PORT MILL. S. C.. DECEMBER 16. IMS.
LEGISLATIVE WORK
WILL BE IMPORTANT
i
Wbat the Solons Are Expected to Do
This Winter.
Many matters of importance
to the people of the State will be
considered at the coming session
of the Legislature, which will
convene in about four weeks.
Several important bills which
were introduced at the last session
but which were not disposed
of are to be considered and acted
upc*i. On the whole, the present
Legislature is composed of safe,
conservative men and their work
this winter is expected to prove
beneficial to the State. The
members of the Legislature now
receive a salary of $200 the
session, instead of $4 per diem,
as was the law before this year,
and as there are no particular
issues the consideration of which
promise to consume much time,
it is thought that the work of
the body will be completed within
30 days.
As usual, the biggest fight will
be on the liquor question, but
there is a feeling that this will
be made short and swift. It is
to be expected that the prohibitionists
will renew their fight
for a State-wide act, and it is
believed that Representatives
M. L. Smith, C. A. Smith, J. G.
Richards ard J. P. Carey will reintroduce
the bill which passed
the house last session but which
was killed later for the compromise
local Option bill; but the
outcome is extremely doubtful.
Opinion is about evenly divided
as to whether the dispensaries
can be driven out of the six
counties now remaining wet.
Many of the local option advocates
are counting on enough
prohibitionists taking the position
that this legislature is
"morally bound to stand by the
compromise measure of last session
to make local option safe for
one more year at least.
There are only two elections of
importance this session, and both j
of these can be disposed of in a
brief joint session. These will
be lor a State' insurance commissioner
and a State librarian.
Coming over as unfinished
business from last year, there
are 320 bills, almost all of them i
measures of a general nature, 1
the' local bills being rushed
through in the closing days of
the 1909 session.
There are a dozen or so bills
pending on the calendars which
have reference to the dispensary,
but practically all of these are
now out of date. Some of them ,

One requires a license tax of one
cent a gallon on all liquor distilled
in the State, and anothei
provides for an investigation of
; all of the dispensaries operating
in the State.
There are several road bills
pending in the house, and with
the general increase in interest
a practical sort in the subject
during the past year it looks as
\f the legislature will enact some
needed legislation. The bill attracting
most favorable attent
on is that pending in the house
bV Representative Cosgrovtf of
Charleston, providing for a State
highway commission composed
of a salaried State highway commissioner,
an assistant commissioner
and an advisory board
consisting of the heads of the
engineering departments of the
State colleges. The commissioner
is to supervise all permanent
road improvements, get
out plans for new roads, and
have supervision of all bridges
cost,ng $1,000 or more.
There are 20 insurance bills on
the calendars, about an equal
numSer touching practice in the
courts and seeking to change the
jury law, several game fish and
game bills, the usual number
and nature of bills seeking to
reform the tax department of

amendment to provide

FOR'
SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC
| NOT CONTEMPLATED
State Board of Health Claims to Have
! Situation Well in Hand.
No fear of a serious epidemic
! of smallpox is entertained by the
State board of health because
of the outbreak of a few sporadic
cases in a number of foci of in!
fection in several portions of the
1 State from time to time recently.
; Dr. C. Fred Williams, secretary
; ef the board, who has just visited
i Chesterfield, reports five cases
at jerterson and two other cases
in Chesterfield county. One
case has also been reported from
Marion county and five cases
from Landsford, Chester county,
j A extensive campaign of vaccination
has been undertaken by
the board and wherever smallpox
occurs vaccination and re-;
; vaccination is required of all who
, live in the community immediate!
ly upon the report of the out!
break, no matter how few are'
i the cases. "The public has become
educated to the wisdom of
vaccination," said Dr. Williams,
"and we do not meet with opposition
in our work in infected
| localities."
In his annual report Dr. Williams
will call attention to the i
1 situation in regard to smallpox
in this State. The quarterly
' meeting of the State board of j
health was held last Thursday
and reports were received from
various committees and from
! these statements the annual report
will be compiled. Dr. Williams
states that there has been
no serious spread of the disease
during the past year but that
there have been t'rom time to
time small outbreaks. The type
of smallpox prevailing in South
Carolina is ^f a more serious
I kind than in the past three or.
; four years. The most serious
1 infection was at Yorkvillc, where
9 out of 15 smallpox patients
died. The 4m-gest outbreak was
i at Ninety-nine Island recently in
i a camp of the Southern Power
'company, where there were 27
CRS6S
The State board of health has!
indorsed the method of quarantine
for smallpox and the treat-:
ment of the disease as set out in
i Dr. Williams' report. The main
points in this method are isolation i
I of the patient and a campaign of
vaccination.

The next time one of the children
catch cold, give it something that will
promptly and freely but gently move
| the bowels. In that way the cold will
at once be driven out of the system.
Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup
moves the bowels promptly and freelv, ,
i yet gently, and at the same time heals j
irritation and stops the cough. It is ,
S especially good for children. Sold by

You need a. sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest It.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
it is weak.
You must eat'in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because tho
body requires that you cat a sufficient
amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must l? digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proi>er way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol digest
the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
