Kings tree's SchooL The first session of the Kingstree High and Graded School, since its patrons voted an additional tax levy for the purpose of establishing a higher educational standard through the addition of an eleventh grade, will open Monday, September 11. It is not necessary for us to attempt to stress the importance of this addition to the curriculum of Kingstree's public school. Taxpayers showed their appreciation of it when they voted their approval of an extra levy. Pa-1 trons will realize, as highly valuable, the widened scope of instruction by a mere reference to the fact that chemical ana domestic sciences win be a part of the hiprh school course at the coming sessions, will doubt, less reap an inestimable benefit. And now, that our school is to start off on an enlarged scale, with bigger and better equipment, and an excellent corps of instructors, we think every citizen, trustee, teacher, patron and pupil should become an enthusiastic booster.cooperating in every way and in every undertaking that tends to a successful session, , t No school can attain to the high-; est degree of success without toe un- j qualified support of those interested. And right nere let us suggest that no one should feel,because they havn't a child in school, that they have !">/-? iniornjt 5r> if PvocD niti^on man 1JV 111 CVT 1 VTOb III IV.

This does not apply to Kingstree'5! school alone, but to every school and every community where there is a public school. It is hoped that the heads of homes in this good town of Kingstree, wherever possible, will show I 1 .-J.o? ...oil oo tiitrir nuspiLaiu> as ?ch ao men | patriotism by taking care of the j men who will be summoned here, next Tuesday to be sent to Camp Jackson. The war department has called upon the local board for 40 per cent of Williamsburg's quota under the selective draft act, and as stated in another column of this paper, these men will have to be provided with lodging one night before leaving for Columbia. The 40 per cent quota means that about 96 men will have to be provided with a place to sleep Tuesday night. Assist the local board by letting it knowhow rrany you can accommodate. Since the war started Uncle Sam ' has been mighty kind to the loud- j mouthed, short-brained, disloyal foreign-sympathizers in this country, j Under the Prussian military system j hundreds of men have been executed 1 for saying less. Hut the time is j coming when the country will awake i to the fact that we are at war and some of these "copperheads" will discover that treason is punishable , by death. Now is a good time for j the man who is not satisfied with 1 the way the President is running this nation's affairs to get out.? i IHUqh Herald. THOMAS E WATSON. His Strange Career and Its Lamentable j Conclusion. Just beyond the little town of Thomson, in a magnificent, old-fashioned Southern home, there lives a man whose very name should, by all rights, be blazing brip:htl> on the halls of time. Today this man is in the depths of despair, burdened with woes unex-: tinguishable, eating the bitter fruit1 ??AmA^cn onr] foofinnr t Vio rlracrc Vi HTUIUIOC ailVI lUOllli^ CUV Uic6w j of grief. To him, as it were, "When sorrows came, they came not single spies. "But in battalions." Born with an innate pride which lashed his ambition like the whip of a task master and spurred him on and on to heights which the average country youth would not dare to scale, this man cultivated himself, developed his talents,and made himself a man among men. He became as good a lawyer,in at least one particular branch of the profession, as there was in Georgia. He exhibited qualities of statesmanship seldom seen in these shallow times. With his pen he employed: "Choice words and measured phrases above the reach "Of ordinary men." His essays rank with those of Macauley and Lamb. His histories are the ablest ever written in this country?his 'Story of France' being a classic and his 'Napoleon' being the most comprehensive one-volume studv of the most famous man of history. His 'Jeffersonian' and 'Jackson,' his 'Mexico,' his 'The Hohenzollerns,' even his 'Roman Catholic Hierachry,' are works which prove him an historical writer of the highest order. His editorial expression burns with the fire of a Marat and the powerful eloquence of Brann or may soothe like the gentle tenderness of a woman. Forensically, he is even yet, with the possible exception of Judge Speer. the most superb orator in the South. Certain it is, he is without a peer in this State as a political stump speal er. Yet this man has? "Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, Fnllpn from his hicrh pstate. And weltering inhisownblood." However it may be said that? "'Twas no foemap's arms that felled him. "'Twas his own that struck the blow." Today, instead of being honored by his people, an inspiration to the youth of the land,his name,the proud boast of his countrymen, he is despised by decent-thinking citizens, practically proscribed by his govern ~ ment, a pariah among patriots. While others less gifted but more devoted to democracy are giving their unselfish services to their nation. this man is sowing the seeds of sedition. His writings are denied the mails, artd a prosecution for an offense akin to treason hangs heavy, heavy over his head.?-1 merints {(la.) r; /> .. i rmr^iirv/utf . Farm bookkeeping is just as necessary as any other kind. No farmer need employ a bookkeeper, of course, but he should keep his accounts in reasonable detail and know what each crop costs him and what what it brings in. The little labor involved in keeping things down in black and white isnothing compared with the value of the result, which often causes (probable changes in farm management.

PROMINENT MAN SAYS MONEY COULDNT BUY GOOD TANLAC DID For Him. "Couldn't Make Mistake"? "I Never Felt Better in My Life," Says Anderson?"A New Man Already. "M.nn.v not 1 inv the irood I Tanlac lias done meand I gladly recommend it for what it has done in my case," said Hon Archie R Anderson, ex-Sheriff of Harris county, Texas. Mr Anderson is unquestionably j not only one of the best known but also one of the most popular men that ever held office in Texas. After serving as a deputy sheriff of Harris county for 12 years he was elected chief of police of Houston. He had occupied this office only a short time when the sheriff of Harris county died. Mr Anderson's friends persuaded him to make the race for the unexpired term of Sheriff, to which he easily was elected. He was honored with re-election seven different times and served the people in this most impor tant office fifteen consecutive years. Four years ago Mr Anderson declined re-election and retired to private life. He cast his lot among the people of Houston and is a large property owner and foremost citizen of that city. "I was in a run down condition," continued Mr Anderson, "and had no appetite at all. I could hardly sleep at night and did not feel like getting up in the morning, I felt so tired. I had the worst form of indigestion, suffered all the time with gas on my stomach and was continually belching up undigested food. 1 had to take my coffee without sugar, for when I drank it with sugar I would belch for hours. I would bloat and swell up like I was poisoned and suffered with neuralgic pains of the worst sort, and nothing seemed to help me except in a tempoiary way. I just can't tell how I did suffer in the past four years and * 1- . ...i? r 1.., I until a iew weens ;in?? uncn i m.? gan taking Tanlac. "When I read the testimonials of some who had heen relieved of troubles like mine I felt I just couldn't make a mistake by taking Tanlac,! and it lias done even more for me than I had exjiected. I liegan to feel better after taking my first but- \ tie and I have just now started on j my third, and I'm a differet man j already. I sleep like a log now and eat just any and everything 1 want without thoslightest discomfort afterwards. 1 am glad to endorse j Tanlac because it does the work, and I am telling all my friends just what I'm telling you. I never felt I?etter in my life than 1 do since j I mi xvillini? for' you t<? publish niv statement andj let every suffering person who may | wish benefit by my experience with j this great medicine."
