ences with Attorney General Knox,
that South Carolina has no power un-
der the constitution to exempt tho dis
pcnsary from the operation of the Fed
c1al internal revenue law If South
Carolina could thus secure immunity
from Federal taxation, other States
could do the same, with serious results

Governor McSwecney, of South Car
DINA, has not only demanded from the
internal revenue bureau return of all
the taxes collected from the State dis.
pcnsary traffic since 1893, but has sued
Tor the same purpose III the United

Columbia correspondent of the News

during his term as Governor had wife
to appeal to him for pardon for her
husband. The woman said that her

when to stop, and that he was beyond
all control. 1t was while on one of
these drunks that he attacked his wife
and was more than ordinarily violent
The woman had stood it as long as she
could and finally consented to prosecute
her husband. Later she wanted the
man pardoned and thought that he had
gotten over the drink habit by his eA :
pcrlcnCc in the pepltentiary. Governor
Tillman feared that unless some con-
dition were imposed that the man
would 60 back to drinking, as he had
often before promised not to drink.
Governor Ti'lman made condition
that if the prisoner ever again got
drunk he was to be returned to the
pcnitcntiary, and he appointed one or
two of tie woman's klnspcople to be
responsible for the condition on which
the pardon was issued. The man was
called to Governor Tillman's Office and
the conditions of the pardon explained.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special pre-
scription of Dr.. A. Boschee, a cele-
brated German physician, and is ac-
knowledged to be one of the most for
tunate discoveries in medicine. 1t
quickly cures coughs, colds and all
lung troubles of the s~everest nature,
removing, as it does, the cause of the
affection and leaving the parts in a
strong and healthy condition. 1t is
not an experimental medicine, but has
stood the test of years, giving satisfac-
ton in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually.
Boschee's German Syrup was intro
duced in the United States in 1865. and
is o sold in every town and village
