It is gratifying to note that th tendency of the people of this sec tion is setting more strongly to general education of their children Some counties, unable to solve th educational*problem in any othe way, have passed compulsory schoc laws, and in some localities thes are being enforced. Needless to sa that where such is the case the ri suits are most gratifying. Still there are sections of ou State where this is not the casemany sections where ignorance i still at a premium. This shoul not be. No child should ever b permitted to reach maturity withou being given the ground work of liberal education. There can l>e n greater menace to the safety of th State and the Nation than that c ignorance. It is the father of crim ami the mother of treason. Of late the press of the countr, has l?een overloaded with argumen for national preparedness. To oil way of thinking the most efifectiv preparedness that this State eouli attain to would l>e to see that ever, child within its borders is lifte* al?tve the soul paralyzing slough c ignorance, as was so beautifully &n? fiittingly illustrated by the hand some float of the Hemingway Grad ed school in the parade here on Ed ucational Day of the county fair This is the kind of preparednes that counts and not the cannon an* ball kind that so many citizens in terpreted Mr Speigner's float t< represent.

"Vox populi, vox Dei'' is indee< a noble sentiment, but it is tru only in so far as the voice of tin people is the voice of an enlighten ed, intelligent people.

There are few social or politico problems of which education is no the sure solution. ?? ;,,r(irm<><] hv on ?

Off Woik Fifteen Months. i ALMOST LOST HOPE, j Now Buck On Regular RunSays Tanlac Is Only Remedy Ever Helping Him. "w i ii if .1 .. i ! My name is .1 r> a aism anu my home is in Mobile, Ala. I am thirty-three years old and l>y profession am a railroad engineer. I have a regular run on the work train between Selma and M >1 ?ile. "I'p to only a few months ago? j that is, up to the time I started tak-! ing Tanlac?my health was broken down completely. When I com-: meneed taking Tanlae I only weigh-; ed one hundred and three pounds |j and had not been able to work forj fifteen months. Now, after taking' only three and a half bottles of Tanlac, I weigh one hundred and seventy-one pounds and have actually gained sixty-eight pounds and never felt letter in my life. "I suffered for several years with the worst kind of stomach trouble and also with constipation. I kept dropping down in weight and losing strength, and finally I broke down completely. I had several attacks of what was called acute poisoning of the stomach and nolnxly knows how I suffered. "I took treatment at the Marine Hospital at Algiers,La,and atfstTulane Hospital, New Orleans. I also took treatment at Hot Springs, Ark, and at Lookout Mountain. To tell you the truth, I tried everything I could think of and spent hundreds! of dollars, hut I just kept going down hill, and for fifteen whole months I was unable to run my engine or to do any other kind of work. "Of course, I was awfully discouraged about myself, as I could see but little hope of ever being well again. While I was sick and unable to work a brakeman gave me a half bottle of Tanlac. 1 took it and began to feel better right away. My stomach felt better and got so I could eat and eniov mv meals. 'When this was gone I bought I another bottle, and after finishing it ' 1 felt so much better I went back to work on a switch engine. I could just feel myself gaining in weight and getting stronger every day, and after taking my second bottle 1 went hack to running an engine on the main line. "Now, since taking three and onehalf bottles of Tanlae, I am working regular, running a work train between Mobile andSelma,the swampiest country in this section of the State. "Now, what 1 have told you is the truth, andliundreds of people who know me and know how I looked lie fore 1 took Tanlae will tell you the same tiling. Another thing, you can see from my picture, which I had taken while I was sick, how much stronger and healtheir I look now than I did then. "They can say all they pleaseal-out Tanlae and patent medicines* but I can truthfully say that Tanlae is the only medicine tlmt ever did me any good and I want everybody to know about it. If jH-ople don't ltelieve you, just tell thorn to come and look at J me now and then look at my picture, which was taken while I was sick. I will show them mighty quick what Tanlae lias done for me." Tanlae, the master medicine, is sold by Kingstrcc Drug Co, Kingstree; Mallard Dumber Co, Greelyville; Farmers' Drug Co, Hemingway; S S Aronson, Lane; II P Hinnant, Suttons; W D Bryan, Bryan.
