\Religious
Meetings ClosedSchool
Trustees Hold Meeting.
Benson, August ?After a series
of very earnest and certainly well J
prepared sermons delivered by Rev
R \Y Humphries of Sumter, the J
meeting at Cedar Swamp church
closed last Sunday evening. The j
congregation here is much attached j
to Mr Humphries and he also expressed
himself as having a peculiar,
nearness, as it were, to them. For
it was in Cedar Swamp church that
u:? at nruophinor vvn<; I
Ills lust C11U1 i ni |/ivuv?iu6 ...?
made,and tnere, too, he saw for the
first time his partner for life?his
helpmeet, who vefy soon afterwards
became his wife. Mr Humphries,
although a very young man, has
suffered a great deal from nervous !
troubles, and we deeply sympathizeJ
with him.
The patrons, trustees and the Superintendent
of Education met here
Friday afternoon to discuss matters
in general pertaining to the betterment
of Cedar Swamp Graded
school. Mr McCullough read for
information the financial condition
of the school. It was noted from
the report that it would be necessa-!
ry to charge an entrance fee for
each pupil to supplement the present
amount which is derived from
taxation, in order that the school,
may be in session seven months. By i
vote this was adopted a'most unani- (1
mously, Mr A B Burrows objecting
strenuously. However, the school
is announced for a seven months pe- (
riod, and the teachers are to be engaged
with that understanding. ; 1
The matter of the appointment of
the present board of trustees was :
mentioned by Mr McCullough, <
who was acting as chairman. He i
stated that the time for election had ,
passed, as was advertised in the I
county paper, and that the present ,
board would feel better if they were J
endorsed by the patrons. A motion;
to that effect was made and carried, j,
Although there was a dissenting
vote, the motion was finally made
unanimous.
The chairman stated that he had
the authority to appoint the trustees,
and furthermore to annul the
election of any teacher that might
be chosen by them if he thought it
for the good of the school.
The time decided for the opening ;
of the school was Monday, October
14. The following teachers will be <
here to assume their duties in class
rooms:
Mr Pilgrim from Spartanburg as !
T, _ _. I
principal, ne is a Kcauuatc w cue |
Citadel. He took a post-graduate
course at the South Carolina Uni- j
versity and comes highly recom- 1
/
mended. The assistants are Misses
Bethea from McColls.S C.and Davis.
St oval, Ya. Both of these ladies have
taught in the county before, and
their qualifications are well known
to all who are concerned.

Hustling Hemingvvny Notes.
Hemingway, August (>: ?Please
allow me space in your paper for a
few notes from "Ancient Lambert,"
or "Modern Hemingway," as outlittle
town is growing too fast for
its progress to be kept from the
outer world. Although we have lots
of visitors from different places.still
there are many whom we never see,
and you, Mr Editor, seldom visit us.
The excuse used to be the long
drive, but now the train runs daily
from Andrews to Johnsonville.
What is the excuse now?
We have on record now, three
new stores complete and doing business.
Eaddy-Creel Bros have their
handsome building complete and
have gone to Baltimore to purchase
goods to open up by the first of
September. Mr F E Huggins, an
experienced merchant of Chapman,
has his store almost finished and expects
to be here also by September
15. Dr G B Haselden intrnds having
his new drug store ready for use by
the first. We wish these and all
new-comers much success. They
will have no trouble in depositing
their money, as the Bank of Hemimnvflv
is hoinir ranidlv erected.
Mrs J M and Miss Sadie Eaddy returned
here last Wednesday after
spending several days at Maid with
Miss Annie Moyd.
Miss Ola Spring of Chapman has
returned to her home after spending

Flying Men Fail
victims to stomach, liver and kidney
troubles just like other people, with
like results in loss of appetite, backache,
nervousness, headache and
tired,listless, run-down feeling, But
there's no need to feel like that, as
T D Peebles, Henry, Tenn, proved.
"Six bottles of Electric Bitters," he
writes, "did more to give me new
strength and good appetite than all
other stomach remedies I used." So
they help everybody. It's folly to
suffer when -this great remedy will
help you from the first dose. Try it.
