Whiskey In Elections.

Summerville News.
The use of whiskey for the pur-
pose of influencing votes is one of
the worst forms of bribery imag-
Unable, as it is an evil that is
growing with alarming rapidity
and great boldness. 1t is geher-
ally stated and admitted that large
quantities of liquor have been sent
to various parts of Dorchester
county, for the purpose of con-
trolling votes, and SO common has
it become as to be frequently re-
fcrred to as Cne of the natural
evils attending upon every elec-
ton. Not only this, but it is
claimed that many cases of liquor
are regularly distributed through
the dispensaries IN the State, in
the interest of favored Candidates.
70 great has become the evil that
it should be made matter for
special legislation. A law CON-
iscating to the State any liquor
found within q certain distance of
a voting preclnt, and furnishing
the party in whose possession it
is found, might have some effect.
1t is worth trying.

northern portions of the corn belt,
more especially to the westward

corn has been cut over the south.
ern portion of the corn belt where
a fine crop is assured.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and : healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
