champion sweet potato of the season,
easily won by Robeson and her thrifty

Tiooeson county neice looks after her
own farm operations and is the lucky
possesser of fifteen bales of cotton and

of corn and is still gathering corn. She

causes.
Mr. Mills was an able and efficient
preacher of the Bible. In our Sunday
schools, as teacher off the men's Bible
classes, he made a lasting impression
on the hearts of the pupils. Mr. Mills
not only preached the gospel ofChrist
from the pulpit.but in his
dailv walk he lived the gospel of
Christ. He proved himself to be the
crowninc work of God's creation, a
"MAN." He was a man ''among mien
and a man whom men delighted to
follow.
To all good causes he gave liberally
of his money, his time- and his talent.
At the time of his death, he was serv
ing as the chairman of the committee
of Rowland township, for the Liberty
Loan bond. He also gave mucch and
valued work in filling out question
naires; here he made a lasting
impression on all the colored people
who came to him and was admired anr
loved by the ccolored people also. On
the day of his death all the flags on
the public square floated at half mask
in honor and respect for him. He will
be greatly missed by the entire com
munity. In the church courts he was an able

Stomach Trouble.. "I am Now
Free of all Pains," He Ex
claims Joyously.
Rheumatism is in itself a terrible dis
ease. The pains are excruciating and
the discomfort is distressing. Imag
ine then a person having to undergo
the pains of rheumatism and in addi
tion to this, wing afflicted with the
terrible torture of stomach disorder.
Such has indeed been the experience of
Mr. G. P. Puckett of 1014 Buncombe
street, Greenville, and now, after hav
ing found relief from both these terri
ble ailments, he gives permission to
publish his experience and
the story of how he found relef so
that other sufferers might read and
profit accordingly. Here is his story:
"I was so full of pain I could " hot
work or sleep. Rheumatism of the
joints and stomach trouble made life a
constant misery for me until I was al
most ready to give up in dispair.
When I sat down at the table I couldn't
eat a thing. .When I went to' bed "at
night I couldn't 'sleep. I tried several
so-called remedies for rheumatism an
stomach trouble but it was not until I
tried Dreco that I experienced any' re
lief whatever..
"I am still on the first bottle of Dte-
- i .
drags or dangerous mineral chemicals,
It does its work quickly and efficiently
by going right straight to the CAUSE
of the trouble and building from the
bottom. Dreco is sold and recommen
ded in Lumberton by leading Drug

After Suffering Twenty-five Years
She Takes Tanlac And Gains
vTwenty-nine Pounds Not Like
Same Person
"My wife has gained twenty nine
pounds and now we just set back and
talk about the happy days Tanlac has
brought us," writes L. A. Beaty of Sel
mer, Tennessee in a letter, dated July
18th, to the Tanlac offices.
"I just, want to say that I have no
doubt that Tanlac has saved my wife's
life," his letter continues, "and. now the j
future looks bright as silver dollars to
us. Twenty-five years ago she was
given up to die and I have been told ev
ery year since that time, that she
couldn't live. I have tried everything
traveled all over the country with
her and spent great sums of money,
but nothing did her any good. She had
run down to where she weighed only
seventy-six pounds.
I saw Tanlac advertised, bought it
for her and she soon 'commenced to
pick up, and now she weighs one hun
dred and five pounds has actually
gained twenty-nine pouds. I wish you
could have seen her before she took
Tanlac and then see her now, wouldn't
take her fo rthe same person. Be
fore, she couldn't do Anything, but
now she does all her housework and
tends to her flowers and a yard full of
chickens besides.
"I can prove what I say is true by
my county officials and lots of other
good people. You may know it makes
me feel good to see my wife well and
enjoying life after suffering for years
and I honestly believe that Tanlac is
the best medicine on earth. I'm just a
walking, talking booster for Tanlac be
cause of what it has done for us and I
have been the cause of many others
taking it. Later on I may tell you how
I happened to pass an old friend's
' house and recommend it to him. He
had given up, but he's o. k. today.
This can be proven too. Well, I could
write columns and then not tell half.
But let me say again I believe Tanlac
