| A SOUND SLEEP. I Story of Courier's Experiences In tH Crimean War. ^ " Speeding along togethej in a mo torcar, two officers, a ir"renchmai and a Russian, recently. fell intc Sy conversation ct>flferning the Crl mean war ir^fhe fifties, in which th< grandfatjprfs of both had been en^grandfather was in SebastomBFfoi;' said the Russian, ''but onh for a short time. He was sent north ^ to Mi scow with dispatches for the czar. Such a journey as he had: There were no railroads, and he drove and rode all the way, night and day, at full speed, for the dispatches were urgent. He slept riding and he 6lept driving. He became so exhausted he could sleep anywhere. Once he awoke and re covered himself jijst as be was fall'' "iflg pVit 9* th? sledge an^ fou^d the jlsleep, tod. knd the horses going ahead at full speed, so that he would pever b&ve been missed and would have doon frozen to death in . $he road. At last, after a terrible journey, he reached Moscow and the palace and was taken at once to the czar. He saluted, handed him the ditpatches and immediately lurched back against the wall and fell asleep standing! "Presently the czar turned to him to ask him a question and saw that he was asleep. It was a mon trous offense, but Nicholas was not >? , apgry. He spoke kindly to my *grandfather first; then loudly and ahfcrply. He touched him. He shook him, my grandfather did not wake. t*he czar reflected a moment, then he leaned close and shouted at his ear, Tour honor, the horses are ready!' "My grandfather waked and sprang upright in an instant it wis the one call he would hare heard-?that he had been hearing for eight days. He was abashed and alarmed when he realized that he had indeed 6lept in the imperial preeerce, an unheard of affront to majesty, but the czar only laughed and bade him go home and rest. He thanked him an<f 6tarted'to go, but he moved so stumblingly, for hie eves were already beginning to close, that he walked into a door frame. An escort was sent to 6ee him to his lodgings and put him to bed. Once there he slept the clock round, waked long enough to breakfast, and slept it round again. 'Never again till I fall into the sleep from which you do not wake at all,J he used to say, 'shall I know what it is to sleep as soundly as you can/ "?Exchange. A Useful Woman. "Blennerhassett," said Mrs. Bliggins as he was about to Etart downtown, "can you let me have a little money to run the house with today?^ "Yoa can have just 50 cents," he growled, flinging' the coin at her and slamming the door behind him ?as he went out fBy the way, Bliggins," said a friend who dropped into his place of business an hour or two later, "will you go my security on a note for $500?" "Shortleigh," replied Bliggins, "i1 is an inflexible rule in my family that I must never do anything o 1 that kind without consulting my wife."?Chicago Tribune. Gonads Was Bought Chsap.

Patent Medicine Frauds. ? * i.L.i It is gratitymg to Know uim Southern Legislators and Governors are beginning to take increasing interest in the patent medicine evil. Wisely enough does the State saj that in order to practice in person, a man must show good charactei and must attend a medical college for a certain number of years, and must pass a specified examination at proof of his ability. And yet the same State turns right round and allows any man to advertise cure-all patent medicines without proof of character, without college or hospital training and without any examination whatever to show that he knows or cares anything about medical science! There is nothing at all to prevent a negro just off the chaingang from fixing up a so-called medicine, advertising any sort of claims about it and selling it to ignorant people the same as if it were the product of the most famous medical expert of the century. Here is a good chance for some legisla tioa, and we hope it is coming in all Slates.? The Progressive Farmer. ir still 1 lan ?

GAINED TWENTY POUNDS After Eight Years of Suffering, Greenville Woman Says Tanlac Soon Banished Troubles "I improved in every way right from the start after I began taking Tanlac and I gained in weight from one hundred and seventeen pounds to one hundred and thirty-seven pounds?a gain of twenty pounds, and I soon was in such good health, so far as my etouiach was concerned, i that l coma eat ana enjoy anytning ' I wanted and digest it properly, too, ^ ieven if I had suffered about fight ,years with stomach trouble." J ! The remarkable results given Mrs < ! Annie Keller, of 116 Murphy St, l ! Greenville, by Tanlac were described * ' in her highly interesting statement, ^ ; of which the above paragraph is a ? part. Continuing, Mrs Keller said: "I suffered from indigestion and stomach trouble particularly, which | I had" had for maybe six or eight years, anyway, it was a long time, : and 1 failed to find any medicine that would break up the trouble. 1 I suffered a great deal with pains in , my stomach ami chest after meals, and also had a burning sensation,and gas on my stomach also troubled me , a lot. ! 4,I had headaches so badly that I could hardly endure them at times, and my nerves were on edge. My ap- ? petite had left me and I did not eat enough hardly to keep one alive,and I had to be very careful with what I ate. Then I began taking Tanlac, because I had heard so much about the good it was doing others in Green ville. The Tanlac made me better almost from the start and I improved rapidly in every way. I gained from 117 to 187 pounds, a gain of 20 pounds, and the Tanlac gave me 1 a grand appetite and I soon was- * eating everything I wanted. The headaches were broken up, and my nerves strengthened. "My strength was increased and I soon was feeling fine and like a different person. Tanlac is a good medicine, the best I ever took, and I cannot praise it too much or endorse j it too strongly for troubles like I had. t I first took Tanlac about a year ago, e taking about two bottles. I shall al- c ways take Tanlac when I have trou- ? bles that Tanlac is good for. 5 "I am always glad to praise Tan- c lac, too, for it is the grandest medi- a cine I ever took, and I feel stronger j and in letter health than I have been j in years, and I am a number of pounds heavier in weight. It is far ? and away the best medicine I ever t took for my troubles." 4 Tanlac, the master medicine, is * sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kings tree; Mallard Lumber Co, Greelyville; Farinerfl' Drug Co, Heming- ' way; S S Aronson, Lane; R P Hin- " nant, Suttons; WD Bryan, Bryan, jjj Receipt Books, Blank Notes, Mortgages and } all Legal Blanks in demand, for sale at The Record ofice.
