MONUMENT TO BE UNVEILED ?

On Memorial Day, May 10?A Notable
Occasion. r
e
( May 10, Memorial day, this year ?
will be a notable occasion in the his- g
, tory of our town and county. On
that day the local chapter of the ^
i Daughters of the Confederacy will
unveil a monument to the memory of
. the Confederate soldiers of Williamse
burg county. The shaft will be made t
1 of granite,thirty feet in height, sur- ^
mounted by the figure of a Confederate
soldier, in regulation uniform, c
with rifie in hand. 9The statue will
be of Italian marble, chiseled into
life-like semblance of the type of
soldier who made the Confederate c
gray the badge of courage recog- t
nized the world over. g
The cost of the monument ready c
for unveiling, enclosed by a sub- v
stantial iron fence, will be $2,500, c
most of which has been raised by v
the devoted women of Kingstree, y
whose labor of love extends over a s
period of many years. That their k
untiring efforts have at last -been
crowned with success is proof posi- c
tive that the "Daughters" of the g
present generation are worthy des- r
cendants of their noble mothers, s
whose dauntless spirit and self-sac- t
rlficing patriotism inspired the he- t
roes of the Lost Cause to those c
knightly deeds of valor that made t
all the world wonder. v

NEW BANK ORGANIZED.
Capital Stock Subscribed-Com
nlsslon for Charter Applied for.
Kingstree is to have a third bank.
?or some time we have heard a
umor to that effect, but until
resterday we were not in a pcition
to verify the accuracy of I
he report and therefore refrained
rom mentioning it. Now, from a
eliable source we have definite inormation
that the new bank is
eing organized with a'capital stock
f $25,000, and a commission for
harter has already been applied
or. As soon as the charter is re-;
eived the organization will be
erfected and the bank will begin
tusiness in temporary quarters unit
a permanent home can be seujed.
The new bank, we understand,
rill be financed entirely by local
apital. The stock has already been
iver subscribed, all of it being
aken up in the town and surroundng
country. While the officers have
lot as yet been formally chosen,
t is said that the head of the in
titution will be a well-known busiless
man, who is already interest d
in several flourishing corporate
interprises in town. The directorLte
will comprise well known sucessful
men of affairs, representing
arious business callings. The pronoters
and stock-holders have sanruine
hopes of success for the new
nterprise, their policy being not
o antagonize the older financial
nstitutions but to join in with
hem to help build up and develop
>ar town and county.

EXCITING RUNAWAY ACCIDENT,
Two Young Ladles Narrowly
Escape Serious Injury.
Academy street was the scene ol
an exciting and perilous runawaj
adventure Monday afternoon. Misses
Vivian and Louise Wheeler were
driving into town from their home
in the snhnrhs when their horse took
fright and dashed full speed down
the street. The younger girl, Miss
Louise, jumped or fell out of the
buggy without being hurt soon after
the horse started to run. The remaining
occupant, Miss Vivian, had
a narrow escape?indeed it is hard
to believe that she was not seriously
injured, but it seems that barring a
few slight bruises she is none the
worse for her exciting experience.
While running full tilt down the
street the horse suddenly turned and
dashed into Mr Carr's yard, circled
around the house and over a flower
pit, thence back into the street and
turning again into Mr J C Kinder's
yard, smashed two gates and halted
in his mad career only when he
reached the stable in the rear of the
lot. Somewhere in the whirlwind
finish through Mr Kinder's yard
Miss Vivian was thrown out, and as
stated before, the young lady fortunately
sustained no serious injury.
The buggy, too, instead of being do
molished, was damaged only to the
extent of having one front wheel
shattered.
IT S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don I Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Residents
of this vicinity are constantly testifying
to permanent cures.
P 0 Falkenstein, 415 Darlington
St, Florence, S C, says: "Doan's
Kidnev Pills are in my estimation an
excellent remedy. I suffered almost
constantly from a dull ache in the
small of my back. I also had sharp,
shooting pains in my loins and upon
arising in the morning I was very
lame and sore and it was quite a little
while before the stiffness disappeared.
I came to the conclusion
that my kidneys were disordered, as
the secretions were highly colored
and contained a dark sediment. I
used about a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills and they acted promptly, removing
the lameness and soreness
from my back, and regulating the
passages of the kidney secretions.
My back is now free from pain and
you are at liberty to publish my
statement in return for the benefit
I have received from Doan's Kidney
Pills." *
