Our County Fair.
Williamsburg county's third annual
fair will be held November 13 to
16, inclusive, and from present indications
it will be the greatest fair
ever held in Kingstree. In 1916,
notwithstanding that our county suffered
from the disastrous flood and
storm, we held a better fair than |
the year before and our exhibits ex-'
ceeded our most sanguine expecta-'
tions. With the return of prosperity (
and plenty this year, there is no reason
why we should not have the very!
largest and best to be had.

County fair association is
the development of our agricultural
resources and the promotion of the
material, educational and industrial ]
interests of the county. Since its organization,
the growth and improvement
in live stock, poultry and farm
products have been marvelous, j
. When the fair was first organized
\ there were hardly any pure-bred
fowls in the county; now our poultry
exhibit, based on that of last year,!
will rank next to the best made
i
in the State. The importance
irmnrainn/y anr nf Kactq !
U1 IUl|/I KJ V UA?s UUI UIWU V* HV59 ,
has been taught and emphasized,
and the county ranks first
in the State as to number raised,
saying nothing about the quality.,
The same improvement and develop- :
ment may also be seen throughoutI
the county in cattle L r beef purposes
as well as better milchers. Our
annual fairs have already been a
wonderful incentive along new lines
of development,and it should be the
determination of every person in the
county to make the fair this fall the '
largest and best.
No pains will be spared in provid-1
ing entertainment and amusement;
for the people who attend. There 1
will be high-class attractions, and i

the road, whose shows are all clean j
and entertaining. These free attrac
tions will be announced next we/k. j
The premium list will be ready in;
a few days, and your secretary will j
begin its distribution immediately.
The premiums offered in many cases j
are larger and more attractive, and '
it will be to your interest to supply j
yourself with a copy of it. Drop a
line to the secretary and get your
copy so that you may prepare your
exhibits and then notify him on
entry blanks which he will furnish
vmi
J
The programme for each day is
being arranged by the entertainment
committee, and will be both
educational and entertaining.
Let us all come together, pull to- j
gether, and make this, the third
county fair, bigger than the biggest.
We have the resources and enough
public spirited citizens to make it
possible, then, why not do it?
A Bad Practice.
Last Sunday afternoon while Mr.
F. W. Fairey and family were going
through the northern part of town
in his automobile a little boy threw
a stick a the car, striking one of Mr
\
Fairey'? 1:*tie girl's near the eye.
The ^urkia.^ i*rfore that while driving
his auto through the same part
of town another little boy threw a
rock at me car striking Mrs Fairey
on the head. Neither incident was
serious as far as injury is considered,
but the throwing of sticks and rocks
at passing autobiles is a serious thing
and should be stopped.
It is reported to us that the practice
among small boys is of frequent
occurrence in other parts of town
also. It encumbent upon parents to
take this matter up with their chil
dren and show then the danger of
it. Don't get it into your head that
your child would not do such a thing,
for as a matter of fact he is not unlike
other children and may not see
the danger in his act until it is too
late. Spend a few minutes in showing
and advising your child against
such mischief and it will do good.
But if that should fail to accomplish
the desired result, then we would
suggest an application of the old reliable
"black gum oil." When properly
administered it seldom fails,
as manyfjf us know from experience.
However we advise that this be the
last resort.

f
SUFFERED TWO YEARS WITH PEL
LAGRA. SHE COULDN'T WALK
ABOUT THE HOUSE. IRON
BUILT HER l^P.
TELLS WHAT KIND OF
IRON TO fAKE.
Everyone's energy, vitality anil
general good health depend? si
[much upon the condition of then
i blood, and the normal functioning
| of the the vital organs of the stomach,
kidneys, liver, and bowels, the
'slightest irregularity should lie corI
rected immediately.
Anyone troubled with their
blood, for instance, is sure to sooner
or later experience uric acid pains,
weak, lame back, lost strength, nervousness,
headaches, dizzy spell? or
some other kindred symptoms, and
iron has become so well known as
the one best remedy everybody
should use it. The question is, in
what form? Iron is put up bv the
chemist in pills, liquid solutions,
and mixed with all sorts of element?
including, in some cases, altogether
too much alcohol for the good oi
the system.
The cheapest, strongest, most efficient
remedy is plain, natural
iron, highly concentrated, and tattled
just as nature intended it should
be taken. It is called Acid Iron
Mineral, is sold by druggists in fiftycent
and dollar bottles. It gf>es
from two to six times as far. It
will help the digestion, stomach,
kidneys, and blood. If the Inovels
are inactive a good liver pill like the
A-l-.M Liver nil at isoc inr generous
size Ik>.\ is recommended. People
with normal bowels should not
use iron formed in combination with
laxatives. , Altogether too many
remedies contain purgatives.
To indicate how quickly Acid
Irod Mineral will cleanse the blood
and tone up the general system and
renew the wasted strength the statement
of Mrs N E Phillips of Kershaw,
S is quoted below:
"1 l<eg:m to be troubled with my
bowels, stomach and blood a little
over two years ago. Tt finally turned
into pellagra ami at the end of
that two years suffering 1 couldn't
even walk al>out the house. Mrs
Ella Hunter suggested I take Acid
Iron Mineral and after taking it six
weeks and using hut four small hotties,
i am up al>out doing my work
and gaining in strength every day.
It has dune nie more ginnl than anything
I have ever tried and am glad
indeed to recommend it to anyone
who needs a good tonic or for pella
gra or stomach trouble."
A teaspoonful of Acid Iron Mineral
in a glass of water after meals
makes an unusual, powerful, economical
and delightfully invigorating
tonic, appetizer, blood and kidne\\
remedy.

hasn't it will l>e sent prepaid on receipt

TREMENDOl
FOR NEW
There Are Others
When a druggist sells a bottle of
bitters to a drunk man, or a drinking
man,or a man who usually drinks,
he might well know that it is not being
bought for medicinal purposes.
In fact, there is no excuse for selling
bitters at all; they have no value as
a medicine, and the amount of alcohol
contained in a bottle is the only
reason the stuff is ever bought. If
the druggist does not believe that he
is operating a grog shop,let him have
thechiefof police conduct him around
in certain back lots and cite him to
the bitters bottles in the weeds.
There is not a great deal of this being
done in this county, but even a
little bitters is too much. The Star
believes that the druggist will hereafter,
having been told the facts, refrain
from selling the stuff, except
in wm homo on<4 in funt frnm hliv
ing it himself.?Marion Star.
It may be correctly inferred from
the above that Kingstree is not the
/
only town in the State that has tc
1 put up with this obnoxious business
It is not a case where that old saw
"misery loves company," applies
! On the other hand the inference ii
an unpleasant one.for with it natur
ally comes the conclusion that then
are still other towns and communi
ties which are infested with a clas
| of parasites who indulge in and traf
fic in ginger, "bitters," extracts oi
other alcoholic concoctions, merel:
for the sake of the alcohol, and thi
nnltrv nricp it brines.

More Than Three Thousanc
Bottles of Vitona Sold by

Ten Days.
KINGSTREE DRUG
COMPANY WINS THE
KINGSTREE AGENCY
Although Introduced in Soutl
' Carolina Less Than Three
Weeks Ago, Is Biggest
Seller In the State.
The Vitona agency for the cit>
of K'ngstree has been awarded tlx
Kingstree Drug Co and the peoph
. of this city may now enjoy the hen
efits of this great discovery.
Vitona was placed on sale in Co
lunibia about three weeks ago, ant
many remarkable statements an
now being made by people of tha
city who have been restored t<
health by its use after every othe
medicine and treatment failed.
That over three thousand bot
, ties of the preparation were sold b;
Columbia dealers alone in ten day
time after its introduction there, i
' ample evidence of the popularit;
J Vitona is enjoying. It is now sai<
to be the largest selling preparatioi
? handled by Seuth Carolina drug
. gists and dealers, and the deman
for it is steadilv increasing.
Vitona is not classed wit
the average proprietary medicines
r which are in many cases nothin
V more nor less than medicated alee
? hoi, which stimulates and does nc
give lasting relief. Vitona is mor
than a medicine. It is the liqui
extraction of a rare mineral combi
t nation, prepared in nature's ow
2 laboratory in the bowels of the eart
ages ago, but heretofore unknow:
to man. It contains iron, calcium
sodium, lithium, stronthian, mag
nesium and other minerals, each c
, which is known to possess grea
i therapeutic value. In the treat
f ment of rheumatism, blood diseases
- stomach and kidney disorders, ani
1 ;is a reconstructive tonic, it siir.pl;
