THURSDAY. MAY 4. 1916. WAREHOUSE BURNED AT LAKE CITY. SUPPOSED TO BE INCENDIARYREVIVAL MEETING?PO LITCAL AND PERSONAL. Lake City, May 2:?This morning about 1 o'clock the Star Tobacco warehouse was wholly destroyed by fire. Before an alarm was given the flames had gained such headway that nothing could be done to save that building and it was only by .iard work that nearby dwellings and other structures were prevented from going the way of the warehouse. To such an extent had the fire spread that persons asleep in dwellings several hundred feet away were awakened by the roar of the flames before the pistol shots, which seems to be the recognized official signal, were heard. Mr Lewis, the lessee, was not in town, he not yet having come down from Virginia for the next season. The loss is several thousand dollars, which is said to be nartlv covered by insurance. The general impression seems to be that the fire was the work of an incendiary. It appears difficult to even imagine how it could have originated accidentally, yet there eema to be no clue to the perpetra* tor. This building was the property of the late 0 T Hall, and was the building in which he carried on his warehouse business for some fifteen years preceding his death, which took place less than a year ago. Quite a party of our citizens attended the county convention in Florence yesterday. Dr A H Williams introduced the resolution endorsing Congressman Ragsdale, which was adopted by a large majority of the voters present. Capt Blackwell delivered an eloquent and flattering tribute to the career of Mr Ragsdale. One of our young attorneys, Mr W H Whitehead, Jr, with his wonderful flow of words, made an address on pure democracy. A series of meetings which were held twice a day last week at the Baptist church, closed Sunday night. The pastor was assisted up to Sunday by Rev John Brunson, of Sumter, who is one of the most powerful preachers that the Baptist have in this section. Sunday morning Dr W B Oliver, of Florence, conducted the services, while at night Rev Ben Truluck, of Bethel, preached. Mrs Bertha Wolfe, of The Record, was in town a few hours this morning. The writer has heard many speak words of praise upon the splendid manner in which Mrs Wolfe is holding The Record upon the high ?lano nn whiph if WRS Ipft hv thp if'?p - ? -- ? , late editor and proprietor, Mr C W Wolfe.

The speaker of this more than remarkable statement wasT F Darby, i an automobile mechanic employed by the Central Garage, of Anderson, S C, who resides at 127 North McDuffie St. Mr Darby was for one year foreman for a Columbia niai chinerj company, which is one of . the largest enterprises of it< kind in the South, he said. He explained i that ill health forced his removal > from Columbia in search of a satisfactory change in climate. But it was not the climate he found, that > caused his ill health. ! Regarding his suffering and the ; remarkable relief Tanlac quickly > gave him, Mr Darby said: "I suffered with nervous indigestion for almost a year. I lost a j great deal of weight, my strength I left me and I got, to where I could not j work. I would suffer awfully after I eating and neither sweet milk nor > water would stay upon my stom[ ach long enough to get warm. I would get so nervous I could not control myself. I will tell you the I truth, I was in an awful condition, i ''One time when at Atlanta, where I had gone to consult a specialist, 1 j got on a train and when I realized I where I was I was at Gainesville. I I had been suffering so I had lost in> terest in everything. I spent that night at a Gainesville hospital. My wife got to where she was afraid for r me to go down town by myself, fearI ing I could not get home if one of those attacks hit me, which came ? every time I ate anything. 5 "My heart liegan to go bad under jthe strain.

Down at Colum i bia one day, however, a friend told ) me to take Tanlac. I bougth a hot! tie right away. "Six bottles banished that nervous indigestion. 1 gained twenty ! pounds while taking it, and I am in fine shape now. I can eat a hearty meal without suffering afterwards. I am strong, lively and happy, and my nerves are in fine condition. My kidneys, which gave me a great deal of trouble," are in good condition now. thanks to Tanlac. I can't get enough to eat, and I have to fight against eating too much. I surely can and do recommend Tan. lac. It is a wonderful medicine." i Tanlac, the master medicine, is , sold by Kingstree Drug Co, King. stree; Mallard Lumber Co's store, . Greelyville; price, $1 per bottle, i, straight. '!

May 15? 1910 Boy Scouts Organized. Rev H D Bull and Mr Sidnev M : Carter have recently interested themselves in the organization of a i boy scout patrol in Kingstree, and it nppeais that their efforts in this I direction have been successful. At I a meeting last FrLay atici ..00.1 the tenderfoot examination was given j and seven charter scouts enrolled. These will meet again at Thorn's J mill next Friday, when the oath of "allegiance" will be administered. Another patrol will be organized some time In June, when the boys will be free from school duties. A I similar movement was started here some months ago and a number of boys became interested in the organization under the leadership of a man whose name is withheld, but which, by the way, will be recalled here by those he succeeded in victimizing, hut this man's organization. like himself, was a failure in Kingstree. In the present undertaking we have much faith and hope to see a large per cent of Kingstree's boys enrolling in the organization this summer. F. H. Venters Dead.
