T E BAGGE
PRIMARY ORATORICAL CONTEST
Miss Ruble Thorn and Zeno Montgomery
to Represent Kingstree. '
The preliminary oratorical contest
among the pupils of Kingstree High
school was held at the school auditorium
Monday night. Misses Rubie
Thorn,Leora Gamble, Fannie Vause,
Louise Epps and Pauline Gordon
were the girl contestants. Each
young lady acquitted herself in such ;
a split. :id style that it was indeed j
hard for the judges (this writer
being one of them) to decide which
one should represent their school
in annual county contest tonight.
After considerable deliberation,
however. Misses Rubie Thorn and
Leona Gamble were voted first and
second places, respectively. The
young men who took part in the
contest were: Zeno Montgomery,
McB McFadden, David Epps, Alex
Blakeley and Hayward Brockington.
Although it was remarked by one of
fho indorse that- thp vmincrmpn Hid not
measure up to the high standard of
exeeilence set by the young ladies,
it was unanimously conceded that
they all did well, displaying coolness
and ability that would well reflect
credit upon older and more advanced
students.
Miss Rubie Thorn and Mr Zeno
Montgomery will for the second
time represent the Kingstree High
school in the oratorical contest between
the schools of the county, at
the annual meet here tonight.
Other literary and field day exercises
will take place tomorrow.
The atletic field has been put in
apple-pie order for the carrying out
of the athletic features of the prrvgramme,
and a large gathering of
school children from all over the
county is expected to be present.
Dr F H H Calhoun, director of ath
letics at Clemson college, will be in
charge of the field exercises, assisted
by competent judges.
Chronic Stomach Trouble Cared.
There is nothing more discouraging
than a chronic disorder of the
stomach. Is it not surprising that
many suffer for ?ears with such an
ailment when a permanent cure is
within their reach and may be had
for a trifle? "About one year ago,"
says P H Beck, of Wakelee, Mich,
"I bought a package of Chamberlain's
Tablets, and since using them
I have felt perfectly well. I had
previously used any number of |
? ? ? A - .1
different medicines, out nunc ui
them were of any lasting benefit."

Starl Them Off Right with a Good Laxative
and Then Watch Their Food
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what 3eems to i
constipate the child or to give it in- j
digestion, and urge it to take more I
of what is quickly digested.
' 1 1 M J 1 i. 1 I

constipation it should immediately!
be given a mild laxative to help the
bowels. By this is not meant a physic
or purgative, for these should
never be given to children, nor any- j
thing like sal's,pills, etc. What the
child requires is simply a small dose j
of the gentlest of medicines, such as
Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which. |
in the opinion of thousands of watchful
mothers, is the ideal remedy for
any child showing a tendency to
constipation. So many things can
happen to a constipated child that
care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches,
sleeplessness and many other
annoyances that children should not
have can usually be traced to con- j
stipation.
Many of America's foremost families
are nrT without Syrup Pepsin,
because one can never tell when
some member of the family may
need it, and all can use it. Thousands
endorse it,among them Mrs M
E Patten,Valley Junction, Iowa, who
Interesting, If True.
Mr Morgan J Rogers,Sr,who lives
one mile east of Fork,claims to have
invented a compressed air engine,although
he will not show it yet to his
most intimate friends. He says it
has already worked successfully. The
feature of the machine is to be selffeeding,
that is, the motion of the
engine draws in sufficient air to keep
it going.
Mr Rogers has been working on
this for about five years and is very
much pleased with his success. Those
who know him as a machinist know
that he is master of 'most any part
of machinery, having always worked
machinery from boyhood, and now
operates a saw mill near Floydale.
Surely this is going to be the
greatest invention yet,and it is amusing
to hear Mr Rogers talk so confidently
that in a short space of time
he will have stationary engines, lo-;
comotives, automobiles, etc, running
by compressed air, with no expense j
whatever, except a little lubricating
oil. i

is never without it in the house.
Mrs Patten says that Syrup Pepsin
has done wonders for her boy Ralph,
who was constipated from birth but
is now doing finely. Naturally she is
enthusiastic about it and wants other
mothers to use it. Dr Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists at
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle,
the latter size being bought by those
who already know its vlaue, and it
contains proportionately more.
Everyone likes Syrup Pepsin, as it
is very pleasant to the taste. It is
also mild and non-griping and free
from injurious ingredients.

sample bottle can obtain it postpaid

Wilson Talks To Dying Boy.
Washington, March 23: ? The
President of the United States laid
aside the cares of state for a short
while today to cheer a pale, weak
lad of twelve who was brought to
the White House on a stretcher.
Harry Winthrop Davis, of Sewickley,
Pennsylvania, was the Presi
dent's caller. He is paralyzed and
his strength is slowly ebbing.
He told the President how he had
prayed to see him until his mother
had arranged a meeting through Mrs
Wilson.
, The President's eyes were dimmed
as he walked away after chatting
for several minutes with the
lad.
