THE only reason that the people of South Carolina have to eat sticky Flour ia that there is no Pure Food Law in thia State, and, as a consequence, thia State ia made the -dumping ground of every sefuso lot of cheap, adulterated ?Flour in the country. We have po Pure Food Law because tho people do not vant it, aa it will force manufacturera to discontinue their reckless and in jurious adulteration, and incidentally increase the coat of pure foodstuffs The howling demagogues of the coun try could not stand any increase in the cost of living, and therefore.the State ia hopelessly committed to im- ' . pure bread. Such ia not the case, however, with our Flours, for ' every Car of our Flou.* is thoroughly tested for impuri ties, and nar mill contracts' guarantee absolute purity in every detail. .We rise to i eli the dear people that if the great, good and patriotic Legislature will not protect them from the ' '. sharks that are feeding-them on injurious minerals which they call Flour, we will do so ; "bat we must charge V them the price of pure Flour, as we cannot tell pure Flour as cheap as the other fellow sells1 dirt and Flour.
