SAVED FROM PANIC AND FROM WAR In his speech before the Chamber of Commerce of Raleigh, North Carolina, Hon. W G. McAdoo, Secretary of the treas ury, made this statement: "It is a significant fact and it is an achievement of which the administration may well boast, that when the country was or the verge of appalling panic at the outbreak of the European ;M im i 24. Ai- ^ wt*i iu lirit, iu Weiss Lne aecisivc and adequate measures taken by the Government at Washington that prevented this panic and laid a secure foundation for tin great prosperity wo are now en joying. It was the leadership aud action of the Government a Washington that saved the coun try in this great crisis. "What a contrast this is to tin ineffectiveness of the Republicai administration at Washiugtoi during the panic of 1907, whicl left the country prostrate fo many years and brought im measurable disaster upon th American people." And yet there are some pec pie in these United States wh are willing to place the countr, in peril by putting the G O. I back in pewer. Not only in the magement c the finances but by keeping th country out of the Europen wa ' has the Democratic administra tion earned the approbation an J the lasting gratitude of the na tion.

A TleaTor Imp] Of Chesterfi* Editor of The Advertiser: 1 There is a situation in Ches terfield which is acute. I refer to our public school. The need i of enlarging the present building is urgent, yet it is understood that a number of our citizens oppose an extra levy for that purpose. Without know, ing who is for and who is against . the extra levy, let us carefully review the facts, weigh the evi , dence, and consider the argil; ments pro and con, in order that ! we may arrive at the true ver, diet. r In the beginning we might , say that no Com. tv in South Car[ olna has made more progress in > ttie last ten years than has Ches. terfield. Education has played } a large part in its development, t When a man of family seeks a . new location , (if he is an> man at all)', he gives preference t< a the town with good educational j advantages, for lie wa~ts his -j children to have the best school j ! ing within their reach. A good r school is one of the best assets . any community can have. e The great Civil War, and th? lie-construction Period whirl followed, deprived many of this () generation of the advantages ot y an education, to their life-long > regret. How many men hav< you heard say, "1 did not hav'v ,f the advantages of an education, 0 but I intend to see that my chilr dren have every opportunity in L an educational way?" j The boys and girls of today L- are the men and women of tomorrow. The future of this country is in their hands. It is our solemn, sacred duty t< give j. them the best possible advanj tage6. Woe unto us if we shit k that duty. 6 The present school building in Chesterfield was built in 1008. There were only four class rooms and about one hundred and ^ twenty-five pupils. Today there are still only four class rooms, * wnile there are about three hundred and twenty-five pupils. The school has grown over one S hundred and fifty per cent in | the number of pupils; its growth in elticiency cannot be correctly estimated, but it has remained at a standstill so far as accoinI inodatmns are concerned. Yet it is believed by many, that, this is the only High School in the County that gives the State High School diploma which will admit to the Freshman class of any ' college without ah examination. The auditorium and music ' rooms have been utilized as II class rooms. And speaking of music rooms, let me say that no 1 one who heard the music recitals 1 this year, but would say that the fact that music is taught in 1 connection with the school, not only reflects credit upon the 1 school, but upon the town, the 1 community, and the county as 1 well. A school needs an auditorium, j 1 where each morning the entire school assembles lor prayer and song before beginning, the day's work. It is proper that a school should use its own auditorium ' for its public exercises. In fact p an auditorium is a neccessary and vital requirement of a p school. r Yet it is said that some would p have them cut up ^his fine audi' torium into clusi rooms, and have the school do without a room where the entire school ? may assemble for chapel exercises, singing, or any public ex. * ercises, rather than pay out a ' few dollars in taxes and add two * or three extra io<>ms, which are ' more than badly needed. They 3 say that in using the auditorium 1 as a class rootn this year, that on one side a class would be try* ing to do examples in arit hmetic, 5 while next door, separated by ' only a th.n partition, was a class ! in music. Could you expect a child to do its best under such circumstances? s Another thing, it will cost ov er five hundred dollars to cut up the auditorium into class rooms, and it will be five hundred dollars thrown away, for in the ' next year or two extra class 1 rooms will be built of neces* sity, k Now as to the fax levy for this 1 purpose. A few years ago a resident o t Baltimore brought rovemJnt ^ eld High School suit asking- for an injunction against the city enjoining and restraining it from making a million dollars bond issue, for some municipal purpose. The newspapers made an investigation, and found that the man seeking the injunction returned for taxation nothing but an automobile, wl ich was returned at two hundred and twenty dollars. Figuring from his tax return, the amoulit of the bond iHbue, and the taxable property in the City of Baltimore, it was found that that man's taxes would be raised only ONK-M1LLIONTH OF A CENT, and the newspapers laughed him out of court. Take the hiegest tax payers we have?say the man who returns his property at ten ihous ! and dollars,(and there ure veiy fe.vof them)?three-mill levy would only increase his taxes $510 per year; the man who returns $5000 would only pay $15 idditional; and (he man returning $2500 would pay only $7.00; and the n>an returning #1000 would only pa\ #.'1.00 additional; and tho man who returned $500 would only have to pay $1.50 more, and so on. Tho damage done the tax pavers hy the extra levy is insignificant compared with the advantages it. would give the school, the town, the community Let us look at tlie matter from a socialistic standpoint for a moment. A man owns a piece of property worth one thousand dollars. A good school is built; now people move in, the community builds up generally as a lesult of this impetus given by education, and the man's property, originally worth one thousand dollars increases in value until it is worth two thu and. The owner of the property has done absolutely nothing to make his property increase in value from one thousand dollars to two thousand dollars. The community has increased its value. Has that man any right to kick at increased taxation, which is for the benefit of the community? No, for ho has an extra thousand dollais in increased value, which i the community has made him. Suppose the community should go to him and say: "You have | done nothing but sit down and i watch your land increase in value. W e have increased the J value of your land by one thousand dollars. Give us our proportion of tnat increase ?" Can't , you imagine the howl that land owner would raise? When a man becomes so im bued with tin; desire of making money or saving money, that he lose* sight of the c< mmunity from which he gets his money, then he is not only not performing his duty as a good citizen, but he is a poor business man. You mustn't kill the goose that lays the golden egg. If you get your money from a community, by building up that community, you have an opportunity of getting more money from it. We all make our living from the community in which wo live. An extra tax lew u/l?inl> nr/.r?u --.Ft " ?

Charleston Woman Would Become Unconscious For Half A Day Tanlac Helped Her After having been unable to woik four months on account of ill health, during which period she suffered from chills, fever,! indigestion and thut most repugnant of all complaints-? belching, wh'ch would continue for an hour at time?Mrs. L. Boylet, well-known housewife of No. 2 Blake street, Charleston, has added her name to the thousands who have found relief in the use of Tanlac,. "I suffered from indigestion and chills and fever," states | Mrs. Boylet. "My indigestion caused me terrible pains in my stomach ami chesi, and 1 would sometime- belch for an hour at a time. 1 suffered something terrible at times. It seemed that L could not digest anything that 1 ate. I suffered from extreme head aches and was extremely nervous, jumping at the slightest noise. After eating I would have a pretty full feeiing in mj stomach and I becanio very weak. These chills and tevei would come on me very sudden ly. I would be sitting, talkn f to my friends possibly, ami se Vere pains would start runninj up my limbs. In a few minute: they would spread to my bad and upper body. Then those terrible pains would continue for hours. Chills would set ii and I would go to bed. In r short while 1 would become uti conscious, remaining so for near ly half a day. I had these spelb about twice a year and have hat tiiv-iii n?i aunui iwur .years Sometimes my feet ami ankles would swell to double the u .rmal size and sometimes a Inrgt blister would form on my knees, This would lir .t turn red am] burn just exactly like a red-hot \ iron Leing pressed to me. In e | day or two it would turn into e 1 real blister. When this I listei was opened and the water lei tout it would turn into a very bar sore. 1 tell you, I suilered terribly. I have not been able tc | work tour months because of inj poor health. Sometimes 1 would i | turn black in the face, and have ! been pronounced dead while n the grip of these spells. These two conditions were gradually killing me. 1 do not believt that i would have lived verj long if 1 had not got relief wlier : I did.
