NOTICE.

To the Citizens of Union County:
Since many applications were made
to the undersigned delegation from
Union county in the general assem-
bly, for Recommendation for appoint
ment as Master we deem it only right
and proper that they and the public
should know that the delegation was
not consulted in any way in reference
to the recent appointment of Master
for Union county. The appointment,
so far as we know, was made by the
governor merely upon the authority
the law gives him. We make this
statement without criticism, but for
the reasons stated.

CATTLE TO TAKE
THE PLACE OF COTTON

Mr.. Fred Jones, secretary of the
Sumter County, Alabama Livestock
association, in a letter to his local
paper, "Our Southern Home" shows
that cattle may be made to take the
place of cotton. He states that in 20
days $45,000 of cattle money had
passed through the banks of the town
OF Livingston, three-year-old steers
selling for an average of S64 a head,
two-year-olds for $52 per head, and
calves under year old for $40 each.
One train load of eight cars consisted
of high-grade Hereford, Angus and
Shorthorn steers weighing from 900
olnds to 1,410 pounds.
He closes his article with the fol-
lowing pertinent question which all
farmers in the sections recently in
tested with boil weevils should con-
slder carefully before answering in
their farming operations:
Can we afford to attempt to
grow one bale of cotton worth
$oo on ten acres of land, when
we can grow ten steers worth
5000 on the same land? The
farmers of Sumter county have
tried the first-now let them get
pure-bred beef bulls and good
native cows and try the latter"
AS throwing light on the situation
IN Sumter county, and the same ap-
plies to the other counties recentiy
infested that are in the southern half
OF the Cotton Belt, the following gin
ming report obtained by the govern
ment is significant: "The govern
ment cotton ginning report shows s12
bales ginned in Sumter county up to
October IS. Up to the same date last
year, 1915, the number was 2,816
bales."-The Progressive Farmer.

Charleston Railroad Man Declares
That at Last He Has Conquered
His Troubles.

"Tanlac has done a great deal for
me. Since l began taking it I have
gained ten pounds in weight and do
not suffer with any of those distress
ing ailments and I am steadily i'm
proving in health and strength"
In these words, w. II. Lewis, n
Southern Railway section foreman, of
Al Drake St., Charleston. summed W
the great relief Tanlac, "The National
Tonic" had given him. Mr.. Lewis
statement follows:
"My system was generally run down
and out of tone before l began TAX
ing Tanlac. I was a sufferer with in
digestion and nervousness. I had con-
tended with indigestion and stomach
troubles for about twenty-five years
and it seemed that nothing I took
would give me permanent relief, and
generally I failed to get relief. /
have taken great many different
medicines and have been treated by
physicians, but l continued to suffer
with my stomach.
"Gas formed in great quantities on
my stomach and / was troubled
great deal with pains around my
heart. At night I was very restless,
and my sleep was broken and unre-
freshing, and I was up and down all
night long. Pains in my abdomen
also added to my troubles and dscom-
forts.
81 was subject to severe attacks of
nervousness, and when my nerves were
in that condition, any noise, if it con-
tinued a while, would almost drive me
crazy.
"The Tanlac advertising had caught
my eye, and finally I decided to take
it. even if so MANY other medicines
had proved disappointing to me and
he'd done a lot to, kill my faith in
medicine. But Tanlac proved the ov-
crptiOn to this rule. Tanlac has done
a great deal for me. I have gained
ten pounds in weight and ! do not
suffer- from any of those distrcesing
AILMENTS as ! did. Nv annette i
rood and [ DIGEST what I eat and
do not have those pains after catin-
as I once did.
"Mv nerves were Guietcd by taking
the Tanlac, and | was also imnrovod
so much that I can sleep we'll now and
! feel much better and more refreshed
in the morning now than used to.
In every way | feel a whole lot better.
my wife also took Tanlac, and it
gave her just as satisfactory results
as it gave me.
81 am glad to recommend Tanlac.
because of the results it gave my wife
and myself. Tanlac has been of great
benefit to both of US, and l highly re-
commend it,"
