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.

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. There are numer-:

at home. 1
Cades, like many other towns in 1
the glorious Southland, is gradually ,
but surely coming into its own. and ;
we would like to see others in the
county follow its example. 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,

wine,grapejuice,cauliflower and anything
else that can be canned, preserved
or put up in any way.
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.

CLOTHING MAN
GAINS 35 POUNDS
BY TARING IRON!
i .
SAYS SIX FIFTY-CENT BOTTLES
BROUGHT RELIEF AFTER TEN
LONG YEARS OF SUFFERING.
TelU What Kind of Iron He
Recommends.
j "I was troubled with my stomach !
! for ten years, and in that time I!
bought almost every kind of medicine
ar.d couldn't begin t<? say how'
much I took or paid out for medical
i service, yet nothing did me any
igood. Then I began using Acid
I Iron Mineral and I don't think I
had taken more than six of the fifty cent
Iwttles when I began feeling
letter than I ever did. I only weigh-1
ed lb"> pounds when I l>egan taking!
Acid Iron Mineral and now I weigh
l.SO pounds. 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. Absolutely non-injurious,
contains no alcohol, nartotie, or
habit-forming drugs. Does not upset
the liver, stomach, or bowels,
nor injure the teeth.
If your druggist hasn't it send a
dollar to the Ferrodine Chemical
Corp, Roanoke; Ya, for a large size
bottle prepaid.
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.

for hours as a person who had been
running. I bad to be very careful
of what I ate, for everything I ate
hurt me more or less. I nearly always
had a headache and I never
felt well.
"The Tanlac quickly ended that I

my stomach soon was strengthened j
and corrected so I ate heartily and j

Those headaches were relived and
my whole system was regulated and
strengthened. I am glad to recommend
