U-La ll GOOD .CITIZENS I J. Benson Sharp and Daniel E. _ Newell, two good farmers of the p Santuc section, both men of the highest standing and integrity, called to see the editor Saturday. It has not been many years since we first knew these good men. We were then in our infancy and they were ^ronog men, just starting in life. Now both of them have passed the three* score milestone, and we haven't as * much hair as we had when a boy. ' Mr. Sharp and Mr. Newell married daughters of the late John Ul[ drick of, Long Cane township. They had a double wedding, the ceremony being performed by Rev.

Ten children came to bless, each home, nine of the Sharp children * growing to maturity and, seven of the children of Mr. Newell. All still reside in Abbeville County, we bej? lieve. They, like their fathers and J ' mothers are filling well their places K in the church and State. Mr. Sharp tells us that all of his children are married except two, Miss Lizzie, who is so well known in Abbeville, and a son, Carl, who is now in a business college in Colum Dia. rive daugnters nave raarriea prosperous farmers of the county. His sons are farmers too, except the son now in Columbia. In their old age he and his good wife find them: < selves at home alone, but they are blessed in their children and grandchildren. Of his children nine are living and have families of bright and interesting children, making a group of twenty-six grand-children. They are divided among the family as follows: ' Mrs. J. S. Simpson has ten children, Mrs. Strawhorn, eight; Mrs. Milford three; Mr. James Sharp, three, and John Sharp two. When all the family comes home for Christmas and Thanksgiving it is a proud day for the old folks. The Sharps are of good Presbyterian faith, some of the , daughters making a change for the ?!

Many hours will be saved in the time required >for the movement of through freight trains of the Southern Railway System through the ' inauguration of joint yard operation at points where separate yards previously were maintained by lines now included in the system. Chattanooga, Birmingham, Meridian, 1 New Orleans, and Oakdale, (Harriman Junction,) Tenn., are points affected and at each of them from two to three hours will be aaved on every through freight train. Business moving between the West and the South through the Louisville and Cincinnati gateways will be expedited by quicker handling at Oakdale and Chattanooga ana likewise the handling of business between the East and the Southwest will be improved by greater efficiency at Chattanooga, Ouuiui^uaui, xuvwu**.*. H..v. Orleans. This is one of the measures for greater operating efficiency adopted since the regrouping of the lines of the Southern Railway System. The saving of time is effected through the elimination of double handling and inspection which was necessary when each train had to move through two V yards. BEGUN MOT WATEK HMMTO IDF TOD POUT F1E1EL MAW Says glass of hot wstsr with phosphate before breakfast washes out cottons. r I I If you wake up with a bad taste, bad breath and tongue is coated; if your head is dull or aching; if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stomach, or you are bilious, constipated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin inside bathing. Drink before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and purify the entire alimentary tract. Do your inside bathing immediately upon arising in the morning to wash out of the system all tne previous day's poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach. / To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body impurities, get from your pharmacist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is inexpensive and allmost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant Just as soaD and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, headachy, or have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bathing before breakfast. They are assured they will become real cranks on the subject shortly.?Adv. ' ? - t?

"I believe Tanlac jus saved my daughter's life, for she was in an awful condition when she began tak ing it and the doctors nad said tney g had tried their last remedy," was | the highly interesting statement 1 made by Mr. O. T. Ferguson, of i Anderson, in he endorsement he gave 1 Tanlac on February 28th. "My | daughter suffered from a very bad I case of some trouble that was like | bloody diorrhea. She bled contin- ? ually for five months'despite all we could do, and she suffered agony, too. She was just bleeding to death, that is the only way I can describe it, and the loss of blood had sapped her strength until I had to life her and out of bed. "We had doctors attending her and they did all they could, and finally they said they had tried their | last remedy, and I could not say = that she was any better than when | they started treating her. We had | about given up hope and had be- g gun to fear that my only child | would never get well. "My mother-in-law had been urg- f ing me to try Tanlac for my daugh- 1 ter, ana at last 1 Dougnt a Dome, j as the doctors had said they had j done all they could. When the hot- I tie had been taken she was in pret- [ ty good condition generally and won- f derfully improved. She gained a | lot of strength, too. "My daughter trouble was the most awful thing I ever heard of, and the way Tanlac helped her was of the most wonderful things I ever saw or herad of. My daughter was put on the road back to strength and improved health by Tanlac, nad she soon was able to be up and doing light work around the house. She is in good health, and it is all due to the good Tanlac did her." "Tanlac got me in good shape, and I feel better now than I have for seven or eight years." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold exclusively by P. B. Speed, Abbeville; A. S. Cade, Bordeaux; J. T. Black, Calhoun Falls; J. H. Bell & Sons, Due West; Cooley & Speer, Lowndesville; R. M.

THE TENANT FARMER'S COLDEN OPPORTUNITY | With the benefits that will accrue frcm the rp ?&tion of the new Federal Farm Loan / ct, an J t ecause of the fact that good lands in the South are still relatively cheap, tenant farmers in the South have a golden opportunity to become home-owners. As never before, money in the form of long-time loans and at the lowest rates farmers have ever known is going to be available. Tenants in the North and West, where lands are valued at from $100 to $300 an acre, are finding it difficult indeed to buy and equip farms of their own, for the simple reason that it is a very difficult matter to net even 5 or 6 per cent interest on such a high valuation. Here in the South, on the other hand, with good lands available at from $10 to $50 an acre, the ambitious tenant has a far better opportunity. And now that the new rural credits system, with money at 5 or 6 per cent, is getting fairly under way, his opportunity is indeed a golden one. We do not expect the new system to be of much help to the tenant who has absolutely nothing. Even where local bankers or landowners are willing to accept a second mortgage from the purchaser, it is going to be necessary that he have at least something in the way of equipment. Bat with the present high prices for g all farm products, the hustling, 1 thrifty tenant should be able to . outfit himself in a comparatively short time. f Let us emphasize, ' however, the fact that the coming of cheap money ( for the farms of the South is going to tend to boost land values as probably nothing else has. With easier means of buying available, it is in- I evitable that more lands will be bought, that the demand will increase, and an increased demand al- j ways means higher prices. g ilaoies! look young, 1 darken gray hair 9 I ? 1 Us* tl?* Old-tim* Sago Tea and \ | Sulphur and Nobody Will t Know. j | Gray hair, however handsome, de- ^ notes advancing age.
