TROUBLE IS ENDED
AFTER MANY YEARS
OF MISERY, HE SAYS
Spent Over S6OO Without Get
ting Relief and Was Told He’d
Never Get Well—Tanlac Re
stores Health.
“After spending over six hundred
dollars and suffering misery for seven
long years, I found how easy and sim
ple it was to get relief by just taking
Tanlac,” said Harmon Evans, employ
ed by the Ross-Meehan Foundry Co.,
of Chattanooga, a few days ago.
“I was told I had chronic catarrh
of the stomach and I didn't have much
chance of ever getting well," continued
Mr. Evans, “but what Tanlac did for
me proved there was a way and a
mighty sure way to get me back in
shape again. I don’t know what the
trouble was but I suffered something
awful, and couldn't eat a thing without
its causing me terrible pains. I felt
just like I had a hard lump in the pit
of my stomach and I tell you, I was
miserable most of the time. I was
weak as I could be and so nervous that
sometimes I’d shake like a leaf in the
wind, but as I said, no medicine or
treatment I could find did me a bit of
good until I started taking Tanlac.
"This medicine just seemed to hit the
spot right from the start and it wasn’t
any time before I was able to eat any
thing I wanted and it didn’t hurt me a
bit. I am now on my third bottle and
I've gained eight pounds already and
don’t have any pains or trouble at all.
I feel like a new man all over and am
full of life and energy and I want every
body to know what brought my health
back. When a man’s suffered like I
did, I tell you he’s mighty grateful
for whatever got him over it, and if
there’s anybody who’s in the same fix
they had better take a tip from me
and get some Tanlac and then they’ll
find their troubles are gone, just the
same as I did."
Tanlac is sold in Augusta exclusively
by Howard’s Drug Stores.—(Advt.)

AGAINST DIRECTORS
OF IRISH AMERICAN
Receiver Sues For $155,000
of Industrial Lumber Com
pany Overdraft Not Collected
and For $15,000 Additional
GROSS NEGLIGENCE IS
CHARGED IN THE SUIT
Stated That Neither J. P. Arm
strong, Cashier, Nor Frank H.
Boatwright, Teller, Was Under
Bond As They Should Have
Been.
Suit was filed yesterday in the
clerk’s office of the superior court by
counsel for Mr. Irvin Alexander, re
ceiver of the Irish-American Bank,
against the directors of the defunct in
stitution for $170,000. Messrs. Archi
bald Blackshear and Barrett & Hull
represent the receiver.
The directors being, sued are Messrs
P. Armstrong, John W. Walker, How
ard H. Stafford, L. J. Williams, John
Sftncken, Julian M. Smith , A. V.
Kirsch and J. P. Armstrong.
It is alleged by the petitioners that
the Irish-American Bank closed its
doors December 13, 1913, owing to de
positors and creditors the sum of
$571,0115.24 and of that amount still
owes $500,000.
The petition states that $54,888.96
has been collected from the assets and
that the receiver will not be able to
collect over $17,126.28 from the re
maining assets which he has in hand.
Thus it will be seen that the net
amount owing to depositors and credi
tors is a half million dollars.
The suit charges the directors with
negligence in a great many respects.
It states that the directors were the
only one* in position to inquire into
the affair* of the bank, as to how it
wa* being conducted, etc., and they
faied to do so. However, the suit is
not general in its charges in so far as
the attempt to recover *170,000 is con
cerned, but, on the contrary, is very
specific. I* alleges that the ludustrial
Lumber Company, operated by James
P. Armstijong, had an overdraft at the
Irish-American Bank at the time of
the failure of $202,000 and that the re
ceiver had been unable to get $156,000
of thi* sum. The suit is for $166,000
on the account of the Irish-American’s
allowing the big Industrial Lumber
Company overdraft and for SIO,OOO be
cause of the failure of the bank to have
J. P. Armstrong under a SIO,OOO bonr,
as cashiers are required to be put un
der and a $5,000 bond for Frank H.
Boatwright, teller, who should have
been under a. $5,000 bond, thus making
a total of $170,000.
The petition recites that Mr. P. Arm
strong, president of the Irish-Ameri
can, was in the bank dally, attending
to private business for a long while
prior to its failure and that he was
guilty either of wilful inattention or
gross negligence.” The petition states
that he was an uncle of J. P. Arm
strong. cashier, in whom he manifested
in many wayß devotion and protecting
care. The petition goes on to state
that in August, 1913, Mr. Armstrong
transferred to his son-in-law, Mr.
Frank Kavanaugh, 40 shares of the
stock of the Irlsh-American Bank,
with “the patent, purpose of escaping
liability to stockholders."
The petition states that the director*
knew that J. P. Armstrong was operat
ing the Industrial Lumber Company
and that the company was a customer
of the bank, but they did not make any
inquiry in regard to how the account
of the Industrial Lumber Company
stood at the hank, with the result that
en enormous overdraft was discovered
when the bank's doors were closed.
In regard to the lack of bond for
Armstrong, the petition state* that
Armstrong should have been required
by the directors to furnish a SIO,OOO
bond, which he did not do, and that
Frank H. Boatwright, “whom your
petitioner has been informed and be
lieves defrauded the bank of $10,000,”
should have been required to furnish
a $5,000 bond which he did not do.
