Certain articles Of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are choose, tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and ba-
nanas, also graham bread and whole
wheat bread promote movement of
the bowels. When the bowels arc bad
ly constipated. however, the sure way
is to take one or two Of Chamberlain s

Opposes Bond Issue.

The Greenville News, one of the fair
est dailies in the State had an editorial
headed with an old Roman adage
"Audi Alteram Postem" which being
translated means "Hear the other
side. Are you willing to hear the
other side? Now Mr.. Editor, | want
to say Il few words about the bond is
sue that is soon to be voted on by the
people of this county. l am opposed
to them, and will try to give some
reasons for my opposition. First, our
taxes are high enough now to be in
some instances burdensomc They
have been increasing for the last sew
cral years. In the last % years taxa
ton has increased nearly 100 per cent
and property valuation only 80 or 60
per cent. Let's see what some of
our townships are paying. Sullivan
pays about 32 in some school districts;
laurcns % 81; most Of the others
II 81 to y mills. But YOU say they
are getting something for it. Look at
the schools and the school houses. I
admit all that and would be the last
man to say anything against cduca-
ton OF our youth, if thought we werc
getting value received for our money.
100 much money spent in useless Of
hccs and too high salaries. All of the
salaries of our officers arc too high.
Did any man now in Office make over
$4,000 or $4,000 per month before get
tlhg the 0 &c? Now they arc getting
from $4,000 to $4,000 per month. Most
ct our schools are now taught by dear
little girls and boys" as judge Prince
once said. just out Of high school or
college and don't know no more ab0ut
managing children than, than. don't
know what, do YOU?
Another objection is that il is not
enough money TO do any good, only
ON the automobile highways. Most Of
the drivers of automobiles are in fay-
or OF bonds. or course they are. Just
like they now want all the road when
they arc out joy-riding. They have
