Death of Mr. Henry C Watson. After suffering for nearly a year, the life of Mr. Henry C. Watson came to a peaceful close Friday mi-rning at. the home of his mother, IV rs. Virginia Watson, in Johnston. Everything possible known to science and human skill was done to stay the malady that steadily sapped his strengt!) but there was no permanent response to the treat ment. Since Mr. Watson was first taken ill, nearly a year ago, there has been a steady decline, Iiis loved ones and friends were prepared for th? worst, having been assured some months ago th \t the end was only a matter of time. Mr. Watson had a host of friends in Edgefield. He came lo the coun ty-seat in 1894 to make his home, having accepted a position in the ofiice of cleric of court while the late John li. Hill filled this posi tion. He afterwards gave up this position to engage in the livery and livestock business. This he con ducted successfully up to the time he was seized with the fatal illness. Mr. Watson was not only very popular here but he numbered his friends by the hundreds in. all parts of the county. He descended fiom an old 3n honored family, one that has had a large part in making the history of Edgefield county in the past. His father,Mr. J. H. Wat son, served the county very faith fully as treasurer for two or more terms. Besides his mother, Mr. Watson leaves 7 sisters, Mrs. Luther Lott, of Americus, Ga., Mrs. O. W. Pad gett, Mrs. Fletcher Wright, Mrs. Shelton Sawyer and Miss May Wat son, of Johnston, and three broth ers. Mr. Edgar Watson of Ridge Spring, Mr. Mr, S. J. Watson, of Johnston, and Mr. L. G. Watson of Trenton. The funeral was conducted Satur day morning by Dr. E. Pendleton Jones and Rev. E. C. Bailey, and the interment took place in the Spann cemetery at Ward. For Supervisor. Another good man, .Mr. J. M. Bell, announces his candidacy this week for the tfiice of supervisor. Mr. Bell has served in this capacity once before and made the people a faithful publici servant. ITe is cau tious, conservative and thoroughly dependable in every particular, and if elected will give the people an economic administration. Mr. Bell has many friends in ali parts of the couuty.

Gains 30 Pounds After Suffering Six Years. MRS. ROBERTS, OF COLUM BIA, VAINLY TRIED MANY WAYS TO COMBAT ILLS UN DER TREATMENT. Affer Taking Two Bottles of Tanlac, She Was Strong Enough to Box With Her Son. Prompted hy a feeling of grati tude that apparently was deep and I sincere, M. A. Roberts, of 731 As sembly St., Columbia, St., Oolam-; bia, one of this, city's well known j Plumber*, told astory that will nec essarily make a deep impression, upon many, for it is a story of hu man suffering and of the means which brought a feeling of content ment, peace and "good will toward men." It is another one of the remarka ble Tanlac stori?s, and as mankind is heir to suffering. Mr. Robertas j statement almost assumes the im portance of a sermon, he said. " shall be glad to tell you how .Mrs. Roberts at last received her health and strength, and I shall tell you why she can now engage iii boxing matches with our 15-year old s^n instead of conducting herself as one broken in be il th. ''For a number of years Mrs. Roberts suffered acutely witiftttd ney troubles and chronic appendi citis, with their accompanying ills, she was generally run down in health, ond was forced to undergo an operation, which, however, gave her little relief. "She perhaps suffered equally as much with liver troubles and du ring an operation, a surgeon re moved several hundred small ?rall stones. He gave nie a bottle oop-t faining two hundred and thirty stones, which were scraped from her liver. Daring the past five years her health has been very un satisfactory. I spent practically ail I earned paying the bills for medical services for her. "She was so sore on her right side that she could not not even bear to touch it. Because all our efforts to find relief had failed, we became discouraged. We saw almost every day in the papers a statement, by some one had been greatly help ed by Tanlac, and she decided to give it. a trial. We certainly are thankful we did, and we are also thankful we were privileged to get it. "This is the reason Mrs. Roberts feels fine now, and from a weight of one hundred and seventy pounds, when she last weighed before taking Tanlac, she has increased ir. weight to more than two hundred pounds. She was forced to increase by four inches in thu waists of all her clothes. I have sent her on several occasions boxing with our 16-year old son, and she says she can now take as much punching on her right side as on the left, so completely was the soreness in that side re moved while she was taking Tanlac. "Mrs. Roberts has taken just two bottles of Tanlac, and is now taking her third bottle. She did not want to start the third bottle be cause she is gaining weight so rap idly, she says she does not need medicine now. Her recovery ha< been more than remaikable and I am more than glad to tell the pub lic of the great benefit it brought her. We certainly are strong boosters of Tanlac, for it has done more for Mrs. Roberts than all the other medicines. We have urged quite a number of our friends to take Tanlac for their troubles." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold exclusively bj Penn & Hof stein, Edgefield; Johnston Drug Co., Johnston; G. W. Wise, Tren ton. Price: sl.ut) per bottle straight. -Adv.
