SO badly In my arm and shoulder
that ! could hardly move. | was in
such pain that 1t was almost impos-
slble for me to get anything done.
1T had rendered me almost helpless,
and as nothing did me any good,
became very much distressed.
. cNIy wife kept insisting that Iigive
Tanlac trial, and l have been thank
full thousand times that I finally
took her advice, After l finished my
third bottle the rheumatism was
goro, and while that has been year
ago now, I've never had the least
trouble since. i don't know whai
Tanlac will do for others, but 1t GER
tailfly did the work for me-

FORESTS ARE A SEA OF SMOKE
Northern Minnesota DOTTED with Fire
Praying for Rain.

f.
Duluth, Minn., Oct. 5.--Northern
,Minnesota's forest area to-day con-
tinued a veritable sea of sombre col
cred smoke, dotted with fires, some
under control, some admittedly be-
yond control, and the whole threat
ening further widespread destruction
at the slightest provocation Of the
elements.
In st. Louis county alone there
were 105 fires burning, according to
tho latest reports
A call for help was sent out late
last night from Vineland, where II
was declared that the fire was out of
control, one settlers home burned,
and the entire town endangered.
Another call for help came from
Kelsey, where it was said the fire was
threatening $4,000 school build
ing. Women and children have been
removed from all Of the threatened
area, and personal belongings were
being either taken out or made ready
for instant evacuation.
There was no indication this morn
ing that the prayers Of the whole
north country for less wind and lots
Of rain would be answered to-day.

in answer to civil complaint that
CampbelD Courtenay had manipulate

ufacturing Company so rs to escape
Federal taxes, and that Us result
they were liable to the taxes as tho
purchasers Of the MILL The plaintiffs
IN the suit, who were Campbell Cour-
tenay and .he stockholders Of the
Courtenay Manufacturing Company,
moved before Judge Frank Gary
that the charge Of fraud be stricken
out Of the answer as frivolous. This
motion was denied
The suit in civil action was first
brough about, however, by Campbell
Courtenay and the former siockhold-
ers Of the mill, Of which he was tho
president. AS plaintiffs they sought
to collect $270,OOO in notes which
were alleged to be owed to them on
the purchase price of the mill by w.
l.. Gassaway and the Isaqueena stock
holders. Tho. mill was sold for 4
price Of $1,S00,O00. The attorneys
for Mr.. GassawaIy and tho Isaqueena
stockholders later moved to have the
suit placed in the hands Of the Mas
ter In Equity OF Greenville county,
and this motion was granted. In the
same action some sixty or seventy
other former stockholders were
named In the suit, which is still pend
ing before the Master. The suit, or
suits, involve the return Of the Cour-
tenay Manufacturing Company to It's
former stockholders, as the present
stockholders are contending that tho
mill should be returned to It's former
owners and that they be reimbursed
the amount paid thus far toward tho
purchase price.
1t was soon after this suit was be-
gun that Federal agents became act
i've in Investigations Of the charges
Of fraud and manipulation of the
books Of the mill on the part of
Campbell COurtenay to escape Fed
eral taxes.
The Indictment returned against
Campbell Courtenay to-day alleges
that he so manipulated the books of
the mill during the year 1913 that
they Showed an expenditure for cot
ion far in excess Of the real amount
and also showed profits far below tho
real and true profits OF tho mill dur
ing that year!

NEGRO KEPT HIS WORD TO GOV.
Granted Permission to Attend Func
raj Of Mother, Returns to Pen.
SaaoS hAsk ae1
(The State, 5th.)


Arthur Moss, negro, serving Is
years in the penitentiary from Union
county, proved to be a man Of his
word yesterday when he walked in
to the Governors office after an ab-
sence Of three or four days. Moss has
Eeen in the penitentiary three years.
Last week his mother died at Whit
/ mire and he made an urgent plea to
the Governor to be allowed to 80
, home for the funeral.
The Governor did not like the idea
at first, but after Col. A. X. Sanders,
superintendent Of the penitentiary,
and other prison officials had spoken
a good word for Moss, the Chief Ex-
ecutive granted the negro permission
to leave the penitentiary and 60 to
the funeral. Moss gave his solemn
word that he would report to the
Governor every day by telegraph as
to where he was, and this he did reg
ularly during his absence.
yesterday ne walked into the Gov
ernor's Office on schedule time and
thanked the Chief Executive for the
trust placed In him. The Governor
told Moss to report to the prison and
lie returned to begin Is years.
Several peculiar incidents result
ed from the trip Of Moss. The Gov
ernor had one Of his constables in
Whitmire last week and wired him
10 be on the lookout for Moss. The
negro did not know that The consta-
bic was there. But the best part os
/ the "follow-up" by the Governor Is
that the constable did not get the
telegram and was never on the look
out for Moss.

all that she had, and was nothing
bettered, but rather grew worse.
27 When she had heard of Jesus
came in the press behind, and
touched his garment.
% For she said, If | may touch
but his clothes, | shall be whole.
20 And straightway the foun-
tain of her blood was dried up I;
and she felt in her body that she
was healed of the plague.

81 And his disciples said unto
him, Tkou seest the multitude

80 But the woman feared acd

The policies that have been con-

The significant fact is that
this change in fundamental poll.

an increasing number of both

the war, but America is coming
with increasing power and help
fulness and despite the uncer-
tainty and timidity OF some OF her
pilots.
This attitude on the part Of
American pilcts is due to uncer-
tainty and t;midity on the part OF
molGers of public opinion who
were mislead in their judgements
in the early days of the Confer
ence of Versailles by inadequate
knowledge and information about
the affairs of other people of the
world.
But why should there be any
difference of opinion now on tire
part of journalists on a matter so
vital to our future happiness as
to transcend in Importance all
consideration of selfish interest
and petty politics? :.

strengthen the determination ol
the pilots and encourage them to
make America first-in truth
and righteouSneSs-as they would
have her first in commerce and
