Goethals. They
sailed yesterday for the United States
cn the steamer Calamares.
Governor Cocktails said before his
departure that criticisms, alleged to
have been made by General Edwards.
had reached the secretary of war and
that the secretary had requested in
| formation on the subject. The govern
or replied with an official communica-
ton, detailing the troubles.
Governor Goethals declared that Gen
eral Edwards had had much to say re-
sarding the administration of affairs
| on the lsthmus, especially with refer
ence to the methods and costs of con
struction of many military buildings
| under canal jurisdiction. 1t is under
stood that Governor Goethals also re-
sents many of the criticisms alleged
to have been made by General Ed
wards regarding the form of the canal
government, General Edwards believ-
| ing, it is said, that the military and
civil authority should be vested in
che person, instead of separated, as at
present.
General Edwards, before leaving
Panama, said that Governor Goethals
had been misinformed, but otherwise
he declined to discuss the subject
Governor Cocktails further announc-
Cd that he intends to give General Ed
wards ample opportunity to make what
ever statements he thinks necessary be-
fore the secretary of war and the con
gressional committees.
