ANOTHER LIQUOR FALLACY.

The old tradition that coal miners could exist with
out alcoholic beverages has been exploded in number of
states 1t was assumed when West Virginia went "dry"
the industry there would go to sticks. Some miners did
leave the state that for them had become desert Mine
operators complained of shortage of help The hard
dying liquor interests and their followers attributed all
the industrial ills to the closing of the saloons But you
don't hear anything of that sort now West Virginia is
normal so far as is possible in time. Coal is being
dug without the assistance of John Bareycorn Kansas
will have the experience. And other mining states
scheduled to go "dy in the future will add their
testimony against the necessity of liquor adjunct
mining. Adjustment to prohibition will be not at all hard
anywhere in the land if the people only make up their
minds there is no use resisting the laws Pittsburg

The McDuffie Literary Society.

With the beginning of another
school session the McDuffie Literary
Society has already been reborn to
newness of life, and is offering un-
excelled advantages to the boys and
girls to cultivate the art of
public speaking and reading.
The first meeting of the Society was
held on Friday the fifth. This was
the best beginning we have ever
had in literary work since the or
ganizatlon of the society and we
trust that the interest shall continue
to grow as the year passes.
The meeting was called to order
by the president. The roll was
called and to practically every
name there was a response. The
society was then opened for new
members and Miss Eloise Hart was
accepted as member Of the society
by a unanimous vote. The report
of the query committee was called
for and the chairman presented the
subject: Resolve that LaFolette
should be expelled from the United
States Senate. This l am sure will
furnish sufficient amount of argu
mentation for both the affirmative
and negative.
The program was carried out as
follows:
Declamation-Jim Porter.

Music-Ilene Harling.
Debste-Resolve that the press
should be totally free.
First Affirmative, Edwin Folk.
First Negative, Elwyn Moore.
Second Affirmative, Annie Mae
Culbreath.
Second Negative, Lydia Brunson.
The judges, Mr.. Claude E. Har-
ris, Miss Annie Sue Broadwater,
and Miss Francis Jones decided in
favor of the Affirmative. This is a
subject which is very debatable
and I am sure that the debators
made it so on this occasion, for Mr..
Folk and Mr.. Moore in turn gave
six rebuttals. Each having some
very fine points.
AS there had been no critic
elected, Mr.. Lyon was asked to act
upon this occasion. The criticisms
that he rendered could not have
been improved upon. Every par
ticipant in the exercise and in fact
every member Of the society will
say that he derived great benefit
from his criticism. Before the
meeting closed Miss Francis Jones
was elected critic for three months
term. AS there was no other busl-
ness the meeting adjourned.
We the members of the society
extend cordial invitation to all of
the patrons of the town to attend

Almost Like Miracle

Mrs. Evans Says Those
Terrible Spells Have

severe she believed herself on the
verge of the grave, Mrs. Ella Evans,
of Iva, S. c., R. F. D. 4, in June,
1916, had obtained SO much relief
from Tanlac that it seemed almost
like a miracle the way Tanlac
worked", according to her de-
scription. Mrs. Evans gave the
following statement regarding the
benefit Tanlac gave her.
II suffered from a very bad case
of stomach trouble for twelve years
before 1 began taking Tanlac, and it
seemed that no medicine would break
up my trouble. I frequently would
have terrible spells when my heart,
nerves and stomach would all get
out of order at the same time. l
suffered terrible pain then. l had
begun to fear I'd never be we'll again.
AT night I could not sleep well
and I was so weak could hardly be
up. Really it tseemed that my whole
system was out of order in every
way and 1 got no better, though L
had the best medical attention.
''Some of my relatives persuaded
me to take Tanlac. I have just
finished my first bottle and just a
short time ago ordered the second.
1 am great deal stronger now in
every way and I've not had one OF
those terrible spells since | started
taking Tanlac. My heart, nerves,
stomach, liver and bowels have been
regulated by the Tanlae. | have a
good appetite, too, now.
'The very first dose of Tanlac
made slight change for the BETTER
and in my case it seemed almost like
a miracle the way Tanlac worked.
In every way Tanlac has made my
health better and l am so happy, for
I believe l am on the road to re-
covery. sure will continue to take
Tanlac, for it certainly is wonder
full"
