AND THE
SOUTH CAROLINlANS

The following is taken from The
Brooksville Star (Brooksville, Fla.)
edited by Chas. j. Cappleman, for
merly of the Press and Banner:
Inc Tampa Times made use of
a near-humorous paragraph few
days ago and was the recipient of a
gentle call-down by South Carol
ma lady over the phone. In an edi-
torial the Times says in part:
"Having read a near-humorous
paragraph in the Times in which it
was stated that colored woman was
'gwine back to South Ca'lina' in or
der to get out of the world in case
the United States went to war, a pa
triotic South Carolina woman called
the editorial writer of the paper by
telephone and informed him in a
pleasing voice and manner that South
Carolina is certainly in the world
and that her men are fighting men.
4 like Florida and / like the Times
and it's editorials, but there is no
state in the Union that can surpass
South Carolina, real American
state
TO this. declaration we heartily
agree-and then some. Founded
principally by French Huguenots
who sought for a place in which to
worship God after undergoing fear
full prosecutions, it is natural that
South Carolinians of today are indeed
worthy of their ancestors. The
spirit that is protecting France to-
day-the spirit of democracy and
chivalry-and it can't be beaten.
Our hat is off to South Carolina,
South Carolinians and the charming
but unknown woman who champions
them. ,
Floridians, salute your beloved
brothers and sisters of South
Carolina!
They're kingly and queenly ad-
herents of Uncle Sam and the more
we know of them the more we love
them"
Having spent some two. years in
South Carolina ourselves, in which
we travelled from the border line of
the Old North State to Georgia, and
from the Mountains to the Sea, we
heartily agree with the lady that
South Carolina is "in the world" and
that no better people can be found,
not even in Old Virginia, than the
folk of the Palmetto State. South
Carolina once led in national thought
and produced many prominent men.
This same spirit prevails today, max
ing her people worthy sons and
daughters of their ancestors, gener-
Gus, enterprising, public spirited, pa
triotic.
Many of our Florida people
either came from Carolina originally,
or are descendants of that people
and make excellent citizens of their
adopted State. We agree, chats
off to South Carolina"

Soap has the ability to clean
clothes but you have to make soap
do its work by hard work On your
part, just as the driver has to make
. the horse haul the load.
Borax, harnessed on soap, makes
the soap do more work and cuts
down the amount of labor on your
part.
Every up-to-date housewife knows
the value of boraX, but many do not
realize that it cannot be combined in
proper proportion in bar soap; only
: in the form of borax soap chips. The
proper proportion is one part borax
and three parts soap.
This amount of borax certainly
e. makes the soap sit up and take no

with less work on your part than 5Oc
worth of soap powders or bar soap.

e. c. COOPER DECLARES TAM
LAC wS PROFESSIONALLY
THE BEST THING EVER
TRIED"

The Tanlac office is simply being
flooded these days with letters of en-
>,dorsement from we'll known men
and women from all parts of the
.. South. In the past three days tes-
!i1uonials have been received from
H. W. Hill, well known tennessee
Bank President; Hon. 3. L. STEAD,
superintendent Of schools OF Carroll
County, Carrollton, Ga, and many
others prominent in commercial and
professional life. The last addition
80 the list being C. C. Cooper, Pres
ddent of the Georgia Home Cotton
fOil Co., of Lawrenceville, Ga.
Mr.. Cooper aside from being one
Of the most prominent business men
of his home town, is well known
throughout this section of the coun-
try. Mr.. Cooper's unquallhed EN-
- x3ors ,ment is, therefore, to be con-
.sidered of great Importance and the
oublic will undoubtedly be much IN
::terested in what he has to say. Mr.
. Cooper said:
"For seven or eight years, at least,
] have suffered from a very PAD
form of stomach trouble, from whlch
I have been unable to obtain the
slightest relief. For months nave
been in very badly run down con-
dition, and suffered endless annoy
.ance from bad digestion, severe
headaches, nervousness, and loss OF
appetite.
"Not until I began taking Tanlac,
.Lor+ +;noo aoo have I been able to
notice the least Improvement in my
.rondition, in fact, Tanlac is the
.nnly thing that has given me any re-
lief, and I expect to complete the
,fuli treatment of six bottles. 1t is
: .upuuestionably the best thing. OF its
: i,ind l ever tried, as I am greatly
auproved in many ways. l heartily
recommend the preparation to my
friends. This shows what l think OF
+ it"
Commenting on Mr.. Cooper's
statement, T. w. Galyon, State
Agent for South Carolina for Tan
::aac, said: Hundreds of such state
r. nnents are reaching us from all parts
. and it is indeed gratifying to see
that so many people are using Tan
iac with such splendid results.
"The fame of the medicine is rap
idly spreading over the entire coun-
Try. Thousands everywhere are be-
ing benefited and beyond all doubt
nothing has ever been placed on. the
market in the way of proprietary
medicine that has attained such i'm
mediate prominence and widespread
popularity.
'Over one million bottles of this
celebrated medicine was sold in nine
. months time, and it is unquestionably
>ahe most widely talked-of medicine
IN the world today. The greatest
evidence of its merit is the fact that
!. those who once buy the first bottle
Invariably continue the treatment
and recommend-it to their friends"
