GOES TO FRANCE
AS CORRESPONDENT

There will be some real, intimate,
personal stories from our boys over
there soon. The Gazette Times has
sent member of its own staff, Charles
J. Doyle, to France to get it. He is on
the ocean now and unless something
unexpected happens will soon be writ
ing the news that we all want to read.
Nh Doyle does not go to France as a
free lance" He has been accepted as
regularly accredited correspondent
by the War Department and is TO be a
member of the Headquarters Staff of
Gen. Pershing. This arrangement will
operate to lessen the delay experienced
by those without such credentials.
Real "home news" is what The
Gazette Times is to get from Mr. Doyle.
He has not gone to report battles nor
big military moves. He is to get III
touch with Pittsburgh boys, the lads
from this vicinity and from Western
Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West
Virginia He will write of their init
mate personal life. There is nobody
better qualified. He is a Pittsburgh
boy himself, has been on the staff OF
The Gazette Times for years, most of
the time in the sporting department, the
very place to get acquainted with the
soldiers now in France. He has
played ball with them, as we'll as writ
ten about them, and his friends are
legion. He will be q real intermediary
between the boys over there and their
folks back home.-Pittsbilrgh Gazette
Times, Oct 3.
Charles Doyle is brother of f. M,
Doyle, Of this city.

Germany Would Give Up What She Is
Raoidly Losing Anyway

LONDON, Oct 11-Germany's reply
to President Wilson, according to an
Amsterdam dispatch, will be Germany
will evacuate Belgium and France pro-
yiding peace negotiations are started in
neutral country before evacuation IS
completed and provided allies will give
assurances that German territory, in
cluding Alsace-Lorraine and Polish
Prussia. will not be demanded.
There is nothing that allows a glim-
mer of peace in that expression. AS
far as evacuating France and Belgium
is concerned, the German soldiers are
doing that now as fast as their "Gott''
and legs will let them.

brought out by the consideration of
the resolution and resolution re-
questing the resembling of the order
sent out from the tax commission
was introduced and passed. The
reason given in the resolution of
the legislature was that the increase
in assessment would be too violent
a change in the practice of the State.
Following upon the acceptance of
the resolution by the general assem-
bly, the tax commission decided to
reduce the basis OF assessment to
the usual Az per cent used in form
er years. The letter Of the tax
commission to the auditors and
boards of assessors of the State is
as follows
The general assembly of South
Carolina during its present session
adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, the tax commission
has announced that it will require
all property assessed at SO per cent
OF the valuation thereof, and
Whereas. we consider the same
would be too violent a change i'm the
practice of the State in such case.
and
Whereas, the gross inequalities
OF the assessment OF values of prom
erty cause great injustice which
should be corrected.
Now. be it resolved that we re-
quest the tax commission to use
every means of equalizing the as
sessed values of property for taxa
ton on an equitable basis.
Now. in conformity with the
wishes OF the Legislature, the tax
commission has decided to reduce
the basis OF assessment from so per
cent OF the value OF property to AZ
per cent thereof, to conform with
the basis OF assessment heretofore
adopted by the tax commission in
the case of bank stocks and other
corporations coming under it's iu-
risdiction.
we, therefore. instruct you to
consider the circular of December
29, 1917 amended, so as to strike
out the words and figures so per
cent Wherever the same occurs, and
to insert in lieu Thereof the figures
and words ~ per cent. so that the
basis of equalization for the present
year shall be AZ per cent of the true
value Of all property.

WIFE HAPPY over
HIS BIG APPETITE
Mrs. Rogers Appreciates Hus-

Cooking.
ONCE SUFFERED MUCH
MIR. Rogers Suffered Long With
Stomach Trouble But Was
Restored by Tanlac.

My fine appetite certainly pleases
my wife. for she is a good cook and
likes to see me enjoy my meals
said III. M. Rogers. Of los Budd
ST., Elmira, N. Y, in story for
men. and women, too, who have a
finicky appetite and cannot eat the
fine, nourishing meals that are set
before them
For a while" Mr.. Rogers ex-
plained, Il couldn't eat any solid
food. l was continually bothered
with gas and bloating that made me
feel as if i were going to burst. My
breath would come short and |
would have stuffed up, suffocating
feeling. 1t seemed to affect my
heart. My stomach was so sore
could hardly touch it, / kept doc
toring and trying remedies. but got
worse instead OF better. While
was suffering so I kept hearing of
a new medicine, Tanlac, and COM
menced to take it, / didn't get any
ieiei iioHl tne nrSt bottle, and
said to myself, 'Stung again, but
people told me to give it a fair trial.
and so l kept on. In a little while
then l began to improve. After my
fourth bottle l felt fine. The old
appetite came back; did not have
any more gas or bloating or suffocat-
ing spells. and my stomach and
whole system were toned right up.
That is all true" declared Mrs.
Rogers. "Tanlac worked wonders
for him, and we are glad to tell our
experience to everyone 1t is no
use to doubt this Tanlac; il does the
work"
Tanlac is the Master Medicine for
ailments of stomach, liver and kid
