! most elaborate feasts that, perhaps,
has ever taken place within the confines
of this widely known little
junction on the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad. About thirty relatives
j and inyited quests sat down to a
; table d' hote dinner in the dining;

Mr A G Trenholm, engineer of
the Home Telephone Co at Georgetown,
was in Kingstree last week
'looking over the local company's
; 1 plant preparatory to making several
, < changes in the system, the most im,
portant of which will be, perhaps,
, the placing of all telephone wires in
the main section of town into underground
cables. There will be in
?; all about 7,000 feet of lead cable of
I | various dimensions put down, which
II will extend from the company's new
t Vis\mo nn onntK A r?oHemv strPPt to
the corner of Brook? street, from
' this point down Brooks street to the
railroad; and from Harper's shop* on
East Main street to the corner of
i Jail street on West Main street.
This new system will enable the local
company to give its subscribers
in the cable district a metallic service
instead of a grounded service as at
, present, and will also do away with
all telephone poles and overhead
wires in the district.

CALOMEL SALIVATES ,

Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose
a Day's Work.
There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating
calomel when 50 cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone?a
nprfeet substitute for calomel.
it is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as i
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folk can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. 1
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
day's work, Take a spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone instead and i
you will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation, sluggishness,
headache, coated tongue !
or sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don't find Dodson's Liver
Tone acts better than horrible cal- :
omel your money is waiting for you.
