HAVE YOU EVER
TAKEN CALOMEL?
Next Time Don't Do It, It's Dangerous.
Try Dodson's Liver-Tons l
Instead?It's Safe.
You ought to know what a dan
gorous and uncertain drug the chem
ical, calomel, is. I'erhaps you ^
know several people who have been
salivated by what they thought was
a very light doso of calomel.
Next time you have an attack of
biliousness, or when your liver has
gotten sluggish, come to Norton
drug store aud ask for a bottle of (
Dodson's Liver-Tone. You will j
find it a pleasant tasted liquid and a j
perfect substitute for calomel in
overy respect and without the dan- j
gcrous after effects of calomel.
Dodson's Liver-Tone gives the
liver just thn amount of gentle stimulation
it needs to induce it to do its *
work properly and thoroughly. Nor 1
ton drug store will give you your 1
money back any time Dodson's Liv- <
er-Tone fails to prove itself a per- '
fact substitute for calomel. 1

MAYOR REAVES RESIGNED
An Unfortunate and Deplorable Incident
Happened nt the Opening
Meeting of the County Campaign at

the Othorwise Peaceful Meeting;
The Town Marshal is Alleged to
Have Struck Mr. A. J. Brunson
Over the Head With Hie "Billy,*'

Loris, S. C., July 2Lst:?The
mooting at Loris was without special
incident, except that during the
day, A J Brunson, who drove up to

and worda ensued which load to an '
arrest, Mr Br unson receiving a
severe blow 011 the head, It is said. :
After the first difficulty had been
disposed of by the defendant giving <
bond, the trouble was renewed in or 1
near the Bank building at Boris, !
and this was the time when ihe cluobing
by the town marshal took place (
This affair created quite a lot of
talk and some excitement, some or
the people at the meeting taking '
the position that the deb ud nt had <
been severely dealt with. Several *
different taies drifted to Conway
concerning the affair. It appears ]
there had been a previous difficulty 1
between the Mayor and A J Lirun- '
son, over some business matters. It
was stated that the wardens of trie ?
town were against the Ma>or in the
action that he had taken against 1
the defendant. On Monday the 1
Mayor, Mr C M Reaves,resigned his office.
Monday wap appointed at 1
first a9 a lime for trying the mat- 1
ter in the town court, but later trie
trial was postponed until Tuesday,
ahd later it was stated that the
matter had been compromised.
Fence Your Stock.
Mr Editor: I have no doubt that
many of your reader* subscribe for
the Progressive Farmer. It should
be in the hands of every farmer in (
Horry County. I kuow of no paper j
that is more helpful. I wiah espeaially
to coinmeDd to your reader!
itn article appearing in that paper of (
July 20th about the stock law.
Our people are soon to vote on the
question, and the article referred to
in a clear dispassionate disoussion of !
the issue. It is useless for neighoors
to fall out over the question of
fence or no fence. I take it that it. (
s not so much a matter of individual
preference, but should be decided on
the broad basis of the public good,
[a it best for Horry County that
we go under the stock law, and fence
:>ur stock instead of our crops. I
for one am fully convinced that it is,
*nd would bo glad to discuss the
question with any one or at any pub
lie gathering. I think it by far the
unost important question to be settled
in the coming primary. I hope
Mr Fditor, that you will publish the
article referred to. I want to say
now. as I have stated in your colmns,
heretofore, that personally I
prefer fenciug my fields regardless
of whether we have stock law or
not, and, furthor, I have no personal
interest in the question, Hut 1
fully believe that the adoption of
th? no fenco law would do more to
advance the material interest of our j
county than any other single lino of
policy we might adopt. Tt is well
worthy of serious consideration. I 1
have no quarrel with those who do
not agree with me, but I know that
if we should try the experiment we
would not return to the present
plan,
Robt. B. Scarborough. ,
The Industrial School
There is still much interest in the
establishment of the Industrial '
School, and a meeting of the trustees
was held last week. In the per
raanent organization, Hon. R B
Scarborough was elected chairman,
L Burroughs. Treasurer, und
Paul Quattlebaum as Secretary. The 1
Rev E O Watson will oe the presl- 1
dent of the school. 1
The school will be located about
soron miles from Conway on the Con
way, Coast & Western Railroad, not
far from the Dog Bluff Public Road.
The work on the school will begin
in January 1913, and every effort 1
possible will be mr.ae to nave tnc
institution open its doors to students 1
by Septen ber of next year. Tbe '
executive committee is composed of '
Messrs HL Buck, Paul Quattlebaum
W L Bichardson, R B Scarborough,
LH Burroughs. The work of laying
out the land9, preliminary surveys,
etc., and many other details
necessary before the real work <
begins, we understand is in the
bands of this committee.

was a great pleasure to see
and meet wiih so many of you on

of prizes for this fall, also to send
out report blanks. We are pleased
with the resords many of you are
making. Some of yo i have already
beat?n Katie Gunter, of Aiken

1 regret that, a great roany of our
club members live so far from Conway,

is giving ilorry County an extra
meeting this summer.
On August 3rd, at Greon Sea
School House, Mr. C. 13. Ifadden
will talk to the Corn Club I3oy? and
Mr. James L Carberv will talk on
Tomato Culture, The latter will
give a canning demonstration also.
Order labels for cans from mo.
They will cost $1 10 per 1000 delivered
and with all necessary printed
matter on them. Less than 1000 at
same rate.
No. 3 Cans with solder hemmed
saps may be ordered rrom me ?outn
srn Can Co., Baltimore. Md.. at
about 2$ cents per can, provided
your order in lots of 1000 or more
sans. This price covers freight.
"Wo hope that the Corn Club
Boys and the Tomato Club Girls
will join forces and make a special
jffort to make the meeting at Greon
Sea a grand success.
It ought to be one of the mosb
pleasant and profitable days that
the boys and girls of the county
have ever known.
Mr D V Kichardson of Buck sport,
S. C.. has offered $10,00 in gold to
be given as a prize to the Tomato
Girls. Tills handsome prize will be
awarded at Greon Sea on August
3rd, to the club members who can
seal the greatest number of No. 3
cans in ten minutes. We will offer
to the girl who can label the largest
number of No- 3 cans in five minutes
a solid gold club erriblom.

Opening Tobacco Sale At Mullinsu
The Mnllins tobacco market is now
in full blast, having opened yesterday
at ac1 /ertised in last week's Enterprise.
According to their custom, the
warehousemen hold a meeting at
10 o'clock and drew I0I9 for position,
the first sale fallir-g to Farmer's
Warehouse, where a? the appointed
hour, W T Burton, tuo new auction
eer at Jim Neal's this season, had
the honor of selling the first pile
of new crop tobacco for 1912 There
was possibly three hundred or more |
persons in the house when the sale
opened, and Tom Burton's splendid
baritone voice rang out in stentorian
terms the bids as they came
thick and fast, and in a remarkable |
short space of time it became evi- 1
iont that Burton had not only the
^ar of the buyers but the farmers as <
well, and before the sale had'* progressed
very far he proved his abil
ty as au auctioneer. Thus another
fine auctioneer has been added to
the Mullins tobacco market.
There was in all, something like
200,000 pounds of the golden weed
offered on the opening sale. It was
