ANTI BILL

Mr.. Barnwell introduced a bill
which he hopes will lessen the num-
Der of !vnchipgs in this State. His
bill to prevent lynchings and punish
lyncbers does not propose to change
the act of 1896, which follows the
constitution. but adds certain RENE
dies thereto. The constitution and
the act OF 1896 provided for the re-
moval from Office Of an tfcer who
suffered through his negligence, per
mission or ccnnivance, a prisoner to
be taken from him and lynched. 1t
also provided a remedy against the
county for tie heirs of any person suf-
ering death by reason of lynchiug, that
act, however, did not provide for The
case where the prisoner was kill. d
while still in The custody ofthe officer,
through tie negligence CT connivance
of the officer. The present bill pro-
vides for such a case. Tire bill also
provides hat in any case Of lynching.

a great convenience to the Northern
tourists and shows considerable enter

Millions Given Away.

1t is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern in the
land who are not afraid to be gener-
GUS to the needy and suffering. The
proprietors of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, have given away over ten
million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and have the satisfaction
of knowing it has absolutely cured
thousands of hopeless cases. Asth-
ma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all
diseases of the Throat, Chest and
Lungs are surely cured by it. GALL

legislative Proceedings.

The Judiciary committee has up
for consideration a bill providing for
a system of county courts which may
cause some discussion. 1t provides,
however, to leave the establishment
of these courts to a vote of the quail
fed electors of each county.
No liquor legislation has yet made
it's appearance. What is to come up
we are not able to say. The indica-
tons now are that there will be no
material change in the dispensary
law at this session.
The bill introduced to repeal the
lien law provides that it shall not go
into operation if passed until neSi
year and there is some talk CT put
ting it off for two years. So that
even if there should be any legisla-
ton on the subject it will not affect
~ for this year,
Il 'g Of general interest has
been done as yet except passing the
bill extending the time for paying
taxes to the 2Sth day of February,
which has been ordered enrolled as
an act for ratification. The Legis-
lators seem to be taking things easy
and deliberate and it is best that
they should for hasty legislation
sometimes becomes very expensive to
the taxpayers. Really, while there
are a great many bills introduced
there are at present no indications Of
any very great changes in the laws.
Mr.. Blease's bill to make it a mis-
demeanor to violate labor contracts
was killed.
The bill to elect magistrates and
other county officials by primaries
went the way of all flesh.
There was much discussion over
the bill to relieve school trustees
from road duty, but was killed on its

vide for the renewing of charters OF

Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
ment, soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead to conditions most
serious. They are caused in different
ways, but in every use the blood is
involved, and no amount of local treat
ment can have any effect. The poison
must be eliminated from the blood
before q cnre can he had.
