.Just after the storm of last
September it was asserted thai
the pea crop of this sectior

The most wide-awake farmers

the good weather prevailing
since Christmas and have done;
good deal of work towards pre
paring for another crop. Th<
spring may be late and old ant
wet and all that, but the prope

Doings at Dock.
L Dock, February 11:?Our
farmers are busy preparing their
lands for another crops. With
' the exception of a few days last
week the weather has been fine
for farm work.
Messrs B L and R J Nesmith

' charming- and winsome young
' lady who has been "teaching
the young idea to shoot" near
Morrisville for the past several
months, left Saturday for her
i horn#* in Orangeburg, much to
the regret of htr many friends.
County Supervisor S J Single1
tary paid our community a visit
- last week. We don't think he
* came on official business either.
> Mr Hugh Tisdale, an old
f friend of the writer and, withal,
f an all-around good fellow, came
i down from Benson last Sunday
- and attended Sunday-school at

The Last Cond hovering lost of
School Biiildiny Retired.
Tiu* last bond :.a> hern taken tip
and the handsome building, the
home of the graded school. Kittystree's
pet and pride, is now paid for
nud is the property or the school
district, which is co-incident with
the corporate limits of the town.
We believe in bestowing honor
where it is due and while the entire
l.nanl of trustees of the school are
deserving of commendation for their J
efficient services iu the matter of
building this splendid edifice, vet itj
is the chairman of the board, Mr
Louis Jacobs, on which the heaviest
part of the burden has naturallv
fallen. It is to be borne in mind
that these trustees have received not
a cent of compensation, and to
direct and overlook this work has ,
been truly a labor of love for Mi
Jacobs, albeit he has not a child to
derive benefit from the instruction
imparted by the faculty of the
school. A brief resume of the cause
and effect of the present school
building may not come amiss just
at this time:
In the fall of 1903 a few of
the citizens of the Kingstree determined
upou the erection of a new
modern school building. An act to
authorize an election for or against
the issuing of bonds for this purpos"
waspassed by the general assembly,
and the election held under its provision
was almost unanimously
carried, ouly 2 votes being cast
agaiustsuch bonds.
The board of trustees decided to
place the loan with the Bank of
Kingstree rather than issue 20 year
hernia aa th?v f?-lt snhsfied the debt
would be extinguished long befoie
that period, as city council had
agreed to turu certain funds over to
I them for that purpose.
The services of Capt J A Kellev
were generously placed at the disposal
of the trustees in drawing all
necessary legal documents, and the
board expresses itself very grateful
for such services.
The cost of building, furniture,
grounds, etc., aggregate abou t
$15000, all of which has been paid.

I Flowers end Scents.
"Identically the same scent," saya
(a writer, "may occur in plants belonging
to widely different families. .
For instance, the distinctive smell
of violets occurs also in the snow:
flake, the stocks, a spurge laurel
k and the blue water lily of the Nile.
On the other hand, closely allied
plants may emit scents differing
greatly in nature and appealing to!
the tastes of different insects.!
Among the spurge laurels one species
smells of vanilla, another of J
violets, another of lilac and yet an-?
other of cloves. Flowers which ex-'
= hale the delicious smell of honey in
1 the comb appeal particularly to
bees, butterflies and the moths
which fly by day, as the humming
bird, the hawk moth and the gsyly
= colored burnet. The coarser and
more powerful scents of the haw*
thorn and elder are the special allurement
of the beautiful green rose
beetle and other flower loving bee
tics, vrhile butterflies leave thia claai
of scents severely alone."
