Revenue agents in South Carolina spent a busy month during November, assessing taxes and penalties amounting to over $65,000 and destroying over 16,000 gallons of beer as well as being active along other lines, according to the report of the month just closed received by the internal revenue officer from S. k. tframe, chief prohibition agent of the .Southern district.

Several worms, 237 gallons of liquor, 214 ferraenters, 16,045 gallons; of beer, six automobiles, and one ve-1 i hide were also taken by the officers i J " ? ~ ? ?v> + V.

Some Conscience! Pays Back Taxes. Philadelphia. Dec. 18.?A troubled conscience today resulted in the sending of a typewritten anonymous note to the receiver of taxes with $2,250 in cash. "For back personal taxes improperly made out, due the city and state," the note read. This is the equivalent of taxes at four mills on an excess of $500,000 of personal nroperty. No conscience has ever before been so troubled as to pay that amount owed the citv without the prospectus of detection. | Waterman's Fountain Pen Tnk in all the different size bottles at Herald Book Store.

First National Bank Directors Declare Dividend.?Fine Condition. At a meeting of the directors of the First National Bank on Wednesday, December 15th, it was decided to pay an eight per cent, dividend, leaving a nice sum to go to surplus and undivided profits. This institution was converted into a national bank in May of this year, being the only national bank in Bamberg county. The stockholders and directors have pulled together, and the results are shown by their showing for the first year's business. The bank will show, it was stated, a profit of nearly .of nearly 25 per cent, for this year, witnout a dollar's loss since converting, besides having charged off $1,250 before being converted. This is an unusual showing, especially in a year like the present one. The bank is being run along broad lines, for the good of the town and county and it has the best wishes of the people generally for many years of successful endeavor. GET MORE BUTTER. Mrs. Hattie Meece, of Glenn, Missouri, says: "1 was not making enough butter from my cow's milk production for a family of two. After using Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders a short time, she gave a half gallon more milk a day, and a pound of butter a day." Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders give to milk cows just what is needed to keep the digestive organs in proper condition, so that they get the most possible good from their feed. Give equally wonderful results when used for horses, hogs, and sheep, hecause they are a tonic, appetizer and worm expeller. It matters not what ailment you may have among your stock or poultry, it will pay you to get the proper Dr. LeGear Remedy from your ! dealer.
