MERITONE ONLY
THING TO help
Nervous Troubles of Seven Years
Gone and She Now Sleeps
Soundly:

t'For seven years I suffered and
I couldn't find a thing that would
help me but one bottle of this new
medicine, Meritone, has made me
feel like a new person." said Mrs.
Mary Arledge, of 90S Union Avenue,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
/ Nervousness was my chief trou-
ble," Mrs. Arledge continued. 81
dreaded to go to bed at night because
I couldn't sleep. I just tossed and
rolled about the bed all :ght, and, of
course, when morning came, I felt so
badly could hardly get up.
"Meritone was recommended so
highly that finally I started taking it.
Zone bottle of Meritone has done
me more good than any other medi
cine 1 ever tried, and has made me
feel like a new person. The nervous
ness has left me entirely and I can go
to bed at night now and sleep soundly
until morning. The tired, WORKOUT
feeling I used to have is all gone and
I feel good all the time"
Mer:tone is sold exclusively in Bam-
berg by Mack's Drug Store.-adv.

Yet.

A jealous excise officer was sent to
Ireland to try to locate several
"moonshine' stills which were known
to exist.
Meeting native, the excise officer
approached him, saying:
''I'll give you five shillings, Pat, if
you can take me to a private still.
"Troth, an will, Sir" was Pats
reply, as he pocketed the money.
"Come with me-"
For many weary miles over noun
tain, bog and moor they trampleo,
until they came into view of bar
racks. Pointing to a soldier seated
on a step inside the square, Pat said:
There you are, sir, my brother
Mike; he's been a soldier for ten
years, an he's private still. Vim

NEGRO is SAVED FROM MOB.
Action by Sheriff Averts Threatened
Lynching.

Savannah, Ca, Feb. 15.-After
threatened iynching in Claxton, Ca,
early this morning when twenty-five
or thirty angry men stormed the EV-
ans county court house and shot out
many window panes, Andrew Jones,
an aged negro, who was saved from
the mob through the efforts of Sheriff
r. w. Rogers, was brought to Savan-
nah this morning in an automobile.
The negro had been taken into the
court house by the sheriff for safe
Keeping as there is no jail in the coun-
ty. The trouble started about mid
night when the men demanded that
the officers release the negro into
their custody. When the sheriff re-
fused they opened fire but none of the
shots took effect. J. G. Rogers, broth
er of the sheriff, T. l.. Nevils, N. H.
Hodges and H. N. Lewis assisted the
sheriff in trying to disperse the
crowd.
According to the story told by the
sheriff, John Horton, a young man
and a companion named Kemp, ap-
preached the negro on one of the
principal streets of Claxton and be-
gan beating him. They accused him
of turning up party of moonshin-
ers and knocked him down when he
denied this. AS a result of the row
Horton received a wound in the right
side. It is believed he will recover.
Later the sheriff placed the negro
under arrest and took him to the
court house about 10 o'clock Satur-
day night. Two hours later the mob
attempted to force an entrance at the
door. Early Sunday morning the
sheriff succeeded in getting the negro
into an automobile, arriving here a
few hours later. The negro is being
held at the county Jail.
