The dispensary investigation will
be resumed today, the hearing to
begin at 3:30 o'clock in the Supreme
Gnurt room. There was no hearing
yesterday as some of the witnesses
could not be had. Newberry witnesses
will be on the stand today. It
is understood that the committee
will try to rush the investigation
from now on in time to make a report
before the legislature adjourns.
After consultation with Chief Constable
Hammett and the attorney

has refused to issue a charter to the

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The weather has been fine fnr a
ih
few days. Last Saturday was the
coldest day this wioter.
Preparations are being made for
the coming crop. The advance
farmers have their lands turned and
the fertilizers hauled. Their motto
seems to be "better crops."
The scarcity of labor will be felt
Vdry much this year and as such it
will bo advieeable for our farmers to
set their crops as they can do their
own work. No doubt the man who
- plants more than be can cultivate I
himself will be found in the grass.
Arrangements will soon be made
to have regular preaching in the
Baptist church. Rev. Iuabinet has
placed two service* a month in the
M. E. church. Tnis will be greatly
appreciated by all. Rev. Wes6inger
has a large catechising class in the
Lutheran church and preaches regularly
the second Sunday afternoon.

HiS is a common expression
we hear on every
side. Unless there is
some organic trouble, the condition
can doubtless be remedied.
Your doctor is the best adviser.
Do not dose yourself with all
kinds of advertised remedies?
get his opinion. More than likely
you need a concentrated fat food
to enrich your blood and tone
up the system.
Scott's Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil
is just such a food in its best form,
it will build up the weakened
and wasted body when all
other foods fail to nourish. If
you are run down or emaciated,
give it a trial: it cannot hurt
you. It is essentially the best
possible nourishment for delicate
children and pale, anaemic girls.
Wc will send you a sample free.
mBe sure that this picture
in the form of a label is on
the wrapper of every bottle
of Emulsion you buy.

In Memory of My Son, Jimmie. |
Ob, bow ead and lonely is our
home siDce it has been darkened by
death. There is a hushed voice, a
vacant place around our fire eide an
unoccupied room and a vacant place
at the dining table. No one knows
how slowly the days and nights pass
by! There is nothing in life for me
but sadness and gloom. Ob, how
can I give up my poor child. Y*s,
Christmas has come and gone, a time
that we have always looked forward
to with pleasure before?a time of
family reunion?but alas! no family
retfnion had we. Instead of pleasure
it was trouble. Just to think my

such an unmerciful way.
We want to fcbank our neighbors
and friends for their kindness aod
much sympathy during our great
trouble. But, dear readers, you
don't know anything about trouble
till it comes like this. His devoted
mother, Mrs. Amanda Trotter.
