THAT WORKS we'll

A superlative blood-purifying medi-
cine like Hoods Sarsaparilla, COM

Spring Medicine. :,
No other medicine possesses such
curative properties as these two re-
storatives working together.
They reach the impure, impover-
ished blood, and the rundown, ex-
hausted system. They awaken the
appetite, aid digestion, purify and
yitalize the blood, give renewed
strength to the whole body, produce
sound, natural sleep, and complete
restoration to good health,-the great
est of all earthly blessings. Two
dollars invested in these two medi-
cines will bring better results than
four dollars spent in any other course
of treatment on attendance.
1t is wise to get Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and Peptiron Pills today.

Jonesville, April 10.-I was remind

years ago the day. General R. E. Lee
surrendered his little shattered and
worn out army to General Grant at
Appomattox, A Va. The half century
since has slipped away with many
events very significant to me. All
these make up long life of troubles
and trials to which we are all heir

Friday, Saturday and Sunday were
real winter days here in the spring
time. There was white frost this
morning and garden truck suffered
much by it, but gardeners are late
with their vegetables, so there was
not so much for the frost to kill.

TWO QUART BILL
HAS NOT BEEN SIGNED.
Gallon a Month Law Stands for the
PreSent-Has Done Much Good.

"aiioh-d-hOntH Law STANDS Tor the
Present-Has Done Much Good.
Holding that the gallons month
law has made "a distinct advance for
prohibition" Gov. Manning yesterday
announced that he would not sign the
two-quarts month law at the present
time. 81 deem it best that it should
stand," said the governor, speaking of
the gallon-a-month measure, which
was passed by the 1915 legislature.
Gov. Manning has held conferences
with prohibition leaders from various
sections of the State concerning the
new liquor law. 1t was said yester-
day that he had reached the decision
after careful consideration of the
subject from various angles"
The statement by the governor fol-
lows:
1.-The gallon-a-month law will stand
as the law regulating the importation
of liquor into South Carolina for per,
sonal use. This was the law eYSfctstS
by the legislature at the sam 'budfIfe
as the referendum act ordering the
prohibition election, and was in force
when the election was held. This law
has made distinct advance for pro-
hibition by limiting the amount of
liquor used, and I deem it best that it
should stand, unless something oc-
ours to change the situation. To re-
tain the gallon-a-month law is to keen
faith with the people, and, in my
Judgment, will go long way to pro-
mote temperance, SO long as it is
rigidly enforced.
Il shall continue to direct vigor-
Gus enforcement. / will not, there
fore, at this time, sign the two quarts
month act, but will hold same in
allegiance pending any change in con-
ditions that may occur."-The State

When a remedy has stood the test
of critical analysis and strong compe-

and establishes itself as the indispen-

DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has
been on the market since 1889, it's use
being gradually extended until now
1T is generally regarded by druggists
as the staple family laxative. 1t is a

warehouse, siding and city street till
it reached the great commercial high
way, the railroad; and, again, at the
end of the railroad haul, had to reach
the consumer over warehouse siding,
city street and country road to the re-
motest farmer in the community. The
railroad is the intermediate CONNER
clai highway over which all of the
commercial sap of the nation is haul
ed. 1t serves in the distribution of
this commercial sap the same func-
tlonS as the arterial blood vessels in
the circulation of the blood. Com
munlty roads, feeders to the railroad
and local distributors, serve in the ca
pacity of the capillary blood vessels,
reaching into the remote tissue and
hbres of the human frame, while the
lnterboreugh highways may not in
aptly be compared to the veins

while the same amount of freight

The authorities place the average
haul from farm to shipping point at
five and one-half miles. What the

whether we can afford not to nav
