by Mr Alex Blakeley and Miss Hazel
1 Strong. The teacher was Mr Ed|
win Hurt. In this contest the booby
prize was won by Mr Blakeley, while

the prize.

Information comes to us from va;
rious sections of the county to the >
i effect that tobacco plants are mak- J
| ing poor progress, due to^so much
and an editorial article to boot, if t
they so desire; but we can promise j
this concession only one t;*ne, and c
that just to let some of them behold j
themselves in the mirror of criti- v
cism. We are glad to say, however,
that only one or two have thus crit- j
icised our use of the "blue pencil" f
and these are the ones we shall be j
pleased to have go as far as they r
like for one issue. After that we fear j
the novelty would wear off. t

Should Not Feel Discouraged.
So many people troubled with indigestion
and constipation have been
benefited by taking Chamberlain's
Tablets that no one should feel dis- I
couraged who has not given them a \
trial. They contain no pepsin or other ]
digestive ferments but strengthen :
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Obtain- J
able everywhere.

Children's Bureau. \
The children's bureau at Washing- .
ton has appointed a social service ex
pert, to make sure of having a generally
equipped person to take up effectively
such topics as juvenile '
courts, broken family relations, feeble- -
minded children, with an understanding
of the importance of their industrial.
civic and social inter-relations.
All of these topics are touched upon 1
in the act establishing the bureau.

cold weather since the beds were
planted. The plants are very small
and said to be several weeks behind
in growth, although there is an n
abundance of them and so far we 11
have heard of none being completely s
killed by the cold weather. It is Q
generally believed, however, that j
the fruit crop has been annihilated
by the heavy frosts since the trees a
came into blossom. t
Our good friend,Mr H L Whitlock c
of Lake City, was in Kingstree Mon- ?
day,and while his usual jovial nature
was at its height, he complained to .
us that a number of people through
out the county were buying lightning
rods from strange and foreign a
concerns, when, he said, they could a
get a better rod at less cost and on ?
better terms from him. and at the
same time always be able to locate
"thei# man", if his work should r
prove unsatisfactory. Mr Whitlock 11
advertises in The County Record and a
we commend him to our readers who
anticipate the purchase of lightning c
rods.

How To Give Quinine To Children.
PEBRILTNE is the trade-mark name given to an
mproved Quinine. It is a Tasteless Syrup, pleas*
ant to take and does not disturb the stomach.
Children take it and never knbw it is Quinine,
also especially adapted to adults who cannot
take ordinary Quinine. Does not nauseate nor
:ause nervousness nor ringing in the head. Try
It the next time you need Quinine for any pur*
pose. Ask for 2-ounce original package. The
lame FBBRILINB is blown in botUe. tS cents.
nto this undertaking for the sake of
inancial gain,but for the purpose of
jroviding for the people of ourcomnunity
an event of such magnitude
is would not have been possible had
hey not assumed the necessary guartntee
covering the expense. They
vill feel amply compensated if the
Chautauqua prove to . be the means
>f giving their fellow-citizens three
lays of unusually attractive, and
ret at the same time, wholesome
ind decent entertainment.
The people of King3tree and vicinty
should, by all means, give these
fentlemen their most cordial sup>ort
and co-operation, for, if they
lo, it will, doubtless, stimulate the
eaders in this movement, as well as
nany other of our public spirited
;ownsmen,to enter into other underakings
for the good of our town.
This is the spirit that builds up the
imall town, and makes it possible
for it to become in a few years a
jplendid city. The less we show of
selfishness, and the more we get together
and pull together, the more
apid will be our town's progress.
Every citizen owes something to the
;own in which he lives. He draws
jpon its resources for his living, and
:or the maintenance of his family,
md for the success of his business.
He is a bad citizen who is continuilly
drawing on the town's resources
Tbe Chautauqua. '
Nothing in the way of entertain- j
nents that has over been attempted
n this town has aroused such widepread
interest as the Booster Club
Chautauqua to be held on April 12,
3 and 14. The bringing of these
ttractions to Kingstree is due to
he public spirit of a number of our
itizens who have entered into the
ontract with W L Radcliffe of
Vashington, DC, who is well-known
hroughout the country,and especialy
in the South, as manager of the
>ig music festivals. Mr Radcliffe is
,lso always selected as manager for
,11 the concert tours made by the
amous United States Marine Band,
mown as the President's pana.
The three-day Chautauqua progamme
to be given here includes a
lumber of noted lecturers, concert
ind entertainment companies wellmown
to Chautauqua patrons all
?ver the United States. Aside from
he purpose of presenting progammes
of the most entertaining
iharacter, one of the chief purposes
>f the Chautauqua is to promote, in
iach town in which it is held, a
rreater spirit of community co peration.
Already Kingstree is beginning
to feel this influence, for
he gentlemen who are promoting
he Chautauqua are heartily workng
together and are receiving the
:o-operation of all their fellow citzens
who are interested in the development
of our town.
