- W EDITOR CUNNIK6UAM REVISITS KINGSTREE. AMAZED AT WONDERFUL PROGRESS TIME HAS WROUGHT IN "OLD-NEW" TOWN. The editor had the pleasure of attending as a delegate the spring meeting of Harmony Presbytery, which met at Kingstree.his old home, last week. Most of the delegates reached Kingstree on the noon train from Sumter and were met at the depot by a committee which had autos there to convey them to the different homes which were thrown wide open to receive them. The editor, Mrs Cunningham and Dr W J McCoy had the pleasure of riding with that princt of good fellows, Mr D James Epps. Well, it was simply amazing to ride over the old town as the editor and his better half could picture it in their minds as it was twenty-eight years ago when they left it and moved to the upper part of the State,and now to see the new town as it has spread out, and where only a few years ago were -corn and cotton fields are now beautiful wide streets and elegant homes. One is struck with the thrift and enterprise of the old town that had been sleeping for years, but since the i light of progress and modern awakening.she has rushed forward with a speed that beggars description. There are but few of the old landmarks leftmost of which are the old Nelson House and the residences of Ex-Solicitor Gilland and Dr D C Scott, the old Jacobs' home and the court house. About five years ago the Methodists were the first to tear down their old church and erect instead a commodious brick structure .costing $1&000. Last year the Presbyterians rolled aside their little chapel, which had become too small for the needs of the church, and have erected a handsome brick church with a seating capacity for - X * ? - . five hundred* with Sunday-eehoo] rooms underneath and elegantly fitted up with the latest models in heating apparatus, a sweet-toned pipe organ already installed,the floor ' covered with an elegant Brussels carpet and the seats and other furnishings of plain oak that harmonize so nicely the one ?rith the other. The best part of it all, it was done at a cost of only $15,000. The secret ?it was a turn-key job and they had a building committee that was "on the job," so that a brick of inferior quality or a shoddy piece of work was not allowed. While Presbytery was in session, the Baptists were conducting the dedicatory exercises of their new church, which has just been completed at a cost of about fifteen or sixteen thousand dollars. We could not get the exact figures. A pleasing feature is that each is in sight of the other and their designs so very different. The Metho dist is massive, with tali towers and spires; the Presbyterian, plain roof, with cupola and large columns in front,with cement 8tep6 running the entire width of building. The Baptist, in addition to the main body of the church,has Sunday-school rooms, ladies' rest rooms and pastor's study, all of which give pleasing effect. Kingstree has,not yards of cement sidewalk pavement, but miles of it. It is not put down just in front of a few dwellings,but wherever there is a vacant lot,if it extended sometimes a whole block, it was put there also, so that the sidewalk may be continuous. The town bears half the expense and the property owners the other. There are three or four large tobacco warehouses and there lies the secret of Kingstree's phenomenal growth?tobacco and trucking as side crops to cotton and corn. Thirty years ago the only brick buildings in the town were the court house and one small brick store; today there are forty or more, some of them three stories high, with several not completed, a large concrete warehouse for storing cotton, three , banks, all doing a nice business, an up-to-date graded school building. J Two cotton ginneries and an oil mil);' electric lights, water-works and sewerage are some of the enterprises of this "old-new" town. What is Woma Beai And tbe Basis of Her Health and Vigor Lies in the Careful Regulation of the Bowels. If a woman's beauty depended upon cosmetics, every woman would be a picture of loveliness. Hut beauty lies deeper than that. It lies in health. In the majority of cases the basis of health, and the cause 01 | sickness, can be traced to the action of the bowels. The headaches, the lassitude, the j sallow skin and the lu9terless eyes i are usually due to constipation. So many things that women do habitu-1 ally conduce to this trouble. They do not eat carefully, they eat indi-1 gestible foods because the foods are served daintily and they do not exercise enough. But whatever the particular cause may be it is important that the condition should be corrected. An ideal remedy for women, and nnp Mneeiallv suited to their deli cate requirements, is Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which thousands of women enorse highly, among them Mrs C S Vance, of 511 S Ray St, New Castle, Pa. At times she had spells of indigestion so severe that she thought she would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her stomach and bowels,"and she attributes her excellent health today to this remedy. All the family can use Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of mothers give it to babies and children. It is also admirably suited to the requirements of elderly people, in fact to all who by reason of age or infirmity cannot stand As most of the old houses have j disappeared,so, also, most of the old i citizens have crossed over the river. While it was a great pleasure to meet with loved ones and dear friends, yet there was a sadness we could not throw off, because only a few are left to greet us. Indeed, we were almost strangers on our native heath. Dave (Dr) Scott, Diek Kellahan.Mike Heller,Jackie (Dr) Brock ington, Geo Graham, Johnnie Montgomery, John Scott,Charlie (Editor) Wolfe,Cap Staekley, Jas Porter, are about all of the old citizens doing business there when we left who are still there in business. PRESBYTERY riArj.gn TO ORDER. At 8 o'clock Tuesday evening the Presbytery was called to order bv the retiring moderator, Rev H C Hammond of Mt Zion. After the routine business of enrolling delegates, Mr Hammond preached a forceful but unique sermon, his subject being Luke's introductory to the Gospel. It was fine and was listened to with a great deal of interest. Rev W S Trimble, of the Sum?trtaa . LUCrtUU UlUIUiyWOO CJCVM.U luvuvmir or and presided with ease and dignity. Rev W H Workman, clerk, and Rev W I Sinnott,assistant clerk. Wednesday morning Rev J P Marion preached the devotional sermon, after which the reports from the various churches were read and committees appointed. At evening session Dr Parker of Georgetown spoke on home missions and his work in that field in Georgetown county. He was followed by Rev Messrs Forbis of Bethune, McCord of Manning and Legters of Bishopville in soulstirring addresses along the same line to a large and deeply interested audience. Thursday morning, after devotional exercises,the reports of stand ?"? nnmmittooq vaaro hpflrH flnd an. 1U? WiUUKVWVu ft V* v AavaMt* ?? ?r proved. Eleven o'clock was the hour set to elect delegates to the General Assembly which meets in Kansas City in May. Rev W S Trimble, the moderator,was elected delegate from the clergy and Mr J H Chandler of Sumter lay delegate. Bishopville put in a bid for the fall meeting of Presbytery,but Lake City having been promised it at the last meeting, and being one of the weak churches, Presbytery will meet there next fall. No further business, the clerk called the roll and Harmony Presbytery adjourned Thursday afternoon. Solicitor Philip Stoll took the editor, Mr J H Chandler and Lillie, Cunningham and drove them in his splendid auto down to the old home j of Dr Cunningham, where we all, dined Thursday. The Doctor is 83 years old and, with the exception of being very deaf, is remarkably spry.1 Usually it is an all-day journey from ' ? m s aty but Health?

You will find it gentle in action, pleasant in taste, and free from griping, and its tonic properties have a distinct value to women.
