THURSDAY. APR.27.1916. The Record's Contest. * # By a perusal of The County Record today it will be seen that the management of the paper has inaugurated a circulation contest which is to continue for eight weeks, or until Saturday, June 24, 1916. In order to carry on this contest successfully The Record has contracted with the J F Joyce syndicate, ?n.il! Un?m /* * 11 rtlio rrro nf t" hp WIIU Will nave x Ull vuat^v V* V..V campaign, which will be personally conducted by Mr and Mrs J F Joyce, who are well-known in newspaper circles throughout this and other Southern States and who come to us with the unqualified endorsement of some of the best people in the South. We feel no hesitancy in commending Mr and Mrs Joyce to all friends and patrons of the paper. The main object of this contest is to advertise the paper and increase its circulation and, with this end in view, the management of The Record is offering substantial prizes to those who are willing to help in the proposition as outlined elsewhere in this paper. The Record pledges good faith and fairness to all who enter the V f ' campaign. It is not a something for nothing scheme. It is a sound business proposition?one that has been adopted and successfully carried on by leading newspapers throughout the country. It is not a philanthropic undertaking, but one mUAMAkn A?tAaif)k/w4tT fol/Jnr* not*f in wucicuj ctcijfUVAJj uiniu^ 1U the campaign is benefitted to a greater or less degree.

End Connty-to-County Campaign It is to be hoped that the county convention will put itself on record as being opposed to the county-tocounty campaign every two years.

If he departs from the custom, he puts himself completely out of the running. It is a hardship upon the ooor man?in fact a poor man cannot afford to have political aspirations for a State office ?Leeause, to begin with,a lar.e expenditure is required to make the canvass with the campaign party. If the county-to-county campaign is abolished, a candidate can conduct his campaign as he sees fit. If he wants to stay at home and conduct his campaign by publicity in the newspapers, he can do so. Or, if he wants to conduct a county-to-county campaign, he can arrange his own meetings. Anyway, the campaign meetings, as now held, only afford food for the cheap politician and demagogue. There is no time for discussion of issues. A candidate is allowed a few minutes in which to discuss matters which would require hours. Of course he cannot do it,and 30 he usually compromises the matter by eliminating the issues entirely, tells a few jokes.expresses his delight at being among such good people, thanks his audience for the very kind attention accorded him,and sits TU/v?/\ n*U/v nf 0*?f Allf AH f Ko UU W 11. 1 [IUSC mill 3MU I uui uu bill. issues have to be so brief that they are more often misunderstood.

"I J have gained ten pounds in weight C and I am doing my housework, 1 though I was in bed continuously ? for six (6) weeks l>efore I began 5 taking Tanlac," she added. ? T Mrs Kernels is. widely known in J the Piedmont section of South Caro- 1 lina, being connected by blood or ? marriage to a number of the best 1 known families in Anderson, Oco- I nee, Pickens and Greenville counties. <L Continuing, Mrs Kernels said, in 2 regard to her awful suffering and in praise of Taulac: ? "I suffered from a very severe form of stomach trouble for five (5) _ years and steadily grew worse de- \ snite all treatment. These attacks. i which followed every uieal, resem- | bled convulsions and they were so ? very painful that they caused me to l become almost unconscious. Be- B ginning eleven (11) months ago, I r had been so sick I could do nothing around the house, and I spent the greater part of the time in bed or in a chair. "Last summer I was twice operated on, but that gave me no relief. Once I was carried to the hospital on Thursday, and it was the following Sunday before I realized where I was, so great was the agony I was suffering. "On the day before I began to take Tanlac, I had one of these attacks. which was particularly severe, and two doctors were called in. k They told me my case was hopeless, I and said they knew of nothing T which would relieve me. They sug- I Rested that another operation on r my stomach possibly might give re- ft lief. I had then been in l>ed six I (fi) weeks. My kidneys also were L in bad shape. Everything I ate I soured on my stomach. We had ? tried everything we knew of which ft might relieve me, but had invari- f ably failed. k "Finally, I was persuaded to take fl Tanlac. This remedy had relieved k in a remarkable way the indigestion B with which my daughter suffered. I r have now taken a little over two m bottles and have gained at least ten y (10) pounds. I am doing my ^ housework now, and only fifteen (15) days ago did I begin to take ? Tanlac. I feel fine in every way. | "The very first dose of Tanlac y made the attack which followed my k next meal much less severe, and I these attacks steadily grew less in ^ severity until, within a week, they fl were gone entirely. It is almost a r miracle, and only those who watch- fl ed me as I writhed in pain can ap- y preciate and understand just how I k suffered. I will never quit praising fl Tanlac, for it did me so much good, "I stay hungry all the time and fl what I eat does noi hurt ine at all. W My f ood digests well now, and it is k nourishing me. It is really wonder- H ful how Tanlae relieved my suffer- ^ ing and restored my health." B Evans Pharmacy, Anderson, will r gladly answer all inquiries regard- ft ing the above testimonial.
