AN EX-NEWBERRIAN
SPREADING IN WICHITA
The Burkburnett Star of Wichita
county, Texas, in its issue of January
3 has a sketch and picture of Capt.
W. S. Langford of Wichita Falls. If
we had the cut it would be used here.
we xaKe pleasure iu repruuuuuiK me
remarks of The Star for the benefit of
Capt. Langford's friends in Newberry.
One of the successful business men
of this county is W. S. Langford of
Wichita Palls, a good likeness of
whom accompanies this sketch.
Mr. Langford was born in Newberry,
South Carolina. He is a graduate
of the South Carolina Military Academy
of Charleston. During the war
nrifh Cnoin MV T .cj n trfnrrl was r?nm
missioned captain of Company B,
First South Carolina Infantry. At the
close of hostilities he was mustered
out and given a commission in the
U. S. Regular Army, but declined it
and was commissioned captain in the
South Caroling Militia, which position
he held three years. He then entered
the wholesale fruit and produce1 busii
i?e?s.
While on a visit to Wichita Falls a
few years ago he found that Texas
girls are the cream of the earth, and
as a result,* married the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Kemp, of that
City, returning 10 souin Carolina,
l)efore a year was up he decided to
move to Texas, and in June, 1916,
moved to Wichita Falls and bought
the Motor Supply Company from J.
R. McMullen, with the agency of the
Ford automobiles. This business unAAfiwA

]y developed that he bought one of the
Burkburnett garages,* which he named
the Caro Garage. He then bought one
of the best corners on Main street in
Electra, and built a handsome brick
building, which he named the Lina
Garage. The names Caro and Lina
were taken from the name of his home
State. In
Wichita Palls the Motor Supply
is located at tne corner 01 sixm ana
Indiana avenue, in a handsome brick
structure specially built for the business
by Mr. Langford, it being 100 feet
front by 150 feet deep, aad completely
equipped for the huge business which
as distributor of the Ford cars and
supplies, he has firmly established.
The Electra establishment is 75 feet
front by 140 feet depth, and is the last
^thing in modern garages. Plans had
been made for the erection of a garage
of similar size in Burkburnett when
the building restrictions were clamped
down by the War Board, but now that
the lid has been lifted, Mr. Langford
will, as soon.>as ^conditions have setThe

equipped with repair shops, and
carries a full stock of Ford supplies
and automobile supplies and accessori
ies. The Wichita Falls and Electra
1 garages are worth a special visit by
| owners of motor cars.
! Capt. Langford is interested in oil.
! as many of the successful business
men of Wichita Falls. In Burkburnett
he has substantial stock interests in
Hammond No. 2, Green River and the
Heinie-Myers Oil Companies, and owns
one-fourth interest in the Big 4 on the
C. Birk tract. He has been very successful
in lease investments, from
which he has realized substantial profits.
In the Iowa Park section Mr.
i Langford secured something like 1,200
acres, part of which he has recently
sold, and from which he received
large returns on the investment.

Tribute to R. T. C. Hunter.
Again we mourn. Our venerable
and beloved brother, Robert Timothy
Carmichael Hunter, Past Master, has
been cut down by the all devouring
scythe of time and gathered into the
lanri where our fathers have eabp be
fore us. When the summons came to
him in the seventy-third year of his
life he was enjoying the happy reflections
of a well spent life and died in
the hope of a glorious immortality.
Brother Hunter lived a useful life and
fully illustrated the teachings and
most excellent tenents of our institution.
He was an upright man of spotless
integrity, and served his day and
generation raitnruuy m an tne relations
of life. He was tendier, considerate
and true in his domestic relations.
He was patriotic and loyal to
his State. At the age of sixteen he entered
that great army of Northern Virginia
and served in that command
throughout the great struggle in
which it was engaged except for the
period of six months when he was a
prisoner. Returning home, he engaged
in agricultural pursuits, and took
an active interest in the affairs of his
State and county. He was called to
serve his county in tfce house of representatives
in the sessions of 1888
land 1889 where his good judgment

he served with entire acceptability as j

his religious affiliation he was a Lutheran

Evangelical Lutheran church at Prosperity,
S. C. j
, Early in life he became a Mason |
and at the time of his death had been i
a Mason longer than any other' mem- i

his attention to the affairs of the
lodge, and was a past master. He was j
at all times serviceable to the craft'
and was held in the highest esteem
and affection of his brethren.

2. That in the death of our brother

fidelity to, and exemplification of, the
teachings of Masonry?one who judg-l

3. That his church has lost a use-1

true to his profession of his faith.

TWENTY YEARS OF
STOMACH TROUBLE.
i
An Unenviable Record of Misery Duej
to Modern Plague and Health
Destroyer.
Imagine suffering for 20 years witl?
stomach trouble. Imagine not bein^
able to enjoy a single meal in all thai
time. Wouldn't you be happy if afte~
all these years you finally discovered
a medicine - that relieved your, troubles?
Wouldn't you just be ready -.o
offer up a prayer of thanksgiving and
joy to heaven for the new-found
health?
T.his, in substance, has been the remarkable
experience of a lady wel!
known right here in this section. Here 1
are some of the things she says in j
effect in her signed statement:
| "For 20 years I have been trouble! |
i with dyspepsia. I coulJd not eat or |
enjoy a single meal. Ifsually threw!
I up breakfast. I was terribly consti-1
pated and my liver was all out of or- j
; dert. Hedaches added to ray suffering
and I was at a loss to know what
, to do.
! "A friend recently called my atten!
tion to the newspaper stories about j
the new Herb medicine Dreco, ana i;
i decided to try it and see if perhaps!
| this medicine could bring me relief.!
It did, I have taken two bottles of
Dreco and already I am able to eat
almost anything without pains afterwards.
I think it ,1s wonderful the(
way this medicine works on the stom-1
' ach, liver and bowels. I am now
I feeling fine and am most grateful for
| what Dreco has done for me."
(Signed) Mrs. Fannie Oreer
Poe Mills, S. C.j
Note:?Dreco is now dispensed by
modern drug stores everywhere. It
is inexpensive, easy to get and pleasant
to take. It is particularly rec,
ommended in Newberry by Gilder &
j Weeks. j

WHY SUFFER SO? j
Why suffer from a bad back, freer J
sharp, shooting twinges, headaches ^
dizziness and distressing urinary ills?* 1
Newberry people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pil's. Could you ask for j
stronger proof of merit? A
Mrs. S. Thompson, 512 Wright i
Newberry, says: "Too much heavy Sv0
work and lifting brought on a baft
case of kidney trouble and brokedown
my health several years ago.
When I tried to straighten up after
! bent over, a pain went through me
and almost took away my breath. 1" yd
got dizzy occasionally and would a!- ^
mo3t fall to the floor. Everything
would get black before my eyes and ^
1 could hardly stand. Nervous hea^- fl
aches bothered me and I was so~tIr?^^B
mornings, l could hardly go. All thi^^H
together with my kidneys not acting^^fl
as they should, kept me in pretty badHM
shape. Hearing of Doan's Kidney^HE
1 Pills at the time, I got a supply at ^
Gilder and Weeks Co.'s Drug Store,
and they relieved mfe from the first:
I kept taking them until I was
tirely rid of the trouble."
