TOWN BUILDERS.
ThelWay to Make a Town Grow
and Prosper.
IIow onn we best build up our
city? J'li is is n quest ion ol praeti
cal importance to nil classes ol
<>ur people. In the first place we
should look alter the people who
come !o our city and do business
with our people. Every day we
have'good people anions us from
Greeleyville. L ke City, Scranton,
Cades, Lanes, Gourdins and from
ther sections of the county. We
should meet them cordially and
give them such a reception thai
iliev will be induced to come
again. Our merchants should in
vile them in their stores ami show
t hemtheir goods. They should fry to
make them feel at home. As opportunity
offers they should extend
to them courtesies and favors
of every kind. Strangers and visitors
should be given every attention
possible. We should show
them our splendid school building,
our excellent cotton gins, our
large lumber mills and other
places of public interest. In this
way people from abroad will be
attracted to our place and will be
induced to come and live with us.
Our merchants should see to it
that their stores have as beautiful
fronts as nossible. If vou go to
A W
Florence, Darlington Manning; or
Sumter you will be impressed
with the attractiveness of their
store fronts. In Kingstree there
is room for improvement. Who
will take the lead?
Another way to build up our
town is to talk it up. We don't
want any croakers. We must be
hopeful and inspire confidence in
others. Don't sit down and complain;
tell to the outside world
what a progressive young city
Kingstree is. Patronize the newspapers.
Give them advertisments
and you will be repaid. The
most-successful business men use
printer's ink.

A YOUNG NEGRO MEETS A HORRIBLE
DEATH.
The Eleven-Year-Old Son of Alfred
Tisdale Fearfully
Mangled.
The littleeleven-vear-old son of
Alberl Tisdale, a won known and
highly respected colored man who
lives about four miles from Kings
tree, across Black river, was kill
ed by a mule last Sunday morning.
The little boy must have
suffered terribly before he was
rendered unconscious.
From what can be learned
about the killing it seems that the
boy took the mule out to graze,
as he usually did, early Sunday
morning. The animal had on a
halter and to this was attached a
long rope, by which the boy led"
the mule into the woods. He had
tied the end of the rope around
his wrist, and this act cost him
his life. The mule evidently became
frightened and ran at a
* A i 1, l.nn,A
greui sjjccu tun uiu! numc. x uv
boy's hand being tied to the rope
he could not loosen himself and
was dragged over the rough
giound, through woods, over logs,
brush, ect., striking trees and
stumps, tor a distance of over
two miles. Iiis body was horribly
beaten and bruised, the bones
being near'y all broken, When
found lie was, of c uirse in an
unconscious stale, from which he
never recovered, dying within a
short time.
The rope broke when some dis- ,
tance from the home of the boy
and the poor little fellow was left
lying bleeding and helpless in the
woods. The mule ran on home
and when Tisdale saw it with the
rope broken, he immediately went
out to look lor his son, finding
him as above stated. A physician
was at once summoned, but
it was too late.
If you are a frienu t o your
neighbor, your town and county
do your trading with your own
people. It' a man was seeking to
ruin his neighbor and destroy his
town, the first thing he would do
would be to withdraw huisness. 1
While your trade would not be
missed, and while you might be
able to stand the expense and
cheat that may be incident to
your foolish act in going away from
home, yet the act is unneighborly.
Be true to your own best interests
by trading with the people
who make a specialty of trying
to please this community.
??
Catarrh And Malaria.
People who are or have been ,<
affected by catarrh are most sub
ject to chronic malaria. The explanation
is thisiMalaria is a germ
disease. Germs find thair way into
the blood through the mucous
membranes. If the mucous mem
branes are healthy the germs can
not enter blood. This is why
some people do not get malaria
But if the membranes are affected
by catarrh, even slightly, the malaria
germs find easy access into
the blood.
Pe ru na is the remedy. It not 1
only destroys malaria germs, but
so restores the mucous membran
es to health, that no more germs
can find entrance. Pe-ru-na ix the
most reliable remedy for chronic
malaria. It cures by eradicating 1
the germs from Hie system.
