occurred Monday after several
spasmodic threats of cold weather,
apparently giving a final farewell to
the everlong hot season. The highest
reading of the thermometer was
72 degrees, and this was registered
at 7 o'clock in the morning. After
that hour a steady decline in the
temperature set in, and at 8 o'clock
Monday night the mercury hovered
around 55 degrees, but went down
as low as 33 degrees before morning
causing a heavy frost to form wh ich
remained on the ground Tuesday
morning untile the rays from old
sol caused it to vanish.
During the latter part of last week
it seemed as if summer-like temperatures
would continue and the pesky
flies and mosquitoes apparently took
a new lease on life, the latter being
noticeable about town in great
swarms. We hope this change in
the weather has put a quietus upon
the nefarious activities of these
"busy little bees."

The Colds ol Mankind Cured by Pines.
Have you ever gone through a
typical pine forest when you had a
cold? What a vigorous impulse it
sent! How you opened wide your
lungs to take in those invigorating
and mysterious qualities. Yes, Dr
Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey possesses those
stimulating qualities and overcomes
hacking coughs. The inner lining
of the throat is strengthened in its
attack against cold germs. Every
family needs a bottle constantly at
hand. 25c.
Winter tourists are already arriving
in South Carolina.
How to Prevent Group.
It may be a surprise to you to
learn that in many cases croup can
be prevented. Mrs H M Johns, Elida,
Ohio, relates her experience as follows:
"My little boy is subject to
croup. During the past winter I
kept a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in the house, and when he
began having that croupy cough I
would give him one or two doses of
it and it would break the attack. I
like it better for children than any
other cough medicine because children
take it willingly, and it is safe
and reliable." Obtainable everywhere.
Small Profits, My Motto.
Not just one, but every one draws ;

prior to November 1, 1915, it is :
shown that 138,835 less bales were !
ginned than for the same period of
1914. The report shows that in Williamsburg
county last year there
were ginned up to November 1
22,850 bales, against 15,978 bales to
the same date this year, a decrease
of 6,872 bales.
A series of religious services, commencing
Sunday morning next, will
be held at the Presbyterian church
here during the entire week by Rev
A R Woodson of Wadesboro, N C.
Rev Mr Woodson was formerly pastor
of the Presbyterian church atf
Manning and is an able exponent of
the gospel. During the week two
services will be held each day, the
series closing Sunday, November 28.
The public is cordially invited to attend
these meetings.
Col Geo A Gearhart, who so ably
entertained Kingstree citizens at
the Chautauqua course yesterday,
will,we are delighted to learn, speak
at the Presbyterian church Sunday
night at 7:30 o'clock. Col Gearhart
is widely known throughout the
country as a Christian gentleman of
high attainments and gifted to an
unusual degree as a public speaker.
Col Gearhart's lectures here yesterday
were highly appreciated, and we
are sure the people of Kingstree will
be delighted with the opportunity to
hear him again Sunday night at the
Presbyterian church. The public will
be welcome.

Harvin, November 14:?After an
illness covering a period of four
months Mrs Abbie Davis McFaddin
died Friday morning at 9 o'clock.
The obsequies were held at 11 o'clock
Saturday in the old Concord Presbyterian
church, of which the deceased
was a life member, Dr J W McKay,
the pastor, officiating. A large concourse
of relatives and friends from
Clarendon and Sumter counties were |
present to pay their last respects to
the memory of this sainted woman.
The interment was in Concord ceme?
-? u 1
tery, where sleep tne remains 01 ner
relatives and ancestors for more
than a hundred years. Mrs McFaddin
was the second daughter of the
late Col Lamb Davis, who moved from
this place to Dickey, Ga, over 70
years ago. She is survived by her
husband, James Theodore McFaddin,
two sisters, Mrs Dora Davis Harvin
Wilson, of Dickey, Ga, and Mrs Margaret
Lenora Davis Peden of Concord,
Ga, also three grand children i
and five gjeat grand children. She j
was eighty years of age and had
been married sixty years. B H H.

. There are many people who have
a distress in the stomach after meals.
It is due to indigestion and easily
remedied by taking one of Chamberlain's
Tablets after meals. Mrs Henry
Padghan. Victor, N Y, writes:
"For some time I was troubled with
headache and distress in my stomach
after eating, also with constipation.
About six months ago I began taking
Chamberlain's Tablets. They
regulated the action of my bowels
and the headache and other annoyances
ceased in a short time." Obtainable
everywhere.
Bankruptcy Case.
A petition in voluntary bankruptcy
was filed in the United States
district court at Charleston by Albert
R Moseley, of Salters Depot, in
Williamsburg county. His liabilities
are listed at $7,418.26 and his assets
at $11,804.41.
A Clogged System Needs Attention.
Are you bilious, dizzy and listless?
Dr King's New Life Pills taken at
once seizes upon constipation and
starts the bowels moving naturally
and easily. Moreover it acts without
griping. Neglect of a clogged
system often leads to most serious
complications. Poisonous matters and
a body poorly functioning need immediate
attention. If you wish to
wake up tomorrow morning happy
in mind and entirely satisfied, start
your treatment tonight. 25c a bottle.
