The C< lumbtaState printed Saturday
an Interesting and illuminating article
descriptive of the gambling hells,
her room* and the general wlde-open
aess of Charleston. The article Is
a fairly accurate and reliable direc?
tory of the gambling establishments
of the CflSJ by the Sea, and may serve
a sseful purpose In helping those
seeking iport by night to And It
without resorting to the employment
of a guide. If the Stete will print a
similar directory of Columbia about
the time of the next 8tate Fair the
unlnltlatel will have less difficulty
In flndlns the places where they get
qu. ck action for their money and
something to drink on the side.

It ie an open secret that Perkins
and Mum y are furnishing the money
for Roosevelt's tremendously expen
slvc campaign, but the names nf the
hackers of the other active candidate*
for the Ptevidential nomination have
not boon confided to the dear people.
Woodrow Wilson declined to accept
the financial ssslstance of Thomas F
Ryan, and his campaign manager as
sorts that the csmpalgn funds are be?
ing supplied by hundreds of progres?
sive Democrats, who are making un?
solicited contributions. Who Is fur

NKW NOR OLD A P1 ?<) IN TUKS ACT,
Ap|x>inuncnt of s. J. White Instead of
Joe Ii. White?Matter to Bo Set
tied Later.
The 1st being the first Monday lit
the month, the county board of reg?
istration met as usual In their office
in the court house, with both the new
and the old appointees present. Mr.
C. E. Stubbs, a ho was recently ap?
pointed on the board by Governor
Blease. showed his commission and
Mr. W. S. Dinklns, the former mem?
ber of the board, was present to act
on the board, he having received in?
structions from Mr. J. H. Clifton to
report at the olnce for work on the
board.
The matter of having one too many
members on the board was settled for
the day by Mr. T. D. BuDose request?
ing the gentlemen not to act today or
until the matter was definitely settled,
as this was the only way to prevent
the Issue being made that persons
had been registered illegally. The ad?
vice of Mr. DuBose, the chairman of
the board, who is a close friend of
both parties, was willingly accepted
and both of the gentlemen stated that
they would act on this advice until
the difference was adjusted in accord?
ance with the law existing in the case.
The appointment of Mr. Joe B.
White was made as a mistake. Mr. S.
J. White, the present Incumbent of
the ofllce. having been the person
whom the governor had Intended ap?
pointing, a mistake simply having
been made In the names of the two
parties. Mr. S. J. White showed his
'?ommlsslon and he and Mr. DuBose
transacted all of the work which
came up before the board. Quite a
number of persons applied to the
Aboard for registration certificates or
to secure duplicates of ones which
they hnd lost.
Mrs. Emma G. Brearley of the Mt.
Zlon neighborhood, the wife of Mr.
William Brearley, died Monday af?
ternoon after a long illness. ,Mrs.
Hrearley was a native of Wlsucky and
bad many relatives and friends In
that neighborhood and elsewhere. She
la survived by her husband and one
daughter.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at 4 o'clock at Mt. Zlon
church, of which the deceased was a

"Feed Dr. Hess Stock Tonic on Three
MonthsTe^t at Our Expense."- -Dr. Hess & Clark
This Is what Dr. Hess & Clark write us, and we stand ready to make good that guarantee to the
letter.. If it doesn't pay, return to us the empty packages and we will refund your money.
Feeding Dr. Hess Stock Tonic Is just like applying fertilizer to the soil. Fertilizer makes the soil
yield: I>r. Hess Stock Tonic muk?s the digestive organs convert more feed into growth.
Sometimes 50 per cent of the food a healthy animal eats is found undigested in the manure. If
thi? wasn't true, how could we fa ton our hogs on the corn that passe? through the other stock undigest?
ed? Feeding medical ingredients will reduce this waste. Every medical writer In the universe says so.
Saving a part of the wasted nutrition by increasing digestion is known as the Dr. Hess Ideal of
Stock fading. Got this idea firmly in your mind. Do not allow the system to waste half of your feed
save a part of this waste. Every panicle you save moans profit to yourself.
Hundreds of Herds made Immune from the
So-called Hog Cholera Epidemic by Feeding Dr. Hess
Stock Tonic.
Ii
Dr. Hess A Clarke are having hundreds of letters from stockmen all over the corn belt that are
saving their herds from the ravages of the Hog Cholera Epidemic by feeding Dr. Hess Stock Tonic and
disinfecting the pens and sleeping quarters with Dr. Hess Dip and disinfectant.
