TANLAC DID WHAT
 NOTHING ELSE HAD
 EVER DONE, HE SAYS
Felt Like a New Man Be- fore He Had Been Taking
 Tanlac a Week

"In less than week after I begun taking Tanlac T felt like a brand new man, and now l am as full of Vim and energy as if I had never had sign of the trouble that kept me in misery for two long years"
 The above remarkable statement was made a few days ago by L. l.. How ard, well known expert automobile mechanic, employed by the Georgia and Carolina Auto company, 52o Mo- Kinney street, and who lives at 719 Eleventh (Ko1lock) street, Augusta, Ga.
 After every meal that I have eat en for the last two years I suffered agonies from Indigestion" he con- tinued.

 well, sir, this Tanlac did for me what nothing else could do, for think tried everything on the market but didn't get any relief. I began to en- joy my meals after the first few doses and now I am almost afraid I can't afford to eat as much as I want. My but I have gained five pounds ill weight and am still gaining every day.

"As the destroyer dashed across .he line of bub bles, a depth charge was dropped and a column of clear water shot 30 feet into the air The destroyer turned to the right, swiftly circling and her starboard guns opened on the peri scope as she came around to cross the U-boat's wake again. Again column of clear water showed that the depth charge had not reached it's mark.
 Another quick turn to the right brought the starboard guns to bear but this time the destroyer turned so sharp ly that she was able to come down for the third attack in the wake of the sub marine. The third depth charge brought up column of clear water. and the de- stroyer wheeled once more, this time to the left and all the port guns opened up, but without visible result
 The last time the destroyer came down to the attack exactly in the wake of the U-boat and ceased firing. As she neared the end of the line of bubbles the fourth depth charge was let go and there followed widespread boiling If the surface of the sea, large bubbles and at last heavy film of oil.
 'The destroyer spent sometime looking for further traces of the U-boat. but none was found. She then proceeded on her course. The engagement lasted 22 minutes

 Testimony at the coroner's inquest this evening showed that the Enzor fam fly had been sheltering a negro. Alto Simmons wanted for holding up an old man Thursday. The officers went to the house armed with search warrant and Enzor and his sons began firing be- fore the officers left the automobile.
 It was testified to that the Enzors were all drunk. The coroners jury brought in noncommital verdict exonerating Prof. L. H. Hudson of taking any part in the shooting, but placing no blame on any of the dead men.

CLEAR DAY; CALM SEA

"The following account of the engage ment was prepared from the complete re- port receoved by the navy departments:
 ''The American destroyer first sight ed the submarine in the early morning of clear day. The sea was entirely calm with hardly ripple of foam. The submarine was running submerged with only her periscope showing. A large number of merchant ships were in sight The U-boat was less than a mile off the port beam of the destroyer and following a parallel course, in an opposite direc- tion, when the periscope was discovered. It was throwing up a column of water several feet in height, so like a nearly spent torpedo that the officer of the deck thought for moment that this was what it was.
 The next instant the destroyer changed course sharply to the left and headed for the U-boat at full speed At the same time the forward guns opened on the periscope. The commanding off, cer ordered course steered that would bring the destroyer across the wake of

AUSTIN ISSUES STATEMENT

Warden Connie W. Austin in a state ment to an Age-Herald representative yesterday said: "The improvement in system which I have. had under con- sideration for sometime, that of plac- ing prisoners charged with crimes of the same nature or seriousness in sep arate divisions has been made, and am sure will reduce to a minimum the chance of a prisoner charged with serious offense passing in and being tried for some minor one.
 T have discovered by further in : vestigation that Day Warden Rives was not wholly responsible for the escape, but that through the further disregard of my instructions by Roy Huey night warden, the escape was facilitated to some extent and l have been compelled, for the sake of pre- caution. to dismiss him also. No crim- inal neglect can be charged to either of these gentlemen, but only the dis regard of my instructions. I will ap point their successors tomorrow (to day), but am unable at this time to make their names public"

At that time Hardly was standing on the platform of the car near the mo- torman and near two other negro men and a negro woman who were on the car at the time he boarded It. Deputy Smithson walked toward Hard ly, who had his back toward that slde of the car, and seized the back or ms coat. Hardly immediately reached after his gun. a Smith & Wesson .S2-calibre pistol. which was in his hip pocket, and wanted to offer resistance, but realizing that with both deputies ne had no chance, he surrendered and then made a complete confession Of tbe crime at Hanceville, according 10 tbe reports of the two deputies.
 He also related the details or hls escape. which were alike in practl- cally every detail with the theory ad = vanced in yesterdays Age-Herald, that while Day Warden Rives was locking up the three other prison CTS in his tier and had his back turned he slipped unnoticed into the main part of the jail and from there through to the jailyard and late in the night made his escape over the wall facing on Fourth avenue.

Death of the Gordon Baby Boy

AS the result of deplorable acct
dent, Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Gordon
of Veatch Grove. had the misfortune
to lose their baby boy, last Sunday.
On Saturday evening, the little
fellow fell into tub of hot water
setting on the kitchen floor. Mrs.
Gordon saw the accident almost NJ
soon as it happened; grabbed the
boy, and got his clothes of, and did
everything possible to ease the little
fellow. DR.. Montgomery was sum-
moned and ministered 30 the boy. but
despite the application of all known
remedies in such cases, the boy passed
away at half past two o clock Sunday
afternoon.
Examination showed that the scald-
ing was not sufficient to cause death,
and the doctor WAS of the opinion
that as the little victim had fallen
into the tub back wards, he had pro-
badly sustained injuries to his spine,
and nervous shock, which was the
main cause of his death.
John Herbert, the oldest of the two
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon,
would have been two years old had
he lived till March. He was a bright
and winsome little cap, and the be-
reaved parents have the sympathy Of
the community in their loss.
The funeral services were held
at st. James church, Tuesday after
noon.
