BAGGETT Jeweler end Optician Kingstree, S. C. ; GAINS 30 POUNDS AFTER SUFFERING SIX YEARS. I Mrs, Roberts, of Colunibia, Vainly Tried I Many Ways to Combat Ills. I AN OPERATION FAILED. After Taking Two Bottles of Taolac, She Was Strong Enough to Box With tier Son. Prompted by a feeling of gratitude that apparently was deep and sincere, M A Roberts, of 731 Assembly St, Columbia, one of this city's well known plumbers, told a story that will necessarily make a deep impression upon many, for it is a story of human suffering and of the means which brought a feeling ol contentment, peace and "good will toward men." It is another one of the remarkable Tanlac stories, and as mankind is heir tosuffering, Mr Roberts' statement almost assumes the importance of a sermon. He said: "I shall be glad to tell you how Mrs Roberts at last regained hei health and strength, and I shall tell you why she can now engage ir lx)xing matches with our 16-year-old son instead of conducting herself as one broken in health. "For a number of years Mrs Rob erts suffered acutely with kidnej troubles and chronic appendicitis with their accompanying ills. She was generally run down in health and was forced to undergo an operation, which, however, gave hei little relief. "She perhaps suffered equally a.much with liver troubles, and, dur ingan operation, a surgeon removec several hundred small gall stones He gave me a bottle containing twe hundred and thirty stones, which li were scraped from her liver. Dur * ing the past five years her health has been very unsatisfactory. J spent practically all I earned paying the bills for medical services for her "She was so sore on her righi side that she could not even bear tc touch it. Because all our efforts tc find relief had failed, she became discouraged. We saw almost everj day in the papers a statement bj some one who had been greatlj helped by Tanlac, and she decidec to give it a trial. We certainly are thankful we did, and we are alsc thankful we were privileged to get it "This is the reason: Mrs Robert" feels fine now, and from a weight o one hundred and seventy pound: when she was last weighed before taking Tanlac, she has increased ir weight to more than two hundrec pounds. She was forced to increas< by four inches the waists of all he: clothes. I have seen her on severa occasions boxing with our 16-year old son; she says she can now take as much punching on her right sidi oj nn tlio lpft pnmnletplv wiu th( soreness in that side remeved whili she was taking Tanlac. "Mrs Roberts has taken just t\v< bottles of Tanlac, and is now takinj her third bottle. She did not wani ~ to start the third buttle because sh is gaining weight so rapidly. Shi says she does not need medicra now. Really, her recovery lias beei more than remarkable, and I an more than glad to tell the public o the great benefit it brought her We certainly are strong boosters o Tanlac, fur it has done mure fu Mrs Roberts than all the other med icines. We have urged quite ; number of our friends to take Tan lac for their troubles."

Many a farmer carries more money in his pocket than a city business man who has a hundred thousand dollars. Here are three reasons why farm business men as well as town business men should deal with banks and pay by check: 1. Carrying iponey on your person ? is unsafe. Your money and possibly your life is endangered by this wilful invitation to robbery and theft. 2. When you pay by check you f get the canceled check back and a receipt for every single item you have paid. There is no chance of j hnvincr tr> nav an account twice.vour c , " ***0 vv f w? ? >c check being the proof and the re- g ceipt. tl 1 3. When you deposit in the bank e every cent you receive from the sale j ; of your product, and then draw it t out by check, you are establishing a f credit with the bank. The man who 0 has a balance with the bank on his 0 checking account most of the year t will have no trouble in borrowing a j( couple of hundred dollars to carry " him over a tight place.?Progressive t harmcr. Q , _ c ? The "Ten Demandments." I r A business concern at Steveston, J which is away up in Western Cana- j da, has the following worldly wisdom conspicuously posted in their t shop. While this may be a bit ar" rogative, it is, nevertheless, straight j from the shoulder: e ' First?Don't lie. It wastes my j ' time and yours. I am sure to catch 1 ;? fUa an/I onrl that orill thA < jyju in nit tuw, ?..v* v..?^ ..... , [ wrong end. j Second?Watch your work, not the clock. A long day's work makes a long day short, and a short day's I work makes my face long. Third?Give me more than I expect, and I will give you more than i 1 you expect. I can afford to increase r your pay if you increase my profits. ^ Fourth?You owe so much to your^ self you cannot affort to owe any- * body else. Keep out of debt, or ' keep out of my shops. 1 ' Fifth?Dishonesty is never an ac) cident. Good men, like good worn- 1 en, never see temptation when they ( ) 1 4 mtreb it. ' Sixth?Mind your own "business T and in time you'll have a business of * r your own to mind. ' j Seventh?Don't do anything here * s which hurts your self-respect. An j employe who is willing to steal for * one is willing to steal from me. ' Eighth?It is none of my business 1 f what you do at night. But if dissipation affects what you do the next * 2 day, and you do half as much as I ( J demand, you'll last half as long as j you hoped. 1 a Ninth?Don't tell me what I'd like p to hear, but what I ought to hear. ; j I don't want a valet for my pride, but for my purse. ~ Tenth?Don't kick if I kick. If 1 J you're worth while correcting you're 1 I worth while keeping. I don't waste 1 * time cutting specks out of rotten I " apples.?1^ Caxton. I 5 i , The Seaboard Air Line railway has I made an appropriation of $10,000 ; e for the erection of a new passenger e station at Florence. It will be built e on the opposite side of the street I from the present structure and will ! be constructed of brick, decorated f with stucco work. Work on the new station will commence shortly. f ? r Columbia College News. (Written for last week's issue.) II Columbia, April 3:?Many of the " old Columbia college girls attended the State Teachers' meeting, March s 16, 17, and 18. We were indeed glad to welcome them back again at '? the banquet given by the college in '? their honor on Friday evening. A krtnt t'/irtu.fivn r?amp nnt fnr thp j occasion. The first of the series of graduating recitals for this session was giv> en in the chapel on Friday evening, " March 31, by Misses Ora Huckabee > of Bennettsville and Genevive Ste venson of Columbia. These young s ladies will receive diplomas in piano * at the coming commencement. 1 Our second term's examiuations f are all over now, and we are begins ning the third and last term's work. * We shall have no spring holidays , * this year, but are expecting to go , " home a week earlier than usual, which will be about the last of May. , s | Just two months longer! ( The campus improvement worK is { moving on rapidly, and the alumnae, ( r together with the other friends of ( , the college, are contributing liber- j ally. Before very long we hope to j have a really beautiful campus. , Jennie Lee Epps. Spring. Spring is looked upon by many as '< 5 the most delightful season of the ' i year, but this cannot be said by the 1 t rheumatic. The cold and damp ) I weather brings on rheumatic pains ' which are anything but pleasant. : | They can be relieved, however, by ; 11applying Chamberlain's Liniment. i Obtainable everywhere. * * / PERUNA A A STANDARD FAMILY REMEDY For over forty years it has been used as A TONIC AND STOMACH REMEDY.

Earles, April 10:?The remains of ir Joe McCants, who passed away "riday, was laid to rest in the Johnon Swamp cemetery Saturday afernoon at two o'clock. The deceasd leaves a wife and one child. Mr IcCants has suffered for the last hree years and it is 3aid he longed or death to come and relieve him f his sufferings. A large concourse f friends gathered at the cemetery o pay their last respects to this ang and patient sufferer. Several farmers in this section are hrough planting corn and tobacco ind are ready for cotton planting, >ut te cold i9 too severe for them to isk their cotton seed in the ground. Mr Alfred Thompson recently lurehased two fine blooded hogs. Mr P B Feagin went to Georgeown last week on business. Earles High and Graded school was epresented at the Field day exer:ises Saturday and won several jrizes. Mr Walice Altman, who has been rery ill for several days past, is imiroving rapidly.

This was made wfth very little fertilizer and is not the only thing that can be raised successfully in the lower part of the county. All we need is a little more drainage and our roads worked to make this the garden spot of old Williamsburg, and we feel sure of the roads being worked now. as the chaingang is still getting nearer. Mr S H Norton had business at Andrews last Friday. Rural Policeman W L Altman is doing much needed work in this section. With the co-operation of the people it is believed he will make a good officer. MrS?R Walters lost one of his farm mules last week, but has pur chased a fine buggy horse since, and we hope to hear him ask soon? "Where can I hitch my ho9S?" The heavy frost Sunday night injured crops and gardens very much here and made it very disagreeable for "Poor Boy." Virginia again manifested her re- . gard for law and order whtn at Petersburg recently the fire department was called out and by throwing streams of water dispersed a crowd that was making threats against a prisoner in jail. The man was a negro who had confessed to a capital offense committed against a white afirl of fifteen years. The presence of police and troops not quieting the ;rowd, the water cure was found effective. The guilty man will be punished by law, as his great crime deserves. Why Constipation Injures. The bowels are the natural sewerige system of the body.
