niercial activity. But how are wt
to promote it?
We need a closer community o
interests between the farmer and hi
family and the town man and hi;
family. In many ways each is do
pendent upon the good will of th<
other, but few of us seem to realiz<
this.
Too many of us are strangers t<
each other in this community
where we should all be brothers ant
dwell together in unity for the com
a
anon good of all.
L i
If cooperation is good in commer
cial affairs it would be of equa
benefit in private and social life. I
would afford us a more intimat
knowledge of humanity and a broad
er perspective of life, and the re
sultant spirit of good fellowshi]
would be felt in a thousand ways.
A year of "getting together'
would stamp a wonderful imprin
upon the heart, the soul and th<
conscience of this community.
We can materially benefit thi
town and our farming community
if we l>egin right now to make it j
rt * ^
year of production and prosperity
It would be difficult to find on<
among us who could not in som<
manner increase the result of hi:
#
labors during the coming year, an<
with each of us persevering to thii
end the year's profits would moun
high in the financial column of loca
achievement.
While considering our own indi
vidual interests we might dwell als<
upon those of the community ir
which we dwell, for what is of value
to all of the people is of equal value
to us.
But we can without detriment, oi
jntonvenience, or expense remembqr
that we are all neighbors, and
friends, and brothers, and so act
*>ne to the other, to the end that
peace, harmony and happiness maj
be our lot for the coming year.
-A Blind Tiger Law.
In tins paper will he noted what
is now known as the Liles hill,which
will very probably he enacted into a
law at the next meeting of the General
Assembly in January. This
bill should meet the approval oi
every citizen in the State who voted
for, or is in favor of the new prohib
i |
ition law which will become effective
January 1. This bill provides a
punishment for blind tigers, and
that punishment is a chaingang
sentence pure and simple, without
the alternative of a fine. It should
be made a law without delay by the
General Assembly, and it is generally
hoped that it will be, for with a ,
chaingang sentence staring a man in
the face, especially a white man, he
will more than likely think twice
, before he leaps into a net that will
will land him on the county chaingang
without the alternative, as
| provided by the present law, of
1 paying a fine. A white m n has a
l natural horror of "serving on the
gang," while he does not so much ;

Well Known R<
Relieve
Important to Dtspose of Waste from
the Stomach With Regularity.
People frequently attribute to
failure of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive
bowels, and apply remedies
that from their very nature are
more apt to aggravate than to relieve
the disorder.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted tasks and can usually
be depended upon. To keep the
bowels in condition there is no more
effective remedy than the combination
of simple laxative herbs known
as Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which
is sold in drug stores for fiftv cents
a bottle.

WAR ON BUND TIGERS.
Proposed Law for Punishment
by Imprisonment Instead of Fine
Representative Liles of Orangeburg
has already framed a bill to
be introduced in the next General
Assembly amending the law as regards
blind tigers, etc. The alternative
of a fine for conviction is
abolished, and the bill proposes to
put liquor sellers on the gang instead
of allowing them to pay a fine,
which comes in the nature of a
license. The bill is as follows:
A BILL
To Amend Section 811, Volume II.,
Criminal Code, 1912, in Reference
to Intoxicating Liquors.
Be it enacted by the General Asi
semblv of the State of South Carolina:
Section 1. That Section 811,
Volume II, Criminal Code, 1912, be

j therefor to be known and designated
Section 811.
"Section 811. Any person who
i violates any of the provisions of
Section 794 to 80,';,inclusive, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
1 conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned
at hard labor for not less than
, six months nor more than five years,
and for any subsequent offense, upon
conviction, shall be imprisoned
for a term of not less than one year,
I nor more than five years. Provid'ed.
That any Circuit Judge may, in
his discretion, suspend all of such
imprisonment except three months
I upon such terms and conditions as
; he may see fit to impose, but in each
and every case any person convicted
' of the violation of any of said sections
shall be required to serve at
least three months of the sentence
imposed upon him."
Section 2. That this act shall take
j effect immediately upon its approval
i by the Governor, and all acts or
parts of acts inconsistent with this
act, be, and the same are hereby
