Fairfax Harrison, President, South ern Railway Company, said to day: "During' the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910, Southern Railway Company carried nearly seventeen million passengers, among whom the^e were four fatal injuries; two in a rear end collision at Salisbury, N. C., on November 24, 1915, due to a human failure, the disgrace of which the management feels keen ly; one at Jamestown, N. C., on March 19, 1916, when a truck failed under a freight car passing a pas senger train; and one at Citico, Tenn., on May S, 1916, when a pas senger, in violation of the rules made for his safety, was leaning ont from the steps of a passenger car and was struck by the truss of a bridge. "It may be reported also that, despite the greatly increased volume of business done this past year as compared with the previous year, there was a decrease of fifteen fatal injuries to employees. While this record is far from perfection, the management is encouraged to be lieve that its earnest and organized effort to promote the safety of rail-1 way travel and to reduce the risk j of casualty in railroad employment1 is showing results."

"It would be a hard matter to estimate the good Tanlac has done me," said W. Day Barrett, 2613 Burroughs Street, one of the best known men in Savannah. Mr. Bar rett has been a city salesman in the grocery line for sixteen years, and his enthusiasm over Tanlac is no surprise to the many friends who knew of his previous condition of health and now realize what it has done for him. "I've been a little better than a nervous wreck for three years," he contiuued, and have been treated by no less than fifteen doctors right here in Savannah. I was forced to turn down better paying jobs, trav eling, because I was afraid to get away from home in this condition, and at times I was actually afraid to go out on the street I was so weak and snakey. "I suffered with headaches and neuralgia and my stomach was in bad condition all the time and it seemed like I couldn't get anything that would set mein order or enable me to digest my food. I couldn't eat anything that wouldn't sour on my stomach and give me pain or| make me miserable. I was thin and bad very little strength. In fact, the least little exertion would ex haust me and I was hardly equal to anything. I would have pains in my back and joints continually, and would be so nervous and exhausted at night I couldn't sleep at all. I j would often have to take stimu lants to enable me to keep on go ing. "One of the doctors who treated me suggested that I try Tanlac and see what it would do in my case,4 and besides that a close personal friend begged me to take it. So I started in on it about a month ago, and I couldn't tell you in a week how glad I am that I got it, for it's the very thing. I haven't taken but two bottles yet,( but I've actually gained several pounds in weight and it's simply picking me up and get ting me over every one of my troubles just as fast as it can. As.I said before, there is no estimating the good it has done me. It is a great medicine beyond all doubt and I am goiug to keep on taking it until there is no chance of these troubles coming back on me." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold exclusively br Penn & Hol stein, Edgefield; Johnston Drug Co., Johnston; G. W. Wise, Tren ton. Price: $1.00 per bottle straight. Adv. Parker-How is your rheumatism getting on? Ferry-It's getting along slowly, but I'm very hopeful now. Parker-I'm glad to hear that. Ferry-Yes, it commenced in my feet and has gradually worked up to ray shoulders. I'm in hopes that in about a week it will go off into mv hat. - Baltimore American.
