The PROHIBITION Law.
Stringent Measure Now In Force In
Counties That Voted Out Liquor.

The fifteen counties in which
prohibition went into effect on
November Is have a stringent
law to obey. After one of the
hardest fought battles known
in South Carolina legislation an
act was passed at the last session
of the General Assembly provid-
ing for the vote to be taken in
the several counties on the Ii
quor question. Fifteen counties
voted out the dispensary and six
retained the system. The only
counties having dispensaries
now are: Charleston, Richland,
Florence, Georgetown, Aiken
and Beaufort.
Now the other fifteen counties
which had dispensaries will have
to stand by the enactment of
the Legislature, while the six
counties retaining the'dispensary
system will be under the pro-
visions of the Carey-Cothran act.
The principal provision of the
new prohibition act that has
caused much comment is the
first section. 1t reads as follows:
Section l. Be it enacted by
the General Assembly of the
the State of South Carolina,
That all alcoholic liquors and
beverages, whether manufactur-
ed within this State or else
where, or any mixture by what
soever name, which if drunk to
excess will produce intoxication,
are hereby declared to be det-
rimental, and their use and
consumption to be against the
morals, good health and safety
of the State, and contraband.
That it shall be unlawful for
any person, firm, corporation or
association within this State to
manufacture, sell, barter, ex-
change, receive, accept, give
away to induce trade, deliver,
store, keep in possession in this
State, furnish at public places or
otherwise dispose of any spiritu-
GUS, malt, vinous, fermented,
brewed or other liquors and
beverages, or any compound or
mixture thereof which contains
alcohol and is used as a bever-
age, and which if drunk to ex-
cess will produce intoxication,
except as hereinafter pro-
vided. "

CURESCATARRH
nish The Medicine Free in Every
Where They Fail to Cure Catarrh.

Neglect or pessimism we believe is
the greatest enemy the public have to
contend with when applied to the loss
or recovery of health. Practically
been cured if hope had been main
tanned and proper treatment had been
restored to at the first symptom of the
disease. Until the advanced stage is
reached, consumption is durable.
Catarrh is responsible, we believe, for
every case of consum ption. 1t is about
Catarrh we want to talk TO you today,
incidentally consum ption, since the
two or so closely allied.
We have medicine made from the
prescription of one of the most sue
cessfu1 catarrh specialists known. This
medicine has a record of SO per cent
Of cures, and we believe it is positively
without an equal. We are so satisfied
that we are right, that we will sup
ply the medicine free in every in
stance where it is used according to
directions for a reasonable length of
time and fails to cure and give
satisfaction in every particular. We
want everyone in Topeka to try this
medicine at our risk. There are no
conditions or formality attached to
our offer. We put the user under no
obligation to us whatever.
The medicine we want you to try
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. 1t is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat of
trouble. 1t is carried by the blood to
every part of the system. 1t seeks
out and destroys the germs or
parasites which cause Catarrh. 1t
purifies and enriches the blood, tones
up the muco-cells, soothes and heals
the tissues that were ravaged by the
catarrhal parasite, and brings about a
condition of health and strength that
prevents the germs of consumption
from ever getting a start. Besides
this, ReXal Mucu-Tone is a wonderful
appetizer, digestive aid and flesh
builder Its good effects are felt from
the very first dose. 1t is one of the
largest and most satisfactory selling
medicines that we have ever had any
thing to do with. We know so much
of the great good that it has done
that we personally back it up with our
reputation and money, which fact
should be ample guarantee to satisfy
anybody.
Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two
sizes, soc and $1.OO. We urge you to
try it. Fred A. Shows drug store, 523

clubs that will have new heads are
Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Boston and st.

John CAMEL is the manager let out
by Garry Hermann at Cincinnati af-
fer one years service. This is a deal
that always did look rather queer.
HERMANN admitted that the Reds un-
der CAMEL had made more money for
him than any previous team. He also
made the statement that he was
pleased with the players that he had
gathered together for the next season,
and John CAMEL did the gathering.
Still Hermann let the big first base
man out and took on Clark Griffith,
formerly with the Highlanders as his
leader Camel has signed to manage
Rochester of the Eastern league at
big league salary.
At Boston the rollers were placed
under Joe Kelly, but at that Joe may
continue to draw his salary. Dovey
decided that Kelly had not done as
we'll as he expected, and picked Frank
Bowerman as his new manager de-
spite the fact that Kelly had a two
years contract.
This fact may lead Dovey into some
trouble with the National commission,
as Kelly has entered a protest, and if
ever protest should be upheld it is
this one. Dewey understood that To-
ronto was willing to get Kelly back
and pay him as much as Boston was
offering.

$4,000 for 1907. The discrepancy is
especially evident in the football
