What do you mean by carrying q
pistol in your stocking?' the court
asked Corinne Brady.
"Ah neber had it in nah stocking"
Corinne snarled at the court; "Ah
had 1t tied to NAH garter"
Corinne said that her beau, Claude
smithfield, had informed her on their
last meeting that he intended to
wiring her neck
We won't be so rude to Corinne to
tell had the cops knew she had the
gun. 1t wouldn't be fair to the lady.
Nevertheless she had it and as far
as we know Claude was going to get
"his'n' when he met up with her.
II Corinne hadn't gotten into an
argument with another woman, also
a friend OF Claude's. we wouldn't have
known anything about her.
But Corinne talked so loud and made
so many threats that she was taken
to the lookup.
Anyhow the cops prevented a mur-
der. because from the way Corinne
acted in court she surely would have

on him.
The court fined her S5O-which she
didn't have

Seven additional survivors were
officially reported tonight. reducing
the departments list OF those not re-
corded as saved to about $50. The
Associated Press list of the unre-
ported, made up by the checking
both official and unofficial advices
against the Tuscania's passenger list
was reduced to III.
The war department is exchang-
ing daily long cablegrams with the
embassy at London in an effort TO
complete the survivors roll and un-
tangle names garbled in transmits
sion. In spite OF the fact that only
some 26O Of those on the passenger
list are officially unaccounted for

names of survivors which II has
been unable to decipher. About 40
of these are supposed to be duplica-
tions and as many more are names of
men of whom there is no record.

TWO NEGROES DROWN
IN WILD CAT CREEK
Went i'm With Wagon Loaded With
Household Goods and Were
Swept Down Stream.

The Monroe Enquirer carries the
following story:
George Strain, colored, and his
son lost their lives several days ago
in Wild Cat Creek. near Tradesville,
S. c. The two men lived alone in
Lancaster county, S. c.. the wife and
mother having died some time ago.
They were tenant farmers and de-
cided to move from Lancaster coun-
ty to farm in Chesterfield county
They loaded their few household
goods on one-horse wagon. tied
their two cows and two dogs behind
the wagon and started to their new
home. When they reached Wild Cat
Creek, the swift current of which
they did not know, they drove in.
The COWS broke the slender ropes
with which they We're tied and es-
capped. Men, mule, dogs and wag-
on were swept down by the ice cold
waters of the stream and the young
er man was drowned. The old man
reached the bank and crawled out
on the land, but was so numbed by
the cold that he died few feet
from the water. The dogs wee
drowned, but the mule escaped and
week after the men were drowned
was found in Mr.. George McManus'
pasture with shafts and front whee's
of the wagon hitched to it, The
mule was nearly dead from expos
ure and lack of food. The men had
been dead a week before they were
found and ii was mere chance that
man out hunting found the body
OF the older man and after the body
was found inquiry revealed the facts
above stated. The neighbors of the
two men supposed that they had
reached their new home in safety
and the owner of the farm to which
they were making their way sup
posed that the weather was too bad
Tor them TO move. The COWS went
to farm house and were impound-
ed, the man who impounded them
having no idea that their owners
were drowned and indeed not know
ing whose they were.

SOME BOYS CHOSEN FOR

List of Those Composing Ust South

Camp Sewer, Greenville, S. c.,
Feb. 1.-THE names of $40 men of
the Thirtieth division who have
been selected for immediate service
in France and who have already left
on the first leg of their journey
across have been given out by the
military authorities. The men are
skilled mechanics and tradesmen of
all sorts, and were selected from the
division at large, so as not to deplete
too much the skilled personnel of
any particular organizations.
Sending of the $40 men com
p)etes this particular draft. and no
further depletion of the divisions s
strength has yet been authorized.
Recently instructions were received
to compile list of names of COM
petent stenographers in the division
who would volunteer to go across at
once but no order for such men has
yet come in.
Although all of these men have
already left here, and have even ar
rived at their immediate destina-
tions, it will probably be some little
time before they are sent overseas.
and they will probably first be
grouped with similar drafts from
other camps. Among those who have
gone are:

DOUBLE ENDORSEMENT
Knew TanIac Would Help Him
Greatly When He Began 1t,
And He Tells Details.

Cases in which two or more peo-
greatly benefited by Tanlac that
they have offered double endorse
ment of this famous Master Medi-
cine are common. When you see a
person relieved of suffering and
made strong again, it is the most
natural thing in the world for you
to want the same benefits. This is
how Charles +. Whitmore, of 103
Bradford ST., Albany, n. Y, hap
pened to take Tanlac.
My wife, who had been all run
down and nervous and getting weak
er right along, began to take Tan
lac" Mr.. Whitmore explained.
We'll, of course, / watched the re-
suits, and it was wonderful to see
the way it built her up. On four
bottles she gained fifteen pounds.
had been doubtful about Tanlac, but
that settled me. When started
Tanlac l could hardly eat one good
meal in a whole week. From suf.
fering with a bad stomach / had
become nervous and restless at
night and all run down. Instead of
digesting. my food would just lie
like lead on my stomach and sour
and ferment and form gas. Be-
cause l had sour stomach-acid
tnr oh
gotten sore. l could not sleep rest
fully, but would wake up every
hour or two and would roll and toss.
/ was tired in the morning, and by
mid-afternoon l was so tired out it
seemed / couldn't get through the
day. l had lost all ambition. and I
did not care. Seeing what Tanlac
had done for my wife encoura ged
me to take it, and / was not sur
prised when 1t began to brace me
up right away. 1t did as much for
me as it did for her. l slept right
through the night, woke up rested
with a good appetite, and was able
to enjoy my meals. My food digest
ed, and the gas, bloating and sour
stomach disappeared. / felt like a
new man, and the old tired. worn
out feeling went with the rest of
my troubles"
When Mr.. Whitmore's stomach
became weak, his system probably
began to clog with waste matter.
/ What he needed was good system
purifier, stomach tonic and recon
structive, and Tanlac did the work
for him he saw it do for his wife.
and as it has done for countless
thousands.
