HONORING THE SOLDIERS, Kingstree Gives Departing Fighters a Delightful Send-Off. Kingstree's Booster Club and the Women's Service League were host and hostess here Tuesday in most excellent style to a number of soldier boys, sons of Williamsburg county, who have been called by the federal government, and also to invited guests from Charleston, the latter consisting of about twenty-five bluejackets from the United States navy and a band of musicians. At noon patriotic speeches were made by the Rev Mr Harmon and the Hon P H Stoll from a platform erected for the occasion at the intersection of Main and Academy streets, where stands the Confederate monument erected to the memory of patriots from Williamsburg county who fell in the conflict of 1861-'65. Tuesday's ceremony marked a strikingly different spirit of patriotism here.inasmuch as the Stars and Stripes were raised and unfurled to the gentle breeze from a forty-foot pole while the assembled company cheered with enthusiastic love and patriotism. Mayor W R Scott welcomed the guest of honor and visitors in a happy little speech. The boys from the navy arrived on train No 8U and were escorted to tne Kellahan Hotel by Senator E C Epps. At noon they were entertrined with the quests of honor at an elegant dinner prepared by the good ladies of the town. A feature of the dinner was a barbecued beef, prepared in quarters by Mr J A Scott and Mr H A Miller. The navy boys engaged in a game of baseball in the afternoon on the fair ground diamond. Tfe game was well attended and apparently much enjoyed' In the evening they were again entertained at supper on the court house green. They spent the night as guests in tne homes of Kingstree residents and returned to Charleston yesterday morning. ' NOTICE!

Dr Robert Claude McClaude, a' popular young man and prominent ! dentist of this place,died at his home at 12:35 o'clock yesterday. The deceased was a son of Dr R J McCabe. | He was a promising young man, beloved by all who knew him, and his untimely death has cast a pall of gloom over the entire community. His death came as a result of poi sonous pus corpuscles in his blood contracted by contact with some patient's diseased teeth or gums. He became ill in December, and after local physicians had done everything they could for him, he was taken to I Charleston and treated by Dr Robert Wilson,Jr,and others eminent in their profession. Though his malady was pronounced incurable and his | case considered hopeless by physii cians, the young man never gave up I hope and fought for life till the last j few moments before passing into the ! great beyond. He possessed a brilj liant intellect and had studied every ' phase of his trouble almost minuteiy and believed that his determination i and strong will power would pull ! him through, and in this belief he j was always cheerful and planned for his future. He became worse Tuesday, and about 8io'clock yesterday morning his condition was critical and it was seen that the end was only a matter of a few hours. Dr WG Gamble was with him, and the young dentist ex^ plained every symptom and watched his own case. When told that there was no hope, that the end was near, he passed his wrist to the attending physician and requested him to feel again for the throb of his pulse,that he thought he . was getting better. Five minutes latet and he was no more. He died faintly murmuring n. Comkla Aiinld not lin. SUII1CIIJ1LI& LSI uauiuic VV/WAI?4 MW w? derstand. Dr Claude McCabe studied dentistry and graduated with honors from an Atlanta college, also pursuing a post-graduate course. With the exception of a few months in 1913 when he was located at Fayetteville, N C, he had practiced his profession here. In June, 1913, he married Miss Marian Gilland, youngest daughter of the late Thos M Gilland, Esq, of this place, and through his entire illness she watched over and nureed him with a tender, loving, cheerful sympathy that is given only to a devoted wife. Dr McCabe is survived by his widow and one bright little son, Claude, Jr, also a brother, John Mc Cabe of Michigan,- and one sister, Mrs E'M Duvall of Cheraw. The deceased was 30 years of age April 1. Dr McCabe was an esteemed member of Kingstree lodgp, No 46, A F M, and so lived that his life might impart a useful lesson to the living. Funeral service will take place at the home of the deceased this afternoon at 5 o'clock, followed by interment at the Williamsburg cemetery, Rev P S McChesney officiating. J E Tharpe Dead. Mr J E Tharpe, a well known citizen and farmer living east of Kingstree, died at his home Monday and was buried in the Williamsburg cemetery Tuesday afternoon.

Now at 50, after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Aa 1 have said a hundred times over, iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run down, instead of doslnfr themselves with habitforming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases, and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every y^ar from pneumonia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron In the blood. Iron Is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it. no matter how much or what you eat. your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. Tou don't get the st.ength out of it. and as & consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, Just like a'plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron.
