FEB. 25. 1909. A Final Word. In order to give every subscriber in arrears the oppoitunity to pay his account we are going over our list and mailing a state* meat to all that we find indebted to us anything at all. If you owe the account pleas? pay it, as we need the money. If there is an error in the account let us * *> 1 - -1 J know ana we win a? giau w correct it. Should anyone desire his paper discontinued advise us and we will cheerfully take his name off our list -only please pay to date. It involves quite a great deaj of labor and considerable expense to seud out so many of these statements and we hope the parties to whom they are sent will give them prompt attention. To the individual it means but a small sum?only a dollar or so?while to us the aggregate amounts to hundreds of dollars. We have tried to serve you faithfully: now, will you do your part? V. W. Wolfk. ! _ I Anion*; our most valued ex-! changes are numbered two weekly i newspapers edited by members ofi the fair sex, viz. The Abbeville i Mrdiurn. whose editor is Miss Crace ! Hemphill, and The Brauchvillei Journal, whose editorial sanctum is I presided over by Miss Estella; Snioak. Both these voung women i ara "making good'' iu every sense and are shining ornaments to the Fourth Estate of South Carolina, and it is uoi mere idle compliment to that the work of their heads and hands will com-| par? favorably with that of seasoned veterans iu the ranks of journalism. It is peculiarly interc*t;ag to LOte that both of these bright and brainv newspaper women at cue time taught school iu Williamsburg county, Miss Hemphill at Johosonvillc andj Mies Stnoak?unless we are mis-' taken - in the Cades section. When a subscriber pays up what he owes and requests his copy of the paper discontinued it isn't nwwcarr ufhl mi u.nrd <if nnrtl. ogy or even explanation. It is purely a business transaction and we aie just as grateful for past favors as for present or expectant ow.% True, we would prefer never | td lose a single subscriber oncej he enrolls on our list, but we! take it for granted that when aj man wants to <juit the paper hej knows his ow u business best and j we haven't a word of complaint.! No one who stops his copy of the! . I paper need entertain any fears of; causing the plant to shut down,! as we have enough left to runj cn quite a while longer. And then, to?', on the average oue| subscriber lost is replaced by two new ones. Nothing about a woman's nature is so complex as her complexion. The fellow who flies stale jokes J at you might he called a smooth bore. Everybody despises a quitter: but the fellow who hangs on long after lie ought to quit is to he pitied. In about a week more the The-i i odore hear will take a hack seat; and tiie William 'possum will conm to the front. Distinguished Visitors. Monday and Tuesday of last week Dr John Boyd and Surgeon General Kixey of Washington, D C, visited Die ?Y S and I X Boyd near Heinemaun,and enjoyed fine sport birdbuntiug, Dr Uixey is the highest medical officer in the United States seryice, being surgeon general.

It not only heals irritation and allays inflammation, thereby stopping the cough, but it also moves the bowels gently and in that way drives the cold from the system. It contains no opiates. Sold by D C Scott, M D. Demorest Comedy Co. The Demorest Comedy Uom! pany opened a week's engage| ment ^at the opera house last night with the pretty play "The Miner's Daughter," The largest crowd of the season was present and was simply carried away with the play. Each and every member is an artist in their line, but lack of space prevents special mention of each. It is the best we have had since "67." Ona Demorest in the role of "The Miner's Daughter" was sweet, graceful and easy and is far above the average. The Musical Deraorests playing on their many novelty instruments were great, the "organ chimes" being a feature,and we kindly request them to re peat the act again this week. Mr Charles White as Zeke is a leading man of ability and made many friends. Marie DeGafferelly was excellent. Tonight they present the funniest of all farce comedie.s "A Midnight Elopement" which promises to be great. Prices 25 and 35 cents.?Georgetown Item. Death of Mrs. Lula Kinder.

The meet? i v^s were all largely attended land much interest in the great I work was manifested. | We were all so glad to have with us Miss Daisy Da vies, one of our returned missionaries from ,'hina. She told us much of the customs and ways of the people over there and how they i were calling to us for help that we may arouse them from their dark heathenism. Mrs W L Wait, who is the first vice-president, gave some very interesting talks on missions, which were also very helpful to those who were so deeply interested in the glorious Work.

I-1 Let us thank the good people of Georgetown for their kindnesses and hospitalities extended to us while in their city, and I am sure we can all go home feeling all love towards them, and that our efforts were not spent in vain.
