Mr J L Marshall, who is pursuing a course in medicine at the State Medical College,Charleston, is assisting in Dr Brockington's drug store during the vacation period. Mr W C Rogers,having passed another mile-stone along the rugged pathway that*leads to the goal of Medical Doctor,is back at his post in Gamble & Jacobs' pharmacy. At the joint exercises of the two literary societies of South Carolina University held last week the "dismissal" was made by Mr D A Brockintonof Kingstree, class of '12. Presiding Elder Meadors is in Spartanburg this week attending Wofford College commencement. His son, Mr W P Meadors, Jr, is a member of the graduating class. Mrs M F Heller and Miss Carolyn Scott left Saturday last for Charleston to attend the closing exercises of Ashley Hall and to be present at the graduation of Miss Mary Leize Simons at that college. Mrs Vester McFall, accompanied by her daughter, Miss Ora, and her son, Mr John J McFall, of Pickens, are visiting the family of Mr and j Mrs N D Lesesne, the latter being i Mrs Met all s sister. We try to get up a paper to inj terest all classes of our readers, j This issue is given largely to the I Farmers' Union, for the benefit of ! our numerous friends and patrons who pursue that vocation. Miss Pearl Montgomery, who has been teaching at Holly Hill, Orangeburg county, is another of the fair {young school-ma'ams who will i brighten their home town during I "the good old summer time." I N B? Only eight applications have been made so far for the fifty prizes offered by the School Improvement j association. Can't some of our ru ral schools capture a few of these I prizes? It is worth the effort. A party, comprising the following members from town, spent the week-end at the Atlantic Beach hotel on Sullivan's Island: Mr and Mrs W N Jacobs, Dr C D Jacobs, Miss Barbara Jacobs and Miss Banna Wilkins. Among the graduates in law at the State University appears the name of Mr Philip Heller Arrowsmith of Kingstree. We congratulate our bright and diligent young friend,who in one year's time finished the law course and attained the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The finest vegetables we have seen are from the garden of Mrs W H McGee. She certainly knows how to -11 A _ ' make things grow ana ner greatest pleasure is dividing with her friends, as we have ample reason to know. Her beets "beats" anything in town, and beets are our "long suit", in the vegetable line. Miss Eula Swann, Mrs Fannie Swann's little daughter ten or twelve years old, while riding behind a passing buggy Saturday afternoon, slipped from the axle and the hind wheel ran over her face, bruising it considerably. No bones were broken, however, and prompt treatment by Dr Kelley soon made the little girl comfortable. Mr A H Williams of Lake City, a member of the class of '12 at the State University. Columbia, was junior orator from the Euphradian society at the annual joint celebration of the two societies last week. Mr Williams was also awarded a gold medal for winning in the prelimina1 rv contest for the State oratorical ; event at Greenwood. Practical evidence of the growth of Kingstree and the town's increased commercial importance is demonstrated by the fact that the salary of Postmaster Jacobs has been increased from SI,500 to $1,600, effective July 1,proximo. It would be surprising to most people to know the volume of business transacted through this office in a single month. wmmmmmmmmmrommn >w is n 5c i 5c twns 5c ared Lawns 4c BUTLE iiiiiiimiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiuuiiiiim EVE HAD AN EASY TIME. N?ith?r Fashions Nor Nerves Bothered the First Woman. French fashions being yet in the future, dress patterns and Mrs. j Jones' new bonnet did not worry I Mother Eve. Her first, efforts at j costuming were a little crude, but I later she wore coats of fur or sheep skin, the forerunners of the Pari- j sienne's Persiaan lamb wrap of to- j day. She never suffered from nerves; I * j her children did not catch the measles at school nor worry her playing hookey. The furnace did I not go out nor the iceman forget ! her. Monthly bills, water rates and taxes were things unknown. Soap not yet having arrived and Adam preferring negligees to boiled shirts, she had little laundry work to do. He did not stay out late at the lodge, and she belonged to no literary clubs. Altogether what a , restful lot was hers compared to j these strenuous days! In the scheme of creation the I lower animals appeared first. Besides being the newest thing, eonse1 quently the highest type, and the ; only woman whose name is told for centuries, she must have been ; bright and progressive, in advance of her time. It took the devil himself to tempt her, and then neither ; wealth nor power, but the desire onnnaln/^ fn lior lc I ( 30DS CO/ liSUIIUlUUllUltlUUlUllUlUlUII u j Owing to a freight train being I wrecked at Scranton,local passenger trains were belated Saturday afterI noon. Five cars loaded with phosphate rock were completely demolish'1 ed and about fifty yards of trackage ; destroyed. The wreck is said to have been caused by a broken journal: Fortunately no one wa3 injur. en and the track was soon cleared by the wrecking crew. Insurance Commissioner McMas* ter has reported to State Treasurer Jennings the amounts to be paid by the county Treasurers in the State on account of what is known as additional license fees, collected from insurance companies for tjhe six months ending December 31, 1910. The gross amount collected is $60,117, one-half of which goes to the ; State, the other half to the counties ; for ordinary county purposes. Williamsburg's portion of this fund (amounts to $390.24. Mr Alex G Kollock of Columbia I was in town Friday .representing the ! New York Life Insurance company. Mr Kollock was for a number of ; years editor and proprietor of the Darlington News,but abandoned the newspaper business for the more lucrative worK of writing insurance. Former Editor Kollock says that he liked the work of editing a weekly newspaper verv moch, but could get nothing out of it but a bare living and even that required the hardest 1 kind of work and closest attention. Three tracts of land were sold at public auction Monday, as follows: Foreclosure sale. Smith vs McElveen, 170 acres, bought by attorney for mortgagee for $200. Foreclosure sale, Thomas vs Duke, 72 acres, bid in by LeRoy Lee, Esq, attorney, for $400. H D Reddick's lot and ; store, sold by W L Douglas, trustee in bankruptcy, for ?5,030. This I property measures1 approximately 50 j feet front by 109 feet deep, and with I the large brick store on it, is one* of the l>est stands in town for a mercantile business. The general I opinion is that it sold remarkably cheap. We appreciate more than we can I well express the many handsome comi pliments evoked by our write-up of j the high school commencement last j week. Kingstree has a fine school? a high school in fact as well as in j name?and we felt it due the town j j and county to tell our readers about ! the splendid work that has been done in a quiet, unassuming way by | the school during the past session, j I The commencement just past was ! the b^st ever held, yet we hope next year to be able to say conscientious| ly that there has be n improvement over the year before, both in the work of the school and the comj mencement exercises Returning Collegians. The following college students are home for the summer or will soon return from the respective institu tions of learning they have been at; tending: | Messrs Thos M Gilland.Jr, Arthur Brockin ujn, W H Harper, Philip Arrowsmith and John Ross, State Unii versity, Columbia; Messrs David i Scott.

The masculine element, apparently nr>t alert enough to seek it himself, meekly and quite willingly followed his wife's lead, and some of him, dear brethren, are doing that yet. Adam's endeavor to dodge the blame and Cain's characteristic query about his brother's keeper ' showed that in those days boys took after their father. The girls probably resembled their mother. She, wished to be wise, with the knowledge of good and evil, and to know all about the neighbors, and her daughters have been just like her ever since.?Life. i Wanted It Dramatic. A French soldier sat on the summit of a hill overlooking a garrison town; his horse was picketed close by. The man was smoking leisurely, and from time to time he glanced from the esplanade to a big official envelope he held in his hand. A comrade passed by and asked, "What are you doing here?" "lam. +Vi/-? nrooirlont'o narHftn fnr ItA/Q i 1 1 WUV J/iWOIUVUV a* V*VM ? our friend Flichrnann, who is to be shot this morning," replied the smoker calmly, without changing his comfortable attitude. "Well, then, you should hurry along with I your pardon/' admonished his comrade. "Ah, no !" exclaimed the othi er, in some indignation. "See, there [ is hardly a soul yet on the esplaj nade, and the firing platoon has not even been formed. You surely ' would not have me rob my appearance of all dramatic effect, my j friend !" ____________ A Wonder. An advertisement was inserted for some one to take charge of the choir and play the organ at a village church. The following was among the replies: "Sir?I notice! your advertisement for an organist and music teacher, either lady or gentleman. Having been both for several years, I offer you mv seri!ces." Asking Too Much. "Will you take a chance on this mining stock?" "1 don't know. You might send It tp to the bouse on approval and let us try It a month." Just to Pitas* Her. "I am going to sue him for breach of promise." "But he has no money." "No, but he has another glrL" A Linguist. "Money talks." "Yes. and It speaks every tongva known to man." Appearances.
