Brice Act in Court.

The dispensary fight against. the Brice
law by Messrs. Bellinger & Welch
and John c.. Capers continues. Chief
Justice Pope has signed two orders in
connection with this matter. In both
matters the petitioner is Adam Ault, a
resident taxpayer of the county OF New
berry. In the first petition he sets out
that out of the net income derived by
the State from the sale of liquors in this
State under the dispensary law, after
apportioning the required amount to the
deficiencies existing in the various coun-
ties in the State, there is still remaining
in the State Treasurer's hands, subject
to payment on warrant of the Comp
troler General, large surplus subject
to apportionment by the Comptroller
General, he contends that the common
schools of Newberry are entitled to a
portion of said surplus That the said
Comptroller General threatens, and is
about to so apportion said surplus fund,
as to deprive the common schools OF
Newberry of any part thereof, and re-
fuses to draw his warrant in favor OF
said schools for any amount whatever,
He contends that there is no warrant OF
law on the part Of the Comptroller Con
seral to pay oyer to Newberry it's share
of the surplus, except.it be found in the
so .caHed Brice act, he therefore prays
that said, act be declared dull and void
inamuch as it contravenes article x-1,
section IL of the Constitution of this
State. Thix order is made returnable
before the Supreme Court TT Columbia,
on December T. The other order is di-
rected to W. O Tatum, Dispensary
Commissioner and the Board of Control
of Newberry County; praying that the
Brice act be declared unconstitutional,
null and void. that the said county board
of control be enjoined from keeping said
dispensaries in Newberry closed and be
compelled by the orderot the Court to
open the same in pursuance Of the valid
law of the State, that the said dispense
Is; ~ commissioner; be enjoined from re-
fusing ito furnish said liquors to the
county dispensers, and be decreed by
the order to furnish the same, pursuant
to the valid laws of the State" etc.
This order is made returnable on the
same day aAd at the same place.

States Rirhts.

The decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court sustaining the Ohio anti
gambling laws makes it perfectly clear
that the States have right and the
power to enact laws sufficiently drastic
to drive gambling houses out Of exist
ence. 1t is a remarkable fact-remark-
able in that a majority members Of that
Court are Republicans. which party is
the exponent of strong federal govern
ment and opposed to the doctrine of
the sovereignty of States-that every
decision effecting the rightsand powers
of ihe States to enact and enforce laws

When physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, OF
course. frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As ole woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's S
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of St. An.
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian.
apoGs, Ind. writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
II cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said I could
not get we'll unless 7 had an operation for
ovarian and female troubles. I knew could
not stard the strain Of an operation and made
up my mind I would be an invalid for life.

Hearing how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations decided to try it, and in
less than four months was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley Of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss OF strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, Bearing down pains. and
extreme irritation compeEed me to seek
medical advice The doctor. after making
an examination, said that Ihad ovarian trou-
be and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this l strongly objected
and I decided as last resort to try Lydia
Z. Pinkhanis Vegetable Compound
"To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and l can-
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among'women
and before submitting to an opera
tion every woman should try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms Of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, Inflammation, ul-
ceration, falling and displacement Of
the womb, leucorrhna, Irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.

OAHU COUNTY MAY
- TAKE PART
IN hANDlNOS CASE

Deputy Attorney General Prosser is
at present at work on the answer of
Tax Assessor Holt TO the mandainus
proceedings instituted against him by
the County of Kauai, which wants the
income tax of Kauai plantations col.
lected on the Garden Island, instead
of on Oahu, in order that the County
of Kauai can derive the benefit of the
% per cent. share, which falls to the
lot of the County m which the tax Is
collected.
Prosser states that the County of
Oahu may become a party in this pro-
ceeding as the Territory has no finan.
cial interest in the matter, as It gets
its half whether the taxes are collect.
ed on Oahu or on Kauai. On the 9th.
or hand, the County of Oahu, Is de.
.cidedly interested in the matter, as II
stands to lose its half of the taxes II
the Kauai mandamus proceedings are
successful and the taxes are collected
on Kauai. Prosser has called the at.
tention OF County Attorney Douthitt
to the matter and the two will have
a conference in regard to II. In the
mtantime the Attorney Generals De.
partment will in any event protect the
Tax Assessor in the case.
