CHERAW MANS 81 YEARS
Of LONGING NOW ENDED.
w w SPENCER TELLS TOUCHING
STORY OF LIFE..TANLAC GIVES
NEW HOPE IN OLD AGE.

After waging seemingly hopeless
fight for health from the time he
graduated in 1858 at South Carolina
College, now South Carolina Uni
versity, at Columbia. until recently,
w w Spencer, a we'll known and
highly respected citizen of Cheraw,
tells in an open letter how Tanlac,
the master medicine, quickly brought
to an end his searc4 for relief.
Mr. Spencer graphically tells how
Tanlac almost "rejuvinated" him
in the following correspondence:
"Cheraw, S C, November 16. 1915.
"Mr Wingfeld, Columbia, S C.
Dear Sir:-I enclose you one dol
lar to pay for the extra bottle of
Tanlac you sent me. | paid for one,
and you sent two. for which, many
thanks. l celebrated my eightieth
birthday last Saturday have been
handicapped all my life by weak di'
gestion and nervousness, but by
prudence and absteminous living
have arrived at a good old age. But
| felt that my lamp of light was
burning out rapidly; my digestion
was poor, my sleep was broken and
unrefreshing, when / hit upon this
tonic.
Since then | have improved Won
derfully. l can now eat almost any
thing with impunity, can even eat
vegetables for supper and get a
good nights rest. 1 feel at this
writing that l have new lease on
life. Thanks to the best medicine |
ever took (Tanlac).
Your Tanlac has been God.send
to me. Hoping you long and hap
py life, l sign myself. Yours truly,
"(Signe6 w w SPENCER. {"
Mr. Spencer was asked permission
to publish his letter and he replied
as follows:
"Cheraw,S C, November 20. 1915.
"Mr T w Galyon, Columbia, S c.
Dear Sir:-In complying with
your request, will state to you
some facts and leave it to you to
make out a decent certificate.
Il graduated at Columbia in 1858
with my health a perfect wreck.
The doctors told me l had nervous
prostration, liberated stomach and
chronic gastritis. l couldn't keep
water on my stomach long enough
to get warm, but by prudence in
diet and regular habits, l lived along
but never regained my youthful
vigor.
Early in the fall, l felt my health
failing, became constipated. had
sleepless nights with most fantastic
dreams, no appetite and poor diges-
ton. Then saw your ad, and when
the first bottle was gone, | began to
take notice that something was 60
ing on. l have used four bottles
and feel wonderfully improved-al-
most rejuvenated. l sleep we'll, ap-
petite and digestion good, and l
even get hundry. which l seldom
ever felt before, and am always glad
when meal time comes. My liver,
stomach and kidneys now work in
perfect harmony.
Il don't crave publicity, but if
you think my experience with Tan
lac will be of any aid to suffering
humanity, l am very willing that
you make the best use of it you can.
Hoping you success, and with
kindest regards, l am very respect
fully. (Signed) W w SPENCER. j."

MYSTIC SHRINERS,

A large number of the members of sphinx Temple, Ancient Arabic Order NobIes of the Mystic Shrine, of this state are planning to attend the forty first annual council meeting in Seat tie, Washington, beginning July 13 Many thousands of Shriners will at tend and with the departure for the West on the first of the special trains carrying eastern and southern Shrin- CTS an immense caravan will be set in motion which will not terminate until July F, the day before the Im- perial Shrine gathering.
 The caravan will have three distinct lines of travel. one touching at Den yer, Salt Lake City and San Fran cisco and moving northward along the Pacific Coast; one passing through Chicago and St. Paul and then striking due west to Glacier Park and Yellow stone National Park and Spokane, and third turning into Canada after leaving St. Paul and crossing the con- tnent through the Canadian Rockies
 At least thirty special trains have already been scheduled through St. Paul. Fourteen of these will com prise a special escort for the Imperial Special, bearing Dr. Frederick R. Smith of Rochester, N. Y, across the continent from St. Paul to Seattle
 The temples which make their pill grimage by way of the southern route will almost without exception return by the northern, thus giving the east erners an unexCelled opportunity to view much of the West. Most of the organizations will consume an entire month in their travels.
 Many important matters will come up for consideration, and before ad- journment the meeting place for 1916 probably a middle western city-wil be selected. J. Putnam Stevens of Lewiston, Me. deputy imperial poten- tate, will probably be elevated as inn perial potentate during the season.
 One of the features of the council will be the souvenirs brought from Point Barrow, the northermost point on the North American Continent, a distance of 5000 miles to Seattle. there to be given to the wives of the delegates. The gifts will be unique in convention annals, having been transported to their destination by five different methods.
 From Point Barrow on the Artic Ocean they were carried to Nome on the Gering Sea by reindeer, a distance of 1000 miles; thence to Fairbanks by dog sled. another 1000 miles;
