The Great White Light
We are not adverting our local
electriclplant or praising the merits
of any plant in particular when we
, say that we would like to see every
residency in Kingstree lighted by
electricity. Every business house,
. work shop and professional office
should also be supplied with the
light that never fades.
Yes, and we venture a little further,
we would like to see electric
lighting wire strung out to every
farm house in the county. The day
of the tallow candles has passed;
the old coal oil lamps are in tneir
decendency, electricity is rapidly
replacing them. The old fashioned
hand lantern is going, too, its place
being taken by little storage batteries,
inventions that one can carry
conveniently in his vest or hip
pocket when not in use.
Electricity should be no more expensive
today than the oil lamp or
tallow candle, while its effectiveness
is increased a thousand fold.
The way of the modern world is
lighted by electric rays at the mere
pressing of a button or the shifting
of a switch. Let's modernize. Let's
make a continuous current necessary.
Let's light up.
How About It?
What has this town ever done for
you? It has fed you, and clothed
you, and housed you, and given you
employment, and kept the wolf from
your door for these many years.
It has done more. It has furnished
you recreation, and enjoyment,
and has guided you safely over
many of the stones that beset the
pathway of life.
It has praised your good deeds
and has thrown the mantle of charity
over your questionable ones.
It has been, and is. your home.
But what have you done for the
town?
You are making your money here,
but where are you spending it?
Are you buying goods from the
local dealer, who pays taxes and
otherwise contributes liberally to
the upkeep of the community and
your home, or are you sending your
money away to some catalogue
house that wouldn't lend you a five
cent piece to save your soul from
purgatory?
And now you have reached the
point where we want you to stop
and think, and think hard, and to a
sane, sensible and patriotic purpose.
Who will be the "Beauty Queen"
of the County Fair?
For purposes of "safety first"
always look a mule in the face.
No man is so poor but he may
give unto others, though it be noth
ing more than a smile. J

Despondency Due to Indigestion.
"About three month ago when I
was suffering from indigestion which
caused headache and dizzy spells and
made me feel tired and despondent,
I began taking Chamberlain's Tablets,"
writes Mrs Geo Hon, Macedon,
N Y. "This medicine proved to be
the very thing I needed, as one day's
treatment relieved me greatly. I
used two bottles of Chamberlain's
Tablets and they rid me of this
trouble." Obtainable everywhere.

loy was convicted from Marlboro
countv during the July, 1915, term j
of court for the murder of Prentiss!
Moore Thanksgiving day, 1910. He!
had had two trials and the case had
been reviewed by the State and Federal

have been filed with Governor
Manning implicating two white

Olanta Observations.
It is well to tie to the man who
warms up in the interest of his
home town. There are no icicles
on him.
Every man is appreciated in some
way or another; the grouch or
knocker, for instance, when he takes
his leave.
The heart and the mind make the
man, but the pocket book greases
his way through life. Ease us along
with that past due subscription.
We note that a Boston physician
advises the human race to go barefoot.
That, we presume, includes
everybody but the Boston physician.
Our spiritual advisers tell us that
every human being is put on earth
for some definite purpose, but hanged
if we can find any possible excuse
for the bloke who is too lazy to work.
Pretty, accomplished young ladies
are always in demand, if for nothing
more than to brighten the tired
eyes of an old bachelor, but just
now we want them for a more noble
purpose, that of winning glory for
our county and State Fairs.
