He was marriec twice, his first wife, whom he married in 1872, being a daughter ol the late Col J J Tisdale.

Affairs of Kingstree's Bank in SplenI did Condition?A New Direc| tor Chosen. 1 The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of Kingstree i was held in the office of the directors on January 1, and a report of j the bank's financial condition was j submitted. The affairs of the bank were found to be in excellent condition, the first year's business showing a net profit of 18J per cent It was voted to pay a dividend of 5 per cent to the stock-holders and to place the balance in the reserve fund to strenghten the resources of the bank. It was decided to increase the board of directors to five and Mr R H Kellehan was elected as the new director. The board of directors now stands as follows: Henry P Williams, John A Kelley, R D Rollins, D C Scott, and R H Kellehan. The directors and every one interested ' have just cause to feel proud of the splendid showing made by the bank at the close of the first year or its existence and under the present management it is safe to predict that this institution will continue to flourish and increase in strength. Every one in the county who has idle money should deposit it in our home bank and the gangs of burglars which seem to be operating through the country would soon fiiid their occupation gone so far as Williamsburg county is concerned. Besides a fire proof vault and a burglar proof safe, "to make assurance doubly sure" the bank carries a heavy burglar insurance. OUGHS AND COLDS IN* CHILDREN.

This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of b Swamp-Root is soon realized.
