The Dispatch-News offers sincere
congratulations and all manner of
good wishes to Mr. Brian Bell, the
popular and highly efficient news ed-1,
itor of The State, upon his recent j?
marriage. Mr. Bell is one of the most j?
widely known young men in the State j;
and deserves the best that the world .
affords. '
EVERY MAN SHOULD BE
HIS OWN LAWYER, j
I
In buying or selling hogs it is | j
not necessry to put m a diii 01 saie
that a certain number of them
have twists in their tails. Law takes !
no cognizance of a hog's tail.
If you buy a horse do not permit 1
the seller to say in the bill of sale i
that he is an animal of steady habits. ]
The question may mean that he ha*
been steadily at work ever since the ]
day he was born in kicking, biting
and balking. ,
If you go out hunting with John
Smith and mistake him for a deer
and shoot him, all you have to do to
clear yourself in law is to prove
that you were not after his widow or
that he never kicked your dog.
If you hire a horse by the day or j
week and agree to provide feed you j
feed him on thistles, cornstalks, bur-1
docks or paving stones, unless other
wise especially mentioned, and if the
o, rner su.v vou his c?.se v. ill be
r!"?ov?n our of court. If your dog
bites a man and he sues you for damages
you have only to prove that your j
canine believed that the man intended
to kick him and that he acted in
self-defense. You can prove most
anything in such a case if you have a
bright, intelligent hired .girl to assist
you.
r i j
' '?*. .jr -j ' >
If an acquaintance of yours buys
a horse and afterward invites you
over to look at his purchase and you
discover wind-galls, spavins, blindness j
and two or three other ailments, he
cannot sue you for assault in case j
you call him a dmn fool.
In selling or purchasing land you
need not describe in the deed any 1
swamps above an acre In extent nor j
specify that here are more wood- j
chucks than trees growing about the !
land, nor is it necessary to state that ;
the only crop ever grown upon it
was a bountiful yield,
t .
2 If you have had a quarrel with a
neighbor and have gone around muttring
threats that you would do this
and that and he is found dead in the
barnyard, you are lible to arrest on
the charge of murder. Do not lose
your head, but with a little trouble I
you can prove that he was kicked j
over the heart by his cow while he
was milking her.
If you own a house and let and
there is a sidewalk in front of them
with a hole in it, and if a pedestrian
steps into that hole and breaks his
leg, you can or cannot be held for
damages. If you have a pull with the
alderman of your ward a case against
you will never be tried; if you don't
have a pull it will probably take your
last greenback to square up the affair.
If there is an apple tree on your
land, some of the limbs of which extend
over the line and bear fruit
which your neighbor claims}, don't
jump in and raise a row until youv'e
had time to thing it over.. You own
the tree all right, but the limbs have
trespassed on the other man's prop
eny. lour tree grew cue appies, l>ul ,
the air on his side helped to ripen j
them. He owns the air above his i
ground, just the same as you own \
the air above your ground, and if you
go to law about it the case may not j
be settled for ten years. The better !
way for you to do is to shoot any of j
his hens which come trespassing on j
your side of the line.
If you have a daughter and a I
young man is courting her and he i
leaves the gate open some night j
when he goes away from the house
and pigs or cows come and damage
your property, you can hold him le
?ally responsible for the reason
that he was so happy or so disconsolate
that he foreot all about the
[rate, but that will be no excuse before
His Honor, and it is ten chances
to one that he will never become
your son-in-law.
It- has been held in law that if
you are cut driving with a horse and
buggy and you invite a friend to
rid - wnh you that you are legally
reset nsible if the .terse runs away
an! breaks his r.e< k. To aviod le:al
' implications y .u must, before
re ,?os riding with you, make him ;
sign v | a per before a notary pul lie i
that he will not hold you legally re- '
sponsible for anything that may hap- j
oen.

he reaches you, the axe flies out of
your hand and hits him in the stomach,
you cannot be held legally responsible
for any indigestion he may
suffer from. On the contrary, if he
is a lean man and has come to pay
you a debt of S2, borrowed money,
cou are responsible for his doctor bill
as long as he is troubled.

'T was in an awful condition when ! 2
I began taking Tanlac and had been 2
for two years, but Tanlac got me 2
back in good health," was the em- ! j
phatic statement of MRS. D. J. BUR- ;
GIN, of Greer, S. C., in a statement j"
gave May 10th in endorsement of j1
Tanlac. "I was suffering- from the j *
after effects of malaria. My system j J
was out of order. I was weak and j J
run down and my face was as yellow 1 J]
as a pumpkin. My feet and legs felt j J
like they were dead or 'asleep, and J
tingled all the time. Really I had J
begun to wonder if I ever would re- J
gain my health and I didn't think a
I had a chance, for so much medicine a
had failed to help me. In fact, I ?
felt so badly that I often told my
family at night I hoped there would
be no stove in the house in the mom- a
ing so I would not have to cook J
breakfast. I had stomach trouble 3
very badly, too. 3
"Tanlac is the grandest thing in 3
the world for a condition like I was H
i: . and it soon got my stomach in ^
good shape, my face cleared up and 2
regained the right color and my appe *
I
tite soon came back. No matter how
I I
bad a headache I had, one dose of j J
Tanlac relieved it. Soon the Tanlac J
had me feeling fine an 1 strong, and J
after I had taken two bottles I was J
well and strong, j." took some Tanlac [
Tablets and they helped Tanlac ever j [
so much to get me well. These tab- [
lets are the best I ever took. \
"I am glad to recommend Tanlac [
for it is the first and. of course, the ,
only medicine that ever helped me."

If you shoulder a gun, you can
do no greater duty; but if you
stay at home remember that you
are personally responsible for the <j
success of the boys who go to the
front You can meet this obligation
through buying Liberty
War Bofids.
When you buy Liberty War
Bonds you are not giving but
lending your money to your
country. Every dollar you in|
vest is secured by the U. S.
Treasury gold, and bears interest
at the yearly rate of 3 1-2 per
cent, payable twice a year.
Liberty War Bonds may be
purchased in multiples of $50.00.
They will mature in 30 years and
are redeemable in 15 years. They
I are absolutely exempt from income
tax, and may be registered
m multiples of $100.00.
Should the Government, before
the end of the war, issue any
bonds at a higher rate of interest
than 3 1-2 per cent, Liberty War
Bonds may be exchanged for
them.
The last great government
bond issue sold for par in 1898
and 110 3-4 in 1900. So valuable
were these bonds that the Secretary
of the Treasury could secure
only one-tenth of them when he
I offered redemotion.
