HONORING THE SOLDIERS,

Kingstree's Booster Club and the

and hostess here Tuesday in most
excellent style to a number of soldier
boys, sons of Williamsburg county,

government, and also to invited
guests from Charleston, the latter
consisting of about twenty-five bluejackets
from the United States navy
and a band of musicians.
At noon patriotic speeches were
made by the Rev Mr Harmon and
the Hon P H Stoll from a platform
erected for the occasion at the intersection
of Main and Academy streets,
where stands the Confederate monument
erected to the memory of patriots
from Williamsburg county who
fell in the conflict of 1861-'65. Tuesday's
ceremony marked a strikingly
different spirit of patriotism here.inasmuch
as the Stars and Stripes were
raised and unfurled to the gentle
breeze from a forty-foot pole while
the assembled company cheered with
enthusiastic love and patriotism.
Mayor W R Scott welcomed the
guest of honor and visitors in a
happy little speech.

a game of baseball in the afternoon
on the fair ground diamond. Tfe
game was well attended and apparently
much enjoyed' In the evening
they were again entertained at supper
on the court house green. They
spent the night as guests in tne
homes of Kingstree residents and returned
to Charleston yesterday morning.

DR. R. CLAUDE McCABE DEAD, j
Skilful Dentist and Universally Esteemed
Young Man Passes Away.
Dr Robert Claude McClaude, a'
popular young man and prominent
! dentist of this place,died at his home
at 12:35 o'clock yesterday. The deceased
was a son of Dr R J McCabe.
| He was a promising young man, beloved
by all who knew him, and his
untimely death has cast a pall of
gloom over the entire community.
His death came as a result of poi
sonous pus corpuscles in his blood
contracted by contact with some patient's
diseased teeth or gums. He
became ill in December, and after
local physicians had done everything
they could for him, he was taken to
I Charleston and treated by Dr Robert
Wilson,Jr,and others eminent in
their profession. Though his malady
was pronounced incurable and his
| case considered hopeless by physii
cians, the young man never gave up
I hope and fought for life till the last
j few moments before passing into the
! great beyond. He possessed a brilj
liant intellect and had studied every
' phase of his trouble almost minuteiy
and believed that his determination
i and strong will power would pull
! him through, and in this belief he
j was always cheerful and planned
for his future.
He became worse Tuesday, and
about 8io'clock yesterday morning his
condition was critical and it was
seen that the end was only a matter
of a few hours. Dr WG Gamble was
with him, and the young dentist ex^
plained every symptom and watched
his own case. When told that there
was no hope, that the end was near,
he passed his wrist to the attending
physician and requested him to feel
again for the throb of his pulse,that
he thought he . was getting better.
Five minutes latet and he was no
more. He died faintly murmuring
n. Comkla Aiinld not lin.

Dr Claude McCabe studied dentistry
and graduated with honors from
an Atlanta college, also pursuing a
post-graduate course. With the exception
of a few months in 1913
when he was located at Fayetteville,
N C, he had practiced his profession
here.
In June, 1913, he married Miss
Marian Gilland, youngest daughter
of the late Thos M Gilland, Esq, of
this place, and through his entire illness
she watched over and nureed
him with a tender, loving, cheerful
sympathy that is given only to a devoted
wife.
Dr McCabe is survived by his
widow and one bright little son,
Claude, Jr, also a brother, John Mc
Cabe of Michigan,- and one sister,
Mrs E'M Duvall of Cheraw. The
deceased was 30 years of age April 1.
Dr McCabe was an esteemed member
of Kingstree lodgp, No 46, A F
M, and so lived that his life might
impart a useful lesson to the living.
Funeral service will take place at
the home of the deceased this afternoon
at 5 o'clock, followed by interment
at the Williamsburg cemetery,
Rev P S McChesney officiating.
J E Tharpe Dead.
Mr J E Tharpe, a well known citizen
and farmer living east of Kingstree,
died at his home Monday and
was buried in the Williamsburg
cemetery Tuesday afternoon. Mr
Tharpe had been in bad health for
some time. He is survived by a
wife and three children.

man came to me who waa nearly half a
century old and aaked ma to give him &
preliminary examination for life insurance.
1 waa astonished to And him with
the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and aa
full of vigor, vim and vitality as a
young man; in fact, a young man he
really waa notwithstanding his age. The
secret he said was taking iron?Nuxated
Iron had filled bim with renewed life.
At SO he was in bad health; at 46 he

at 50, after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle
of vitality and his face beaming
with the buoyancy of youth. Aa 1 have
said a hundred times over, iron is the
greatest of all strength builders. If
people would only take Nuxated Iron
when they feel weak or run down, instead
of doslnfr themselves with habitforming
drugs, stimulants and alcoholic
beverages I am convinced that in this
way they could ward off disease, preventing
it becoming organic in thousands
of cases, and thereby the lives of
thousands might be saved who now die
every y^ar from pneumonia, grippe,
kidney, liver, heart trouble and other
dangerous maladies. The real and true
cause which started their diseases was
nothing more nor less than a weakened
condition brought on by lack of iron
In the blood. Iron Is absolutely necessary
to enable your blood to change food
into living tissue. Without it. no matter
how much or what you eat. your
food merely passes through you without
doing you any good. Tou don't get the
st.ength out of it. and as & consequence
you become weak, pale and sickly looking,
Just like a'plant trying to grow in
a soil deficient in iron. If you are not
