Dispensaries Open Again.

Columbia, S. O., August 28.-The
state board of canvassers today dis
missed the protests from Charleston,
Georgetown and Richland counties in
the matter OF the recent whisky cleo
ton, when six out OF the twenty-one
counties voted to retain the dispensary
system. The deadlock in the board
was broken by an order from the SUI
preme court compelling Comptroller
General Jones to sit with the board
after he had refused, taking the ground
that the board Of canvassers did not
have the right to decide as to the con-
stitutionality Of the whisky election
act, as was argued by the representa-
tive of the protestant from Charleston
and concurred In by two other men,
bers Of the board. The dispensaries
in several counties were reopened i'm
mediately upon the announcement of
the decisiSA.

Laredo, Tex, August 2S.-Information
reaching here through reliable sources
states that SO severe was the flood that
the Inhabitants in the vicinity of the
flooded stream barely had time to flee
for their lives; that the onrush of waters
carried away their homes and chattels

pants of the jacales. or small huts, used
by the natives. 1t Is said that q chaotic
condition exists and that the chaotic
plazag are crowded with the poor home

escape with their lives. The buildings
Of Monterey, like those Of many other
old Mexican cities, are in the majority
of cases composed of mud and mortar

DR.. Brewer. The unbroken regu-
larity of the visits of this well-known
physician, is at once the best evidence
of his professional standing and of his
success in the treatment of diseases.
The quack prospers best where he is
least known, and shuns the place he
has once visited. DR.. Brewer has
filled his appointments for years.
Making a speciality of chronic diseases,
embracing diseases of the heart. throat,
stomach, lungs, liver etc.. he could
find in this line at any point limit
ed practice. By widening his circuit
he has attained to a practice such as
he could never otherwise have
reached. This gives him an ex
perience not to be had in any other way.
Those out of health can have i'm
plicit confidence in DR. Brewer, and
feel certain when consulting him
that he is a thoroughly educated
physician, with years of experience
in the treatment of Chronic diseases
exclusively. DR.. Brewer will be for
consultation on his next visit at the
Wright House on Monday May 3rd !;
consultation is free.~

Mistake to Work by Poor Lights.

1t is a great mistake to sew, read

much above the level of the eye. Use

demonstrate the truth of this observa.

Pros of Postal Savings.

How postal savings banks will
effect the home and country, is the
subject of an article in the May
Housekeeper, by George E. Miller,
in which he says
1. It would encourage habits of
economy and thrift among the labor
ing classes by the certain protection
that would be afforded their surplus
earnings, which, for the want of
reliable cache, are now Entrusted to
insecure private banks or investments,
or are secreted beneath floors, in
chimney crevices, under stumps in the
fields and forests, or in equally un-
safe hiding places, or, worse still,
are wasted in extravaganza and dis
sipation.
2. 1t would accommodate all
classes in the many sections where
no banks exist, and in all sections it's
system of cross deposits and with
drawals, which enable the deposition
to make use of any posptoffice
depository in the country, would COM
mend it to public favor.
3. It would tend to force from
weird hiding places. and to add to
the circulation of the country, many
millions of dollars now worse than
idle. especially in the west and south
4. 1t would promote loyalty and
patriotism. Each deposition would
have direct and substantial interest
in the stability and prosperity of
the government intrusted with the
safe keeping and safe return of his
treasure.
5. 1t would protect class unable
to protect itself-the toiling millions
against swindlers and robbers, fire
and flood, unsafe investments and un-
sound banks, against improvidence.
recklessness and dissipation.
6. 1t would strengthen the
finances of the nation by giving
first lien upon the accumulated pro-
ceeds of the industries Of its own
citizens.
z. 1t would 60 far toward secur
ing the bert possible service in post
Offices, in the persons OF postmasters
and clerks whose ability to give bonds
for the correct and faithful excep-
tions, depend upon their integrity,
intelligence and standing in the com
munity.
s. 1t would, by absorbing a
large portion of the national debt,
keep at home and in ulation
great amount of money now sent
abroad to pay interest on securities
held by the foreign creditors of the
government
9. 1t would be bulwark Of de-
Tense agalnts panics and financial
crises. Runs would not be made
upon postofice bank nor would their
doors on their Golfers ever be closed
against a depositor's draft so long
as dollar remained to his credit on
his pass book Their funds would
con stitute a reserve upon which the
masses could implicitly rely in times
of financial disaster and business de-
preston.
The bill which the republicans
have pending in congress has one
feature calculated to create the thrift
habit in people at tender age. 1t
provides that an account may be
opened in his or her own name by any
person ten years or more of age, and
that while a whole dollar will be need
ed to open an account subsequent
deposits of ten cents or nultiples
thereof may be made. Another
provision which NAV become popular
in some quarters is that a married
woman may have an account in her
own right and free from control or
interference on the part of Ler hus-
band.
