lis, Pert. 9. Unique amone his
, i! show-places in the world on.l
,.1 for centuries on both continents,
, aiacomhs of Paris were recent '
.p.iuil to visitors, having been
six years on account of tha
celebrated tombs, undistubed by
inn visitation while the world wis
-v t-ghtinp above, have been a pop
r drawing point for the big influx
American tourists in Paris this sum
;. Long lines of Yankees from re,--:y
outside the gates the two after-
month the catacombs
are
noons a
open.
r-iZu Pac!? "nderground, in a labv
m?llirt' cJdM are skeletons of three
million, of Pans dead, neatly piled in
rectangular , stacks against the walls
cue passageways or cleverly ar
ranged in all manner of artistic pat
terns mosaics, and designs, giving ,hc
Interior of the death compartments an
atmosphere of the uncanny that would
be hard to duplicate.
Many -of the patterns were most elab
orate and cleverly drawn. On nno wn
was a huge spider, its body formed of
entuus, us legs 04 crossbones. On
others, skulls were grouped in beauti
ful crosses, against a background of
crossbones.
In a miniature chapel, built of bon.'V
sat a complete skeleton, on a bench
made of bones, his lower jaw dropped
in a devil-may-care grin. In anothe
compartment was a hearth, construct
ed from bones, with a mantlepiece of
skulls.
The catacombs owe their origin to
the .necessity of finding stone for the
building of Paris. They served as
quarries for years until, in 1784, a' gov
ernmental decree ordered the "evacua
tion" of several large public burying
grounds which had become, over-crowded.
The authorities began by remov
ing bodies in tombs where families hsid
failed to keep up the rents in France
most burial plots are rented, not pur
chased, as in America. The practir j
was repeated from time to time, un
til the catacombs became the dumping
place for all Parisian pauper burying
grounds.

TRYON TO VOTE ON
STREET PAVING BONDS
BY CHARLES MURRAY GILBERT
ATLANTA, GA., September 9. "Tanlac made me feel young-
or." "It put me back on the payroll." "I now have a fine appetite."
"I can cat whatever I want." "No more dyspepsia for me." "I
gained weight rapidly." These and scores of like expressions are
i now heard daily from ten3 of thousands, as grateful users of
I Tanlac tell of their experiences.
Leading drug men of the country are amazed at the tremen
I dous sales of Tanlac, and point out enthusiastically that nothing
has ever equalled the phenomenal demand for this preparation.
i v.- T
Tryon, Sept. 9. An election will be
held in Tryon in the near future to
vote on a proposed issue of bonds in the
sum of $60,000 to repave the city streets.
This was decided upon at a meeting
of the city officials Monday night. The
general sentiment among the ttax pay
ers is in favor of better streets and
it is believed the bond issue will carry
by a heavy majority- The exact date
of the election has not yet been set.
Due to heavy traffic during the sum
mer a number of the principal streets
in the city have become so badly worn
tnat tneir upkeep is a more expensive
proposition than it would be to re
build them and finish with a hard sur
face, either watebound or macadam
or penetrative asphalt.
An effort will be made to have the
work done as rapidly as possible, so
the connecting link of roadway through
the city will be shaped up with a
smooth bnrd surface by the time the
road for Suartanburg to the Polk coun
ty seat at Columbus, six mils awsv.
shah nave been finished. The road
will come into Tryon and has been sur
veyed as part of the state project of
road building In Polk county, connect
ing with the South Carolina highway
through Spartanburg and beyond. The
road to Columbus will later be con
tinued to Rutherfordtpn but has not
yet been completed.
At the great Tanlac laboratories at
T'ayron, Ohio, letters and telegrams
pouring in dally asking that ship-
5 '
j v.nnts of Tanlac be rushed at once,
j Many of these orders are for full car-
' id shipments, and quite a few of
i il-.om for two and three carloads.
A. though running at top speed, the
Tanlac laboratories are now over half
:i million bottles, or approximately
twenty-four carloads behind with or
J ders. This announcement will -no
I ti 'ubt be received with great surprise
I i:- the drug world, because business in
any lines, especially in the drug and
-.-jdk-ine business, has been off from 40
' : 50 per cent.
i AGENTS IX EVERY TOWN.
1 One druggist in every city, town
and village in the United States and
(.'anada where agencies have not al
i 2 t idy been established will be awarded
k the exclave publicity agency for Tan
' l.j.c within the next thirty days. These
I r. ireneies will carry with them a big
i publicity campaign exclusively for the
one druggist in each city and town
I who secures the agency.
Tanlac is going right ahead more
k vigorously than ever before. For
Tanlac there is such thing as busi
ness depression. In fact, Tanlac does
not believe there is such a thing as
hard times; at least, not in the drug
business. Things are getting better
every day. In a few weeks' time
crops will begin to move. Hundreds of
millions of dollars will be put into cir
culation, and business will soon be
bak on a better and sounder basis
than in years.
NOTICE TO DEALERS.
Many wholesalers and manufacturers
stopped pushing at the very first sign
of a dark cloud. The result being
that many drug lines slumpecT. Tanlac
went right ahead and the result has
been that more Tanlac has been sold
during the first six months of the
present year than in any correspond
ing period in the past.
Line up with Tanlac. Connect with
a product that sells no matter how
the times, because of its superior merit.
Although Tanlac has been on the
market over six years, it is an actual
fact tha more Tanlac is being sold
today with the same amount of adver
tising than during any time in the
past.
Tanlac will not , only prove your
greatest seller for this year, but for
many years tV come.
Tanlac is sold in Charlotte by The
Jas. P. Stowe Co. and by leading
druggists everywhere.
HEROIC WORK DONE BY
DR. PEDRO RODRIGUEZ
GREEKS BEAT THE
TURKS FN YARNS
Sending Out Much Propa
ganda Which Has no Ba
sis in Fact.
Angora, Turkey, Sept 9. Competi
tion between the Greek and Turkish
JNationanst omciai press bureaus is
one of the phases of the war in
which the Greeks outclass the Turks,
due to Greek control of communica
tions. Here's an Athens dispatch that we
have just hanged six Frenchmen in
Angora," Hussein Raghib Bey, director
of the Turkish bureau, said to the
correspondent, tossing the copy of a
wireless across the table. 'There's
no truth in the yarn, of course, but
by the time we are able to get out a
denial, the news will be printed every
where in the world, and . nobody will
believe our denial, any way, or take
the trouble to print it. The most as
tounding untruths are spread about
us."
As the Nationalists have, but one
feeble wireless station, which receives
news from the outside world, but sends
only a few . hunared miles and in a
wave length not known to the Ameri
can or Allied ships in the waters of
the Black and Mediterranean seas, frii
mediate, news from Angora reaches the
outside world several days old.
The Greeks have the advantage
that they censor press telegrams. They
recently took the added precaution
to place a censor on cables originating
in Constantinople, inasmuch as the
only cables from there pass Greek ter
ritory. The Nationalists are arranging a
more powerful wireless to talk to the
Tiflis wireless station which in turn
transmits to Moscow. For internal
propaganda, bulletins are distributed
by the daily newspaper Hakimieti
Millie (National Sovereignty) which ia
printed on presses brought on donkey
back from Constantinople. Its editors
are Constantinople journalists.

Madrid, Sept. 9. Heroic .work was

a naval surgeon, during the fighting
along tne Alhucemas coast betweai
the Spanish battleship Catalun.i and
the Moroccan rebels, says The Diario
Universal. The warship directed a
heavy fire at Moorish positions on
shore, and large numbers of Moroccans
fell seriously wounded. They were
making vain efforts to escape when nr.
Rodriguez asked permission from the
Cataluna's captain to land and attend
the wounded.
The landing was made In full view of
the enemy, who, observing the humani
tarian effort of the Spaniards, ceased
firing and allowed the landing to be
mado without resistance. After render
ing aid, the doctor returned on board
the warship, accompanied by the men
wrhose lives he had saved.

Xew York, Sept. 9. The problem how
to harness the energy of the sun to
as to utilize it for the direct benefit
of man was presented to the chemises
of the United States and Great Brit
ain here today, by Dr. L. H. Bakeland,
honorary professor of chemical engi
neering in Columbia University. He wa.s
speaking at an international meeting
of the Society of Chemical Indusay
of Great Britain and of the American
Chemical Society. He pointed out th-j
necessity of chemical research for the
advancement of American industry and
warned manufacturers against discon
tinuing that work during the present
period of business depression.
Sneaking on the problem of how '.o
utilize the rays of the sun, he briefly
told how these rays acting upon plant
life produce sugars, starch, cellulo.s
and other foods. He said: "No sun,
no crops, no life. So that, after all.
the whole living world is dependent
unon a delicate photo-chemical reac
tion.
"Our vast coal beds and our petro
leum wells and our natural gas are
merely the result of light energy
stored up from the plant or animal lif
of former geological periods. This, la
itself, ought to impress us with ih
enormous possibilities of photochemu'.il
synthesis and yet, here is a field where
the scientist or engineer has accom
piished next to nothing. In the utiliza
tion of this marvelous energy, we
have not gone beyond the art of mak
ing photographs.
"When it comes to transforming
light energy into chemical synthesis
we have left thus far the monopoly
of this agent tonature; we have bee;i
acting as Rip Van Winkle.
"Where is the Farady, the Amp.?"',
the Leonardo da Vinci; where is th?
Archimedes who shall show us how to
use the sun rays for charging our elec
trical storage batteries, or who will
teach us how to handle the photochem
ical action of sunlight, or to emulate
nature in her delicate, synthesis of
plant life? WTho will utilize this deli
cate method instead of our hitherto
brutal processes of synthesis?
"To the wide-awake manufacturer the
present industrial depression should be
an incentive to engage more chemists,
to do more chemical research work, in
stead of laying off the men of theif
chemical staff, as has happened in too
many instances since we got out of
that fool's paradise of so-called 'pros-
"Most of our industries badly need
"fertilizing" and fertilizing is bett.r
done While the land lies fallow than
during planting or harvesting time.
"Whenever I see such shortsighted
ness which is bound to stunt our in
dustrial efficiency for the future, ..hen
I wonder whether some of the nan;
c'al or -business men at the head of
large industrial enterprises are not oc
cupying their position on an assumed
and unearned reputation."
GRIBBEN GOES TO '
CHURCH AT WINSTON
Wilmington, Sept. 9. Universal re
gret will be felt in Wilmington when
it becomes known that Rev. R. E- Grib-tr-
nf St. John's Episcopal
church and one of Wilmington s most
popular ministers, win Ka.c
next month to become rector of St.

It has been - known for some time
that Mr. Gribbin was considering the
Winston-Salem parish, but it was hoped
v,,, v,io fHpnds here that he would de
cide to remain in .Wilmington, although
it was feared that he would accept,
as the charge in the Twin City offers a
far wider field for service, being the
nnlv nnrish there-
Mr firibbin became restor of St.

Richmond. Va. In January, 1918, he
hewn service in the army; as a volun

as army chaplain In April of that year,

worth and continued as chaplain of that
outfit after it arrived overseas. He
performed signal service in Prance with
the Third Pioneers in the First army.
Ha returned to Wilmington and re

rector of this parish. He has endeared
