Will You Be Missed? ? l1 , Some of these day? you who, are reading this article are going to die and pass on to your reward? whatever that reward may be. But will you leave a void behind? Will you be missed? The Creator has ordained that man must carve out his own career in this world, and when he journeys to the great unknown he leaves behind him a record founded upon his own acts. You may leave behind you a wife I or children or other dependents. As you deal by them in life, so will their grief be gauged and tempered at your death. Will they miss you? In this town you have friends and business associates and perhaps many acquaintances. They know you as you are, as you have been these many years. They have judged you living,and they will judge you dead. Will they miss you? / ' In the banks and the stores and the offices and out upon the farms are rvonle who have known you in the past and who Know you today. As you have l>een,so are you known to them now. + \ Will they miss you? In the house of darkened windows, where sweet toned music soothes the tired brain and the min? ister tells of the ways of a better ? life, are many people who know you for your acts and your deeds, for that which you have performed * or have left undone. v Will thejT miss you? In our homes are many little children who know you, who have passed you on the streets, who, perchance, have been greeted with a kindly smile or with a frown. They will remember you. But will they miss you? Even your faithful animals or pets know you as you are and as van hnvp l?ppn to them Will they miss you? There is no place you may go, no point of the compass to which you may turn, hut what people have known you or will know you and by all of these you will l>e judged when you have passed away. t As you shape your career in life, so do you write the record by which you will l>e known after death. Your family, your associates, your acquaintances, even your dumb brutes will remember you after you have passed on. > J')?SlplprtpA But will you oe iwisseu;? ., The fellow who his his light under a bushel is putting the bushel to pcor use. * - Everybody in Kingstrce should start right now in a hearty en-operation with the e.ivie league in making this town an ideal place to live, especially from a sanitary view point. One of the important things the league propeses to do is to wage relentless war upon mosquitoes and thei breeding places in tins community. Every man and woman in Kingstree should lend their hearty co-operation in this work, for if something is not done to check these detestable pests before summer arrives they will make life miserable for us, judging from their activities during the past month, when it was often necessary in some sections of town for dwellers to sleep under a net for protection against the attacks of these vile little disease spreading insects.

NEW PASTOR COMING. Rev A E Riemer of Allendale Ac* cepts Call to Baptist Church. Rev A E Riemer of Allendale,who was recently called to the pastorate of the Baptist church here, occupied the pulpit of that church Sunday morning and evening, preaching to good congregations. After the morning sermon Mr Reimer stated to the officers and members of the church that when he arrived here on Saturday he had not made up his mind to accept the charge, but since having ' ' J tUo met wun mem unu guuc uvci mc situation pretty thoroughly, he was unable to find any excuse for declining, he therefore thanked them for the honor conferred upon him and accepted their call, stating that he would be permanently in the field here in about ten days. It is probable that Mr Reimer will preach here next Sunday. The Baptist parsonage is now being put in order for Mr and Mrs Reimer and these good people will be heartily welcomed to Kingstreei not only by members of his congregation, but the entire citizenship.

Benson,February 1: ?Our farmers are very undecided as to arrangements for Dlantinz. The fertilizer proposition is the difficult problem to solve. That is, with the excessively high price and the low per cent of potash in the mixture compared with the average price of cotton, it would scarcely leave a margin that would exceed the cost of production. On account of the European war the importation of potash salts is at a standstill, therefore our attention should be given to the conservation of wood ashes, more so than probably the farmers have been doing. The writer got the following composition of the ashes of some of our various trees, which probably some of our readers did not see, from a bulletin issued by the South Carolina Experiment Station of Clemson college: Phoa Acid Potash Lime Hickory 11.97% 28.60% 37.94% Ash 3.58 46.04 23.57 Dogwood 8.51 28.04 38.93 The above named have the highest per cent of potash, yet others, such ? J ? ?1- ~lr n/.of mo!/ onrl rcu UBK, Will LC uart, yi'Oi. uan uuu pine, have a per cent of potash worth saving. Ashes must not be mixed with acid phosphate,for the lime will cause a reversion of the phosphoric acid to a less soluble form. The ashes should be put down in the furrows eight or ten days before the other fertilizers. The balmy, spring-like days have given the oat crop a beautiful green color. Tobacco planting will not be so extensive as heretofore in this section, especially among the colored people. In fact, very few will plant. The Methodist church of this place presents a decided improvement in appearance since the completion of the large colonial columns i of solid concrete material, a pavement in front and also steps that would compare favorable with those designed by experienced architects.

Those who do not i attend deprive themselves of the , privilege of being instructed morally and intellectually. The ladies of this community are having tea parties and fancy work i socials,at which they report the best ? times imaginable. Perhaps these gatherings will eventually exclude ' the merry ragtime that drives the feet with syncopated shuffles and schottisches and the abundance of 1 two-step,with the occasional jig reel [ and a break-down. WES. i ~ ! Blind Tigers at Cades. i I Editor County Record:? ! Will you allow me space to speak ' a word about the blind tiger whiskey at Cades? Whiskey is selling here almost as freely as if open barrooms were in operation. No one, it seems, will take this whiskey selling in hand and stop the blind tigers, ?+ f.v nr?c? that- a hlinrt man jtiri it ll/vsno tu U1V. wuuw m wiiuu could catch these timers here. The dispensary has closed, but if something isn't done to stop this one gallon a month whiskey, we would be better off with the dispensary in operation, for the blind tiger whiskey is of poor quality and very costly. I heard a man say today that the blind tigers bought the whiskey for $2.25 per gallon and sold it at $1.25 a quart for the cheapest whiskey that Jacksonville, Fla, can furnish. This will make women and children walk the road and beg bread,and if some man does not take those whiskey retailers in hand, I think some woman will have to do so, for a poor white woman does not like to go into the field and work for her living and see her husband spend his money with blind tigers, black and white. I think just a few more Saturdays and Sundays will make some woman look up the Governor. The drunkard's wife rejoiced the day the key turned on the dispensary, but trouble, it seems,has just begun. If you want to find carrion, watch the flock of buzzards; if you want to see the blind tiger, go with a drunkard. I want to see what man will take these whiskey retailers in hand and give them a job ditching for the county Just think, you can buy 21 pounds of flour for 90 cents, and a quart of whiskey costs $1.25. A Woman. Cades, February 1. ?o? m??11 Man I She Will I Recover So her doctor said. Her friends and neighbors felt sure, of it too. They have used Peruna themselves and know of its merits. That old cough that had worried her for years and years, for which she had taken all sorts of cough i medicines, has disappeared. Peruna is doing the work. She will recover. Indeed, she has recovered. Her name Is Mrs. ^Villlarn Hohmann, 2764 Lincoln Ave., Chicago, Ills. She had suffered ' with catarrh of the bronchial tubes and had a terrible cough I ever since a child. As she got i older she grew worse. She coughed both winter and summer. Had to sit up at night. Could not sleep. "But all that has left me now. Peruna has cured me." . There are others, and there I Is a reason. i ? When Happiness would come to stay she meets a growler on the way: "The town," he says, "is dead an' gone,?no peg to hang yer rain coat on!" Then Happiness walked in 1 and said: "At least, the liars are 1 not dead!" i "It is to be hoped this shortage of dye which is resulting in yellow paper for the newspapers won't affect Secretary Lansing's supply of note paper, as we wouldn't want any of our notes to European coun' tries to show the least trace of vellow."
