Editor Press and Banner:
I wish to ask for space in your
columns to thank those who sup
ported me for Congress in the re-
cent primary. No man appreciates
more than I do the support which
was so freely given in that contest.
I think I might be pardoned in call
ing to, the attention of those who
voted for me as a source of pride in
their vote the results as shown by
the ballots of my home people.
Edgefeld county is my native coun-
ty, where I was born and raised, and
in Edgefeld part of Mccormick
county I eceived 327 votes to my op-
ponents lat. In Greenwood : city,
my home, I received $50 votes to
a combined vote against me of'335,
and in Greenwood county, received
1,458 votes to a combined vote
against me of 1,514. When it is
remembered that this is also Mr..
Aiken's old home, I feel justifable
pride in the above figures.
There is no sting in a defeat that
carries with it the testimony of the
regard and esteem of ones neigh
bors and whatever may be my fu-
ture in politics I will never receive
a vote that I will appreciate more
than 1 appreciate the votes given
me last Tuesday, aa8h hope that I
will never do anything in the fu-
ture that will cause any man to re-
gret the vote he cast for me then.
4 made my campaign on issues vital
to the people and sought to enlighten
and elevate the audiences to which I
spoke. Every man who runs race
wants to win and was no exception
to the rule, but in figuring the sum-
mer's work have no regrets. I ram
a clean race in a clean way and the
consciousness of it is worth more
than a victory unworthily won.
Respectfully,
H. C. Tillman.

the,
Spot!

Many people do not realize
what simple constipation> or
costive bowels will lead to if
not corrected. You wonder
why so many women and men
are sallow, have no. appetite,
I are dizzy, suffer with constant
head pains, heavy feeling, af-
ter eating, on taking slight
exercise have futtering heart
and tired, run down feelings,
80 per cent Of liver and stom-
ach troubles come from costive
bowels, constipation leads to
that most terrible condition,
NERVOUS INDIGESTION.
The bowels must have re-
stored to them their tone, and
regularity established and this
must.be done, not by: pills, calo-
mel and other laxatives, that
will only last for a time but
REGULARITY must be estab-
lished and DIGESTION RE-
STORED by a chemical COM
! bination of drugs that will
give a perfect digestion. WE
HAVE THAT PRESCRIP-
TION and make this proposal.
If you suffer from NER-
IVOUS INDIGESTION due to
faulty digestion a n d CON-
STIPATION, come to our
store, buy a bottle Of CINOT,
try it, and if your constipa-
ton, headache, loss Of appe-
, tite, heart flutter, dizziness,
do not disappear and you are
not improved, come back to us
and we will REFUND YOUR
MONEY. Take a common
sense view of our proposition.
Could we afford to make this
offer if we we're not sure that
our claims we're not right9
Ask for CINOT, the
king of Digestive Medi-
cines.

GOVERNMENT TO TAKE
>. WHAT COAL 1T NEEDS.

The United States government can
compel the railroads of the country to
move coal for its Departmental mat
ter what other uses the railroads
might think they have for coal cars.
The United States, likewise, is pre-
pared to enforce its power in this di-
rection unless the railroad companies
and the coal contractors of the depart
ments get busy and supply the coal
needed.
Further than this, the government
is prepared to take entire charge of all
coal that is shipped for it's use from
the time it is placed on the cars until
it arrives in Washington.
Likewise, it is prepared to secure an
immediate delivery Of all the coal it
wants at any time it want it, and to
supervise its shipment and store it
wherever it can be conveniently
stored.
These are the developments of the
day in the coal situation, and are due
to the work of the committee of chief
clerks of the various departments who
have been working under the direction
of Chief Clerk Wilmeth, of the treasury
department.
The discovery of a law which makes
possible for the government to be
placed in absolute>control of the situa
ton was due to the investigation of
Mr.. Wilmeth and his associates. The
navy department actually supplied the
law.

RECOMMENDS
TANLAC TO ALL
WHO SUFFER
c. c. BroughtOn, Brother to One Of
North Carolina's Sons. Tells
Thy Hes for IT.

Few sons of this grand State have
won greater distinction for them
selves and North Carolina than DR..
Len G. Broughton, Baptist minister OF.
international reputation. And not all
men of Troy. N. c., are held in higher
esteem than Attorney G. C. BrOughton,
brother to the famed Rev. Broughton.
Then. when Attorney Broughton
says: "I feel altogether a different
man since taking Tanlac and heartily
recommend it to all my friends and to.
those who suffer as / was. for it is a
great tonic" there can be no doubt as
to the really wonderful reconstructiye
powers of Tanlac.
''Since taking Tanlac," the popular
lawyer continued, indigestion has left
me, sleep is sweet and good can
sleep like a dead man now-and my
appetite is out of sight. I will con-
tinue to take Tanlac for, to my mind,
there is not a single portion of the
body that is not benefited by its help
Eful work.
'Tanlac begins it's action by stimu-
lating digestive organs, thereby en-
lriching the blood and inYigorating the
! whole body. In other words, it re-
lieves troubles by removing the cause.
Tanlac, to my mind. is a powerful re-
constructive tonic and contains GER
tain ingredients which purify the blood
and renovate the whole system. And
next it enables the stomach to thor
oughly digest food. allowing the as
simiIable products to be converted
into blood, bone and muscle. BY in
~creasing the power of endurance it
enables those who use Tanlac to bet
ter encounter fatigue, exposure and
overwork."
Tanlac is sold in Hendersonville
only at Hunters Pharmacy.
