Letter from Representative Sheldon.

House of Representatives, Columbia
january l5.-Editors Courier: The lower
house met promptly at IL O'Clock noon
last Tuesday. quorum being present
proceeded at once to commence work
but very little could be accomplished be.
fore Thursday, as the engrossing depart
nlent was short of help and all the bills
left on the calendar from last session had
to be reprinted. Work then commenced
in earnest. Quite number of bills have
been disposed of since that time-most
of them killed.
The dog law passed our end of the
house, making it mandatory for the
sheriff OF each county to keep trained
bloodhounds in the Jail yard. I opposed
this bill, as we had similar one already,
giving county officers the privilege of
keeping and using them when thew
deem it necessary.
| The decision of the Supreme Court.
that the Brice law is constitutional and
that each county will get its portion of
the school fund. has caused considerable
excitement in regard to the dispensary.
number of bills have been intro.
dnced-some for prohibition, some for a
! high license, Others TO. either prohibi-
tlon, license or county dispensaries
the county own and control them, am
opposed to this. Where we have one evil
now we would have forty-one then. In
stead of the county controlling the dis
pensary am afraid the dispensary would
control the county.
We received request from the County
Supervisor asking for eight mills to meet
the current expenses, that may accrue.
for the present year; also for two mills
to pay the $1,000 that they fell short of
last year. That would be ten mills for
county purposes. You can add five for
the State, three for public schools. one
half to pay interest on the bonded in
debtedness of our county, and one that
the Commissioners are allowed to add,
and you will have nineteen and one.half
mills. The, citizens of the Maxwell
Bridge and Chapman Ford communities
have asked and respectfully petitioned
for special levy of one and half mills
to build bridges across Seneca and Keo-
wee rivers. That would make twenty
one mills. That is more than the tax
payers OF Oconee county can stand, and
will have to be cut down somewhere.

Dangers OF Colds and How to Avoid Them.

More fatalities have their origin in or
result from IL cold than from any other
cause. This fact alone should make peo-
pie more careful as there ia no danger
whatever from cold when it is properly
treated in the beginning. For many
years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been recognized az the most prompt and
effectuai medicine in use for this dis
ease. 1t acts on nature's plan--loosens
the cough, relieves the lungs, opens the
secretions and aids nature in restoring
the system to healthy condition. Sold

Wonderful is the case of Jacob Weiss
kind. who received fracture at the
base of the skull while at work under
meath the Larimer street viaduct on
Christmas day. being attacked by gang
of hOodlums. 1t was thought that he
could not live more than few davs. but
he has continued to improve until now
it is considered that he has an excellent
chance Of recovery. After he was
operated upon he became paralyzed and
it was reported by the surgeons that
even if he should recover from his in
iuries, which it was thought improbable,
he would always be cripple. -Four days
ago he was unable to move the limbs on
the right side Of his body. his whole
right side being paralyzed even to his
tongue and lips. so that he could not
speak and could swallow with difficulty.
Now, not only can he talk. but he has
regained the use of his limbs and is
rapidly improving. Philip Lind and

BRIGHT FUTURE.
Kentucky, Noted for Fine Whisky,
viii Seen be a Prohibition
State.
Enemy OF the Human Race viii
Be Routed.

There are in Kentucky l19
counties. The State long noted
for its fine whiskey will soon be
revolutionized in regard to the
traffic of Intoxicating drinks. The
public may not know that so much
of our State is already local option
territory. There are now "a coun-
ties in which the sale is already
prohibited or will be as soon as
the local option laws become opera
tive: in 10 counties whisky is sold
in only one town; in 8 counties in
two places and 6 counties in 3 or
more places. A brighter future is
just ahead. We will not be sur
prised il in the next two or four
years the entire State will be UNI
der prohibition law. Then will our
people be more prosperous; happi-
ness will increase because crime
will be greatly reduced, and our
State will have started upon a new
era.
Less than 3 months ago there
were only 81 dry counties. The
only victories gained by the whis-
key men in that time was at Clov-
export in Breckenridge county,
and at Middlesboro, KY. In last
three and one-half weeks temper
ance has wonin 8 counties: Ballard,
Logan, Pulaski, Lewis, Pendleton

Hidden Dangers.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings
That No Mt. Sterling Citizen
Can Afford to Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL No. comes
from the kidney secretions. They
will warn you when the kidneys
are sick. Well kidneys excrete a
clear, amber fluid. Sick kidneys
send out thin, pale and foamy,
or thick, red, ill-smelling urine,
full of sediment and irregular of
passage.
DANGER SIGNAL No. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull
and heavy. or sharp and acute,
tell you of sick kidneys and warn
YOU of the coming of dropsy, dia-
betes and Bright's disease. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
cure them permanently.
NJ. F. Enright, of MADDEN Ave-,
Richmond, KY, says; Sharp
aches and pains through the small
of my back and across the kidneys
were accompanied in my case with
other unmistakable evidences of
kidney disorders. My condition
was so apparent to me that |
searched high and low for relief,
but seemed unable to find it until
one lucky day friend told me of
Doan's Kidney Pills and acting
upon his advice, | got a box.
They rlghted all the irregularities
and weaknesses of the kidneys,

glad to recommend Doan's Kidney

the right to take life to save his
own. If we are. to contiftte to
have the constant appeals to,sthe
'unwritten law with different YER
diets by different iuries, it were
better to have difnite statute:
that he who has reasonable grounds.
to believe, and does believe, that
no one who is bound by moral law
to be true has been, false, has the
right to kill that one or the par
ticipant in that dereliction from
virtue.
There is today in English iuris-
prudence no such thing as the
sunwritten law which iustiiies
Judge on jury in acquitting a man
or woman guilty of an act of vio-
lence. But there is beyond ques-
ton a strong and widely spread
public sentiment excusing, if not.
lustifying, a resort to violence as
as the only recourse or punishment
for social wrong, and from the
frequent appeals to that popular
sentiment it seems to be increasing
rather than decreasing in strength.
Some would act under the 'un-
written law even knowing hang
ing would be their reward for so
doing; others, having neither vir-
tue nor courage, kill without Civ
ing their victim a chance and APP
peal to it for protection. And the
popular mind gets confused be-
tween the Just act of outraged vir-
tue and the cowardly revenge of
of blind jealousy or insatiate pas
sion. Can any law, written or I'M
written, give such men or women
as Thaw and Mrs. Bradley the
right to take life!
Public sentiment is not the guide
in such cases. Public sentiment
does not fix the moral quality of an
act or give any individual the right
to kill another for a real or inn :
ined wrong. These troubles are to
be settled by the courts of our
land. Gods word does not give,
in this age, any man the right to
kill.
