I LEXINGTON MAN j MAKES 101 HAPPY R. H. CAUGHMAN, PROMINENT j CITIZEN, HELPING FRIENDS J IN UNIQUE WAY. The sDirit of helping1 others is abroad in the land, and this part of the world surely must be growing: better end healthier. A Lexington man desires to help some unfortunate brother or sister. He has already shown a number of people in Lexington how to better the state of their health by taking Tanlac, as investigation proved. Still, he wants to continue this good work. That is his civint? the interview pub lished below. This man, who may be described as a humanitarian, is R. H. Caujrhman, of Lexington, S. C., one of the well known citizens of that town, who is related to many prominent citizens of his and Richland county. "I had stomach trouble and indi gestion for a considerable number of months, and could hardly eat anything without suffering keenly soon oftorwarHs " said Mr. Cauehman, as the interview began. "I had intestinal trouble, too. My appetite failed, and my system began to show the strain it was under. I took a lot of medicine, but it did me no permanent good," he continued. "I had heard so much about Tanlac that I decided to give it a trial. The first few doses made a marked difference in my condition. I improved rapidly, and about the time my first bottle was taken I was troubled no longer with indigestion and its kindred ills. I can now eat anything I I care to. I have a great appetite. L Pork chops and cabbage and other I* heavy foods do not cause me pain. ** ? OflPA +Vt Q f T It was UDOUl IWU luunuia agu ui?> * stopped taking Tanlac, and I now have no symptoms of my former trouble. "I can heartily recommend Tanlac. I have told dozens about it, and those I have heard from have been helped. Tanlac is the best medicine I have ever taken. It is worth bragging on." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold exclusively by P. B. Speed. Abbeville; J. H. Bell & Son, Due West; E. A. Fuller & Co., McCormick; Cooley & Speer, Lowndesville. Price $1 per bottle straight.

BRYAN LIKELY TO FIGHT WILSON, HE INDICATES New York, Feb. 18.?"William Jennings Bryan?the man who made the nomination of Woodrow Wilson possible at Baltimore?will in all probability oppose the renomination of the President at the Democratic National Convention at St. Louis next June." * This is the impression made upon the mind of David Lawrence, Washington correspondent of a New York paper, after personal interviews and ?n exchange of letters with Mr.' Bryan. "I have not thought it wise," Mr.' Bryan wrote me recently, says Mr. Lawrence in his dispatch to The Post, "to say whether I would support the President if nominated? first, because until the President announces his candidacy no one has a right to solicit support for him, and it has seemed impertinent to me to have the question asked by some newspapers, as it has been, for I have never done anything to justify the suspicion that I would not support the ticket. My support of Parker, at least, ought to raise a presumption in favor of my regularity. As I am ~~^ ot->rl?ioinnfVnncr py ctsiw 11?; aau uwm** ?w?.....0 cept an opportunity to work for the reforms in which I am interested, I feel that I can take my own time, and in speaking on the subject be governed by my own judgment. , "I have never had an organization or corporation to help me in politics. I have simply advocated principles and policies, without waiting to see whether they were popular. The Lord does not require us to win. He simply requires us to do our duty. "I want to be free to do anything at any time which duty indicates should be done. I have no enemies to punish and no frierds I would be willing to reward at the expense of the party or the country." Mr. Bryan will not take issue with the President on technicalities, including the single term plank, but says "preparedness is really a Republican issue. It proceeds from the 'interests.' Democracy must stand united against it, and not try to curry favor with those elements which favor it. It is a part of the Republican determination to return to the protective tariff." PRICE AND BONNELLI'S MINSTRELS COMING Local theatregoers will note with interest the announcement that the Price 'and Bonnelli Greater New York Minstrels will appear at tne Grand Opera Eouse, Abbeville, on Thursday, February 24th, for one night only. A minstrel show is always a delight when well presented; this style of performance always seeming to please the majority of playgoers who are interested in good singing, dancing, musical and novelty acts. , ' The company of artists composing this combination has been selected from the best minstrel talent available and consists of thirty members, all white, who have made for this show a reputation as an organization of merit, known to present a good, clean performance, free from vulgarity. T5vi/>o onrl Rnn n pll t hflVP iUVOOl O JL iiv-v Mitv? . - , spared no expense in equipping their production with the most beautiful and costly of costuming and special scenery; the special electrical effects rendering the setting a scene of beauty and gorgeousness and a harmony of color. Many new features have been added this season; the latest songs, dances, ensemble singing and dancing acts, and musical hits being embraced in the programme. Good comedy is predominant; the comedians having the latest and best character and comic songs and jokes, have made this production prominently known as "The Big Laughing Show." The Greater New York Minstrels have an excellent band and orchestra, composed of picked musicians of artistic attainments, who will render a programme of music of the best class. This company has been highly spoken of by the press of this and other states as a meritorious organization deserving of public attention. There will be a grand parade by the band and entire company at noon; and a grand concert in front of the theatre at 7:30 P. M., free to the public. Don't miss it. MAKES CHANGES IN 2-QUART MEASURE Columbia, February 18.?Special: The free conference report on the two-quart-a-month bill struck out Section 10, which requires a man, if he carries whiskey in a grip, to paste a label on the outside stating how much whiskey the grip contains. The free conference also struck out the word "receive," as the original bill prohibited a man from giving his friend a drink. The section prohib| iting non-residents from getting whiskey while in this State was also stricken out. The bill as finally adopted allows each resident of the State to order two quarts of whiskey or five dozen bottles of beer per month. As soon as the bill is signed by the Governor it will become law. GEORGETOWN MAYOR dicacc cammnatf Columbia, February 18.?Special: That several prominent Blease leaders are urging Mayor Olin Sawyer, of Georgetown, to run for Governor, is being talked around the Legislature. The gossip is that these leaders believe they must get a man who has not heretofore made a race for any State office, and they consider Mayor Sawyer the one who is eligible. Dr. Sawyer was in the city to-day, and it is known that he saw several of the leaders while here. He declined to say anything at all on the matter for publication. Dr. Sawyer was formerly a member of the House from Georgetown and is now mayor of that city, having been elected a few months ago as a compromise candidate by both political factions in Georgetown. H. C. TILLMAN MADE EXPLICIT STATEMENT THAT HE WOULD BE IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE THIS SUMMER. The Anderson Intelligencer of the 19th inst., says: A letter from Henry C. Tillman to a prominent business man in Anderson yesterday brought the positive announcement that the former would be in the race for congress from this district in the approaching primary. The gentleman asked that his name be withheld from the public, but showed the letter to a representative of The Intelligencer, stating that the contents might be used. It has been rumored for some time that Mr. Tillman would be in the congressional race, and the fact that he has definitely decided to enter will be learned with interest. Henry C. Tillman is the son of United States Senator B. R. Tillman and is a successful attorney of Greenwood. He is a Clemson college man and is widely known throughout this district. He stated in the letter that he intended to make the race on his merits alone and that he ~ 1;..^ was going ill lu win. xic 10 a nvc anu energetic man, and the fact that he will be in the campaign will add much interest to both the voters and the other candidates. With Congressman Aiken offering for re-election, and Messrs. A. H. Dagnall of Anderson, John R. Horton of Belton and Henry C. Tillman of Greenwood in the race, and very probably Fred H. Dominick of Newberry, the congressional race will be a warm one in the approaching campaign. COTTON FUTURES MEASURE Washington, February 18.?The Lever cotton futures bill, a slightly amended duplicate of the measure declared unconstitutional by Federal Judge Hough, of New York, was ordered favorably reported by the House agricultural committee to-day. Its sponsors say it will result in an international standard of grades and contract. The measure as reported is an exact duplicate of the original Act, held invalid because as a revenue measure it did not originate in the House, with the exception that Section 11 hafe been amended to provide that foreign contract orders from exchanges which have not standards of grades shall bear a tax of 2 cents a pound and to permit hedging in foreign exchanges against actual shipment or consignment for sale of actual cotton, regardless of the character of Hie CUilUUCt UX LUC iUlClgu tA(.llon6vj in which the hedging is made. A LETTER. Cashiers, N. C., 17 FebV, 1916. Mr. Pat Roche, Abbeville, S. C., My dear old friend:?I see in the Press and Banner that you are a candidate for Mayor of Abbeville; and that there are three other candidates. Although I am no longer an Abbeville citizen," I take a deep interest in all that affects the dear old town; and I can't help writing to you and assuring ycu that I heartily hope you will win in this race. Not being acquainted with the other candidates, I have nothing to say against them; but he ought to be a mighty good man that should be preferred before Pat Roche and made Mayor of Abbeville. If I were now living in the old home, I would certainly vote for you and do all I could for you. Tf will crivp mp tTreat, nleasure to hear of your success. Yours sincerely, W. C. Benet. SCHMIDT PAYS DEATH PENALTY Ossining, N. Y., Feb. 18.?Striding boldly ahead of his attendants and stopping on the brink of death to exi press a last fondness for his mother, Hans Schmidt, the unfrocked New | York priest, convicted of the murder of Anna Amueller, was electrocuted at dawn today. He died protesting his innocence. In a statement issued before his death, Schmidt declared that the girl was killed by an illegal operation. He .shouted goodbye to the inmates of thp rtanth cell ns he marched to the death house. Ho died in eight minutes. Father Cashin. chaplain, is claiming; the body fcr the dead man's mother. I MORE POWER GIVEN TO TAX COMMISSION | I Columbia, Feb. 18.?Amendments to the tax commission bill adopted today by the house in connection with the bill by Senator Banks provide for the appointment of a board of review of seven members, one from each congressional district, the assessments of property initially by the authorities of each county and power of equalization of assessments as between individuals, firms and corporations. These amendments, it was said, strengthen the act creating the commission and are in conformity with the expressed wishes of the general assembly at its 1915 session. The bill after some discussion and an attempt to abolish the tax board was sent to a third reading. To-day is yours. God has given it to you. All your yesterdays He has taken back. All your Tomorrows are still in His hands.?Dr. Frank Crane. If experience cannot teach a man there is no hope for him. 1 x?ISKfl5J5J5J5)5/BHl5iSlSjBJ5/5JSJB/SISJBJpfSEj5IS!5.,5jtiSl2IuJi2J5j5ISf IH ADDON <1 J CALL ATTENTION 1 U- STOCK ARI 1} ALREADY WE 1 THE LATE I Spring Coats, Su i Crette de Chine 1 Middy Blouses, The Newest Things in White Gi QUEEN QUALITY SLIPPERS, better at the price. i I New Spring Hosiery for Ladies I IF YOU WANT Tl 1 MONEY, I HADDON^j^gj3JSJgJ2JSMSI3J3M3JSJ3.ri3ISIE3J3MSISM3MSMSMSJSMSJi ? + New i THIS ?
