SOUTHERN PINK BEETLE Menace to Living line Tree* iif Not StAin|>e<l Gut. Since the location of Forest In flow One County Got (AmmI Ibuuls. From time Immemorial Lancas ter CouHys South Carolina, has borne an undesirable reputed ion as one of the bad road counties of the South. Being very hilly much work counted for litle, and that little liable to be destroyed by the®next freshet. Three years ago the road queft- tlot* was solved by the Legislature. A chain gang was established to build two miles of ideal road on * f* every highway ler-ding from the county seat. This benefits all of the people. A five mill tax was levied to construct an automobile boulevard through the county. Twenty miles of this has been completed. It is a s; nd clay road thirty feet wide, lias oely one slight hill, and not a bump on it.

John P. Grace as mayor with & plurality of 194 votes aver MaJ. T. T. Hyde and a major ity over both MaJ. Hyd« and Mr. Hughes of 8& votes. The support ers of Col Grace were generally elected on both the bogj-d of al dermen and school commissioners. Surprises came also In many of the other contests at the polls. The vote in the mayore-lty race which overshadowed all other contests led by a substantial excess over the mldermr.tlc ticket. Unquestionably the issue of th > campaign was the Consolidated com pany, which had been promlnet*Lly featured by Col. Grace r-nd his speakers. The attack which was made upon the administrations also served to attr&ct its opponents to Col. Grr-ce's Standard. HIS TROUBLE ! NOT OF HEART Real Facts In Regard To F. R. Huffman’s Illness. Relief Ob tained By Curing Hisv Stomach Ailment* Waynesvillc.N.C.—Mr. F. R. Huffman, of this city, says: “ I suffered dreadfully with what I thought was heart trouble, and tried various medicines in vain. After other remedies had failed, Thed- ford’s Click-Draught restored me to health. I would not feel safe without Black-Draught in the house. I consider it worth its weight in gold. It cured my indigestion, and by thi* means I was restored to health. I can not express my gratitude for its benefits.” Good health depends on the condition of your digestion. Poor digestion and good health do not go together. Thedford’s Black-Draught will thoroughly cleanse and set in order your digestive system. It has done this for others, during the past 70 years, and is today the most popular vegetable liver remedy on the market. Try it. Insist on Thedford’s. Price 25c.
