THE COUNTY RECORD.
Taxpayers, Get Busy,
A communication signed "Taxpayer"
appears in this issue of The
Record under the heading "What
Say You, Citizens?" Its writer invites
an expression of public opin- j
ion on questions that are of vital
concern to every taxpayer in Williamsburg
county and this newspaper
would be glad to publish
their views on any question that is
of such paramount importance to
the prosperity of the county as her
public schools and public roads.
We believe that these two great departments
should undergo a change,
of course, for the letter, and as it
will require legislative acts to bring
about any change in the school or
road system of the county, now is
the time for taxpayers in every comt
munity to get their heads together
and formulate some plan of improvement
which they can submit
to the county delegation before it
meets in regular session early in
v January.
Stop all your grumbling about
the miserable condition of the roads
you have to travel over and get
down to thinking out some scheme
whereby they may be improved.
Talk the matter over with your community
neighbors, discuss ways and
means with them and then hold a
general mass meeting of taxpayers
to formulate and put into tangible
shape plans for your delegation to
work out in thejGeneral Assembly.
A general mass meeting of the
county's taxpayers at the county
court house for the discussion of
such public questions as road and
school improvement, law enforce
ment, etc, might, it seems to us, be
held once a year. Then if it were
found that there are defects in the
law governing these questions the
matter could be at once brought to
the attention of the county delegation
and an effort made to remedy
it at the next meeting of the General
Assembly.

How would you like to sit down
at your desk, run over your accounts,
and absorb the knowledge
that anywhere from one to five hundred
people were indebted to you in
sums varying from 50 cents to 35.00?
And how would you like to meet
those good people day by day with
out their ever thinking of offering
you the small amount due you?
And how would you like to see
these same good people paying their
other bills promptly month by
month and again forgetting yours?
And wouldn't you just revel in
the knoweledge that all of these

I desire to call to public attention
few matters in which I believe
ur people are interested, and to reuest
that you invite, if you think it
rorth while, a general discussion of
lans or ideas suggestive of reforms

of our county's government.
The General Assembly will soon
Dnvene, and the legislative delegaon
will have an opportunity to enct
into law such measures as would
:>rrect the defects, if there be de
sets, in our present system. It is
ardly fair to expect the delegation

evelop and formulate the best praccal
and economic plan of governlent
to produce ideal results in
ducation, road building and law ensreement
and the affairs in general

reat for any individual to perform,
nless one could be found possessing

MRS. P. D. CROSS OF COLUMBIA
TELLS REMARKABLE STORY OF
FINDING QUICK CURE IN TANLAC
Under medical treatment for
months at a Columbia hospital and
at her home, without securing relief,
but gradually declining in health,
Mrs P D Cross, who lives at 1812
Sumter St, Columbia, on one of the
city's best residence streets, gives a
remarkable statement telling how
she has been relieved of her physical
ills and restored to nearly normal
health for a woman in her sixties in
just two weeks' time by one and a
half bottles of Tanlac, the premier
preparation.

i spent her life. She has been living
j at her present home for 34 years.
Her husband, who died a year ago,
was very well known in Columbia.
"Scarcely more than two weeks
ago I could hardly walk across my
room. I was so weak," said Mrs
Cross. "I suffered intensely with
indigestion and pains across my
chest after eating. My food caused
gas to form on my stomach and I
was generally debilitated. When I
awaked in the morning my bones
ached and I felt tired all over. I
could not sleep and I became so ill I
had absolutely no appetite,
i "I did not leave the house from
: May until the middle of October
i without my son accompanying me
and assisting me. Then we only
walked around the block for a little
exercise. I had to hire all my housework
done, and finally I had to go r
to a hospital for treatment. There I
became worse, and left so weak I
could not walk alone. My nerves
were shattered.
"My son read an advertisement
about Tanlac, and I decided to try
this medicine. I bought my first

me almost a new woman. My appetite
became enormous, and my
strength rapidly returned. 1 have
taken almost two bottles, and I feel
fine in every respect.
"I can now eat anything, even
cabbage, and suffer no pains afterwards.
I have discharged my household
help. Though I could hardly
eat anything two weeks ago. I now
awake at nights and must get something
to eat. I get up early in the
mornings.feeling fine and refreshed.
I take long walks by myself and do
not tire easily, so rapidly have I regained
my strength. I am just so
happy, for now I ?eem on the road
to complete recovery."
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold at Kingstree Drug Co. Price:
$1 per bottle, or six bottle for $5.
