EASY RELIEF
FROM CONSTIPATION
The Remedy that Replaces Calomel
Causes No Restriction of
Habit or Diet.

1t is mistake to take calomel
when your liver is lazy and needs
oning up. Hundreds of people in
this section have discovered that Dod-
on's Liver Tone is thousand times
better and safer and its action is just
S sure. There are none of the bad
after-effects of calomel to Dodson's
LIVER Tone and no danger of saliva
ion.
For attacks of constipation or bill
uosness one or two spoonfuls of
his mild, pleasant tasting vegetable
iquid are enough and Peoples Drug
Store gives a personal guarantee that
every bottle will do all that is claim
ed for it. Money back in any case
where it fails.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs only so
cents for a large bottle. Remember
the name because there are any num-
Der of remedies sold in imitation of
Dodson claims. Some of them have
names very similar to Dodson's Liver
Tone-and are in same color pack
age. These limitations are not guar
anteed and may be very harmful.
Go to Peoples Drug Store and you will
surely get the genuine.

Largest Power Project.

The state engineer of the state of
Oregon, John H. Lewis, has submitted
project for developing 100000 con-
tinuous electric horsepower at Big
Eddy, point three miles above the
Dalles on the Columbia river. At this
location the river runs through mar
row gorge which could be closed by
dam only 800 feet long, and $50
feet above it's foundations, and the
construction of canal 900 feet wide,
20 feet deep and a mile and half in
length. The head of water is IS feet
at low water, AZ feet at high water,
and the mean flow of the river
throughout the year is $4,000 cubic
feet per second. The hydro-electric
units would be each of $4,000 horse
power.
The total cost of the scheme would
be about 100000 Scientific
American.

BANK OF BRUNSON CLOSED.
Action of State Bank Examiner
Causes Surprise.

Brunson, April 5.-An astonishing g
end apparently unique proceeding on
he part of the State bank examiner
was the closing of the Bank of Brur.
son here today. No creditor has CIV
en- the bank any trouble and the
hank has not failed to meet any de-
mand of the depositors. In the clos
ing Of the bank no fraud or shortage
is charged. The depositors do not
criticise the bank officials here, and
many have voluntarily offered their
help, and express confidence that
their money is safe. The Bank of
Brunson is one of the oldest banks in
Hampton County, organized in 1901,
and has resources amounting to over
100000.
There is not the unrest or excite
ment usually attendant upon a
trouble of this kind This is hard
season of the year, and the closing of
the bank works a great hardship
upon the community in having so
much money tied up.
The people express confidence in
the belief that this trouble will be
only temporary. They have great
confidence in the president, who is
rot stranger here, but who is a
native citizen, and has accumulated
quite a fortune here during the last
twenty years by hard work aud good
Judgment and careful, judicious
financing.

Senator Tillman's letter On

Senator Tillman's letter On the
mileage book question is timely and
will serve to again direct the atten-
ton of the people to one of the great
hardships the travelling public is
forced to put up with, as well as one
of the greatest instances of petty
meanness OF the part of the railroads
that has come to our attention in a
long time. The railroads adopted
this regulation as matter of spite
because an act was passed by the
legislature requiring that mileage
should be pulled On trains. The leg
islature should have adopted a fiat
two cent mileage rate at the last ses-
sion, but it didn't, and we cannot
hope for substantial relief from rail-
road extortion in South Carolina as
long as editors of newspapers and
many legislators $50 we are inform
ed ride on free passes. We do not
object to exchanging advertising
space for transportation, but it should
be on business basis-so much
space for a given amount of mileage.
The newspapers don't run their af-
fairs in any such slip shod manner
with anybody else, and why should
they make an exception of the rail-
roads? If we live to attend the meet
ing of the State Press Association
this summer, we serve notice here
and now that we intend to offer
resolution along this line. We shall
if possible put the Association on rec
ord as favoring or being against put
ting this matter on business basis.
Our idea is to offer the railroads
space at cash rates in exchange for
mileage, (not passes) such mileage
to be good for members of the family
of ar editor or persons who are bona
fide employees of the paper, and a
certain amount of mileage for a
certain amount of space. The papers
charge everybody else fixed rate
for advertising, but the railroads pay
much or little, all depending on the
inclination of the editor to use his
free pass" Let's put the matter on
a business basis and retain our self
respect and cease being under obliga-
ton to the corporations.

kew's Famous Gardens.

Kew Gardens, which has recently
suffered heavy loss by the destruc-
ton of it's tea pavilion by suffra-
gettes, originally belonged to the roy
al family. 1t was given to the nation
by Queen Victoria in 1910.
The Gardens are a huge kind Of
botanical clearing house. There you
con get information about any plant
that has been discovered, be told how
to grow it, how to care for it, what
it is worth, and anything else you
may want to know about it. Letters
come from all parts of the world to
Kew wanting information about this
or that plant.
Though the very center of the plant
world, strange and rare plants that
arrive there do not always take kind
ly to the great Conservatives. They
sicEen and pine away and would die
were it not for a small, cosy structure
known as 1.-The hospital" There they
rapidly recover their health and re-
turn to public life once more.
The Great Palm House, one of the
principal sights of the Gardens, was
built in 1S45 at cost of $4,000
pounds. 1t is 1852 feet long, 100 feet
broad and 60 feet high, and contains
nearly an acre of glass. Six huge
ovens heat this enormous glass house.
Three are kept going night and day.

three in winter only. Over $1,000
feet of hot water piping is used in
the palm house.
Kew Gardens possess one of tile
biggest collection of dried plants ir
the world, a collection which is cor
stantly being added to by travellers
ard scientific institutions in all parts
Of the world. To show how huge
this collection really is one bequest,
that O. Sir w. G. Hooker, contained
no fewer than 100000 specimens
of dried plants
