Insurance companies cannot refuse
to pay policies on suicides in case the
law Of the State in which the suicide
occurred provides that such policies
must be paid. This point was decided
by the supreme court in a suicide
case which came up from Missouri,
the lower court being overruled. 1t
was held that the clause in the policy
making suicide a defense to payment
by the company was an evasion Of
the statute of the State. In rendering
the decision Justice Harlan said: 'The
manifest purpose of the statute was
to make all inquiry as to suicide
wholly immaterial, except where the
insured contemplated suicide at the
time he applied for the policy

LIQUOR ACCOUNTS UNPAID.

Columbia, May 3.-The dispensary
commission did not order any ac-
counts paid yesterday. Another meet
ing viii be held today.
The question as to what is to be
done in regard to the 100000 be-
longing to the school fund Of the
State is causing the whiskey houses a
great deal Of worry, according to a
member of the commission: At least
one liquor drummer was more or
less worried up over the matter yes
terday.
If the dispensary commission
should decide that the State dispen-
sary owes the public schools Of the
State 100000, as the books Of the
late board Of directors show, it would
probably mean that the liquor houses
will have to wait longer time on
their money and may not get so much
as if their accounts are given pref
erence.
1t is thought by some that the
county boards Of education could
mandamus the dispensary commits
sion and recover their pro rata of
the full 100000. AS yet no action
has been taken by the State superin-
tendent of education or any Of the
county boards.

The New York Herald printed
Tuesday in a most prominent posi-
ton, and with haring headlines, the
following special from New Haven,
Conn:
Members Of Connecticut's official
party at the opening of the James
town Exposition are telling Of an epi-
sode in which Governor r. S. Wood
ruff, Of Connecticut, and the govern
ors Of North Carolina and South Car
DINA were figures. The three met at
Governor Claude A. Swanson's re-
ception on Thursday evening in the
Virginia building. The Carolinian
governors had never met, and Con-
necticut's governor, upon learning Of
the fact, brought them together, Gov
eror Ansel, Of South Carolina, and
Governor Glenn, Of North Carolina,
cIasped hands warmly, and while
they were expressing mutual gratifi-
cation over the meeting Governor
Woodruff stood expectantly. He re-
marked as they were about to sepa-
rate:
"And now, gentlemen, presume I
shall have the pleasure Of hearing a
repetition of the famous remark Of
the Governor Of North Carolina to the
Governor OF South Carolina"
Governor Ansel responded at once.
'Your Excellency, as am a prohi-
bition governor and a teetotaler, I
cannot make it sincerely"
And to the amazement Of Governor
Woodruff and Governor Ansel as
well the other governor added:
Being pronibitionist myself I,
too, must suffer the remark, at least
literally, to remain a matter Of his

Beware of "Digestiyes."

The ordinary dyspepsia tablet
has ruined more stomachs than all
other causes combined. Giving tenn
porary relief, it leaves the digestive
system weaker than ever. and the
tablets must be continued with in
creasing frequency.
Mi-o-na excites the secretion Of
gastric juice, and when the food is
swallowed, the stomach is ready to
digest it.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are never
sold in bulk, but in neat box con-
venient for the purse or vest pocket,

A guarantee is given by ]. F. ".
DeLorme with every box of Mi-o-na,
that the money will be refunded if
the remedy fails to give satisfaction.

Put Them in Stripes.

The importation of whiskey and
wines by s'blind tigers can be stop
ped, but not Dy imposing fines. So
long as the fines do not destroy the
profits of business, the business will
continue.
The effectiveness of the method by
which the wholesale tigers may be
brought to their senses is simple.
The Overwhelming sentiment of
this city favors the enforcement OF
the Carey-Cothran law (unsuitable as
it is to the community, so that 1T
shall turn the largest amount Of rev.
enue into the city and county treas
uries.
The question before the taxpayes
of Charleston is whether Or not they
shall lose $4,000 or $4,000 a year
in order that a small number Of law
breaking wholesale whiskey dealers
shall amass fotunes.
Is any wholesale "blind tiger" IN
this city too good to wear stripes?
Does any reason exist why one who
impudently defes the people of Char
lesion should not work on the chain
gang?
fine Of $500 will not reform a
wealthy tiger" Thirty days on the
chaingang would tame him for the
remainder of his natural life.
The grand juries and the petit ju-
rors of Charleston are what the peo-
pie Of Charleston make them.
If the people of Charleston are so
tender-heated that they prefer to lose
$4,000 year, or possibly twice that
sum, in order that the lawbreaker
may escape the laws penalty, then
the situation is hopeless.
The county dispensary system is
not an ally or a sub-agent for cor
rupt State machine having headquar-
ters in Columbia OF elsewhere. 1t is
controlled and operated by Charles
ton for Charleston. The county
board Of control is composed Of gen.
tlemen willing and determined to en-
force the law. To succeed, they must
have the active, aggressive and untir-
ing help of the community and this
help must be shown in the Court. Of
Sessions by the jurors.
We do not expect that the Carey
Cothran law shall prove perfect
success. Ignorantly and viciously, the
State constitution of 1895 has en-
tangled and embarrassed all efforts
for the sane and intelligent control Of
the traffic in intoxicants in the larger
cities of South Carolina. The general
assembly has done the best that it
could for Charleston within the con-
stitutional restriction. Tt has given
10 Charleston home rule and home
regulation CT this traffic. If cur
community fails TO respond to the
spirit of the legislation, more accept
able legislation in future may not be
looked for.
Earnest efforts on the part Of the
community to utilize the Carey-Coth-
ran law to improve conditions, with
fair results to show the legislature,
will gradually bring the people of the
State to rational sympathy with the
difficulties of the situation here. By
such efforts the enactment Of prohibi-
ton for Charleston may be averted.
Our first efforts should be to de-
stroy the business Of the wholesale
importers Of contraband whiskey and
that may be easily accomplished by
putting the wholesalers in stripes on
the streets.-News and Courier.

the American Seeding Machine COM
pany could be enlarged, opened Mon
