Mr B Miles of Vox was in Kingstree today for the first time, he says, in about ten years, and would not have recognized the town had he not known the location, so rapidly1 has been its growth in that period. In electing F Barron Grier, Esq, of Greenwood as its president, the State Bar association could scarcely have chosen a better man for the place. Mr Grier "got his start" and won his bride, by the way, in old King9tree. Mr W L McDaniel of Vox, a good frionH r?f TKp Rpeord. was a Dleasant caller at our sanctum yesterday to shove his subscription ahead. He says he finds it so much better to pay in advance and save the extra 25 cents. We were sorry to see him suffering from a rheumatic affliction in his right foot and leg. Under the head of "The State's New Enterprises," the following item appeared in the News and Courier of January 18: Commissioned: The Keels Company, of Greelyville, with a capital stock of 5,000, petitioners being P R Keels, W H Connor and J F Montgomery. We received last week from our esteemed young friend, Mr Cleve Duke of Benson, a fine mess of partridges. than which there are no more delicious and tempting deni zens of forest or stream, rartnages are our "long suit", so to say, when it comes to game, and these birds were of the finest quality, both in flavor and juicv tenderness. With the compliments of our old friend, Mr J J M Graham, of Cades vicinity, we received Tuesday a halfdozen heads of fine cabbage from his sixteen-acre field. In appearance, flavor and general excellence these succulent vegetables were, without exception, as fine as we ever saw. We thank our friend for his appreciated gift and at the same time congratulate him on the example he has set,showing the possibilities of diversified farming in Williamsburg county. We were glad to have as a caller at our office yesterday, our old friend, Mr J L Nesmith, of Fowler, and to learn from him that his eyesight, which had at one time became so impaired that he could not read, and discontinued his subscripfi'nn tn Thp Rppnrd. ia now much improved that he has again joined our army of readers. Mr Nesmith is now in his seventy-fourth year, though he does not look it. He was one of South Carolina's first sons to take up arms in the Civil war, through which he served faithfully, being twice wounded. Next Sabbath the Presbyterians will hold the formal opening service in their new church. Rev Henry Alj exander White, D D, of the Theo; logical Seminary at Columbia, will I make the principal address, which | will be a historical survey of the settlement of this section of the State. The other churches of the town will close their doors that day and worship with the Presbyterians. It is believed that there will be a large attendance. Representatives are expected from all the Presbyterian churches of the Black river section, as those churches have all gone out from Williamsburg, the mother church.

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH. Clothes Caught Fire lrom Cooklag Range, It Is Supposed. Lancaster, January 21:?Mrs Robert Threath, of the Lancaster Cotton Mill village, was burned to death today. Her clothes caught, it is presumed, while she was making fire in her range preparatory to cooking dinner. She was by herself in the house, the other members of the family being at work in the mill. A neighbor happening to call by about 11:30 o'clock to see Mrs Threath was startled upon opening the door, when there had been no response to her repeated knocking, to find the house full of smoke and to detect a peculiar odor as of burnt flesh. Calling a man nearby the two entered the house together, and going into the kitchen found Mrs Threath lying dead upon the floor about a foot from the stove. Her whole body, except her feet, was so badly burned as to make identification almost impossible. Every particle of her clothing except her shoes and stockings, was burned. Besides her husband Mrs Threath is survived by three children, two sons and a daughter. i A FINE ENTERTAINMENT. Sidney Landon, Character Artist, Irapersonator.Dellghts Audience Those who missed seeing the exhibition given at the school auditorium Monday evening by Mr Sidney Landon, impersonator and character delineator, under the auspices of the local branch of the Alkahest Lyceum, were deprived of a genuine literary and artistic treat. Mr Landon is more than a mere impersonator?he will make you think the real, live noted men he poartrys are standing, in propria persona, before you. Mark Twain and Bill Nye, the UlllMAWialfl f A WUIJU 3 IWU glCatCat uuuiunaia, vv/ our mind, were presented in real, living form, speaking from their own writings, with characteristic pose and gesture. "Uncle Silas"from Green Corners, Posey county, Indiana, was there, the living, breathing image of a rural Westerner transplanted to the great metropolis. His quaint, droll philosophy and wholesome, mirthprovoking humor brought forth continued laughter and applause, Then came a re-incarnation of that erratic genius, the melancholy Edgar Allan Poe, who recited his daintily beautiful lines, "Annabel Lee," just as students of this strange Drmiant man mignt imagine mm 10 have appeared and acted. But the piece-de renstance of the whole entertainment was the characterization of Robert E Lee, which was singularly appropriate on the evening of the gallant Virginian's 107th natal anniversary. General Lee's speech on "Duty" was more than impressive, it was almost sublime, falling from the lips of the South's great Chieftain, the world's incomparable military genius and nature's noblest gentleman. "Duty," said General Lee, "is the sublimest word in the English language," a sentiment that will live as truly as will the fame of him who uttered it. Then, again, said he: "Never j x _ *_ 1 ao a wrouK wj k?u <* iricuu ui iv retain one." How different from the oft-expressed sentiment of a certain gentleman, which has been widely quoted: "I stand by my friends, be they right or wrong."

No well-regulated home should be without a laxative, for there is scarcely a day in a family of several persons that someone doesn't complain of a headache, of sleeplessness, or show the first signs of a cold. A laxative then becomes a necessity or what was a trifling congestion at the beginning may run into a serious cold or fever. No harsh remedy is needed, but simply a mild laxatu tonic that will make the liver ^ctive and stir up the bowels.
