and assistant State agent Mrs Dora

to take part in the demonstration

Miss Huffington gave a lecture on
"Food Values" and a demonstration
in canning, using string beans, tomatoes,
peppers, pears and succotash.

feature of the programme. The
work was carried on in the court

week, and the whir of the various
machines is like music to those of
Kingstree's citizens who like to see
the old town pushing forward.
The new plant is equipped with a
high power gasoline engine for operating
the machinery, which consists
of a large four-sided combina- ?
tion planer and moulding machine,
shaper, rip, cut-off and band saws, 1
lathe, re8aw,etc, all of the latest and j
best designs in their particular class. J
For several weeks a part of the (
machinery of the plant has been
temporarily operated by a small ]
gasoline engine for the manufacture j
of tobacco hogsheads, but with the
large new engine and the setting up
of additional machinery and a com- <
petent force of mechanics, the plant '
is now prepared to do almost any :

equipped- herself with an automo-!
bile, which enables her to get over (
the county in the interest of her
work more frequently than with a
horse and buggy.

Col. O. T. Hall Dead.
Lake City, August 23: ? Col 0 T j
Hall, one of the largest property
holders and most progressive men of
Lake City, died this morning at 2
o'clock. His death was quite a shock ]
to his friends here, as he had been
sick only about ten days and it was
not generally known that his illness ,
was of a serious nature. ,
Col Hall was born in Pittsylvania <
county,Virginia, and moved to Lake '
City 15 years ago, where he built i
the large Star warehouse,which was
the first permanent step toward the
large tobacco market Lake City has
sfnce become. Through good management
his business interests have
increased until he accumulated a
large amount of property.
The deatn of Col Hall will bring
sadness to many, for he was always
kind and courteous and a devoted
