THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1902.
Through the courtesy of I he secwj
r-etary, Mr. 0 C. LingsJton, we
hare received a copy of the proceedings
or the 27th annual convention
of the State Press Association,
held at Glenn Springs,
S. C., July 2-5,1901. It would b?
difficult to find a more clever and
iotellectnal body of men and women
than the Press Association ol
South Carolina, and the papers
read at their ajinuaf meetings are
highly interesting and instructive.

attention has been paid by the
management to the'beautification
- of the exposition grounds with
fti flowers and shrubs. Already the
I pansiesare blooming, the roses
9 have a new green dress, the rhodJf
odendronS" are budding, and the
open snace between the flower bed
L- and about the whole great grounds
K are covered with green grass and
grain. The center of the racecourse
?val is a thing of beauty, with its
rich coating, of waving oats?a
goodly sight for eyes wearied with
-the hare grounds and icy fields of
more northern latitudes. The live
oaks are evergreen,like the palms
and palmettoes, and the tout ensemble
is that of April, not Feb

Mortuary.
Mrs. Mary Leonora Graham,
wife of Sheriff George J. Grahatn,
ot Cooper postof5cevdiedlast Sat-:
urday morning and was laid to'
rest at Indiantown church on the'
afternoon following, Mrs. Graham!
had-been in poor health for some
tune, but her death was entirely!
uif ^?ected.
It would be hard indeed to find
; 11.. I
a woman more universau.v uciuvcu |
than Mrs. "Lipnie*' Graham, as
she was familiarly known. Possessed
of an innate refinement and
an amiable disposition, added to
lier unselfish, Christian character,
she endeared herself to everyone
and her death is a distinct loss
both to the community in which
she resided and to IndianiWn
church, of which sh^ was a consistent
member, dufir.j: most.of her
lite. Besides her husband Mrs.
Graham is survived by one brother,
Mr. John M. Cooper, of Indian-1
town, antf a targe circle of ollifrj
relatives and frieuds who are bereaved
by her death..
On Monday morning, Feb. 17; Mr.
John A. McGee died at his iiome
six miles from, town across Black
liver. Mr. McGee came to this
county I win Darlington, some
years ago* Hp was well advanced
in age.and leaves a wife and lour!
children, all of the iatter being
grc>wu. Tim .remain# were interred
at the Williamsburg cemetery on
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. H. J.

The Dispensary.
Justayearago last Friday the
incumbent, Mr. J. VV. Coward,
teok charge ot' the Kingstree dis
pensary. Since then the breakage
has been reduced to a minimum
ana mere nave ueeu nu luuucnts
at all. The building the dispensary
occupies is one of the neatest
and handsomest in town, and we
venture to say thai there is no
county dispenser in the State
more attentive to his business or
who gives better satisfaction generally
than Mr. Coward. Under
the present management the dispensary
has done a good business
and the net earnings amount to a
tidy little sum.
The following statement of the
year's business may be of interest

Brief Notes from Biliyille.
There are only two citizen? of
Billville in jail now'and one in
the legislature.
It's oar opinion the race problem
could be easily solved by more
plowing and less preaching.
Most of our people have made
enough this year to pay all their
debts and get full Christmas.
Thank heaven for bountiful harvests.
We'll soon be able.to shout
hallelvja and invite the preacher
to dinner.

as little money as they possibly can
be laid down here tor and sold on a
strictly casn oasis: Auy business
man knows that Corn, Grits. Bacon,
Molasses, Flour and such like g'K>?U
are the same as money. And what
our people need in Kingstrre is a
maD who is able to cope with -the
outside business world and bring
them to their doors as cheap as they *
can get them in any uurket. '1 ft is
can only be done with the money,
and at the outset we want to tell our
customers that it takes money to run
this kind of business. It never luu
been attempted here before. It is
pu-ely experimental, and whether it
shall succeed or fail depends upon
the support the people shall give it.
