The revival services that have been , going on at the Baptist church here for the past ten days, conducted by Dr John Jeter Hurt, will be broughtj to a close tonight. Dr Hurt is a very able preacher and his sermons have made a deep impression upon t those who heard him. During his < stay here he has made many person- 1 al friends and is most favorably im- i pressed with Kingstree and its peo- ] pie. i Eight years ago a storm swept over Williamsburg county with dis- ] astrous results to the cotton crop. 1 Today the European war is playing havoc with our cotton market. In < the latter case,however, we have the i satisfaction of "possessing the < goods" and the expectation of getting a price for them later on, while in the former we had neither. Cheer i up, Mr Farmer, the situation could j i be worse. j * Catting Aftray at Cades. Hugh Harpoon of Cades was lodged in jail here last Friday evening on the charge of assulting another negro, Foster Davis, whom he seriously cut with a knife. The facts in the case show that Davis had taken a meal at a negro restaurI ant at Cades and when he went to; settle he thought the woman in the I place charged him too much for what he had eaten. He paid what he thought was enough and refused to nav more, whereupon he was at tacked by several women. In the mixup he knocked down one of the^ women, then ran to the depot and, boarded train No. 47. In the meantime Hariison, whose wife is said to have been knocked down by Davis, heard of the fracus and followed Foster on the train where he assaulted him with a knife, ripping openj the abdomen of his victim. Harri-1 3on was at once arrested by the conductor tfnd both were brought to Kingstree. Davis was turned over to Dr W V Brockington, who summoned Drs Kelley and Hemingway to take charge of the case. Harrison was handed over to Chief of Police Epps and was lodged in jail where he now awaits the action of the Grand Jury. Davis was so badly cut that his bowels came out into his clothing. Dr Kelley informs us, however.that the negro will recover. Jury List.

WHEN YOU IRE NERVOUS you have the first symptom of a run-down system, and nervous people too often conceal their aches and pains and suffer in silence, while, if neglected, this condition often foreruns more serious trouble. If those so afflicted would stop taking medicine containing alcohol or drugs which menace the foundations of health, and just take the pure, strengthening nourishment in Scott's Emulsion, it would create new blood to pulsate through the organs, refresh their bodies and build up the whole nervous system.
