MORGAN, THE HUSTLER, Will Be On The Firing Line Again This Season. I want to say to my many friends of Williamsburg and adjoining counties that I will be in Kingstree the coming tobacco season. At one time I thought that I would not be able to offer you my humble services, but Providence stepped in and opened up a new avenue, Mr Kellahan having purchased the old Gorrell warehouse site will erect thereon an up-todate warehouse, 87 ft by 150 ft, being the largest warehouse in Kingstree so far. I have had the good fortune to lease it from him for a term of years. I wish to say "here, I greatly appreciate the loyalty which so many of you good farmers have manifested toward me in the past. 1 have tried to do my best in protecting your interest, and, be lieve me, it shall always be my | mot to to render you the very best j service that I am capable of in obtaining for you the very best prices 1 for your tobacco. I will be on the I ground by June 1 and will see you ' all before the market opens. I hope you will be able to put out a good : sized crop of tobacco, for I think it! will bring a paying price this season. Again wishing to thank you for ! your patronage for the past two seasons and hoping to merit a continuance of your support, I am your very best friend in the tobacco business, E L Morgan, j NEW BAPTIST < FORM Rev. E. Pendleton Jones Opening Sermon to II All Local Ministers Participa Work of Pastor?Speci It is indeed an unusual occurrence that the citizens of a town the size J of Kingstree have the opportunity of witnessing, within a space of two years time, the opening .of three; handsome new houses of worship such as adorn our little town today. On Easter Sunday, April 7, 1912, the Methodists opened their handsome new church in the presence of! the united congregations of the town. At that time little, if anything, was said or heard concerning the erection of a new Presbyterian or Baptist church, although the congregation of each keenly realized the j need of a new and larger house in which to meet and worship God. Almost a year passed and still therer > i 1__? u..:iJ I naa oeen uu ueuimt: piaus ior uuuuing determined upon. A little later, however, both the Presbyterians and Baptists adopted plans and began the erection of new churches. On Sunday, January 25, the Presbyterians held their formal opening and a delighful occasion it was. 1 - On Sunday morning, April 5. less ' than two years following the opening the Methodist church, the splendid new house of worship erected by the Baptist denomination was formally opened. So at this Easter season the Christian people of Kingstree should feel that the spirit of the Lord has been abun- j dantly in their midst, and they should especially praise His name. The opening of the Baptist church here Sunday was a most glorious occasion for the members of the cult in this vicinity, and came as the fulfilment of a long, earnest desire on the part of each and every member that they might have a suitable house in which to worship, and also as a crowning reward for the hard, J earnest work of the pastor, Rev W E j Hurt,to whose untiring efforts,more: than to any other, the new church owes its completion. The building of this magnificent church was not altogether accomplished by the Baptist denomination, as Mr Hurt assured his large congregation Sunday, when he expressed his profound thanks to the people of Kingstree, regardless of denomi-1 nation, for the liberal support and ! co-operation shown him since the! nnfWtflUincr nf the new building.! He reminded his hearers that the j building of the first Baptist church in Williamsburg county was made possible by a good Presbyterian elder, and stated that that denomination had liberally contributed towards the building of the present temple. Methodists, Episcopalians, and members of other denominations who have no church here, likewise contributed liberally. Several days in advance preparations for the opening of the church were under way. A large choir of the best singers in town practiced special music, and the pastor, Mr Hurt, was busy securing representative men of the Baptist faith from other parts of the State to assist him upon the occasion, and in arranging the lesser details, which he did most minutely. CHURCH i ALLY OPENED.j of Newberry Preaches nited Congregations. ite in the Service and Praise al Musical Programme. The speaker of the occasion was the Rev Dr E Fendleton Jones, of Newberry. The Rev Dr W T Derieux, secretary of the State missionary board of the Baptist church, of Greenville was also present, and on behalf of the Baptists of the State expressed his appreciation of the handson. z building and congratulated the pastor and the people of the town nnon their sDlendid work in its erection. The Rev D A Phillips, of the Methodist church, and the Rev P S McChesney, of the Presbyterian church, occupied seats in the pulpit, and each spoke earnestly and feelingly of the spirit of Christian unity that prevailed in the Kingstree churches and in every movement that tended to the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God. They congratu-l lated the membership of the church and especially commended the efforts of the pastor in carrying the work to such a successful completion. There are several this writer ! 1 Essai BSB^n HHBi ' ,tSJ would like to speak about here in connection with the building of this beautiful sanctuary, but for fear of tresspassing upon their modesty, will defer the mention of but one? that one is Mr C M Hinds -whose i i. i? i 4-u~ very ueuri. uas uceu iu iuc num since its inception, and the golden glow that marked his kindly countenance Sunday as he sat there, surrounded by a Methodist, Presbyterian, Hebrew and Episcopalian, was only a little outward indication of his joy. Services at all the other churches were suspended for the day, and the Presbyterians, Methodists and Episcopalians joined heartily in celebrating with the Baptists, as was the case at the opening of th ^ new Presbyterian and Methodist churches. The auditorium and Sunday-school room, which is divided by portieres, was filled until scarcely standing room remained. The music of the choir was excellent, while the violin solo by Mr Dave Silverman, accompanied by Miss Estelle Campbell at the piano, deserves special mention. Mr Samuel Carr, the accomplished pianist, also played two beautiful selections. The sermon by Dr E Pendleton Jones was from the gospel of St Luke, "The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me." It was a masterful nrvrvvAnriofn onrl UlSUUUidt:, uuuii&ij uuu delivered with all the characteristic earnestness, vim and solemnity of the speaker's nature. At 3:30 in the afternoon Dr Derieux spoke to a good congregation, when Messrs John Brown and J D Gamble were installed as deacons of the church. The usual monthly union service was conducted at night, when Dr Jones again preachen a powerful sermon. The arrangement of the church is simple and convenient with ample openings for entrance and exit without ever overcrowding. In addition to the auditorium and Sundayschool rooms the building is provid-: ed with a pastor's study and a la-1 WILLIAMSBURG'S PENSION ROLL Wearers ol the Gray for Wh >m a G rafcful State Makes Provision j j The following list, which hasj.ist been issued by the State Pension Department at Columbia,constitu tes the pension roll of Williamsburg county for the year 1914: CLASS A.

In spite of the greatest personal care and the most intelligent attention to diet, babies and children will become constipated, and it is a fact that constipation and indigestion have wrecked many a young life. To start with a good digestive ap-1 paratus is to start life without handicap. But, as we cannot all have perfect working bowels,we must do the next hpst fhincr nnH arnnirp thpm or train them to become healthy. This can begone by the use of a laxative- j tonic very highly recommended by a great many mothers. The remedy ' is called Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin i' and has been on the market for two j generations. It can be bought con- J s veniently at any drug store for fifty ; | cents or one dollar a bottle, and those who are already convinced of! its merits buy the dollar size. ? Its mildness makes it the ideal 1 medicine for children, and it is also i very pleasant to the taste. It is sure \ in its effect, and genuinely harmless. 1 Very little of it is required and its i frequent use does not cause it to < lose its effect, as is the case with so i many other remedies. t Thousands can testify to its merits in constipation, indigestion, bilious- s ness.sick headaches, etc, among them 1 reliable people like Mrs James R 1 Rouse of Marinette, Wis.
