There are- several hundred
makers in the United States;
therefore when The Press and
Standard decided to give a piano
aa a premium in its subacription
contest, the publishers coilld
have made a choice from any
number of instruments. But
they realized that they must
have a piano that would give
satisfaction and be consistent
with the ideas of their readers.
That is why they chose the in
strument froth The Cable Piano
Company.
If you could visit the great
factories of The Cable Company,
at Chfcaffoand St Charles, III.,
and see how they make pianos
there, you would understand why
it is that those instruments have
attained such a high reputation
for merit. These factories are
equipped with special facilities
for accurate workmanship, and
the men employed are skillled
piano makers, particulafly ex
perienced in production of high
grade instruments.
The Kingsbury piano was
chosen for the contest, therefore,
because they are made according
to the correct scientific and ar
tistic principles. The Cable
1 Company is acknowledged to be
the greatest concern in the world
engaged in the manufacture of
pianos and reed organs, and be
cause it has produced instruments
that have satisfied the public, it
has been able to obtain this en
viable position. The officers of
4)this Company recognize that'
only by giving the most complete
satisfaction to the public could
the gieatest success be gained,
and you find in that principle the
reason for the superiority bf their
pianos.
You will see in these state
ments also, the reasons why the
publishers of The Press and
Standard gave their preference
to the piano bearing the name of
The Cable Company. They knew
that they could place it in the
home of the successful contest
ant. and that it would stand
j there as evidehce that the pub-
i Ushers of this paper had in mind
i the best interests of their read-
; ers.
The appearance of a case or two
of amall pox in town ia»t week waa
the came of some interesting deve
lopments between the board of
Health and Mayor Ackerman. Dr.
L. M. Stokes, the health physician as
a result tendered his resignation,
which was accepted by Mayor Acker
man, and Dr. Riddick Acaerman ap
pointed to till the vacancy caused
thereby. /
It is reported that Dr. Stokes 'and
the Board of Health, becoming]
alarmed, and fearing a spread of the
disease, desired to have an order for
eaeral vaccination enforced. In
order to do this it was necessary to
have the approval of the Mayor.
This approval the Mayor withheld,
and as a result Dr. Stokes tendered
his resignation.
Mayor W. B. Ackerman stated
when seen by s representative of
The Press and Standard, that
is absolutely no cause for any
in town. There are, he says, only
three cases of small pox in the town
limits, and these are carefully and
completely quarantined. Ihere has
been no spread of the disease, and
he does not look for -any. All the
■fhool children have been vaccinat
ed and a irreat many others. The
patients are all doing well, and only
one or two of them have been at all
severe. He feels that the situation
is well in hand, and that no one
need feel any uneasiness. Persons
desiring to come to town can do so
without fear.

BRANT-HODGE
Sunday evening at 3 o’clock Jan.
29, the marriage of Miss Ruth May
Brant to Mr. Charlie Hodge took
place at the residence of the brides
parents Mr. and Mrs. x G. L. Brant.
There were quite a number of peo
ple present. The, ceremony
was performed by the brides
uncle, Hon. W CMJrant, the Pride
and groom left immediately after
the ceremony for their future home
near Jackson boro. We wish for
them a long and happy life.
WENT TO SEE BUSTER MOWN-
Among those who attended the
ive and musical merit, it has all]
of tne characteristics that have)
given the Kingsbury pianos their ]
remarkable prestige. Particular
attention is called to the artistic
case design and the veneering
which makes this instrument
particularly adapted to please
the taste and discriminating
people.
SMOAK GLOVER.
A marriage of considerable in
terest in town was that of Miss
Julia Smoak and Josiah B. Glover
which took place at the residence of
J. Melvin Carter Sunday afternoon
at 3 o'clock, in the presence of a few
relatives and friends. Rev. Henry
Cauthen of the Methodist church
performed the ceremony. Mist
Smoak is a young lady of many
admirable traits of character and
leaves behind her an enviable record
for good deeds and kind aeta. Her
friends are numerous and true. Mr
Glover was recently the manager of
The Savoy here, but now has an
important position with the Colleton
Cypress Company at Colleton. Mr.
ai d .»lrs. Glover left immediately
after the ceremony for their future
home at Colleton, where the best
wishes of their many friends go
with them.
SMOAKS BANKING COMPANY.
Smoaks, Feb. 6,—Special: The
meeting held Friday to organize the
Smoaks Banking Company was very
successful. Books of subscription to
the capital stock were opened at the
store of Smoak, Carter and Maxcy
and in a few minutes the majority of
the stock was subscribed. The
stockholders immediately held a
meeting to elect officers, resulting as
follows: Jno. E. Smoak, president;
F. J. Berry, vice president; C. A.
Thomas, cashier; I. A. Sauls, secre
tary and treasurer. Jno. E. Smoak,
F. J. Berry, F. W. Thomas, C. A.
Thomas and Dr. H. M. Carter were
elected directors. The capital stock
of the bank is $10,000, and it
probably begin business at a very
early date. It is thought that the
bank will not a vail a new building
i>efore begining business
The stockholders of this bank are
among the most substantial business
men and citizens of the cortununity,
which fact insures its success.
The Bank of Hampton has about
completed its branch bank at this
place, and will be ready to open
businesa in the near future.
ELECTION FOR SUPREME COURT
juBge.
Hon. W. B. Gruber and a number
of hia friends are in Columbia this
week where they have gone to be
present when the election ia held
for the Associate J usticeship. This
election will probably come up this
morning, and Judge Gruber’a
friends are confident that he will be
successful in his candidacy. He
has received some venC* flattering
assurances from a large number of
the members of the General Assemb
ly.
THE AMERICAN FAILING.
This is a very material age. We
hear of wonders upon wonders in
the way of inventiona. which appar
ently aim to give people lew and lew
to do—until at last only the burden
of existence shall be left upon their
hands. Parents are no longer satiaA-
ei to provide the necewitica of the
’sidple' life’ for their ehildrsn.
They nmst have everything that
modern ingenuity haa devised: and
everything that can be heard of, or
that other people have, cornea to be
considered a necessity. Up to the
limit of ability, we are striving to
supply beautiful homes, schools,
churches, banka and stores for the
rising generation. But thus far and
no furthe^he ideal seems to go!
It appears to me that we are
markedly deficient along these lines
which should come in for attention
first, both in point of time and of
importance. Surely it is not what
the child haa that ia most worth
while but what he is. And let us
rever forget that ‘the child is father
to the man.*
1 have in mind the school-room
where we have strained every nerve
to put in as fine seats and desks, and
as artistic pictures as the financial
condition will allow. And yet, in
nine cases out of t&n, it is occupied
by children with shrunken chests
and round shoulders and cursed
spines and diseased eyes. Not be
cause tthese children are naturally
deformed or de ective—oh no!
They are unbeautiful t. erely from
lack of the right kind of phyidcal
and mental regimen. Perhaps
sometimes it may be because they
have never had any teacher to take
interest enough in thapi to tell
them of the evils of bending over
nearly double at the desks, until
their backs describe one long para
bola, like the curve of » cat’s back.
She may have never shown them
how to throw up the chest and fill it
with good pure air; nor told them
that hanging the head down, instead
of holding up the book, is a form of
laziness which will cause the eyes to
be congested with blood and strain
ed, resulting in injury to the eye-
will ^sight and the whole nervous system.
But the main responsibility for this
state of tnings is by no means the
teacher’s. We will assume that
every tenth teacher does her duty
in this respect; but it is very unlikely
that she would get so many as every
tenth child under her care to heed
her instructions and profit by them;
—merely because the children have
done as they pleased from infancy,
have never been ihade to obey the
mother at home (except as it was
easy and agreeable to obey) and it
& too late at five, aeven, or ten years
to obey nbw. There may' be a
momentary show of compliance-
hut the child has beenself-govornmg
