TO INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK. The Bank ot KIngstree Preparing for a Greater Prosperity. There are no better assurances of tne progress ana staouuy 01 a town and county than its banks and banking facilities. Kingstree and Williamsburg county have these. Just now every thinking citizen is paying strict attention to all public and local business conditions.and especially to the condition of local banks,hence it is our pleasure to call the attention of our readers and the public to the notice in our advertising columns of the Bank of Kingstree in regard to the increase of their capital stock from $30,000 OiM AAA HP1 i. L ~ JC *L.'? 10 $oo,vuu. ine gruwui ui una bank has been remarkable. It was organized in 1901 with a capital stock of $15,000; in 1906 it increased its capital to $30,000 almost by its own earnings, and in seven years it ^ has accumulated a surplus equal to its capital. Notwithstanding this favorable showing the officers and directors are not disposed to let its growth lag, but by doubling its capital propose to make it one of the strongest, safest and best banking institutions in the State. The aim of its officers is to protect in every way tne interests of its patrons, and we feel sure that with its present excellent reputation for accuracy and ir? aavmnnr ifo nofrnnc )UUiU|JlUC3S IU ociuug no 1/KV1 vmu and the public, in connection with a largely increased working capital, the future will bring it equally as great if not greater success. The Bank of Kingstree was the first bank to be organized in Williamsburg county and, besides the surplus accumulated, it has paid an 8 per cent dividend every year to the stockholders. Its directors and officers are men who have achieved success in their several callings and ?? whose business ability is forcibly demonstrated by the success of the institution whose affairs they have cn minoKlv monocrpft OV vupuujj UiwtiMg vv*i *r *V % Back to Books. _ The 1913-14 9esson of the Kingstree Graded and High school opened Monday morning under auspicious circumstances.

Mr and Mrs S A McCullough,with little Vivian,arrived this week, after an extended visit among relatives and friends in Aiken county, the home of Mrs McCullough. We are sorry to learn that Mrs Ellen Foxworth is so sick that she j had to be taken to the Florence in, firmary for treatment. Mrs Foxworth has many friends who are interested and hope for her speedy recovery. ' Mr John S McCullough, while out hunting squirrels one day last week, sat by a tree to rest and while in 1 this position shot a squirrel. The gun "kicked" and broke his collar bone. The accident caused him ; much pain at first, but he is getting along very nicely now. It appears that both ends of a gun are dangerous. Miss Muriel Chandler left for Greenville last week, where she will matriculate at the Greenville Female College for the coming session. Cadet Jack McCullough has returned to Clemson College,beginning ^ his junior year. WES Lines to a Slain Swine.

Your nose may not be so small aa to ? attract undue attention, but at least It is not so large and noble as It 1 would have been had you been living ' In the days of Caesar, London Answers asserts. The Insignificance of the present day nose Is due to the Introduction i and general use of the handkerchief Handkerchiefs?which are very mod, ern Indeed, as things go?were nevei used by the Romans, and they were > less liable to colds and the still more , troublesome complaint, influenza, than we are now. As a result, they were possessed of the largest and very best j shaped noses possible. When civilization, which started In Rome, Bpread to the northern couni tries of Europe the Inhabitants of these changeable climates found they had continually to rub their noses, and thus they fell below the Roman ! standard. , This explanation, of cou* rcunda somewhat far fetched, but ii . a well 1 known psychological fact that any part of the body which Is continually 111 used will eventually deteriorate. in Pami Rnrtl/a Rare books to the value of nearly $1,000,000 changed hands during the last year.
