I find so much of goodness still; In men whom MEN pronounce divine, I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two-where God has not." THURSDAY, MAY 8. 1913 The woods are full of candidates to succeed Associate Justice Woods. Senator Tillman says that if the lowering or abolition of tar - - I-:.? in raxes is 10 wmg aw?i cv??^ houses ami a general slmt down, the sooner the better. That is the most sensible utterance wo have heard from Senator Tillman since many moons. The Democratic party's tariff doctrine is on trial and if it be a failure, the sooner the country at large finds it out the better for us all. But we do not believe that tariff revision downward will l>e a failure. It is ;? dull season in matters political when the Hon John P Grace, mayor of the city of Charleston, does not attempt to raise some kind of disturbance. Mayor Grace's Latest exhibition in his particular ? line is an effort to hold up the seating of Hop Richard S Whaley, Congressman-elect from the First district. Mayor Grace fought against Whaley's election to the i very last ditch, and when his efforts failed of accomplishment, he whines like a sulky child, alleging that 1 Whaley "didn't play fair" in the nolitical came. If the honorable M * Mayor of Charleston would refresh his memory a bit he miglit recall that some pretty ugly things were said anent his political methods during and after the strenuous campaign that landed him in the , Mayor's office. With all confidence we predict that Congressman Whaley will take his seat, to which he is declared elected by the State Democratic Executive committee, with out any serious inconvenience or embarrassment, Mayor Grace to the contrary notwithstanding.

Calomel was for years the only nown medicine that would stimulate he liver. Hut calomel is often dan;erous and people are not to be lamed for being afraid of it. Within the last few years many nedicines have been put out to be ised instead of calomel, but their ffect is on the boiirls?not on the iver. Dr W V Brockington says hat the only real liver medicine to j ictually take the place of calomel is I dodson's Liver Tone, a mild, harm- j ess, vegetable liquid that he recom- | nends to take the place of calomel ; ind which gives prompt relief in ases of constipation, biliousness and | iluggish liver. So confident is Dr Brockington f hat he giv?s his personal guarantee | vith every 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. You can be sure that fou are getting Dodson's by asking it this store if they are giving you :he medicine they personally guarintee to refund money on if unsatsfactory. adv Please Take Notice!
