OIL MILL PRESIDENT mm m pise *T. C. COOPER DECLARES TAN* "ie i iMr>r TP P.TIOiM A RI.Y THE BEST THING I EVER TRIED." . ' The Tanlac office is simply being .' Trtooded these days \vith letters of endorsement from v/<fll known men .^nd women from all parts of the South. In the past three days testimonials have been received from H. W. Hill, a well known Tennessee Ban!: President; Hon. E. T. Stead, superintendent cf schools of Carroll County, Carroliton, Ga., and many others prominent in commercial and professional life. The last addition sto the list being C. C. Cooper, President of the Georgia Home Cotton < Oil Co., of Lawrenceville, Ga. Mr. Cooper aside from being one of the most prominent business men of his home town, is well known throughout this section of the coun try. Mr. Cooper's unqualified en*jors2ment is, therefore, to be considered of great importance and "the public will undoubtedly be much in' terested in what he has to say. Mr . Cooper said: "For seven or eight years, at least, .1 have suffered from a very bad ..form of stomach trouble, from which I have been unable to obtain the "slightest relief. For months I have been in a very badly run down con< dition, and suffered endless annoy ance from bad digestion, severe headaches, nervousness, and loss of - .appetite. "Not until I began taking Tanlac, a short time ago have I been able to notice .the least improvement in my -condition, in fact, Tanlac is the * * only thing that has given me any relief, and I expect to complete the foil treatment of six bottles. It is - unquestionably the best thing of its .' kind I ever tried, as I am* greatly . improved in many ways. I heartily recommend the preparation to my friends. This shows what I think of Z.iL" Commenting on JVIr. Cooper's statement, T. W. Galyon, State Agent for South Carolina for Tan' '.lac, said: "Hundreds of such statements are reaching us from all parts . and it is indeed gratifying to see * that so many people are using Tan lac with such splendid results. "The fame of the medicine is rapidly spreading over the entire country. Thousands everywhere are behpnpfit.ted and bevond all doubt .nothing "has ever been placed on the .market in the way of a proprietary ? ^ncdicine that has attained such immediate prominence and widespread . popularity. ' "Over one million bottles of this - celebrated medicine was sold in nine months time, and it is unquestionably 'the-most widely talked-of medicine in the world today. The greatest evidence of its merit is the fact that x:,*3iose who once buy the first bottle -invariably continue the treatment .. -and recommend~it to their friends." Tanlac, the master medicine, is . sold by P. B. Speed, Abbeville; J. H. Sell & Son, Due West; J. T. Black, Calhoun Falls; E. A. Fuller & Co., McCormick; Cooley & Spear, Lown desville.?Adv.

Beauty "3ed and hubby wished he hadn't wed. Soap has the ability to clean .clothes but you have to make soap -do its work by hard work on your 'part, just as the driver has to make . the horse haul the load. Borax, harnessed on soap, makes the soap do more work and cuts dowii the amount of labor on your part. Every up-to-date housewife knows the value of borax, but many do not .realize that it cannot be combined in -proper proportion in bar soap; only 7 in the form of borax soap chips. The proper proportion is one part borax and three parts soap. This amount of borax certainly makes the soap sit up and take novdce! You will find this combination in "20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips." 25c worth will do more cleaning with less work on your part than 50c -.worth of soap powders or bar soap. DOTE ON TIMELY TOPICS. abvul, s. c., aprile fust, deer edditur, i see that lital bill has had to git away frum hoam to git sumthin to eet. well i must say - ' i.!_ iLi- ? that j nev Din expevun uus xur sum time, i thought the chile wus lookin a lital puny, an wus neadin a full meals vittles. I see the neufar boy wus with him. You cant fool bois, es i see thay didnt go to dr. neufars neither to git sumthin to eat which I shows that they had been there befoar. lizzie sais that she is afraid bill and hap will come in contact with sum of our bois if they git to runnin round the community amung the 400 huntin sumthin to eat. i had a big time on the jury last week, i wusnt on a single case an had nuthin to do but set up in the cote hous, hecr the lawyers rangle and draw too dolars a day which beets plowin. There' air a grate many men which do not wish to git on the jury atall as tha say that they can maik more at hoam. but i can git off enny time at too dolars a day an maik money, i think it wuold be well if the jury wus drawn from the fellers which air maikin less than too dolars per day, specially if ihey will git us fellers frum round town so we can go hoam at nite. this will not inconvenience enny man which dont wan to be on the jury en will help the poor man, which is me. the reason i wus not taken on a case wus 'oecaus one lawyer was afraid i would decide the case right and the other one was afraid i would not decide it wrong. I wus on one case, in which we rendered a verdict o VmnrJrpH nnd fourteen thousand dollars aginst a felar. the lawyer tryin the case, thought he knowed moar than the jury so he calcilated the intrust an tole us how much it wus. the judge sed we cud taik his I wurd fur it en the foarmun stept up i and sined the verdict, when i went, hoam that nite me an lizzy got to ' calcilatin on the thing and cording to j my count the lawyer maid a mis-1 taik of fifteen or twenty cents on the I intrust, which shows that a felar need not bee too smart and try to | do moar than a jury do. the smart, felar lost jist that much munny by not letin me maik that calcilatingr which would hev hired a nigger to hoa cotton for a half day, which is now comin on. I hev not yit decided to run agin fur Kurriner. i see that all campane liars air not ded yit. i though we wood hev had three mayers of the town by now an so we wood if every felar had voted as he promist, i hev had sum sad experients with theas felars which will come around and tell you tha will voat fur you en then go an not do it, An i am here to advise all mi frends which has a portion of his leen still to run at the stoar to stay out of pollerticks and stick to the ken. Pollerticks is too uncertain but a leen is with you all the time specially in the fall, when itcums due. an there will be no disappointment bout it cumin due, an if you air in a hurry for the cotton io open an fall to git hear jist sine one and it will be with you. i thought the poor man wood a bin rich by now. tha sed that when the old leen law was kilt that the country would jump up an git ritch in spite of itself, but i sees that you kennot down the merchants, as soon as they kilt the old leen law, the merchunts stept in with a mortgage on all craps of cotton, cotton seed, millit, corn and hay. now a felar under the ole law was out with his leen at the end of the year an when he pitched a new one, the merchant could not taik any of it out of back debts," but under the new law, i sez to the merchant i wish a leen for too hundred dolars, and the first thing i knoas he hes a)ready took out fortynine dolars and sum cents on last yeer, and when a rais a kick on this he sez if this is not saterfactory pay up an go further, but when i start i find i am hobbled, which teeches me that you cannot down the man with the rashuns when you is hungry. well lizzy is callin me to breckfust. good by Dote.

Cappleman, for- l rv-P Prnce nnrl PtnnnPr! IllClljr VI V1AV A A VUU -- . Tne Tampa Times made use of a near-humorous paragraph a few days ago and was the recipient of a gentle call-down by a South Carol? na lady over the phone. In an edi- 1 torial the Times says in part: "Having lead a near-humorous J paragraph in the Times in which it * was stated that a colored woman was 1 'gwine back to South Ca'lina' in order to get 'out of the world' in case 1 the United States went to war, a pa- j triotic South Carolina woman called 1 the editorial writer of the paper by telephone and informed him in a pleasing voice and manner that South Carolina is certainly 'in the world' and that her men are fighting men. , 'I like Florida and I like the Times \ and its editorials, but there is no ' state in the Union that can surpass ' South Carolina, a real American J state.' . To this- declaration we heartily ] agree?and then some. Founded ' principally by French Huguenots , who souerht for a place in which to \ worship God after undergoing fearful persecutions, it is natural that South Carolinians of today are indeed worthy of their ancestors.

Our hat is off to South Carolina, South Carolinians and the charming but unknown woman who champions them. f'loridians, salute your beloved ' brothers and sisters of South Carolina! I They're kingly and queenly adherents of Uncle Sam and the more we know of them the more we love them.?" Having spent some two- years in South Carolina ourselves, in which we traveled from the border line of the Old North State to Georgia, and j * a-:-- 4.~ irom Lne lviuuiiutms lu uic oca, wc heartily agree with the lady that South Carolina is "in the world" and c that no better people can be found, f not even in Old Virginia, than the <j folk of the Palmetto State. South t Carolina once led in national thought c and produced many prominent men. \ This same spirit prevails today, mak- c ing her people worthy sons and r daughters of their ancestors, gener- 1 ous, enterprising, public spirited, patriotic. s Many of our Florida people ri either came from Carolina originally, a or are descendants of that people r and make excellent citizens of their adopted State. We agree, "hats off to South Carolina." KILLED ON RAILROAD TRACKS. American Magazine.
