After ySickness

nothing so rapidly restores health
and vigor as SCOTS EMULSION.
It is the essence of natural body
nourishment, so medically perfect
that nature Immediately appropri-
ates and distributes it to every
organ, every tissue-feeding,
nourishing and restoring them to
normal activity.
SCOTS EMULSION is not a
patent medicine, but is natures
body-nourishment with curative,
upbuilding properties and without
a drop of drug or alcohol. 1t con-
tains superior cod liver oil, the
hypophosphites of lime and soda
with glycerine, and is so delicately
emulsifed that it enters the system
without digestive effort builds,
tones ano sustains.
After Group, whooping cough,
measles and other child ailments it
is natures ally in restoring health.
After grippe or pneumonia it
imparts strength and health, and
for colds, coughs, sore, tight chests
and throat troubles SCOTS
EMULSION gives the greatest relief
known.

and going down to defeat. After
long siege of talk is was found that
the bill was fatally defective, in that
the title did not cover the subject
matter of the bill and the measure
was thrown out on the point of or
der.
Some interesting matters are still
pending in both Houses, one of them
being the resolution by Mr. Rembert
growing out of the charges in Sena-
tor Tillman's letter of reply. The
resolution calls on Senator Tillman
to prove his charges. This was
scheduled to come up in the Senate
Monday, but il was deferred on OBJ
lection by Senator Carlisle.
Another interesting resolution is
that calling for the investigation of
DR. S C Mitchell, president Of the
State University. Theinvestigation
is to cover Governor Blease's charge
that DR. Mitchell made an agree
ment with the Peabody board tend
ing to deprive Winthrop College OF
its share of the fund and to divide
the money between the University
and the negro schools. The resolu'
tion of inquiry passed the House,
but has not yet come up for action
in the Senate. j S REYNOLDS.

SOLICITOR WALTER WELLS
Dies of Pneumonia at Florence
After Short Illness.

Florence, February 2:-Waltel
Wells, Solicitor of the Twelfth cir
cult for two terms. recently reflect
ed for the third. died this morning
at $50 o'clock from pneumonia.
Last summer Mr. Wells health
failed and he was not able to appear
at more than two campaign meet
ings, but was reelected by an over
whelming vote. Later he was strick'
en- with something like paralysis
while attending court in Dillon and
he never fully recovered from the
effects. A few days ago he was at
tackled by pneumonia, and little hope
had been held out by the physicians
for his recovery.
Walter Wells was born ia Colum-
bia 40 years ago of Marion parent
age and most ST his youth was spent
in that county.
He partly educated himself at the
University of South Carolina, grad
uating in the class of 1895 and COM
ing at once to Florence to practice.
He was sent to the Legislature in
1900 and was State Senator in 1904,
and before his second term was out
was appointed Solicitor to fill the
unexpired term of j S Wilson, elect
ed Judge. He has held that posi-
ton since.
Mr. Wells was one of the most
highly esteemed young men in this
section of the State, prominent in
every good work that was undertak-
en- for the people of this section, and
by industry and good judgment had
begun to accumulate a comfortable
property.
AS a Solicitor, Mr. Wells had re-
markable record. He never prose-
cuted trivial cases and rarely failed
to convict those he did prosecute.

LAST week.
SEVERAL ELECTIONS PULLED
OFF..SOME MATTERS DISPOS.
ED OF.-.OTHERS PENDING.

Columbia, January 81 (SpeciaD:-
The election of B R Tillman as SEN
ator from South Carolina and the
reelection of Capt D J Griffith as
superintendent of the South Caro-
lima penitentiary, the selection of
members of the board of directors
of the penitentiary and of trustees
of the University, with the passage
of number of uncontested bills,
and tabling of the resolution pro-
viding for commission to investi-
gate employers liability laws these
make up the account of the Legisla-
ture for the sessions this week.
The session was marked by con-
siderable debate, but by compare
lively little action, so far.
When the Senate met Monday
night there was seen to be some lit
tie feeling of resentment toward
Senator Tillman on the score of his
recent letter in which he mentioned
his suspicious that certain railway
lawyers had. perhaps, too much in
fluence on the Legislature. Senator
Young of Union went so far in his
expression of resentment as to sug-
gest that the election of the Senator
be postponed until he proved his
charges. This effort, however, as
might have been expected, proved
fruitless. The members were pledg-
ed to vote for Senator Tillman and
and that was the only thing they
could do. Thus, when Senator Till
man came up for reelection in sep
arate session. he received the unani-
nous vote of both Houses.
In the joint session Wednesday
several other places were filled.
Capt D J Griffith, Superintendent of
the penitentiary, was reelected over
Gideon Long, of Union county, the
vote being l40 to 20.
The following three directors of
the penitentiary were reelected:
John G Mobley of Winnsboro; A K
Sanders of Sumter and Jasper M
Smith of Colleton. A number Of
other candidates were nominated.
but the three were elected on the
first ballot.
PA Wilcox of Florence and w M
Hamer of Dillon were elected trus-
tees of the University of South Car
olina to fill two vacancies.
Wednesday was also marked by
the death of the Miller resolution to
provide for a commission to investi-
gate and report on employers liza
bility problems. The end came af-
ter long debate, in which several
members took occasion to express
their kindly feelings towardsl the
laboring classes.
The Senate has also had plenty of
debate with comparatively little
action.
Tuesday night saw one of the hot
test fights the Senate has ever had
over a minor bill. 1t came with the
calling up of the bill providing that
all automobiles must have numbers
before as well as behind. The de-
bate lastsd some two hours and
half and amendments made them
selves notable by their .bobbing up
