RAPID STRIDES IN GROWTH AND
PROGRESS-GENIAL, HOSPITABLE
PEOPLE.
pnnntv Masons were
VlOlVllUV/ll wuuvj - ?
represented at Kingstree's big day
last Thursday by delegates from Manning,
Summerton and Foreston?the
occasion was the laying of the corner-stone
for the Kingstree Baptist
churcl^ a new brick edifice now in
course of construction, which, when
completed, will be one of the nicest
places of worship in this part of the
State. The attendance at the ceremonies
was large, the addresses of
the Most Worshipful Past Grand
Master, Hon J L Michie.and the Hon
Charles A Smith were excellent, the
former spoke on Masonry, and the
latter spoke on the mission of the
church, paying a handsome tribute
lL- --?J*? trhinVi hrnncrht

about the accomplishment of the purpose
to erect the magnificent building.
Metz's famous band from Charleston
furnished the music for the
notable occasion. *and the local quartette
did <he singing.
The audience was large,made up of
people from the community and the
surrounding country; all through the
ancient ceremonies the most rapt attention
was given. It indeed was a
great Masonic day, and the visitors
were most delightfully entertained.
The hospitality of the citizens of
Kingstree was great, everybody
seemed to feel it a duty to make the
stay of the visitors pleasant ?they
' succeeded admirably. The dinner
was served on the outskirts of the
town, in a grove at the home of Mr
D J Epps, and, by-the-way,the pinebark
stew and the barbecue were prepared
under Mr Epps' personal supervision;
we would wager dollars to
doughnuts there is not a chef in the
^United States who can excel the stew
and barbecue prepared for this occasion.
Everything was in abundance,
yes, abundance is the word,and served
as only a whole-hearted people
can entertain. The writer keenly
\ enjoyed every moment of his stay in
the hustling town. He was deeply
impressed with the spirit of unity
so manifest on every hand; the im*
pression created was that everybody,
even father, was working for the in.

seem to be the dog-in-the-manger
spirit so frequent in other communities;
everyone seemed to be possessed
with the idea that to make Kingstree
grow selfishness and antagonisms
must be' removed, all must pull
together for the common good, the
handicapping of one is the crippling
of the other; therefore, it is good
business to help each other and
make all succeed.
Kingstree has made rapid strides
within the past lew years; u is an
old town, one among the oldest in
the State, in days gone, its citizenship
was content to keep what it had
"for me and my wife, and my son,
John, and his wife, us four and no
more," with the result, the community
lay dormant for many, many
years, but at last there came a quickening,
the shell of selfishness was
broken, the scales removed from the
eyes of those who had the town chok1

spirit took hold of the people, they
began to look about them for possibilities,
they lifted the screws off
from their holdings, so others could
have a look in upon them; new life
was infused into an almost lifeless
being,with the result that all realized
the efficacy of unity of purpose
and action. This unity was not to be
of the hot-air kind, but that it must
be put into actual practice by the
business men of the community. The
result well demonstrated the wiscjpm I
of those leaders who aroused a sleeping
community into activity. Kingstree
today is an object lesson for
other towns to follow; it is a live
wide-awake proposition, which is the
admiration of all who visit the place
and especially those who knew it in
its Rip Van Winkle days.
Kingstree has several institutions
which attract trade and furnish
material to induce people to go there
to work?it has no room for drones,
but the men and women with red
blood in their veins find hearty wel

come and encouragement to succeed.
Nothing that we saw indicated any j
spirit of antagonism; no little petty !
spirit to cripple, but everybody hold-;
ing up each other with support, and j
other means to succeed. The County
Record, the only newspaper in
Williamsburg county, is filled with
aI 1! 1.'-J mrjfV
me Iivest KIUU Ui auvci noni^,
business house, small and large, has i
an advertisement in the paper; the i
Board of Trade from its treasury j
carries a full page advertisement in |
the town's interests; every professional
man feels as much interested
in the up-building of Kingstree as
the merchants and so it is, the town
is live with willing workers. Has it
paid the people of Kingstree to spend
their money for advertising? Ask
any of the business men to what they
attribute their increase of trade and
their population. Ask them if their
tobacco warehouses would have attracted
the 3,000,000 founds they
expect to handle this season. Ask
them would they be content to go
back to the old time tightwad and
short-sighted methods. Ask all classes
*
whether or not their campaigns 01
advertising has increased the trade,
and then, when these questions have
been asked and answered, verify
them by a personal investigation. If
Kingstree has accomplished all of
this while other towns, better situated,
stand still, it should arouse
business men to get together with a
determination to set the wheels of
progress in motion.
Greater things can only be accomnlished
bv united effort. No town
can prosper if the property in it is in
hands that refuse to yield to progress?those
who have the town corked
up should do as was done in the
progressive towns, loosen up so it
can change into active hands; put
away personal differences and every
one strive to unify the community
for thegeneral welfare. If this course
is pursued a great improvement will
be felt in a short time. Manning is
well situated for business, it is sur
rounded by the best lanas m mis
part of the State, it has a climate
second to none, health perfect, good
social environment and splendid
school facilities; with such facilities
and conditions, an asset many larger
towns do not possess, there is no
reason why this town should not be
one of the foremost in lower Carolina;
it will be if the citizens will get
together in the proper spirit.?Man

DIKE DISTRESS.
It Is Near at Hand to Hundreds ot
Kingstree Readers.
Don't neglect an aching back.
Backache is often the kidneys' cry
for help.
Neglect hurrying to the kidneys'
aid
Means that urinary troubles may
follow.
Or danger of worse kidney trouble.
Read this Georgetown testimony.
Mrs T C Matthews, 1502 Front St,
Georgetown, S C, says: "For a long
time I was afflicted kidney and bladder
trouble. I rested poorly and
grew weak and lame. I noticed that
the kidney secretions were unnatural
and doctored for kidney complaint
but nothing helped me until I used
| Doan's Kidney Pills. They stopped
the trouble with the kidney secretions,
relieved the pain and cured
the backache. You may continue to
use my former endorsement of Doan's
Kidney Pills. This remedy is certainly
a good one for kidney trouble."

When a man has suffered several
days with colic, diarrhoea or other
form of bowel complaint and is then
cured sound and well by one or two
doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, as is of
ten the case, it is but natural that
he should be enthusiastic in his praise
of the remedy, and especially is this
the case of a severe attack when life
is threatened. Try it when in need
of such a remedy. It never fails.

Rnt This Does Not Bother Mrs.
Burton, Under the
Circumstances.
Hoi <n, Texas.?In an interesting
letter from this city, Mrs. S. C. Burton
writes as follows: "I think it is my duty
to tell you what your medicine, Cardui,
the woman's tonic, has done for me.
I was down sick with womanly trouble,
and my mother advised several different
treatments, but they didn't seem to do
me any good. I lingered along for three
or four months, and for three weeks, J
was in bed, so sick 1 couldn't bear for
any one to walk across the floor.
My husband advised me to try Cardui,
the woman's tonic. I have taken two
bottles of Cardui, am feeling fine, gained
15 pounds and do all of my housework.
Friends hardly know me, 1 am so well."
If you suffer from any of the ailments
so common to women, don't allow the
trouble to become chronic. Begin taking
Cardui to-day. It is purely vegetable,
its ingredients acting in a gentle, natural
way on the weakened womanly constitution.
You mn no risk in trying Cardui.
It has been helping weak women back to
health and strength for more than 50
years. It will help you. At all dealers.

An old farmer and his wife, noted
for their niggardliness, had a custom
of allowing the servant only
one match to light the fire with each
morning.
One morning the match failed to
kindle, so the servant went to their
bedroom door and asked for another
one.
A whispered consultation was
held between the two, then audibly
the wife said:
"Will you risk her wi' amither
ane, John?"
"I doot we'll hae tae risk her,
Janet/' replied John, "but be sure
an' seek a sicht o' the ane she got
last nicht."?Glasgow Times.

In the Staffordshire district of
England is Rudyard lake, which
gave its name to Rudyard Kipling,
lot it was on a picnic there that I
Lockwood Kipling, a designer in a
pottery factory at Stoke, met toi
marry Miss Macdonald, daughter of
the Wesleyan Methodist minister at
Burslem. From the place of their
meeting came the novelist's Christian
name. The two other daughters
of the Methodist minister in
the potteries married the artists
who were to become Sir Edward
Burne-Jones and Sir E. J. Poynter.

'That last thing you sent in was

reading it very much."
"Well, in that case," said the
youthful poet, '1 take back what I
said in the letter I wrote to you
yesterday about my determination
never to send you any of my work
again."
The editor slowly shook his head.
"Don't do that," he murmured.
