IEW LABOR LA . Judiciary Committee Makes Repori to the House of Represen tatives. After consultation for several day the judiciary committee of the hous; has drawn up a bill relating to la bor contrae'ts which will, in the opin ion of the members, eff?ctually re medy conditions in thz repeal of the old law declared unconz-itutional by both the United States and Statc courts. There were a large numbber of bills introduced and from several of these the ideas were obtained and in order to avoid crowding the cal endar unfavoraible reports were given on these which were adopted by the house. The bill will come up for discus sion at an early date as several res olutions calling for a rep)rt from the committee have been introduced. The provisions are as follows: ''Section 1. That any persou who shall hereafter contraet with another to renier him personal ser vice of any kind and shall thereafter fraudulantly, or with malicious in tent to injure his employer, fail 01 refuse to render such service as agreed upon, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

Ordinary Accidents. There is not a day passes but some one has a finger mashed, gets a s7evere scald or burn, receives a painful cut or bruise, or is taken with a sudden cramp or pain in some part: of the body. Such accidents are usually lightly treait4l with some 'old timey" remedy, advised by the pat riarch of the neighborhood. and, strange as it may seem. there are as many such panaceas advised as there are ills to cure. Every one has a different remedy to offer. The a fliction, though painful, is not, im portant enough to- require a physi cian. yet must be attenided. Thouglitless people experiment with Tom, Dick and Harry's prescriptions at the risk of entailing serious com Iplieations. How much better it would be to keep on hand a bottle of some well-known and guaranteed re me.3v. such as Andes Great Oil. So thoroughly efficient and reliable is this celebrated lotion for the instant relief of cuts, burns, bruises, sealds, cramps. aches and pains, that it is kept in a majority of homes as a household necessity. It is dubbed "the little doetor." a.d no such aeci ient as. is mentioned above needs surther treatment than an applica tion of the oil to parts affected. It cures toothache, headache, neuralgia and internal cramps in tiwo tg five minutes, reduces swellings and suples drawn muscles or stiff joints like maic. W. E. Pelham and ,Son are sole distributors in this section. Price 50 cents per bottle. enough to last indefinitely, for a little, goes a long way. LICENSE ORDINANCE. State of South Carolina.
