CONTINUES?PERSONAL.
Special to The County Record.
Lake City, March 81:?Revival

who left to fill another engagement.
Much interest is being
manifested in the services and good
1* A-O
results are expecwru.
Last Saturday evening: about eight
o'clock, surrounded by his entire
fnmily, Mr J P Grimsley passed into
the great beyond. Sunday afternoon,
with Masonic honors, the funeral
and burial took place at the Scranton
Baptist cemetery, the Rev J W
Arial officiating at the former. One
cf the largest crowds possible filled
the church and churchyard, an evidence
of the esteem in which the deceased
was held by his fellow men.
Besides his widow he leaves six small
children, three grown sons, two married
daughters and one single daughter
to mourn his sad death. The entire
community has expressed its
sympathy for the bereaved family
with many little acts of kindness.
The deceased had been a member
of the Masonic Lodge for nearly
twenty-five years, was also a member
of the Knights of Pythias and
Vio Wnndmpn. all of whom attended
the funeral. Many beautiful floral
offerings were received, also testifying
to the high esteem in which
the deceased was held by his brethren.
Mr J P Hutson of Kingstree spent
Sunday in town with his mother.
Mr J Hoyt Carter of Cadea, another
Lake City boy, also spent Sunday
in town with his mother.
Still another came home to enjoy
the day with his mother and sisters,
Mr S C Caldwell of Darlington.
Mrs K D Beard, a member of the
graded school faculty, recently resigned
her position, and on Saturday
morning left for an extended
trip. Mrs Beard has been suffering
for the past couple of months with
a slight indisposition and was unable
to assume the burden of her responsibilities
longer, without recuperating
from the effects of her
illness. Miss Janie Hinnant is filling
her position temporarily. The
many friends of "Mrs Katie" wish
*her a speedy recovery and return to
hpr fripnds here.
Miss Cecile Severance of Cheraw |

MR SPEIGNER EXTENDS THANKS
To All Wbo Contributed to tbe
Success of Field Day.
Editor County Record:?
Kindly allow me space in your
columns for the expression of the
appreciation of all connected with
the office of Superintendent of Education
to every one who contributed
in any measure to the success of
Field Day, March 26 and 27:
1. First of all to the people of
Kingstree who threw their homes
wide open to all visitors and did so
much to make their stay in our
midst pleasant; and to the ladies of
the town and other places in the
county who provided baskets and
lunches on Friday.
2. To the merchants and individuals
who gave prizes and cash
for the various contests.

stree school for the use of their
building and auditorium; to the
faculty of the Kingstree school for
their kindness in arranging and
helping with exhibits and decorating
the class rooms and auditorium.
Also we wish to thank the chorus of
young ladies, who with the assistance
of Miss Campbell, added so
much to the pleasure of all present,
and especially did we appreciate
and enjoy the violin solos of Mr
David Silverman on Friday evening.
4. To the boys of the Kingstree
school who worked so faithfully in
getting the track ready for the athletic
events.
5. To the gentlemen who acted as
timers in the track meet, Messrs
Tom McCutchen, H H King and M
F Heller; and especially to Messrs
David E McCutchen, T M Cooper
and S B Poston, for their faithfdl
work as judges in these contests.
In this connection we wish to ex
press our obligation ana gratitude
to Mr Paul Harper for his efficient
services both before and during the
meet. Mr Harper did more than
any other to make the athletic part
of the programme a success.
6. To the committee of ladies who
judged the exhibits, the committee
being composed of Mrs W D Daniel,
Misses Mabel Harper, Lula Easterling
and Louise Plowden.
7. To the committee acting as j udges
in the two declamation contests,
Hon Hartwell Ayer of Florence and
Mr J Frank Ligon of Columbia; to
Messrs W F Tolley, M A Shuler and
W H Welch, judges of the literary
contests.
8. To the office force of the

gramme on time.
Finally, an expression of appreciation
is due the teachers, pupils and
trustees of the several schools in
the county who have made possible
a successful Field Day. It is gratifying
that so many schools entered
contests and made exhibits of manual
training, cooking, needle work
and wood work. These exhibits
were most creditable and show that
our schools are really becoming an
important factor in the home life of
every community. The school spirit
manifested was great, and we believe
that the purpose of the day
was fully accomplished. We trust
you can agree with us in saying that
Field Day in Williamsburg was
worth all of the expense incurred
and effort put forth?that the day
has been justified. Let ui begin
now and plan for a greater Field
Day another year.

Columbia, March 25, 1914.
Supt R N Speigner,
Kingstree, S C.
Dear Mr Speigner:?
Several weeks ago I paid the term
extension aid to the weak school districts
of Williamsburg county. This
money was meant for use among the
one-teacher schools mainly.
Today I am forwarding your
county Treasurer a warrant for $1,700
in payment of the seven rural
graded school applications on file

from your office. Accept my hearty
congratulations upon this fine sign
of progress.
When Johnsonville voted its 12miil
special tax it was for some
time the banner district, not only of
Williamsburg county, but of the entire
State. The educational enthusisiasm
of this district has now spread
to other districts and to other counties,
so that a new type of rural
school is now springing up from the
mountains to the sea. The growth
of strong schools employing three
teachers will do more for rural education
than any other single force
in the State. The tendency in Williamsburg
indicates that soon onefourth
of your schools may be
emDloving an adequate corps of
teachers for a term of not less than
seven months. With State aid and
local taxation, there is no reason
why this standard should not be realized
in the near future.
I sincerely hope that no white
school in your county will run less
than six months during 1913-14. If
any weak school is closing for lack
of funds, it will be a pleasure to cooperate
with you in securing aid
from the contingent fund for needy
schools.
Yours respectfully,
J E SWEARINGEN,
State Sup't of Education.

The Ideal One Is a Mild Laxative Tonic
That Will Keep the Bowels
Gently Active.
Healthy old age is so absolutely
dependent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be
taken to see that they act regularly.
The fact is that as age advances the
stomach muscles become weak and
inactive and the liver does not store
up the juices that are necessary to
prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderlv people. One
thipg is certain, that a state of constipation
should always be avoided,
as it is dangerous to life and health.
The best plan is to take a mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary.
But with equal certainty it is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives,
physics, salts and pills be avoided, as:
they do but temporary good and are.
so harsh as to be a shock to a delicate
system.
A much better plan and one that:
thousands of elderly people are fol- j
lowing is to take a gentle laxative- j
tonic like Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which acts as nearly like nature
as is possible. In fact, the tendency
of this remedy is to strengthen the
stomach and bowel muscles and so
