Capt. N. G. Evans. The race for the house in this county is now a three cornered one, the third candidate bein"; Capt. N. G. Evans who makes his formal an nouncement this week. Capt. Evans is not asking for a place about which he knows nothing, as he has in the past served as a member of the house of representatives four years from this county. He is fully capa ble of representing the people with credit to himself and with honor to the county. In due season he will swing around the county and meet the people face-to-face, letting them know what his platform is. This much of it we can announce in ad vance: he stands four square for Woodrow Wilson against Hughes, Roosevelt, et al. Edgefield Holds Silver Contest. Sunday afternoon at the Metho dist church the superintendent of the Anti-Narcotics department of the W. C. T LT., Mrs. VV. E. Lott and Mrs. M. P. Wells superintend ent ot' the medal contests, held a silver medal contest?n the cigarette question, this being the Sunday set apart by the W. C. T. U. for that subject. Rev. A. L. Gunter conducted the exercises and added greatly to the occasion by his kindly interest and sympathy in the subject. Misses Luri and Sophie Minis had charge of the music, and a very pretty duet was among the features of the program. The contestants were, Corrie Cheathanu Edward Peak, Helen Nicholson, John Wells', Eleanor SMims and Allen Edwards each se lection portraying the evils of the cigarette. Edwin Folk made a very practi cal and convincing talk on the evils of the cigarette at the close of the contest. The judges were Harold Norris, Ouid.i Pattison and Janice Morgan, and Harold Morris, in hehalf of the judges presented the silver medal to Corrie Cneatham who now wearB two silver medals, one for song and one for declamation.

The superintendent of the Cita del has just received a telegram from the adjutant general of the army stating that as a result of the in.spection of the Citadel in April it was again placed on the list of dis tinguished colleges by the war de partment. It also asked for the name of the cadet of the graduating class designated for the commission in the army. Col. Bond designated Cadet Francis Wilkerson Sheppard, captain of B company of Edgetield. The appointment is well deserved. Both Col. Bond, the superintendent of the Citadel, and Col. Garey, the array officer who is commandant, are much gratified over the telegram received. This is the ninth consecutive time the Citadel has been ou the list, and it is well understood that this lime it stands close to the top, if not at that envied position. Col. Garey said that he was especially gratified, because the Citadel was now com peting with all the great universi ties, such as Harvard and Prince ton, who have military departments, and who are striving to get OM the list, which is limited io ten institu tions.- -News and Courier.

The funeral services were conduct ed bi Rev. T. M. Galphin, pastor of the Baptist church at Seneca, who accompanied the family to Greenwood. This solemn occasion brought together a large concourse of relatives from this and other states, and while all were oppressed by sadness at having to give up the wise and beloved old patriarch of the familv, yet there was joy at see ing face to face near and dear rela tives who had not been seen in twenty-five to thirty years. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent from distant friends. These com pletely covered the fresh earth of the ijrave, so that beneath a canopy of Howers, this grand old soldier of the cross was left to sleep from his long life of arduous toil. I Mr. B. F.

Besides a goodly number of young people who are fully grown, there is an in creasing number coming in who range in age from six to sixteen.

Parksville's Corn Prizes The Parksville fair and welfare association determined to add to the wealth of tha district, thought that the best way to do so was to make the farmers all work a little harder and each become richer. So as an in ducement it has offered prizes for the biggest yield "of corn grown to the acre in the Parksville school district. If results are the same a9 when The Advertiser offered prizes a few years ago many more will benefit than the prize winners and be per manently stimulated to better farm ing and bigger barns. A first prize of ten dollars is to be given to the man or boy growing the most corn to the acre and a second prize to the one growing the second largest amount. Responsible and disinterested per sons will be appointed in the fall by the president of the association Mr. W. M. Robertson to witness the measuring of the land and of the corn. A prize of five dollars is offered for the best teu ears of corn exhib ited at the corn show to be held in tho fall.

Charleston Woman Would Be come Unconscious For Half a Day. fANLAC HELPED HER. After havinp been unable to work for four months on account, of ill health, during which period she suffered from chills, fever, indiges tion and that most repugnant and discomforting of all complaints of belching, which would continue for an hour at a time, Mrs. L. Boylet, well known housewife of No. 2 Blake street, Charleston, has added her name to the thousands who have found relief in the use of Tanlac. "I suffered from indigestion and chills and fever," states Mrs. Boy let. "My indigestion caused me terrible pains in ray stomach and chest, and I would sometimes belch for an hour at a time. I suffered something terrible at times. It seem ed that 1 could not digest anything I ate. 'T suffered from extreme head aches and was extremely nervous, jumping at the slightest noise. Af ter eating I would have a pretty full feeling in my stomach and 1 became very weak. These chills and lever would come on me very suddenly. I would l?e sitting, talk ing to my friends possibly, and se vere pains would start running up my limbs. In a few minutes they would spread to my back ami upper body. Then those terrible pains Let us sell ye McCormick, Dee Mowers. All ar We also carr] these mowers, come to us for STEW, would continue for hours. Chills would set in and I would goto bed. In a short while I wou'd become unconscious, remaining so for near ly half a day. I had these spells about twice a year and have had them for about four years. Some time my feet and ankles would swell to double normal size and sometimes a large blister wou'd form on my knees. This would first turn red and burn ju^t exactly like a red-hot iron beim* pressed to me. In a day or two it would turn into a real blister. When this blis ter was opened and the water let out it would turn into a very bad sore. I tell you, I suffered terri bly. I had not been to work for four months because of my poor health. Sometimes I would turn black in the face, and have been pronounced dead while in the grip of these spells. These two condi tions were gradually killing me. I do not believe that I would have lived very lung if I had not got re lief when I did.
