The lnvestfgation.
Spartanburg Journal.

This newspaper was the frst in the state TO
call for an Investigation into the affairs OF
the state dispensary. We insisted from time
out. We believed that there was crooked
ness and when the legislature appoio ted a
committee OF good men amply supplied Win
funds and powers to compel witnesses TO ap-
pear and 10 produce books and letters, we
felt sure that those who had been guilty Of
grating" or OF roobing the state, would be
ex posed.
After more than year, the work OF the in
vestigating committee has thus far proved
failure. Not only 80. but 1t would seem that

For more than twenty years Mr..
J. B. Massey, of 1922 Clinton st. Min
neapolis, Mimi, was tortured by sci
atica. The pain and suffering which
he endured during this time is beyond
com mprehension. Nothing gave him
any permanent relief until he used
hamberlain's Pain Balm, One ap-
plication of that liniment relievd the
pain and made sleep and rest possible,
and less than one bottle had effected a
permanent cure. If tronbled with
sciatica or rheumatism why not try q
25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for
yourself how quickly it relieves the
pain. For sale by G. A. Milford Alb

MAN is MERE
INCIDENT IN
WOMAN'S LIFE

Chicago, June 1l.-Marriage has
become a mere incident in the life of
woman man is but an appendage, an
adjunct, q coIoiiary of woman. II
short man is not Deariy as important
as he with fatuous self-concelt imag-
ines himself. So speakers at the ses-
sion of the national business women s
league in the Ialmer house declared
yesterday, all the speakers being wom-
en-. In art, MUSIC, in literature. IN
medicine on the stage, as nurses
and as court reporters and in numer-
Gus other vocstions, professions,
trades or crafts, men are by no
means the whole thing.
Most startling of all, man as a
husband does not sunmarize the en-
tire universe. A husband is an Incl
dent, not o creation. Marriage"
said Mrs. Louise Hardine of Denver,
why, marriage is no longer every
thing in a woman's life. 1t is getting
relegated in che mind or woman to it's
truth in the proportionate scale of
things and is being an incident. Mar
riage is but an incident in the life of q
man. Why should it not be so in the
life of q woman? Women of today
must have other interests in life be-
sides the heat, and think il a very
good thing for woman herself and for
the nation as whole that we are be-
coming weanad to some etxent from
the idea that marriage is the all in all
OF woman's career"
