KELTON
Kelton, March 13.?We are having
some genuine March weather. After
two weeks of wet and cold weather
the plows are moving today.
Mr. J. O. Gault is desperately sick
with a complication of diseases at his
sons home near Kelton and is not expected
to live 12 hours.
The tragic death of Mr. F. M. Adams
last Monday was a terrible shock
to the citizens of the Ridge. A good
man is gone. It was my pleasure to
serve as a public school trustee of
Pinckney township with Mr. Adams
and Mr. J. V. Askew. I found Mr.
Adams agreeable and the board had
worked harmoniously together. His
place will be hard to fill.
We were sorry to hear of the death
of Dr. W. O. Southard of Jonesville.
He possessed a noble spirit. At the
very beginning of his practice 38 or
40 years ago he practiced in our community
and it is said of him he never
ittiieu iu re?punu lo a can, let it oe
from white or black, poor or well-todo.
It is no wonder that such a man's
passing: away was in peace. Serving:
others is serving: God. We may contribute
to build fine churches and to
pay big: salaries to support preachers,
but there is nothing: like serving those
in distress.
I am truly sorry that our delegation
has seen fit to pass an act to vote on
trood road bonds in our county after
the voters of the county had repudiated
at the polls before, but I suppose
that they had nothing: to do for
the dear people they wanted to do
something:. It is identically the same
measure with a few catch words added.
Now, if this building: of permanent
highways was not for pleasureseekers
then it is unjust for them to
pay for travelling on them and if it
is for automobiles the people should
not be taxed to build and keep them
up. If such a law is not class legislation
then what is class legislation ?
In the other election for road bonds
we were permitted to have a full discussion
publicly on the question, but
now it is as silent as a stone wall.
What's the matter? Are the politicians
trying: to run a blind calf over
the voters of our county to keep them
in tne darK and about the last issue
of the county papers before the election
they will be crowded with what
they call the pood advantages the people
will receive if they only will vote
for the bonds and make some believe
them and vote for them. Now, voters,
read carefully ?who can vote in the
election. It dofesn't make any difference
if you have lived all your life in
the State and county have moved
from one voting precinct to another
you have got to be there four months
or you can not vote. Now, Mr. Voter,
who are they driving at? Nobody
but the mill people. The politician
has found out that the mill people
will vote as they want them to. They
are working the scheme to cheat them
out of their liberty which their fathers
fought for. They have one privilege
left, and that is to move when
they see cause. They may not soon
be able to use that. They are tightening
the screw every year and they
nay not be able to move. Look at our
taxes now and compare them with
former taxes. I will give you some
on very identical property: In 1915
taxes $25.03; in 1899 $10.50. Now
you can see that the taxes in 16 years
have gained $'14.53. What will they
be the next 25 years? Now they
Mrnnf V ~ _I~ 1L ?
iu ucu)j une-Hixiri or more on
us at one leap, $'250,000 at 5 per cent
is $12,500. Suppose the bonds run
'20 years. It will take $12,500 a year
to retire them; add the interest yearly
and you have $'25,00. We would
have added about ore-sixth of our
present taxes at on? leap and at on
early date we have got to have $50,000
for a jail to keep prisoners in,
etc., until taxes will be so high a
poor man can't stay here.
Now, my fellow voters, we are now
paying taxes on a railroad in North
Carolina, for over 40 years that we
' voted. I say we, because I voted for
the bonds, because I was young and
did not have any more sense. I had
a great deal to say about them before
the other election, but I did not tell
it all. They hired June Mobley, a
deep dyed negro radical to stump the
county to get the negroes to vote for
the bond and gave him $500, one
whom we had been trying to defeat
for years. It depends on whose axe
was being ground. I have been associating
with the mill people for 20
years and I find them as good and
honest as you will find anywhere,
bright little boys and girls, who, if |
they have a chance, will make their
mark in the future.
Farmers and wage earners, don't
get too busy the day of the election
that you do not turn out and vote
again those bonds.
Let all read Rev. C. F. Felmet's letter
in the last copy of The Times. It
has the right ring . G. T. G.
WESLEY CHAPEL GIRLS
WIN ANOTHER VICTORY.
The Wesley Chapel five beat the
Ix>ckhart High school girls by a score
of 11 to 8 at basket ball.
Misses Leone Meng and Annie Neal
Hallman were the stars for Lockhart,
while Misses Mattie Palmer and
Marie Vaughan were the stars for
Wesley Chapel.
The game was very exciting from
starl to finish. The locals showed excellent
team work, but was weak on
goal throwing.
The Lockhart team guarded well,
hut did not show much team work.

Whenever You Need a General Tonic
Take Grove's
The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless

SHELTON
Shelton, March 13.?You will find
$1.00 for which renew my subscription
to The Times. I am always glad to
read it.
It looks very much like the weather
has settled for awhile.
The farmers need all the fair weather
they can bet. They are badly behind
with their ploughing. I know
of some who have not ploughed any at
?11 U..1 T J ?. -
an, uuv i uun t see any use to be in a
hurry, for if we make a big cotton
crop we will get a jow price for it. f ,
think the best thing the farmers can
do is to prepare their land better, (
plant more corn, and other feed stuff,
cut down the cotton crop and be sure
to leave off the guano. I believe that
guano will pay for itself, but do not ,
believe it will pay for itself and leave
you anything. If it does not leave us
a little profit what are we doing7 I
call it working for the guano compa- |
nnies. I know of a man that has only (
one mule. In 11> 14 he used twe tons ,
of guano and made seven bales of cot- ,
ton; in 1915 he did not use ar.y ,
guano and made the same amourt of
cotton. I want the farmers to figure |
out this problem and see what this :
man was doing. When I buy guano ]
I call it buying land in sacks ana
some of it is worse than the land we ]
have. Well, I will hush about the
guano before I make some one mad, q
for there will be some that will use ,
it, whether it pays or not. ]
I think the health in our commun- s
ity is fairly good. I do not hear of ,
much sickness, only Mrs. Lee Dicker- |
son has been quite sick for a few s
aays ,out l am glad to say she is <
some better. ,
I see that Mr. A. B. C. has disap- ,

Ben F. Newman, Southern's
Freight Agent at Columbia,
Tell of Changes.
SAYS "I AM DELIGHTED"
One of His Greatest Desires
Obtained After Ten-Year
Effort?Tanlac Brought
Relief.
Seldom do men of prominence in
business and commercial life willingly
express their indebtedness to a
proprietary medicine, but when a
preparation attains that singular purity,
uniformity and efficiency that is
shown by Tanlac, endorsements from
the best known citizens may be considered
as fully measuring up to the
good that is being accomplished.
Ben F. Newman, the big, jovial
Southern Railway freight agent at
Columbia, a man whose present high
position assures he has heen true <-?
every trust reposed in him, is one of
the widely known men of Columbia
who has priven praise to Tanlac. Mr.
Newman has a long and excellent record
in the service of the Southern.
He held the important position of
freight agent at Colmbus, (la., before
he was promoted to the position he
now holds. With the men under his
supervision, he is a prime favorite, because
of his fine business ability, excellent
judgment and open-hearted
disposition.
When he was interviewed at his office,
K00 Gervais St., regarding the
relief Tanlac had brought him, Mr.
Newman said: "I am delighted with
Tanlac; it has brought me the relief
[ have sought for years.
"During the past eight or ten years
my system has been in such a rundown
condition that I was peculiarly
liable to tnkp rnlH TVioec nnl'l''
sometimes continue two or three
weeks and would be quickly followed
>y another. Cold frequently would
settle in my limbs, back and shoul- i
lers, causing me intense pain of a ]
leuralgaic nature, v During several f
winters I have worn plasters on my 1
jack almost all the time. At times I i
was forced to arise at night and ]
)athe my limbs fh a strong liniment j
? relieve the ache. Even in the sumner
months I was greatly troubled (
with colds, which my system seemed
mable to throw off. When I had a

ibout to fall to pieces.
J"I began taking Tanlac and took
^K> battles before I stopped. Now I
?njoy a freedom from colds I have ?
iot known in years. Before I took
Tanlac I would catch a fresh cold
?very pay day, when I went into the
old pay car, and would feel terribly
"or a week or more. Last week when
paid off employees no ill effects
ame from the exposure, and the day
vas very cold.
"For years I was peculiarly effected
>n my right side, where there was a
ump which would swell up and become
sore and painful when I would
ake cold. I could not sleep on that
:ide, but the lump disappeared while
[ was talking Tanlac and I can now
est well on that side. I feel splendid
n every way. During the past five
rears I had to stay in at night because
I knew I would take a severe

jut now I can go out at night and go
iround in my shirt sleeves without
uilfering later from cold.
"I have tried many kinds of medicines,
but failed to get the least benefit.
I have removed in a very short
;ime while taking Tanlac a condition
vhich had caused me great suffering 1
'or ten years. Your medicine cer- ^
;ainly has built up my system and
las given me renewed strength and
ncrgy. I have recommended it to ]
several friends."
