Tost for Convenience, Entirely apart from the many other advantages of a Personal Checking Account at the Bank, the convenience of it is no small consideration. The t ability to make purchases and I pay bills after banking hours (without the necessity 01 always having: a pocketful of money is worth a great deal. With zpheck Book in your k pockety ^>u are taking no risks of losfffg money and yet you always have all of your money on hand and ready for use. One is as liable to need money before nine in the morning or after three as between those * hours. The Personal Check Book settles the matter. BANK OF WILLIAMSBURG KIN6STREE, S. C. C W Stoll, Pres.

Tuesday we received the following telegram from Rev R L Holroyd, presiding elder of the Kingstree district: "Kingstree district is out on missions. That is to say .every church in every charge in the Kingstree district has met its assessment for 1 A1 n A n _ 1 missions ior iyi3. uur aunaayschools are rallying to Brazil special and we expect to succeed. June has been set lapart as church extension month. Our slogan is, 'Full collections.' " This is probably as fine a report as was ever made in our connection. There are in the Kingstree district twenty-one charges and seventythree churches. This report means that each one of these seventy-three churches has paid its mission assessment in full. That is certainly a magnificent report. Then note that the Sunday-schools are rallying to the Brazil special, and further note that the month of June is set apart especially for the church extension collections. We presume that Brother Holroyd proposes to neglect none of the claims, but that all of them will be paid in full. So mote it be. If he can, by the next conference, 1 J 1 J 1? * 1_ A? .1 nave so aeveiopea nis worn tnai each individual church will have paid in full its assessments v for all pur* poses, he will have accomplished a feat that twenty years ago would have been considered practically impossible. We most heartily congratulate the Kingstree district and its presiding elder on this great achievement. And now let us amidst all this financial prosperity suggest to every pastor that he make even more strenuous efforts to bring about a great revival of religion. The Kingstree district last year reported 6,978 members. Mav there be at the en suing annual conference a report of more than 8,000.

Don't forget the brides present and Watts & Watts is the place to get it. It The Hobble Sidrt. Ever since the hobble skirt and the other new wrinkles in feminine finery put in their appearance they have been the targets for unappreciative mankind. First they were roundly denounced from pulpit and platform; later it was attempted in some States to legislate them out of existence, and finally in desperation man turned for a weapon to ridicule, of which the following is a sample: Little girl you look so small, Don't you wear no clothes at all? Don't you wear no "shimmy" shirt? Don't you wear no petty skirt? Just your corset and your hose? Are these all your underclothes? Little girl, when on the street, You appear to be all feet With your dres^ so very tight | You're indeed an awful sight; ' Nothing on to keep you warm,, TZZ Urazy jusc to snow your iorm. ,mtmt Little girl, you won't live long, Just because you dress all wrong. 3 Can't you wear more underclothes Than your corset and your hose? After while I do believe You will dress like Mother Eve. But all this to no avail. The more men denounced the fashions, the more women determined to be right up-to-date in the matter of wearing apparel. The more men engaged in metaphorical kicks, the more women tightened their skirts so that they couldn't perform actual kicks. Having noticed this tendency we cannot help wondering what would be the result if men as a whole would take I the view of the matter expressed at a recent gathering of Chicago physicians. These doctors went on record as favoring tight skirts. Some of them actually made speeches in favor of the much-abused modern dress. "Plaited and wide skirts are the finest little germ carriers that were ever invented,", said Dr Curry. "When I saw the women of a few years ago switching that wide, germ laden skirt from a public street car 4 into her home I shuddered." Dr Arthur R Reynolds had decidedly definite views. "As long as the individual can walk to her own personal comfort," he said, "the narrow skirt is a splendid thing. It is not the germ carrier that the wider skirt is. Moreover,if you have ever noticed,it often corrects a bad walk. American women think it is stylish and pretty to*turn their feet out at right angles while walking. This, a narrow skirt makes it difficult to do; therefore.it is a good thing. The Indian walked naturally and turned his toes slightly in. The narrow skirt is gradually correcting a manner of walking that was surely breaking down the arch of American women's feet." Well, well! Maybe after all these gentlemen have solved the problem. < So all together, now, men! Boost the hobble skirt.
