It is believed that the reduction in

for school bonds was issued in Sep- j
tember, 1906, for $10,000.00, drawing i
interest at the rate of 6%' per an- }
num. There remains a balance due
on these bonds of about $7,900.00. j
They will be retired in about eight ]
years. (
The present rate of insurance in j
Kingstreo is as follows: (
For a shingle roof, frame dwell- <
ing, 90c per $100; with metal roof, <
65c per $100, For a shingle roof,; i
frame mercantile buiiding, $3.25 per i
$100. For a metal roof, brick mer- ?
cantile building, $1.50 per $100.
Under the existing law Kingstree j
may issue bonds for an amount not t
exceeding 8"- of the total assessed \
valuation of all taxable property j
**$531,899.001 which is $42,541.92. j
The proposed bond issue is for an t
amount not exceeding $42,000.00, t
which, if disposed of for a 5"<- inter- r
est profit to the purchaser, will re- t
quire an additional tax of 3- mills to s
pay the interest. r
The statute under which these r
bonds may be issued provides for a c
sinking fund of 1-40 part of the to- ^
tal amount to be set apart annually fi
for the purpose of retiring the bonds, $
which sinking fifnd.it is believed,can
be raised out of the net proceeds of t
the operation of the water works p
and sewerage systems. t
From the present condition of the s
streets of the town and the town n
treasury it is reasonable to suppose
that within the next two or three 0
years the present S mills town tax s
may be reduced very materially.
The installation of the proposed v
water works system will have reduced
the above rates of insurance
to the following: ^
For a shingle roof, frame dwell- f

The Funniest Story In a Hundred ^
Years?The "Requests."
A letter which would undoubtedly
oe considered a hoax perpetrated by t
some professional waff, if the docu- ^
tient itself did not bear unmistakable ^
?vidence of its seriousness, was re- t
:ently received by Representative A fc
F Lever, of the 7th South Carolina *
district. This missive has caused a 15
e
?reat deal of hilarity among those
ivho have seen it in its original in- e
locence. Is
During the debate on the farmers' e
free list bill, recently passed by the
tfouse of Representatives, Mr Lever
delivered a speech, of which he was
iustlv proud. He mailed a number
)f copies of the speech to his con;tituents
in South Carolina. His refn
?rence to the measure as puuing N
various agricultural necessities on ^
:he "free list" brought this remark- t
ible requisition from his district: ^

Many people never suspect their i"
lidneys. If suffering from a lame, ^
ceak or aching hack they think that f
t is only a muscu'ar weakness; Vhen ?
irinary trouble sets in they think it
rill soon correct itself. And so it is "
rith all the other symptoms of kid- (4
ley disorders. That is just where {
he danger lies. You must cure <
hese troubles or they may lead to 1<
lial?etes or Brignt's disease. The j {
>est remedy to use is Doan's Kidney *
'ills. It is for ills which are caused <
>y weak or diseased kidneys. Resi- \
