Id HULL, VOID
Supreme Court Declares Oper
ation of Cotton Storing Plan
by State Unconstitutional.
Columbia, S. C.—That the act passed
It the last session of the legislature en
litled "an act to create and operate a
Itate warehouse system for storing
iotton and other commodities,” which
tarried with it an appropriation of
>250,000 for putting its provision in
to effect, violates the constitution o£
South Carolina, is the position taken
Dy the supreme court in a decision
handed down this morning. At the
time of its passage its opponents con
tended it was unconstitutional, but it
passed and received the signature of
the governor. The case was carried to
the supreme court by the attorney gen
eral in order that the matter might be
definitely settled.
The act was one of the most far
reaching piece? of legislation passed at
the 1912 session. It provided that it
•hall be the duty of the state ware
house commission to provide by pur
chase, lease or otherwise, a system of
warehouses at the most eligible sites
In this rtate, capable of storing not less
than 250,000 bales of cotton.
The commission had been authorised
by the act to issue coupon bonds to the
(mount of $250,000 to carry out the
provisions of the act. The supreme
.'ourt holds that the act would appro
priate public revenues to private pur
poses, and that it also provides for an
Issue of bonds and an increase of the
public debt without first submitting
the question of the creation of such
new debt to the qualified electors of this
state at a general election, in violation
of section 2, article in of the constitu
tion. It is understood that the Georgia
legislature now has before it for con
sideration a similar measure.

ELEPHANT NEAR! v 7 r U ] s HiS FRIEND
wO&r " Jjf
New York.—Walter Thuman is slowly recovering from the serious in
juries he sustained when, one of his best friends became so aggravated by
the intense heat as to endeavor to kill Thuman. Thuman is in charge of
the elephant at the famous New York Zoological Gardons. He entered the
cage of Gunda, his particular pet elephant, for the purpose of feeding tbo
big animal. But no sooner had l\s entered the gate than Gunda turned
upon him knocking him down with the great trunk, and lunging at the
thoroughly frightened Thuman with his long tusks. One of the tusks
pecntrateid the keeper's right thigh, but before Gunda could renew the at
tack, several other keepers came to the rescue, and backed the elephant
into a corner by jajbbing him with pitchforks, until the injured keeper had
been removed from the cage. For this outburst of outlawry Gunda will
be forced to spend the remainder of his life, as he is now placed in the
“dangerous or man killing" class.
SITUATION BE PECULIAR
IN RICHMOND IF COUNTY
SOLICITORS BILL MADE LAW
Will Abolish City and Superior Court Solicitors arid Success
ful Candidates In Primary of Aug. 21, Will Be Nominees
For Offices Which Did Not Exist.
® The bill 1 creating county solicitors
tU the state of Georgia and abolishing
the offices of solicitors for the supe
rior courts of certain circuits and apa
the offices of city court solicitors in
bounties having certain populations,
which failed to pass the House of rep
resentatives by a. two-thirds majority,
is being reconsidered. Friends of the
bill say It will pass by the requisite
two-thirds majority when next voted
upon; that the senate will also pass
it by the required majority, and the
governor will sign it. Whether this is
true or not remains to bo seen but
it is certain to be voted upon again
in the house.
In regard to Richmond county a pe
culiar and. in fact, unique situation
would arise. There are three candl
dates for solicitor of the city court
and three candidates for solicitor ol
the superior court. The primary is to
be held on August 21st. If the bill
passes the legislature by two-thirds
majority and is signed by the gov
ernor then it will have to be referred
to the people in the general election
next October since it will require a
constitutional amendment to make the
change.
Timely Aid
When one’s digestion
is “out of fix” a good
straightforward test of
food is worth much.
Many who have suf
fered from stomach
trouble have discovered
that a dish of
Grape-Nuts
and cream
is not only easily di
gested, but actually as
sists in the digestion of
other food.
The power of proper
food the kind the
stomach will digest, and
at the same time yields
nourishment—is almost
unlimited.
“There’s a Reason ”
Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.
If the people of Georgia ratify the
change by a two-thirds vote at the
polls then a. special election will have
to he called and a solicitor of the
county elected.
The successful candidate for city
court solicitor in the primary of Au
gust 21st will find himself nominated
for an office which has been abolish
ed and the same will he true of the
successful aspirant for the solicitor
ship of the superior court. It might
he. possible Ihnt there would he s'x
candidates in the race for county so
licitor for Messrs. Peebles, Franklin
and Pierce might turn their attention
to the new office when the one they
were seeking had been abolished, while
the three candidates for solicitor of
the city court would probably feel
that they, too, should be solicitor for
the county!
The hill which will soon be voted on
again provides that the county solici
tor handle ali felony and misdemeanor
cases and that he he paid a salary
amounting to SIOO for every 1,000 pop
ulation In the county.
THE BEST TEACHER
Experience Still Holds The Palm
For real practical reliability and
something to swear by, experience
plain old experience—is able to carry
a, big load yet without getting sway
backed.
A So. Dak. w'oman found some
things about food from Old Experience
a good, reliable teacher.
She writes:
“I think I have used almost every
breakfast food manufactured, but none
equal Grape-Nuts in my estimation.
I was greatly bothered with weak
stomach and Indigestion, with form
ation of gas after eating, and tried
many remedies for it but did not find
relief.
“Then I decided I must diet and see
if I could overcome the difficulty that
way. -My choice of food was Grape-
Nuts because the doctor told me I
could not digest starchy food.
“It has been a great benefit to me
for I feel like a different person since
I began to use it. It is wonderful to
me, how strong my nerves have be
come. I advise everyone to try it, for
experience is the best teacher.
"If you have any stomach trouble—
can’t digest, your food, use Grape-Nuts
food for breakfast at least, arid you
won’t be able to praise it enough when
you see how different you feel." Name
