BY AMFJttC*N PRESS ASSOCIATION A When Charley rode to Candy Town Astride a Teddy bear, He looked in wonder up and down With many a hungry stare, For all the streets were named for sweets, And, oh, so many there! tfUHPAOF KOADi . T*C */«•"»' TOWN | „ They entered town by Gumdrop road, Where all the candy shops J Were stuffed as full as any toad JN With most delicious drops. As Charley glanced he almost danced. While Teddy licked his chops. They turned a comer, when, in view, 0 Before their very eyes, Came Chocolate Bonbon avenue. Which filled them with surprise, For every shop was a chocolate drop Of most amazing size. Wn e sm But on they went with even jog, Since shops are not to eat, And soon they passed, with eyes agog, Through Peanut Brittle street, And every bfick was a peanut stick And doubtless very sweet! But Teddy trotted right ahead Through Candy Kisses way, Though Charley pulled his ears and said: Hold on a minute—stay! (« III V.- Lemme get down an* eat this town. 1*11 finish up today I” That Teddy bear plugged straight along Until he chanced to see, Surrounded by a merry throng, A great big Christmas tree. “Now 1 can climb and have a time,” Says Ted. “Hooray for me!” -rf /. As Teddy started climbing up His passenger slid down And struck the bedroom floor kerplup, And in his nightie gown ! Now, wasn’t that a sorry bat To get in Candy Town ? t But, after all, the town was there. When Charley oped his eyes, High up the tree was Teddy bear. Of real riding size, And candy sweets from all the streets— A Christmas paradise!

Charleston, 8. O., 16th October, A. D. 1909. M1TCHEL& SMITH, Plaint iff’e Attorney. 20 Years WithHe&rtTrouble “Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy has cured me of heart dieease of over 20 years’ standing. I was so bad that I could not do my work, and could scarcely draw a full breath without fainting or smothering. The doctor told me he could do no more for me; then I commenced taking the Heart Remedy. I shall never forget that night. I slept better than 1 had before in months. I kept right on getting better, un til I was pertectly well.” MRS. LAURA RUSSELL, • Logan, Iowa., When the heart action is weak, it fails to pump the blood through the lungs with sufficient rapidity. Then the lungs do not absorb the proper amotPnt <3f oxygen, although they may be taking in a normal amount of air. The result is, shortness of breath, smothering spells, diffi cult breathing, oppressed feeling in chest. Dr. Miles’ Heart Rem edy strengthens the heart nerves and muscles, and in this way increases the circulation^ Get a bottle from your drug gist.

One who has never been in “The Land of the Flowers’’ can scarcely realize that a distance of 40o miles could make such a difference as really exists between the lower part of South Carolina and this part of Florida, but such is the fact. W^rile you are shivering under your furs the people here are going around without their coats and as happy as the spring time in your country. We have a plenty of fruit, and vegetables in abundance. The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing—no frost and no cold wind. Our wonderful climate and healthy conditions are drawing large numbers of people here, and the real estate men are reaping a rich harvest. Prosoe* ity is contin ually changing hands at higher prices. I don’t want to make anybody dis satisfied with hia home in South Car olina, but if there is anybody who is wanting a more congenial climate I will be pleaaed to assist them in find ing a home here. Write me fully what you wish. We have a High School with about 600 pupils, and all the denomina tions have good houses of worship. The population of our city is actu ally an “Uncertsun quantity.” It is increasing so rapidly, that the sta tistics of last year would not do st all now. There ia a plenty of room for all good citizens, and they are freely welcomed, whether they are capitalists, merchants mechanics or laborers. “ _ D. M. Breaker. Kissimmee, Fla. A SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION- Men over 75 years of age remem ber the old-time militia musters they were required to attend when they were young men. The younger people will need to be told that there were regular muster grounds where, once a month, all the men over 18 years of age and under 45 years, were obliged to meet and drill. One of them was at Biggin church, and among those, whose duty it was to be at the place on muster day, was one, Josiah Dangerfield, who lived on the Monck’s Corner road. Dangerfield failed to be present one time and was promptly court- martialed. When the case was called he was required to tell why he failed to be at muster. Dangerfield was pretty well edu cated for those times, and when he wrote, his letters were in good style, words'correctly spelled and arranged grammatically, but when he spoke it was just as the negroes. His ex cuse was in this form. He.said, “You see, suh, I hab four hen; two duh set; one duh cluck; tudder duh run grasshopper in the ole fiel. I spek Vgwine lay now. Well. 1 hab one nasay little pupa, an ‘e gone an broke up all my hen ness, so I ketch dat pupa an tie im roun de neck an lead im down'to de ribber, an I look pan de pupa, an jisas I was gwine to trow im in de ribber, de string broke and de pups git way.

There were three candidates: Brant, an ex-representative; D. L. Smith, former County Treasurer, after wards Representative from St. Bar- tholemews; and D. H. Towles, a Magistrate from St. Paul’s. As usual, the voters were annoyed with two primaries. This being the busy season of the farmers, the result was the election of D. L. Smith; ortly a fourth of the qualified voters hav ing turned out at the last primary. St. Paul’s is relegated to the rear and she has many able and intelli gent citizens and embraces a heavy tax paying community, and contains most of the truck farming lands of our county. We want less politics in our elec tions, and more looking after com petency than popularity, at any rate, let the two be combined.
