Cotton la worth more than the market prlco and later on the mills will be scram? bling for It ? ? ? Qov. Ansel will recommend the re? peal of the Hen law, It la said, but what Is more Important and Influen? tial with the legislature, the people are demanding that It be repealed with? out further delay. ? ? ? The claim that the dispensary Is o step towurd prohibition got a black eye when the Alken county board es? tablished a dispensary at North Au guata. We believe rhat the dispensary system Is to be preferred to prohibi? tion such aa wo have in South Caroli? na, but we ace no excuse for the es? tablishment of th'i North Augusta dis? pensary. It la a money making prop? osition pure and simple and is on the same foetlng as the blind tigers that are operated In the city of Augusta In defiance of the Georgia law. The Alken county board probably has the legal light to opere.te a dispensary in North Augusta, but by so doing a moral wrong is committed against the [people of Augusta. It is a sordid pro speeding and If there Is any legal way 'to put an end to It no time should be lost In having it closed. If the peo plo of Augusta want liquor bad enough to go all the wry to Alken to get It no objection will be raised, but it Is not right or decent to open a liquor shop right um' n* their noses. ? ? ? ? A well posted real estate man who has taken some pains to get his fact* from first hands says that more than $?00,000 were expended In building operations In Sumter during 1907 and every - dollar of this went into resi? dences and public buildings?It being a remarkable fact that no now busi? ness houses were erected last year, due no doubt* to tho large amount In evsted the previous year In the hand? some block of stires on the old court ho two square. ' ? e ? There la one enterprise In behalf of which the chamber of commerce should put forth Its best efforts this year. If this organisation of business men succeeds In nothing else during 1908 it will have accomplished a work of inestimable value to Sumter if It can be the means of opening up direct railway connection with the Shi1o\ section The Betts railroad hae grossed Black river and is being extended In the direction of Beulah, but unites the road Is brought into the city from its present northern termi? nus at the Betts mill, three miles east o fthe city, it will never he of benefit to Sumter There Is no use In hunting; all over creation for new en? terprises for Sumter until the oppor? tunities at our own doors have been utilised and improved. This railroad to Shlloh, through one of the best sections in the State, is one of the greatest opoprtunltles Sumtei has ev? er had for self-help, and as the great? er part of tho road has already been built. It Would be folly to neglect to bring It Into the city. Hov. E. O. Watson, the well known and ab'e Methodist minister, will de? liver an address on "Prohibition" to? morrow night In the court house, un? der the auspices <?f the Sumter County Prohibition League. The public Is cordially Invited to attend the lecture. BEWARE OF PHYSIC. Only Aggravates Stomach Trouble and Never Cures. The trouble with most people who have stomach trouble Is that they do not like to take time to get cured; they overeat and then take physic, which simply upsets the stomach and never cures. While rellof follows one or two does of Ml-o-na stomach tablets, chronic and long-standing cases need at least two or throe weeks' treat? ment before the sick headache, dizzy spells, bloating, heartburn, constipa? tion, nervousness and other symptoms thut directly result from Indigestion are banhhed never to return. Ml-o-na Is entlrelv different from the ordinary stomach remedies. It is taken before meals, stimulating the asorstion of digestive Juices and str< ngth? nlng the stomach so that it can doi its proper work. With (Vary 50-cent box of Mi-o-na J. F. W.
