Isn't it time for the board of health to get busy and have the citizens of Kingstree clean up their premises? Better do something now, before sickness forces us to improve the town's sanitary condition. Monday was "Clean-up day" over the State. No signs of any attempt to clean up were visible here. Judg! ing by appearances it would take at i least at week or two to give the town j any semblance of cleanliness. Can't I we get busy?

The Atlantic Coast Line railroad has recently laid a double track between Mount Holly and Bonneaus, a distance of about twenty miles,which gives a double track from Bonneaus to Charleston, thirty-eight miles.

"Squire" Fishburne is rapidly qualifying as a formidable competitor of the famous Squire Bailes. For two Sundays consecutively Mr ! Fishburne has exercised his notarial I authority in splicing love-lorn coui pies of dusky hue, in each instance unifying "two souls with but a sini gle thought; two hearts that beat as ; one." Saturday night our heart was made glad and the Sunday dinner assured ! by the gift of a pair of lish of liberal 1 size. The gentleman who presented them is one of "nature's noblemen," but entirely too modest to have us print his name. We are none the less grateful, however, because he prefers doing good by stealth and we won't embarrass him by telling on him. ??if*?'f"? ? ??'I'?*i > ll\# a fioiie j Worth CJ ?I ^ 4 C.

The little one died Sunday and was laid to rest at the Williamsburg cemetery ; Monday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev E E Ervin officiating. To add to the parents' affliction the other little prirl J is critically ill and scarcely expected, to live. | Don't miss our next issue, which will contain the story of the bom-! 1 bardment of Fort Sumter and the [ I events leading up to the act that {| precipitated a mighty four years'j, struggle,one of the bloodiest wars of i modern history. The story will be j' illustrated with pictures of Fort j1 Sumter and all the star performers! I in the grim drama of a half century . | ago. If you are not already a sub-;, scriber, send us your name. You! can't afford to miss this story. Miss Madge McCants entertained j quite a number of her youthful friends and playmates at her birth- ' day party Saturday afternoon from I 4 to 6 o'clock. The little hostess gave ( her many friends and playmates a ( cordial welcome at her hospitable home on South Academy street and 1 the occasion was much enjoyed by 11 all the participants. An Easter egg \ I hunt was productive of much fun i | and "treasure trove" to the eager ^ young seekers after the hidden ( prizes. Another magnanimous Salters gentleman responded to our appeal last week by advancing his subscrip- 1 tion to 1914. Those men of Salters I are the salt of the earth and the la- | dies?well, the only way to describe ( them is to say they are the "sugar of the earth." We are proud of these two responses from Salters,for, 1 while we expect to give our friends j I ! full value for their money, it would 11 ! lighten our load very materially if a j j hundred or so subscribers would pay j as much ahead as the gentlemen at Salters have done.
