J'li is is n quest ion ol praeti cal importance to nil classes ol <>ur people. In the first place we should look alter the people who come !o our city and do business with our people. Every day we have'good people anions us from Greeleyville. L ke City, Scranton, Cades, Lanes, Gourdins and from ther sections of the county. We should meet them cordially and give them such a reception thai iliev will be induced to come again. Our merchants should in vile them in their stores ami show t hemtheir goods. They should fry to make them feel at home. As opportunity offers they should extend to them courtesies and favors of every kind. Strangers and visitors should be given every attention possible. We should show them our splendid school building, our excellent cotton gins, our large lumber mills and other places of public interest. In this way people from abroad will be attracted to our place and will be induced to come and live with us. Our merchants should see to it that their stores have as beautiful fronts as nossible. If vou go to A W Florence, Darlington Manning; or Sumter you will be impressed with the attractiveness of their store fronts. In Kingstree there is room for improvement. Who will take the lead? Another way to build up our town is to talk it up. We don't want any croakers. We must be hopeful and inspire confidence in others. Don't sit down and complain; tell to the outside world what a progressive young city Kingstree is. Patronize the newspapers. Give them advertisments and you will be repaid.

The littleeleven-vear-old son of Alberl Tisdale, a won known and highly respected colored man who lives about four miles from Kings tree, across Black river, was kill ed by a mule last Sunday morning. The little boy must have suffered terribly before he was rendered unconscious. From what can be learned about the killing it seems that the boy took the mule out to graze, as he usually did, early Sunday morning. The animal had on a halter and to this was attached a long rope, by which the boy led" the mule into the woods. He had tied the end of the rope around his wrist, and this act cost him his life. The mule evidently became frightened and ran at a * A i 1, l.nn,A greui sjjccu tun uiu! numc. x uv boy's hand being tied to the rope he could not loosen himself and was dragged over the rough giound, through woods, over logs, brush, ect., striking trees and stumps, tor a distance of over two miles. Iiis body was horribly beaten and bruised, the bones being near'y all broken, When found lie was, of c uirse in an unconscious stale, from which he never recovered, dying within a short time. The rope broke when some dis- , tance from the home of the boy and the poor little fellow was left lying bleeding and helpless in the woods. The mule ran on home and when Tisdale saw it with the rope broken, he immediately went out to look lor his son, finding him as above stated. A physician was at once summoned, but it was too late. If you are a frienu t o your neighbor, your town and county do your trading with your own people. It' a man was seeking to ruin his neighbor and destroy his town, the first thing he would do would be to withdraw huisness. 1 While your trade would not be missed, and while you might be able to stand the expense and cheat that may be incident to your foolish act in going away from home, yet the act is unneighborly. Be true to your own best interests by trading with the people who make a specialty of trying to please this community. ?? Catarrh And Malaria. People who are or have been ,< affected by catarrh are most sub ject to chronic malaria. The explanation is thisiMalaria is a germ disease. Germs find thair way into the blood through the mucous membranes. If the mucous mem branes are healthy the germs can not enter blood. This is why some people do not get malaria But if the membranes are affected by catarrh, even slightly, the malaria germs find easy access into the blood. Pe ru na is the remedy. It not 1 only destroys malaria germs, but so restores the mucous membran es to health, that no more germs can find entrance. Pe-ru-na ix the most reliable remedy for chronic malaria. It cures by eradicating 1 the germs from Hie system. Send for Dr. Ilartman's latest book. Sent free by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Ohio.
