The Home For Confederate > Soldiers. The editor of Tue Advertiser en joyed the privilege of spending the greater portion of a day at the Sol diers' Home recently as a member of the board of trustees of that institu tion. The other members of the board are Gen. Lyon, of Columbia, the chairman, Col. Welch, of Char leston, and Col. Brailsford, of Cam den, all of whom are Confederate vet erans themselves and typical repre sentatives of the Old South, whom to knov is to hold in the highest es teem and admiration. It is indeed a delightful privilege to be associated with these gentlemen. The Soldiers' Home is ideally lo cated on an eminence in the center of an eighteen-acre tract of land in the northeastern suburbs of Colum bia. The institution was established some 12 or 15 years ago as a haven of i*est, a real home for Confederate veterans who possess but little of this world's goods and who have no near relatives to care for them. The in stitution under the capable manage ment of Col. Lewis Wardlaw, him self a veteran of the sixties, is meet ing every need that was contemplated by its original founders. Col. Ward law is a son of old Edgefield, a broth er of the lamented Mrs. Dr. J. W. Hill, and Was reared in the house where Mr. Thomas H. Rainsford now resides. Although he left Edgefield soon after the close of th eCivil war, Col. Wardlaw has lost none of his loyalty or love for his native heath. It is indeed interesting to hear him relate his school-day, boyhood ex periences, his early life having been intimately associated with the older generation now living in Edgefield. The father of the writer and Col. Wardlaw were desk-mates when they attended the old Edgefield Academy. Col. Wardlaw is wonderfully well equipped for the duties that devolve upon him. In the first place he is a practical, successful business man, managing the executive or business end of the institution in a highly sat isfactory manner. After providing for every need and wish of the 58 old soldiers, representing practically every county in the state, he not only stays within the bounds of the appro priation made annually by the legis lature for the maintenance of the in stitution, but generally has a small . balance left at the close of the year. Every possible comfort, including wholesome food in great variety and abundance, can be found there for the enjoyment of the men who offer ed their lives for their country. Col. Wardlaw is uniformly kind to them, humors them, pets them, sympathires with them, and yet all the while he ?2 . firm and unyielding when occasion requires it for the best interests of the inmates of the home. He is .a well-rounded, large-hearted, sympa thizing friend and benefactor of near ly three score of men who have seen better days. One of them, Mr. E. B. Timmerman, is from the Meeting Street section of this county, than whom the ranks of the Confederate army did not contain a braver soldier. We could not help clasping Iiis hand just a bit tighter and hear tier than we did the rest of the group. In the person of his good wife, who moves about the home carrying warm-hearted sympathy and sunshine wherever she goes, Col. Wardlaw has an indispensable co-worker. Mrs. Wardlaw, she too being a typical rep resentative of the Old South, is an angel of mercy to these men to whom the shadows are rapidly lengthening in their declining years. The writer, together with the other members of the board, was the guest of Col. and Mrs. Wardlaw at dinner, consequent ly we were for a few short hours close and very pleasantly associated with them around their own fire side. Col. Wardlaw has another valua ble helper and co-worker in the per son of Sergt. E. J. Jones, who mar ried Miss Ellie Brooks, an Edgefield lady. Their only son, an officer in the American expeditionary forces, has been rendering splendid service ' overseas. Sergt. Jones is employed by Co!. Wardiaw as a general assis tant about the premises and he spends much of his time improving the lawns, cultivating the flowers and in other ways beautifying the place. Sergt. Jones is a helpful factor in making the institution a complete home. Great is the pity that more people over the state, especially veterans themselves, do not know more of the work that the Confederate home is doing for aged men who deserve all and even more than we can do for them. To sum up briefly, it ig a well-equipped and well-conducted home for men who are in great need of just such a place to spend life's sunset in. All honor to the man or men who conceived the idea of estab lishing the home and all honor to Col. Wardiaw for its faultless man agement, making it meet in every way the needs for which it was found ed. HELPED HER LIKE OTHERS TOLD HER Spantanburg Woman Makes Highly Interesting State ment. FELT LIKE BRICKS Says She Feels Fine Now and "Sure Can Praise Tanlac for Its Aid. "It is the best medicine I ever took for stomach trouble, nervousness and palpitation of the heart. I sure can praise and recommend it," declared Mrs. H. E. Lawter, of 116 Williams St., Spartanburg, in a statement she gave in endorsement of Tanlac, "The National Tonic." on February 1 1917. "I suffered from very bad cases of indigestion, nervousness and palpi tation of the heart," continued Mrs. Lawter. "I could hardly sleep, and would just roll ond tumble for hours, and my nerves were so badly disturb ed that I was kept miserable almost all the time. I could eat scarcely any thing. What I did eat felt like bricks in my stomach, and I had a kind of choking in my chest after meals. "My heart fluttered a great deal, and this, I think, was caused by the quantity of gas that formed on my stomach. "Finally, I decided to try Tanlac, as it had helped so many others who had troubles somewhat like mine, and now I am not bothered with stomach trouble, thanks to Tanlac. I foal a great deal better in every way, too. My nerves are much stronger and steadier, and I used to get so nervous that I jumped when anyone spoke to me. I'm certainly not that way now, as Tanlac has relieved those nervous troubles and I have not been bother ed a bit with palpitation since 1 took the first bottle of Tanlac. "I feel fine now in many ways and I sure can praise Tanlac and I give it credit for the change in my condi jtion . I am fifty-nine years old and it j takes a powerfully good med;cine to help anyone as old as I am as much as Tanlac has helped me." Edgefield, Penn and Holstein. Cold Spring, H. Ernest Quarle3.
