ffih* (Jlnuntg Sworb. KINQSTREE. 8. Q> THURSDAY. JULY 20. 1916. The Storm. The people of Williamsburg coun ty and the entire Pec Dee section j have been hard hit by the tropical storm that swept over eastern South Carolina from Thursday night until Saturday morning of last week. Never in the history of the county has there fallen such a ^quantity of rain as was recorded last Saturday morning, nor has Black river ever before reached the height it attained here Monday?3 J feet above flood stage. It is roughly estimated that this county- has suffered damages to the extent of twp million dollars. This damage has fallen largely upon the crops?tobacco, corn and cotton, and was brought about by both % wind and rain. It would be hard to say what th? result would have been had it not been for the great down pour Friday night after the wind storm subsided, hut it is hard* * -i t jy piausuue 10 hwmiuic umi mc damage to crops would have been nearly so great as it is. At l>est the situation is had enough, but it could be a great deal worse and, since it is one of those calamities over which man has no control, we might as well make up our minds to become reconciled to the situation and do the best we can under the circumstances. It will certainly do little or no good to put on a long face and cry ruin! ruin! At a trying time like thft it would be well to recall the condition of the South, and particularly this State at the close of the Civil war, and endeavor to emulate the spirit of bravery and indomitable energy that characterized our soldier-citizens when they returned from the battle fields to their farms to start life over anew. Then, put on a smile, throw out your chest and push forward bravely, for there is abundant truth in the old adage, that "Where there is a will, there is a way." Blease's Tribute to Manning. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.but who would have expected Cole L Blease to pay this sort of tribute to R I Manning? Nevertheless be is doing it daily in his campaign speeches. Two years ago the keynote of Manning's campaign address was repudiation of factionalism and his promise "to be the Governor of all the people" if elected. The people took him at his word and he has been the Governor of all the r*rt/\rvl.'v Plv\ooa nrvf Kair\rr o faa! ?o\\7 LJ1UOOC, liUU Ut a 1WVI i'MTT that his policy of recognizing none but his political henchmen, of being the Governor of*a faction only had been repudiated, so he has boldly adopted Marning's slogan and is going through the State crying aloud that "if elected I will be the Governor of all the people and will know neither friends norenemies." Blease , must realize that Manning's way is the best way and wishes to make the voters believe that he has seen the light.has undergone a change of heart < and will now fry to be,like Mannifig, a Governor of all the people.?Fum. .ter Watchman.

Salters, January 17:?The hurricane of whose approach the weather J bureau gave us warning Thursday I evening struck here about midnight and raged with unabated fury until Friday afternoon. Wire service has been badly crippled. Many of the shade trees are blown down and those left standing have their limbs and foliage badly broken and bruisk ? ? * i i ed. Houses were Diown aown ana others unroofed. Friday night the heaviest rain ever known in this section fell,the fall being over eighteen inches. Water covered the ACL R R track for 1* miles, washing it badly. Two of the washouts are large. No trains have been run over this line since 9:30 o'clock Friday night. No one has been able to come into the town from the surrounding country since Thursday, as all the bridges are gone. The water in Black river is very high, higher than eyer before known, a raging torrent along the railroad track. Hundreds of hands are at work repairing the damage, but progress is slow.owing to the enormous quantity of water on each side of the roadbed. We have had no mail of any kind for four days. Crops are badly damaged. Corn, which promised to be the largest crop in years, has been blown down, twisted off and blades of fodder stripped into threads. The damage is at least one-third. Cotton has been blown down, beaten into the dirt and much injured, many acres being entirely washed away and others scalded. ami Mro It T VToP.lnrv cnpnt a few days last week visiting relatives in Charleston. Messrs Folsom and King of Darlington spent a few days with Mr J D David last week. Mrs C B Stanton and children have returned after a pleasant visit to relatives in Marlboro. Messrs Dillard and*Bell of Clinton visited friends here last week. We were pleased to have with us a short while Monday the popular principal of oui* school. Miss Leila B Ferguson of Kenno. Miss Hook of Clinton was the guest of Miss Lillian Salters last week. Mr A R Moseley, who is engaged in raising pigeons, has a fine lot of birds. Look Out. Letter from Cedar Swamp. Cedar Swamp, July 18:?The storm clouds have passed and the cherished hope of a bountiful harvest based on the roseate prospect of a few days ago ha3 vanished even as the mist before the shining sun. The worst damaged crop is the tobacco. The leaves are wilted, hanging by the stalk as if they had been dipped in boiling water. Most of it is entirely ruined. The old tobacco that had begun to ripen is being stripped from bottom to top and placed in fhe barns. What it will look like and sell for is merely guess work. The cotton on well drained land where the water remained a short while is looking better, and where it Is young it will withstand the scalding effect and put on fruit later,and perhaps will make a fairly good crop; that is, if it is properly cared for fr\n now on, or a repetition of the recent disaster or some other u'iforeseen calamity do not take place. The corn is bent over badly, and many ears are broken off, while some are almost touching the ground, yet it is wonderful how nature can in a few days cause the top to incline upward, notwithstanding that it :a full grown. The appearance is very ragged, but it will probably yield enough for the farmers if they supplement with a heavy oat crop and plant it early in the fall. So far as we have heard up to this writing, no one in this section was hurt, nor was any serious damage done to live stock. WES. A Rising College. Coker college is the new South | Carolina institution for the education of women. It has been made possible through the liberality of Maj James L Coke'r and other friends.

With all children there are times when the l>owels fail to act naturally and it becomes necessary for the parents to adrnister a remedy. Cathartics and purgatives should never be used as these agents afford only temporary relief while their violent action shocks the system unduly. Mrs Eva F Gaff, 517 10th St, Washington, D C, says that her little girl, Marie, had been subject to constipation, and that she found Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin the best remedy because of its mildness, and now always keeps a bottleof it in the house. Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a compound of simple laxative herbs, fiee from opiates or narcotic drugs of any kind, and is an ideal remedy for children because of its mild action and positive effect. Its use tends to strengthen the impaired bowel .action and restore normal regularity. It is important that parents should know of a dependable remedy with YVINTHROP SHORT COURSE. Interesting Sketch by Student from Williamsburg. Editor County Record:? Will you allow me space enough in your good paper to tell the girls of this county about my trip to Winthrop college, to attend the Short Course in Home Demonstration work? Seventy-six girls attended this short course, fifteen of them were poultry club girls. We arrived at the college at seven-twenty o'clock Monday evening, June the nineteenth. Tuesday morning Mrs Dora Walker gave some fine instructions about how to plant and tend x.-iL 1 XI7.. ?1^.. our rerun-acre xaruen. *?euiic?'iajf we started to work at our lessons, the first lesson was on poultry by Mr Cleveland, who told us about the different breeds and quality of chickens. The second lesson was on agriculture by Mr 0 M Clark, who told us how to plant and care for our small plants and cultivate our land properly. Third lesson was on manual training by Miss Lois Erwin, who taught us how to make booklets to put the history of our work in. Lesson fourth was cooking, the most important 'of all, taught by Miss Carolina Bostic. She taught us how to make light bread, egg jellies, can fruit, etc. The fifth and last lesson was in sewing, by Miss Minnie Garrison. Teaching sewing was not an easy task, as some of us girls could not even make a button hole, but we tried all the same. We had lessons every day the first week except Saturday, when Mr Cleveland took us to see the poultry and dairy farm. We enjoyed the walk very much and got back just in time for dinner. Saturday afternoon Miss Garrison and some of the mAn fAnm f rvnlr iia onfnnnnKiln UICU X1 IS 111 bUVTU WWVrt UO HUVVUIVWliV riding:. Saturday evening after supper Miss Boyd invited us the Y W C A hall to a party, which all of us enjoyed very much. Sunday those that wanted to went to church. We had our lessons the next week as we did the week before until Friday, when we sang some club songs, received our certificates and heard some fine speeches by Dr Snyder and j Mr Floorer. Friday afternoon we went to the swimming pool, where we had lots of fun. Friday night we went to the movies. Saturday morning we left before breakfast to catch our train so as to get home that day. I think every girl in South Carolina would enjoy a short course at Winthrop college. I am sure Dr Johnson will do his best for those who do go. Mamie Mouzon. Mouzons, S C. June 10, 1916. Letter lrom Lake City. Lake City, July 18:?Mr Preston Frown of Leo died Sunday morning, July 16. He was one of the most exemplary young men of this county,and his death is a hard blow. He leaves several brothers and one or more sisters The drummers and people?drummers nbt being people, but merely drum mere ? who were marooned here at the hotel, had good opportunity to practice up on that great indoor national game, set-back. There is in town one young doctor from Virginia who wishes that no train could possibly go North inside of a month. Today a local firm received a bill for roofing paper sent to Station 23, Sullivan's Island. This would seem to indicate that the house occupied by a member of this firm at Station 23 leaked a little within recent years Nobody coming and nobody going ?except that Mr A a nricK started for New York Tuesday, and W L Bass,E3q, headed toward Tampa the same day.

Helped by Tanlac. "It would l>e a hard matter to estimate the good Tanlac has done me," said W D Barrett, No 13 Burroughs St, Savannah, Ga, one of the best known men in that city. Mr Barrett has been a city salesman in the grocery line for sixteen years, and his enthusiasm over Tanlac is no surprise to the many friends who know of his previous condition of health and now realize what it has done for him. "I have been a little better than a nervous wreck for some three years," he continued, "and have lieen treated by no less than fifteen doctors right here in Savannah. I was forced to turn down better paying jobs, traveling, because I was afraid to get away from home in this condition, and at times was actually afraid to go out on the street, | I was so weak and shaky. "I suffered with headaches and neuralgia and my stomach was in bad condition all the time and it seemed like I couldn't get anything 1 that would set me in order or enable j me to digest my food. I could not ! eat anything that would not sour on , my stomach and give me pain or make me miserable. I was thin and had very little strength. In fact, the ! least little exertion would exhaust me and I was hardly equal to anything. I would have pains in my back and joints continually, and would be so nervous and exhausted at night I couldn't sleep at all. I would often have to take stimulants to enable me to keep on going. "One of the doctors who treated me suggested that I try Tanlac and see what it would do in my ca^e, and, besides that, a close personal friend begged me to take it. So I started in on it about a month ago, and 1 couidn't tell you in a week now glad I am that I got it, for it is the very thing. I haven't taken hut two bottles yet, but I've actually gained Several pounds in weight and it's simply picking me up and getting me over every one of my troubles just as fast as it can. As I said before, there is no estimating the good it has done me. It is a great medicine, beyond all doubt, and I am going to keep on taking it until there is no chance of these troubles coming back on me." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold by Kingstree Drug Co., Kingstree; Mallard Lumber Co's store, Greelyyille; price 81 per bottle, straight.

Look as good as your city cousins. No matter if you do Tan or Freckle Magnolia Balm will surely clear your skin inAantly. Heals Sunburn, too. Just put a little on your face and rub it off again before dry. Simple and sure to please. Try a bottle to-day and begin the improvement at once.
