The pretty little park at the head of Academy street in North Kingstree, to be known as the Kellahan Play Ground,will be formally opened tomorrow afternoon, when cake and lemonade will be served from 5 to 6 o'clock free by the ladies of the Civic league to the children of the town. For the past three days workmen have been engaged putting up swings, see-saws and benches, and. from early in the morning until late in the evening the small tots are to be seen there takftfg advantage of the devices erected for their enjoyment. '' There is still plenty of room in the park for other play-ground devices, but as there is no fund in hand by the ladies in charge of the ground for the purchase of such, it is hoped that our public-spirited citizens will get together and donate a few swings, a buck board, a merry-go-round or anything else that will assist in the healthful, innocent amusement of Kingstree's little folk, a class and number of which no town of equal io OA liKavoll 17 OILC 10 OU 14 Wt Mltj vivouyui The park is named in honor of the donor, Hon R H Kellahan, who a year or so ago deeded the beautiful plot to the town of Kingstree for the purpose which it is now serving?a play-ground for white children. 1 Mrs LeRoy Lee and other ladies of the Civic league have been very active in getting the ground in shape. A fountain has been placed in the center of the park and all undesirable growth removed. Already it is conspicuous as a place of recreation and amusement . for the children of town.

BUILDING PROGRESS. Several New Structures Already Completed This Spring. Kingstree is still growing. The past two years, 1913-14,were recordbreakers in the building progress of the old town, but already this year several very nice residences and one factory building have been put up, while prospects for the construction of several other residences and one i or two tobacco prize nouses are ue-: tnpr encouragingly considered. Messrs Singleton and Alsbrook! have recently completed far Hon R j H Keilahan a very attractive seven-j room dwelling in North Kirfgstree, ' which is occupied by Mr W F Tolley.1 Phis firm lias also about completed a handsome five-room cottage on the: same street, opposite the Presby-j terian i^anse, for Rev P S McChes-j ney, which will soon be occupied by | Mr W H Welch, manager of the Kingstree Insurance, Real Estate & Loan Co. The material and workmanship in these buildings are good; they are fitted with modern conveniences; the architectural lines are attractive and add considerably to that beautiful portion of the town. % The store rooms on Academy street now accupied by the Kingstree Furniture Company and the Silverman Department Store, respectively, have recently been thoroughly overhauled and repaired by the owner, Hon R H Kellahan. Messrs Singleton and Alsbrook,incorporated under the~ name of the Kingstree Manufacturing and Construction Co, have completed the erection of their plant on Hampton avenue, opposite the Kingstree Hardware uo s store, ana a quantity of wood working machinery has been receiyed and will soon be installed. When this plant is put into operation, the manufacture of coffins and caskets will be gone into in addition to getting out such wood work as the proprietors jnay need in connection with their building operations as contractors. It is very probable that Messr3 Thos McCutchen and L C Dove will have new homes built here during the summer. The Messrs Hirsch have had considerable work done by way of improvement on the Academy street cottage near the Methodist church acquired by them last fall from Hon R H Kellahan, preparatory to making it their permanent residence. It will probably be ready for occupancy by the middle of June. Watch Kingstree's Progress. "Bines'* Give Banqnent to "Reds" A banquet was given at the Presbyterian church by the "Blue" members of the men's Bible class to the "Red" members of the class Thursday night of last week. The class was divided several weeks ago into two divisions, "The Blues" aDd "The Reds," the divisions to vie with each other infringing in new members. The "felues" were defeated and by previous agreement the losing side was to give a banquet to the winning members of the class. About l'>0 persons were present and addresses were made by the pastor, Rev P S McChesney, Rev W I Sinnott of Salters and Rev Alexander Sprunt, of the First Presbyterian church, of Charleston. Aside from the banquet feature of the programme, the evening was highly instructive and enjoyable. ON A LONG HIKE. Mr & Mrs J Gardner Pass Throngli Kingstree En Route to Boston.

Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. When you reel Diuous, 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 can not 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 feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe. LAKE CITY~C0C0 COLA t if *11%. Bottling Blant?A Model Bottling Works. This enterprise was established a little more than five years ago, and was the first bottling plant in this section of the country, and one among the first in the South to install automatic machinery for soaking, cleaning and rinsing bottles. Their business has steadily increased from year to year, making it necessary to increase their capacity. Some time ago a larger and more complete outfit was installed, composed of a large Twentieth Century ? ii Automatic OUaMiig ma^uuic, in which each bottle is sterilized, submerged for several minutes in a powerful cleaning solution which eats out the dirt from the pores of the glass, and chemically cleans each bottle. The bottles then pass on and are inverted on a 'rapidly revolving bristle brush of an automatic brushing and rinsing machine, and at the same time streams of pure, fresh water, under full pressure (are shot up into each bottle, rinsing them thoroughly. They are then taken to the bottling machine where they are filled with a perfect blend of Coco-Cola Syrup and Carbonated Water, making this delightfully refreshing drink, always uniform and of the same standard. TUo fillorl hnttlos now rpadv for use, are placed in crates and are [ ready for delivery to our customers. Our water, although clear and pure,is well filtered before it is used in carbonating drinks. Athough our building is well screened, yet the syrup room is, within itself, screened all around. The syrup is strained through double cleaned cloths into the syrup jars, and from these conveyed through protected tubes to the filling machine. The floor is of concrete and inclined so that the water can rapidly get away. They are flooded and washed daily, "Absolute Sanitation" being our watch word. We cordially invite the public to ! visit our plant and 3ee for themselves how we prepare' and put up in bottles that sparkling beverage, known as "delicious and refreshing" Coco-Cola. 5-27-2t SPECIAL NOTICES /fSSI Phone us when you want ZtK to fypt. a. notice under this t heading.
