Tax On Bananas. 1
I
South Carolina fruit dealers ,
have appealed to Senator Tillman <
to try to prevent the tariff on 1
bananas of live cents a hunch.
Tillman avers that he is helpless
in the matter, as this item has
alrea<fv l?een agreed upon in Democratic
caucus. The Senate hill
imposing this tax 011 bananas,
from this angle, seems wholly inconsistent
and indefensible. Bananas
are not grown for market
in the United States, but are
imported in vast quantities from
the tropics. By reason of their
cheapness and wholesome properties,
they have l?econie a very
valuable article of food, especial-J
ly among the poor classes, whose 1
daily prohlem in these times of
high cost of living is to obtain
the most nutricious food at a
minimum cost. The tax on bananas
will of course come out of
the iHH-ket of the consumer, l>eing
multiplied many times over
by the time the fruit reaches ?
1*** ill
iVUiu iw.:>vmv?.
It seems the height of eeon- i
oniic absurdity to impose a tax *
on bananas while coffee and tea v
are admitted free, the one U*ing j
r. fiKxl product, while the others ^
might he classed as luxuries. ^
These things considered, it is i
to he hoped that even yet the *
banana tax may l?e oinitttd from *
| s
the Democratic tariff hill. ^

Realizing their need of a larger,:
t>etter and more modern house of
worship the innate desire of the |
members of the Kingstree Baptist j
church can probably be most fittingly
expressed in the words of David
the Psalmist, when he said: "One
thing have I desired of the Lord,that
will I seek after, that 1 may dwell in
the house of the Lord all the days of
my life, to behold the beauty of the
Lord and to enquhe in his temple."
To their spiritual enhancement and
to the salvation of mankind, a hand-'
some new church is now under con-1
struction in Kingstree, the cornerstone
of which was laid last Thursday
afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, with
the impressive Masonic ceremonies,
' '? 1 ^ C
in me presence 01 large concourse or
people from various sections of the
county, and a large number of \isiting
Masons.
The occasion is another important
epoch in the upbuilding of Kingstree,
as it marks the erection of a second
new and handsome edifice in the
community, which will shortly be
iedicated to the services of the Dirine
Architect. Until the erection
ef the new Methodist church, which
ivas completed last year, church
property in Kingstree was at a distressingly
low ebb. with scarcely
nore than a ground valuation. The
>kt? V> rv Vf AfU nrmrr riinrn

eadership of their pastor, Rev W
5 Hurt, began to realize a material
fulfillment of their long cherished
lesire that they might worship in
i more suitable house and behold
he beauty of the Lord in a more
node.-n temple erected to His honor :
tnd glory.
It is conservatively estimated that,
n 1903 the value of all ch'-.rch prop-1
irty in Kingstree wus about $7,000, j
vhile by the -nil of the present year,
[913,by which time the Baptists and
^resfcyterians will each have com- :
)leted handsome new churches, its j
alue will have increased to $65,000,!
ncluaing the Episopal chapel and 1
wo colored churches. For the past 1
feneration the Baptists have worihinorl
in a small uncomfortable *
Thme building, which has in recent
'ears become inadequate forcongre- '
rational and Sunday-school purposes.
The new building, a picture of 1
vhich appears here, will be complet- 1
(d and ready for occupancy by No- I
member l,it is thought,and will have i
t seating capacity of about 400. It
vill contain a large auditorium, sep- 1
irate Sunday-school room, with a
- , . , i
lumper 01 class rooms, a pastor s
tudy and a ladies' parlor. The 1
>uilding is of pressed brick, has a
arge, porch-like main entrance on ^
Academy street, with four massive ]
olumns, and a side or separate en- <
ranee to the Sunday-school room on
irooks street. The windows will be
if ornamental glass. The equipment
nil be modern in every particular
md the completed edifice will be an
irnament to the town and county.
i
ts cost will approximate,when competed
and equipped, $12,000, most
if which has been already raised by
he pastor.

j
resr ntative one of the good people
of Kingstree and surrounding county,
composed of all denominations, |
and with undivided attention they
listened to the addresses by the i
speaKers and watched with profound
interest the beautiful ritualistic services
performed by Kingstree lodge,
No 4G. Ancient Order of Free Masons.which
were under the direction
of Most Worshipful Past Gi anil Master
James L Michie of Darlington.
Assisting the local lodge were representatives
from Benton lodge of
Timmonsville, Lebanon of Scranton,
St Peter's of Manning, Indiantown
of Williamsburg. Winvah of George-1
town, Mt Hope of St Stephens. Foreston
of Clarendon, Lake City of
Lake City, Inglesby of Greelyville,
Hampton of Florence and Beulah of
Olanta.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
members of Kingstree lodge and
their visiting brethren formed a line
of march at their new temple on the
corner of Main and Academy streets,
headed by Chief Marshals Cecil Jacobs
and Paul Harper. In the line
there were about 200 Masons, and
the parade was an imposing one as
it proceeded up Academy street to
the sweet strains of martial music j
rendered by Metz'sband of Charles- j
ton.
Upon arrival at the site of the
building the Masons formed around
the improvised platform upon which
Acting Grand Master Michie and his
acting grand lodge officers perform
ed the ceremony. The invocation
was pronounced by the acting Grand
Prelate, Rev W E Hurt, while the
great crowd stood with bared heads
in perfect silence. Acting Grand
Treasurer J W Cook here read a list
of the articles contained in the metal
box which he placed in the stone,
then the Marshal presented the Master
with the workirg tools with the
customary salutation: "Worshipful,
the necessary arrangements having
been made for laying the cornerstone
of this building, I present you
the square, level, plumb and trowel,n
those useful implements of the
craft, by which you will be able to
ascertain that the materials have
been properly prepared, and the
corner-stone you are about to lay ,
well formed,true and trusty." The <
Grand Master in turn presented these
tools to the officers who proceeded *
to set the stone in place. The Mar- J
shal then inspected the stone and reported
to the presiding officer, saying:
"Worshipful, I have examined ,
the foundation stone and find it true
and trusty and well laid. May this
f?o?a?nol nn^DrfaVino1 nrr?oor?nfoH
UaiUI HUi UI1UW1 VWitiU^ */? (/? VUVVMbVVi
by the craftsmen to completion, according
to the grand plan, and in ;
peace, love and harmony."
Acting Grand Master Michie then
lested the stone, which he pronounced
perfect, and was presented
entryy-fsruuaLi'iy yivycuiKo
I of scorrs emulsion. i
I Its prompt use often thwarts I
I tuberculosis. I
by District Deputy Grand Master M I
H Jacobs with the horn of plenty,
from which corn was poured upon
the stone. Acting Grand Senior!
Warden Robert W Fulton then
presented the vessel containing
the wine of refreshment, and likewise
Acting Junior Grand Warden ;
R N Speigner presented the vessel j
containing the oil of joy and glad- j
ness with which the stone was1
anointed.
The corner-stone was placed in the
southeast corner by special permission
from the Grand Lodge of South
Carolina, and its two sides face
Academy and Brooks streets. On
one side is inscribed:
"Kingstree Baptist church. 4N E;
Hurt, pastor. W L Wallace, C M
Uir.A* U* P FnnL- \1 A R,>? S C An-1
derson, J F Rodfrers, J M Brown, i
J F Williamson, A C Swails, J B1
Gamble." On the other, or Brooks'
street side, is: "Geo W Mower.G M. |
A L 5913."
The receptacle placed in the stone
contained a list of the officers and
members of the church,'list of county
and town officials, a copy of the
News and Courier, the Columbia
State,The County Record,the Baptist
Courier,a 1-cent piece,a 5-cent piece,
a 10-cent piece,a 25-cent piece, a 50cent
piece, a dollar piece and a list
of the articles. The receptacle was
oianlpr) and nlaeed in the hollow of
the stone.
The service was interspersed with
the usual ritualistic music, rendered
byaselected choir led by Metz'sband.
After the acting Grand Master had
finished his labors and returned the
tools of the craft to the contractor,
he stepped to the front of the platform
and delivered an address upon
Masonry. He stressed the beautiful
tenets of the order in excellent style
and language.
When Mr Michie had concluded
his address, Hon Philip H Stoll,
Solicitor for the Third circuit, spoke
briefly and eloquently with reference
to the church and the untiring efforts
of the pastor, Rev W E Hurt, who,
he said, deserves the credit for its
erection, and if for nothing more,
the structure will stand as a monument
to his zeal.
Mr Stoll introduced Lieutenant
Governor Chas A Smith of Timmonsville,
who delivered an eloquent and
appropriate address. He spoke feelingly
of the Christian's duty and of
the importance of the church.
After the exercises incident to the
laying of the corner-stone, the Ma
1 1? ? ^"'1 !' ? 1 a/io1 1 arlfrn

and led by Metz's band, were taken
to the home of Mr D J Epps, where
a picnic was given on his spacious
lawn. Pine bark stew and barbecued
shoat with rice were served in abundance.
and to say that it was prepared
to a king's taste is only putting
it mildly. In speaking of the enjoyment
of the feast, Mr Epps said, in
his characteristic manner, as when
speaking of a good tobacco sale at
his warehouse, "not a single ticket
was tucked."

WHY NOT GET A GUARANTEE?

"stung" on a purchase. Fifty years ?
ago the buyer had to look out, but :
today it is unusual to find a merchant 1
who will not return the money for 1
any article that has proved unsatisfactory.
An excellent example of this kind ,
of fair dealing is shown by the clean- '
out guarantee that Dr W V Brock- !
ington gives on Dodson's Liver Tone, i
These people tell us that any person
who pays 50c for a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone and does not find it
a gentle and most pleasant liver ton-!
ic, harmless, but a sure reliever of
constipation and a perfect substitute
for calomel, can get his money back ;
just as quick as they can get it out
of the money drawer.
Dodson's Liver Tone has practical- i
ly taken the place of calomel. It is j
absolutely harmless, sure in its action
and causes no restriction of habit or
diet. No wonder the drug people
are glad to guarantee it, while other
remedies that imitate the claims
of Dodson's Liver Tone are not guaranteed
at all. adv.
