Il am now able TO eat three square
meals day for the first time in two
years" was the emphatic statement
made recently by Joseph a. York,
well-known business man and highly
respected citizen of Portland, Maine.
II am now siXty-nine years OF age,
and in all my life | have never run
across II medicine that | consider in Il
class with Tanlac. | have just fin
ished my fourth bottle and this medl-
cine has benefited ne even beyond my
greatest hopes. Besides gaining six
teen pounds in weight, l have been
built UP and strengthened until 1 feel
all of twenty years younger.
For the past two years l have been
in Il miserably rundown condition,
and was compelled short time ago
TO give up all idea of business as
was too weak to look after anything.
L was nervous, WORKOUT, had no appe-
tite, and suffered most all the time
with Indigestion. Some days | would
eat scarcely anything; in fact l was
afraid To eat because / knew | would
suffer afterward. Sometimes / had
such severe cramping pains after eat
ing that l would almost die. Ny
nerves were all unstrung and the least
thing would worry me and | never
could get a good nights sound sleep.
In fact l just lost interest in every
thing and was greatly discouraged
over my condition.
1.-THE ordinary treatment failed to
do me any good, and as / had read so
many statements from people l know
here in Portland who had been bene
tited by Tanlac, l decided to give il a
trial. And now / know for myself
what it will do, for / have simply
taken Il new lease on life. / am now
able to look after my work as usual,
and never felt better in my life. l am
able to eat three hearty meals a day
and everything agrees with me per-
fectly. / eat anything l want and
never feel touch of indigestion. /
never thought there was n medicine
that could do me so much good, and
am only too glad to have the facts
about my case given to the public"

TSARIBROD: A REGION OF
RUMORS AND AROMAS

Serbian forces were reported few
weeks ago to have entered Tsaribrod,
hitherto OH the Bulgarian side of the
border, preparatory 10 occupation OF
a strip of territory detached from Bull
garia by the treaty of Neuilly which
followed the World war.
One traveller has described the road
bed. along this segment over which the
luxurious Orient Express used to
make it's semi-weeldy trip from Paris
to Constantinople, as the worst IN the
World; and the mountain scenery as
The finest. Probably both statements
we're exaggerated. But the r1vines,
bouders and torrential streams Of the
Nishava River region, just before the
railway crosses the Bulgarian from
tier, are comparable with the Alps and
sometimes suggest our own Grand
Canyon region in miniature.
Tsaribrod is inconspicuous. 1t shell
tiers a population of only few thou
sand. 1t has the inevitable castle,
which still seems To keep Il frOwning
guard over red-roofed houses. SiSnif-
icantly, in view of the economic life
of Bulgaria, and the recent marked
preponderance Of agrarlan represent
tation in the government, each house
has its garden.
After the Orient Express passes the
border line it traverses the Slivnitza
battlefield the Bunker Hill of Bull
garia; and the first important city
after Sofia is Philippopolis, in the vi
cinity of which one of the worlds
most ,esthetic industries is established
that of cultivating rose gardens to
distill altar of roses.
At PhilippOpolis, under pressure of
expected attacks from Turkey, Prince
Alexander was installed as the head
of the newly united Bulgarian states
I'm 1885. Unexpectedly it was Serbia,
not Turkey, which made the move in
protest against the union with eastern
Rumelia. The Serbian forces mobil-
lied in the Nishava valley; the Bull
garian army was far away. Hence a
famous order. which resulted in the
making of military history, to com
manders of Bulgar units to hasten to
Slivnitza. The speed with which the
troops were moved, in this helter-skel-
ter fashion, was remarkable. Their
movement was accelerated by orders
to citizens to furnish supplies as they
passed. The advance held the Serbian
forces, which we're headed for Sofia,
or Sllvnitza. When reinforcements ar
rived the enemy was defeated. The
Serbian armistice proposal was pre-
scented at Tsaribrod. This incident
gave Bulgaria a sense Of national
unity and prowess which may be com
pared to that which Japan attained by
her defeat Of the Russians.

Enormous Damage by Rats.

BLOCKADER PAYS UP


The county school fund is richer
by 1880, and a blockader is once
more free-but with a suspended
sentence sentence of II months on
the roads staring him in the face.
This man is Arthur DeBerry, col
ored.
On Friday night of last week
Sheriff Mcdonald with officers Bras.
well, Shores, Reynolds, Rogers and
Smith made raid on blockade
still in Marks Creek township,
about ;3 miles from the Scotland
county line. The officers found the
plant in full operation, with three
negroes at work They closed in;
the bloekaders took to their heels,
but one, Arthur DeBerry, was
caught. The other two escaped. The
still was OF 60-gallons capacity, and
consisted of a steel dye barrel,
though the worm was of copper.
Four gallons >of whiskey had just
been made.
The captured man was brought
to Hamlet and locked up. On Sat
urday morning. Recorder Leigh
heard the case, and fined DeBerry
81, 500 in the blockading case, and
gave him a sentence of IL months
on the roads in the keeping for sale.
case, but suspended commitments in
the latter case pending good be-
havior. DeBerry at once got the
money, paying into the recorders
court the full amount in bills.
One of the two who escaped was
recognized is being Azariah Coving-
ton. He came to Hamlet Tuesday
and gave himself up, but was re-
leased under $500 bond for his ap1
pearance on September 10Th for trial
before the Hamlet recorder The
third blockader was not caught, but
no doubt will eventually come into
better acquaintance with the law.

POWER cURTAILED
Power Company Cutting Off
Current at Noon Today
from Mills. Start Again
Monday. Due to Low
Water and Drought.

The unprecedented drought
has caused the rivers from which
the Yadkin, Carolina and Pal
metto Power Companies get their
power, to such a low state that
these companies were forced
Wednesday to wire all the large
plants and mills that get. their
power from them that they
would have to cut it off at noon
Thursday. The power will be
cut off from noon today Thurs
day. until Monday morning, at
which time the mills will start
again and a sufficient head of
water will have been saved by
the three days curtailment to
enable power to be generated for
all of next week. And it it is to
be hoped that before another
week passes the drought may
have been broken.
The Carolina Light & Power
Co., has a large auxiliary system
at Raleigh, but the water famine
in Raleigh prevents those engines
being fired up now. Raleigh
simply hasn't enough water to
spare to furnish those huge boil
ers, and so no relief can be Sc
cured from that end.
Steele's, Midway, Hannah Pick
EFT, Entwistle and part of Great
Falls will have to close down at
noon today, and remain closed
till Monday. The other mill
either have their own water
power or have steam auxiliary.
| The order cutting eff power
from the mills does not apply to
the smaller local plants, or to.
the lighting systems.

DISCUSS PROMOTING
EDUCATIONAL MILK
CONSUMPTION DRIVE

The procedure involved in putting
on an educational milk consumption
campaign, was explained TO milk pro-
ducers and representative of some
civic organizations of Richmond
Thursday night. a. meeting in the
county agents office, by J. l.. Wann'
dairy specialist from Purdue uni
versity.
The campaign would be put on IN
the form of Milk Products FESTIVAL
extending over period of two weeks,
under the direction of a man and wo-
man sent from Purdue, and expert
enced in directing such work.
Silmar festivals have been conduct
ed in Goshen, Huntington, and one is
in progress at Shelbyville now, While
others this winter are scheduled soon
for Evansville, Terre Haute, South
Bend and Columbus. In case one Is

tory in the county, with demonstra

use of milk and dairy products.
