I At a meeting of the Kingstree Board of Trade held Wednesday evening of last week, the president, Mr H E Montgomery, was instructed to issue a call for a mass meeting of the citizens of the town to be held at the court house Friday night. The object of the proposed meeting was only vaguely stated, but a full , understanding of the general work to be taken up was evident by the Kovmnninnc enthusiasm that charac " terized every member present at the meeting. After short talks by several of the leading business men the gathering adjourned. The call for a mass meeting Fri- i day night was heartily responded to, : Jor with the call had gone forth the announcement that Mr Tom M Mor- 1 gan, secretary of tbe Chamber of Commerce of Florence, would be ^present to address the assemblage, and at the same time invited the ladies to "come out and help boost Kingstree." ' The meeting Friday night was I " * * ?J?

And i it was along these lines that Mr Morgan made a most interesting i and highly entertaining address. He ^ prefaced his remarks by stating that our Northern brethren usually | / QuitJ?e/vy; II r |# jJpeci/i How many times have \ said: **I cannot, because / AfOA'EF?"

This was a mistake, and he would vouch for the fact that we had plenty of men in the South who would stand around a corner store and talk politics all day, then scour the swamps all night for one little, old, swiveled up coon as a reward for his labor. "We are industrious men," said the speaker. What we need is a little more enthusiasm and concentrated action. We have a fine town, a splendid location and are surrounded by a territory as rich and fertile as any in the South, where he could produce on one acre as much as he could on five in Indiana or Michigan, or any other Northern or Western State. Mr Morgan's lecture was a timely one, abounding in good, sound logic, interspersed with some of the humorous, yet [ridiculous facts tjnat confront us almost every day if we Stop to consider seriously a Kreat many of our business, and particularly our farming methods. When the speaker had concluded his address, the meeting resolved itself into a business session, with Mr H E Montgomery presiding. Reports from several committees, that were appointed at Wednesday night's meeting, were heard and considered favorable. A soliciting committee had raised about $500 on subscription to be applied in advertising Kingstree, setting forth her advantages and possibilities as a market place for tobacco and various other products of the soil of the surrounding country. Plans for the work! were suggested and discussed at! some lengrn, in mi emucsi cnw the part of every one present, to devise ways and means that would ultimately prove most beneficial to the commercial complexion of Kingstree and at the same time herald If I had only had thai money in the Xbanfc rf)~ <?&/cA /.

These gentlemen held a meeting Monday morning and outlined their work, which is already being executed. It is hoped that they will have the full co-operation of every business man in Kingstree, and that their efforts may be well rewarded by a general business uplift for the town and her citizens at large.
