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

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.

The speaker of the occasion was the

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.

that one is Mr C M Hinds -whose

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

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-:

Baby Laxative.
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
