These cards are to be paid for cash, r as it takes too much book-keeping to charge them. , Mr G F Williamson, of the Spring Bank neighborhood, was taken to an infirmary at Florence Tuesday. He was in Kingstree Monday apparently in perfect health. Appen. dicitis is said to be the cause of his illness and an operation was performed Wednesday.

Once more we beg to call the ats tention of our friends to our rule not to accept for publication in the ) current issue of the paper any article of length that reaches our office later than 12 o'clock m., Tuesday of 3 the week of publication; also, we re' spectfully remind our friends that we do not publish any article of any f kind free but one time; also, that all a rvf onforfoinmpnl'? nr invitfl UUUVCO UX CUW< MXM...V..VW tions pertaining to entertainments ? where admission is charged and a all obituaries, resolutions of re3 spect, political notices, etc, etc, are . charged for at advertising rates. 1 This applies to everybody. tf The Wee Nee bank has moved in? to its new home at the corner of . Main and Academy streets. One j would hardly recognize this modern . new banking house as the old Stack2 ley store since so many changes 2 have been made both in the exterior and interior arrangement of the building. The furniture and fixtures 1 are of mahogany and gray marble, s and represent the latent designs in - banking house fixtures. The busi" ness of the bank had long since out1 grown its quarters near the rail ? road, and the acquisition and occupation of this new home is but an? other indication of the substantial 1 progress of Kingstree and the sur, rounding community. i i Cure for Siomach Disorders.

MEETING OF OEM. COUNTY CONVENTION. NINETEEN CLUBS REPRESENTED BY 101 DELEGATES?FOUR NEW CLUBS-PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL The Democratic county convention met here at 12 o'clock in the court house Monday. There were present 101 delegates, representing nlnhs at the follnwinc votinc Dre cincts: Kingstree, Morrisville,Cades, Black River, Suttons, Greelyville, Bloomingvale, Earles, Taft, Salters, Indiantown, Trio, Cedar Swamp, Poplar Hill, Central, Muddy. Creek, Rough Branch, Hebron and Lenud. The following new clubs were reported: Bethel, Johnsonville, Workman and Hemingway. These clubs were admitted as units of the county organization, their delegates en! tered on the roll of the convention > t-> rv.i. n: j ana H^atea. rergamus, ua*. ruuge and Altman clubs were not represented. P H Stoll, Esq, was elected permanent president of the convention and A C Hin^s, Esq, secretary. A solid anti-Blease delegation was chosen to represent this county in the State convention. The following named gentlemen were placed in nomination: J H Pratt, B B Chandler, J J Snow, I N Boyd, E C Epps, D G Huggins* W T Rowell, Hugh McCutchen, J R Barrow, S B Poston, W E Nesmith, Dr A G Eadriy, G M Beasley, T 0 Epps, J A McCullough, Dr W C Hemingway, L F Rhem, N M Venters. These were elected by a majority vote on the first ballot: E C Epps.Kingstree; Dr J H Pratt, Nesmith; Hugh McCutchen, Kingstree; S B Poston, Johnsonville; Dr I N Boyd, Greelyville; B B Chandler. Rome; W E Nesmith, Kingstree, and G M Beasley, Gourdins. P H Stoll was re-elected member ber of the State Executive committee. A resolution offered by Mr J J Snow of Rome, proposing changes in the primary system was eliminated after considerable discussion. The resolution was defeated on the ground that there was no fraud practiced in the primaries of this county; that practically the same I rules as provided tor in tne resoiu[ tion did not prevent fraud in Charleston and other large voting centres of the State. The delegates to the State convention were authorized to support any measures that might be brought before the convention for the safeguarding of the primary system. The county executive committee met at 3:30 in the afternoon with Mr Stoll in the chair. A resolution wa3 passed putting candidates for magistrate in the primary. Candidates for the various county offices to be elected this year were assessed as follows: For the Senate, $20; House, $10; County Treasurer, $20; Auditor, $20; Superintendent of Education, $25; Road Engineer, $25; Magistrate of Kingstree. $5; other Magistrates, $2.50. The meeting was largely attended and harmony prevailed. P H Stoll was re-elected county chairman and A C Hinds secretary. The committee named Kingstree, Greelyville, Trio, Morrisville, Hebron and Muddy Creek precincts as places for holding campaign meetings. The dates for these meetings will be named later. Before adjourning a motion was adopted whereby the selection of managers is to be made by executive committeemen instead of by club presidents as heretofore. The names of those selected by the various club executive committemen are to be forwarded to County Chairman Stoll for publication at least three weeks prior to the date of the first primary.

I Work on the numerous new buildings going up in Kingstree is progressing favorably and most of them ' are now undergoing the finishing touches. Mr Chas H Singleton has a large force of workmen on the buildings ! of Mr W H Carr and the Peoples Mercantile Co, the former to be : occupied by the Kingstree Hardware Co, and they are pushing the work rapidly, so that these concerns can move into their new quarters before the opening of the tobacco season in Julv. The new tobacco warehouse that is being built in the Nelson addition for Mr M R Gass is already rounding into shape, and will be ready for business by the time "first primings" are marketed. Contractor Singleton has recently started work on a handsome new residence for Mr L C Montgomery, on Hampton avenue. The foundation has been laid and the framing timbers are now being put up. The pretty new home of Dr and Mrs R C McCabe, on the northwest edge of town, is about ready for occupancy. The location and surroundings of this new home add much to its attractiveness, ana we believe "Doc" will have plenty of space for his fine poultry. The large new brick warehouse being built by Mr R H Kellahan on the site of the old Gorrell warehouse is nearing completion, and the Central warehouse on the opposite side of Hampton avenue has been completed and is ready for use. At present it is being used as a roller skating rink. Dr R J McCabe and Mr L T Thompson are remodeling and painting up the store room of the McCabe building on Main street with i a view to opening up a moving pic ! ture show. Work on the new store rooms under construction by Dr D C Scott and Mr R H Kellahan on Academy street, opposite the postoffice, is progressing nicely and will be ready for use by the middle of June. Little Doing In County Politics. The political horizon in Williamsburg is, as yet, practically clear. So far only a few gentlemen have announced their intention of becoming candidates for county offices. It is, however, generally presumed that all old office holders,whose offices are to be filled at the election this fall, will be in the race for re-election. To date there is a dearth of new candidates, notwithstanding the fact that the "road is wide and clear," as a candidate said the other day to a probable opponent. It is rumored that there will be several aspirants in the race for Road Engineer. Only one, so far, has openly an' nounced himself. It is believed that there will be no opposition in the field to Mr Cook for County Treasurer, while it is probable that Mr Montgomery will be opposed for Auditor. Mr Speigner announces his candidacy this week for re-election to the office of County Superintendent of Education. There are no other aspirants for this post that we know of at present, although the names of several have been mentioned by their friends as probable candidates. It is entirely problematical just now as to how the candidates for the House of Representatives will line up in the first primary. The names of several new men have I been mentioned in connection with t^i'o nffioo onrl if is jrenerallv be WtJIO U1U\.V J Mt*v* ? D , lieved that each of the old members will stand for re-election. There are several who want to go the Senate, and considerable talk is heard with regard to this office, but no one has yet openly" announced himself as being in the race. The field to select from in Williamsburg is large and the season is ripe for work. Notice.
