Jenkins has a permit dated August —, 1898, allow ing him to make whiskey in Cherokee county, provided the distillery is not located within two miles of any church or public school building. It is needless to say that the conditions have changed since that permit was granted. More than that he violated the terms of that permit as found by your board more than a year ago, and it does seem to me that that permit should he considered as revoked be cause of his breach. But be that as it may, the State board has ample authority to revoke it at any time. And this is the expressed wish of Cherokee county, as shown by vote at last November election. So I feel sure that your board will revoke it, if in your opinion there is any force, or virtue in it now. Will you kindly take the matter up and let me hear from you as we wish to keep the still from getting started again. If necessary we can bring you a petition signed by a thousand of our best people protesting against its establishment. “I am writing this at the request of the people interested, and will appre ciate a prompt reply. “Very truly yours, , “J. C. Otts..” what bearing the election voting 01 the dispensary will have upon permit to distill. “I will request attorney general t give an opinion, if he can do so.. M moral opinion is that said electioi did adjust the whole matter relativ to whiskey being bought, sold or db tilled in Gaffney, but the legal poin I am not positive of. I would b pleased at any time to hear argumen pro and con upon this importan point. “Awaiting your further pleasure, 1 am, “Yours most respectfully, “H. H. Evans, “Chairman State Board Directors It had been hoped that it would not be necessary to appeal to the people of Cherokee county a second time in regard to the liquor business. Bui acting upon the suggestion of above letter we ask every qualified (white) elector to sign petition like the fol lowing: “We, the undersigned qualified (white) electors of Cherokee county, respectfully protest against the mak ing of whiskey in Cherokee county; and earnestly pray tho Honorable Board of Dispensary Directors to revoke the permit issued to J. F. Jenkins, allowing him to distill liquor in Cherokee township. We further request that no other permit be granted to any other person or per sons ; and for such your peti tioners will ever pray.” “Hon. J. C. Otts, “Gaffney, S. C. “Dear Sir:—Yours of even date to hand, contents noted. As far as my memory serves me, I think that the Jenkins permit was not revoked at the hearing he had at our meeting. I think the whole issue was based and determined on the two mile church or school limit. I had hoped that after the result of the last elec tion upon dispensary or no dispen sary we would hear no more of this matter. Of course legally he has his Liermit still, and I would sug gest thx t your suggestion as to pe tition be presented. Of course Mr. Jenkins should he advised that such petition is being circulated request ing the board to revoke his permit. You also could present or refer the whole matter to the board of direct ors, as I am only one of three I can not tell what the attitude of the board may be in the matter. As there is no county board in Gaffney, the State hoard will have full and com plete jurisdiction. I do not know Petitions will be circulated in Gaff ney, Blacksburg, and other sections of the county. This is a matter that must appeal to the best of our citi zenship. If no petition is presented to you clip out the above and sign your name and mail to J. C. Otts, Gaffney, S. C., at once, as he will pre sent all petitions to the State board at an early date. Will not some man or woman in every community see that the above petition is presented to his neigh bor and as soon as signed mailed to Mr. Otts at Gffney? A Cigar Factory.

Acne, Tetter Eczema iSalt Rheum Psoriasis Nettle Rash terror An itcaing, burning skin disease during the hot, sultry summer weather, is a positive t and a veritable demon of discomfort. The intolerable itching and stinging are tanta lizing almost beyond endurance, and the unsightly eruption and rough, red skin keep one thoroughly uncomfortable and miserable night and day. Eczema, Tetter, and diseases of this type are caused by acid poisons in the blood, which the heat of summer seems to warm into life and renewed activity. These fiery acids keep the blood in a riotous and sour condition, and the skin unhealthy and feverish—they inflame the pores and retard perspira tion, when the whole body feels like an over-heated furnace, and the escaping poison bums and bli sters like liquid fire. To the skin disease sufferer, summer time brings no joy, but is a season of unrest, sleep less nights and incessant pain, resulting in shattered nerves, physical exhaustion and gen eral derangement of all the vital forces. Scratching is a pleasant recreation to one tor mented and almost distracted by an aggravating itching skin eruption. Some find tempor ary relief in bathing and the application of lotions and salves. A few hours respite is gained by such methods, but nothing applied externally can alter the condition of the blood | v or check the outflow of the burning fluids through the skin. Only persistent and faithful ^constitutional treatment can do this. The acid poison in the blood, which is the real cause of the emption, must be attacked, and when the blood has been cleared of all accumulated impu rities and restored to a healthy condition, then, and only then, will a thorough and lastin cure be effected, and for the accomplishment of all this, no remedy equals S.

In 1896 I experienced at times patches on the inside ot my hands that itched and burned, causing much dis comfort. As time went by it grew worse. I had read medicine in my early twenties (now 50 years of age) and was convinced that I was afflicted with a type of Eczema. I consulted several physicians and a number of specialists, and used several external applications, one of which was claim ed to be a certain specific. I confess, however, I hail but little faith in external applications, yet I used them, receiving but slight temporary relief. In February I decided to try S. S. S., andin less than a month I experienced a change for the better, and by May of that year all symptoms had dis appeared, and I found myself entirely cured, and have had no return of the disease since.

For three j-ears I had Tetter on my hands, which caused them to swell to twice their natural size. Fait of the time the disease was in the form of running sores, very pain ful, and causing me much discomfort. Four doctors said the Tetter had progressed too far to be cured, and they could do nothing for me. I took only three bottles of S. S. S. and was completely cured. This was fifteen years ago, and I have never since seen any sign of my old trouble. Mrs. L. B. Jackson, 837 St. Paul St, Kansas City, Kan.

Victims of catarrh of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh of the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic organs, are to be counted by hundreds of thou sands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the seed of chronic catarrh within the system. This is so true that few grip sufferers are able to make a complete recovery until they have used Peruna. Never in the history of medicine has a remedy received such unqualified and universal eulogies as Peruna. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of yonr case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis. Cured of Obstinate La Grippe. Henry Distin, the inventor and maker of band instruments for the Henry Distin Mfg. Co., at Williamsport, Pa., is probably the most active old man in Philadelphia to-day. Ho writes from 1441 S. 9th street, Philadelphia, Pa.: “I write to inform you that I had a bad attack of la grippe last December which lasted more than three mouths, and which left me with catarrh, and several of my friends advised me to try your wonderful medicine, Peruna. “I began with a bottle tho first week in March and it certainly did me a great deal of good. “I was so well satisfied that I purchased another bottle, and followed yonr directions which you furnish with every bottle, and I am glad to say that it has cured me.
