A Happy New Year to You!
In wishing you a very happy and
prosperous New Year we want to
assure you of our appreciation of
your patronage during the past.
And the best way we know of showing
our appreciation is in better
service on each and every oppor-1
tumty in the future. i
A gift with a string tied to it is
of less value than the string.
January 1st is noted for two
things. It brings in a new year and
a prist of bills.
No person is poor who has a
normal body, pood health, a clear
eye and a clean mind.
Scratch your "noggin" and try to
think of some one you might make
happier during this Yuletide.
Don't bother about sending a nice,
fat waiter to your well-to-do neighbor.
You may know some one who
is not blessed with the season's
Dounty.
Now that Christmas is over and we
won't be called upon to play Santa
Claus for twelve months hence, let's
all settle down to business again
with a higher standard as our goal
for 1918.
Old St Nicholar, as usual made
his appearance in Kingstree sometime
during the wee sma' hours between
Monday night and Tuesday
morning, and so far we have not
heard of a single child being over
looked. If there was one we would
like to know of it before the New
Year dawns, next Tuesday morning.
We are gratified to note that to
bridges on the public roads leading
out of Kingstree, Road Engineer
Jennings is applying a "quaker
trick" that greatly relieves the
jostle and clatter the driver has
heretofore had to experience when
going over these bridges in buggy,
wagon or auto. The "trick" consists
of laying longitudinally, board
tracks over the plank floor of the
bridges about 18 inches wide where
the wheels of vehicles will pass.
We are sure travelers will appreciate
this improvement and it is
certain that the wear and tear on
the bridges will be less severe.
Raise Wheat and Meat.
Decrease in the consumption of
meats and wheat and the growing
scarcity of food is likely to cause
an increase in the spread of pellagra,
according to the recent report
of Dr James A Hayne, secretary of
the State board of health. During
I
)
the year there were 541 deaths
i against 553 the previous year from
| pellagra. Concerning this disease
Dr Hayne says:
"Pellagra is still a menace to oar
population, and with the growing
scarcity of food, and the patriotic
efforts to cut down meat and wheat,;
we are afraid that possibly there)
may be an increase this year, if the j
theory of the United States public
health service as to the cause of this
disease is correct,"
If Dr Hayne's theory is correct,
and in the light of what has been
discovered after exhaustive tests,
no one has reason to doubt, is it not
a sufficiently strong argument to
every farmer and land owner in
C? t U f VvaKhq tn roico \ir Koof Q r? rl i

meat abundantly? Certainly enough
should be produced within the State
to supply the net-ds of her people
since it is pointed out that by so
doing an effectual fight is being
waged against a disease that is almost
as loathsome as tuberculosis.
Christmas at Cedar Swamp.
Cedar Swamp, December 26.?To
spend the pleasant Yuletide days
some are coming home, while others
are going away to join their loved
ones and friends in celebrating this
eventful occasion. Those who took
their departure were Misses Ella and
Ola Smith to Johnston, Claudia Buchanan
to Winnsboro and Lillian Salters
to Salters. These young ladies
have the responsibility of training
the tender minds of the pupils of
Cedar Swamp school to think, and
at the same time directing their
thoughts in a channel leading to noble
deeds. They have made many
friends in this community and suffice
it to say we wish them a happy
Christmas hjliday.
Miss Grace Haddock, one of our
charming young ladies,whose friends
are legion,has returned to McLeod's
training school for nurses, at Florence,after
spending a few days with
her friends here. Miss Haddock will (
be a full-fledged nurse next June. ,
Sergeant Thomas Chandler, Cor- <
poral Will McCullough.Tom Phillips, (
Davis McGill, all of Camp Sevier, ,
Greenville,have been on a short fur- (
lough during the holidays in order j
to visit their parents. These young ,
men volunteered last year" and did
service on the border of Texas and (
Mexico. Perhaps they will leave j
in a very short time for"somewhere ]
in France." I
Miss Naper McCrea, one of our j
most amiable young ladies, is at j
home for the holidays. s

graduate of Cedar Swamp Graded
school last year, is spending the holi- .

The Christmas tree at the school
house last Friday evening was the ,
event of the season. An entertain- {
ing program was arranged for the
wai ting spectators until Santa Claus
safely landed on the scene in an air
super-dreadnaught piloted by a famous
aeronautical expert, where a
large tree was beautifully lighted by '
the soft glow of burning tallow can- j
dies artistically arranged upon the
limbs laden with presents.for old and '
young were most graciously remem- 1
bered. Even old Santa Claus caught
the spirit of merriment and, attired
in a gorgeous habiliment,with heavy
boots, he "cut the pigeon wing" on j
the stage with the alacrity with
which he ''tripped the light fantastic
toe" in his youthful day. WES.

A Beautiful Christmas Service.
The special service held at the]
Zvlethodist church here iast Sunday |
nieht was one of the most beauti-!
ful ever witnessed in Kin^stree'sj
churches. The service termed "The
Feast of Li^ht," was symbolical in
its nature, representing the Christ
and his apostles as the greater light
by large burning tapers while the
lesser lights. Christian churches and
individual Christians were represented
by smaller tapers. The beloved
pastor. Rev Harmon.in an impromptu
talk, explained the lights most
interestingly and he has been much
complimented on the service as a
whole. The decorations were artistically
arranged and the special
musical selections added such charm
and beauty to the occasion as will
make it memorable to those whose
pleasure it was to be present.
Merchants' Contest Closes.
The Merchants' Trade Extension j
campaign, inaugurated some time
ago by the Kingstree Drug Co and
participated in by a number of the
town merchants, came to a close at
midnight Monday. During the first
and last days of the campaign the
contest was spirited and many votes
were secured for the competitors.
The number of contestants remaining
in the campaign at the close was
small in comparison with the number
that entered, and in the interest
of these their respective friends did
some lively work during the last
days of the campaign. Mis9 Louise
McCutchen, the little daughter of
Mr and Mrs Thos Mcuutchen, was
the winner and will be entitled to
enjoy the handsome piano given as
the capital prize in the contest.
Hartsville Woman Shoots Husband.
Hartsville, December 21:?Mrs B
F Culpepper shot and seriously
wounded her husband, Ben F Culpepper,
near the Coast Line passenger
station here this afternoon. The
young couple were recently married.
The cause of the trouble is j
not known. It appears that they
were standing on the street leading
from the depot to the cotton mill
talking and that the husband turned
to walk away whea his wife
pulled a revolver and fired. It is
said that five shots were fired at
:lose range, two taking effect, one

Mrs Culpepper was taken into

police, and was carried to jail at
Darlington to await the result of
:he wounds. The injured man i9
leing given careful attention by
ahvsicians and while his wounds are
serious he may recover.
