The Home Service committee is ' glad to be of service to you in this j way, just as we stand ready to help . or advise you in any matter which | may be troubling you because of the , absence of a man from your family. Mrs W E Brockinton, Ch'm Home Service Com. The big sale of real estate for Dr 1 D C Scott by Doner's American < Land Co of Athens, Ga. which was to have taken place here today was called off on account of the bad weather. The sale will take place at a date to be named later. Mr Dozier and a large staff of assistants, including a brass band, were here ready to pull off the sale had the weather been agieeable. Internal Revenue Collector D C Heyward urges that every citizen in this county make his or her income tax return before March 1 pext. Explanation by Mr. Barr. To whom it may concern: It has come to my attention that a report has been circulated through the county that a short time since I was selling sugar at an exorbitant price and that a revenue officer called at my place and closed my store. Although I dislike newspaper publicity this report has been so widely circulated that I have no other means of correcting same, ana out or justice i to myself I feel that I should make I a statement. This report is false in every respect. I never sold sugar at a greater price than 12 cents per pound and most of the time for less than this amount. So far as I know, a revenue officer has never cglled upon me. nor have I ever received any communication or instructions from one of them. I do not know where this report started, nor what motive prompted the person or persons who gave it out. I am in a position to prove my statements, and if anyone doubts same I would be glad to have bira call upon me for the proof. (Signed) W W Barr, Cooper, January 30. adv < I For Sale?

J D O'Bryan, Food Adm Wmsburg County. Sell Cotton Samples for Orphans. In October, 1917, the cotton buyers of Greelyyille agreed to save all samples drawn from bales. The agreement was observed strictly and the samples were sold several days ago for $127.20, which was donated in equal share to the Jenkins orphanage. Charleston, Connie Maxwell orphanage. Greenwood, Thornwell orphanage, Clinton, Freewill Baptist orphanage, in North Carolina, and Epworth orphanage, Columbia. Each of the above named institutions receiving $25.44 The buyers who saved their samples and made this donation possible were Fred Mishoe, P R Keels, J W Timmons, J E Richburg and E B Rhojus. The amounts given may be 3mall, but it helped to feed our orphans. Suppose the cotton buyers of the county pledge to do so in 1918, what would it do for the good of humanity? Let's try it. Those lyishing to do so should write Mr E B Rhodus, Greelyville, S C. The Baltimore & Charleston Steamship Co has applied to the Interstate Commerce Csmraission for permission to increase freight rates.

WAL1 J WIFE HAPPY OVER HIS BIG APPETITE j MRS ROGERS APPRECIATES HUSBAND'S COMPLIMENT TO HER COOKING. ONCE SUFFERED MUCH. Mrs Rogers Suffered Long Wfth Stomach Troubles, But Was Restored by Tanlac. My fine appetite certainly pleases my wife, for she is a good cook and likes to see me enjoy my meals." said H M Rogers, of 105 Budd St, Elmira, N Y, in a story for men, and women, too, who have a finicky appetite and cannot eat the fine, nourishing meals that are set before them. "For a while," Mr Rogers explained, "I couldn't eat any solid food. I was continually bothered with gas and bloating that made me feel very much as if I were going to burst. My breath would come short and I would have a stuffed up, suffocating feeling. It seemed to af lect my neari. .uy stomacn was so .sore I could hardly touch it. I kept doctoring and trying remedies, hut got worse instead of better. While I was suffering so I kept hearing of a new medicine, Tanlac. and commenced to take it. I didn't get any relief from the first bottle, and said to myself, 'Stung again,' but people told me to give it a fair trial, and so I kept on. In a little while then I began to improve. After my fourth bottle I felt fine. The old appetite came back; I did not have any more gas or bloating or suffocating spells, and my stomach and whole system were toned right up. "That is all true," declared Mrs T> 1 (1111(11 nu^CU nunucic* for him, and we are glad to tell our experience to everyone. It is no use to doubt this Tanlac; it does the work." Tanlac is the Master Medicine for ailments of stomach, liver and kidneys and catarrhal affections, which so often makes good after other medicines have failed. Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kingstree; Mallard Lumber Co, Greelyville; Farmers' Drug Co, Hemingway; S S Aronson, Lane; R P Hinnant, Suttons; W D Bryan, Bryan. I Insurance for Every Fighter. The Treasury department is making every effort to have every member of America's fighting forces take advantage of the Government-insurance plan, which Secretary McAdoo asserts to be "the most just and humane provision ever made by any nation for its soldiers and sailors." The purpose is rapidly being achieved, the insurance having passed the third billion mark ir. the total of policies written, and there are many military units in which every member has taken insurance. The automatic insurance provided by the law is only partial and limited protection, payable only to wife, child or widowed mother and ceases after February 12, 1918. It is important, therefore, not only to the soldiers and sailors of the country but to their families and dependents, that before that date they avail themselves of the full government protection, which can go as high as 810,000 and is payable to a wife, husband, child, grandchild, parent, brother, or sister. The law also provides for the reeducation and rehabilitation of the totally disabled and monthly com Jpensation to those disabled. ir Load THE Mules ightto Kingstree aaIa f??r ueieu tur aaic uy twell Co. iese mules.
