Few changes have been made ir. the revised peace treaty. The original contentions of the allied and as sociated powers have virtually been maintained intact. The Germans have until next Monday, June 23, to sign. If she signs within that time limit, the treaty wil. be signed by all the powers concerned; if she declines to accede to the de- ' mands of the Allies the armistice will be automatically terminated and the I allied armed forces will take what I ever steps they deem requisite to the | occasion. | With the revised treaty containing interlineations in red ink, where changes had been made in it, was a covering note written by M. Clemenceau, president of the peace conference. The covering note severely castigates Germany for protesting against the treaty on the ground that the treaty conflicts with the terms ol the armistice. . Clemencau says Germany fails to understand the position she occupies today in the estimation of the world for being responsible for a war which was "the greatest crime against humanity and the freedom of the people that any nation, calling itself civilized has ever consciously committed." The new terms are virtually the same as those of the first draft, the alterations being of very little importance to any of the nations con cerned. The few concessions granted to the Germans, such as permission to increase her standing army foi next three years from 100, 000 tc 200,000 the dropping of one of tin Danish districts at the request of Denmark, from the operation of the pro posed plebiscite; the grant of a pleb -cite to Silesia, and a few other mode citations, all for the purpose of facilitating the performance of tin heavy obligations of the Germans, arc the principle changes. In fact, the long, exhaustive discussions indulg ed in by the German delegates, which have so long delayed the proceedings, have gained nothing for them tha. would not have been granted by theii eonquerers upon request, after a lit le explanation. MASSEY ROBERSON ENDS I HER LIFE WITH A GUN | Massey Roberson one of Chester | field's most widely known m-crm characters, was found deud with a shot gun near by, in her home last Wendnesday morning. Her daughter who was sleeping in the next room did not hear the sho. that ended her mother's life. The charge entered the left side, probabally just below the heart and caused death very quickly, though not instantly, as she placed the the gun against the wall and seated herself in a chair before expiring. Magistrate Teal held an inquest and rendered a verdict of suicide. *;he made careful preparation and did ooi intend to be interrupted, as the doors were carefully locked and barred. There was no known motive, but she was very likely slightly ii sane. A son is now in an insane asylum. With the passing of Aunt Massey, ihe colored population of Chesterfield looses one of its most picturesque characters. She was of generous proportions, weighing in the neighborhood of .100 pounds, and was stubborn as she was fat, sometimes seating herself in the door way of a store on a Saturday afternoon and refusing to budge until she became good and r?ady, not-with-standing that her width prevented customers from entering or leaving the store. On such o .cusions persuasion was found to be ihe best basis of procedure, as there was no way of getting a gr.p, even were force sufficient to remove her | obtainable. Also, it was never considered safe to arouse her temper, as she feared neither man nor woman, white or black, and entire families- of her own race haw regretted opposing her and usualiy had an expense account to settle with the doctor after a conflict with In r. She managed very well, always had what she required and was quite independant. She was married, hut lived apart from her husband.

The remarkable results given *. ?) Mrs. Annie Kellar, of 115 Murphy Street, Greenvville, S. C. ,by Tanlac , were described in her highly interest- - ;- J ing statement, of which the above paragraph is a part. Continuing, Mrs A Kellar said: "l suffered from indigestion and .18 stomach trouble particularly, which I had for about eight years, and d failed to find any medicine that would .JH break up the trouble. I suffered a great deal with pains in my stomach ul and chest after meals and also a burn- H ing sensation. Gas formed on my stomach almost all the time. I had headaches so badly that I could hard!y endure them at times and my ..# nerves were on edge. My appetite had left me and 1 did not eat anyhing hardly. 1 hud to be very care'ul of what I <1 id eat. ."aj "Then I began taking Tanlac be-' -vj cause I had heurd so much about the ;ood it was doing others in Green-^ ,-ille. The Tanlac made me better almost from the start and I improved rapidly in every way. 1 gained tweny pounds in weight and the Tanlac .rave me a grand appetite and I soon vns eating anything I wanted. The headaches were broken up and my lervis strengthened. My strength vns increased greatly and I was alnost a different person. "Tanlac is a good medicine, the >est 1 ever took, and I cannot praise t too liberally for troubles like I had. I shall always take Tanlac when I have ailments for which Tanlac is 'ccommended."
