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

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

the campaign is benefitted to a
greater or less degree.
The inauguration of this contest
marks a new departure on the part of ,
i
The Record, and we hope for it the
hearty cooperation of every man and '
woman interested in the welfare of ]
old Williamsburg county and her
people, for which The Record has j
and will continue to stand and fight
to the last ditch or fail in the at- '

campaign every two years.

a State office is compelled to follow
the campaign party, whether he wants
to do so or not. 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,

kind attention accorded him,and sits

are more often misunderstood. The
present system of camDaigning also
probably does more than anything
else to keep partisan feeling at white

of everything except cotton advancing
it certainly looks like r^or business

farmers have been planting. Corn
can be eaten by man or beast, or
converted into meat, but you can't
eat cotton, nor convert into food for

ALMOST WORKED MIRACLE
SAYS ANDERSON WOMAN,
?
Mrs. Kernels Says Eating a Meal Would
Throw Her Into a Convulsion.
TWICE OPERATED ON.
Says Two and a Half Bottles of Tan- Y
lac Completely Relieved Her? ?
Gained Ten Pounds. ]
"Before I took Tanlac, I would <
1 #1 1 1 _ A 1 a a ^
nave aiier eacn nieai ai least one ut- >
tack of stomach trouble that would #
be so severe I would he thrown into <
a kind of convulsion, but now I T
have taken* about two and a half f
bottles of Taulac, and that trouble 5
has gone entirely," said Mrs Mary T
G Kernels, wife of G \V Kernels, of J
18 Hammett St, Andewon, S C. "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

gladly answer all inquiries regard- ft
