WIFE SUFFERED
FROM INDIGESTION
Fur IWEAIY YEARS
GEORGE w. SCRUGGs MAKES SOME
REMARKABLE STATEMENTS
ABOUT WIFE's CONDITION.
SPtNT $4,000 FOR MEDICINES
ut May Sound Unreasonable And You
May Believe Me or Not, But Have
Paid Out the Above Amount" Says
Scruggs.

1T may sound unreasonable and you
may believe me or not but during the
past twenty years | have paid out in
the neighborhood of five thousand d0L
lars for medicines and treatment for
my wife, who has been in poor health
all these years." said George w.
Scruggs, prosperous farmer who lives
on his 350-acre cotton plantation at
Germantown, Tenn.
Eyes, sir, my wife has been a suf-
ferer from serious Indigestion for at
least twenty years" continued Mr..
Scruggs. She has been in wretched
rundown condition, and was always
complaining of feeling badly. She
couldn't eat much, but the little she
did eat would always cause pains TN
her stomach. She had headaches and
it just looked like every bit of her
strength was getting away from her.
She was dreadfully nervous and didn't
know what it was to get good nights
sleep, and she would get up of morn
ings feeling worse than she did when
she went to bed the night before. She
lost about all the energy she had and
couldn't take interest in anything.
She tried doctors and about every kind
of medicine that was made, / reckon.
but instead of improving she seemed
to be getting worse all the time.
"But thank goodness that we have
found the right medicine at last She
began taking Tanlac short time age
and she is like different woman now
After taking just one bottle of this
medicine she began to gain strength
and improve in every way. Her sleep
began to get restful, her appetite
picked up and what she ate gave her
strength instead of having bad after
leffect as in the past. For the first
time in fifteen years she can now eat
anything she wants-such as cabbage.
onions, corn, tomatoes and the like
don't hurt her a particle Her nerves
are quiet and her whole system is
improved. She looks and says shG
feels like a new woman. She is full
of life and energy, and l never hear
her complain any more of feeling bad
She thinks Tanlac is the gradnest
thing in the world, but she don't think
more Of it than | do, for no one Ia
more happy over her marvellous recov-.

COLLIER VS.. ga.
JOHNSON SUIs1.
CASE OF MT. PLEASANT FERTEs'
LIZER CO. vs. L. G. N. r. r. co.
Is COMPROMISED.

One of the two cases on docket fer
trial in the circuit court today was
disposed of without coming to trial,
while the other has been in progress
since the morning session and Will
probably not be concluded until to-
morrow.
The damage suit for $1,000, between
the Mt. Pleasant Fertilizer Co. and the
L. & N. R. R. Co., was compromised
between the attorneys for each side
the plaintiff to pay all costs.
The case of B. E. Collier vs.. Jim
Johnson, for the recovery of damages
for the killing of a calf belonging to
Collier, and for which Johnson is 40
cused of being the direct cause, has
been under discussion during the whols
days session. Attorneys Salmon and
Shelton are representing the plaintiff.
while Attorney ]. C. VOORHEES, is acting
in the capacity of the defendant. Col
lier claims that his calves got over
into the field of Johnson and Johnson
becoming enraged, struck one of them
thereby causing it to die. Johnson
contends that he very gently drove
the calves from his field, but that be-
fore he had discovered them on his
place, they had eaten enough to be-
come bloated, and that the calf came
to his death by bloating. Testimony in
the case will be concluded this after
noon.

NEED AN EXPERT.

The crying need Of the Democratic
party is an expert To make all the
explanations that the public calls for.
and which II cannot avoid paying at
tention to from now on until the
votes are cast in November The
general public is developing very
irritating curiosity as TO the way In
which the promises OF 1912 and
1918. so bravely put forth by the
party, have been carried out. 1t is
curiosity OF "A persistent kind that
Is very annoying in presidential
year, and all the fuss about Mexico
and Germany has not been effective
in making the people forget that
there are domestic question to con-
sidcr in making up their minds as
TO who shall be entrusted with the
direction OF the government for the
coming four years. The party will
have to submit reckoning during
tho coming months, but in the mean
time II is trying TO fix the books
The first nine months OF the Under
wood tariff demonstrated conclu-
sivoly the utter failure of that meas
urc, even with the fortunate inter
vention OF war conditions to set up
an ephemeral degree OF prosperity.
The war tax followed to bolster up
the deficit in the treasury caused by
the falling Off OF revenues from Gus
toms, and the war tax has been not
only a nuisance. but an entirely un-
necessary direct imposition on the
people themselves The irritation
caused by this measure is well real
i2cd by the politicians and they are
ify this unpopular policy. But the
burden will not be lifted, only In ap-
pearancc, for 1t will be shifted
around SO that direct taxation will
become indirect and the hardship of
one class Of people will be put upon
another Besides this outrage, the
condition of the treasury has been
falsified by cunningly devised reports
that were calculated to deceive any
but mathematical experts. And these
are only II few OF the things they
will have to explain.

PEACEFUL INTERVENTION.

We may say what we please in
we can never settle the Mexican
question without Intervention. but
there is one feature of this case that
will bear looking into. We may not
be called upon to undertake the re-
sponsibility of going into Mexico with
military force and establishing a
stable government there. but it is a
forcgone conclusion that no govern
mcnt will survive there that does not
have our moral and financial sup
port. This is not dreaming, but is
an unavoidable responsibility that
we must shoulder This is one Ques-
ton that is not settled by the con-
ference of Scott and Obregon. and it
must be met or else we will soon
have n return to anarchy and have
all our troubles to go through with
over again. II was all very well for
us to recognize CarranZa politically.
We have had doubts Of the wisdom
OF the selection, but it has been done
and next thing we should make the
best of ii. our recognition gave him
a moral support that enabled him
to acquire power he never could
have gained without it, But ii was
only half the battle. after all. None
of the financicrs OF the United
States shared the presidents conf
dence in Carranza, and without their
help he is soon bound to come to
disaster. Mexico is bankrupt and
her currency worthless Unless the
administration at Mexico City can
have financial backing it can never
restore its people to unity and pros
perity II will only be matter OF
time until new leader will arise
and oust Carran2a, and matters in
that revolution torn land will be
worse than ever before. IL We really
believe Carranza is the man to re-
store Mexico, and IL we believe il
should be done peacefully. We shall
have to do for him in financial
way what we have declined TO do In
a military way. IL he is worthy to
be trusted with the government of
his country. he is also worthy to be
supported in dollars and cents.

MUST BE EXPECTED.

The issuing of bonds in time of
peace for the purpose of paying gov
crnmcnt expenses Is Enthusiastically
"A Democratic procedure. We hav >
learned to expect it, and would be
surprised II 1t should happen other
wise. IT matters not whether the
one or bad one, somewhere along
the line the Democrats must call for
bonds. Cleveland did IL. and Wilson
Is getting ready to follow suit. The
army bill with which congress is
having such a hard time and which
the president is urging for enact
ment, contains "a provision for an
expenditure of SIS, 900, 900 for the
establishment Of waterpower plants
for the manufacture of nitrates to be
used in the production of munitions
and the manufacture of fertilizers
The money is TO he procured by the
issuance and sale of that sum in
canal bonds. The canal it will be
remembered. was constructed at a
cost running into the hundreds of
millions and was paid for largely out
of the current receipts of the treas
ury, as provided in the wise revenue
laws for which the Republican party
stood sponsor. In effect, the Repub-
licans built the canal out of the
small change in the nations purse
But when the Democrats want to
raise s15,000,000 they have to fall
back on the bond eXpedient. 1t may
now. but 1t awakcns that old feeling
that Democratic administrations and
bond issues are inseparable evils 1t
is not question whether the in
tended expenditure is a wise one or
not, but il must be humiliating to
the leaders of the party and a source
OF distrust in the eyes of the people
that this old habit must bob up
again. A bond issue was confidently
predicted as one of the results of
Democratic attempts to run the gov
ernment. and here II is staring us
in the face The only slip in the
calculations is the possibility that
the nitrate measure may be unable
to make its way through congress
for it is meeting with strong oppo-
stion.

The stately Address of Deity.

A religiously inclined friend asked
Us the other day whether he was right
IN feeling that the ancient form OF ad-
dress Thee" and Thou" in calling
upon the Deity in prayer was more
fitting than You" We should saw
decidedly yes. rhc latter term has
always seemed to us to convey an i'm
preston of overIamiliarity. The an
Cient form, now reserved solely for
use in prayer, carries with il q spirit
OF reverence that one cannot lose
without robbing heavenly converse =
ton Of It's finest attribute. Stateliness
Of language Is one of religions finest
essentials. This is why the King
James version lives alongside the
more accurate translation, the Amcri-
can revised version. 70 many devout
Eible students, the revised version is
read with the other as a commentary.
hut the old translation has the advan
tage of having been written in pc
riod when dignity Of expression was
more completely mastered than II ever
has been since and these readers feel
that any change other than that de-
Inanded by actual error of translation
takes from the sacredness of the scrip
lures. The minister who understands
that the secret of worship is the Crea-
ton of spiritual atmosphere, VIII be
slow to change forms OF language that
add to the dignity of the service by
substituting expressions which offend.
