Absolute Prohibition.
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

will soon expire, and to Dr. C. N.

died.

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

Sheriff Lucas C. Padgett was in
Columbia several days during the
week. The delegation gave him a
hearing upon the matter of provid
ing a portion of the salary of the
deputy sheriff. Sheriff Padgett ex
plained that his office paid a salary
of 11,300 aud about $250 in fees,
but that it required a QpnRiderabl*-
outlay to earn the $250 in fees, as
it was necessary for him to serve
papers all over the county. The
delegation unanimously agreed to
grant the request of Sheriff Padgett,
and also to pay 40 cents per day for
dieting prisoners instead of 30 cents
as at present.

No odds how bad your liver,
stomach or bowels, how much your
lead aches, how miserable and un
comfortable you are from a cold,
constipation, indigestion, biliousness
and sluggish bowels-—you always
get relief with Uascarets.
Don’t let your stomach, liver and
jewels make you miserable. Take
Uascarets to-night; put an end to
the headache, biliousness, dizziness,
nervousness, sick, sour, gassy stom
ach, bad cold, offensive breath ami
all other distress: cleanse your in
side organs of all the bile, gases
and constipated matter which is pro
ducing the misery.
A Irt-cent box means health, hap
piness and a clear head for months.
All druggists sell Uascarets. Don’t

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.
