CAREy-COTH?AW \ LAW OIVKN A BAP State Baptist Convention Adepts Me morial to Legislature, Praying for Repeal of State Liquor Law. Orangeburg, Dec. 7.?The State Bap tist Convention, at its session tonight, hit the Carey-Cothran law a severe rap, and a memorial to the State Legisla ture, praying that the law be repealed, was adopted by a unanimous vote. There can be no misunderstanding the voice of the body. Congress is also to be memorialized and petitioned to amend the Inter-State commerce law so as to prohibit shipping liquor into dry territory, and to put a stop to the iasuance of United -States licenses to men living in dry territory. The re port prayed for the passage of the Dol liver-Littlefield bill now pending before Congress. The following extracts are from the petition to the State Legislature: "Recent developments have disclosed the fact that a county dispensary is only a reproduction on a reduced scale of the State dispensary. The county dispensary, like the State institution, is a centralized political power under liquor domination. It is obnoxious to democratic principles in its conception, its character and its conduct. "It is ever ready to impose itself up on unwilling communities in the face of petition and protest. It is alert, ac tive and aggressive, and pushes the sale of liquor as rapidly as possible, and then boasts of its revenue. It does not hesitate to resort to trickery in or der to increase its traffic.and the Legis lature is asked to repeal the Carey Cothran law and enact in its stead a prohibition law, and provide for its rigid enforcement." The Convention decided that these petitions should be presented by a com mittee in person, and the following were instructed, to present the two pe titions in Washington and Columbia: Charles A. Smith, John A. Brunson, Louis Bristow, Simeon Hyde, B. J. Woodward, J. H. Boldridge, H. L. Baggott, L. A. Mitchell, R. N. Pratt, W. C. Lindsay and C. E. Purts. Laurcns a Hustling Town.

Good Cough Medicine for Children. The season for coughs and colds is now at hand, and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much mor^ likely to contract diph theria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. P. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says: "I have never used anything' other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children, and it has always given good satisfaction." This remedy contain*- io opium or other nar cotic, and maj oe jj-iven as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by Laurens Drug Co.
