With the beginning of anoth
school session the McDuffie Litera
Society has already been reborn
newness of life, and is offering u
excelled advantages to the boys ai
girls to cultivate the art (
public speaking and readinj
The first meeting of the Society w;
held on Friday the fifth. This w;
the best beginning we have ev
had in literary work since the o
ganization of the society and v
trust that the interest shall contint
to grow as the year passes.
The meeting was called to ord<
by the president. The roll w?
called and to practically evei
name there was a response. Tl
society was then opened for ne

accepted as a member of the societ
by a unanimous vote. The repoi

Culbreath.
Second Negative, Lydia Brunson
The judges, Mr. Claude E. Har
ris, Miss Annie Sue Broadwater
and Miss Francis Jones decided it
favor of the Affirmative. This is a
subject which ia very debatable
and I am 6ure that the debatore
made it so on this occasion, for Mr.
Folk and Mr. Moore in turn gave
six rebuttals. Each having some
very fine points.
As there had been no critic
elected, Mr. Lyon was asked to act
upon this occasion. The criticisms
that he rendered could not have
been improved upon. Every par

every member of the society will
say that he derived great benefit
from his criticism. Before the
meeting closed Mies Francis Jones
was elected critic for a three months
term. As there was no other busi
ness the meeting adjourned.
We the members of the society
extend a cordial invitation to all of

Almost Like Miracle
Way Tanlac Worked
Mrs. Evans Says Those
Terrible Spells Have
Been Relieved Suf
fered 12 Years.
Very First Dose or Tanlac Made j
Slight Change for Better is Un
usual Statement.
After suffering twelve years, the
last several months of which was so
severe she believed herself on the
verge of the grave, Mrs. Ella Evans,
of Iva, S. C., R. F. D. 4, in June,
1916, had obtained so much relief
from Tanlac that "it seemed almost
like a miracle the way Tanlac
worked", according to her de
scription. Mrs. Evans gave the
following statement regarding the
benefit Tanlac gave ber.
?'I suffered from a very bad case
of stomach trouble for twelve years
before I began taking Tanlac, and it
seemed that no medicine would break
up my trouble. I frequently would
have terrible spells when my heart,
nerves and stomach would all get
out of order at the same time. I
suffered terrible pain then. I had
begun to fear I'd never be well again.
"At night I could not sleep well
and I was so weak I could hardly be
I up. Really it seemed that my whole
system was out of order in every
way and I got no better, though I
had the best medical attention.
"Some of my relatives persuaded
me to take Tanlac. I have just
finished my first bottle and just a
short time ago I ordered the second.
I am a great deal stronger now in
every way and I've not had one of
those terrible spells since I started
taking Tanlac. My heart, nerves,
stomach, liver and bowels have been
regulated by the Tanlae. I have a
good appetite, too, now.
"The very first dose of Tanlac
made a slight change for the better,
and in my case it seemed almost like
a miracle the way Tanlac worked.
In every way Tanjac has made my
health better and lam so happy, for
I believe I am on the road to re
covery. I sure will continue to take
Tanlac, for it certainly is wonder
ful."
