* Must Get License.
All drug stores that handle
certain commodities that enter
f into the making of explosives
f must be licensed. There will be
s no difficulty about obtaining
the licenses as the lirensirior
agent in each county is the clerk
' of court, and in some counties
e there is more than one agent.
All wholesale druggists must
have licenses and they are not
permitted to sell to other drug,
gists unless the druggist in ape
plying for the commodities prey
scribed gives the serial number
i. of the license. This is a mandatory
provision of the bureau of
, mines which has in charge the .
enforcing of the law against the
use of explosives.
The State inspector* William
fW. I
vuiiiwi ai vvt wiiivi l lll^ Willi tll^
^ State advisory council, has decided
to call this matter again to
the attention of the druggists of
f the State and to urge them to
r take out licenses at once if they ,
t have on hand or propose to get
s any of the commodities named
e in the prescribed list. There is
- a heavy penalty for non-come
pliance and the law will be
enforced rigidly.

NOTED OUTLAW TO LECTURE
f AT MAJESTIC THEATRE.
s
. Emmett Dalton, the only survivor of
1 the Dalton gang of outlaws which
? operated in the southwest years ago,
f is coming to Fort Mill. Mr. Daiton is
_ to exhibit a motion picture and deliver ^
_ a lecture at the Majestic Theatre next
,_ Monday.
" This picture includes a reproduction
** of the famous raid on the banks at
5- Coffeyville, Kan., in which all the
J. members of the Dalton gang except
j Emmett were killed and in which he
was wounded and captured. Emmett
Dalton was given a life sentence in the
Kansas penitentiary, served fourteen j
1- years, and was pardoned by Governor |
's Hoch. Since that time he has been a
y model citizen. For some time he has
been traveling and lecturing and exhibiting
motion pictures, the only
t"~ picture of the kind in which one of the
1- participatns in the scenes portrayed
1_ actually appears as an actor.
Emmett Dalton is a fine looking,
, dignified gentleman today, and probably
no one meeting him would suspect
IS that he is a man with such a stirring
[ S past. His lecture is said by many who
have heard it to be a very strong argui
ment against lawlessness and is filled
with good advice for boys and young
s" men, whom Mr. Dalton urires to lead
fS upright lives and obey the laws of the
,y land.
