There is little doubt the legislature!
at. I 'i>* session whifii opens today will ;
repeal (lie Ii? ,i law. There seems to b.'|
a pretty uvneral demand for its re-1
peal anions the farmers of litis see- j
lion of tlie stale. Whether a repeal j
of this law will help conditinns o:*
not we do not know lint we hail jus! !
as well Ir.v it.
I'iie legislature meets today. There |
are many important mailers to com .'j
up for consideration. It is very
probahle that much time will he con-I
sinned discussing; the whiskey <|iies-|

seems to he jrrowinir. We believe thai i
if left to a \otc of the people of the!
entire state that a majority would be i
very decided in favor of stale pro- |
Tiit- Anderson Daily Mail printed i
Just week an interesting story of the
'jrowtli of the electric city duniit; the
P'l.-t year. Andi r-on i; no doubt the i
be-j town in this stale, a.id while tlrej
Mail is a good newspaper, il would i
be more interest i11vr if it talked A ndei'soii

You certainly have not been reading
tin* Daily Mail. One day not long J
ago it printed at twenty-six editor-]
ials on the ciiv of Anderson. Surely!
there could be no complaint with that !
much >pace devoted |o tlie city of [
Anderson. j
The Mail is a <jood newspaped an.l
loses no opportunity lo boast Anderson.
The following" was received by a
irent h-man in Newberry front a eiti/.-j
<'ii of this county, who evidently has J
been watching Ihe progress of our !
streets;
"Hope you are enjoying good
health and will live to set* all the!
streets of Newberry paved as advocated
by The llerald and News.
Should you be so fortunate you will
prabably be l>he oldest man that |
walked the streets of the city." j
We hope our friend is mistaken in '
bis prediction as |o street improve-j
incut in Newberry. The citizen who'
received Ihe letter is a younger man,,
in years at least, than Ihe editor of I
The llerald and News and the editor i
has hoped that he will live to see and j
enjoy paved streets and sidewalks in.

We conlideutly expect lire present;
administration lo begin permanent |
work of this kind as soon as weather ,
conditions permit ami if we can once
L'et even a small section of our

great for its extension that even Ihe j
oldest inhabitant will have the op- j
portunily of living to enjoy some of I

? -Remains a Mystery.
The State.
A decidedly unusual transaction, in
which a bank president an.l a member
of the Columbia police department
are concerned, reached a climax in
the city of Columbia on Monday night
of this week, and the stories told of
Vho proceedings leading up to this
transaction serve to make the matter
all the more mysterious. A four room
dwelling <in flic northeast corner of
11utrer and Senate streets was the
scene; hour not known, but, from
best reports obtainable, between 8
o'clock Monday night and "an early
hour" Tuesday morning.
The facts as obtained yesterday
from various parties are as follows:
About six or seven weeks ago two
gentleman called al Ihe home of Martha
Holmes, colored, at 1128 Lincoln
Ft reel, and stated t hat t hey wished to
rent the dwelling house at No. .1100
IIHirer street, which the Holmes woman
owns. She says I hey gave their
names as "Fuller" and "Blackwell,"
the former slating that he lived in
the ejily and that the latter was from
North Carolina. She fold them that
she had a good renter in the house
already, a man who had been thera
for .12 years, and did not care to make
a ethang-e.
She sayx they insisted that, she give
A price on the rent of the house. This '
she refused to do without" first con- i

How is Your Digestion.
Mrs. Mary Dowling of No. 228 8th
Ave., San Francisco, recommends a
remedy for stomach trouble. She
says: 'Gratitude for the wonderful
effect of 101 ectrie Hitters in a case of
acute indigestion, prompts this testimonial.
I am fully convinced that
for stomach and liver troubles Klectricl
Hitlers is the best remedy on
the market today." This great tonic
and alterative medicine invigorates
I he system, purifies the blood and is
especially helpful in all forms of female
weakness. 50c. a! W. E. Pelham
