Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world q remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination OF drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's Ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 615 NC. St,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means 80 much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women Am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer-
Ing with the worst forms of female Ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say thas

LYON SUSTAINED
BY SUPREME COURT
Decision OF Judge Pritchard in Assum-
ing Jurisdiction in Dispensary Con.
troversy Was Not Warranted.

Columbia, S. c., March Id. The su-
preme court of South Carolina handed
down an opinion by Mr.. Justice Woods,
in which Attorney General J. Frazier
Lyon is sustained in his contention for
the $4,000 appropriated by the last
General Assembly for the prosecution
of the alleged dispensary grafters.
This matter was upset when Judge
Pritchard, in the federal court, as
sumed jurisdiction of the dspensary
fund, amounting to $80O,OOO The case
was friendly suit and was brought by
the attorney general against the mem
bers of the winding-up commission, be-
ing in the nature of writ of manda-
mus, compelling the commission to turn
over to the attorney general the $15,-
600 set apart for the prosecutions. The
opinion is regarded as victory for At
torney General Lyon.
The opinion concludes as follows:
"We hold that the State has not
consented that any court should adju-
dicate the debts set up against it for
liquor sold to it, nor has it consented
that $500, 600 of It's public funds held
by it's fiscal officers be administered by
any court, and hence the federal court
had no jurisdiction to pass the order re-
straining the respondents from pay
ing out such funds. The order of in
junction of the federal court therefore
affords no legal protection to the de-
PENDANTS, and their return is adiudged
insufficient.
'"The judgment of this court is that
the petitioner is entitled to writ of
mandamus from this court, requiring
the respondents, constituting the State
dispensary commission, to pay from the
funds in their hands to the State treas
ury the sum of $4,000 for the use of
the attorney general, as provided for
by the statute of the State, approved
February 26, 1908. 1t is well-recog-
nized principle, however, that the Uni
ted States supreme court itself follows
the decision of the State supreme court
in the construction of the State consti-
tutions and statutes, and of course this
rule is binding upon the circuit court of
the United States.
"This court will not, therefore, as
sumo that the construction which it has
placed upon the State constitution and
the statutes in question will be disre-
garded by the federal court.
"The issuing of this peremptory writ
of mandamus is therefore left in abey-
ance until the further order of this
court"

A MIDNIGHT FIRE
NEAR LAURENS MILLS
House and Storeroom Owned by Mr.
|. T. BaIIentine Was Destroyed. MIR.
]. w. Snoddy Sustains Loss.

At midnight Monday night fire de-
stroyed the two buildings located near
the Laurens cotton mill and owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. 1. T. Ballentine. One of
them was occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Ballentine as residence, while the
other was used by Mr.. j. w. Snoddy
as store. Mr.. Ballentine also con-
Quoted a market in portion of this
building.
The fire originated in the stove room
of the Ballentine cottage, and when
discovered over half the building was
in flames. The fire department reached
the fire as quickly as possible, but the
buildings could not be saved. Very lit
tie was saved from the flames.
In the afternoon before the fire de-
partment was called to the Ballentine
home to extinguish little blaze that
had broken out in the kitchen, and it is
supposed that the second outbreak was
the result of the first.
The total insurance is understood to
amount to about $2,5 500, which probably
practically covers the loss.
This is the second fire loss Mr.. Bal
lentine has sustained within three
years, he having been burned out while
occupying the Goggans house, on Main
street, three winters ago.
