"ONGRESS. ment o Chesterfield Coun ty~ papers on/county sentimnen1 shown at the tconvention: * The Chesterfield County Con vention was notable for its repre senta'tive attendance, being comn pbsed of leading men from prac tically every -club in the county. It'.was even more notable for its unity and enthusiasm. especially ia its action endorsing the candi * dacy of Hon. W. F. Stevenson for Congress. Partisan lines which cut deeply mnto his vote in this county two years ago have been obliterated and a united county is behind him, and the en thusiasm shown on the subject on last Mvonday warrants the prediction that his majority in this county will be the greatest ever given a candidate here who had an opponent."

The first forward ste) for a tter and cleaner town is to get I of the flies. Let us all work together for e down fal! of the deadly. rm laden fly which causes ,000 baby deaths annually. Have you sge the wonderful trap which is on exhibition at r. J. L. Bryson's residence? It worth going around to see, for has already proved its value as fly trap. It is made of a bar 4, both heads of which are re oved. A yaid wide strip of ire screen is cut to form a cone hose base covers the end of the ,rrel hoop, the apex being about i inch in diameter. This is set to barrel. apex up. Next the )p hoop is removed and fitted ver with the screen, forming a d snugly fitted, but readily amoved, for emptying out les. The barrel is then set upon board platform, with two inch locks to raise edges to admit ies. Bait; sweetened water, rown sugar, a fish head, any ing not stick enough to hold ie flies, is placed on the plat )rm. Flies swarm to the bait, nd after feeding or when dis irbed will attempt to escape by ising to the light, when they ass through small hole in top of creen cone and are trapped. As e presence of the flies in the arrel attracts others, it is not mptied until a day's quantity re caught, when they are all illed by pouring boiling water ver them, and they are dumped ut by removing the lid and in erting the barrel. Of all the iultitude of patented and com iercial fly killers placed on the iarket. in the last dozen years, his is by far the most effective, nd they are so inexpensive. The letter Winnsboro club is trying ard to have a fly-free town, and 7e ask that you make an inspec ion of this fly trap, and be con inced that it is what we need. 'ifty or more of them scattered round town at the back doors of e grocery stores and at the tables, would make our town a mch more comfortable place in rhich to live. Think it over. stre 1 ler? ihat is the use of havin, n bundence of water if we can't ave some of it on the dusty treets.

TANLACS RECORD SUPREME Should Value Be Lacking thE General Public Long Ago Would Have Lost Faith in Tanlac. TANLACIS SOIJESS IS DUE T iER1 This is an age of advertising. and everyone is familiar with th( popular saying. "It pays to ad vertise." Advertising is a business force So potent is the charm cast b; its spell it has been known t< pertorm marvelous feats and t< accomplish phenominal results. It cannot be truly said how ever, that everyone who adver tises su,:ceeds for unless ful value underlays the article adver tised the advertising would ulti mately fall of its own weight. Ii this connection we must not for get the words of the immorta Lincoln who said "You can foc some of the people all the time you can fool all of the peopli some of the time, but you canno fool all of the people all of thi time," so if there is not behin every advertisement a dollars an cents value to the article advei tised no amount of advertisin( wlll stimulate the sale on such ai article beyond a certain point This applies to every line of busi ness and the modern busines man or firm can only succee( through honest advertising an< fair dealing. One of the most successful ad vertisers in America today is L T. Cooper. the manufacturer o the medicine, Tanlac. On on occasion Mr. Cooper said, "Ho air will put a balloon up, but i won't keep it there." When offered Tanlac to the world some thing over a year ago I did s( with the firm conviction that was offering to the people,th best and purest proda6t-of it kind on the Americar-market to day and I did no I 'sitate to ex -end'ast sums for advertising because'K Krew the more th< people kne' about it the mor< they would buy it. The success of the preparatiot was immediate, and the people everywhere were quick to recog: nizeits tenuine merit and woe derful curative powers. I have never claimed Tanlac to be "cure all"~ or that it would per form unheard of wonders but ] stated facts-stated them in 2 straight-forward and businese likegvay and in a manner that has commanded confidence in the conservative claims set forth. Underlying these claims has been real value not from a dol lars and cents point alone. but frpm health as well. The phe nominal success the preparatiion has now achieved is familiar tC everyone. No matter where you go Tanlac is a household word. It has brought a new romance tc the modern business worid. It is a story of an acceptance and appreciation of merit never be. fore obtained by a proprietary medicine. Conservative busi ness men to whom the actual figures of the production of Tan. la have been presented, have scouted them untii the prooff was shown. The production of Tanlac now stands at the rate of almost 5, 000,0000 bottles per year, or to be more ccrrect 4, 8000, 000. The sale of 1,000,000 bottles during the first nine nmonths probably exceeded any record ever before made by a proprietary medicine. Through the Atlanta office alone approximately 400.000 bot ties have been sold and distribut ed since December 1st, and the South alone now requires over 1,000,000 battles per year. These enormous sales mean but ne thing and that is merit. One bottle is sold in a neighborhood through advertising, but ten more are sold after the first bot te produces results. People are always willing to tell about their ailments, but they are more than willing to till otters of any medi :ine that helps them. It is some thing they can't keep to them elves, because the impulse to smpathize \with fellow sufferers and want to; help thenm is one of the strongest as wvell as one of the biggest thmngs in human na Tanlae, the master medicine, s sold by Obear Drug Co., Xinnsboro: Ridgeway Drug Co., Ridgeway: T.
