Wednes day was badly broken Into by the numerous elections, so the week’s work, purely aa legislators from a law-making point of view, was rath er a failure.' The number of bills Introduced In both houses, howev er, has reached more than 300, so It la generally, edheeded that much more work has been done fhan was formely the case. Many of these bills are of a local nature, and many of them are before their respective committees, and will be reported to their respective houses next week, so the legislative mill will have com to grind. * * a .1.

One of the principal lights to he waged at this session of the legis lature will be on the tiuestion of to tal prohibition. A bill has already been introduced to this end. The sentiment in the legislature, we un derstand. is strong for total prohi bition. The lower house Is almost stgre to go for it overwhelmingly Fennell, of Rock Hill; Dr. W. G. Houseal. of Newberry;. Dr. R. E. Hughes, of t-aurens. whose terms will soon expire, and to Dr. C. N. Wvatt, of Pickens, who recently died. The result of the ballot was as follows: Dr. J. M. Davis... 99 W. W . Fennell . . .141 \v G. Houseal.... . . 96 R. w. R. Hughes.... .114 S. Lvnch.... .113 S. and the only question as to the out I jy r ^ n come will be the attitude the Senate will take. Governor Manning In his message to the legislature does not favor total prohibition, but rather a reduction in the amount allowed to be imported by indidviduals. It Is 4hso understood that the Antl- Saloon League favors a quart a month. The ('oileton delegation will stand solidly for total prohibition and in the event of failure to secure this, for the lowest possible allowance per month. Twice the people of South Car olina have spoken in no uncertain terms, asking for prohibition. Once the State dispensary was given as a substitute, followed by the county dispensary. This in turn by the gal-| lon-a-month law which has proven such a farce during the past year. It is high time that the people are given a n opportunity to test total prohibition, and we should not be at all surprised to see the legisla ture enact this law Breed i n 33 Wyman, Sr .115 CASTOR IA For Iftfeats tad Children In Um For Ovnr 30 Ytars Always bears the Signature ot NLOAVN I.IMMKNT FOR STIFF JOINTS Rheumatic pains and aches get Into the joints and muscles, making every movement torture.

Every druggist in town—your druggist and everybody’s druggist has noticed a great falling-off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone is taking its pla< e. "Calomel is dangerous and peo ple know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results." said a promipen; local druggist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is personally guaranteed hy every druggist who sells it A large bot tle costs 50 cents, and if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liv er sluggishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your mon ey back. Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleas- ant-tasting. pu-elv vegetable rem edy. harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake un feeling fine: no bilious ness. sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause inconvenience aH the ne*t day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel today and tomor row you will feel weak sick and nauseated.- Don’t lose a day's work! Take Dodson’s Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of vigor and am bition. m Friends and Patrons The Barber Shop heretofore known as the Never Wait Barber Shop has been purchased by me and will be under entirely new management.
