KINGSTREE MERCHANTS HOLD

MILLINERY AND COAT SUITS
The semi-annual, or autumn opening
festival, took place at the leading
department stores yesterday. It
was really "ladies' day" and from
what we could see and hear we belive
they were about all "on the
job." Many were noted from the
country, having arrived early by
train or automobile. Their presence
was a pleasure to the merchants
who had specially arranged the show
for their inspection and criticism.
In the millinery department of the
Silverman Department Store Miss
Willie Clarke had arranged a splendid
array of pretty things for patrona
of the store. Miss Clarke, herself
a young lady of pleasing personality
and charming manner, we venture
to say, added much to the pleasure
of the ladies who inspected her department
yesterday with all the
earnestness they could command,
for every comment we heard was
highly favorable. This popular store
also had on display an elegant line
of coat suits and other ready-to-wear
garments, while its line of beautiful
dress fabrics in silks and wool was
unusually attractive.
cr ctnro nn fViP fnrnpr ? SI
I Marcus'?was besieged all day yes|
terday by ladies from in and out of
town. They were there to inspect,
try-on, take-off, scrutinize, and tryon
again the beautiful line of pattern
hats that Mrs Marcus had provided
for the festival. This, too,
was greatly augmented by the chick
and dainty creations of Miss Ruth
Nettles, whose skill in the millinery
art seems to be a second gift of nature
rather than a training, although
she has studied it in detail in one of
the larger cities. This store also
had on display a handsome line of
coat suits and ready-to-wear garments
for ladies and misses.
Next, we "butted" into the store
of the Kingstree Dry Goods Go,
where we were confronted by a
busy scene. Besides the Messrs
Swails, Misses Retha Burgess and
Annie Baker and that"charming little
milliner", Miss Shipley, there were
dozens of ladies, some were trying
on toques, while others were diligently
adjusting little skull caps or
sombreros, then there were others
eagerly "devouring" the beautiful
line of dress goods, ready-to-wears,
and the dainty neck "harness." This
was plainly no place for "father"
yesterday. It was mothers', daughters'
or sisters' day and HE didn't
have a ghost of a chance beyond a
"look in."
THE SEASON'S STYLES.
They are termed toques, sailors,
turbans, sailors, skull caps and tricornes.
Of these the sailors and
toques seem to have precedence in
the realm of fashion. These are
trimmed in flowers and not infrequently
a catchy metallic ornament
as a side, front or rear embellishment.
Felt, velvet and silk in all colors
are the leading materials used in
the season's "shapes" and without
the flowers and other ornamentations
they would not stand for much
in a beauty contest, and without a
properly adjusted face veil no "top
piece" will express true distinctness
and correctness this season, says
dame fashion.
Capt Wm Cooper of Columbia was
in Kingstree this week.
Mr J H Harrington of New Zion
was in Kingstree yesterday.
Mrs J C McCutchert of Fowler was
in Kingstree yesterday on an inspection
of the beautiful things at the
fall openings.
Dr and Mrs D C Scott and Mr D
C Scott, Jr. are visiting the former's
daughter, Mrs W W Boddie, at Louisburg,
N C, this week, they having
motored the trip in t.ieir new Maxwell
car.

The first meeting of the Wee Nee
Literary society for 1915-16, held
Friday, September 24, in the society
hall, with the new president, Mr
Heyward Brockinton, in the chair,
was a yery successful one.
After the roll call by the secretary,
Mr Archie Wilkins, and an inaugural
address by the president,
the following officers who were not
installed last May took the oath of
office: Vice president, Pauline McCants;
secretary, Archie Wilkins;
treasurer, Samuel Burgess; critic,
Hillis Phillips; literary editor. Belle
Hurt.
As all pupils in the high school
are eligible to membership in the
society, tl^? names of all in the 8th
grade were proposed. After voting
favorably upon these names, the
new members were brought in and
installed. They were welcomed in a
few works by the president, who
also welcomed rMiss Cunningham as
an honorary member.
Eugene King and Hampden Montgomery
were elected marshals. As
there was no regular literary programme
to be carried out, the remainder
of the society period was
spent in reading parts of the constitution
and by-laws by the secretary.
After the second roll call the meeting
was adjourned.
We are glad to have with us this
year as a member of our high school
faculty, and as an honorary member
of our literary society, Miss Louise
Cunningham of Abbeville.
Our tenth grade this year numbers
13 ?"a lucky number."

Mr Ira A Calhoun, representing
the Southeastern Life Insurance Co
- mi ? i nr* _
of Ureenviiie.nas opened an omce in
the Wee Nee bank building. This
well known company expects to
maintain ah office here permanently
and we are glad to welcome Mr Calhoun
to Kingstree, the best town of
its size in the State. The company
he represents is purely a South Carolina
organization and is noted among
the best doing business in the State.
Manson Shuler, a negro about 21
years old, was shot to pieces about
11 o'clock at Ellorec Tuesday night,
while attempting to enter the home
of a private citizen, in whose face
he flashed a pistol. It seemed as if
his motive were robbery, but it is a
mystery why he should attempt such
a desperate act in the heart of the
town.

The Next Best Thing to the Pine Forest
For Colds Is?
I Dr Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey which goes
; to the very root of cold troubles. It
clears the throat and gives relief
from that clogged and stuffed feeling.
The pines have ever been the
j friend of man in driving away colds,
i Moreover, the pine-honev dualities
[ are peculiarly effective in fighting
children's colds. Remember that
a cold broken at the start greatly
removes the possibility ef complications.
