FERGUSON Over H. Terry's Store Laurens, South Carolina MANY PUBLIC SCHOOLS MAY BE CLOSED - Governor Hlease Still Refuses to. Act with State Treasurer and Coniptrol ler General. Columbia, March 30.?The governor of South Carolina has refused to act with the State treasurer and the comp troller general, members of the State's financial board and as a result many of the schools of the State may have to close down earlier than usual. Some definite action must be taken tomor row. State Superintendent of Educa tion Swearlngen has sent letters to all members of the board cal'lng at tention to the immodlntr? need of $30,000. Tho borrowing of this money is made necessary 'because of the one mill school tax law passed at the last session of the general assembly. The collection of the tax will not begin until next October and in the mean time at least $150,000 must be secured. Those In touch with the situation say that the banks will refuse to take the notes of the State unless signed by the governor. The matter has been put squarely up to the chief executive and in an Interview In the local afternoon paper he said that he would not act with the other officials. He charged that the situation had been brought about by the general assembly and that he was not responsible. In a letter several days ago State Superintendent of Education Swear lngen said that 25,000 white school children would be thrown out of school If the money was not secured at an early date. The matter has rocked along all of last week and now It seems as if something must be done. Rifle Itangc. W. W. Moore, the adjutant gener al Is expected to close the deal this week for the purchase of 1,000 acres of land in Lexington county for the State rifle range. Tho property will be secured for $12,500 options having been secured on the tract several months ago by the adjutant general. The rifle range is at present located at Charleston, the lease having ex pired last year. The. tract In Lexing ton county will very ] robably be used . for encampment purposes. The attor ney general will very probably make 't report on the titles of the land tomor ? row. ? Columbia Growing. , The growth of Columbia during the } past several years has been remark ? able.

If your horse could talk he would ask you not to use any external remedy containing alcohol because it slings and tortures his flesh terribly. Some liniments have alcohol and other fiery ingredients which only inflame the skin and tissue without sinking down to where the pain lies. Beware of such liniments. The great humane, quick-acTion remedy is MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT. Made of oils, without a drop of alcohol or other torturing element, it soaks straight to the bone and muscle. It soothes the wounded part3 and is comforting while the healing work is progressing. Mexican. Mustang Liniment is what you want because it Makes your work lighter, saves your livestock from suffering and keeps them in good trim for work. For all forms of Lameness, Strains, Bruises, Cuts, Bums, Galls and Harness Sores in animals, it is safe and prompt and does not promise what it cannot perform. Mustang Linimen. has been doing its wonderful healing work for 65 years. The amount of money it has saved livestock owners is incalculable. One man writes that he was about to kill his valuable horse because badly injured but Mustang Liniment made him well again. A Vet erinary tells us he has used Mustang Liniment fifteen years and found it best liniment for cuts, strains, etc. And many others are enthusiastic friends of this tried and fame remedy. Now you know just what makes Horses so Happy. wagons Carriages Wagono carnagea Harness Automobiles ? wm iW9.Mb.W) wm mm mj& WMt~WSr=Wsr A Carload of "STUDEBAKERS" We have just received a carload of Studcbcker v/agons Come in and lock them over.
