PLACE FOR CALHOUN STATUE. Position Chosen in Statuary Hall Pleases Governor Ansel. Washington, May 24.-As the re sult of a consultation held here today between Governor Ansel, F. W. Ruck stuhl and Ellott Woods, superinten dent of the capitol buildings and grounds, th-a Calhoun statue is to have an excellent position in Statuary Hall in the capitol when it is placed there, the latter part of September, by M. Ruckstuhl. Governor and Mrs. Ansel .were early visitors at the capitol this morning, and after lunching and look ing in on the senate, the house, the supreme court and other places of in teTest, they met Mr. Ruckstuhl and Mr. Woods and agreed upon the lo eatrion of the statue. The point chosen is a spot near the big door leading into the house cham ber, and second from the main aisle in the hall. This site was chosen be cause the statue being very large, will find a natural and easy place in be. tween two other large ones, and will look better there than were its sur roundings smaller. Just 'behind the statue is a large window, which will admit suffieient light and whiah will permit the statue to be seen at its best advantage. Mr. Ruckstahl said that he thought the South Carolinians who come to the unveiling would like it. He has promised to have -it in place by the latter part of September, and it is proposed by Governor Ansel to have the unveiling exercises take place in December, when all the mem bers of the Calhoun commission will be present and make the occasion a brilliant suceess. The governor, in his gallant way, told Superintendent Woods that he wanted the statue so placed that the two lady members of the commission could do the unveiling with ease, and he added that there was no use to say grace because he was confident that the latter accompaniment would not be lacking. Mr. Woods said ev erything possible would be done for the pleasure and convenience of the ladies in the party and he would lend his best efforts toward making the oc casion a success. The governor said tonight that he was more than pleased with the loea tion chosen and believed an ideal place hiad been found for the "Great Nullifier.'' HENEY WATTEESO~N AN~D THE IQUOR QUESTION. Augusta Chronicle. Hon Henr Watterson, in reply to a frendandwarcomrade, refuses to concede thiat to excessive liquor drink ing alone is atrributable most of the crimes of .the day; nor will he admit that to liduor is attribule more crime than to other causes. He declares that there are many vices which arise out of our frail humanity and afflict -society which are not arristbutable to this cause. Mr. Watterson holds tha.t drinking to excess is confined to a very small percentage of every community, and contends that of late years there 'has been a steady diminishing of the drink habit, due to the better en lightment of men. In the Latin countries, such as Spain, France and Italy, drunkenness is unknown. In Germany, where beer is the national beverage, there is no such thing as drunkenness. "But, in Maine, sixty years of drastic prohibition 'have not sufficed to extinguish drunkenness or regenerate the people."' As a matter of fact, this long term of prohibition in Maine has brought ~in.to being a retinue of evils never before known, alth.ough inevitable to :the effort to control by legislaive en ~actment the "appetites and indivi dual liberties of the people.'' Mr. Watterson, always interesting, - writes: "Our friend of West Tennessee is mistaken in his theory that prohibi tion prohibits. He is mistaken in his ~theory that wicked husbands and bad fathers may be turned into good hus bands and fond fathers by act ofw. as sembly. The atempt to do it en'eils wanton impositions to begin with and * oreasts untoward conditions to end wvith; sa~crificing the freedom of the people without elevating the morals of the people. The better way, and the sufficient way, is to close the evil places where the community united enough to close them and to keep . them closed, each the judge of its own exciee arrangemeits, leaving every in idividual free to develop upon his own lines of conscience and conduct. Already the government is doing too much in restraint of men. Something must be left to moral agencies. Force impelled by clericalism and hysteri calisnm, equally undiscrimninating and despotic, never yet did any lasting good. but always in the end, surely comes the irremediable wrong." We know now, down here in Geor gia. that prohibition does not prohib it. We can not draw a lesson in the matter from our own city of. Augusta, for it has been bioped that .thene wIud bI),? proibition of consumption of liquor at ihis point. The fact that there is the legal sale of liquor two hundred yards from the city limits in the adjoining State of South Car olina-is testimony that those who enacted the prohibition laws did not 'hope to bring about a halt in the drinking of liquor in this city. But ,wehavethe testimony of towns that are not similarly situated, geographically, that the prohibition laws have not re sulted in putting a stop to liquor drinking. Kentucky may pass all the laws against "demon rum"' that she wish es, but she will not be.able to enforce prohibition of consumption any more than has Georgia, Maine or the other States that have enacted statutes of this sort.

Good Advice Regardinig The Preven tion of Coughs and Colds. If people would only properly for tify and strengthen their system, about 98 per cent. 'of coughs, colds, and pneumonia might be avoided. These troubles are simply the result of weakness, which produces a catar rhal condition of the mucous mem brane, which is as an internal skin of the body. When this skin is weaken ed, it becomes infected with germs which are carried through the system by tshe blood. These parasites attack and break these delicate tissues and set up a soreness which produce what is in reality an external scrofula. The only thing that will eure coughs and colds and prevent pneu moniia is a medication which is ab sorbed and carried by the blood so that the diseased membranec is disin feeted, cleaned, soothed and healed. We have a remedy which we hon estly believe infallable and unsurpas sable for the prevention and cure of coughs, colds and all catarrhal condi tions. It is the prescription of a famous physician, who has an envia ble reputation of 30 years of cures gained through the use of this medi eine. We promise to either effect a eure in every case or make no charge for the medicine. We urge everybody in Newberfiry who has need of such a medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone. It stands to reason that we could not afford to make such statements and give our own personal guarantee to this remedy if we were not abso lutely positive that we could substan tiate our claim in every particular, and we see no reason why anyone should hesitate to accept our offer and try it. We have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone. Prices 50c. and $1.00. Sometimes a 50e. bottle is sufficient for a cure. As a general thing, the most chronic case is cured with an average of three large bot tles. Remember, the medicine will cost you nothing if you are not satis fied in every particular.
