How About ThiSl

We would like to suggest to the
town of Clinton that in it's efforts to
become county seat and to form
the new county of Musgrove that it
could not do better thing than to
build the roads leading through the
town. We do not believe there is a
worse stretch of road from Newberry
to Spartanburg than the streets of
Clinton, or at least the one you go
on the way to Laurens from New
berry. This, too, is part of the
CapitalIto-Chunty highway. Gbod
roads are an evidence of the right
spirit and of progressive communi-
ty as we'll as of civilization Clinton
viii pardon the suggestion. There are
others besides Clinton that need to
wake up on the subject OF road i'm
provement.-The Herald and News.

A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste Of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir.
culetion Is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil. is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for 1t contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting tis~
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifes the sys.
TEN against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice of Alexander Hamil-
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, / have q
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and we'll. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"
If vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, we will return your money.

Japan Maintains Principle
of the Integrity of China

TOXIC, Japan, January 27.-Japan in
tends TO adhere to the principle of the
integrity of the Chinese empire. So much
was gathered from the replies Of Wis.,
count Uchida. the foreign minister. to in
terpellations introduced at a meeting to-
day of the committee OF the house OF
representatives.
NJ. Inukai, the leader of the national
ist party, who has just returned from
Shanghai. asked the foreign minister: lis
the japanese government adhering to
the principle of the integrity of China2'
Viscount Uchida replied unhesitatingly
In the affirmative, pointing out the pro-
visions of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
and the conventions OF Japan with France
and Russia.
What is the principle which is guiding
the benevolent assistance offered by
Japan to China?' was NJ Inukars Sec
ond question.
The foreign minister responded: This
offer was made TO China after an under
standing had been reached with Great
Britain on the subject, and we are ready
to put IL into actual operation at the mo-
ment an opportunity should arise. but so
Tar there has been no occasion"
NJ. Inukai then strongly criticised the
unsteadiness OF the governments policy
as regards China. continuing: 1T is now
an open secret that the Japanese govern
ments sympathy leaned first toward the
reigning dynasty in China. This policy
was afterward changed under the conven-
lent cover of strict neutrality. The result
is that a want of confidence in Japan
exists both at Pekdng and among the
revolutionaries
An animated discussion followed on the
same lines, but the doors of the house OF
representatives were closed.

PEKING, China. January 2I.-The
agents of the revolutionary party in this
city recently intimated that a dynamite
campaign was not improbable in the near

and today may be the beginning of a
series of similar crimes. 1t is evidently
the intention of the dynamiters to pick
out the most prominent officials and mill
tary officers who are known to be OPP
posed to the republican movement.
The republican agents, who do not at
tempt to keep the nature of their mission
in Peking secret, declare that fighting
will not be resumed Immediately, al

communicate openly with the staff of
Premier Yuan Shi Kai. many of the
members of which have expressed revo-
