What is Kingstree going to do? The Andrews baseball team played the Kingstree team here last Sat- 1 urday afternoon. The local team was not in practice and made a poor showing from start to finish, losing the game by a score of 14 to 6. Our boys can play ball, but it requires practice to be successful and we hope they will get together and do a little team work. And still they come! News letter signed, "A Friend"?only that and nothing more. No name or local habitation.,Now,if we just knew the name of t^i friend and where he or she lives, we should be glad to publish what news there is in the letter.

We sympathize deeply with our :>ld friend, Major S M Askins of Lake City, in the loss of his store and its contents by fire Monday. Many's the time in by-gone days, svhen we were younger and felt better, we have spent several hours pleasantly "between trains," in that same building, being entertained by our genial, hospitable host. Major Askins is a polished gentleman; a guest or even a stranger within his gates is treated not with a perfunctory politeness, but with the attention and courtesy one extends to a friend. BOOSTER FESTIVAL To Start Id Thomas Opera House, Kiogstree, April 12 tor Three Days. One of the greatest attractions that has ever visited Kingstrae will be the Chautauqua or Booster festival, which opens here April 12 for three days,under the auspices of the Kingstree Board of Trade. The committee of business men of the town contracted some time ago with the Radcliffe Attractions Co, Inc. of Washington, D C, for this entertainment. These people will give a highly entertaining programme each afternoon and evening,changing daily. In addition to this, an effort is being made to have Governor Manning, Commissioner of Agriculture E J Watson and Mr C A Maull, advertising agent of the Atlantic Coast Line railway, deliver an address in the forenoon of each day. Other local features will be embraced in the programme. Season tickets, which admit to 14 attractions, are now on sale at $1.50 for adults and $1.00 for children and may be purchased at the stores of the Kingstree Drug: Co and Jacobs & Scott It An Old Negro's Throat Cat. An old negro man named Morgan Fulton, living with his son in the little house just back of the offices of Messrs Kelley & Hinds, was discovered early yesterday morning with his throat badly cut. It is not known how the cutting was done, although several theories have been adyanced. The old man says he does not know how it happened. Drs Wallace and Hemingway are attending him and report his condition as serious. Chief of Police Epps and Sheriff Graham believe that foul play has been committed and one negro woman has already been locked up to await further 'nvestigation. Sheriff Graham and Coroner Kinder are still busy on the case and late yesterday the latter had Alex Owens locked up on suspicion, as he was a frequent visitor at the Fulton home to see the old negro'9 stepdaughter, who is also in jail under suspicion in connection with the cutting. Other arrests are likely to follow. Later?Fulton died this afternoon of his wound. We are informed that a confession has been made as to the cutting,and a razor was turned over to Sheriff Graham with the confession.

I Tuesday and yesterday were days of vast importance to the ladies of Ki.igstree and vicinity. The spring miliinery openings were held at the stores of the Kingstree Dry Goods ('o and Mr S Marcus, and it was the time tor selecting a new hat. Every woman glories in a new hat, and judging from what we saw in these stores Tuesday, not a few of the m. .n'oers of the fair sex are now at ease in the sweet satisfaction of j having secured their Easter bonnets, j Besides the large number of town ladies attending these openings, a good many were noted from the surrounding country, and it seemed ! to us that unusual interest was manifested in the pretty, stylish little "top pieces." Miss Mabel Ridenour.atthe Kings' tree Dry Goods Go's store, had ar- i ranged a veritable beauty show of j hats for her friends and customers to gaze upon, while Miss Retha Bur- ( igess had vied with her in arranging 1 a display of fascinating dress goods and trimmings. The style of hats this season is still smaller than that of a year ago, i and the little "Tipperary," like the song, is making a great hit. Then there is the little poke, a return to the style that prevailed in the early i part of the nineteenth century. As is her usual custom, Mrs Marcus displayed a beautiful line of " stylish hats and dainty dress goods, . which attracted a large crowd of ladies throughout the opening days. In dress goods a more beautiful1 line of crepes, plain.printed and em-' broidered voiles, embroidered seed 1 and dash cloths has never been dis-1 played in Kingstree than those now i on sale. The display of shadow laces i is also very attractive. With Our Advertisers, Mr S Marcus invites the ladies* attention to his fine display of Easter hats. The Kingstree Hardware Co has , everything needed for the farm and . the garden. See ad. Send your prescriptions to the ? Kingstree Drug Co, where they will ! be promptly and accurately filled.

Much interest was manifested in the spelling match held at the Thomas opera house last Friday ; night under the auspices of the Civic league. Messrs W T Wilkins and P ; N Becton were the captains and; each selected a class of eight. Mr Wilkins won the booby prize, and j 1 justly so, because he did not spell a i | word right. M A Shuler, Esq, and i Miss Julia Cork, both in Mr Becton's class, were the last two on the floor j and when the word "bandana" was! given ou Miss Cork spelled it "ban-1 danna." Mr Shuler spelled the word j correct!* and won the prize?a box of candy?which he gracefully presented to Miss Cork.
