?hr (Cuunty Srrnrii. W. F. TOLLEY & E. C. EPPS Publishers. Thursday, Od. 4? 1917. Major P H Stoll. The Hon P H Stoll, who on September i was appointed a judge ad vocate in the United States army by j President Wilson,received telegraph- J ic orders Monday to proceed at once to Boston, Mass. and report for duty to the commonding officer of the Northeastern division. v The order directing Major Stoll to Boston came as a surprise and a shock to the host of friends and relatives of this deservedly popular i young man, for we had all expected and hoped that he would be ordered to duty at some one of the Southern military posts or cantonments, and speculation was rife that in his new official capacity he would be, otfit-'nnpr? nr Camn Jackson. UlOV 0VUViva?vv> ? - ? ?r But such is the "fickleness" of mili-: I tary service. One may be most pleasantly stationed today at Fort Moultrie or at the Charleston Navy Yard and a short time later he will find himself, in compliance with department orders, on the Alaskan border or, perhaps, on the isolated island of Guam in far away Pacific and the best one can do is to re-' gard the change philosophically and ' with imperturbability. In the case: of Mr Stoll we are glad it's no worse : than Boston, at least for the present. And while we feel, like every other citizen of this town and county, a special pride in this honored son and his appointment to high rank in the military service, we regret to lose his presence from among us, especially on a mission of the kind he goes to fulfill and may yet take him?we know not where before it terminates, j But those of us who know and love j him best have this consolation: that wherever he may be ordered to duty he will perform that duty like a' MAN?without fear or favor?just; as he filled the office of Solicitor of J ~ the Third judicial circuit of this; A^State since his election in 1908. ^- We are proud of Philip H Stoll as a citizen of Kingstr^e. We con- j I gratulate him upon his appointment' to this high office in the United I States army; we sympathise with those to whom he is nearest and > dearest and will miss him from the family circle and the fireside's evening glow and we pray that every blessing may rest upon him and that in^due season he will return to them 1 and to us. Cades. A page of this issue of The Record is devoted to the busy little municipality of Cades, one of the livest villages in the county. It proves this fKn onirif ovnrneoo^ in fKic nonor UJ Hit O^UIV tAJ/4 VOUVU III VII1U [/upvi| I and this is not the first time the town has shown its prdgressiveness by the liberal use of The Record's advertising columns. Within the past two years the town of Cades has steadily come to the front, not only in material growth but also in the things that go to make up the best and highest ideals in human culture, such as churches, Sunday-schools and educa-! tional institutions. Only recently, J in the course of years, the town has erected a magnificent school building that would be a credit to a town of much larger size. This building is equipped with all the essentials that tend to the accomplishment of "the sound mind in the healthy body," the great desideratum of modern school training. In building and commercial growth the town has made great strides within the past three or four years, and its era of progressiveness and business expansion seems to be yet in its infancy. It is the center of an unexcelled agricultural country for miles around; the soil is fertile and easily cultivated and with little work can be made to produce anything, from the tiny radish in all of its beauty and pungency to the more stately and lucrative -crops of cotton knd ?orn for fall harvesting. And with a population comprising men r. and women of superior intelligence and natural thrift,these fertile fields - are made to bring forth the year round such produce as is easily and r conveniently marketed at tht town i of Cades. A gteat adjunct to the business progress of the community is the' Bank of Cades, an institution established severai years ago, and which j' has since enjoyed a steady and substantial growth.

'*?, 1 \ / COMMUNITY FAIR AT HEMINGWAY. \ ;SPLENDID DEMONSTRATION OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY. Hemingway, September 28:?This has been a gala day for this and all surrounding communities, it being the occasion of the annual community fair. Two years ago a beginning was made by the ladies of the community and ouite a disDlav of fancy work and canned produce was made in one of the stores in town, but this year required the largest tobac10 warehouse in Hemingway to hold the numerous exhibits. Never before has this section of Williamsburg county realized what possibilities it is capable of, and the exhibits showed some of tl e things that we were actually doing. Half of the large building was entirely taken up with booths holding the exhibits of the girls' canning Hubs, women's home demonstration Hubs, fancy work, needle work, general farm exhibits, and individual farm exhibits. The other portion of the fair building was given over to the exhibition of hogs and chickens. The committee of judges pronounced the exhibits to be the eaual of any seen at the county fairs of this section, especially this being the case in regard to tne articles displayed by the ladies and girls. The display of fancy work of all kinds was beautiful in its artistic arrangement which showed off well the degree of skill with which each piece was made. This booth was especially interesting and attractive because of the verv great variety of handwork. It v/as a source of neverending astonishment to the men that so many beautiful articles could be made with needle and thread. The booths containing the canned produce of field, orchard and gardden, was a revelation?canned butter beans, string beans, wax beans, pepper hash, pepper mangoes, pickled peppers, pepper sauce, green pepper, red pepper, cyenne pepper, pimentoes, bell pepper, mixed pickle, palmetto eabbage pickle, sweet cabbage pickle, cantaloupe pickle, irish potato pickle, onion pickle, sweet pickled grapes, grape pickle, beet pickle, peach pickle, Virginia chowf?hr?u.'

The individual farm exhibits of the Longwood Farm Company and of the Haselden farm each contained more than thirty products and were so arranged as to show the advantage of rotation of crops and the value of cover crops to the soil. The exhibit of chickens and hogs was good. Master George Simmons showed his fifteen-months old pig weighing 350 pounds. Dinner was served by the Ladies' Aid society. The Red Cross auxiliary sold candy for the benefit of its organization, and Mrs Wiggs presided in her cabbage patch and sold cabbage from which the purchaser might draw anything from a doll's dress to a pocketknife. At 12 o'clock the assemblage was addressed by Mr Archie Barron of Manning, who gave a most practical and appreciated talk on agriculture and the raising of livestock. Despite the inclement weather, large crowds thronged the fair building all day. The people of the several communities in this section of the county are now determined to have a permanent organization and next year they intend to have even a larger and better fair. Too much credit cannot be given the local girls' club, under whose ausDicesthe fair was held. Five hundred bushels government inspected seed oats on hand at 10-4 Scott-Log an Co.'s.

It is a pleasure for me to recommend it to anyone who luis symptoms of indigestion or stomach trouble and if they will try it I am sure they will find it everything I have said it to be," writes Mr W T Cash, proprietor of a well known clothing, shoes, hats, and men's furnishing store in Bristol, Virginia. A statement such as the above from a merchant of integrity who knew all the agony of stomach trouble lor ten years or more must cenvince the reader that after all is said and done, just plain, everyday natural medicinal iron, concentrated as it is in Acid Iron Mineral is the cheapest, best, medicine to bring the system back to normal and purify and enrich the blood. It is unusual, helps the appetite, and costs but little, a teaspoonful in a glass of water after meals being a most invigorating dose. Wliole families bike it fall and spring as a tonic.

Jno P Grace,editor of the Charleston American, appeared before the postoffice department at Washington yesterday to show cause why his paper should not be denied secondclass privileges. Decision was deferred. The charge was the publication of matter in violation of the espionage act. There have been many similar cases before the department, and a number of newspapers have been denied second-class privileges, and individual issues have been excluded from the mails altogether.
