In remitting checks or money orders sake payable to THE COUNTY RECORD The Chautauqua. In a few days the Chautauqua will be with us again. It has been with the keenest anticipation that we f have looked forward to the return of this cultured group of people, traveling through the Southland and i r?r?Q?infiner thp nlpflnpst and most whojesome kind of educational enter< tainment for the masses. The ChaurV. I tauoua has well been called the "University of the People," giyine to the people that which goes to perpetuate its motto: "Better Liv- i ing and a Better Life." It was in 1874 that B;shop John * i H Vincent, of the M E church gathered about him some of the clergy ;and ardent laymen, and went camping on the shores of one of the most beautiful lakes in New York, Lake Chautauqua, and discussed wa3S and ? ? .1 c . i means ror me iurmerance 01 ine ^ work of the church. Feature after i feature was introduced until today each summer sees one of the greati est gatherings in this country at this place, listening to some of the world's greatest artists in every field of hu- ' man endeavor. It has now outgrown its religious order and today i at is non-sectarian, bringing together all classes and creeds, attracting the masses and elevating them as noth- < ing ever before has done in this ( country. j A few years later some of the 1 wealthy men of this country became interested and gave financial backing to companies of artists and lecturers who appeared at Lake Chautauqua in order that they might go out into the country and reach the ! people who were too far from the ' lake to come to it, and to give them , those things which leave something ( - -- -^rth while after the artists and . * 'lecturers had gone. At first these : men lost considerable money, as the people did not seem to appreciate the work, but soon they responded and today the Chautauqua is driving I *?ram the field those cheaper entertainments which are not only frothy but harmful. Within this present year more than four thousand Chautauquas, with a total attendance of rmore than 8,000.000 people, have 'been held. The movement in the Middle Western States has been the >strongest? but within the last two ,years the movement has begun to get a foothold in the Southern States. Under the Radrliflfe management more than six hundred ^ Chautauquas have been organized in the South Atlantic States within the past year. Last year the Chautauqua was en jojed by every one who attended, each individual feeling that hej 1 i was a iittle better off by comine, < and hoping for its return. , i = "Back to the farm" is very good, but "stay there," is much better. ] To insure a welcome always take your bank account with you on a s trip. 1 \i r If you know of a good item of news be sure there are others who would like to know it. Tell us. Don't drop a nickle in the collection basket Sunday and then feel that old St Peter should pass you through the Pearly Gates. Peter is no cheap guy. It now looks as if Rumania intends to enter the European conflict on the side of the Allies. Greece has assumed a smoother tone and she may yet slide in on the side of the Entente. The man of means is usually content to draw away on a 25-cent pipe while many a worthless cuss puffs daintily from a 5-cent cigar or a scented Turkish cigarette that has been charged to his dad. Chicago has produced another literary. genius in the person of one t Charles Werner, who thusly de- * ? scribes his wife in his bill for divorce: "She is an uncultured woman of the shallow, hair brained, pin head, c Calamity Jane type; large, muscular, 1 bony and beefy; she is some athlete, having the activities of a Corbett, the ferocious temper of a tiger, the < strength of an ox, and the reason c of an ass." a ? t We admire a man who speaks well of his town, and his neighbors, and ^ his friends, and who is slow to speak jill of other people. We of today * c are so prone to sDeak hastily and without thought of consequences] that it is a relief to find one occas- c ionally who considers the effect of his words before they are uttered. Such men are more than an asset to any town. How many has Kingstree of this type? James Nicholson Robson, a vet- ' eran merchant of Charleston, who was long identified with the progress of that city, died about midnight Sunday at his residence there in the 89th year of his age.

The citizens of Florence are working hard in the interest of the event, and an exceptionally good fair will be held. " c Two Hundred and Fifty Stories. And every story a good one. They are entertaining, but that is not all r you can say about them. You know there is hardly a periodical published that is not full of time-wasting stories, but not a single story in The Youth's Companion is a time waster. Take the stories of C A \ Stephens. It would be hard to pick r out one from which you cannot learn f something useful and yet enter- s taining. r Some of The Companion stories i refresh your knowledge of geogra- J phy; some tell you the mysteries of ? chemistry, some reveal the secrets of forestry and of general farming, s They cover a wide range. They are 1 chosen with an eye to the possible 1 likings of every member of a Com- ( nnninn fflmilv?-stnrips of vifiTOrOUS action and stirring adventure for boys, stories of college life and do- \ mestic vicissitudes for girls, stories that range all the way from sheer drollery to deep seriousness for men and women. There are no stories quite like those in The Companion. 1 If you are not familiar with The j Companion of today, let us send you sample copies and the Forecast for ' 1916.

BT THE TANLAC ROUTE. Former Seaboard Locomotive Drivei Llvlog at Brooklaod Tells Interesting Story ol His Troubles. Of the many glowing testimonials that have been given of the bene icial results accruing from a treatment of Tanlac, there is none strong ?r than that of H E Pierce of Brook and, just across the Congaree rivei from Columbia. Mr Pierce is well inown in Columbia, particular!} imonar the railroad men of that city For a number of years he was a lO' lomotive engineer in the empmy ol :he Seaboard Air Line railroad. He resigned from "main line" some time ago and accepted the positior as locomotive driver of the Guignarc Brick Works that he might be neai his family. Mr Pearce was in very poor health ind he almost despaired of being again brought to the normal, wher ie read the advertisement of Tanlae and saw what good the Premiei Preparation was doing other people. He decided to try it. The results that Mr Pierce secured best can be iescribed in his own language giver n the following statement to T W jalyon, State agent for Taniac: "I have been suffering from some form of stomach trouble for the past ive or six years. Everything 1 ate seemed to disagree with me and rave me a feeling of fullness in my stomach, with resultant gas and sour belching. I had tried almost ?very form of proprietary medicine :hat has ever been recommended, jut I obtained very little relief from ;hem. , "The first dose 1 took of Taniac rave me almost instant relief and nade me feel like a new man. Since ;hat time my improvement has beer iteady and sure and I am now get:ing along nicely, although I have ;aken only one bottle. I feel sure ;hat I have found the right medi;ine at last. , "I recommend Tanlac, which is veil named the 'Master Medicine,' o anyone that has suffered as I lave done." Tanlac. the Master Medicine, is told in Kingstree by the Kingstree Drug Co. Morals with men are largely a natter of temptation, inclination tnd opportunity. Morals are al-o a natter of mood.
