It is not an uncommon sight to see a horse or mule team over-loaded, or the poor beast so poor or bruised up as to be scarcely able to travel, and the cruel master never seems to notice it, but, on the contrary, lays on the lssh. There is a law to prevent crueky to animals and it should be enforced. Two New Churches Projected. We are reliably informed that the erection of two new churches will be commenced in Kingstree early in the coming spring. Some time since the Presbyterian congregation decided to build a new church at a minimum cost of $12,000 and immediate efforts were put forth to raise that amount by subscription. These efforts have been crowned with success, inasmuch as a sufficient sum has been sub- | fr, -iiiotifir fKo uccnrnnpp nf fl i ' I tv JUOH1J VIC MWW4Mi*VV handsome new house of worSRip, ] which it is expected, will be ready I for use by its growing congregation within the present year. TheB ptist congregation of Kings- ] tree and vicinity have long felt the need of a new house of worship and only recently renewed efforts were j i inaugurated tending to the erection of a $10,000 church. The efforts of the pastor and others closely identified with the work of raising sufficient funds, have, as, in the case of ~ ' ? 1 3 the Fresbyteria is, met vvnn marw;u encouragement. It was the intention of the building committee at the outset to raise $8,000 of the maximum sum before the work of construction should begin. This amount has been practically subscribed, and it is more than likely that within the year we shall see a handsome new church replacing the little frame building on the corner of Academy and Brooks streets/now used as a meeting house by the Baptist congregation of Kingstree and vicinity.
