THE PINE TKKK A handful of mos* from the woodside, Dappled with gold and brown*? .1 j?i I borrowed, to gladden my chum. ber In the heart of the dusty town; And here, in the flickering shadows Traced by my window-vine, It has nursed into life and' freshl nes# The germ of a giant pine. 1 turn from the cool-bosomed lilies Dewey the whole day through? mp From the flaunting torches of tulips Flame-like in form und hue1? From the gorgeous geraniums glory, From the trellis where roqes twine, To welcome this sturdy stranger, This poor little ulien pine.' U" ( Out of this feeble ^seedling What woridt'YTfThe years may bring! Its stein may defy the temper), Its limbs in the whirlwind sing? For age, which to me comes laden With weakness and sure decline, Will add only growth and beauty And strength to this tiny pine. ..... ... Hark! it is an airy fancy? The roar of its storm-wrung limbs; Then the sigh of its tender tassels To the twilight zephyr-hymns; The rain on its thick aoft greenness: When the spring skies weep and shine? Oh, many and mighty the voices Haunting this tiny pine! Shops, and the jar of machinery, Mills, and the shudder of wheels? Wharves, and bustle of commerce, Ships, and the rushing of keels? Towns, and the hurry of living, The murmur which none may define, I hear and see as I listen Watching this tiny pinp. i I will tuke it again to the woodside, That, safe with its kindred there Its evergreen arms may broaden Yearly more strong and fair; And long after weeds and brambles Grow over this head of mine, The wild birds will sing and warble In the boughs of my grateful pine. ?

"I was passing through a critical time in my life, and I suffered a great \\ deal. I was not at all V strong, and my nerves got all upset, I had V hot flashes, and some- iv i> times would get suddenly so Y H faint I could not stand up My A thead would whirl, and I could V not soo a thing. I would have to o Ilio down for hours at a timo. f \ "I improved so much after I C> had taken Cardui for a while. I J J continued the medicine for some < months, until I had passed the ' critical period. Since then, I < have given Cardui to my five \ daught"*s.

Constipation. Indication and BUI- ' Movement for Armory for Kershaw Guards Adjutant and Inspector General Jama* C. Dozier issued a cell for a meeting of citizens at the court house here Wednesday evening, May 8th, that he might lay before the community the necessity for an armory for the local military company as a' requisite of the war department for the continuing of the organization in this city. He came over from Columbia to Camden, accompanied by LieutenantColonel John F. Moore, U. S. property arid disbursing officer of his office, and Major Chas. W. Dyer, U. S. army officer, senior instructor for the Na tionnl Guard of South Carolina. Quite a representative body answered the invitation of General Dozier to meet with him. Among them were Newton Keily, member of the house from Kershaw county; C. P. DuBose, mayor of Camden; H. G. Carrison, Jr., chairman county board of directors; Henry Savage, Jr., president of Camden and Kershaw County chamber of commerce; -Harry Porte-, vice-president young men's business league; R. M. Kennedy, Jr., representing the American Legion; Dr. S. C. Zemp, for many years identified with the military company as former captain; A. M. McLeod, former captain; Captain Brevard Boy kin, the present captain; Lieutenant C. H. Yates, Jr., I. C. Hough, Jno. T. Nettles, J, T. Houston, L. T. Mills. Genera] Dozier made it quite #cjear that the company had received an unsatisfactory rating at the recent inspection, the first time such a rating had been given to a military organization in South Carolina since the reorganization, of the militia after the world war. He stated that this rating was largely the result of the inadequate urmory, affording no drill space, no proper protection for government property from weather, or theft or fire or damage by moth and mold. Thut the company could not be continued unless u suitable armory was provided. That a military company is a great protection to a community and (jeserves the support of the citizens. That a properly conducted military organization affords" an excellent training to young men and makes them better and more satisfied citizens, and tends to keep them from leaving the community and seeking places elsewhere. That the boys here have had no inducement to continue in the company?being without recreation rooms, shower baths or conveniences of any kind. Major Moore spoke of the large amount of money that comes to a community and, is locally expended as a result of the presence of a military company and the financial benefit that a company brings to any city and county, giving figures from the files of his office. Major Dyer spoke of the large amount of government property to be cared for in the hands of the military company and the necessity for adequate armory facilities for this' purpose. He stated that the local situation in this respect is the worst in this state or in North Carolina, where he had been recently making inspections?in fact the worst that he has ever seen in his entire experience and stated that the war department would withdraw its support from the company unless steps were taken at once to remedy the situation. The citizens present to a man expressed the feeling that the community would never be willing to see the military company disbanded and pledged support in the building of an adequate armory. A committee was appointed to take the matter in hand at once and devise plans for organizing a community support in the project. The committee consists of Mayor C. P. DuBose, H. G. Carrison, chairman board of county directors; R. M. Kennedy, Jr., H. Savage, Jr., president chamber of commerce; Dr. S. C. Zemp, Captain A. M. McLeod, John T. Nettles. A resolution was adopted tendering the thanks of the community to Captain A. M. McLeod for his patriotic and unselfish service as commanding officer of the company ever since the world war, and expressing the very general regret at his resignation and manifesting the confidence of the community in the devotion and ability of Captain Brevard Boykin, recently appointed captain, and Lieutenant C. H. Yates, Jr., who are in charge of the company. The committee named above will immediately canvass the situation and get actively to work to promote the bifilding of an armory without delay. A joint committee of citizens and members of city counc;l went to Ne\v llrooklaml Wednesday to inspect the j armory at that place. Among those ,(>n the inspection tour were H. G. i ('arrison. Jr., C. I'. DuBose, R. M. : Kennedy, Jr., A. M. McLeod, S. C. | Zemp. J. T. Nettles, Henry Savage, Idr.. A. ST Llewellyn. I.. T. Mills and k W. Mitcham. Later the committee will go to Florence on an inspection <>f the armory at that place. Mr. Floyd Injured. R. S. Floyd, prominent farmer, who resides only a short 'distance beyond the incorporate limits of the town, had the misfortune Sunday afternoor to fall from the upper loft of his barr ; while getting the feed for his stock !

Snake Gathering New Sandhill Occupation Southern Pines, May 16.-?A curious article of com mere#, that has entered the field in the sandhills is snajces. When Talbot Johnson and his father, of Aberdeen, and Frank V. Dupont and several associates of Wilmington, Del., and New York, took over the hi* Mossgiel farpi of 3,000 acres on Drowiug creek as the Msssgiel club, they began plans to convert the vast estate into one of the most modern clubs in the state. They liberated several hundred pairs of Mexican quails on the tract, they are cutting fifteen miles of opening* 120 feet wide through the area, and in the center of these openings they are planting cow peas, beans, millet, and Other grains to feed the birds. The imported birds are pairing and breeding, the native qunil are also abundant, and other wild life is plentiful. Two club houses are already on the place,, and more will soon 1>? built. The wealthy J^Iovv < Yorkers will establish winter cafitnp^ there on a pretentious scale. Hut a funny phase of the development is the result of an offer to pay for hawks, snakes, and predatory vermin of all sorts found on the place and brought in. Buying hawks and crows, and sipiilar pests is not a new thing. But to see a bushel of snakes umong the accumulations of j the day's purchase is rather a novel- j ty to the folks around here who never set a cash price on snakes before, and thought of them only as a logical reason for taking snake bite medicine along when going fishing. Mossgiel has never been regarded as a very snaky country, but combing the three thousand acres yields a right favorable gathering of the creatures. One thing that interferes with the possible volume of the industry is that snakes from anywhere but the home-grown product of Mossgiel do not rate as having a cash value. Mossgiel snake production is strictly a local industry to the elyb alone. No bootlegging, Arid no importations. - - i ' ?' * Child Had Narrow Escape Betty CaThei I lie Burke, lodr-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Burke, had a miraculous escape from instant death or horrible injuries yesterday aftei'noon when she was struck by un automobile driven by Mr. W. T. Dempster, local automobile .mechanic, while the child with her nurse was said to have been crossing the street at the corner of DeKalb anil Broad while the green traffic light is' said j to have been on. ? The child struck the car with such force that the right hand headlight was smashed. (She was thrown under the car and pulled from beneath when Mr. Dempster stopped almost instantly. Aside from a bad scare to the child, and also to Mr. Dempster, the little one was not injured. A contract has been let to a^ Greenville construction company ipt the erection of a mill building 107x230 feet to cost $600,000 and contain 31,000 square feet of floor space at Great Falls, as an addition to the Republic cdttor. mills No. 8. The addition will provide room for the installation of 15,000 spindles and employment for 125 or more operatives. Pickens Godfrey, white, and Frank Allen, negro, died in Charlotte hospital on Saturday, the result of a pistol duel between the two on Friday when Godfrey was assisting a constable to seize property belongir g to Allen, under a mortgage. Each of j the dead men shot the other, Golfrey I firing at the negro after he had been mortally wounded. CITATION. . The State of South Carolina County of Kershaw By W. L.
