We take pleasure in inviting the ,
ittention of our readers to the big
idvertisement on page 6 of this is?ue
of The Record of Messrs Jenkinson
Bros Company which enumerates
some of the splendid bargain fea;ures
they propose to offer during a
ipecial sale commencing July 20 and
;ontinuing until August 24. The
senior member of the firm, Mr W E
Tenkinson, is a live wire and his
special sales are always characteris;ic
of his enterprise and push. Read
lis ad and watch the columns of The
Kecord for what he has to say from
;ime to time.
Dr Jno T Howell, of the State
Board of Health, who is in this
. ounty in the interest of the welfare
ind health of her citizens by examning
and giving free treatment to
:hose afflicted with the hookworm
iisease,informs us that he examined
156 last week, 50 of whom applied
it Kingstree Saturday. He also
states that he found about 23 per
:ent of those examined to be affect?d
by the disease. It is hoped and
jrgently requested that the people
ill over the county will meet Dr
ftowell at his various places of apx>intment
and take advantage of
:he State's free treatment, where
found necessary.
SPLENDID WATER SYSTEM
Now in Operation In Klngstree-- !
Sewerage Plant Nearly Ready.
The citizens of Kingstree are now
the possessors of an excellent water ]
system, new and up-to-date, and is <
said by many to be the best in any, |
town in the State of its size. \
Mr J Newton Johnson, Florence, i
was the designer and constructing t
engineer assisted by Mr Henry Voigt. c
The B F Meeks Construction Co j r
of Atlanta, Ga, were the contractors l
;
and builders, and the president of t
the concern, Mr Meeks, has person- ?
ally superintended all work under j
their contract incident to the com- \
pletion of the system which began in ?
January Bad weather and delays p
in the transportation of material, e
nowever, have caused some delay, I r
and the work could not be completed \
in accordance with the time specified
in the contract. In spite of de- s
lays no effort was made to rush the s
work. On the contrary time hasj j
been taken and in connection with J j
careful and painstaking efforts on ! f
the part of the engineers and con- j
tractors to give the town of King- t
stree a first class water and sewer-, <]
age system, and we believe they f
have succeeded. j t
The system has undergone several j
severe pressure tests and has proven ^
satisfactory to the Board of Com- j
missioners of Public Works, who t
have caused to be issued in pamphlet j
form an ordinance and a set of rules j,
and regulations applying to the t
care of the service and for the in- f
formation of the public concerning c
the same. The pumping station has v
t>een put in charge of Mr S C
Anderson.
I
The first citizen to tap the main .
pipe line and run the city water j '
nto his residence was Mr W H Carr, I
:he work being performed by con-1
' \
:ractors, while Mr F W Fairey j ^
vas the first to tap at the town's i
1 ^
expense through the prescribed!
channel.
Many applicants for water and (
>ewer connections have already been ,
iled with the commissioners and it j
s indeed gratifying to the residents
}f the town to be able to have a
perfect water system in their nomes.
The plant was formally taken over
by the commissioners Friday. ^
The sewerage plant will be com- *
pleted in a few days. 1
Tobacco Men Entertained. '
'Most any tobacco man would have
considered himself a lucky fellow to .
have been in Kingstree last Thurs- .
day evening. The day marked the
opening of the tobacco market here, ,
and, as it was, there was a splendid
representation of this world-wide
industry present, all ot wnom were
elated over the business done by the
warehouses, the quality of tobacco
offered and the excellent prices it
brought. About 50,000 pounds were
sold and an average of seven cents
per pound was the price received.
During the day Mr D J Epps, of
the Nelson warehouse, passed the
word to all tobacco men to assemble
at his warehouse about 8 o'clock p.
m.to partake of a "pine bark stew".
Some of the strangers from a distance
evidently didn't know what it
meant and retired early after the
strenuous day's work, while others
who knew, or had heard praises of
its rare and delicate flavor passed
up the evening meal and waited
with patience the serving of the delicious
fish and rice which that genius
in the art, Mr D J Epps, had
prepared by lantern light in the rear
of his warehouse, assisted bv his
faithful "flunky," Sam Moore.
Among the fortunate partakers of
the feast were: Messrs C D Noel and
C P Richmond of Danville, Va; R
L and Gorrell Hopper, VV R James, }
R W Gorrell and W R Gass, Win- ,

July 2, by Mr J E Pierce,is, we 1
ire glad to say, rapidly recovering
'rom the effects of his wound. He
vas in town yesterday and said he

Survey for New Road?Morrisville
Booming, Etc.
This section of the county has
Deen visited daily for the last ten
Jays by showers of rain sufficient to
under the farmers from "laying
>y" cotton, and if it continues we
'ear a damage to the weed will be
;he result. The present prospect
Joesn't promise a full crop by any
neans. From our observation the
ight lands planted to corn and coton
are almost a failure of the one,
md the other very poor. This is strikngly
noticeable among the negroes
vho tampered with tooacco culture,
md the whites also have not the
irospect that they deserve, how ver,
July is the cotton bearing
nont'n and we still hope for the
letter.
Mr L H McCullough has surveyed
l new road from Morrisville to Benon,
a distance of seven miles.
Morrisville is located on the Marion
Branch railroad in the lower section
>f this county and 'tis there that F
Bhem & Sons are the promoters of
he embryo town of Morrisville.
rhey have also had surveyed a road
rom the proposed town intera cting
he Potato Bed Ferry road, which
eads from Kingstree to Georgeown.
near Mr R W Smith's place,
^nd we understand there will b?
wo more new roads leading to
Morrisville. The road from Benson
3 almost a bee line, and is to be
wenty-four feet wide. When com
>leted it will be one of the most
:ompletely constructed public highvays
in the county, it is said.
Mr F Rhem is very much interred
yi the coming town and he
s spofltjfe no means toward its de'eloprrijit.
Not at a very distant day there
vill be a county seat on the Marion
branch railroad. Watch Morrisrille,
Nesmith, Henry and Hemingvay,
for one of these places will
;urely claim the honor of being the
:apital city of the new county.

The disposition to eat cold food and

evaient in summer,and there is no
me when people should more careLily
avoid bowel disturbances, as
uch serious disease is directly trace)le
to these conditions. We need all
' our strength to withstand theenvating
effect of heat.
To regulate the bowels and quickrelieve
even the most aggravated
se qt constipation,the combination
' simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
lown as Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pep3.
is highly recommended by all
ho have ever used it. Unlike'caartics
and violent purgatives, Dr
ildwelPs Syrup Pepsin acts gently

ithout griping or other discomfort,
inging relief in an easy, natural
