APR. 6.1916. t " t * This paragraph from the Ulanta Observer makes us feel that gentle spring is surely on her way, and that much good work might, in the interim, be accomplished in our own beautiful little town: "The balmy days of spring will soon be upon us, when the green sward and the sweet scented flowers fill our hearts with the j6y of living. We should make the best' of each day as it comes to us. We should I not leave until tomorrow one duty which can be performed today. And this thought brings to our c . * * rid a few very important duties v raich confront ps if we would consider the welfare of our people. This town could stand a good thorough clean-up. Our good housewives will take care of the homes, but we of the masculine gender might well look to the cleaning of the streets, and the alleys, and the vacant property. Refuse is to be found in many places, and these heaps are breeding spots for germs, and disease and often of death. It IS Up tO US. Simplicity, they say, is to be the mode in feminine wearing apparel this summer. Such, too, if we are correctly informed, was the mode in the days of Mother Eve. EX-GOV. SMITH DEAD.

He was about 56 years old. me rormer Governor's home was in Timmonsville, S C. He was president of a Timmonsville bank and was prominently known in Baptist educational circles. As Lieutenant Governor under Cole Blease he succeeded to the Governorship on the latter's resignation a few days before the end of histerm.

T AMERICANS VICTORIOUS G G In Mexico?About Forty of tbe p Enemy Killed. San Antonio, Texas, April 4.?Sur- ~ prised during their siesta, one of V: the groups of Villa's forces driven n from Guerrero, was defeated Saturday by a squadron of the 10th cr.vnr r> M Oil V, UUUCI UUl If V DIUVVU, auuiu- iw ing to information obtained by Gen J< Pershing and forwarded to Gen Funston today. In this, the second engagement, the American troops have had with Villa's men, the bandits' losses were estimated at from thirty N to forty killed. No mention of American loss was made. S< News of the reported engagement, H fought at the village of Aguas Calientes, twenty-five miles southeast of . Bachinaba, was brought by friendly ^ Mexicans to a point near Rubio, t; I where a detachment of the 10th cavairy, under command of Major Evans, halted yesterday.. At the time E Gen Pershing sent his dispatch to Pt Gen Funston he had not received an V official report from Col Brown, and W the expeditionary commander point- L ed out that reports of the encounter M lacked confirmation. Credence in the news was indicated, however, by the fact that he transmitted it to army headquarters here. l, According to the version of the ^ Mexicans who arrived at Major Evans's headquarters, Col Brown surprised and attacked the wander- te ing bandits at noon while they were tu lying about the village, many asleep tu and all of their horses grazing. utner tnan t/ie number reported gi killed and the fact that the Ameri- dj can forces captured a number of m horses, Major Evans's informants at were without details of the encounter. < Sa 1 " sh Is Not a Candidate. -Q Editor County Record:? \ fa I understand that it is reported in gt Kingstree and elsewhere that I am W) a candidate for the office of County Auditor.

TOOK FRIEND'S ADVICE Li : Gained Twenty Pounds on Two Bottle: of Taotac and Thinks It Is the Finest Medicine. i A message that will probably in . terest more people than any of th< thousands of endorsements hereto 1 fore given the famous medicine 1 Tanlac, is the remarkable statemenl given to the press by Capt T J Hobbs, who resides at 2110 Aclor ? Ave, Nashville, Tenn. Capt Hobbs has been a passenger conductor or the Louisville and Nashville railroad for thirty-seven years and is one of the most popular and widelj known railroad men in the South. "I suffered with this trouble foi fifteen years," sai^ the genial captain to a Tanlac representative whc had heard of the unusual case thai was the talk of the railroad yards, ? ?* i J : IL:. A: r A . anu uuring mis nine i speni on ar ^ average of $500 a year trying to get * cured. The doctors said I had en1 largement of the liver. "Well, I don't know whether it was that or something else," he continued, "but I do know that foi the last three years I have not had a single good night's rest, and have not been able to lie on my side at all. I got so I could scarcely eat anything without suffering for hours afterwards, and I fell off fifty-five pounds. I'm rather a big fellow, as you see, and my normal weight is 250 pounds, but I fell off to 195 and was getting so weak I could hardly drag myself through the train. "Of a night when I would lie down my right side would pain me so badly that it felt like an iron pin was being driven through me. My digestion was terrible, and I took a lot of medicine, but nothing would J _ 1 aoany gooa. "Every summer for fifteen years I would go to Red Boiling Springs, where the water and rest would patch me up temporarily, but in a short time I would lapse into my old condition. J was just on the verge of giving up all hope of ever seeing a well day again when my engineer said to me: 'Captain, why don't you try Cooper's new medicine? All the railroad hoys are talking about it, and it is certainly worth a dollar to give it a trial.' "Well, I went into Demoville's drug store and got a bottle, and I guess you can see at a glance what it has done for me. J am now on my seventh bottle. I sleep as sound as a dollar and can lie on my right side without the least discomfort. I just sleep so soundly that I don't hear the alarm clock half dhe time and I guess I'd miss my train if Mrs Hobbe didn't yank me out of 1 1 T J1 L .! T 1J Dea. 1 aoD i oeiieve i wouiu ever wake up. "I enjoy my meals, too; I just eat everything in sight. A few nights ago I ate a big bowl of cabbage, something I very much like but have been unable to eat for years. My! But it tasted good?and it didn't give me oae bit of trouble. "For a long time my work dragged on me. It worried me and I couldn't take the interest in it I used to, but nothing worries me now except my hunger, for it does seem like I can't get enough to eat. I now go to bed with a wire edge on my spirits. I enjoy my work just like I used to. All the boys have noticed the change. "After I had taken two Ixittles of Tanlac, I weighed and found I had gained twenty pounds. That was a few weeks ago; but I know I weigh a great deal more by now. If I had known you were coining out to see me I would have weighed again. I'll say this: I think Tanlac is one of the finest medicines I ever heard of in my life, and I am glad to recommend it to everybody. All my friends know about it, you can bet on that, and I know of about thirty of the boys who are taking it." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kingstree; Mallard Lumber Co's store, Greelyville. | BUREAU OF MARKET- | | IN6 AND EXGHAN6E.
