records, my calculations and esti-
mates, and they are respectfully sub
mitted for your consideration. In view
of these facts, I would earnestly rec
ommend that you pass an act, OF acts,
if necessary, authorizing the State
sinking fund commission to lend to
the county of Newberry, on the note
the county treasurer and the county
supervisor, the sum Of S37,650.00 for
the purpose of retiring all Of the
bonds, and that the same tax levy be
made in the respective townships as
is now made, and in lieu of same, and
that said taxes be pledged for the re-
payment of the said loan.
If this act be passed, I believe that
we can borrow the money, for the in
coming governor Of the State, who will
be chairman of the State sinking fund
commission, is thoroughly conversant
with the burdens under which two of
our townships have been struggling
in paying s50,00000 in seven per cent
bonds for a railroad that has never
been built, and for which amount they
have not received nor will they ever
receive amy return whatsoever. Un-
derstanding these local conditions as
he does, I am satisfied that We will
have "a friend at court in this mat
ter, and that the next chairman Of the
State sinking fund commission will
give OUT application more considera-
ton than has been heretofore done.
By the manner outlined above, as
you will note, the tax levy will not be
increased the slightest fraction Of a
mill, the final payment of these bonds
will be accelerated in each instance,
many, many years, and these town
ships will be saved thousands of dol
lars in interest.
Should you desire any further or
fuller information in regard to the af-
fairs of the commission, same Will be
cheerfully furnished.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted.
Fred. H. Dorninick,
Secretary.

MAY KEEP FOR PERSONAL USE.
Supreme Court Renders Important De-
cision in Liquor Case.

CO1unDla, jan. IU.-IlOIuEuS CAdI IL
is not unlawful to have whiskey in
possession for personal use, and de-
fniag the powers OF the act OF 1909
with reference to the sale Of whiskey
clearly, the supreme court today re-
versed the Spartanburg county court
i'm the case of Elias Rookard, who was
convicted for violation of the act,
The opinion is by Associate Justice
Woods and construes clearly the seV-
eral sections of the act, which have
never before been reviewed by the su-
pre1ne court.
The defendant was convicted in
Spartanburg county in January of last
year, on the charge Of having whls-
key in his possession and was indict-
ed under the section Of the act Of
1909, which ends: "And which if drunk
to excess will produce intoxication,
EXCEPT as hereinafter provided" No
question as to the constItutlonallty OF
the act was raised in the appeal, but
the defendant contended that the cir
cult Judge erred in his construction OF
the statute, when he charged the jury
in effect that the statute makes the
mere keeping in possession liquor by
a private individual :. criminal offense;
and that, therefore, the jury should
convict if they found that the defend
ant had liquor in his possession, even
if they should find that he had not I'M
lawfully received nor accepted it and
had not kept 1T in possession for an
unlawful use.
The decision of the supreme court
says that the question is whether the
circuit Judge was right in holding the
act of 1909, to prohibit and make Grim
inal the keeping in possession OF Ii
quor in this State under all circum-
stances, without regard to the man
ner of acquiring possession or the
purpose for which the liquor was ac-
uuired. ~It seems clear that the sta
tute can not be so construed" says
the opinion. The court continueds:
"Such a construction would make the
act itself destructive, for other Sec
tons CT this act, as we'll as portions
of the dispensary statute of 1907, rec
ognizet1 by this statute as still in force,
provide for the sale Of liquor by the
county dispensaries, and certainly a
legal sale and purchase carried the
right to the purchaser to keep in his
possession the liquor he has purchas-
ed, provided he does not apply it to
an unlawful Use"
The court continues that one may
lawfully keep in his possession liquor
purchased for personal use under the
protection Of the interstate commerce
! clause; of the federal constitution
"Any attempt says the decision, "by
the general assembly to interfere with
this right would be futile and the pre-
sumption is very strong against the
; legislative intention to make such ar
attempt. Indeed, the right to keep in
possession liquor so purchased, is eX,
pressly recognized in section q of the
dispensary act of 1907, which has moi
been repealed
The court says that it follows tha7

DISCREPANCIES ARE FOUND IN
TOBACCO iMPoRTA-

$5,0CO,000 ANNUALLY
RESULTS OF COUNTRYWIDE IN.
vEsTlGATIoN BY UNCLE
SAM.

New York.-A countrywide investi,
cation which the Treasury Depart
ment has started has disclosed dis
erepancies in the wrapper and filler
statistics of tobacco imports from
Cuba, which have deprived the gov
ernment of between 100000 and
$5.OO0,00O annually for the last five
years. Statisticians show that cigar
makers who turn out pure Havana ci.
gars must have six per cent. of their
stock in wrapper" while the statis-
tics for the Treasury Department
show fraction under one-fifth of one
per cent. OF the Cuban importations
classified as wrapper" and paying
duty as such.
Advance reports on this investiga-
tion show. it is said, that Cuban i'm,
portations have been admitted under
. classification which in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1909, deprived
the customs house of $3,OOO,O0O to $5,-
100000.
1t was said by treasury officials
that approximately the same sum had
been lost to the government annually
for at least five years.
From the investigation thus far, it
was the belief this loss was a matter
OF long established trade custom,
rather than of frauds.
Collector Loeb is quoted as saying
1--WE knew that the tobacco trade has
been getting the best of US, but we dc
not know to what extent; and the in
vestigation has not proceeded far
enough to determine"
The probable result Of the inquiry,
Mr.. Loeb continued, would be an
amendment to the customs regula-
tions, by which the custom house
could arrive closer at the amount OF
each class of tobacco leaf imported
from Cuba than was possible under
the present regulations, and that at
this stage of the investigation neither
criminal prosecutions nor civil suits
for back duties were contemplated.
1t is an open secret that thousands
of pounds Of Havana leaf which in tho
words of the tariff law is Suitable
for wrappers" and actually is used as
such. are brought into the country un
der the classification Of filler" at
$1,20 less duty a pound than should be
paid on everything used for wrappers.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuucura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as q nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation. and in every In
stance, always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case In
particular was that Of a lady friend
OF mine who, when child, was af-
dicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely. breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. told her to get
at once q set Of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly we'll.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall Of the year. They used to
be SO painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her,
have also seen them cure children
Of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks. and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and l used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
I began to apply the Ointment.
Last May l had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side Of the nail was edging right
down in the side OF my toe. cut
the nail out Of the cavity 1t made, and
of course applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. 1 have Just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering

The dignity of domestic service will be
revived just SO soon as the housewives learn
the much-neglected lesson that the girl who
works in the home is not menial and
should not be treated as such.
Why is it that well-to-do wife may per-
form her household duties without lowering
her dignity, while when the same work is
done by so-called servant it is considered
menial labor? And the servant must enter
by the rear door even though it be necessary

Oil stoves In Pig Pens.

Atchison, Kan.-Farmers near here
are installing coal oil stoves in their

they claim, that certain amount of
warmth in the sites not only makes
life worth living for the hogs, but is a
material aid to rapid growth in the
Tlnk-nosed pigs, which, in the end,
adds to the bank account of their
owners. The coal oil stoves used in
the hog sheds are simple contriv-
ances, placed on shelves out of reach

$3.50 each. The wicks are never

is kept good.
