THE MANNING TIMES I. I. APPELT------------------------------- ------.. ...- . . Editor F. M. SHOPE---_ . _ . ..-------------------------------.B... ness Manager PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. MANNING, S. C., FEBRUARY 13, 1918. That German peace dove turned out 'to be a crow. If some men profited by all their mistakes they would soon be millionaires. This would be a good time to include the sheep-killing dog in the meatless days. If this war goes on much longer they will soon be teach ing geography in the schools by wireless. Hooverizing seems to have successfully tak ,n the place of Fletcherizing as a remedy for all stomach iils. Farmers will soon be afraid to be seen bringing eggs to town, for fear of encountering the income-tax collector. Those first five coalless days were about as far removed from coldless days as the weather man has given us so far. Eggs 75c a dozen in Chicago! That fabled goose that laid the golden egg was a piker beside the little brown hen. "Germans Enconomize on Light."-Headline. Which they can very easily do since their principal activities seem to be under cover of darkness. An evangelist says the kaiser and his field marshals will spend eternity in hell. In that case Judas Iscariot should start a petition for a pardon. Luke McLuke claims to be the only humorist who never. wrote a mother-in-law joke. Has Luke a mother-in-law, and is she so formidable as all that? The packing house investigations may not be turning up any embalmed beef, but they threaten to disclose some things with an equally offensive odor. Gen. Pershing is reported engaged to be married. Let us hope this engagement will be free from the dangers in- I cident to the one Uncle Sam entrusted him with. A news item says "Hoover wants the government to buy all the sugar." It might just as well. ith the whole country going "dry" there'll soon be nothing left to mix it with. Congress needs to be bluntly told that with fewer "in vestigations" there would likely be more work done in speeding up war preparations. The chief business of ad ministration officials lately has been in giving evidence. Let them go back to work.

Mark CONVINCED OF TANLAC BY AID GIVEN. WIFE Husband Says She Added Fifteen Pounds on Four Bottles DOUBLE ENDORSEMENT Knew Tanlac Would Help Him Great ly When He Began It, And He Tells Details Cases in which two or more people in the same family have been so great ly benefited by Tanlac that they have offered a double endorsement of this famous Master Medicine are common. When you se,) a person relieved cf suf fering and made strong again, it is the most natural thing in the world for you to want the same ben- its. This is how Charles E. Whitmore, of 103 Bradford St., Albany, N. Y., hap pened to take Tanlac. "My wife, who had been all run down and nervous and getting weaker right along, began to take Tanlac." Mr. Whitman explained. "Well, of course, I wanted the results, and it was wonderful to see the way it built her up. On four bottles she gained fifteen pounds. I had been doubtful about Tanlac, but that settled me. When I started Tanlac I could hardly eat one good meal in a whole week. From suffering with a bad stomach I had become nervous and restless at night and all run down. Instead of di gesting, my food would just lie like lead on my stomach and sour and fer ment and form gas. Because I had sour stomach-acid stomach-so long, ' 7 mouth had gotten sore. I could .ot sleep restfully, but would wake up every hour or two and would roll and toss. I was tired in the morning, and by mid-afternoon I was so tired out it seemIed I couldn't get through the day. I had lost all ambition, and I did not care. Seeing what Tanlac had done for my wife encouraged me to it began to brace me up right away. It did as much for me as it did for her. I slept right through the night, woke up rested, with a good appe tite, and was able to enjoy my meals. My food digested, and the gas, bloat ing and sour stomach disappeared. I felt like a new man, and the old tired, worn-out feeling went with the rest of my troubles." When Mr. Whitmore's stomach be came weak, his system probably be gan to clog with waste matter. What tie needed was a good system purifier, stomach tonic and reconstructive, and Tanlac did the work for him and he saw it do for his wife, and as it has done for countless thousands. Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Manning; H. W. Nettles, Jordan; Shaw & Plow den, New Zion; Farmers' Supply Co., Silver; D. C. Rhame, Summerton. Adv. NO SEAtCHING OF TRAVELERS Gill' Columbia, Fb. 11.--The story of the agreement by the free conference committee of the general assmbly on the item for "lawv enforcement," which really means a sum for the maintenance by Goevrnor Manning of a liqIuor constabulary is containedl in a letter written by the governor to his chief constable here todlay, calling a halt in the matter of the promis cuous searching of grips, which has b~een going on (luring the past sev eral mo(nths, to the inconvemience and dlisgust of' the .lpublic generally. Know ing that he was in a (desperate hole, the governor "camne across,"' and wrote his letter of today and furnish e i a copy to the fr~e --onfCerence 'noi' mitte(e. It wo < ( y then that the~ ectom it tee ag.~reed to lecommeI~nd the sum of $41,00J0 for "'lawv en forcement."' 1.11 until the time when the governor prac't ically came1) ini and lad~Ied for mercy, he was absolutely beaten, andl mercy was shown him only upon the conditions demandled, to wvhich hisI letter agrees. Twvo membhers of the Charleston delegation figured pr1om inently in the matter. They were Messrs. Seabrook and Young. There was a dleterminedl fight in the eneral assembly over the applropria tion of nmoney for the enforcement of thi pro~hibition law. Th'le house refused to give anything wvhatsoever, and the senate wvantedl to give $51,000. Th'e great objiection b~y the house to this fund wvas on the groundl, as contendled b~y some members of the house free conf'eence committee, that agents of the governor have been searching per .sonal bagage without warrant and suspecting responsible persons to un.. reasonable search. Mr. Seabroo., of Edisto, a member of the free con feren-:e? comiaittee ,and Mr. Y->ung, oif the Charleston delegation, pointed out to the governor where the trouble lay, andl after the governor~ had written the following letter, the som of $41, 000 was ~alIowed by the .onimitteo: "Columbia, F'ebruiary i1, 1918. "Mr. Tr. Ji. Sm y r, chief constable, Columbia, S. C.- Dear Sir: It having been intimated to me that the state constables have probably misunder stood former instructions in enforcing the prohibition law, I desire now to instruct you and the state in enforcing that they shall not search, or under take to search, the baggage of any trnveler, unless that traveler has been heretofore indIcted for selling intoxi cating liquor in contravention of law, or unless such person has a warrant describing the person or baggage to be searched, or unless the constable has certain knowledge that there is liquor In said baggage.--Very truly yours, "RICHARD I MANNING "Governor.
