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.

Cut Your Store Bill

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
. in spite of generally short crops and reduced
wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.

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.

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.

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
