In sentencing a young man who
had committed n crime in Laurens
(? mty while under the influence of
whiskey, tho presiding Judge remark
ed that, inasmuch as the comity had
BOld the man whiskey, it seems hard
thai the county should hold mm re
sponsible for the crime. But. sup
I1 ting that the crime was done with
II pistol, it seems thai the pistol
should share the blame with the
liquor. One notable result of the
"prohibition wave" has been the com.
ph to, exoneration of the "gui!." it
Ik "honorably discharged," so to say.

stored to Health, by Vinol
"Our little daughter, six years of age,
after a ucvero attack of the. measles,
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pitifully thin, weak and emaciat
ed. She had no appetite, and her stom
ach was so weak it could not retain
food. She- lay in this condition for
Weeks, and nothing the doctor pre
scribed did a bit of good, und we wore
beginning to think she would never re
cover.
"At this time we commenced to give
her Vinol, and the effect was marvel
ous. The doctor was amazed nt her
progress, and when wo told him wo
were, giving her Vinol, ho replied, 'It
is a tine remedy, keep it up.' Wo did
so, and she recovered her health and
strength months beforo the doctor
thought she could." J. W. Flagg,
