had almost the natural flush Of health.

Doctor Thayer squared himself and

DANGEROUS cALOMEl GOING
OUT OF USE
a Safer, More Reliable Remedy Has
Taken Its Place in the Drug Store
and in the Home.

A few years ago, men, women and
children took calomel for sluggish
liver and for constipation. They took
risks when they did so. for calomel
is a dangerous drug. Your family doc
tor will be the first to tell you this If
he discovers you dosing yourself with
calomel.
But the drug trade has found a safer,
more pleasant remedy than calomel in
Dodson's Liver Tone.
The York Drug Store tells us that
their drug store sells Dodson's Liver
Tone in practically every case of bill
iousness and liver trouble where calo-
mel used to be taken.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
liver tonic that is absolutely harmless
for children and grown people. 1t sells
for so cts. bottle and is guaranteed by
the York Drug Store who will refund
YOUR money If it does not give quick,
gentle relief without any of calomers
unpleasant after effects.

Columbia Record, Friday: Your
committee also had a meeting In
Charleston and as a result OF that tes-
timony and other testimony along the
same line taken in Columbia, we are
convinced that a regular system OF
graft exists and has existed for years
in that city In connection with the WORK
of the dispensary constables," says the
committee appointed by the last gen.
eral assembly to investigate the charge
made by Governor Blease against the
Ansel winding-up commission and Tor
mer Attorney General Lyon, In tnelr
report filed with the senate this morn
ing, and ordered printed in the jour
nal. The majority report is signed oy

signed by Representative Cary agrees

which Mr.. Cary does not think Is reie-
want. The report, with the exception
that B. F. Arthur when member OF
the Ansel commission overcharged the
state. saws Of the charges made py

therefore without foundatlon IN iact.
Attorney General Lyon. and the mem
bers Of the Ansel commission Dr. w. y.
Murray, chairman, ]. s. Brice, Avery
Patton, John McSween, A. N. WOOD,
are exonerated Of all charges MADE
against them. The committee THINKS
that Thos B. Fielder misled them In ms
statements about what his testimony
would show when the committee went
TO Augusta, Ga.. last summer to take
his testimony. They, however, went 10
Augusta as they thought something
would be gotten from Fielder and as ne
would not come to the state because ne

tion. But his testimony established
nothing, in the report Of the commit

A Furniture Pointer

Right NOW is a good time to buy
Furniture. whether you buy from US
or from some other dealer. We say
NOW, because Furniture prices have
been during the past year steadily
advancing. and the tendency NOW Is
upward. OF course, you'll always be
able to buy cheap" furniture, but at
the same time you will be paying
higher price than you did last year
perhaps, or few years ago.. The up
, ward trend Is steady and buying now
Is good business sense. If you expect
to buy Furniture this year. the best
time to buy Is right now, and we are
sure that you can buy 1t to the best
advantage at this store. Our stock

Demonstration Agent Blair Thinks Ev'
erybody Should Attend.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
1 returned, on yesterday morning.
from Columbia, s. c., where l have
been attending a meeting OF the farm
demonstration agents and visiting the
National Corn exposition.
While our meeting was being held II
was decided by the exposition authori-
ties to continue the exposition up
through Friday, February 14th, and IN
order that the news be spread over the
entire state the authorities asked u.s. as
agents, to have our respective county
papers to kindly say something through
their columns, in their next issue.
AS to my personal opinion Of the Corn
show I think II is one Of the grandest
things that have ever attended In the
way Of an agricultural display or ex-
hibit. and my opinion Is the opinion or
all those who have attended.
A great many Gas we'll as myself be-
fore / attended same) have an idea in
their heads that 1t is merely corn
show and nothing else, but such Ism I
the case; as II Is a show Of every k1no
of plant life that grows In the twenty
seven states represented. Besides the
plant kingdom being shown, there Is
grand display Of all kinds OF farm ma,
chinery good road apparatus, dairy ana
mill machinery. There Is also hela eV-
cry day practical and theoreticaL oe-
monstrations Of improved methods OF
farming.
To some It may seem tnat am eS-
aggeratirg but think 1t is the grand
est agricultural show that South caro-
lima has ever had; not excepting the
exposition which was held at Charies-
ton some years ago, and as II mas peen
extended another week / don't think IL
will be anything but wise for ever
South Carolina farmer to attend. reel
safe in saying that we will never get an
opportunity Of seeing such grea!
show so near our doors again soon, ana
owing to the fact that 1t was only
through fame Of q South Carolina boy
that the show was permitted to be held
in columbia, I think II Is the duty or
all the farmers and business men or
the state to honor 1t. (the exposltlon)'
with their presence before 1t Will have
closed on next Friday at n. m. Therc
are things at the exposition that 1
would never have seen had not gone,
and II Is not in book form as some 1ar,
rrars say but practical and the real
article.
Thanking YOU II you will make men.

SERVICE

Because of the fact that 1 have
been engaged exclusively in the insur-
ance business for fourteen years,
have studied it from top to bottom
and am still at it, and represent the
oldest and strongest companies, / do
not believe there is an agency any
where that is in position to render
better or more Accurate Service to
the person who wants any kind OF
GOOD insurance, than mine. If you
place your fire insurance with an
agent who knows little, If any, more
about the insurance business than
YOU do yourself, 1t will not make
particle of difference whether the In
surance is properly written or wheth,,
er the company is time tried and
fire tried" and noted for Its lib
erality in adjusting losses, If you never
have q fire, but in case you do nave
a fire you may find when 1t is too late
that there Is really difference In
