MILLINERY OPENINGS IN KINGSTREE SUPERIOR DISPLAYS AND REA SONABLE PRICES. DESPITE THE WAR TIMES. The annual spring fashion sho< opened yesterday at the stores c The Kingstree Dry Goods Co, S Mai cus, and Silverman's Departmer Store. These openings are alwaj anticipated apparently, by ladies o the community, with considerabl interest, though, this season i seems to have assumed an unusu* depth owing, perhaps, to the man hard luck stories concerning th scarcity of dye stuffs and other me terials that are essential to women' fookisina in Ampripn. DoilbtleS 1CU3UIVU0 IU many of them had formed an in pression that the spring of 191 would bring out nothing new o worth while owing to the ban upon s many European materials excludini them from our markets. This ha been a mistake and the women, as i rule, seem to be most agreeably sur prised, if not amazed, over the beau tiful display that our local merchant have put on exhibition. And th prices do not seem so much highe than heretofore, but this is due b the foresightedness of our dealers ii buying these goods early last fall before the advanced prices went in to effect. Mr Swails, manager o: The Kingstree Dry Geods Co, show ed us some beautiful dress pattern that he is selling today for just wha the wholesalers would charge hir had he not placed his order last year The display of millinery, dress good and trimmings at the Kingstree Dr; Goods company's store is superl and we don't believe we exaggerat when we say it is the handsomest ii the history of its business. Tb dainty voiles, crepe de chines, em broidered sea clothes, etc, are ex quisite in texture and design, whili the display of millinery is "a thinj of beauty" and should be a joy for ever. It plainly bespeaks the artis tic taste of the charming little lad: orKn h?e pharos of the deDartment Miss Lilian Shipley of Westminster Md. Lady visitors to this stori were pleasantly greeted by Misse Retha Burgess, saleslady, and Bessii Harper, wno assisted Miss Shi pie: j in the millinery department, whili the Messrs Swails 'ooked after th< men. At Mr Marcus' place we foun< the usual attractive display of Gag* hats, spring dress goods and an un usually handsome line of ready-to wear ladies' suits and dresses mad* up according to fashion's very lates dictations, but what caught ou: eye, especially, was the display o: unique little hats, each one a crea tion unto itself,artistically embellish ed with ribbons, flowers or'fruits some with brims, others withoutwhile the predominating style seem; to favor the latter. Mrs Marcui and her gracious little milliner. Mis Ruth Nettles, were busy yesterda: and today entertaining the ladie; who called to see, try on or selec their spring bonnet. We next called at the Silvermai Department Store to see what Mis Willie Clark had on exhibition. M J ? on O ana oars Silverman were uuv .? ? the time but Miss Clark and Mis Pearlstine were present and in thei: usual courteous manner showed u the pretty things which the proprie tors had provided for the season' trade. There were pretty and stylisl hats for everybody, even for th< little folk, also a handsome line o coat suit6 and dress materials tha would please the most fastidiou taste. Rev P S McChesney will preach a Union Presbyterian church nex Sabbath.and Rev W I Sinnott of Sal ters will fill Mr McChesney's pulpi in his absence. | There will be no service at th< Episcopal church next Sunday, bu the usual weekday services will b< held, Wednesday at 8 p. rr.. and fr'n day at 4 p. m.

Indigestion Maj Due t L- : Neglect of Important Function May Seriously impair the Health. iv i There are many pe? >ple who believe if j they suffer from indigestion when r. their discomfort really is due to a it constipated condition. 's j Bloat, with its attendant mental f I rlenression. sick-headache, the belch e ! ing of sour stomach gases, etc, are it frequently due to inaction of the i] bowels. Relieve the congestion and y the trouble usually disappears. The e use of cathartics and purgatives t. should be avoided, however; these g shock the system unnecessarily and, is at best, their effect is but tempo1.1 rary. A mild laxative is far pref6 j erable. r | The compound of simple laxative 0 i herbs known as Dr Caldwell's SyU i rup Pepsin and sold in drug stores i s i for fifty cents a bottle, is highly 1 a ! recommended.

Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but 1 was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. f At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I commenced taking it From the very first I IJ A.lt !l | aose, 1 couia icu 11 was uapmg mc. i can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work."
