PPSff 4 " ' ' fiv *" .' * ' k s ' Ml IB KIBE A REPRESENTATIVE OF A RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPER Speaks Good Words About the People of Our Town and Community. Rev. A. McAwPittman, of the |^' Sooth Carolina Baptist, of Green*t wood, was in Kingstree a few days ago, in the interest of his paper Kaon nrall t.loiXP(i J-ZC UlUSb IIAIC ueuil n v? f/.vv. with his trip here, for here is how he expressed himseif in the coluras of the Baptist: I had neglected to give Kingstree, the county seat ot Williamsburg, a thorough canvass until recently; it was known to us however, that a goodly number of the best people in town had been readers of the Baptist for several months. It was a rare treat toabe permit ed to spend the night in the good t. _/ T\_ "II f W n nonitJ U1 XJr. *1 . li. u auavv | Kingstree. He and his good wife were members of the Baptist church at St. Stephens, when I preached in that town a week elev en years ago. Tbfy have lived long and happily together, and what is more,they have been help ful to the cause of Christ whereever thay have lived. At present Dr. L. B. Johnson and wife are i living with them. The Baptist and a Teacher's Bible will go into that home. By special invitation I took ^ dinner with Mr. G. S. Barr, proprietor of the best hotel in Kingstree He is a generous public spirited gentleman, and iu addition to keeping a good table and comfortable room has the happy faculty 1 of making it pleasant for his friends. He handed me $1 for 1 it. d tue juajmsi. llev. A. B. Earle, pastor of the M. E. church at Kingstree must ' k , be an exception to the rule among J Methodist ministers. I do not hesitate to pronounce him orthodox on the manward and heavenward side of things, i. e., so far as the best religiors papers in the State , make it possible for a man to be theologically sound. Of course he takes the Christian Advocate, his bis own denominational paper but in addition to this and much of the best literature of his denomina ion, he actually takes the Baptist Courier and the South Carolina Baptist. He does not want to lose trace of his Baptist brethren. If there is two sides to any question he wants to see both ? 1 heartly commend his praise worthy example to all the Baptist minister?, and to all others of like faith and order. My friend and brother Mr Louis J. Bristow treasurer of the Baptist church in Kingstree, and editor of the County Record, brougth me under ren ewed obligations to him Within a little while I wrote ten subscriptions for the Baptist. The outlook for other new names in the near futureis very bright. Mr. W. H. Ken-iedy, of Indiantown, is a very fine specimen of manhood, and withal a hightoned Christian gentleman. At a short distance he reminds one very much of I)r. Lansing Burrows, of Augusta, Ga. Mr. Kennedy is favorably spoken of as a suitable man for Senator from Williamsburg county. No doubt he would gracefully and efficiently fill his position. Recognizing the fact that none of us are independent of each other he gave me his subscription for the Baptist. Brother Joel E. Brunson, as editor of the Prohibition Department in the County Record, is turning the tide in favor of prohibition by his thought provoking p editorials. He is also chairman of the prohibition committee in Wil liamsburg county. A meeting of the prohibition of the county will be held Saturday, April 2nd, at Kingstree for the purpose of appointing delegates to represent the county in the State Convention in Columbia, April the 14th. 'm 'm ' ' ? 1 % "THE LOST CAUSE." Fires of Patriotism Still Burn in Old Williamsburg* A correspondent writing in the Columbia Register from Kingstree last week said: Camp Pressley, U. C. V. held a meeting recently at which delegates were elected to the annual reunion which takes place in Charleston this month. Camp nno nf fh#? nlflpst a. i caoicjr jo uuv v* ?..w ? ? camps in the state, and few, if any, of the county camps in South Carolina have larger rolls than that of the camp of Williamsburg County. At the organization of the camp several years ago, Mr. D E. Gordon was chosen as comtran dant and Mr E. P. Montgomery was elected adjutant of the camp, and these two gentlemen have held their respective offices continuously since that time. At the meeting some days ago, the following gallant ex Conederates v?jere chosen to represent the camp at the Charleston reunion; D. E. Gorden, J. E. Due lop, J. A. McElveen. 8. J. Taylor, William VI M Vnnlman W .1 Rf?r. "pri". ?. xuv..u..., ... .. - rel, K. M. Smith, A. W. Flagier and George J. Graham. At the same meeting Miss M*ry McCutchen, a daughter of the late James McCutchen, was chosen sponsor for the camp. This latter honor could not have been bestowed upon a more worthy daughter oi' the late Confederacy, and memory of no more worthy a 'Confed'*! could have been honored than j that which was honored by Miss McCutchen's election. Last fall, by the 6trenuou? efforts [)f some of the young men of Williamsburg Co unty, a camp of Sons of Veterans was organized at this place, and todav it has a very large membership. The regular quarterly meeting of this camp will be held in the cou rt house next Monday afternoon, and at that meeting delegates to the reunion! will be elected. At the request of several young! men here, on the eighth day of last j November Col. "Jimmie" Arm-j strong came up from Charleston] and delivered before the sons 01 veterans at this place a most eloquent address, as did Revs. Elwell and J. E. Duinlop, of this county, auu at, mai nie-tr.ui^ <* Camp ol Sons of Confederate Vet Prans was organized. Mr. Charles J. Lesesne, one of Kingstree's foremost business men, a son of the iate Maj. If. Harry Lesesne, of Clarendon County was chosen as commandant, and Mr. Louis J. Bristow, a son of the late James T. Bristow,of Darlington was elected adjutant of the camp, which was named "Camp James McCutchen," in honor of that late distinguished citizen of this county. At a subsequent meeting of the camp of Sons of Confederate Veterans, Miss Etta Jacobs, a daugh ter of Mr. Louis Jacobs, "a man General DebiHty and Loss of Flesh Scott's Emulsion has been the standard remedy for nearly a quarter of a century. Physicians readily admit that they obtain results from it that they cannot get from any other flesh-forming food. There are many other preparations on the market that pretend to do what SGOTT'S EMULSION docs, but they fail to perform it The pure Norwegian Cod-liver Oil made into a delightful cream, skillfully blended with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, which fare such valuable tonics, makes this preparation an ideal one and checks the wasting tendency, and the patient almost immediately commences to put on flesh and gain a strength which surprises them. Be sure you get SCOTT'S Emulsion. See that the man and fish are on the wrapper. jot. and ft.oo, all druggists. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists.

At the meeting next week, Miss Jacobs will present to her camp a flag, the selection of which shows admirable tast on the part of the beautiful young sponsor. The banner is made of silk, one side being the last Confederate battle flag, with the following inscription in gold letters: "Camp James Mcj Cutchen, No. 58, U. S, C. V." the reverse side of (he flag being a blue back ground with the coat of arms of South Carolina and the inscription as above. The presen tation will be publicly made, and ihe presentation speech will be I made by Ool. J. E, Dunlop. Com-I mandant Lesesne will respond on part of the camp. Though one of the youngest camps in the Stale, uJames McCutchen" has a large roll, and will be well represented in Charleston at the reunion in April. Several of its member have signified an intention of attending the reunion already, and it is thought that i many others will go. ACETYLENE GAS.
