THIS MAN SAYS HE IS
SORRY HE DID NOT
KNOW OF IT SOONER
Well Known Augusta Man Says
He Was Hardly Able to Work.
Says All His Troubles Have
Been Overcome.
“I have just finished taking my first
bottle of Tanlac and I feel stronger and
better than I have in years," said Mr.
T. E. Binion, who for the past seven
years has been employed as carpenter
in the Georgia Railroad shops and re
siding at 726 Moore Avenue.
“My health had been bad for a long
time,” continued Mr. Binion, “and for
the past two years especially I have
been feeling very much under the
weather. I suffered awful bad with
nervous indigestion, and something
that seemed like a big lump would
form in my stomach every afternoon
about 4 o’clock, and them 1 would get
nervous and shaky an« T would have
headache and nervous spells that would
completely upset me. 1 couldn’t sleep
any scarcely and I had just about as
near no appetite as a man could have
to have any at all. My stomach was
out of order, too, and everything I
would eat hurt me, and many of the
things I liked best I wouldn’t dare eat
because of the suffering I knew I
would have to undergo afterwards. No
medicine I ever tried seemed to de me
a particle of good as I just kept get
ting worse until I had no strength and
energy and my work would tax me to
the very limit. To express it in the
shortest way, I was all run down and
hardly felt like getting about at all
until I began taking Tanlac. I couldn’t
doubt the endorsements I read in the
papers about this medicine, coming as
they did from some of our best Au
gusta people, and so I bought me a bot
tle of it and I only regret that I didn’t
get it earlier as it would have seved
me from a great deal of suffering; but
I had no idea it would do me the good
it has in so short a time. Actually,
it’s the first time I’ve been able to
sleep sound a single night in two whole
years. That lump has stopped forming
in my stomach and I don’t have any
more nervous spells. Hy appetite is
good now and I can eat hearty and
yelish my food just like I did when
I. was a boy. Tanlac is certainly fine.
I don’t suffer the slightest discomfort
in any way since I toon the first bottle.
Tanlac is sold in Augusta exclusively
by T. G. Howard.

promise made last night to clear away
before another day, if possible, the

the close of a session to which recom
mendations had been made that the
foreign board dispense with the ser
vices of its two field secretaries —the
Rev. C. D. Craves, of Nashville, and the
Rev. C. J. Thompson, of Raleigh. Other
means for economizing also were in .the
same report made by a committee to
which the report of the foreign mis
sion board had been referred.
The report of the committee was re
turned to it for further consideration
and foreign missionaries began to tell
of their experiences abroad. Then of
ficers of the board explained that the
necessity of keeping up the evanglical
necessity of keeping up the evangelical
be incurred. Scarcely had the explana
tion been made when a $25 gift was an
nounced from the audience. Joshua
Levering, of Baltimore, offered $5,000,
provided the debate was cleared away
within 60 days. Other gifts came in
and the Rev. George W. Truitt, of Dal
las, urged that the debt be cleared
away tonight. Contributions ranging
from $5 to $5,000 were made and short
ly after midnight several state dele
gations annnounced they wanted to get
together Friday and see what they
could give. It then was decided to at
tempt to complete the sum today.

IMPRESSIVE WAS
MEMORIAL SERVICE
TO MISS FLEMING
The Woman’s Missionary Society of
the First Presbyterian church held
Thursday afternoon appropriate me
morial exercises in honor of the late
Miss Elizabeth Fleming, who died in
Soochow, China, where she was doing
missionary work, a week or so ago.
The deceased was one who was
prominent in the above church. For
years she was a school teacher in this
city and needs no introduction to the
older residents. She gave up teaching
to do missionary work, and met with
wonderful success in foreign fields.
An appropriate program was carried
out. First a hymn was sung and pray
er offered by Major George I’. Butler.
Rev. Joseph Sevier, pastor of the
church, read a selection from tho
Scripture. The 67th Psalm, which was
always read by her pupils at her school
on The Hill, was read by the congre
gation. Miss Marie Br&he then read
a most niteresting sketch of Miss
Fleming’s life.
Her life in China had been an ac
tive one up to two years ago, when
she suffered from a fall. Since then
she was confined to her room but has
conducted her classes from her bed
side. "More Like the Master,” a fa
vorite song," was sung, following Miss
Brahe’s reading. A beautiful tribute
of love from one of her former pupils,
Miss Charlotte Wardiaw. was then
read. A tribute written to Miss Flem
ing during her lifetime and a prayer
written by an absent friend were read
by Mrs. Cecil Cochrane. Mrs. Joseph
Fargo read a most interesting paper
on “The Worker and Her Work,”
which brought out the vast amount of
useful work this consecrated woman
had accomplished in the foreign field.
Miss Margaret Battle’s lovely voice
was heard in a solo, "The City’s Four
Squares." Extracts were read from
letters written by Miss Fleming to Mrs.
W .E. Jackson. A verse written to the
society by Msis Fleming, Ist Peter,
5:10, was read by Miss Gostenhofer. A
song by the choir and the benediction
by the pastoe closed the memorial ser
vices.
