If you on.y realized the terrible in
Jury you do yourself when you take
calomel, you'd never put another grain
in your mouth. It's rank poison.
Instead of calomel, use that splendid
guaranteed vegetable compound, Mar
tins Liver Medicine, the medicine that
is winning favor. It is excellent for
headache, constipation and kindred ills.

gripping. Causes no loss of time from

Jerusalem and its Changes.

When they built a 40-mile railroad
from Jerusalem to Joppa, and the
/ call of the conductor supplanted the
command of the camel driver, Je-
rusalem took on a modern air which
was the beginning of the end for
much of its picturesqueness and pecu-
Iiar religious significance.
y It has been the battle-ground OF
Hebrew, Christian and Mohammedan
-of Jew and Greek, of Roman and
Turk. Five times it has been taken
or retaken and twice destroyed. For
at least a thousand years-with brief
intervals has been in the hands OF
the Mohammedans.
And now, as Jerusalem has fallen
into the hands of the Allies, what is
going to happen?
There will probably be revival of
sscrusades,'' but they would be san
itary crusades. An attempt will be
made to secure better drinking water.
They will introduce better form OF
government. Jerusalem will no doubt
soon become a modern city in every
Respect.
Large numbers of Mohammedans
will move out and a considerable
number of Jews will move in-but 1t
probably will be a long time before
the Jews could control their ancient
capital-New York and the United
States have become the New Je-
rusalem'' to great hosts of forward
looking Jews.
The influence of Jerusalem in his
tory has been largely sentimental. 1t
is not likely that its capture by the
Allies will relieve much of this feel
; ing, nor will it influence to any un-
usual degree the action of the church.
Small bodies of religious enthusi-
asts may start movements with Je-
rusalem as their Mecca but the
great body of the church will be un-
affected-not because the church has
become Indifferent to sentiment and
religion, but because these are no
longer localized-the church is truly
irving to spread the fine old spirit of
Jerusalem throughout the entire
world,-Rev. Chas. Stetzler.

WOULD AVOID CONFUSION.
Relieves Adjutant Generals Office OF
Classification Of Registrants.


Generals office of the duties apper-
tanning to the classification of regis
trants under the new draft regula-
tions and has devolved them upon
Capt. Richard E. Carwile, of Colum-
bia, newly appointed manager of the
State headquarters, in an order just
issued to Gen. w. W. Moore, the
Adjutant General.
This action is taken, says the order
of Governor Manning, "in view OF the
confusion that might arise from a
: dual jurisdiction in matters apper-
tanning to the classification of regis
trants."
The mobilization of the men under
the first draft has been conducted by
Major John D. Frost, assistant Adju-
tant General, and he has accomplish
ed great task under pressure, and
has received a deal of commentator
for the manner in which he transact
ed on the manner in which the Adju-
times was irksome and arduous.
Major Faust made a thorough study
of the former regulations compiled
by the Office of the provost marshal
general, and he was better versed in
them than any man in South Caro-
lima, say military authorities. Reg
istration of the young men of South
Carolina between the ages of twenty
one and thirty-one was under the sup
ervision of John Elliott Puckette, ex-
ecutive secretary.
Will Report to Carwi1e.
Capt. Carwile, who was recently ap-
pointed by the President to his new
position, will have supervision of the
classification of registrants under the
new regulations, and the local boards
'Awill report to him instead of to the
Adjutant General, as they did during
the mobilization period. The order OF
the Governor is effective December
1st, and the order to the Adjutant
General instructs him to turn over all
matters that, under the regulations,
come through his Office to Capt. Car
vile by that date.
Major Frost would not discuss the
order from the Governor in the alb
sence of Adjutant General Moore,
who is out of the city at this time.
In verbal statement to the news
paper men on the meaning OF the or
der, Executive Secretary Puckette
said that the order in no way reflect
thought there should be a CEN
tant Generals Office had handled all
matters appertaining to the draft in
{ the past; that the Governors action
was based merely on the assumption
that there would be a conflict of au-
thority should two sources handle
the same matters, and, as Capt. Car
vile had been appointed to look after
the classification of registrants, ne
tionthought there should be a cen
tralization of duties. Mr.. Puckette
said that the Adjutant Generals s
Office was due nothing but praise for
ethe manner in which it handled the
mobilization and transportation OF
Z troops to Camp Jackson.

George E Hamilton, president of the
Capital Traction Company, has sent 40 all
stockholders the following letter Of greet
ings:
The report to the stockholders for the
year 1916 will show substantial gain In
receipts over 1915, and because of the fact
that this report will be made in the early
part OF 1917, We will not, at this time. enter
into any detailed communication, but
will content ourselves with an expression
of qualification at the progress IN valua-
ton proceedings now pending.
"On some OF the items of reproduction
costs the conclusions OF the engineers
Of the commission and OF the company
were so near together that an agree
ment as to these items, satisfactory both
to the company and to the commission,
was reached and expressed in an agree
ment Incorporated into the record OF the
hearing on December 70, 1916 While
this agreement covers items only in the
amount of SO, ,Ssg, 214, and leaves other
and large items to be included in the
cost Of reproduction as well as impor-
tant items and elements to be included
in the determination OF the present fai:
value Of the company's property, we find
in this condition OF agreement a crafty
ing evidence of the fairness OF the val
uation work done by both the, company
and the commission, and this strength
ems us in the belief heretofore expressed
that the stockholders need have no fear

the result Of the investigation now being
made"
