A SPLENDID SHOWING. 1
Annual Meeting ol Klngstree B. '
A ? Association.
The Kingstree Building and Loan (
association held its annual meeting '
Monday night, at which a majority I
of the stockholders were represented.
The report of the secretary and
treasurer made a splendid showing;
two series of stock, representing
about 1,000 shares, had been closed
up and a third will mature in August
or September.
Directors for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: A C Hinds,
W T Wilkins, M H Jacobs.H 0 Britton,
E C Burgess, W H Carr and H
E Montgomery. The directors then
elected A C Hinds president; W T
Wilkins, vice president; W H Carr,
secretary and treasurer. The law
firm of Kelley & Hinds was chosen
as the association's attorneys.
It was unanimously decided by the
directors to open the sixth series of
stock April 1, and books of subscription
thereto are now open at the office
of the secretary and treasurer, I
Mr WH Carr. j
The Kingstree Building and Loan
association was organized here in I
1905 and has proven to be one of the <
best organizations ever effected in i
the town. It has been the means ]
of a vigorous growth in the town, i
especially in the way of home building,
and this building has been of an
exceptionally good and substantial
class. It has enabled a number of
Kingstree citizens to own their homes.
To Mr Carr, the present secretary ,
and treasurer,!perhaps more than to
anyone else, the community is indebted
for this splendid organization.
We call attention to the advertisement
in this paper, page 8, of McClary
Bros Co, whose place of business
is located at Gourdin. This
firm carries a large line of general
merchandise which they are offering
at live and let live prices.

Member Thereof.
At a meeting held in Florence Friday
and attended by delegations f
from Kingstree, Dillon, Bennetts- ?

The meeting adopted a constitution
and by-laws, and upon the c
name of each town in the league ^
being called, its representative came t
forward and signed the same, at the
same time depositing $250.00 guarantee
money. It was determined
that the season should commence on
June 12, and continue for sixty f
games; the season to be divided into ^
two halves of thirty games each. E
The salary limit was fixed at $800.00
per moijth, and the player limit at
eleven men, including the manager.

cobs; Kingstree, Philip Stoll, Esq, ^

Poultry Association Organized, n
A meeting was held in the offices P
of Miss Amanda Edwards, home demonstration
agent, Monday, by those
who had previously signified their
interest in an organization to be
known as the Williamsburg Poultry
association, and officers were elected b>
as follows: President, J W Switten- j tl
berg; vice president, Dr D P Frier- ?
3on; secretary, T E Arrowsmith;
treasurer, Miss Amanda Edwards.
It was unanimously agreed that 3,
an annual fee of $1 be charged each p;
member, payable to either the secretary
or the treasurer. f<
The object of this association is to b
promote the raising of more and D
better poultry in the county, and every
person, man or woman, in Wil- _
liamsburg who is interested in better
poultry should become a member of j Jji
the organization. It is intended by
the members to make a larger and
better poultry exhibit at the county
fair this fall and in order to do this t,
careful selections from flocks of young
birds ^should be made as early as
possible.
The only requirements for mem- i g
bership in the .'association are resi- R
dence in Williamsburg county and -
taking an interest in pure-bred R
poultry of any kind, no matter what a
breed. Full information may be ob- c
tained from any of the above officers. t<
Safe Medicine for Children.
"Is it safe?" is the first question j(
to l>e considered when buying a c
cough medicine for children. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has long
been a favorite with mothers of young y
children, as it contains no opium or g
other narcotic, and may be given to
a child as confidently as to an adult. .
It is pleasant to take,too, which is of J
great importance when a medicine
must 1)0 given to young children. ?
This remedj is most effectual in re- ?
lieving coughs,colds and croup. Obtainable
everywhere.
