THE CAUSE OF COLDS.
Good Advice Regarding The Proven
ton Of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only properly for
tify and strengthen their system,
about SO per cent of coughs, colds,
and pneumonia might be avoided.
These troubles are simply the result
Of weakness. which produces a cat
arrhal condition Of the mucous men,
brance. which is as internal skin Of
the body. When this skin is weak
ened. it becomes infected with germs
which are carried through the sys-
tenn by the blood. These parasites
attack and break these delicate It's
sues and set up a soreness which pro-
duce what is in reality an external
scrofula.
The only thing that will cure
coughs and colds and prevent pneu-
monia is a medication which is ab-
sorbed and carried by the blood so
that the diseased membrane is disin-
fected, cleaned, soothed and healed.
We have a remedy which we hon.
estly believe infallable and unsur-
passable for the prevention and cure
of coughs, colds and all catarrhal con-
ditions. It is the prescription Of a
famous physician, who has an envi-
able reputation Of 30 years Of cures
gained through the use Of this medi-
cine We promise to either effect a
cure in every case or make no charge
for the medicine. We urge everybody
in Newberry who has need Of such a
medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone.
It stands to reason that We could
not afford TO make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy if we were not abso-
lutely positive that we could sub
statiate our claif in every particu-
lar, and we see no reason why anyone
should hesitate to accept our offer
and try it. We have two sizes Of
Rexall Mucu-Tone. Prices SOC. and
$1.O0. Sometimes a SOC. bottle is
sufficient for a cure. AS a general
thing, but most chronic case is cured
with an average Of three large bot
ties. Remember, the medicine will
! cost YOU nothing if you are not salts
fled in every particular. Glider and
Weeks, Newberry, S C.

in their election ANA it Is simply I'LL
possible. without 4 poll Of the ;wo
bodies. to tell how they d" stand on
this question now

son that there is a difference in the

have secured prohibition by popular
vote under the local option laws and
their representatives may take tie
position that since they have secured
prohibition by local option it will be
best to let local option remain in
force. giving the other counties the
same opportunity to vote as they see
fit.
Undoubtedly, however, there will
be Il general state prohibition law bill
introduced in the next general assem-
bly,. as there has been in every gener-
al assembly for years, but whether it
can be passed or not is quite another
question.

cations are that unlc<S the election:
held yesterday are upset by the courts
three counties will be added 10 the
prohibition column in South Caro-
lima. Is this. or is it MOI, an indica-
ton of genuine sentiment in the
State?
The official vote in the diSpensary
election for Union county on Octob-
er q has been filed with the COVER
nor, as required by law The major
ity against the sale of wh;slzey is 261,
the vote standing: For sale: 665:
against sale, 926.
When the dispensary was first vot-
ed ont Of Union. on August Is, 1906.
the vote stood: For sale, 412: against
sale. 761. The total vote in 1906 was
!1,173, against 1861 in 1908. as in
crease of 418. The gain for prohibi-
ton was 165 and for sale the gain
was 253.
Returns from the elections in LaHr-
ems. Chester and Clarendon, in
which the liquor question was voted
on yesterday. indicate that the dis
pensary has been voted out Of each of
these counties. all Of which now have
dispensaries. It is not UNLIKELY that
the elections will be contested, espe-
ciallv in the case Of the Clarendon
county election. where it is alleged
the proper thirty days notice by the
supervisor was not given, as reqlir-
ed by the law.
If the elections are held to be valid
and Laurens and Chester 60 "dry,"
then Abbeville will be the only coun-
ty in the Piedmont section, or, in fact,
above Columbia in which whiskey is
lawfully sold. With the addition of
these three counties to the prohibition
column there will be exactly half the
counties in the Stare wet and half
dry-21 out Of 42.
The prohibition lineup will be:
Anderson, Cherokee, Chester. Chester
field. Clarendon. Darlington. Edge
field. Greenville, Greenwood. Horny,
Lancaster. Laurens, Marion, Marl-
boro, Newberrv. Pickens, Oconee. Sa-
luda, Spartanburg, Union and York
21.
The dispensarv counties will be:
Abbeville, Aiken, Bamberg, Barnwell,
Beaufort, Berkeley, Calhoun, Charles
ton, Colleton, Dorchester, Fairfield,
Florence, Georgetown, Hampton, Ker-
shaw, Lee, >Lexington, Orangeburg;
Richland, Sumter and Williamsburg
-21.
It is perhaps merely a coincidence.
but an interesting one, that the rep
resentation in the house Of the pro-
hibition counties in the above list S
exactly the same as the representa-
ton Of the dispensary counties-the
21 prohibition counties having togeth-
er 81 votes and the 2l dispensary
counties having a combined vote Of
62-which is. Of course, half the total
number Of votes, 124, in the house Of
representatives. And, Of course, since
each county has only one senator, the
representation in the senate is also
evenly divided, 21 votes each. But
in the senate the president has the d.
Gliding vote in case Of a tie, while in
the house the speaker votes as amen
Der.
This does not, however. in anv de-
gree indicate the standing Of the leg
islature on the question Of prohibl-
ton, for the reason that some Of thr
representatives and senator's from
prohibition counties are not prohibi-
tionists, and vice versa, some Of tie
representatives and senators from
dispensarv counties might vote for
