RESULTS IN SWEEPING. BILL.
Would Pass a Law to Prohibit Even
the Taking of a Dring in South
Carolina.

It is thought that the prohibition
law in this state is drastic one, but
it is a very mild one in comparison
with the prohibition bill that has
been introduced in the legislature OF
South Carolina. The South Carolina
bill purposes that no citizen Of the
state or anybody stopping in the state
shall drink beverage in which there
is a trace of alcohol. Therefore 1t
is made a misdemeanOr for any one
to have in his possession a beverage
of that kind. Apparently the home
may be invaded by the authorities
for the purpose of finding out wheth-
er any such beverage is kept there.
Ii is possible that the bill was sug-
gested by the alleged discovery that
under the dispensary act there was
graft amounting to between $1,000
900 and $5.000,000. 1t is remarka-
BILE that if there was such an amount
of graft during the period that the
dispensary law was in force it WASH
discovered long before the law re-
ceived it's death blow.

AS AUTOCRATIC AS KAISER
Is PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. De
CLARE THE SENATOR'S.
And Cite the Course of Rulers to
Prove 1t. That He Has Csurped
Legislative Powers Is Shown.

President Roosevelt transmitted,
on Wednesday, to the senate and the
house copies Of the tariff regulations
negotiated some time ago between
the United States and Germany, to-
gether with a proposed amendment
TO the customs administrative act put
ting the same in force as a statute
In the senate the message aroused
lively discussion in executive session
when it was taken up.
The presidents course not only in
negotiating the agreement, but in
proclaiming it to the world, as he did
last July, was sharply criticised. 1t
was declared that the agreement
makes changes which are equivalent
to legislation, and it was pointed out
that all legislation affecting the tar
if must, under the constitution, orig
mate in the house of representatives.
Stress was laid on the fact that
the president had not only negotiated
the treaty, but that he had given it
out as a complete performance with
out referring it to the senate for its
action. This the senators seemed to
consider as especially reprehensible
and far beyond the authority of the
chief executive.
Kaiser Wouldn't Have Dared.
1t was pointed out that the German
kaiser had not only referred the
agreement to the Reichstag for its
action. but that he had even con-
suited both the local and the national
boards of trade Hence the president
was charged with being even more
autocratic than the head of the Ger
man empire. 1t was also declared
that under the system of valuation
provided for by the treaty great in
Justice would be done TO the United
States
Senators McLaurin, Teller and 9TH
, ers won their fight for an open ses-
sion in considering the message in
spite of the objection of Senator Hey
burn. The discussion enabled Sena-
tor Gallinger and one or two others
! to express themselves concerning the
action of an executive in calling for
legislation whenever the spirit moved
him.
! 1t is thought that resolution by
Senator Gallinger, which was intro
duced early in the session, may have
had something to do with the appear
ance of the message and request for
, legislation in the German-American
matter at this time.

PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE.
Druggists Will Battle With Stomach
Troubles in Dawson.

Troubles in Dawson.
The increase of stomach troubles
in Dawson has led the Dawson Drug
Co and Peoples Drug Store to take
effective measures to combat the dis
ease. They have the local agency
for Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and in
order to induce people suffering with
weak stomach or indigestion to use
the remedy offer to supply it with
the distinct understanding that mon
ey will be refunded in every case
where it does not cure.
Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive,
but an absolute strengthened and
builder-up of the whole digestive
tract If you suffer with headaches,
| giddiness, palpitation, bad taste in
the mouth, nervousness, coated
tongue, distress after eating use Mi
o-na and see how quickly these
symptoms of a weak stomach will
disappear.
The remedy strengthens the mus
cular walls of the stomach and in
| creases the flow of gastric juices so
that nOurishment is extracted from
/ the food and the refuse is expelled
without the aid of purgative or laxa-
! tive medicines.
Remember that the Dawson Drug
Co. and Peoples Drug Store give a
guarantee to refund the money I'M
! less it cures. They take all the risk,
and there is no danger of your los
ling anything except indigestion when
you buy a 50-cent box of Mona.

LEES MOTHER BURIED ALIVE
The South's Great Hero Was Born
Year After She Came
From the Grave.


The one. hundred and first ami

e. Lee recalls the little-known fact
that he was born more than year
after his mother had been buried,
furnishing to the world one OF the
most astonishing cases of reviv!s-
cence on record.
General Lees mother was by no
means an entirely healthy woman,
and the physician at Stratford, Va,
the home of Henry Lee (Light Horse
Harry was kept in constant attend
ance. Mrs. Lee suffered from cata-
lepsy, and during a prolonged trance
she was pronounced dead. The body
was prepared for interment, and the
morning of the third day after her
supposed death the remains were laid
in the family vault in the graveyard
of that pretty little Virginia village

though of some one calling for as
sistance. OF course the old man was
somewhat alarmed, but as he had
seen many years of service in the
city of the dead" he did not leave
the vault. He listened closely and
the voice was distinctly heard again.
Becoming satisfied that the voice
came from within the casket he at
once set to work and opened it, dis
covering that Mrs. Lee was alive.

awful fate, assistance was soon sum-
moned and within a short time she
was safe in bed at her home.

KEEP In OWN LINES.
Bills to Limit State Institutions VIII
Be Drawn.

A bill providing for some method of
preventing "unwise duplication of
work. in the three big educational in
situations of the state will be presented
al. the next session of the legislature.
This is the action taken this morning
at the Harmony conference" held by
representatives of the three institu-
tons at the office of Governor Hoch.
1t was agreed that each of the six
representatives in the conference shall
prepare a bill embodying his ideas on
how to keep each institution within its
sphere. The six representatives will
meet again on october !. and will
combine these six bills into one which
is mutually satisfactory
The meeting of the six representa-
tives commenced at 4 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon, continued through
Thursday evening, and did not finish
until 10 o'clock this morning.
This morning a resolution was
adopted expressing it as the sentiment
of the meeting that revision of the
laws of the state relating to the
spheres of influence of the three in
situations was essential
]. w. Gleed then moved that the
committee proceed to formulate a bill
to be submitted to a joint session of
the three state educational institu-
tons, the purpose of the bill being
to prevent unwise duplication of work
in the state university, state agricul-
tural college and state normal school,
and to perfect the educational system
of the state. This motion was adopted
unanim ously.
L. B. Kellogg of Emporia, one of
the Normal representatives moved
that each member of the committee
prepare for submission to the next
meeting a bill embodying his ideas of
the scope and limitations of each state
educational institution, as they should
be established by the state. This mo-
ton prevailed.
The meeting then adjourned till Oc-
tober 1. at which time the bill will be
drafted. Governor Hoch presided at
the meeting and NJ F. Amrine, Nor
NAL director, was secretary.
Governor Hoch said after the meet
ing: 81 feel that this conference has
been the most successful OF any held
thus far on this subject, and believe
it will be productive of great good.
Those who attended expressed them
selves as believing that definite results
would be secured. The greatest har-
mony prevailed, and all seemed to be
working for the best interest of the
state.
Some of the members of the COM
mittee favor placing all the institutions
under one board. While am person
ally in favor of that plan, recognize
that it has it's disadvantages. 1t
might lead to fight for control of that
board, and each institution would be
constantly in fear lest the board should
get into the hands Of hostile faction.
One plan is to have a new board
created, called the supervisory board,
or something of that sort, to have GER
tain limited jurisdiction over all the in
situations, and pass upon the curricu-
lum offered at each school. Each school
would be required to submit its pro-
posed course of study to this board be-
fore adopting it. and the board would
have authority to cut out such
branches from one institution as were
being covered at the other"

over the preceding months. Coal and
