The st. Adams license commits
sioners were unwilling to accept the
recent statement of Representative
D. J. O'Sullivan of that city in the
house of representatives regarding
the habitual purchase of liquors on
Sunday by one of their number. They
sent a letter to Mr.. O'Sullivan Dec.
10, stating that the charge was
false and he failing to give the in
formation called for, the commits
sioners issued a cali for public
meeting to be held Tuesday, Dec. 81,
to investigate the charges. They did
this, they said, because the statute
requires them to investigate any in
of a violation of law. The
was held, but Mr.. O'Sullivan
was not present and as no formal
was made, no action re-
suited. The members of the board |
made statements refuting the implied |
charge and, no charges being brought /
against them they think they have |
the right to feel that the insinuation /
against them has been completely re-
futed.

SALE RAPIDLY INCREASING.
Mi-O-na, the Dyspepsia Remedy, Has
Cured Hundreds OF Laurens Drug
Co.'s Customers.

One of the greatest successes In the
sale Of a medicine has been achieved
by Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia remedy, and
its sale is increasing so rapidly that
The Laureus Drug Co., the popular
druggist, has hard work to keep q
hand.
1t is very popular with we'll known
bankers, ministers, lawyers and others
whose business or profession keeps
them closely confined, while those
who have brought on indigestion
through irregular eating, worry or
other causes, have found a cure in this
reliable remedy.
Mi-o.na is in the form of small tab
lets and is sold in a metal box espec-
tally designed for carrying the medi-
cine in the pocket or purse. 1t is pleas
ant to take; costs but SO cents, gives
quick relief and makes lasting cures.
This remedy has been so uniformly
successful and made so many remarka-
BILE cures that the Laurcns Drug Co.
will in future sell Mi-o-na under q pos
tive guarantee to refund the money If
it should not cure. No other dyspep-
STA medicine ever had a large enough
percentage of cure 30 that 1t could be
sold in this manner A guarantee like
this speaks volumes for the merit OF
the remedy.
There is no time like the present to
do a thing that ought to be done. If
any one has dyspepsia, today Is the
best time TO begin curing it.

MEETING.
Tax Levy Voted and Committee APP
pointed to Examine School Building.

In pursuance to the call Of the Secre-
tary of the Board of Trustees, q meet
ing of the citizens was held in the
Court House Friday morning for the
purpose of making the annual tax levy
for maintaining the Laurens Graded
Schools next session.
Mr.. p. A. Simpson was elected
Chairman ana Mr.. c. A. Power, Secre-
tary. A report from the Secretary and
Treasurer of the Board, Mr.. O. d.
Barksdale was submitted, showing the
| receipts and disbursements OF the past
| year,
On motion the same levy as last year,
2f mills was voted for the next
scholastic year.
Superintendent Jones was present
and at the invitation of the Chairman
he gave some interesting information
as to the work of the schools, the en-
rollment, etc. He stated however,
that in view of the increased attend
ance from year to year, the problem of
properly seating all who may enter the
school next session, was to his mind
quite q serious question. A number Of
the rooms are wholly inadequate for
present demands. Acting on this sug-
gestion a resolution was adopted by
the meeting whereby q committee con-
sisting of three citizens was selected to
make an investigation of the school
building and report to the Board of
Trustees the practicability Of making
improvements or providing additional
class room accommodation. This COM
mittee Is as follows: A. l.. Hudgens, j.
o. G. Fleming and j. F. Bolt.

SOME VIEWS AS TO FUNERALS.
Thoughtful Suggestions by an Intelli.
gent Observer.

Mr.. Editor: With your permission 1
want to call the attention OF our people
to some reforms, 1 think much needed
in funeral customs. Ordinarily the I'M
dertaker is requested to have the
hearse at the home OF a certain hour.
II the driver should miss the hour by
fifteen minutes, those in charge show
much Impotence and worry, and the
same parties often keep the hearse
waiting after the hour appointed, thir-
ty minutes or more. This needs reform.
Funeral services are often conducted at
a church and the procession goes to
grave to find 1t unfinished, and a wait
OF thirty or forty minutes is often nee
essary. This could be avoided and
ought to be-. After the undertaken is
told that, 1--WE will have no service at
the church, only a short service at tie
grave" he goes on to find the pastor
with his book service and is often kept
thirty minutes or more by long prayers
AID longer talks when the people are
standing on the cold ground or In the
hot sun. Much suffering and sickness
often result from such a ervIce This
needs reform.
Often the coffin is opened to the gaze
Of a curious congregation. THIS needs
reform. Only in extraordinary cases
do l think this ought to be allowed, and
only for some near relatives to view
the remains. Pail bearers are expected
to help bury the dead. Often we see
strong men stand and never offer to
assist on such occasions and allow the
Pail bearers to do most of the work.
This is wrong and very th%oughtless.
In some towns 1t is customary for
merchants to close their stores o few
minutes while the funeral procession
is passing. This Is respectful and
ought to be regarded on all occasions.
These reforms ought to be practised
for the benefit of the public generally,
but more especially for the family in
%affliction.
