MRS. WM. ARCHER Tells Mothers What To Do For Delicate Children. "My fourteen-year-old daughter was very thin and delicate. She had a bad cough so that I became very much alarmed about her health. She was nervous and did not sleep well, had very little appetite and doctors did not help her. Having heard so much about Vlnol, I decided to give it a trial. It has helped her wonderfully. She can sleep all night now without coughing once; in fact, her cough is gone. Her appetite Is greatly Im proved and she has gained in weight. Vlnol Is a wonderful medicine, and I will always Keep it in the house. I wish every mother knew what Vinol will do for delicate children." Mrs. Wm. Archer, 223 Broadway, Long Branch, N.

The war rant was sworn out by 13. A. Whar ton, a deputy from the office of F. H. McMastcr, State Insurance commis sioner. Before daybreak Saturday morn ing, April '9, a barn and storehouse belonging to Mrs. J. M. Richardson were destroyed by lire. The. buiuld ings destriyed were on the lot on which the Richardsons reside, in ad dition to this being the third fire on the Richardsons premises within the past few years, an affidavit made by Martha Frazier, a negro woman, al leges that on Thursday, a few days before the fire, she stored With Capt. Richardson a lot of furniture and household goods; that the morning ufter the fire she was told by Capt. Richardson that her goods had been destroyed; that learning that her ef fects had been removed the day be fore the fire to Capt. Richardson's farm a few miles in the country, she located these and under claim and delivered proceedings regained posses sion of them. Richardson had in surance in the sum of $600 which he collected without difficulty. Deputy Wharton has been in Alken investigating events connected with the fire for the past week or,ten days. Capt. Richardson was placed in jail today and stated late this after noon that the charges against him are only a "frame up." Ife attributes bis arrest to politic.ts and prosecution. He states that the furniture which the Frazier woman stored with him had been taken under a mortgage held by R. B. Carter, but that the woman had paid the mortgage and he had endeavored to get her to move her goods, and explained that a part of her goods had been removed to his farm several months ago because he had no room for them in town. Until a short while ago Capt. Rich ardson was commander of the local military company;, the Alken Rifles, which was mustered out of service a few months ngo. In the buildings which were burned he had stored a lot of property belonging to the niili tary company, and when the firemen arrived they were prevented from lighting the fire by the explosion of a large number of cartridges which en dangered their lives. Capt. Richard son sustained slight. injury by the explosion of one of these cartridges. A preliminary hearing will be held tjclr/ourow morning at which time Capt. Richardson will apply for bail.

Columbia, May 15.?That there is uo statute by the State of South Caro lina prohibiting the importation of whiskey from another State for per sonal use and that the Webb act gives the State the right to enact such a statute. If it so desires, is the decision of the supreme court In de ciding a case testing the constitution ality or the Webb act which was pass ed by Congress, withdrawing the pro tection of interstate commerce from whiskey shipments from one state to toother, The supreme ecyirt held that the old dispensary act forbidding the ordering of whiskey for personal use from other. States, - having heen declared unconstitutional, before the passage of Jthe Webb act, could not be vitalized by the passage of the Webb act. Intention of Aet. "it is not the intention of the Webb act to interfere with the pol icy of the State In regard to the im portation of liquor but meroly to pro vide that the enforcement of a State statute would not be interfered with or hampered by th-a Interstate com merce laws," says the decision. "In other words, the act in this respect is passive, ' continue* the de cision, "while it is Incumbent on the State to enact logiskuion of an ac tive nature If they are desirous of prohibiting the importation of liquors for personal use or other purposes, hut even if congress had undertaken to give validity to an unconstitutional State statute it would h.ivo bo.OU be yond its powers. Power of Legislature. "While the legislature can not pass an aet, validating .the provisions of the dispensary statute which wo have declared to be unconstitutional, so to give it a retroactive effetit, nevertheless, has the power to adopt a statute with similar provisions hav ing a prospective effect, prohibiting alcoholic liquors from being Import ed into this State. "Such ;i statute would not contra vene any provision of the United States constitution. As we have al ready said, the recent act of congress divests intoxicating liquors of their interstate commerce character and invests the respective States with power either to prohibit the importa tion absolutely or allow it only for sale and use throubh a dispensary. The classification of the counties, so as to allow the sale of liquor in some of them while it is not prohibited in others, would not he; vlolatlve of sec tion 1 of the 1 Ith amendment to the constitution of the United States which provides that, no State shall deny to any person within its juris diction the nil protection of the laws." Case From ltichland. The case arose in Rlchland county through W. W. Atkinson bringing a suit to secure an Injunction against the Southern Express Company from enforcing its order refusing to deliver shipments of whiskey in South Car olina for personal use. The Injunc tion was granted by the court, the decision being written by Chief Jus tice Gary and concurred In by As sociate Justices Woods, Hydrlck and Watts. Associate Justice Fraser says: "I concede that the above statement so strongly made is correct, but I dissent from the judgment. The reg ulation complained of In the petition refers exclusively to interstate com merce, and I think this court has no jurisdiction to Interfere." A test case was brought under the same conditions In Kershaw county and the eou/t granted the injunction in thi;5 case on the same grounds as that from Rlchland.- -The State. Card of Thanks.

Taylor, who was cor ried to the Laurcns Hospital last week, is doing nicely. It Is sincerely hoped that he will soon have a com plete recovering. We are oft times made to wonder why there are always lorge crowds at worldly entertainments and so few go out to church. But when the words of Christ testify that "but few walk In the straight and narrow way that leads to life", a reason is brought to view. Indeed some are hindered b> sickness and other reasonable ev cuses, but so many bang around the stores and under the shade trees when to be honest with their own soul and with God they should be at church.
