The eighth cotton grinning: report
of the season compiled from reports
of census bureau correspondents and
agents throughout the cotton belt
and issued at 10 a. m. Tuesday announced
that 10,643,783 bales of
cotton of the growth of 1913 had
been ginned prior to January 1.
That compares with 14,443,146
baies, or 90.8 per cent, of the entire
1914 crop ginned prior to January 1
last year. The report shows that in
South Carolina 1,134,059 bales have
been ginned, against 1,388,317 in
1914.
Mr Ira A Calhoun, district manager

Life Insurance company,was

of agents of the company who had
written insurance policies aggregating
one hundred thousand dollars or
over during the year. Mr Calhoun
had been with the Southeastern
nnlv a few months, but during that
time he wrote insurance at the rat?
of something over $200,000 a year.
The banquet of the "Century" club
was held at the Hotel Imperial in
Greenville last Thursday. Mr Calhoun
returned here Saturday.
An Old Newspaper.
We have before us a copy of the
Kingstree Star dated December 18,
1872, edited and published by Mr R
C Logan. This old copy of the Star,
Kingstree's first newspaper, was
mailed to a subscriber and still bears
his name, in plain, legible and distinct
letters?W E Smith, father of
our townsman, Mr R B Smith, who
now owns the old paper and prizes
it among his keepsakes. As to the
rrnf.nn rtf Ko SfOl* fX7?>

believe it compares favorably with
other papers of its time. There is a
great scarcity of local advertisements
in it,most of them being from
Charleston merchants.
In this issue of "The Kingstree
Star"we note this item of local news:

Bad Habits.
Those who breakfast at eight
1 o'clock or later, lunch at twelve and
dine at six are almost certain to be
I troubled with indigestion. They do
; not allow time for one meal to di|
gest before taking another. Not less
I than five hours should elapse bejtween
meals. If you are troubled
| with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and
you may reasonably hope for a quick
recovery. These tablets strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Obtainable

TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE FOR
NASTY CALOMEL.
Starts Your Liver without Making
Yon Sick and Cannot
Salivate.
Every druggist in town?your
Iruggist and everybody's druggist?
las noticed a great falling-off in the
tale of calomel. They all give the
tame reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is
aking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
mow it,while Dodson's Liver Tone is
s perfectly safe and gives better reiult8,"
said a prominent local drugpat.
Dodson's Liver Tone is personilly
guaranteed by every druggist
vho sells it. A large bottle costs 50
;ents, and if it fails to giye easy reief
in eyery case of liver sluggishless
and constipation, you have only
lo ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasantasting,
purely vegetable remedy,
larmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
lp feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
leadache, acid stomach or constipat?d
bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause
nconvenience all the next day like
nolent calomel. Take a dose of cal>mel
today and tomorrow you will
'eel weak,sick and nauseated. Don't
ose a day's work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
)f vigor and ambition.
