The injunction i9 asked for on the ground that the act is unconstitutional in that the i Legislature can not delegate its du- i ties to the people, and because the expenditure of $34,500 of the taxpayers money for holding the elec- i tion would be contrary to law.

Mr Tompkins I opened for the petitioner, stressing the ground that the Legislature can 1 not submit its functions and dele- i gate its duties to the people, and contending that the act calling for the referendum is in violation both of the Constitution of the United States and of the State of South Carolina. Narrow Escape from Death. Last Saturday a negro was per- . mitting his mule, attached to a wagon, go up on the railroad track while he held confad with a dusky damsel. The conversation must have been very interesting as the darky did not seem to hear the shifting 1 train Ahnnt the time the train 1 neared the crossing he started to ' drive across. A number of persons saw the danger and halloed to him i but the box car smashed his wagon i and the mule was down across the i track and one moment more the car wheels would have gone over him, i the darky meantime having summer- i saulted backwards out of the wagon. Now he is suing the railroad for damages to his wagon, mule and i self. These are the facts as we get them from others who claim to have seen the affair.?Lake City News. nA??k ikA uraiu nucii ui iuc uispciisat j* , It is remarkable to note the i changes that take place in a people, i Fifty years ago many of our Southern people would have enjoyed lynching Abraham Lincoln but to- ] day his true character is seen and he is almost universally loved.

Come to see us v Yours for the State dispensary but changes have gradually taken place and today if a man running for office should advocate the State or county dispensary system, he would 3tand little chance of being elected. The State and county dispensary system have both been tried by the people of our State and are "found wanting." This huge and vile institution, which has been pregnant with graft, has been the ruin and downfall of many of our citizens and could not have survived shis long, had it not been used as a monstrous political machine: But her death knell will be sounded on the 14th day of September, if we rightly judge the sign of times. The voters of our State expect on that day, to register their condemnation of a system that has been fostered by the State for the past 25 years, which system will go down in historv as a blot on her fair name.?Olanta Observer.

Backache is only a simple thins: at first; But if you find 'tis from the kidneys; That serious kidney troubles may follow; That dropsy or Bright's disease may be the fatal end, You will be glad to know the following experience. 'Tis the statement of a Kingstree citizen. Mrs S H DuBose, Kingstree, says: "A spell of grip weakened my kidneys, and my back began to ache terribly. I could hardly turn over in bed, I was so sore and lame. I tired easily and could hardly do my housework. I suffered from dizzy spells and the kidney secretions being irregular in passage, annoyed me considerably. When I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills I got some at the Scott Drug Co. Two boxes cured me." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mrs DuBose had. Foster-Milburn D ? XT V iaj, riups, ouuaiu, 11 x.
