object in joining was looking toward
that big funeral. The business even

so the directors got together one day
and decided that the society must
have at least one funeral as an ad-
vertisement. They heard of an old
negro woman, who lived in the negro
district. who was in a dying condi-

PURE FOOD LAW.
Former Publication Of it Having
Been Incorrect in Certain Parti-
culars, All Exact Copy is
Printed.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia, March 21.-In The News
and Courier several days ago there
was published copy of the pure
food law as passed by the recent leg
islature. There has been some mis-
understanding about the exact pro-
visions of this act and it has been
stated that the act as published in
The News and Courier and other pa
pers was not correct in certain par
ticulars, so that for the purpose of
giving those interested an exact copy
of the law as ratified and signed by
the Governor Il copy Of the Act on
file in The Office of the secretary of
state has been made, and if there are
no Typographical errors in this when
it has passed the printer and the
ever vigilant proof-rcader the CORES
pondcn, of The News and Courier
will guarantee this copy of the act
to be corrcct.anl accurate in every
particular.
a close examination Of the Act
which was ratified in joint session Of
House and Senate and sighed by The
Governor shows that an error was
made in rc-cngroSsing The bill which
may seriously affect il. In section i
the bill as passed with amendments,
and agreed to by both houses, refers
to "any food or drug product which
is falsely branded as to the State,
Territory or country, iu which it is
manufactured or produced. But in
copying the bill for ratification the
word "county' was used instead Of
"country,' and in this shape the
bill has become Il law so that it reads
estate. Territory or county in which
Il is manufactured or produced. -
This may not have any effect on the
law, but it at least shows how care
ful the rn@n>>in~ department has TO
be in copying and rcr"pyiu- bills.
since the chance of Owe word or let
ter may nuilitN an imp"rtaNt law or
radically affect lis operations.
