It is reported in the daily press this morning that American troops have crossed the Mexican boundary and are now in pursuit of that notorious bandit, Villa, and his gray neck followers. The American people can rest assured that our soldi ere under General Pershing are going to do their duty well, provided they are not held under too great a . restraint by department orders. It is to be hoped also by the long suffering public that American troops will not be withdrawn until Mexico has been freed of this fiendish cuss ana his cian. .The delay in sending troops after Villa is lamentable, inasmuch as it , has given him an opportunity to make his get-away unmolested, and at this late day it's hard to tell where he is hiding, however, we may find consolation in the old adage that it's better late than never. And now that the movement against the outlaws has started we hope the annihilation process will soon begin and continue until every bandit in 1 Mexico shall have bit the dust.

Columbia, March 14:?Resolutions R declaring the Anti-Compact act in- re imical to the farming and business at interests of the State, and urging meetings of all commercial and ly business bodies and farmers with sc legislative delegations in each coun- tl ty, to consider the situation and to tl suggest some remedy, and advising E that the permanent organization fc confer with lawyers relative to a ai proposed testing of the constitution- f< ality of the act, were adopted by p< representative business men from tl twenty-four counties in the State at a conference in the Columbia Cham- J ber of Commerce rooms this after- ai noon. The resolutions were adopted after c( several hours of discussion by busi- ti ness men who had gathered to con- tl sider the situation brought about by the withdrawal of fire insurance companies from business in South ^ Carolina. Strenuous objection to the resolutions was voiced by Representative R B Belser, of Sumter, who was active in the passage of the Ci anti-cpmpact bill. He fought alone & and single-handed, but was over- m whelmed,the resolutions being adopt- bi ed with only his dissenting vote. w: ? Hi Mucli Booze Confiscated.

One of His Greatest Desires Obtained After Ten-Year Effort. Tan 1?a Dnminkl Dnlinf iau uiuuijui nonet. Seldom do men of prominence in business and commercial life willingly express their indebtedness to a proprietary medicine, but when a preparation attains that singular purity, uniformity and efficiency that is shown by Tanlac, endorsements from the best known citizens may be considered as fully measuring up to the good that is being accomplished. Ben F Newman, the big, jovial Southern railway freight agent at Columbia, a man whose present high position assures he ha? been true to every trust reposed in him, is one of the widely known men of Columbia who has given praise to Tanlac. Mr Newman has a long and excellent record in the service of the Southern. He held the important position of freight agent at Columbus, Ga, before he was promoted to the position he now holds. With the men under his supervision, he is a prime favorite, because of his fine business ability, excellent judgment and open hearted disposition. When he was interviewed at his office, 800 Gervais St, regarding the relief Tanlac had brought him, Mr Newman said: "I am delighted with Tanlac. It has brought me the relief I have sought for years. "Daring the past eight or ten years my system has been in such a run down condition that I was peculiarly liable to take cold. These colds would sometimes continue two or three weeks and would be quickly followed by another. Cold frequently would settle in my limbs, back and shoulders, causing me intense pain of a neuralgic nature. During several winters I have worn plasters on my back almost all the time. At times I was forced to arise at night and bathe my limbs in a strong liniment to relieve the ache. Even in the summer months 'I was greatly troubled with colds, which my system seemed unable to throw off. When I had a cold I felt miserable and as if I were about to fall to pieces. "I began taking Tanlac and took five bottles before I stopped. Now I enjoy a freedom from colds I have not known in years. Before I took Tanlac I would catch a fresh cold every pay day, whenever I went into the cold pay car, and would feel terribly for a week or more. Last week when I paid off employees no ill effects came from the exposure and the day was very cold. "For years I was peculiarly affect ed on my right side, where there was a lump which world swell up and become sore and painful when I would take cold. I could not sleep upon that side, but the lump disappeared while I was taking Tanlac and I can now rest well on that side. Indeed I feel splendid in every way. During the past five years I had to stay in at night because I knew I would take a severe cold if I went out and be almost sick,but now I can go out at night and go around in my shirt sleeves without suffering later from cold. "I have tried many kinds of medicines, but failed to get the least benefit. I have removed in a very short time while taking Tanlac a condition which had caused me great suffering for ten years. Your medicine certainly has built up my system and lias given me renewed strength and energy. I have recommended it to several friends."
