Can be Manufactured Without License.

Washington, January 19.-The Comis-
sioner of Internal Revenue has decided
that it is permissible for State prisons to
manufacture tobacco or cigars for it's
own inmates without paying license.
The Commissioner says: 81 would say
that, upon careful consideration of the
question involved, it is held that chari-
table or other institution conducted by
the State, and under State authority,
with its own operatives, has the right to
manufacture tobacco, cigars or any other
tobacco product without the payment of
tax when all such manufactured tobacco
is used exclusively within the State in
stitution. The tobacco must, however,
be manufactured within the limits of the
State institution, and no portion of it be
removed therefrom. If any portion of
such manufactured tobacco is found out
side of the limits of the institution it
will be liable to seizure and forfeit the
same az any other unstamped manufac-
turcd tobacco which might be found
upon the market"

Alas 1! Wade Hampton Is Dead.

The News and Courier of yesterday
says
The Augusta Chronicle cannot believe
that there "are not 1000 people in South
Carolina willing to give 81 each for a
monument to Wade Hampton. The
Anderson Daily Mail declares that "there
are twice 0,000 persons in South Caro-
lima who are ready to give 81 or more for
the monument, but the trouble has been
that the committees appointed for the
purpose have never done anything. The
people have just waited for the COM
mittees to ask for the money. If the
committees will do little canvassing-it
won't take long-they can easily raise
the money.
1t ought not to be necessary, however,
for al committees to have been
appointed to pecure such subscriptions.
The simple notice that $4,000 was
needed to make the appropriation of
$4,000 authorized by the last Legislature
for the building of monument to
Hampton available should have been
sufficient. If we must perpetuate our
SOIL I-cOmplacency lou uB at leaSG nave
some basis for believing ourselves really
better and moro grateful than we are.
Not only have the people not lust
waited for the committees to ask for the
money" but they have failed to respond
to the appeals of the committees, and
now we are told that ''if the committees
will do little canvassing--it won't take
long they can easily raise the money"
Since April, 1908, $25 all told has. been
subscribed at The News and Courier
Office 30 the Hampton monument fund,
and this amount has been turned over to
the treasurer of the fund. Is that not
fine record ? Surely nobody in Charles
ton can plead the excuse that the COM
mittees have not asked for money.
Wade Hampton is dead. Alasl Alas
that the vast majority of the people of
this city and state. who vociferated their
loyalty 10 him while he was living, are
now so poor that they cannot contribute
for the building of monument to
his memoryl

Der of proprietary medicines, on the
charge of sending obscene matter

the sending of one of these "souvenirs"
upon receipt of three cents in stamps.
The decoy application was made and the
mirror sent, with the result that papers
were made out and the arrest followed.

to the old adage.
Every body knows how to be temperate
and most people how to be economical,
but few know how to keep perfectly
healthy. Overeating, irregular habits,
neglect, ETC., derange the stomach, liver,
and bowles, causing Indigestion, torpid
liver, constipation etc.

NTi-BlllOUS MEDICINE,
Take No Substitute. n.
Greenwood and Laurens.

The holders of the bonds issued to
build the old Carolina, Knoxville and
Western Narrow Guage Railroad have
taken new turn in the effort to get their
money. Notice has been served of a
suit against Greenwood county for the
amount of the bonds with interest.
1t will be remembered that the holders
of the bonds got judgment againt cer-
tain townships in Greenwood, then Alb
beville, Laurens and Greenville counties.
AT the last session of the Legislature
the charters of those several townships
were annulled. This seemed to battle
the bondbolders for a time, but they
have adopted the tactics above men
toned. The suit against the county is
based on the ground that these town
ships are now part of the county and
the "merger" thus mace makes the
county liable for the bonds voted b. the
townships.
The suit is brought against the super
visor and it is asked that he be made to
pay the amount claimed, either from the
genaral fund or by special levy on these
townships. 1t seems that the matter
again has to come up before the Legis-
lature.
The counties of Laurens and Greenville
are also to be sued.
Eighteen persons were arrested and
called" here Monday afternoon charged
with selling whiskey. Four of these
were white men. They are ID. E. Bolton,
restaurant keeper; L. o. Matthews,
blacksmith: Joe Davis, farmer, and Ed
Beale, operative at Giendel Mills. d. E.
Bolton, it will be remembered, entered
suit against the Rev. g. w. Gardner,
proprietor Of the Greenwood Journal,
for 1000 damages for publishing an
alleged libel. The rest of those arrested
are negroes.

cease only with the ending of this
life. In neither is there any place
for standing still. Thorwaldsen, the
great sculptor, whose Lion of Lu-
zerne stands as one of the high-water
marks of modern art, was asked in
his old age what he considered his
best work. "My next" was the un-
faltering answer. That life contains
no place for resting was the belief of
a great poet, when he wrote:

Sees it and does it;
