THURSDAY, APRllT8. 1915,
The Chautauqua.
fivery citizen of Williamsburg
who is interested in the progress and
development of our county should
take an interest in the Chautauqua
to be held at Kingstree and Johnson
ville the whole of next week,
opening here Monday for three days
and closing at Johnsonville Saturday,
after three days' entertainment
there.
This Chautauqua is sent out by
theRadcliffe Bureau, the well-known
amusement company of Washington,
D C, and consists of a large
company of artists of the highest
talent each in his or her respective
line. There is something for everybody
in the way of mental pabulum,
old and young, large and small, the
repertory of the company including
numbers to appeal to every one's
taste and fancy. For the children
especially there is a delightful prog
rum me, including feats of magicians,
impersonators, musicians, while for
the grown-up folk there is a complete
programme daily embracing
.an almost endless variety of subjects,
"from grave to gay, from
lively to serene." There is nothing
coarse or suggestive about any of
the acts, but the entire programme
is clean and wholesome.
This is the first Chautauqua that
has ever visited Williamsburg county
and the people should show their
appreciation by liberally patronizing
it, so that it may become an
annual event.
The Chautauqua was made possible
here by a number of the liberal
and public-spirited business
men of the town assuming the responsibility
of a substantial guarantee
to the Radcliffe company. These
roon rtn nnf PTrwt. tr? mntf* a r??>nt
out of the enterprise, their whole
object being to bring the people of
town and county together to meet
and mingle, looking to an increase
of community spirit.
The farmers of the county are
cordially invited to hear Hon E J
Watson, Commissioner of Agriculture,
who will deliver an address
especially to farmers during the
Chautauqua. These are times when
the farmers need good, sound, practical
advice and probably no one in
the State is better fitted to give them
"helpful suggestions at this juncture
than Commissioner Watson.
Show by your presence your approval
and co-operation on behalf
of the efforts of the men who have

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
April 12, 13 and 14.
Fires here in their frequency are
like homicides in Kentucky were a
few years ago. Two neighbors meet
and greet each other: "Heard
about the killing," says one. "Yes,
Bill Jones, you mean?" "No, not
Bill Jones," replied the other,
"Bill was killed day before yesterday;
I mean the killing yesterday!"

Better Baby Contest. c
A better baby contest, or baby *
health contest, will be conducted in
, the class rooms of the Kingstree e
Graded school Thursday afternoon *
< of next week under the auspices of
the Civic league. The object of this e
better health contest is to arouse in- ?

tion to the importance of childhood, J
especially the physical welfare of *
the child. This contest is altogether t
different from the former "Beauty 1
Show" and is helpful and educa- c
tional. At these contests the babies '
1 are examined by physicians and rated
according to the score card, and s
parents are informed as to the phys- r
ical condition of the child; they are J
told what to do to remedy the de
fects. Your child has a right to J
health which means efficiency and ^

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver. When calomel comes into
ontact with sour bile it crashes into
t, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, conitipated
and all knocked out, just go
o your druggist and get a 50 cent
)ottle of Dodson's Liver Tone,which
s a harmless vegetable substitute for
langerous calomel. Take a spoon'ul

pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure In all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
