I One of the interesting features of i the programme incident to the ! Field day celebration here last week I was the Better Baby contest held at the school building Thursday afternoon under the auspices of the local Civic league. The contest was under the direct charge of Miss Mary Frayser of Winthrop College. She was assisted by Drs Jacobs, Hemingway and Brockington, and while Dr R C McCabe looked after the dental interests of the little ones, Mrs B E Clarkson took care of their general welfare and comfort as trained nurse. The registration committee was composed of Mesdames L W Gilland, LeLoy Lee, W V Brockington, Misses Bessie Harper and Mamie Jacobs.^ Twenty-five babies were in the contest and each one received a careful examination. It was not a prize contest where prizes were awarded, but the babies were measured and otherwise examined for defects in development or physical ailments. If any were found to exist the mother was so informed and remedial methods suggested. One baby was found to have adenoids, the mother did not know it. She was advised as to what to do for the little one; another had diseased tonsils, in which case the mother was also admonished as to the proper treatment for her babe. This work is of inestimable value towards the development of better, bigger and stronger generations of men and women, and it is believed that the work here will be of great value to the mothers in properly caring for their little "cherubs." Friday morning at 9:30 Miss Frayser held a meeting at the school building and addressed a large audience on the subject of "Home Economics." She pointed out that the farmer had his reapers and binders, steam anu gasoline machinery to assist him in carrying on his operations with as little manual labor as possible, while his wife went to the well and drew water by hand. At 12:30 Miss Frayser met with the Home Keepers' clubs in the court house and made a most interesting talk to about 75 ladies who were present. The Home Keepers' clubs are composed at present of about sixty-five young ladies in the schools of Williamsburg county whose object it is to train the hand as well as the head. Cooking, sewing and general housework, done in the best and economic way,is their chief work. Miss Frayser was delighted with her visit to Kingstree and was highly pleased with the interest shown in her line of work. Barbecue and Fish Stew. Yesterday from 12 to 2 o'clock, Mr D J Epps was the genial host to a number of his friends in and out of Kingstree. Among the latter were a number of cotton oil men: Messrs A J McGuire, of the Buckeye Cotton Oil Co, Augusta, Ga; Russell Acre, Darlington Cotton Oil Co, Darlington; Albert Jordan, Hartsville Cotton Oil Co, Hartsyillc: A L Murphy, Swift Cotton Oil Co, Columbia; Capt J W St John, of the A A Co, Columbia, and Capt J U Lanham of Summerton. who were here as special guest3 of Mr Epps, who i3 also connected with the Buckeye Co.

At noon the party boarded the "Wanderer" and was taken about two miles up the river where it disembarked in a beautiful grove to find a number of men cleaning fish and barbecuing a nice shoat. Shortly afterward a wagon arrived loaded down with rice, bread and coffee, which the good wife of the host had prepared. By 1 o'clock three or four hundred fish were cooked and ready for serving. In the meantime many good jokes were told by the sages of the party to the enjoyment of the rest of tfie crowd. After the delightful feast had been partaken of, the party boarded the "Wanderer," giving three cheers for their hospitable host, and returned to Kingstree. Mrs. YV. E. Thompson Dead.

EVER SALIVATED BY CALOMEL? HORRIBLE! Calomel Is Quicksilver and Acts Like Dynamite on Your Liver. Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour hue liKe dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone,which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and cannot salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you fepl great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe. CADES BANK ELECTS OFFICERS. W. E. Nesmith, President?T. J.
