Common Sense

Meals a Pleasure.

When your stomach goes on a
strike and mass meetings of indigna-

1t is that you should sit up and take
notice.
1t is clearly and only question OF
common sense-is this thing called

things which the stomach needs and
you have dyspepsia and indigestion
then other maladies follow these-this
is common sense.
The stomach is willing enough but
you won't let it do its work. You
take away the materials which are SO
necessary for it to use.
Give back these materials and dys-
pepsia and indignation flee and the
whole machinery of man begins slowly
to move and do it's work.
What the stomach needs is nerve
force, fluids for its digestive glands.
nourisnment and power. All these
necessities il takes from the blood. If
dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood,
the blood gives nothing to the stom-
ach.
This is common sense also. pure,
simple and unallowed.

essences which go into the stomach,

ILLEGAL FISHING.

The Audubon Society has been
and still is prosecuting those who
violate the fish laws by trapping in
the Edisto river. Special attention
will be devoted to this section in the
near future, and violaters will be
vigorously prosecuted. We trust
the practice of setting traps can be
broken up. We have in the Edisto
river as fine fishing grounds as there
are in the world, but the fish do not
have a show to breed and multiply
because of the trappers. If the traps
were kept out of the river and lakes
for one or two years, after that time
nobody would want to use a trap,
for one could catch all they wanted
with hook and line. The trouble
now is that too many people depend
largely for living on fishing, and
of course they do not fish with hook
and line. The Society has our
hearty endorsement in it's work of
enforcing the fish laws, and we hope
vigorous action will be taken in this
section. Too many men who would
not think of violating any other
law, think nothing of placing trap

STATE BOknOWS 100000.
The State Has Borrowed Half Mil
lion Dollars This Year.

Owing to the last legislature cut
ting it's appropriation cloth so much
larger than the State tax levy pat
tern before it, the State treasurer
will have to borrow another SlO0'-
0OOt the first ofneXt month on APRON
issory note signed by the State Of
ficials to meet current expenses for
that month. This will bring the to-
tai so borrowed this year up to the
limit of half a million fixed by
statute. With this the State Will
have to worry along as best it can
till the fall and spring taxes come
in, Immediately after which the bor-
rowing will have to begin again il
the new legislature does not right
about face next winter. This year
the State began borrowing in April.
AS a result of this unbusinesslike
method on the part of the legisla-
ture an interest bill amounting to
about $4,000 is wasted this year,
and the money so thrown away IN
the past decade amounts to approx
mately 100000. On one other oc-
casion, in Governor Heyward's ad-
ministration, the State borrowed the
limit of half a million, but he sue
ceeded in having the unfortunate
condition remedied, the tax levy be-
ing increased, with the result that
in 1900 there was no borrowing at
all. But this and Comptroller Cen
eral Jones's cherished dream Of get
ting the State on a cash basis was
promptly dispelled, the succeeding
legislature falling back into the old
rut of making liberal appropriations
during the session and then stick
ing it's head in the sand toward the
close of the session by cutting down
the levy in order to appear before
the dear people as shining econo-
mists.
A curious and interesting fact
about the borrowing this year is that
the State secured the lowest rate of
interest it has so far been able to
obtain, right in the fag end of the
panic. For half of the $4U0,000 50
far borrowed it will pay only "
per cent. and for the other half only
4 per cent. Heretofore the State
had to pay per cent. and over

Thursday, August 27, 1908

The city council Of Anderson has
piaced license tax of $1,000 a year
on dealers in "near beer" chemical
cider, and such so-called non-alco-
holic drinks. That is the way to en-
force prohibition, and if every city
and town would thus proceed
against these soft drink dealers and
pool tables, there would be less
vhiskey drunk. Fellows who sell
near beer, etc., and run pool tables
generally sell whiskey, too.

COMPANY WON'T PAY.
Insurance Commissioner is Deffed by
Charleston Concern.


Columbia, August 20.-The next
legislature will be called upon to
remedy what has developed to be a
serious if not a fatal defect in the
new insurance laws establishing Mr..
McMaster's department which has
been doing such good work the past
year in driving out wildcat and ire
sponsible insurance concerns.
The power of the department to
interfere with a chartered company
which refuses to take out a license
or to put up a bond for the protec-
ton of policy holders as required Dy
the commissioner has been ques-
toned by the Equitable Industrial
Company, doing business mostly
with negroes at SO Shepard street,
Charleston, which collects premiums
amounting to about $100 a week.
The company refuses to pay any
license fee and Commissioner Nc
Master can find no law to punish
those connected with the company
from continuing to do business with
out a license. .'
Mr.. McMaster has revoked the Ii
censes of several concerns recently.
These could all go back to- work re-
gardless of the law. if the Charleston
concern can continue to do business.
Mr.. McMaster has gotten out an
affidavit which he submitted to the
Attorney Generals Office today set
ting forth the facts in the case of the
Charleston company, declaring
among other things, that the presi-
dent of the company, L. M. Ridge
way, and those associated with him,
L. C. Ridgeway and Mrs. Gourd1n
Dupont and others, by and with the
advice of counsel, Col. Henry M.
Young, deliberately and in defiance
and contempt of law, refuses to pay
the license fee and otherwise con-
form to the conditions required by
the commissioner to make the said
company safe and reliable concern.
The purpose is to- proceed against
the company by Injunction.
