' The preliminary oratorical contest among the pupils of Kingstree High school was held at the school auditorium Monday night. Misses Rubie Thorn,Leora Gamble, Fannie Vause, Louise Epps and Pauline Gordon were the girl contestants. Each young lady acquitted herself in such ; a split. :id style that it was indeed j hard for the judges (this writer being one of them) to decide which one should represent their school in annual county contest tonight. After considerable deliberation, however. Misses Rubie Thorn and Leona Gamble were voted first and second places, respectively. The young men who took part in the contest were: Zeno Montgomery, McB McFadden, David Epps, Alex Blakeley and Hayward Brockington. Although it was remarked by one of fho indorse that- thp vmincrmpn Hid not measure up to the high standard of exeeilence set by the young ladies, it was unanimously conceded that they all did well, displaying coolness and ability that would well reflect credit upon older and more advanced students. Miss Rubie Thorn and Mr Zeno Montgomery will for the second time represent the Kingstree High school in the oratorical contest between the schools of the county, at the annual meet here tonight. Other literary and field day exercises will take place tomorrow. The atletic field has been put in apple-pie order for the carrying out of the athletic features of the prrvgramme, and a large gathering of school children from all over the county is expected to be present. Dr F H H Calhoun, director of ath letics at Clemson college, will be in charge of the field exercises, assisted by competent judges. Chronic Stomach Trouble Cared. There is nothing more discouraging than a chronic disorder of the stomach. Is it not surprising that many suffer for ?ears with such an ailment when a permanent cure is within their reach and may be had for a trifle?

ONLY A. I Watch Careful! !' t Starl Them Off Right with a Good Laxative and Then Watch Their Food Mothers are often unconsciously very careless about the diet of their children, forcing all to eat the same foods. The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence, avoid what 3eems to i constipate the child or to give it in- j digestion, and urge it to take more I of what is quickly digested. ' 1 1 M J 1 i. 1 I li me cnua snows a lenueucy u> i constipation it should immediately! be given a mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor any- j thing like sal's,pills, etc. What the child requires is simply a small dose j of the gentlest of medicines, such as Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which. | in the opinion of thousands of watchful mothers, is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to constipation. So many things can happen to a constipated child that care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness and many other annoyances that children should not have can usually be traced to con- j stipation. Many of America's foremost families are nrT without Syrup Pepsin, because one can never tell when some member of the family may need it, and all can use it. Thousands endorse it,among them Mrs M E Patten,Valley Junction, Iowa, who Interesting, If True. Mr Morgan J Rogers,Sr,who lives one mile east of Fork,claims to have invented a compressed air engine,although he will not show it yet to his most intimate friends. He says it has already worked successfully. The feature of the machine is to be selffeeding, that is, the motion of the engine draws in sufficient air to keep it going. Mr Rogers has been working on this for about five years and is very much pleased with his success. Those who know him as a machinist know that he is master of 'most any part of machinery, having always worked machinery from boyhood, and now operates a saw mill near Floydale. Surely this is going to be the greatest invention yet,and it is amusing to hear Mr Rogers talk so confidently that in a short space of time he will have stationary engines, lo-; comotives, automobiles, etc, running by compressed air, with no expense j whatever, except a little lubricating oil. i Beef and M Cattle are kept for two purposes; ductipn and for milk production.

Mrs Patten says that Syrup Pepsin has done wonders for her boy Ralph, who was constipated from birth but is now doing finely. Naturally she is enthusiastic about it and wants other mothers to use it. Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the latter size being bought by those who already know its vlaue, and it contains proportionately more. Everyone likes Syrup Pepsin, as it is very pleasant to the taste. It is also mild and non-griping and free from injurious ingredients. Families wishing to try a free sample bottle can obtain it postpaid by addressing UrWB uaiaweu, 4i? Washington St, Monticello, HI. A postal card with your name and address on it will do. Mr Rogers is in communication with the patent bureau and will leave in a few days for Washington, D C.to have his engine patented and get it on the market as soon as possible.?Dillon Herald Wilson Talks To Dying Boy. Washington, March 23: ? The President of the United States laid aside the cares of state for a short while today to cheer a pale, weak lad of twelve who was brought to the White House on a stretcher. Harry Winthrop Davis, of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, was the Presi dent's caller. He is paralyzed and his strength is slowly ebbing. He told the President how he had prayed to see him until his mother had arranged a meeting through Mrs Wilson. , The President's eyes were dimmed as he walked away after chatting for several minutes with the lad.
