Cures Nervous Troubles and

Mr.. w. T. Nelson, president of
the Second National Bank, of Jack

ton and nervous trouble, / would
rather give up any remedy than
Kings Royal Gcrmctuer. As a
nerve tranquilizer and restorative,
it is all that can be desired. 1t is
not narcotic in any sense, but
produces the hnppicst effects upon
the disordered nervous system. l
consider it an spvaluable remedy,
and have for several years been
recommending it to my friends"

been failing for Il year, and he had
not actively discharged any OF his
public duties for several months. He
was born in Columbia Sept. 3, 1891,
and was therefore just a little more
than 81 years old. He attended the
schools of Columbia, but when mere

after clerking for IL time in Columbia
he went to Charleston, where he was
engaged in the mercantile business
Ia that city MIR. Mclaughlin, at II
years of age, took employment in the
mercantile house Of Caldwell, Blakely

keeper in the Bank OF N CIV berry. from
which position he rose to that OF
cashier. In 1859 he left tho bank and
engaged In mercantile business in New

in the l4th regiment, S. G. w., and was
selected by Quartermaster G. FL. Suber
for his clcrk. On the transfer of Major
NouoSi StkllJ LII lOoo, NlI. NlCSduS llFlu
was made Quartermaster Of the regi-

resigned from the treasury, and was
appointed adjutant Of the I4th regi-
mont, S. G. ", McGowan's brigade,
and was on duty at the surrender at

After the war he engaged first in
mercantile business at Ncwberry. In
1871, on the organization of the Ma

He possessed a wonderful mind and an
