CAIIOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK.
Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and YOu Lose Il Days Work.

There's no reason why person
should take sickening, sal'vating cal
omel when so cents buys large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone--a perfect
substitute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel to-day
and you will feel weak, sick and nau-
seated tomorrow. Don't lose a days
work. Take a spoonful of Dodson' 8
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious
ness, constipation, sluggishness,
headache, coated tongue or sour sto-
mach. Your druggist says If you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts
better than horrible calomel your
money Is waiting for you.--Adv.

TAX PENALTY is POSTPONED.
Time Extended Till February First to
Pay Without Penalty.

County Treasurer r. H. Alexander
last Friday received notice from
Comptroller General Jones that the
time for paying taxes without penalty
had been extended to February 1st.
This will ease a great many taXpay-
ers, not a few having so far failed to
make payment during December. The
paying Of taxes continues, however,
though the big rush" incident to the
endeavor to get in before the original
date for putting on the penalty (Jan-
uary 1st) has ceased.
The order issued postponing the
date for adding the l per cent penalty
on January 1st is published IN full
elsewhere in this issue.
Up to this morning Treasurer Alex
ander has collected State, county and
special taxes TO the amount or $59,-
997.74. In addition to this about
$4,000 has Zen paid in to the diff
ferent banks OF the county, for which
receipts have not been issued. There
is yet to be collected by the Treasu-
rer taxes to the amount of about
$65, 900, showing that hardly half Of
the taxes Of this county have been
paid.
The income tax to be collected in
Oconee amounts to $202.93. Last
year this tax amounted to $134.07.

THREE MEN ARE NOW IN JAIL.
William Mcclure, Cal. Kay, Woodrow
Campbell, in Fair Play Case.

Sheriff John w. Davis now has un-
der his care three men, who are held
in connection with the killing OF seve-
raj negroes near Fair Play. The three
men are Magistrate William Nc
Clure, Calhoun Kay and Woodrow
Campbell, the latter having come to
Walhalla Monday evening, giving
himself up to Sheriff Davis. The She
riff had for some days been seeking
Campbell, but was unable to locate
hinIS though he knew just about
where he was. 1t is stated that Mr..
Campbell was dividing his time along
the road from his home to Starr, in
Anderson county, while Sheriff Davis
was seeking him at his home and an
other officer was keeping a watch at
the other end of the line. Finally
Sheriff Davis sent word TO Mr.. Camp
bell that he had just as well come iC
and give up; that he held the war
rant and intended serving 1t and ar
rest him sooner or later, and that his
continued moving about would only
serve to delay matters, both to his
(tEa Sheriff's) and Campbell's dis
comfort and inconvenience. When
Mr.i Campbell arrived at the jail he
smilingly informed Sheriff Davis that
he had gotten his message.
The preliminary hearing that was
to have been held last Monday, the
4th, has been postponed, we under
stand, until next Monday, January
11th. 1t is expected that some very
direct testimony will be brought out
at this hearing, which will be held by
Magistrate Eubanks, of the Oakway
section.

Exciting Time at HartwelI.
(HartWell, Ga. SUM-

(Hartwell, Ga, Sum-
Much excit' ment was manifested in
Sheriff Johns IN received a telegram
from the sheriff at Walhalla, S. c.,
stating that mob was on its way to
HartWell to take the negro Sprigg,
who was so severely beaten in the
lynching at Knox's Bridge on Sunday,
the goth Of December.
The negro died on the night before,
Sunday, 27th, in the jail here. 1t is
supposed that the party knew that he
would tell all about the occurrence,
and that they wanted to kill him so
that he could not testify against
them at the trial. Sprigg had already
made a sworn statement, which is
now in the hands of the proper au-
thorities, and will be brought out, of
course, In the trial later.
Sheriff Johnson promptly made ar
rangements for the mob, and Cover
nor Slaton ordered the. military COM
pany here to be in readiness.
For some reason the mob never put
in its appearance. The negro was
dead, anyway, and probably the men
found out that there was no use in
coming.
AT any rate, it was pretty exciting
here for several hours, and it was
good for all parties that nothing real
ly happened.

The handsome home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. e. j. Pruitt was burned here
Monday morning. 1t is supposed the
fire was caused by a defective stove
fuo, as the cook had just made fire
in the stove and had been sent to the
store. Mrs. Pruitt was alone and
was unaware of the fire until small

given, but before help could arrive
the fire was beyond control. Mr.
Pruitt wa away from home, having
gone on an early train to Mount Car

his farm there. 1t will be remem-
bcred that Mr.. and Mrs. Pruitt lost

tics for the section wherein the birth
or death occurs. Under the law no
burial or removal of a body will
be permitted without a permit issued
by one of the many registrars who
have been appointed in every county
in the State by the secretary Of the
State Board of Health.
The certificate of death, which
must be made to the registrar for n
permanent State record, is to include
the full name, SEX color, conjugal re-
lation, birthplace, name of father,

certificates registered by him during
the preceding month, and under the
law he is to receive the sum of 25
cents for each certificate so turned in
In addition to turning the original
certificates in to the State Registrar
the local registrars are required to
make copies OF all certificates, in rec
ord books furnished them by the
State Registrar, and this record book
is to be turned over to the county

The State Registrar Is required to
arrange, bind and permanently pre-
serve all the original certificates in
a systematic manner and maintain
comprehensive and continuous card
index OF all births and deaths regis
tered.
Under the new law it becomes a
misdemanor to bury or remove a
body without having a burial permit
issued by the registrar. Before is
suing the burial permit, the registrar
is required to examine carefully the
death certificate as filled out and to
satisfy himself as to any suspicion of
foul play, and to request ali investiga-
ton by the coroner, should he deem
this necessary.
Copies of the law, including regu-
lations of the State Board Of Health
which have been promulgated rela-
tive to its Enforcement, have been dis
tributed to the several registrars.

oUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY,, JANUARY 9, 1918.
ALCOHOL CAUSES TWO DEATHS
William KiZer and j. f. SweeZey Sue
Sumb to Poison Effects.

Two deaths under peculiar circum-
stances occurred in Walhalla last
week, that of William Kizer, who died
Thursday morning about 3 o'clock,
and that of J. f. Sweeney, who linger-
ed until about o'clock the following
morning, Friday, January 1st. Both
deaths were due to alcoholic poison
ing, due to the two men having been
for several days drinking a mixture
made Of wood alcohol and lemon. va
nilla and banana extracts. Their
condition for some days prior to their
deaths was said to have been pitiable.
Their physician, DR.. J. ]. Thode,
warned them that they were being
not only surely but rapidly poisoned
by reason of their folly in using this
mixture with one Of it's ingredients
deadly poison. But the men would
not heed the warning, rather making
light of it and joking with the physi-
clan with regard to his fears and
| their condition. When seen by DR..
ihouS, l"o pSlolS pSlHS CdllSu
to see Kizer when at the very thres-
| hold of death, the pupils of his eyes
| were so dilated as to leave the ap-
pearance Of a solid pupil surrounded
| by the white. This was noted by
the doctor and attention Of the un-
fortunate men called to it with a SOL
emn and plain-spoken warning, to
which there was no heed Both men
had been drinking of this combination
steadily for some days, and DR.. Thode
had been on other occasions called in
to wait on them when suffering from
the effects of their folly. He had
hoped that his continual warnings
would put stop to the practice, but
it seems that the poison had gotten
such hold on the men that they were
unable to resist it.
|, William Kizer was about 30 fsorl
% years Of age and lived with his
wife in Midway. He leaves a wife
Of a year to mourn his sad taking
away, also his father, a brother and
several sisters. He was a teamster
by occupation, and for some time had,
been employed by Ben Pierce.
Funeral services over the remains
of KiZer were conducted at the home
Friday afternoon by Rev. G. NJ. Will
cox, of the Presbyterian church, after
which the remains were inferred by
the side Of his mother in the Neville
burying ground, west of Walhalla.
j. F.. Sweezey was quite we'll known
here and elsewhere in the county. He
lived for number Of years in the
county, quite a while back, but left
here, working in North Carolina at
his trade, that of shoe and harness
maker, until year or two ago, when
he returned to Walhalla from Cow
pens, S. c., and established himself in
business. building up a good trade.
He was about 35 years Of age and
leaves a wife and several children, to
whom the sympathy Of many friends
Is extended. His funeral services
were conducted at Wolf Stake Bap-
tist cemetery, where the interment
took place on Saturday, by Rev. H.
A. Whitten. A short service was
conducted at the home by a Wesleyan
minister.

Serious Consequences
May Follow Firing by
French on u. S. Ships

Washington. p. c., Dec. lO.-The
State Department to-day still was
without official report of the action
of the French cruiser Descates i'm
holding up the American steamships
Coamo and Carolina. 1t was said that
If the Coamo was fired upon, the
gravity OF the situation was materially
increased. Inquiries for details have
been dispatched to Europe and Porto
Rico.
The action of holding up the Coamo
is contrary TO principles for which the
United States has contended and If
official reports corroborate press re-
ports the entire matter probably will
become the subject of diplomatic pro
test. The United States will base its
action upon the celebrated case of
Mason and Slidell. the Confederate
commissioners. who were removed
from a British ship during the Civil
War ,E
News dispatches were taken in off,
cial circles to mean that Great Britain
and France had engaged upon a policy
of clearing the seas of every enemy
subject. The recent seizure of the
steamship President Mitre lends
weight to this belief. The quoted state
ment of French lieutenant regarding
the present and future policy OF
France was read with interest,

of the Centre party. read in the name
of all the nonSocialist parties the fol-
lowing declaration:
I'VE, too, wish to end this war,

troops who. with our brave Austro-
Hungarian, Bulgarian and Turkish al
lies, are marching from success to sue

banners far into the enemy's lands
and have just destroyed the Serbian
army. We rely upon the unshakable
position of our armies in the East ana
in the West, defying all attacks by our
enemies which guarantees us and our
allies complete success in the war. We
look TO the unshakable economic and
financial might of our nation and coun-
try which has assured us our food and
armament sufficiently.
MAY our enemies swear themselves
anew to persistence i'll the war, we
await in complete unity, with calm de-
termination and confidence I'm God the
hour which VIII make possible peace
negotiations whereby the military eco
nomic, financial and political interests
of Germany will be permanently as

this purpose.
