A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD q
jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you arc
in need Of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence.
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills arc unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they DO
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all tho secretions Of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in . healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There arc 28 feet of human
bowels, which is really . sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumati.m
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
j naQ my way i Woulu pIouipit Lhe soie
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion.
Ind so paralyzs the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are . tonic
to the stomach. liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead Of weaken; they en-
rich tho blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calonel. no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

of three monkeys so often seen in
photographs from Japan represents a
favorite maxim of the Japanese. One
monkey holds his hand over his ear
that he may hear no evil" the center

third covers both eyes with his hands
that he may see no evil" This group

Columbia State.
That one of the messages of the
governor directing attention to the
violations of the law by persons hold
ing more than one Office or position
under the State or the United States
deserves to be commended. For years,
many years, The State has from time
to time insisted that the spirit and
the letter Of the State constitution
should be carried out and the COVER
nor echoes in his message a criticism
that has been aimed with justice al
more than one South CaTolinian Of
prominence.
In some of the cases, the duality OF
of1ce-holding is in doubt, some ques-
tion remaining as to whether both Of
fees held are of the nature contem-
plated in the language Of the constitu-
ton. In others, there is no doubt
that the law is violated and as to them
the law should be enforced.
The wisdom of the sweeping inhibi-
ton of the constitution is not here
discussed. The amendment proposed
in the pending school law which
would enable members of the legisla-
ture, for instance, to be school trus-
tees, is fortified by strong arguments
but, until the constitution is amend
ed, it should be obeyed. To that prop
osition, there is but one side.

Under this caption, the Newberry
Observer has a splendid editorial. 1t
follows:
eve do not believe that the State
constitution ever. intended to prevent
a public officer from serving On the
board of trustees of a State college.
Take the case of trustee of Clemson
for instance: The Clemson bequest,
with its provisions for life trustees
had been accepted before the constl-
tuition was adopted, and of course was
accepted with the provision in it.
eff the constitutional convention
had been so very dIesirous of keeping
public officers off these boards, why
in the name of common sense dld 1t
provide that the governor, the STATE
sunerintendents of education and two
members of the legislature, viz, the
chairman of the educational commit
tees in the house and senate respec-
lively, should be members OF these
boards?
eve are no lawyer, and therefore
do not undertake to go into learn
ed constitutional argument; but tnaV
is the way it strikes us.
"And another thing that strikes US
is that there is a good deal OF per-
sonal and political spite and preJu-
dice at the bottom of the whole ousa-
ness"
We think the Observer has inter-
preted the law correctly, and that IT
has given the right explanation as 10
the cause of the agitation that mas
been going on. There is nothing more
to be said on the subject.

tlemen named are openly violating the
letter and the spirit of our States S
constitution. Others may differ with
me- This is my construction of the
law and I felt that it was my duty,
under my oath, to see that the constl-
tuition and laws of my State are up
held, to call the matte: to the atten-
ton of the general assembly.
PERSONALLY, I have absolutely no
interest in the matter. I hold the
highest office within the gift of the
people of my State. I am neither en-
vious or jealous Of any man and I
thank God that I hold in my heart no
malice. Many of those gentlemen are
my personal and political friends and
I would be pleased to see them hold
as many positions as they can obtain
if it is not in violation Of the law.
There may be others violating this
same section of the constitution. If
I knew of it, I would be pleased to
give you the names, as your commit
tee requests. If I learn of any others
the information shall be furnished you.
II have the honor to be,

Error as to Weston.
Governor Blease made an error in
the portion of his letter to the investi-
eating committee, referring to Senator
Francis H. Weston, who is not trus-
tee Of the University of South Car
olina- He was at one time, but follow
ing the adoption of the State constitu-

struction of that instrument the gov

designated it as a Depository for Pos

Post-Office at Ardmore.
The First National Bank has a

Washington. 1t is rule of the De.
partment never to extend the charter
of a National Bank without first max
ing thorough examination of its
affairs. 1t is also a rule of the De
partment never TO let two National
Banks consolidate without making an
examination of their affairs: but the
First National Banks charter in 1910
was extended for twenty years long
er without an examination, and was
permitted to consolidate with the City
National Bank without an eXamina-
tion. 1t is assumed that the Depart
ment in Washington permitted these
things 10 be done because of the
extraordinary clean record made by
this bank durings its history.
