A LEOPARD CANNOT
CHANGE IT'S SPOTS.
Mr.. DodSon, tho oliver Tone" Man,
Tells tho Trcnchcry OF Cnlomcl.

Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It's mercury;
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous.
1t crashes into sour bile like dyn;,-
mite, cramping and sickening vow.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
W he put into your system.
When o feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out, and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel,, just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely Vegetable and pleasant to
take and Is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and cannot %salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or
a wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver
Tone, which straightens you right up
and makes you feel fine. Give it to
the children, because 1t is perfectly
harmless and doesn't gripe.-adv.

LOOK BEFORE BUYING UP TEXAS
OIL StOcks-Many of These offered
Arc Totally Worthless.

Columbia, June 3.-Texas and It's
surrounding territory Is being over
run and MIXED dry by promoters,
especially Of oil we'll stock schemes;
and 1t will pay South Carolinians to
invest in none Of the stock Of such
concerns unless the agents Of the
promotion schemes can produce q
State license.
These are the two outstanding
things said by w. A. McSwain, State
Insurance Commissioner, to-day, on
his return to Columbia from a trip
to Texas, where he went to get first
hand information regarding the oil
well developments which are sending
to this State a flood OF stock sales
men and promoters"
The main purpose Mr.. McSwain
had in going to Texas a to cline
up a number Of correspondents with
whom to communicate regarding the
concerns that apply for licenses to
sell their stock in this State. He
states that he made arrangements
with a number Of prominent citizens,
and in the future, when stock pro-
motors ask for licenses to sell in this
State, information can easily be Sc
cured regarding their financial
strength and their business standing.
Mr.. McSwain stated that Texas is
over-worked by oil we'll promoters.
Wells r being bored in all parts Of
the State, and most OF these will
never produce oil. He says that he
found practically no wells spout
ing" oil, as is claimed by so many
concerns. More money Is spent in
boring for Oil than is ever made on
successful wells, Mr.. McSwain be-
lieves.
Facts ascertained by the Insur-
ance Commissioner on his Texas trip
will probably result in his refusing
to license certain companies hat are
very DESTROYS of selling their stock
in this State.
my advice to the people Of the
State,' said the Insurance Commits
sioner, "is not to invest their saw
ings in II oil wells or other pro-
motion schemes unless the agents of
such can produce licenses
issued by the Insurance Department.
Other such agents are operating in
violation Of the law, and the fact
that they have no licenses Is often
proof that they are not safe invest
ments."

and not the Americans.

voiced "the earnest hope and the wish
OF every patriotic American that ppace
between the two countries may continue
perpetually."
But the world" said he. "has only

that may result, unfortunately, in grave

The speaker said many public Of
hcials in Japan" as we'll as political
agitators, had tried TO make the world
believe that opposition to the i'm
migration of Japanese laborers into the
United States was based upon racial
prejudice
Denies Racial Prejudice
I'VE of the Pacific coast deny that
this is the case he declared. "No
objection has ever been made to the
admission into this country of japanese
professional men, Of Japanese fnan
"icrs, or japanese religious teachers or
leaders or bonafde japanese merchants
or japanese students or Japanese tray
clers The sole objection Is to the
laboring classes.
Whether the undesirabes be farmer
laborcrs, skilled mechanics, or unskillcd
coolies, ! contend that the objection is
purely an economic one. japan her
self is doing to the laborers of China
and Korea what she claims Is racial
hate or prejudice when done by US to
japanese laborers.
Representative Kahn called attention
to newspaper dispatches quoting Count
Okuma. head of the japanese peace so =
Ciety, as having said that IL the United
States restricted japanese immigration
by statute instead of by voluntary ac-
ton Of Japan. the later rather than
suffer such prejudice to her prestige
must resort to force.
"Sur"ly," Mr.. Kahn said. "the head
of the peace society of Japan does not
advocate the taking up of arms against
che United States as indicated in the
newspaper articles"
Political Demagogues In Japan
From his reading of japanese history
Representative Kahn said he was
sometimes inclined TO believe that
"thcrc arc many more political agita-
tors and dCmngOgucs on the other side
Of the Pacific than we can possibly find
in our own country
"Happily," he continued, I'VE in
America are not worked into frenzy
Of excitement by purely political hap
penings.'
Mr.. Kahn recalled the recent Incl
dent at Tien Tsin. where American
soldiers had been found in the Japanese
police station by the American consul
general wounded and beaten when ''thc
japanese officers denied any knowledge
of their whereabouts. This incident
he continued, was in fair way Of ami
cable adjustment between the govern
mpnts adding:
1.-The American people have never
become excited over the affair. You
hear no threat of war on the part Of
the American statesmen, politicians or
even demagogucs.
PuhliCists and authors reported, the
California representative said. that
japan was making every effort to unite

leader Of such n race amalgamation
that she is striving in every way to ac-
