so reliably in cases OF constipation

is spreading more widely all the time
Dodson's Liver Tone is harmless

unplcasantly- often with danger for
constipation and sluggish liver, Dod-
sons Liver Tone does for you safely
and pleasantly, with no pain and no
gripe. 1t does not interfere in any
way with your regular business. hab-

So successful, so reliable and so
popular, q remedy has it's imitatOrs
naturally. But beware Of them. You
can easily detect the difference.
DOdson never niakes extravagant
statements. His I.ivcYTone has been
made from the first TO take the place
OF calomel. He says that it "livens
the liver overcoIhcs constipation
agrceably and makes you feel good.
If you are not satisfied completely
with Dodson's Liver Tone the Lau-

you run no risks to health or pocket

WHAT ABOUT IT.
Writer Says Negroes Already Have
Compulsory Education Law.

4
Compulsory Education Law.
Editor The Laurens Advertiser:
A negro school teacher in South
Carolina recently said that the white
people OF South Carolina passed Il
law in 1895 compelling the negroes
TO attend school when the constitu-
tional convention required that ne
gro be able to read and write or
that he hold property before he could
vote. He smiled and said that since
that time the negro children could
not be kept from going to school,
and that the negro schools were al
ways crowded, but now the white
people would be forced to pass a COM
pulsory education law to give the
white children the education they
would need to compete with the ne
gro.
SO we have in South Carolina a
compulsory law already for the ne
groes. Here is what Hon. James ID.
Sullivan chief OF compulsory attend
ancc division OF the State OF New
York, replies from Albany under date
Of May 2Sth, 1914 as to the effect
OF the compulsory attendance law in
Of it:

have been in attendance upon lawful
instruction annually since the law
went into effect would have hccn

LOSS OF INFLUENCE IN
 CHINA IS PRICE OF
 U. 5. FAVORS TO JAPAN
Former Minister ROCkhiII Says
 Decline of American Interests
 Has Been Marked Since POli-
 ticaI Affairs Were Neglected.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The policy of the United States toward China has resulted in the ascendency of Japan and the decline of American influence and trade, said w. w. Rockhill, for mer minister to China and now spe- cial advisor to President Yuan Shi- kai. in an address tonight to the Asiat- ic Institute The attitude of the present administration at Washing ton. Mr. Rockhil said, had occasioned "the profoundest regret of China and her friends"
 Mir. Rockhir asserted that from 1908 Japan had taken the place of the United States as guardian of the ''open door" in China, and become its chief exponent Japan renewed her alliance with Great Britain in 1905 pledging the maintenance of the "open door"
 Not content with these pledges of it's good faith in the policy of the open door in China" said MT. Rock hill. Japan in 19O7 pledged herself again to it in an agreement with France, and yet again in 1908 to the United States"
 From this point Mir. Rockhill traced the decline of American interests in China and criticized this countrys Eastern policy
 "There is absolutely no doubt" he said that in Southern Manchurla British and American trade have been steadily declining since that part oi China passed under Japanese control nor is there any doubt that it has been for a great part driven out by lJapanese competition supported by preferential customs and railway rates. shipping bounties, and success ml resistance by it's traders in Man ehuria to paying China's interna taxes.
