UR. III.I : ASI, HAS A LIQUOR BILL.
Adopt lt, He Says, ?nd tho Whiskey
Problem is Solved.
Newberry, December 31.-State
Senator Cole L. Blease, who led the
light Into the last trendies for thc
State dispensary, and who was with
the State dispensary at its death, has
been in communication ""1th promi
nent people throughout the State who
heve taken an interest In reaching
some satisfactory settlement of the
liquor trouble.
Senator Blease announces that he
has decided upon a plan, and unless
something happens to change his
opinion between this time and the
opening of the next General Assem
bly he will introduce a bill In the
Senate on the opening day of the
next session embodying his plan.
Senator Blease thinks the solution
is to pass a prohibition law for the
entire State, to go Into operation on
July 1, 1908, with privilege to any
of the counties on petition of one
fourth tho qualified olectors of the
particular county to vote upon the
question of prohibition or license, the
license to bo granted upon the pres
ent constitutional and dispensary re
strictions. His bill would provide,
he said, that any holder ot a license
sending whiskey In any quantity into
a dry county should forfeit his li
cense, and, upon conviction, be sen
tencd to serve six months In the State
penitentiary at hard labor without
the alternative of a fine. For violat
ing any of the restrictions any holder
of a license should forfeit hts license.
The license, if granted, he says,
should go one-half to tho city or town
in which it is granted and tho other
half to the general county fund, the
license to te rogulated by the city
councils and the county board of
commissioners of each county voting
for license.
In this way, he says, parties hold
ing liceuses would see to it that
blind tigers were prosecuted, and ho
believes that his plan would bring
about tho solution of the whiskey
problem*
Senator Blease has announced that
he will ba a candidate In the primary
next summer to succeed himself as
State Senator from this county.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learu that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages,
and that ls catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hull's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers ?hat they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that lt fails to
cure. Send for Hst of testimonials.

Our Regular News,Letter that Went
Astray for a Week.
Seneca, Dec. 31.-Special: Social
ly, the week promised to be a dull
one, but there has not been a fuller,
brighter, season in Seneca's history
than the pact one.
The Once-a-Week Club held its
Christmas meeting with Mrs. Luke
Vernor, and the occasion proved a
most fitting finale to the many attrac
tive affairs wliich have characterized
the meetings during the past year.
The home ls conveniently adapted to
the accommodation of large parties
and on this occasion the entire lower
floor was thrown together. Christ
mas decorations were used, many
bells and soft red lights being used
with beautiful effect. Quantities of
holly, bamboo and mistletoe were
also used. Upon arriving tl)a guests
were pres?nted with cards tied with
the club colors, and bearing numbers.
Later, tho company was Informed
that the game of "library" would be
played and that Mrs. W. J. Lunney
would act as librarian, being sup
plied with a numbered Hst of popu
lar books, which explulned the use of
the cards which had previously been
given the guests. The gentlemen ap
plied to the librarian for books and
upon his selection was directed to
find the lady who held a correspond
lng number, with whom he was to
chat for five minutes, when he ap
plied for a new book. Delightful in
tercourse was enjoyed In this way
for an hour, after which the guests
were invited into the dining room,
where refreshments were served. La
ter, an old hoBs sale was instituted,
which afforded a deal of amusement
and which was in the hands of J. H.
Adams as auctioneer. For instance,
an attractive looking package mark
ed "A terror to women," wont high,
and proved to be a toy mouse. Punch
was served throughout the evening.
Mrs. J. W. Byrd entertained her
Sunday school class In a delightful
manner on Thursday evening. Vari
ous forms of amusement were pro
vided by tho hostess, and the even

the entire company wi s unanimous
in saying that the affair was alto
gether delightful, and the thought
which prompted lt a most happy one.

Truly, "the day draweth to an
end," as we were appropriately told
from one of our pulpits last Sabbath,
and the time draws near for the New
Year resolutions. There ls possibly
nothing lost in making resolutions,
(unless, alas, it be the resolutions
themselves,) for tho habit ls a good
one, and we grow stronger by the
use of lt. Let us remember, also,
that "thore are others," and that the
unselfish, busy lifo is the happy life.
A prosperous and happy New Year
to one and all! M. V. S.
The finest coffee substitute over
made has recently been produced by
Dr. Shoop, of Racine, Wis. You don't
have to boll lt twenty or thirty min
utes. "Made in a minute," says the
doctor. "Health Coffee" ls really the
closest coffee imitation ever yet pro
duced. Not a grain of real coffee In
lt either. Health Coffee Imitation is
made from pure toasted cereals or
grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really
it would fool an expert-wore he to
unknowingly drink it for coffee.
