Supreme Court to be Enlarged.

During the last session of the gener-
al assembly a jointresolution was pass
ed submitting an amendment to the
people in the primary election this
summer providing for the enlargement
of the supreme court of the state by
the election of an additional associate
Justice, making fou1. instead of three.
The need for the proposed increase is
sosgreat that there is little doubt that
the amendment will be practically
unanimously adopted. In anticipation
of a favorable result, there are said to
be already two applicants for the
place, Judge R. Withers Memminger,
OF Charleston, and Zion. ]. P. Cary, Of
Pickens. Either of these gentlemen
would easily measure up to the re.
quired standard, but South Carolins
can i'll afford to lose the Hon. R. W,
Memminger as a circ1it Judge. Since
he donned the ermine the tone anc
dignity of our courts have been percep.
tibly elevated.
While he dispenses justice with al
even hand, Judge Memminger has moi
hesitatedt to depart from the "beater
path" blazing the way where no pre-
cedent had been established, whenevel

Arraigned Charleston For Her
Lawlessness.

Some having intimated that Hon.
G.. G. Featherstone would have very.
little to say in Charleston against
the sale Of liquor, we publish the
report of his speech in Charleston
Saturday as given by the News and
Courier. Instead of growing weak
er on this particular issue, Mr..
Featherstone had the courage to
speak out more plainly than at the
meetings in dry counties. The
following is the News and Courier's
report:
was received with some applause,
after on. opening anccdote which
took we'll with the cadence, he re-
ferred to his business and profess
sional record, claiming that he had
equal ability with any man in the
race. He said he intended giving
the same prohibition spell in Char
lesion, where I understand it is not
altogether popular, hat l have Civ
en- in all the other counties"
Mr.. Featherstone then proceeded
to give his argument in favor of
Statewide prohibition, saying that
II do not intend to trim my soles to
suit the varying sminds." He said
Charleston county was practically
multiplying the laws Of contiguous
territory.sAt this point the speaker
grew somewhat strong in his denun-
citation of the enforcement of
the liquor law in this city; he did
not mince words but said that the
disgraceful winking at lawlessness
in Charleston prevented this city
WELDING its due influence in the
State.n He said that the so per
cent of the people in the State are
not going to allow the Other 90 per
cent among which is Charleston, to
dictate the policy of the Govern
mSnt.
erstone waxed warmer and stronger
in his denunciation of the illicit
sale of liquor and lack of law en-,
forcement, especially in Charleston,
than he has been on any stump thus
far. He appealed to the better ele'
ment of the city 20 rise up and en-.
force the law, and not to breed
lawlessness'' and raise a generation
of men who have no respect for the
law. This statement was received
with applause.

Mr.. Editor: Allow me to tell you
of the diversified and delightful
meeting held by he Flower Mission
Department of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union on Friday
Is inst at the beautiful and spacious
home of Mrs. j. L. Minis. This
branch of the union was originated
by Jennie Cassiday who, like Dorcas
of old, was noted for her good deeds.
LShe was an invalid and has passed.
to her reward in the great beyond,
but her memory is kept fresh by
observing her birthday, June 9th.
The members of this union strive
to emulate her noble example BY
Edoing some good to the sick and I'M
fortunate. After the usual opening
hymn and prayer, the following in
%teresting program was carried out
and enjoyed by the large assembly:
Greetings from national superin
tendent, Mrs. Leila Sewal, of Bos-
ton; and message from Miss Jessie
Curtis, state superintendent. These
were followed by recitations by
Miss Georgia May Wates; song by
Mrs. J. R. Tompkins; recitation by
Miss Florence Peak; chorus by lit
tie girls; reading, Making smiles,'
by Mrs. R. H. Minis; piano solo by
Miss Ellen Dunovant; recitation

sundry Industrial Enterprises Needed.

~ ShAA4y
AS much as Edgefeld needs another
railroad, her need for sundry industrial
enterprises is almost as great. FOR
some weeks the daily papers have re-
ported the payment Of semi-annual DIV
idends from scores of towns and cities
over the state, but unfortunately Edge
field was not among them. The busl-
nessoof this town is dependent almost
entirely Upon agriculture, consequent
lywhen fhe cotton crop is short the
businesseinterests of Edgefeld suffer
proportionately.

That Edge6eld's roads have been
wonderfully improved within the past
decade, no one can reasonably ques.
tion, and yet our public highways in
the main are far from what they
should be. The fact is, they fall
short Of the standard that is being set
by a majority of the counties. Our
people should be interested in the mat
ter of making further improvement.

ARE MICROBES
In YOUR SCALP?
IL Has Been Proved that Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
microbe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried OH under the observation of en-
inent scientists, This microbe lodges
in the Sebun which is the natural hair
oil, and when permitted to flourish 1t
destroys the hair folicles and in time
the pores entirely close, and the scalp
gradually takes on shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope of
the>growth of hair being revived.
Dandruff is contagious disease,
which is largely due to destructive
microbe, which when left to pursue its
course causes itching scalp, falling
hair and badness. Dandruff is caused
by the microbe affecting the glands
which produce the sebaceous matter,
which latter then unnaturally dries up
and scales Off
We have remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around the
hair roots, tighten and reyitalize the
hair roots and overcome badness, so
long as there is any life left in the
hair roots.
We back up this statement with our
own personal guarantee that this
remedy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
will be supplied free of all cost to the
user if it fails to do as we state.
1t will frequently restore gray and
faded hair to its original color, proYid-
ing loss of color has been caused by
disease; yet it is in no sense a dye.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic accomplishes
these results by making every hair
root, follice and pigment gland strong
and active, and by stimulating nat
ural flow of coloring pigment through
ont the. hair cells.
ReSail "g3" Hair Tonic is entirely
free from grease or sediment, is ex-
ceedingly pleasant to use and will not
gum the hair or permanently soil the
clothing or pillows.
We exact no obligations or promises
we simply ask you to give it a
thorough trial and if not satisfied tell
us and we will refund the money you
paid us for it. Two sizes, prices 80
cents and Sl.00 Remember you can
obtain it in Yale only at our store

SPEED CARNIVAL IN
PORT HURON TO
BE BEST EVER
81 900 Trottins and Pacing Stakes
Have Fine List of Entries. 10
other Events on Program from
July IL TO IS Inclusive.

The great carnival of speed to be in
augurated at Port Huron July II, and
continuing until July 10, promises to be
the best and most successful ever put
on by the Port Huron Driving club.
The entries paid up in the 2:24 trot-
ting stake of 81 600 number fourteen,
and il will be one of the best green trot-
ting races seen in Canada or Michigan
this summer as all the crack green trot-
tiers of the Dominion and the United
States, campaigning on the bali mile
tracks, are entered and as all of them
have shown unusual promise in their
preliminary work one of the best races
of the season is looked forward to.
There are twenty one paid entries in
the 2:20 81 600 pacing stake, which en-
braces practically all the best half-mile
track PAGERS campaigning this year,
which insures a great race among the
PAGERS and an event well worth seeing.
Besides these two stakes there are
thirteen other events covering all classes
of horses and one of the best half mile
track meetings in this section of the
country will be held at Port Huron,
July ~ to 10, as Port Huron is the
place of the annual clash between the
Canadian and American campaigners
who are specially prepared to race it
out for the supremacy between the
horses of the two countries.
Many Canadian horses are staked and
entered at Port Huron and the outlook
is very promising for weeks carnival

Blue Ribbon Races.

The unexpected speed shown 10y
horses that have raced on the half mile
tracks, coupled with the splendid trial
miles by those that are intended for
mile track racing only, shows that the
average time down the grand circuit
will be faster this year than it has been.
There may not be any more sensational
trotters and PAGERS in sight, but the
number of good horses capable of beat
ing 2:l0 is considerably greater. This
class of horses will first be sent to their
limit at Detroit's annual blue ribbon
meeting, August to 3, which promises
to be unrivaled by anything in the
country.
There are so many fast horses that
both stake and class racing will be hot
ly contested. Think of twenty-three
in the M. Il NJ. and like number in
the Chamber of Commerce stake, some
thing far beyond any other renewal of
either event The classes range from
five or six in the free-for-alls to dozen
or more in the division between 2:09
and 2:l5. With large fields and the
best lot of horses that ever campaigned
down the big line, racing in connection
with the famous Detroit meeting can
not help being brilliant.
The demand for box and reserved
seats in the grand stand at the state
fair grounds is such that is believed
more people will come from distant
points than heretofore. Not only is it
a delightful time of the year for an out
| ing in the City of the Straits, but the
visitors are afforded an opportunity to
see all that is best in harness racing.
There is only one blue ribbon meeting
and this is its twenty.sixth anniversary.
