Would Not Stoop to
Pick Up the Money
"I HAD ABSOLUTELY LOST ALL
INTEREST IN EVERYTHING"
SAYS MRS. WOOTEN,

"I had gotten in such bad health
that / did not take any interest in
anything before took Tanlac, and
I often told my folks that if I should
see money on the floor I would not
stoop to pick it up,", said Mrs. T. M.
Wooten, of 153 Morgan Ave., Green
vile, as she began to tell how Tan
lac had changed her condition from
that of almost an invalid to a heal
thy, strong happy woman. Mrs.
Wooten's statement follows:
'T suffered from a complete ply
sical breakdown, and the after ef-
fects of a long drawn out spell of
malaria. I was very weak-soj weak
that I was in bed at least half of
every day, and I did not try to do
any of my housework for a rather
long time. My appetite had left me
and it seemed that l didn't want
anything to eat and I couldn't find
much to tempt my appetite. I
could not sit up long at time, and
l had absolutely lost all interest in
everything.
81 had been in very bad health
for two or more years and/I sure
was sick person, too. l had begun
to wonder if I ever would get well,
or even a little stronger, and / could
tell by the way my folks talked that
they had lost hope of me ever getting
we'll again.
Tanlac, and I began taking it. I
took six bottles and I have gained
at least twenty pounds in weight. I
sure was skin and bones when I be-
gan taking Tanlac, but I am heavy
enough now and / feel like new
person.
"Tanlac did me great deal more
good than all the other medicines I
took put together, and I certainly
did take a lot of medicine before I
took Tanlac. The Tanlac gave me
good appetite almost from the
start and soon I began to improve
right along in health and strength,
and now am able to do my house
work and my ironing and l am
strong and hearty. I give Tanlac
all the credit for getting me out of
bed and on my feet again, and no
one can fully understand how much
Tanlac did for me unless they had
seen me before I took it, and 1 had
been almost an invalid for two
years before I took Tanlac and then
I only had to take six bottles to get
my strength back.
"I certainly can give Tanlac the
highest praise, because it changed
me from an almost bed-riden inva-
lid to strong, happy and hearty
woman" 80. :.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How to Loosen, a Tender Corn
or Callus SO it Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women
who are pestered with corns and
who have at least once week in
vited an awful death from lockjaw
or blood poison are now told by a
Cincinnati authority to use a drug
called freezone, which the moment
few drops are applied to any corn
or callus the soreness is relieved and
soon the entire corn or callus, root
andall, lifts off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is
applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without infaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little atany of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callus. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get it
at any wholesale drug house for you.

Last Meeting of the.
Confederate Cabinet

personal friend of Major Burt's
and was his guest, were entertained
at Mr.. T. C. Perrin's. At about
four o'clock in the afternoon of the
day they were in Abbeville the
members of the Cabinet met at
Major Burt's and discussed the ex-
pediency of continuing the strug-
gle. After mature deliberations
they decided that it was best not
to do so. The President was not in
favour of this conclusion and was
much overcome in consequence.
Major Burt took him by the arm
and led him to his room. My sister,
Miss H. C. Perrin, with several
other ladies, went to Major Burt's
with the hope of meeting the Presi-
dent and having a hand-shake. They
were in the room opposite to the
one in which the Cabinet meeting
took place, and saw the President
when he came out. He sent regrets
at not meeting them, pleading a
severe headache as an excuse.
I will be much obliged if you will
make the correction, and please say
that it was at my suggestion; and
you will further oblige by sending
me a copy of your letter.
It is always a pleasure to hear of
your continued good health and to
read your letters in The Press and
Banner.
Yours with respects,
S. E. White.
Mrs Georpe White. Sr.)
The above letter settles the ques-
tion-puts an end, too, to the claim
made by Washington, Georgia, that
the last meeting took place there.
The mistakes in history are due to
the fact that the stream is not
kept clear at it's fountains head.
Mrs. Whites letter makes this i'm
portant event clear at its very
source.
The true, trustworthy history of
the Southern Confederacy, that
shortlived nation which
"Rose so white and fair,
And fell so pure of crime"
has not yet been written. We are
too near that time of tragedy for
literary perspective. The momen-
tous events are too recent and real
to be softened and subdued by his
torical impartiality. The genera
ton who were the actors therein
must first pass away before the his
torian can calmly judge those four
years of joy and sadness, hope and
despair, triumph and final failure.
But when that history comes to be
written, the little. town of Abbeville
of '6O-'65, will have place in
the picture, as having been the
scene of the first mass meeting
that voted for Secession, and, of
the last meeting and dissolution of
jefferson Davis's Cabinet. And
Mrs. Whites letter will be the chief
authority for the last. : :,
In the hall of the St. Andrews
Society of Charleston the Secession
Convention was held and the Ordi-
nance of Secession was adopted:
That memorable hall was destroyed
in the fire which laid waste the half
of Charleston in '61. had thought
that fire had also destroyed the
house in which the Confederate
Cabinet met for the last time.
am truly grateful to Mrs. White for
her letter which establishes the
fact that the scene of that last
meeting still stands in old Able,
ville-not the Perrin house which
was burnt, but the Burt house.
Long may it stand.

DECISION TO SELL ENTIRE CAN.
adam WHEAT CROP TO GREAT
BRITAIN IS REACHED by
COUNCIL OF AGRI.
CULTURE

Ottawa, March 15-The Government
has received word that the Canadian
Council of Agriculture, meeting at Re-
gina, has decided that the whole
wheat crop of Canada shall be taken
for the British Government,
The price to be paid, 1t was decided,
should be, for No. Northern at VIM
nipeg, a minimum of $3.50 and a Mex
imum of $1.9O a bushel
An optional suggestion is $1.7O fiat
at Ft. William for grades from No. /
Northern down, to be valued accord
ing to milling tests. The British Of
fer was $1.3O at Fl. William.
1t is understood that the Dominion
Government will handle the business,
buying from the farmers and insur-
ing transportation to seaboard,
Australia's wheat crop was pur.
chased last year by Great Britain, but
the shorter voyage from Canada to
England is understood to have
prompted the British authorities to
buy in Canada this year instead of in
Australia.

my kidneys have been out of order

About War Saving Stamps

people to think about cutting out
useless expense. Premier Lloyd
George was quoted to this effect:
Telling Slogans.

Another one that made many
Englishmen sit up and take notice
read:
Don't ride a motor-car for
pleasure"
And still another caused wide
comment:
ITO dress extravagantly in war

bad FORM
The American committee on
war savings expects likewise to
