fell to the end of her train,
She met the groom at the altar,
where they were pronounced man

The bridesmaids and the groomsmen
entered singly,crossing in front
of an arch, forming a semicircle
on the inside of the rostrum,
i The former were gowned in embroidered
net dresses over yellow
messaline, carrying armfuls of yellow

The color scheme was pink and
green. The numerous and handsome
presents were displayed in the
front room.
The dining-room decorations were
yellow and green, the table in the
centre being prettily decorated with
streamers of yellow tulle from the
four corners to the center of the
room and up to the chandelier above.
On the large mirror in the centre of
the table a vase of yellow roses ac
centuated the beauty of the scene.
On this table were the bride's cake

the ring, thimble, dime, button, etc.
The opening of these sealed baskets
afforded much amusement to the
bridesmaids and the groomsmen. A
salad course, cake and punch was
served.
Shortly thereafter the bride changed
her wedding gown for a Belgian
blue silk poplin suit with accessories
1 to match, and the happy couple took
their departure for Kingstree to

| FOR BETTER BABIES.
I Twenty-five Infants Examined
I Here Field Day by Experts.
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

Dr W L Taylor and Hon R H Kellahan.
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

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.

such atmospheric phenomena in

storm was accompanied by severe
thunder and lightning and the force
of the wind increased, blowing down
fences and demolishing several outbuildings

from the hail and the pea

are believed to be seriously damaged.
The Kingstree High and Graded
