According: to the following dis patch from Columbia to the Green ville News the negro soldiers at Camp Jackson are making a good record for themselves: "One of the best indications thatj Columbia will not have any serious trouble with the negro soldiers at Camp Jackson, says a dispatch of the Greenville News, is that, al though there have been upwards of 3,000 negroes at the camp for the past several weeks, not a single one has been arrested by the military police. One negro soldier was ar rested by the civilian police on a charge of being drunk, and this is the only arrest of a negro soldier here to date. Col. Edwin Bell, commander of the military police, said Tuesday morning that the conduct of the negro soldiers have been most ex emplary. "The donning of the uni form of the army has not given them the 'big: head" as some persons expected it would," said Col. Bell. 'On the contrary I believe it has instilled u desire in them to make themselves worthy of the uniform they wear and of the responsibility it has placed upon them." Colored Fair Association. The colored fair which took place at the fair grounds on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week was a decided success. While the crowds were not so large on any one day as those of last year,! the average attendance on the four days measured up well to the expect ations cf the promoters of the enter prise. There was a good display of stock and horses, some driving around the arena most of this time. There were several carnival feat ures, which added to the interest of the fair, and yet there were no objectionable things attending them as is the case so often with carnivals. The exhibits were splendid. The farra products, some of which were arranged from individual, farms were displayed in a very creditable and artistic mannen The canned fruits and vegetables were varied and many. One notic able jar was tomatoes placed whole in the can and arranged very at tractively. Another pretty arrange ment was with Elberta peaches. The fancy work booth was un usually good, showing that many of the persons who did the work, were experts. Many quilts with splendid applique and intricate patterns were displayed. Altogether the management seem ed to think that the fair of 1917 was the best yet. Meeting of the Edgefield Chap ter U. D. C. Mrs. Jefferson Wright was hostess at a very interesting meeting of the li. D. C. Chapter last Tuesday af ternoon. . Mrs. E. P. Jones' the president, was in the chair, and presided with her usual dignity. The session opened with the Lord's prayer by the Chapter. In the absence of the the Secretary, Mrs. B. B. Jones was requested to read the minutes and take dawn the proceedings of the session. The first business on the program was a report from the committee on the Constitution and by-laws. Mrs. Woodson, Chairman of this com mittee read the State Constitution and by-laws and discussed the vari ous laws with the members, and spoke of changes to be made in one of them at the coming Convention. Mrs. Jones next gave out the com mittees tc serve for the coming year and it was decided to add to them an Education Committee whose du ty it shall be to help in raising money for our scholarship fund, and to try to secure new scholar ships. The naming of this commit tee is in the hands of the executive board. The matter of instructing our delegates as to the amounts of pledges to be given next year was now taken up, after which the meeting was turned over to the historian, Mrs. Wright, who had prepared a most interesting pro gram on Jefferson Davis. A paper was read by little Miss Elizabeth Lott on the life of Davis, which she had prepared to read before the Bald-Eagle-Chapter. Mrs. Marsh theu read a paper on the Men in the Ranks prepared by the historian, and Mrs. Wright told of events of the closing years of the war and read a very interesting paper of reminiscences given her by a rela tive. _ _ Look at the label on your paper.

Thank yon for the June 12th and June 27th Advertisers, and the four July numbers, all six received yes terday, and eagerly devoured, like six home letters. I got a letter from cousin Eliza a few days ago, and I wrote her we had been so long with out home mail that we were afraid the submarines had sunk a lot of it. A day or two later I got a good letter from Ed, and now othei mail has come from friends and loved ones, and it certainly gives joy to these Wayfarers. When the Edge field boys whose names I see in the paper, get to France they will know how it feels to be so far from home and loved ones; and how glad they will be to get the letters, the pa pers, any shape of news, from the home State and county and town! My heart goes out to them, and I wish I could write a personal letter to each and every soldier boy and sailor boy as he goes-some of them my own kinsmen, some my old neighbors, and the sons of my old neighbors. Whether they ever get back to dear old Edgefield or not-God grant that they may, though,-may they go with their confidence in God. who is able to keep them from falling, and to give them a place in the City that has been prepared for those who love him and trust in his Son. In a way I know what it is to be on the firing line. China, of late years, like Mexico, has been in a chronic state of revolution, and an other revolution ison now, whiie | the Parliament (Congress) illegally dissolved in Peking, is reassembling here in our city of Canton, and in our end of the city at that. But whatever comes, the last abortive i effort to put the emperor back on the throne shows that the Chinese are determined to have a republic. To get it, the people of this part of the country have gone throughsome fiery trials, and more than once I have been in the line of fire. But our God is good, and we are safe till our time comes-may this thought comfort many an Edgefield boy's father ard mother during the trying days ahead of us. How we shall watch the papers for oews from the front, especially for news of our own Edgefield boys! And now we shall follow with our prayers, from this battle front, those who go to the other battle fronts! In a sense, all battles for the right are one-and will be won! Our best love to you and your dear wife and boys and girls and to the love ones, on both sides of the house, and to all the old friends in Edgefield county. I am writing at once to let you know the papers have at last reached us. Your old friend and school mate, John Lake. Hays Slie Thinks World of Tanlac, RECOMMENDS IT AS A GENERAL TONIC AND STOMACH REMEDY, PROVED VALUE TO HER. SAYS "TANLAC DID MAKE A GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN MY CONDI TION." "I just the world of Tanlac as a general touic and stomach remedy, am glad to recommend it," declared Miss Lilla Shelton of No. ?, Saco St., Greenville, in a statement. 'T took Tanlac for a generally run down condition and chronic ap pendicitis. I had been in bad health about two years and I suf fered a great deal with indigestion. I was as nervous as could be. I never ate anything at all hardly. In fact, I ate just like a bird-a little ata time. I suffered awfully with headaches, too. "The Tanlac greatly improved my condition in a very short time It made me sleep better than I had slept in two years, for it quieted my nerves. The Tanlac pave me a good appetite, too. I began to sleep all night long, and ray whole system was built up and strength ened. The medicine certainly did make a great improvement in my condition.

Smith, of Rome, Ga., Tells of Bad Stomach Condition and What Vitona Did For Him Home folks-neighbors are most frequently the people who know and ?who are willing to tell the world about the benefits derived from a medicine originated in their midst. When they speak in the highest praise of the tremendous help a medicine is to them, declaring they would not be without it in their home under any circumstances, and do this without any pecuniary re ward, you can always place absolute dependence upon such statements. Here, for instance, is a statement from Norris N. Smith. He is a well known Real Estate man of Rome, Georgia, from right near which city the mineril is found from which Vitona is made. Here is what Mr. Smith says: "For sometime I had suffered from a general run-down condition. I had a bad stomach trouble of some kind, and could eat and retain but little solid food. Frequently after a meal, even though I would eat v?ry lightly, I would be sick on the stomach, and in a short time would lose what I had eaten. I began us ing Vitona because I had heard of its good effects, and I was told that it would give me relief. Within one week's time, after taking as directed, I began to show a steady improve ment, and in a short time was ab solutely cured. I feel entirely well now, and contribute my condition to Vitona. I would not be without it in my house under any circum stances." Not only in cases similar lo Mr. Smith's, but in all cases of stomach, kidney, liver, catarrhal trouble, Vitona goes straight to the seat of affection. It is a strong and ideal combatant where one is troubled with sleepiness after meals, flushing of the face, extreme lassitude, billiousness, dizzi ness, sick headache, acidity of the stomach, heart-burn, offensive breath, anemia, loss of weight and muscular power, decrease of vitality or lowering of resistance to in fectious diseases, disturbances of the eye, dyspepsia, indigestion, gastritis, and many forms of catarrh, ear affections and allied ailments. Vitona is the new medical dis covery that has made such a wonder ful record in sales throughout South Carolina, though introduced into this state only a few weeks ago. Vitona is sold by Notice of Administrator's Sale. By Virtue of an Order of the Pro bate Court of Edgefield County, I will sell the personal property be longing to the estate of Mrs. Isabella A.
