The Same Here.
When the old State Agricultural
and Mechanical society was
struggling for existence, the
press of the Mate unanimously
came to its aid and gave them
year after year columns of free
advertisement. For the past two
or three years we have received 1
the same request to do free ad?APfta?.ni^nf
as the societv has no1
money for that purpose autl offer (
a little complimentary ticket that ,
would take you into the Fair '
grouud, but if you offered it at;
the gate to see a ball game they j
would laugh at vou and ignore]
the ticket.
Besides, the State Fair has
;drifted iuto a regular money j
making business for some body'
and the press as usual goes beg-1
ging. We know not what the,
other members of the "gang" will
do, but as for the Leader and i
Vindicator, no more free advertis-!
iog will be given through its
columns to the State Fair society.?

STRICKEN AS A FLOWER.
Kingslree Mourns the Deatb of One of
Her Loveliest Young Women.
Yesterday (Wednesday), shortly
after the hour of noon, the snirit of
one of the fairest and loveliest of
fe :r y?-nr'-, M-ss
Pearl Koger, passed from its earthly
tabernacle into life everlasting.
For many months her loved ones
had tried to face the painful truth
that her days were numbered, but
still they could scarcely realize that
her bright young life, so full of hope
and promise, could be thus ruthless
ly extinguished. But, alas, all hope
was vain and her malady,deep-seated
and relentless, day by dav, fed 011
her damask cheek and stie faded as
a broken llower. Amiable, accomplished,
the hope and pride of her
fond mother, and, withal, a favorite
among her associates, Miss Pearl
hau nWch to live for, yet she bore
her suffering with gentle resignation
and faced the inevitable with that
strength which is imparted to the
weak when they east their burden
upon a higher power.
Mies Pearl Koger was the only
child of Mrs Ellen M Koger, of our
town, arid was about twenty-four
years old. Her father, Mr I M Koger,
died here when she was a child
of tender years. All her life was
spent in Kingstree except when she
was away at Winthrop college, from
which institution she was graduated
several years ago. After completing
her college course she returned home
and not many months elapsed before
her health began to fail. In the
hope of restoring it she went to
Asheville, where the fell disease
that tineatened her yonng life, tuberculosis,
is so successfully treated,
and for a time 6he seemed to improve;
in fact, when she first returned home
everyone remarked upon how well
she looked. But the remorseless
bold of the insidious monster was
relaxed only for a brief while and
nothing availed to stay the hand of
the destroyer.
Tiie death of Miss Pearl brings
sorrow to every heart; our whole
commuuity is saddened and the
deepest sympathy is felt for the lonely
mother who is deprived of her one
ewe lumb. Those who knew Miss
Pearl best feel that her pure spirit
will find sweet rest among God's angels
in the heaven prepared for mortals
who have been invested with the
habilameuts and attributes of immortality.
Her young life is ended^
"her sun has gone down while it is
yet noon." May she rest in peace.
At this time the funeral arrangements
have not been announced.
LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE
Met Monday Afternoon in Opera House
After Many Difficulties.
Tiie promoters of the Law and
Order league encountered
difficulties in holding their meeting
Monday7. Out finally managed
to get together a fairly representative
gathering. iVhen
the time'and place for the meeting
were arranged two weeks
before, the fact was lost sight
ot that court would be in
session and consequently the
court house would not be
available as a meeting-place.
There seemed to be a number
of people in town interested in
the formation of the league but
it took some time to solve the
question of a place of meeting.
Finally Mr L J Stackley kindly
came to the rescue and permitted
the meeting to be held in
the opera house. By that time,
however, it was late in the day
and the meeting had to be called
at an inopportune hour?
1:30 p m?when almost everybody
was at dinner. It was
about two o'clock when a
sufficient number had gathered
for Chairman Bryan to call the
meeting to order. The secretary
being absent, Mr C W Wolfe was
appointed secretary pro tern.
There being no minutes of the
former meeting available and
the committees appointed not
having their reports ready, very
little could be done except to
discuSs the situation in a
general way and get the views
and opinions of those present
! as to the possibility of organiz-|
|ing leagues in their respective
! communities.
Finally Dr Williams moved
(that the chairman appoint a
'Committee of tive men in each
township to explain tlie object
of the league and to work
I up a sentiment in tavor of
jit and report progress to the
'chairman. Meantime the cotnJmittee
on constitution and byi
lure \iT>*ilrl time* to 'Ore
i pare same ancl be read}* to sub1
mit them for approval or amendment
at the next meeting to be
called by the chairman when
the preliminary w*ork has been
completed so that the organization
can be systematically
carried on.
Death of MrrG E Rembert.
After an illness lasting only
a few days Mrs Lizzie D Rembert
died at her home at Benson
Monday night, November 15.
The funeral rites and burial
took place Tuesday afternoon
at 5 o'clock in the presence of
a number of relatives and
friends who gathered to pay to
their friend and neighbor the
last earthly tribute. The services
were conducted by Rev

Swamp Methodist church, of
which the deceasecf-swas a ioyal
member.
At all times the greatest of
human afflictions, there are
degrees of sadness even in
death. In this case the circumstances
are pathetic indeed,
the death of the young wife and
mother being an irreparable
loss to those dependent ori her
loving ministrations.
It is a trite reflection, as old
as the human race itself, that
the ways of Providence are
inscrutable; yet we are told
that lie doeth all things well,
and that those whom God loves
He chastens. Here we have a
young husband bereaved of his
devoted help-meet and four
little children left without a
mother's protecting care. We
can onlv hope that the Heaven.
ly Father, whose Son took the
little ones in his arm* and
blessed them will temper the
wind to the shorn lambs.
Mrs Kembert was a daughter
of the late Mr and Mrs W L)
Snowden of Cedar Swam]) and
was only about 30' years old
when called to answer the last
dread summons. She leaves a
husband, .Mr G K Kembert, and
four children, the eldest of
whom is only seven years old,
besides live sisters and three
brothers, and a large family
connection throughout the
county.
The sympathy of everyone rn
the community is deeply felt
for the afflicted family.
