WAR ON BLIND TIGERS,
Proposed Law for Punishment
by Imprisonment instead of Fine

Representative Lilies of Orange.
burg mas already framed a bill to
be introduced in the next General
Assembly amending the law as re-
CARDS blind tigers, etc. The alter.
native of a fine for conviction is
abolished, and the bill proposes to
put liquor sellers on the gang in.
stead of allowing them to pay fine,
which comes in the nature of a
license. The bill is as follows:
To Amend Section S1l, Volume H.,
Criminal Code, 1912, in Reference
to Intoxicating Liquors.
Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly of the State of South Caro-.
lima:
Section l. That Section S11,
Volume II, Criminal Code. 1912, be
and the same is hereby stricken out,
and the following inserted in lieu
therefor to be known and designat-
ed Section 811.
Section 811. Any person who
violates any of the provisions of
Section 794 to 80%, inclusive, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof, shall be impris-
oned at hard labor for not less than
six months nor more than five years
and for any subsequent offense, up
on conviction, shall be imprisoned
for a term of not less than one year,
nor more than five years. Provid.
ed, That any Circuit Judge may, in
his discretion, suspend all of such
Imprisonment except three months
upon such terms and conditions as
he may see fit to impose, but in each
and every case any person convicted
of the violation of any of said sec
tions shall be required to serve at
least three months of the sentence
imposed upon him."
Section 2. That this act shall take
effect Immediately upon its approval
by the Governor, and all acts or
parts of acts inconsistent with this
act, be, and the same are hereby
repealed.

We'll Known Remedy
Relieves Chronic Case.
Important to Dispose Of Waste from
the Stomach With Regularity.

People frequently attribute to
failure of the digestive organs con-
ditions that are primarily due to in
active bowels, and apply remedies
that from their very nature are
more apt to aggravate than to re-
lieve the disorder.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to per-
form its allotted tasks and can usual.
ly be depended upon. To keep the
bowels in condition there is no more
effective remedy than the combina-
tion of simple laxative herbs known
as DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which
is sold in drug stores for fifty cents
a bottle.
DR. Caldwell has prescribed this
remedy in his practice for over a
quarter of a century and it is today
the standard household remedy in
thousands of homes. Mr. Thos De-
Loach, with the Department of the
Interior, Office of Indian Affairs. at
Washington, wrote DR. Caldwell re-

ition law which will become effec-
tive January l. This bill provides
punishment for blind tigers, and
that punishment is a chaingang
sentence pure and simple, without
the alternative of a fine. 1t should
be made law without delay by the
General Assembly, and it is gener-
ally hoped that it will be, for with a
chaingang sentence staring a man in
the face. especially white man, he
will more than likely think twice

provided by the present law, Of
paying a fine. A white m n has
natural horror of serving on the
gang" while he does not so much
mind paying fine when he knows
that he can keep right on at the ne
farious business and in short
while reimburse himself from its
profits. We believe the Williams
burg delegation is going to stand up
for just such law as is provided
for in the Lilies bill, and all liquor
sellers may we'll heed this warning.

War Upon Pain.

Pain is a visitor to every home
and usually it comes quite unex.
pectedly. But you are prepared for
every emergency if you keep small
bottle of Sloan's Liniment handy.
1t is the greatest painkiller ever dis
covered. Simply laid on the skin
no rubbing required-it drives the
pain away. 1t is really wonderful.
Mervin H Soister. Berkeley. Cal,
writes: Last Saturday, after tramp
ing around the Panama Exposition
with wet feet, l came home with my
neck so stiff that | couldn't turn. L
applied Sloan's Liniment freely and
went to bed. To my surprise, next
morning the stiffness had almost dis
appeared, four hours after the 'sec-
ond application | was good as new. "

Looking a Year Ahead.

Looking a ear Anedo'
We are face to face with the prob
lens of another year. 1t may
bring us much or little, as we
choose. The question is, what do
we choose? In the parlance of the
street, it is up to us
One thing we need is greater COM
mercial activity. But how are we
to promote it?
We need closer community OF
interests between the farmer and his
family and the town man and his
family. In many ways each is de-
pendent upon the good will of the
other, but few of us seem to realize
this.
Too many of us are strangers to
each other in this community,
where we should all be brothers and
dwell together in unity for the COM
mon good of all. !
If cooperation is good in CONNER
cial affairs it would be of equal
benefit in private and social life. It
would afford us a more intimate
knowledge of humanity and a broad
er perspective of life. and the re-
sultant spirit of good fellowship
would be felt in a thousand ways.
A year of getting together
would stamp a wonderful imprint
upon the heart, the soul and the
conscience of this community.
We can materially benefit this
town and our farming community
if we begin right nov to make it a
year of production and prosperity.
1t would be difficult to find one
among us who could not in some
manner increase the result Of his
labors during the coming year, and
with each of us persevering to this
end the years profits would mount
high in the financial column of local
achievement.
While considering our own indi-
vidual interests we might dwell also
upon those of the community in
which we dwell, for what is of value
to all of the people is of equal value
to us.
But we can without detriment, ur
Inconvenience, or expense remem-
bar that We are all neighbors, and
friends, and brothers, and so act
one to the other, to the end that
peace, harmony and happiness may
be our lot for the coming year.
