COLUMBIA. H. C. The legislature which convenes now In tt few weeks ought to go out of office and Into the primaries next Hummer with the best record for ho nr. practical, construct lv». and useful work In the hstorles of legls lntures In this state, for It Is a well hul unced body chosen at a time when the voters free from factionalism were In position to cl lose the best men, It has had a year’s •xporience; and io far .»» can he seen at this distance there are no distracting, time-consuming scraps for the members to get twisted up In. And iis there is no soul-trying flllhus tering In sight th# business of the f-es rJon might to he completed within .10 dnys, the members being now on a Straight salary basis Instead of the pay being based on a per diem limited to 4«) days. Liquor Question. As usual the biggest fight will he on the liquor question, but there Is a feel lug that this will he made shot» and swift. It Is to be expected that th' prohibitionists will renew their fight for a stateable act, and It Is believed that Representatives M. L. Smith, A <’ Hmlth, J. (J. Hi chard and J. P. Carey will reintroduce the bill which passed the house last session but which w i killed Inter for the compromise local op tlon bill but the outcome Is eXtremeh doubtful. Opinion Is about evenly dlvhl ed as to whether the dispensaries ean b« driven out of the six counties now r<* malnlng wet. Many of the local option advocates are counting on enough prohi bitions taking the position that this leg islature It morally bound to stand by the compromise measure of last session to make local option sale for one more year at least. Two elections. There are only two elections of im portance this sexton, ami both of the e can be disposed of In a brief joint ses sion. These will be for a state insurance commissioner and i state librarian. In surance Commissioner Me Mas ter has made one of tire surest as well as one of the most progressive state officials In office in a decade, and Miss La Horde on account of her efficiency and conscien tious discharge of duty retains her great popularity. The Indications now are that neither will be opposed. Coming over ns unfinished business from last year there are 320 bills, ah most all of them measures of a general nature, the local bills being rushed through In the closing days of the 1909 session. The house crtletnlar Is 28 pages long and embraces 320 bills and the sen ate calendar is 12 pages and carries Just 100 bills. All of these are second rend ing hills except one on each calendar— Mr Buss’ game fish bill In the senate and Senator McKolthatn's Joint resolu tlon In the house to amend the constitu tion with reference to municipal bonded indebtedness, which are on third reading. Of the senate second reading bills ten have passed the house and on the house calendar there are 20 second reading bills which have passed the house. Bdls Pending.

Good Ronds Movement. There are several good roads bills pending In tin* house, and with the general Increase In Interest of a prac tical sort in the subject during the past year It looks as If the legisla ture wll enact some needed legisla tion. The hill attracting most favor able attention Is that pending In the house by Representative Cosgrove of Charleston, providing for a state high way commission composed of a sala ried state highway commissioner, an assistant comlssloner and an advisory board consisting of the heads of the engineering departments of the state colleges. The commissioner is to supervise all permanent road Im provements, get out plans for new roads, and have supervision of all bridges costing SI,OOO or more. Mr. Crosson has a similar bill pend ing In the senate. Mr. 'robins has a bill providing for the Charleston drainage commission working the highway between Charleston and Summerville, and there Is a bill on the house calendar which has passed the senate providing for n bond Issue of SIOO,OOO in Horry county for good roads in that county. It will be re called that Spartanburg’s good roans bonds issue of $300,000 was defeated at the election by a narrow majority, and another bill may bo passed the coming session. Other Matters There are twenty insurance bills on the calendars, about an equal number touching practice In the courts and seeking to change the Jury law, sev eral game Ush and game bills, the usual number and nature of bills! seeking to reform the tax department of the state, one proposing a consti tutlonal amendment to provide for! biennial sessions of the legislature, several affecting hanks and cotton mills, Including one by Senator Car-1 Use prohibiting women and children working in cotton mills at night, sev eral pistol bills, three bills seeking to abolish the State Soldiers’ Home In Columbia; a bill by Senator Earle to authorise the attorney general to bring suit against the owners of the Augusta dam across the Savannah to compel the owners to comply' w'th the | terms of their grant; a bill by Mr. .Rucker, providing for the patrol ing of | the Savannah to protect fish; Mr. i Harmon's bill, which has passed th© | house but which got an unfavorable report In the senate outlawing all but safety matches. There are hut few Items on either | calendar approaching the nature of a freak bill. One l>y Senator Grlf tln would "prevent exposure for sale of dressed, meats without production ;of head and ears." Others out Of the ordinary hills are: Mr. Karla’s to provide houses of correction for fo mnlo convicts. Mr. Cantrell's to com- i pel support of wife and children hy i husband, Mr. Foster's making point-, Ing a pistol at another a misdemeanor. Mr. Hoar's giving public sup port 01 wife and children by husband, i hills doing away with capital pun ishment. several hills providing for certification of teachers. Compulsory Education. There are several hills pending on 1 the subject of compulsory education. ‘ none of which have any chance of I passage. Two state superintendents THE AUGUSTA HEEAID, AUGUSTA, GA. have recommended against compul sory education as conditions are not ripe for the change. It is not unlikely that this legisla ture will enact some legislation with : regard to fertilizers. Several bills are on the calendars touching this subject. The effort to get the state to compete with the trust by manu facturing fertilizers from a plant of its own operated by convict labor may be renewed. A Tainted Breath Highly Disagreed A Quick and Permanent Relief for This Trouble at a Small Expense. There are many thousands of peo ple who are the unfortunate posses sors of offensive and obnoxious breath, which has its origin in chronic nasal and throat catarrh, or an unhealthy condition of the stomach, or decay of the teeth, and when these persons realize they are the victims of such au undesirable possession, they fre quently feel constrained to remain off to themselves the greater part of the time, because they understand only too well how disagreeable it must bo to ottiers with whom they come in contact. For it is an undeniable fact that people will comment on, and criticise It he person whose breath Is foul and offensive. Very frequently we hear the comment, “So andso is a most agreeable companion an interesting talker, with a large fund of informa tion; is well-posted on world-history and the biographies of many celebri ties; can talk fluently on current top ics; is an accomplished musician, and literatenr; and would be a most de sirable addition to any social gather ing, except for the deplorable fact that his or her breath is so extremely offensive, that persons of refinement, j good breeding and delicate sensibili- I ties do not care to come Into contact with them." And very naturally, too. for an ob noxious breath taints the very atmos phere, and affects the persons sur rounding the affected one In a way w hich is positively nauseating. There Is no longer any excuse for a person, however foul and offensive their breath may be. of inflicting its ohnoxlousness upon the delicate nos trils and olfactory nerves of others. Charcoal, the great absorbent, Is the Ideal remedy for conditions de. scribed herein and In STUART'S CHARCOAL LOZENGES we wave the very best form In which charcoal may bo taken. These little lozenges ab sorb one hundred times their own volume in foul gases and tainted breaths, and besides deodorizing and purifying the breath and rendering it sweet and agreeable, they also act as antiseptics and cleansers of the stomach and Intestinal system, ab sorbing all offensive gases wltich may be present there, destroying dis ease germs, poisons and microbes, and putting a stop to such morbid : processes as fermentation and decom posltlva in eases of chronic dispepsia and Intestinal Indigestion. Ik,n't allow vourseif to be kept out of company of your friends because you may be so unfortunate as to have offensive breath from any cause. Use Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, and you ntttt rest assured that your trouble ! ■will be removed thoroughly and rap- I idly.

HARLEM, Ga —Mr. Zachrlans Kendrick was murdered near here Wednesday night by Hugh Jackson, a negro who haß been lodged in the jail at Appling. It as if Mr. Kendrick was called from his hou.«e and when he was near ing his store, which is only a short dis tance from the home he was assaulted by the negro. His skull w r as crushed and his bodj' badly bruised. A heavy sticK was apparently used. Mr. ICendrick lived long enough after the attack to tell the name of his assailant. SULLIVAN’S ISLAND SEA WALL COMPLETED CHARLESTON, S. C.—The sea wall which has been under course of construc tion on the front beach on Sulllvan’3 Island for two years, to defend the gov ernment reservation in case of severe storms, was declared today to have been now completed and the work stands as a sure protection for the government works and 1b further interesting for the reason that it has been completed about SIO,OOO within the estimated co3t and appropriation, costing the govern ment something over $200,000. ‘BOY MAYOR’ GOING ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE NEW YORK—Sherburn M. Becker, fa mous the country over as the “Boy Mayor’’ of Milwaukee, has purchased a seat on the New Y’ork Stock Exchange for $96,000 and will, in a short time, come to this city with his wife to make hl» home. The sale of the seat on the exchange was announced last week, but the name of the purchaser was not learn ed until today. From roping and branding dyed-in-the -wool party men in Milwaukee, Mr. Becker, who Is reputed to be a mil lionaire, will shortly encounter the bulls and bears of Wall street. Mr. Becker, in 1906, when thirty years old, was elected mayor of Milwaukee, defeating David S. Rose, a democrat, who had been repeatedly elected despite the opposition of the newspapers and republican and socialistic votes. Mr. Becker is a Harvard man. ■ LIGHT Is not an expense, but an advertisement. , MONEY Is therefore made and saved by installing GAS ARCS With the increase of 50 per cent, in candle power and a reduction of 30 CENTS In your lighting cost on the 1000 feet, means to you the greatest amount of illumination at the least expense.

Perhaps you don’t realize all the things the busy grocer must turn his hands to every day. If you did you certainly would never buy any more butter in bulk.

Special to The Herald. CHARLESTON, S. C—The dispensaries are doing a larger business new with the approach of the holidays. The dis* pensaries are all well stocked and are ready to meet the rush. The stricter watching and seizure of contraband goods are expected to still add to the sales of the legally established places. The business last month aggregated $55,279.16. The dispensaries began the month with a stock of $62,931.91 and closed the month with $24,254.50 worth of goods on the shelves. The operating expenses were $2,907.59 with a breakage of $39.95. As is usual with the coming of cold weather, the sale of beer falls off and that of the stronger drink increases. The sales of beer netted $15,641 and of other liquors $39,638. Dispenser T. H. O’BrTfcn continues to hold his record as the prem ier seller, with sales of $4,442.34 last month. MACON VOTED FOR IMPROVEMENT BONDS Special to The Herald. MACON, Ga.—All Macon Js jubilant over the victory that was ‘ gained at the polls Tuesday in the bond election for the voters showed that progressive ness is to be the watchword of the city and that civic improvements are to be had at any reasonable cost. Although the polls did not close down until 5 o’clock it was known before 3 that the election had carried and that the regis tered voters had decided to set apart the sum of $200,000 for improvements upon the streets and sewers of the city. The registered vote was 77S and the total number that vo*ed was 677. Off the 677 that voted 650 voted for paying bonds and but 16 voted against them. Of the 677 that voted 650 voted for sewer bonds and but 7 voted against them. 520 votes was necessary to carry either bond measure and in view of the fact that a bond election failed to carry last spring quite a signal triumph was gained. It required good work on the part of the men behind the bond movement to bring the registered voters out to the polls but they won the day and all Macon is rejoicing over the fact now.
