Very Next Dose of Treacherous Drug May Sturt Terrible Salivation. j The next dose of calomel you take may salivate you. It may shock your liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel is dangerous. It is mercury, quick-' silver. It crashes into sour bile like . dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. If you feel bilious, headachy, con stipated, and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents,, which is n harmless vegetable substi tute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful, and lt it doesn't start your ?ver and 'tralghton you up better and o a ' ck er than nasty calomel, and' without making you sick, you just go ! back and get your money.. Don't take calomel! It cannot bo trusted any more than a leopard or j a wild-cat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone which stn Ightens you right up andi makes you feel fine. -,ro salts neces sary.

Governor Harvey's First Act. Columbia, May 25, - Governor Harvey performed his first official act to-day when he signed a notary public commission for a lady, Miss M. I). Reid, of Spartanburg. The Governor was asked by newspaper men if he had a leaning for tho la dies, and ho replied that tho signing of a woman's commission as tho first in a batch of notary public commis sions was as a sort, of tribute to tho now feminine voters of tho Stato and to tho ladles generally. "But nobody can accuse me of doing this to cater to tho femlnlno vote, for I nm not going to offer for re-oloction," the Govornor laughingly added. i i .?

The fog was so thick off UShant Island at the timo of tho collision between the Egypt and the French freighter Seine that tbe inhabitants of tho islands in tho region had been living for three days in almost complete darkness, with all outdoor work suspended. Tho sudden rise in temperature In North ern Prance is given as the reason for tho unusually heavy fog. Accounts of tho disaster given by survivors and tho captain's reports indicate that tho loss of life would have been much smaller had not tho fop, been so thick as io hamper the rescuers. Sailors on the Pre?en steamer declare thal they observed several struggles bet woe ll survivors for places of snfoty on pieces of the wreckage. Tho survivors' accounts ind?calo that everything was done by the ofllcors and crows of the two ves sels to prevent loss of life, except in the cases of a few Indian seamen, who lost their heads and fought for life belts and places In the boals.
