Representative Whites Letter.

We are at work in good earnest.
Clarendon's House members are doing
all in their power to bring about i'm.
proved conditions in their county.
1t is an awful fight in the House
to get any measure enacted, even local
matters are held up by some.
We took little ride out 10 the State
Park Thursday afternoon, and on Fri
day morning. we voted down the meas
ure creating Commission to sell the
Asylum property. because we didn't
believe in creating this Commission,
nor in forcing such large and valua-
BILE property on the market. 1t may be
that we will need this Asylum property
later.
The Manning Times and The Herald
both criticise me for my stand on the
Former bill, whicu prohibits white
people teaching in negro schools.
The State papers said that [ spoke
against the bill. but recorded me as
voting for it. I spoke in favor Of the
bill, and that so vigorously until the
champion fighters of the measure OBJ
jected to the force of my words, and,
of course. voted for the bill, and | am
glad the House passed the measure and
that all three of Clarendon's House
mem bers voted for it.
I am liable to make mistakes, but I
am ready 10 say that am not ashamed
of my stand on this Fortner bill. 1 am
against the bills to tighten up the pri-
mary They are all wrong.
There are three primary reform bills
one pushed by Steyenson, one by C. G.
Wyche, and one by Rittenberg.
The Primary Rules. as understand,
come to US from the Democratic Party,
of which party we are subjects sworn
to abide by its rules.
Can we enact statute law to govern
the primary and not at the same time
tie the party? My stand is if the pri-
mary rules are to be frightened up" Or
changed in any way, it is to be done BY
the Democratic Party itself.
I have made this stand on the floor
of the House, and I expect to hold to
this opinion until some one can show
me better.
Very respectfully,
BOB WHITE.

I suppose it was nice dinner, as cour-

masors very kindly invited the mem

the Ladies Committee the expense of a
hotel bill.

to Overcome it.
Nature does her best to fight consti-
patton and its evil effects. She fights
to the last atom of her. strength, but
usually she has to have assistance.
To avoid the sluggish brain and
weakened body, the sick headache,
coated tongue and billiousness, it is
unwise to use unpleasant calomel, a
medicine so strong that it leaves most
people sail knocked out" Don't take
chances with your health.
A great number of people have
learned that Dodson's Liver Tone I50c)
make one brighter, healtheier and
happier in a perfectly easy and natural
way, with no pain nor grippe and no bad
after-effects. Dickson's Drug Store
guarantee it without condition and will
refund purchase price if you are not
entirely satisfied. Dodson's Liver
Tone is an absolutely safe, pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid and wonder
full liver stimulant which takes the
place of calomel, but be sure you get

times he would find himself 40 miles
