Webster Springs are claiming all for

Labor for South Carolina.

Secretary Straus Of the Department Of
Commerce and Labor has sent a report to
the House on the action Of e. ]. Watson,
immigration commissioner for South Caro-
lima, in bringing foreigners to this country
to work in the cotton mills and on the
farms of South Carolina. The report was in
response to a resolution by Representative
Gardner of Massachusetts, who desired full
information as to the action South Caro-
lima is taking. Secretary Straus' report was
merely an elaboration of a recent opinion
rendered by the solicitor Of the department
in which he held that Mr.. Watson has a
right to bring in immigrants under con-
tract system, as he is acting as the repre-
sentative of a state and Is not subject to
the same restrictions which are placed upon
individuals. Mr.. Straus expressed no opinion
whatever in the case, but furnished COM
plete copies in the report of all correspon-
dence between the department and Mr.
Watson,

THIS IS
 FOR SCIATIC SUFFERERS A Case of Ten Years Standing Cured by Dr.. Williams Pink Pills, the Remedy
 That has d Great
 Record of - Success.

If you have sciatica. or sciatic rhcu- matisnh. and the treatment you have taken proved of no benefit. 1t Is tune that you tried the remedy that has cured so many stubborn cases-Dr. Wiliiams' Pink Pills.
 The most recent proof of the success of this remedy in such cases is the statement of Mrs. Mary Heckert, of Whiteviile, Fulton Co, Ohio.
 T suffered from sciatic rheumafism for twenty years," she says. before I found in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a remedy that cured me. The disease in my case was probably inherited as my father had 1t for years. The pains were sharp and shooting and extended all through my legs from my hips down, torturing me so that could not help crying out. They were worse at night and many times 1t was necessary to inject morphine to relieve ma. Every year had to pass through a spell of intense suffering. I would then be practically helpless as 1 could not move my legs. My kidneys were weak and I had dull headaches. became nervous. weak and debiiitated and lost in flesh.
 "For ten years tried many different doctors but swas never cured. was discouraged and had given up all hope of a cure. when I happened to read about pr. Williams Pink Pills. took several boxes and felt so much better that I continued their use for some time and was cured. have never had a return of the sciatica and have been healthy ever since"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills make rich red blood, enabling it to carry life and strength to the weak nerves and other tissues of the body. They are q spe- cific for such blood disease as anaemia, rheumatism, the after-efrectB of the grip and levers. and for such nervous diseases as dizziness. sick headaches, neuralgia, and have accomplished mir aculous results even in partial paraly- sis and locomotor ataxis. v
 pr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or direct by mail, post paId, on receipt of price. 50 cents per box; six boxes for e3.so, by the Dr. williams Medicine Company, Sehenee. tady. N. Y.
