When a child sulks drowsily, or is

buoyancy of spirits.

effective laxative stimulant is indi.

now prescribing DR.. Caidwell's Syrup

positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and Is an ideal

THEIR MOST JOYOUS M E

The talk in one of the cloak rooms
Of congress turned to the thought or
the happiest moments in ones life.
Senator Bailey said his came the day
he wore his first pair Of trousers. And
Paul Rowland of Ohio declared his
big moment Of Joy was when he was
permitted nee to drive a chariot IN
a pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redfield, who Is a
wise chap, even If he does hail from
Brooklyn, said it was when he was
going to school andStrying to master
long division. Three Dr. four aisles

1t was not an ordinary yawn, but one
Of such genuine expression of feeling
toward things in general that it at
tracted Redfeld's attention. He was
fortunate in having a paper wad right
at hand, ready for any emergency,
and he aimed this at the boys caver-
nous mouth. The wad went right
square into the goal and-well, Fourth

DISFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine OF the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 1888, West Point, Neb.,

and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample Of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed
free on application to "Cuticura,"

WHOLESALE GRAFT"
IN LIQUOR TRADE. SENSATIONAL
CHARGES SUPPORTED BY
TESTIMONY.
PROTECTION MONEY IS PAID
According To Tho Witnesses Before
Tho Committee, The System of Buy.
Ing Immunity Has Been In Effect
Some Time-constables Collectors.

Charleston.-Testimony tending to
show wholesale graft in connection
with the Charleston whiskey situation
was given before the legislative inves'
tigating committee, which held two
long working sessions here recently.
The committee adjourned to meet in
Augusta on July 8, when the testi-
mony Of T. B. Fielder, the Atlanta at
torney will be taken. Man after NAL
of various nationalities appearing be-
fore the committee at the different
sessions openly and unblushingly ad-
mitted that they were blind tigers"
and that they were violating the law
The system of collecting protection
money" was outlined by the various
witnesses. According to their state
ments there is q system something
like the following in existence In
Charleston: The blind tiger" buys
his whiskey from the wholesale dealer
and pays sums ranging from SIS to SIC
a month for the wholesaler to pro
tect him from the state whiskey con
stables. In several instances the al
legged graft was traced to well-known
wholesale dealers, whose names were
given. These witnesses said that the
wholesalers had told them that the
protection fund was in turn to be de-
livered to the whiskey %constables. Va
rious witnesses appearing charged
that they had paid this protection
fund to J. Henry Doscher, Santos Sot
tile and P. ]. O'Neill, all said to be
we'll known whiskey dealers Of Char
lesion. Every effort was made by the
committee to subpoena these men, but
it was found that they had left the
city. This report was made to the
committee by the sheriff Of Charles
ton county. The committee decided
to summon the three men named and
others to appear in Columbia at an
early date.

PROVIDE ONE-YEAR COURSE
In Agriculture For Practical Young
Farmers Wishing to Make Busl-
ness Of Their Occupation.

Charleston.-President W. M. Riggs,
Of Clemson College, issues the follow
ing statement concerning the new one
year agricultural course at Clemson:
Beginning next session, Clemson
College will give an Intensive one
yec : agricultural course to young farm
ers who desire to learn the important
yet simple fundamental principles
which underlie successful agriculture.
This course will begin October /
and close June 1, and will be open
to young men IS years old and over.
The course includes none Of the usual
academic branches as mathematics,
English, history, etc., but is confined
to a study of the principles OF crop
production, horticulture, animal hus-
bandry, dairying. etc. Agricultural
arithmetic and simple farm bookkeep-
ing will be taught, and instead Of the
usual English branches, a simple
course in parliamentary practice and
public speaking will be given sufi'
cient to enable the student when he
returns to his community to preside
at q public meeting or to hold a farm
ers' institute.
The purpose Of the course Is to take
young men who know the practical
side Of farming and make Of them
better and more scientific farmers,
and community leaders and builders
as well.
Clemson College has been ~unjustly
criticised because many Of its agri-
cultural graduates do not return to
the farm. The college has no power
to coerce it's graduates. There are
no obligations imposed by the state
laws even on the holders of scholar
ships. Four years Of scientific col
lege work tend to prepare not only
for farming, but for lucrative posi-,
lions in teaching and in scientific
lines Of work as we'll. In fact, the
demand along these lines the country
over is greater than the supply.
