Deeply Grateful.
We are profoundly grateful for
the numerous very kind expressions
that have come to us since the last
issue of The Advertiser was pub
lished, which contained our personal
statement concerning the report as
to our receiving large sums Iroin
the government for services ren
dered. These expressions have been
?ade by many friends in person
and through letters. This extract
from a letter written by a business
mao in the county, who is not only
without a peer among his fellows
but whose irood opinion is sought
by many, is highly appreciated:
" I read your 'Personal Card' in
last week's paper, and am writing
a word to express to you my dis
gust and feeling of shame that any
ene would so far forget himself as
to suggest the idea that you 'are
gettingj*icli at the expense of the
government." I wish you would
pay no furtbei attention to such
talk. No good and true man be
lieves them. These rumors ?lo not
deserve the dignity of a passing no
tice." ,

Lines Upon Departure of Pop
u^.ar Edgefield Soldier.
There is a boy who's name is "Rim,"
A good old guy ia he.
But now lie's left and gone to war
To fight for liberty.
How hard it is to give him up,
For he's so dear to us.
But off to France he soon'frill go
And help settle all this fuss.
When we go hack to Edgefield,
And see where he has trod,
Our hearts are deeply sadder.
Still he's in the hands of Go:l,
When wo see the old Oil Mill,
The place where he lovod to work,
It makes our hearts rejoice and leap
To know nothing he would shirk.
"Rim" worked hard at the Mill
Many, many, hot summer days,
And by his will he worked his way.
Up into all our praise.
He's working now for Uncle Sam,
A good and worthy man
And in the name of God we give
This sacrifice for our homeland.
Now that he has left us.
And sad our hearts may be
We still remember dear Old "Rim"
And iraitatt! such a boy as he.
We trust the cruel war will soon end
At last the victory won,
"Rim" and all^ihe boys come bnck,
Then America will be proud of her
sons.

Valuable.
"There is no other medicine to
equal Tanlac. My daughter says so
apd so do I," was the unqualified
endorsement of Tanlac by Mrs. J.
C. Dixon, of 21 lu Main St., Equi
nox, Anderson. The daughter she
referred to is Mrs. J. C. Bailey.
"My daughter was in a terribly run
down condition, had no appetites
and she suffered a great deal with
her nerves. She suffered almost all
thc time with severe pains across
her back, and she frequently com
plained of indigestion.
"She had been in really bad
health for over a year when she be
gan taking Tanlac, but the medi
cine lugan to build her up right
away. The Tanlac relieved those
ills and strenuthenened her ip a
truly wonderful way. Her nerves
were strengthened, her appetite re
turned and she did not have trouble
willi her stomach. I am glad to
recommend Tanlac, for 1 think
lhere is no remedy to equal it."

Btirtou Wayne left the train
South Junction and started down I

He had been dozing when the conti

carried rive miles beyond bis static
The roadbed was stone ballast
and not easy to the feet. Way
glancing down the embankment, i
ticed that the right of way was bom

a traTcrsible dirt highway, Way

Ile observed that this strip of hu
extending for a mile or more, was
spongy soil not fit eveu for grnzir
except whore a little knoll present?
and upon this was a small house o
story high, square and compact? :
1 ideal of neatness and taste in (be cr

useless ground.
The house was painted freshly ai
it shone a* a result of the use of c

He was a middle aped man, erei

He wore white duck jumpers and ove

the exterior of the house he seenu
just to have stepped from a pu ii
pot.
"Cnn I have a drink of water?" h
gan Wayne, and paused, dazzled, as
all ho saw was part of some movin
picture. Another character in its el
semble Had appeared. This was
young girl of perhaps eighteen, a ti
paii in ber hand, headed for the wei
She was a fitting and harmonious pal
of the pleasant prospect. Trim, grad

she emphasised the wholesome aspee
of tho environment.
"Sit down, won't you?" invite
Wayne's host, and moved towards

"Why. yes," explained Wayne. "

My daughter, Cora, will drive to War
ham in about half an hour. She'
taken up drawing at the college there.
Jiu?t then the girl appeared with
glass pitcher filled with sparkling wei
water and a glass. Wayne arose an
bowed politely and the manner of th
girl, liki> that of the father, was friend
ly and pleasant.
She left them and Wayne beard he
chirrup to a horse grazing near i
small barn outside of which stood l
.?ingle seated gig. He glided into ?
general conversation with his host
David Bayle was his name.
"Ton see. I was a painter, in th<
city." narrated Rogers. "Not an ar
ti st-no. Cora seems tn have nil th<
genius in that direction. Scenes, most
ly, mine, and big landscape stuff foi
pleasure parks, band stages and al
that. We were cooped np and i
didn't give Cora a show. A slick fel
low carno along and traded me thi:
stretch of territory for my business
I took his word as to what you sei
here. He said the land was right a
a june;ion that was the railroad kc)
to the county and bound to be vr?ry val
nable in time. Well, he swindled us
that's all, and we've made the best ol
it I've got a little ready cash, bul
pilling for something to keep me busy
anti Cora is lonesome."
"How far do you own along thc
railroad?" Inquired Wayne.
"An even mile. There's Cora. Tf
yon won't mind the jolting, it'll bf
easier in the old pig than tramping it."
Sive was the pleasantest, brightest
littJe fairy Wayne liad ever met. this
clear-eyed, dimpled girl, and by the
time they reached Wadham, they were

Vess ?uiri vilized spot.
"It's fate?" soliloquized Wayne. That
same aftc-nrxm late, as he made his
way to tho place where Miss Dayle
put i*p tin* rig.
"It's love nt first sight!" he added,
as she appeared.
"? am going to ask you to drive me
back to your home." he told the young
girl. "You see. I have some business
witjh your fnthcr."
Thu" ?Traslness" Wayne had worked
up over long distance telephone. A
big id>a bad struck him.
"I represent, the largest billboard
j concern in the world," he told the
wondering father and daughter, *Vnd
I the minute I analyzed your layout
here I saw n bi? speculation. Your
I narrow strip ls ideal for putting up a
! whole raft of display signs. Junction,
hundreds of trains daily, gateway to
the city-see? You, Mr. Bayle, shall
superintend the painters, and you.
Miss Bayle, must sketch out some
artistic scenic effects to catch the eye.
1 have phoned my boase. Mr. Kayle,
and am ready to make a ten-year lease
of your patch of ground at ?.'?.OUO n
year. What do you say?"
"Well. I'd sell it outright for half
of that!" blurted out the honest old
fellow.
"Never mind that," responded
Wayne, "I want to see you get a fair
and square bargain. You can move
to town after that job Is done and live
as you want ti."
And !.y the time that came about.
