I sure do The Senate Passes a Bill to Appro priate from the Dispensary Fund $15,00 to Prosecute Grafters. Columbia, Fbb. 13.—When the house has passed the appropriation bill it is always considered that the biggest job of the session is finished. And when the house breaks the record and passes the appropriation bill in one morning, it would seem that the house was getting along well towards ad journment. Therefore it was not sur prising that the house refused to con sider the resolution proposed by Sen ator Blease and adopted by the sen ate proposing to remain in session until March 2nd. and finish up the heavy ealnders. The prospect is that the legislature will conclude its work on February 22nd. The senate has got rid of the two measures which have brought out so much debate, the lien law and the rate hill. These two matters have been discussed in all their phases. A vote was reached on the Crouch hill to repeal the mercantile lien law on Wednesday morning, when the repeal hill was passsd by a vote of 17 to 10. This hill is similar to the Richiirds hill which has passed the house. Then the senate took up the Hydrick bill, which seeks to make invalid mort gages on ungrown crops, and which the house has also passed, it being held by many that it will be futile to repeal the lien law unless the Hydrick hill or a similar measure is enacted. On the passage of this bill the vote was 16 to 16 and Lieut. Gov. McLeod cast the deciding vote against the bill. So '^at the Hydrick hill was not passed. YTiaf will be the effect of passing the repeal hill without the other remains to be seen, and there is difference of opinion even among those who want thg lien law repealed. The vote on the rate hill was reach ed on Wednesday night, when by a vote of 18 to 14 the Carlisle sun- stitute for the Toole bill was passed. The Carlisle hill incorporates practi cally the propositions of President Finley to reduce th$ passenger fares to two and one-half cents per rmle, with provisions for mileage hooks, etc. The house will doubtless accept the senate hill, as a bill veducing the rates passed the house last year. By a vote of 27 to the senate pass ed the hill to set asijde from the dis pensary funds the gum of $15,000 for obtaining evidence find prosecuting the State dispensary cases. The appropriation • bill this year carries no startling Items, and the Increases are principally the follow ing: $30,000 for the new building at the University of South Carolina; $80,000 for Improving the police bar racks for the Citadel and a few slight kfweases of clerks salaries. There is no increase in the salaries of State officials, as recommended ,by the gov ernor. The only items which were fought were the appropriation for fur ther improving the State house grounds, $10,000; for high schools, $50,000, and $3,500 for the Confeder ate reunion, the last item being strlcb- en out. The $48,000 for the Wjntbrop dormitory is not included, being in a separate bill, nor is the $12,000 which is also given in a separate bill for the establishmeht of. an infirmary for Confederate veterans. The supply bill, which fixes the levy, is now in and the state levy is fixed at five and one-half mills, as against four and one-half in 1907 and five In 1906. Senator Brooks’ bill tc establish a Confederate veterans infirmary, to which two aged and infirm veterans from each county shall be admitted, wag vigorously fought in the house, it having airoody passed the senate. Members took the position that the veterans did not want it and tha this wag not the way in which to pi ovide for them. Bnt the bill passed second reading hr a vote of 43 to 39 ami third reading by a vote of 55 to 47. The several insurance bills occu pied the house’s whole time during the two sessions of Wednesday and the net result of the discussion and rating was the following: 1 Passage of Dr. Says*’ bill prohibit- what is known as “board con- of cash equal thereto, was amended dogs after a rhbbit.

There is hardly a family in'Gaffney where there are not one or more members who suffer at times from l&e effects of a weak stomach. It may be that this occurs only at- ter eating some food that doc? wot agree, or because of a supper late at night; or It may be that fhe stomach Is so weak that scarcely any food can be eaten without pain and distress. The only way to treat a condition of this kind successfully Is with Ml- o-na. It removes the cause of Indi gestion, weakness of the muscles of the stomach and bowel*, and restores the whole digestive system to health and strength so that It takes cars of all the food that Is eaten. Get well and strong by using Ml-o- na tablets. Take the remedy at the s -, first symptom of indigestion, when yon can be cured easily with a few doses. However, no case of stomach trouble Is too severe or chronic for Mi-o-na to overcome. The Gaffney Drug Co. sells It an absolute guarantee to refund^ money unless it cures.
