TRAVELLING SALESMAN
AFRAID To LEAVE HOME
Often Had to Refuse Better
Paying Positions.
HELPED BY TANLAC

1T would be hard matter to esti-
mate the good Tanlac has done me-"
said w. Day Barrett, 2613 Burroughs
street, one of the best known men in
Savannah. Mr.. Barrett has been a
city salesman in the grocery line for
sixteen years, and his enthusiasm over
Tanlac is no surprice to the many
friends who knew of his previous con-
dition of health and now realize what
it has done for him.
"pve been little better than g.
nervous wreck for three years." he
continued, "and have been treated by
no less than fifteen doctors right here
In Savannah. l was forced to turn
down better paying jobs, travelling, be-
cause l was afraid to get away from
home in this condition, and at times
| was actually afraid to go out on
the street, was so weak and shaky.
II suffered with headaches and neu-
ralgia and my stomach was in bad
condition all the time and it seemed
like l couldn't get anything that would
set me in order or enable me to di-
gest my food. l couldn't eat any
thing that wouldn't sour on nv stom-
ach and give me pain or make me mis-
cradle. was thin and had very little
strength. In fact, the least little ex-
ertion would exhaust me and l was
hardly equal to anything. I would
have pains in my back and joints con-
tinuallY, and would be so nervous and
exhausted at night couldn't sleep at
all. l would often have to take slim
ulants to enable me to keep on going.
zone of the doctors who treated me
suggested that try Tanlac and see
what it would do in my case, and be-
sides that, close personal friend
begged me to take it. So l started in
on it about a month ago, and I
couldn't tell you in week how glad
| am that l got it, for it's the very
thing. haven't taken but two bottles
yes, but I've actually gained severaa
pounds in weight and it's simply pick
ing me up and getting me over every
one of my troubles just as fast as it
can. AS said before, there is no es-
timating the good it has done me. 1t
is great medicine beyond all doubt
and l am going to keep on taking it
until there is no chance of these trou-
bles coming back on me-"

NEW HOPE

New Hope, July lit really
seems as if the sun is going to shine
for us this morning, which will be
welcomed by everybody after all this
flood of water, but we surely ought
to be thankful that it isn't any worse
for reports of other sections say it
has done lots of damage. The farm
ers surely have been in a gloomy state
but hopes are that prospects will soon
be better.
Mr.. jeff Brown had the misfortune
to lose a fine cow by being struck by
lightning the other day.
Mr.. Justus filled his regular ap-
point at New Hope Sunday afternoon
at which time he delivered forcible
and inspiring sermon, which was en-.
joyed by all.
The protracted meeting, which was
to begin the 4th Sunday will be post
poned to the first Sunday in August

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose Days
Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute
for dangerous calomel. Take spoon
full and if it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nausested tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson,s Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.

A LETTER FROM O. X. KIRBY.
political ADVERTISEMENT

To the Voters of Union County:
l thought would write you all a
few lines to let you know where
came from. I was born tx miles
west of Jonesville up on the Forest
and when I was five years old we
moved to the mill and worked in the
mill for 15 cents a day and we stayed
at the mill until / was 10 years old
and we moved back to the farm and
then / got to go to school. finished
the seventh grade in a graded school.
and when l was II years old my faith
er and mother died and l had to dig
for myself. Then came to Jones'
vile and went to work in the knitting
mill and l stayed there good long
time and l have been working in the
mill most all the time since with the
exception of two years. / ran a truck
farm for Mr.. o. A. Swygert. l don't
deem it disgrace to work in the mill.
1t is an honor to work anywhere l can
make an honest living to support my
family and be honest to my fellowman
ord that by my being elected to the
office of coroner would disgrace the
good name of the Office wouldn't run,
for | wouldn't do that for anything.
AS far as my opponents are con-
cerned, have nothing against them,
for we are good friends and I hope
we will end that way for haven't any
rocks to throw. If there are any
thrown somebody else will have to
throw them, for I am not going to,
for that doesn't belong to me. l have
always tried to build myself up and
not go down. I don't want you to
think because I work in the mill that
/ can't run the job l am asking for.
If / wasn't sure l could run it / would
be bad boy in asking for it but
everybody that knows me knows that
can run it and I want everybody to
know that / can run the job. | want
you to think that there are mill men
in three Offices now. There is Sheriff
j. Hay FAINT, M. M. Johnson and L.
B. Godshall and they have all made
good and why can't / make good. I
just need chance and give it to me
and there isn't anyone who will thank
you more than I will.
l thought I would write this for
there will be lot of people that won't
get to come to the speaking and they
do get to read the papers and you
know there are so many of us in the
race that we won't get to, say much
for they won't give us time to say
much.
Well, / will close for this time.
may come again.

The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1916-07-21

The havoc wrought by the rains and
floods throughout Union county has
put upon our people, all of them, a
heavy burden. Crops have been dam
aged greatly. Bridges have been de-
stroyed. Roads have been seriously
impaired. But, with all this, so far
as we have been able to learn, not a
life has been lost. That is something
for which we may be profoundly
thankful. We can and will rebuild our
roads and bridges; our farms can and
will be restored, even if the present
crop should be seriously injured. There
is nothing to hinder US from regain
ing all we have lost and going on to
even better things than we have ever
known. Let us remember that every
day cannot be "a winner" There
must be some defeats, some failures,
some retreats. But no man with true
grit and courage is whipped until he
is dead.

THE BOY IN KHAKI.

All eyes are turned upon him,
AS he walks along the stree,
His proud set head uplifted,
The firm tread of his feet,
His arms from belt depending,
His hat with jaunty flare,
His soul in him evulting
As all turn round to stare.
'Tis not grim side of warfare
Its suffering and its death,
The hardships of its living,
The hot flames of its breath,
But all its pomp and glory,
In him we see arise,
Which make the boy in khaki
\ hero in our eyes.
May peace be still our portion
Is prayer that comes from all,
That on the field of battle
Not one of these shall fall.
But if his country needs him
We know he'll fate defy,
And go-our boy in khaki
To conquer or to die.

ITEMS FROM CAMP MOORE.
Camp Moore, Styx, S. c.,
July IL, 1915.

July IL, 1916.
Dear Mr.. Rice:
| have been expecting to telegraph
you every day like l promised that
we had orders to move but up to the
present no orders to that effect have
been received. Since my last letter
there have been rumors that we were
going to Fort Moultrie, Florida and
to California and so you can easily
see how much we really do know
about the matter. / do know, though,
that they ordered us to send our suit
cases home and that everything is
ready to move if necessary.
The water we have been using has
not been filtered and as a natural re-
suit there have been several cases of
fever. Luckily none of the boys in our
company were affected. The hydrants
are condemned and we are now using
pure country well water. The authori-
ties are looking into the matter and
are doing all they possibly can for
the welfare of the boys.
Our company went on guard at
| p. m. and off on Monday at 6 p. m.
|
of men, was ordered to guard the
tent with the money for the pay roll
and to allow no one to enter except
by the order of the major. AS the
money was at headquarters where the
officers transact their business many
were halted through the day and
amongst them was Gen. Moore, who,
after receiving admission from the
major to enter, turned and commended
Private Stroud on his very soldierly
behavior.
The cold drink stands were given
orders to discontinue selling cider
several days ago and two of the boys
from our company were sent down to
see if they could purchase a quart.
They were successful and the stand
was given about three hours to move
out. The government is the big stick
in Styx all right.
Mrs. E. R. Ashford and family Wis
tied Lieut.. Ashford yesterday. Their
small boy, Jack, is very proficient in
saluting and amused the boys a great
deal playing soldier.
have neglected telling you of the
"eats" but am going to tell you now.
On Sundays we have beef, potatoes,
coffee and light bread. Through the
week we have exactly the same. Some
menu. So you can easily see why
we boys are so friendly with the ones
who usually receive boxes from home.
Hoping that the next letter I send
you will be postmarked anywhere ex-
cept Styx, l beg to remain,
Yours sincerity,

PACOLET ROUTE 2

Pacolet, Route 2, July 17.-As
there hasn't been any news from this
section for several weeks I'll try to
write again.
A heavy rain, accompanied by a
strong wind, began Friday afternoon
and continued until about II o'clock
Saturday night, doing considerable
damage to crops, especially young
corn. Part of the dam at Kennedy's
mill and several bridges are reported
washed away. The roads are washed
so badly that in some places travel
is impossible. The clouds do not look
as if the rain is over with yet. The
farmers are very much disheartened; {;
crops are so small and the grass has
got such headway that they will not
be through laying-by for sometime
yet.
Mr.. Haden Genobles of Pacolet
spent Sunday night at Mr.. R. R.
Coleman's.
Misses Ida and Estelle Brown were
the guests of Miss Virgie Coleman
Sunday.
There wasn't any Sunday school at
Coleman school house Sunday after
noon on account of the inclement
weather.
Mrs. Berry Bland of Henrietta. N.

Mr.. II B. Bland.
Misses Victoria and Ella Jones of

LET US BUILD THE HOSPITAL.


AS we see it, our community will
honor itself in the nuilding of an
institution for the care Of the sick.
1t will, to our mind be bit of dis
grace for us to fail in the enterprise,
particularly now that we have made
repeated efforts to perfect plans for
the hospital. We must build it, and
we must build soon. In this issue
the present status of the enterprise is
shown. Read that article and then
ask yourself the question: "Do I
not owe it to myself and to my COM
munity to help this undertaking 2"
Make your subscription to the stock
of the concern just as large as you
can. Let us make one final, concerted
effort, and the hospital will be no
longer dream, but it will be fact,
tangible fact. Citizens of Union,
one and all come to the aid of this
movement. Take at least one share
of the stock, par value one hundred
dollars. 1t will be patriotic thing
" uo' Hhu, ~ 10 Well-eSIdDllSleu
fact that the institution can be con-
Quoted upon profitable basis. "Now,
or never" is the slogan of this cam
paign. If the Union people are un-
willing to invest in such an enter
prise, why, there is nothing else to
do but let it die. We will then be
under the necessity of paying tribute
to hospitals in other cities in the fu-
ture as we have done in the past. But
such a condition reflects discredit upon
the citizens of Union.
