CALOMIGL DYNAMITES

CalCmel salivates! It's mercury.
CalOmel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, Just go
to your druggist and get 50-cent
bottle Of D0dson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without maxi
ing you sick, you just go back and get
your money.
If Won take calomel to-day you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while If
YOU take Dodson's Liver Tone You
will wake up feeling great, full Of
ambition and ready for work or

safe to sive to children; they like it.

"l'or King and Country"
ATLANTA COnStitutiOn.l J

1t is a war OF men in millions, that
seem to leap to life as at word; it
is almost as if the command: Cup,
dead, and at them" has been literal
ly obcyed!
Millions killed, millions maimed
for life and worthless for war-work
and other trained millions ready to
keep the slaughter going!
Really, there is more cannon-fod-
der in Europe than the world had
rcckoned with. The statement that
100000 Teutons have recently been
massed on the eastern front is only
one of the side issues; wherever
there is need for a million men they
answer to roll call as if by magic.
But they are not all men--for the
war has made levies on the schools
OF Europe, and boys who should be
at their books are marching to the
winter trenches.
Pictures Of volunteers in England,
under the Derby plan, show boys
with school caps crowding to sign
"for king and country"

NEW FIRE POLICIES FOR S. G.
All New and Renewal Policies Will
30 on Prescribed Forms.

All insurance companies writing
fire insurance in South Carolina
(that is, licensed to do business in
the State) began on January l the
use OF a new fire insurance policy or
contract which has been made and
will hereafter be known as the
standard fire insurance policy of
the States Of North Carolina and
South Carolina, and which must be
used by all fire insurance agents writ
south Carolina.
This new policy, or contract, is in
many respects like the policies here
tofore written, yet there are material
changes, and it is very essential that
the insuring public take the time and
trouble to read the policy, or policies,
that will be issued them on and after
January /, 1916, in order that they
may know just what the policy or
contract calls for and what their duty
will be in case Of loss or damage to
tract. The change of policy or con-
tract was not III Rde at the suggestion
of or by request of any individual
company or companies, or Of the
southeastern Underwriters Associa-
ton, but upon the instructions of ESQ
1t is stately the South Carolina State
Insurance Commissioner, and the va
rious insurance companies are eX-
pected to comply with the Insurance
Commiss toner's instructions. Every
policy Of fire insurance issued in this
alike and uniform, and the various
companies and their respective agents
urge upon every insurer to read his
or her policy and see that it is cor
rectly written, for it is important that
the written portions Of all policies
covering the same property read cX-
actly alike. If they do not they
should be made uniform at once by
the agent SO writing the policy.
All policies written on or prior to
December 81, 1915, will remain Of
force and undisturbed as written,
and any assured holding such policy
or policies need not be disturbed or
worried about their having to be
changed. The new policies will apply
only in the writing or renewing of
policies written or expiring on or af-
ter the first day Of January, 1916.

Increased demonstrations are ur-

STATE BUDGET TOTALS $3,147,754
Will Exceed Estimausd Revenue I'm
der 7-Nlill Levy by Nearly Million.

Columbia, Jan. eff the General
Assembly grants all the requests ask
ed for by State institutions and de-
partments Of the government for the
coming year the appropriation will be
$3,147,754.3S, and it would take
levy Of 10 mills to raise this amount
of money. These figures were dis
closed here this afternoon when
Comptroller General Sawyer gave out
the badget as compiled by him from
requests and estimates sent in to his
office as required by law He will
lay the information before the ways
and means committee Of the House.
The proposed budget will exceed
the estimated revenue of the govern
ment under 7-mill levy nearly ST.
100000. The Comptroller General,
basing the levy on mills, estimates
the total revenue from this and all
sources available for 1916 at $780,
$50.
The ways and means committee
will begin work at once pruning this
budget. Both Chairman Lilies, Of that
committee, and Chairman Christen-
sen, Of the finance committee, are
working in cooperation with Cover
; nor Manning 10 hold down the APP
preparation, and they have declared
their intention of seeing to it that at
least 1t does not exceed a 7-mill levy.
The increase asked for comes large
ly from requests for S133,200 addi-
tional for public schools; SS2,917.Sh
Sd4,34G.46 increase by Winthrop.
and $45,S7l.56 by the Adjutant Gen
| eral.
The following was given out b.
the Comptroller General:
Revenue of State.
The revenue of the State for 1915
from the taxes estimated and based
upon the assessment of taxes as Of
January 1, 1915, amounting to
$310,907, ,101, at rate of mills on
the dollar, would raise $2,176,350.
We will add to this the estimated in
come from sources other than taxes,
| licenses, fees, insurance fees, inter-
est on deposits, etc.. which amounts
to $354,230.
We will then have a total estimat-
ed revenue for the ordinary expenses
OF 1916 amounting to $2,53O,5S0. I
have estimated the levy of mills
the same as in 1915. BY reference to
the appropriations asked by the va
rious institutions and departments,
amounting to $3,147,754.3S, it will
be noted that they will exceed the
estimated revenue Of the State under
a 7mill levy by $971 ,404. Therefore,
if all the appropriations are made as
| asked for it will require levy of 10
| mills on the dollar to raise them.
Before the taxes Of 1916 are availa-

State borrow from between $780,

II. CREDITS BILL INTRODUCED.
Representative Lever, of South Caro-
lima, to Offer Amendments.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The admins
tration rural credits bill was intro
duccd in the House to-day. 1t will
be introduced in the Senate to-mor-
row.
+ Government control Of the system
would be in Federal farm loan
board of five, appointed by the Presi-
dent, for ten years each. Loans would
he made to farmers by twelve or more
Federal land banks, each operating
in separate district with capital Of
not less than $500,000, which would
be taken by the government If not
privately subscribed
The land banks would loan to far
mers through local associations of
borrowers, called national farm loan
associations. Every borrower would
be required to take stock in the asso-
citation to the amount of per cent Of
his loan. A limit Of SO years would
be placed on loans, and borrowers
would be required to make small an
nual payments on principal.
Chairman Glass, of the banking
committee, asked consideration of a
resolution to extend for four months
the time in which the joint commit
tee on rural credits shall report on
personal credits. Objections to ex.
tension deferred action for the pres
ent.
Mob Sufficient, Says Lever.
Washington, Jan. 4.-"The final
report Of the full joint committee on
rural credits is not entirely satisfac-
tory to me- said Representative Le-
yer, member of the committee Sc
lected to work out plan Of rural
credits adapted to the needs Of this
country.
81 think the plan proposed Is far
step in advance of anything we have
in the way Of farm credit facilities
in this country at this time and for
that reason l shall support the bill
although it does not fully meet my
wishes and judgment. Two amend
ments which I offered, which would
make the measure absolutely certain
Of success from the beginning, were
voted down and these amendments /
shall Offer when the bill is under con-
sideration in the Hiuse. One amend
ment provides for limited guaran-
tee Of the payment out of funds in
the treasury Of the bonds and the ma
tured interest of such bonds issued by
the land banks created under the bill
when such banks are temporarily un-
| able, if they should ever be, to meet
these obligations. This proposition
will make the bonds from the sale of
which the farmer is to get his money
Oh farm mortgages at low rate of
interest and on long time payments
absolutely marketable and almost as
safe Investment as government
bonds.
'"The other amendment proposed
by me provides for the investment of
certain part Of postal savings de-
posits in these farm loan bonds, the
purpose being not only to put the OF
fetal seal Of approval upon these
bonds, but at the same time create
for them very large market.
81 regard both amendments as of
very great Importance to the immedi-
ate success Of the system and shall
press them vigorously when the bill
Is under consideration for final ap-
proval in the House. AS far as the
bill goes it is good. 1t fails to go
quite far enough"
