''T'll never forget Tanlac, for it re-

suffered until thought nothing in
the world could help her." said

"I'll never forget the friend that
told us about Tanlac. either, for it
was one of the greatest favors any
enc ever did me. It's been over
year now since my wife took Tan
lac, hut it did it's work so well she's
still feeling fine and thinks like do
that there is nothing like this medi-
cine. Her troubles started with an
awful cold which developed into
pneumonia and pluersy and left her
in such an awful condition she could
not take more than teaspoonful OF
nourishment at time and many
times couldn't even swallow that
much. I took her to the hospital,
where she was operated on and stay
ed for twenty-five days. But she
came home in as bad fix as ever,
and we both thought she never would
be we'll any more.
zone night friend called to sec
us and told me not to be discouraged,
that Tanlac would help her. Well,
l didn't sleep any that night from
thinking about Tanlac and what my
friend had said. Early the next
morning I went down to the drug
store and got a bottle of Tanlac, and
before the end CT the week noticed
change for the better in my wife's
condition. She began eating. and by
the time she finished her fourth
bottle she was doing all her house
work. After taking six bottles, she
felt so well she stopped taking it.
She picked up twelve pounds in
weight and said she felt as well as
she ever did. I've never seen her
looking better than she does right
now. Just give me Tanlac, and you
can have all the other medicines"

p NJ. Buckingham
Commits Suicide
Recently Elected Head OF
Bank of Western Carolina

Barnweli, Oct. ls.-This COM
munity was shocked this after
noon when it became known that
Perry NJ. Buckingham, president
Of the Bank of Western Carolina,
was found dead in his room at his
home here by members of his i'm
mediate family, who had been at
tracted by the report of a pistol.
There was pistol wound in his
right temple and the following
note was. found clasped in his left
hand: PRESIDENCY forced on me
against my will. Nervous system
shattered by strain Of new work.
Brain numb. Not over four hours
sleep a night for weeks. Insanity
stares me in. face Something has
broken in head today. Fought
hard to hold grip. Everything
slipping in nerves. Am doomed.
Just one month ago Mr.. Buck
ingham was elected president of
the Bank of Western Carolina,
which has branches in eight towns
in this section. The elevation to
this position from that of the Barn
we'll branch was over his protest,
as hew as an i'll man at the time,
although only his closest personal
friends realized his true physical
condition. During the short time
that he was active head Of the in
stitution he reduced the banks in
debtedness over S230,000 and
leaves it in excellent condition, but
the constant application TO his du-
ties proved too, much of strain
to his overtaXed powers Of resis-
tance, with the tragic ending OF
most useful life this afternoon.

The Lexington
Murderers
Lawyers Think Kirby Cannot
Be Executed Until Resen-
fenced

Columbia, Oct. 14.-That S. j.
Kirby, one Of the murder trio in
the death house Of the penitentiary
under death sentence for the mur-
der of William Brazell. Columbia
taxi-driver, will not likely die on
the 21st. week from today, the
day set for electrocution, is opinion
of the leading attorneys of the cap
ital city, and while officials have
not spoken officially on the subject,
it seems to be the official opinion
as we'll. The attorney generals Of
fee will likely be asked for an
opinion on the question.
Kirby's counsel, A. D. Martin, Of
Lexington, gave notice of appeal to
the supreme court, shortly after the
verdict was rendered against the
three men. A few days later,
however, after a physician had de-
clared Kirby to be sane, the lawyer
made public statement to the ef-
feet that he would not perfect the
appeal. The opinion is held here
however, that this notice that he
would not perfect the appeal does
not cancel the effect of the notice.
It is believed that before Kirby dies
in the electric chair now, he will
have to be taken to Lexington and
re-sentenced.'
Jesse Gappins' appeal will be
perfected, according to a state
ment made by T. C. Sturkic, his
lawyer. This appeal has not Us
yet been filed with the supreme
cou. t, because Of the fact that Mr..
Sturkie has not been able, he says,
to get a copy Of the testimony in
the case, the court stenographer
being busy in other courts. 1t is
not known yet what grounds Gap
pins appeal viii be based on.
c. o. Fox viii, it IS expected, die
in the chair next Friday. A Pc
tition, signed by about 800 residents
Of the Pacific Mills community
here has been filed with the gov
ernor, hut it is not considered like
ly that the chief executive will
honor it. This petition asks that
Foxs death senence be reprieved
for as much time as Gappins and
Kirby will be allowed to live, pend
ing the outcome Of their appeals.
