The New Development Board. }5 Mr. E. D. Kizer of Columbia was in v Kingstree Tuesday in the interest of v the South Carolina Development Board and during his stay here called on some of the leading business and professional men of the town. From what Mr. Kizer said to The Record c loovi'rop Tnpsrlav OYf*nin?T. c UCJLV/l C w ? ? 0, and knowing as we do the renewed 1 interest and enthusiasm felt ir. the 2 work of the board in other counties j* of the State, it would seem that in a , '* very short time now a new and strong- j I er hold will be taken on the work in . ^ Williamsburg county and Kingstree. t An organization will be formed under i * the district chairmanship of Mr. J. W. McGown of Florence, whose dis- 1 trict will embrace the counties of Florence, Williamsburg, Marion, Horry and Georgetown. There will also be . a chairman in each of the several counties above named, with a force of S assistants to carry the work forward, j The editor of The Record had the 1 very pleasant privilege last week of z attending a meeting called by Gov- \ ernor Cooper, of the members of the 1 South Carolina Press association, ( which is composed ot the editors 011 < the State. The meeting1 was held | < Monday at 1 o'clock in the Jefferson 1 hotel. The object of the meeting, the i governor stated, was to outline the ' present plan of campaign to be made in the interest of the South Carolina Development Board before the newspaper men of the State, giving them first hand information. i Everyone present was provided i with a list of questions and answers , concerning the ob|ect of the organ- j ization. These questions and answers { will be published in The County Record next week so that our peo- * pie may have a clear understanding j of the board's functions, than it has ' had heretofore. The name of the organization, it will be npted, was , changed from the "South Carolina < Land Owners Association" to that of < the "South Carolina Development Board." which now adequately befits the organization. i A membership campaign will be ; started here within a few weeks and ; every man in the county will be called upon to join and thus become a part of the greatest cooperative body it is j possible for any State to possess. o There is either a great dirth of I watches in Florence county or an enormous surplus of Ananias'.

Coker, one of the best J informed men in the South on the subject of cotton, furnishes us the following information on the present cotton outlook: "During the past 10 days the staple cotton areas of the Mississippi Valley have been visited by tremendous floods of rain which have fallen almost even," day which have seriously injured the already poor prospects. A considerable percentage of the cotton lands are under water and will not be planted to cotton at all. The staple cotton sections of Arkansas. Tennessee, and upper Mississippi arc only about half planted. i "In view of very disastcrous conditions prevailing in the area which produces at least two-thirds of the American upland staples, it looks as if there might be again a famine of , xhis kind of cotton next season. In fact, it does not seem possible even with ideal conditions throughout the j balance of the season to produce suf- i ficient cotton of all kinds to supply nf +V10 wnrlrl " UIC UCXUO vx ?i?v ..V>?. Hartsville, May 18. o Robert B. Glenn, former governor of North Carolina and a member of the International Waterways Commis- < sion, was found dead jn bed at the Royal Alexandria hotel, Winnipeg, < Sunday night. Death was due to heart disease. A trained nurse, who had been in constant attendance on the former governor for the past year, . was the only person with him when < he died. Over exertion on the com- < mission's tour of investigation of the St. Lawrence deep waterway project 1 hastened his death, it is said. ; o 1 Death of Mrs. Wilson. : Mrs. Nelson Wilson of Suttons died Monday at the Kelley Sanitorium. She was about 40 ytar^ of age and ( had been in failing health for some time. The remains were taken Monday to the home community of the de- ' vceased fo.- interment. j i Weather Damaging to Crops. Farmers are becoming a little "blue" >ver the continued excessively cool veather, which is materially damagng the young crops, especially that >f cotton, which in many instances las turned yellow and stopped growng. The cool mornings are not so lamaging to corn, but the growth of :otton is being seriously retarded and bunted. Tobacco is also being hurt o some degree by the unseasonable veather and farmers are wanting varmer weather, especially at night. o Mrs. Fannie Cooper Dead. Mrs. Fannie Cooper, beloved wife >f Mr. W. A. Cooper of the Suttons ommunity, died suddenly last Frilay night at the home of a relative Lt. Courdin. Mrs. Cooper had been iuing in an automobile with her son i short time before she passed away, t is thought that owing to her ad aneed age, the jolting of the car >rought about an internal condition vhich resulted in death. Mrs. Cooper is survived by her ljus>and and several grown children. o Hatches Twin Chicks. Mr. C. L. Gordon of Andrews, Rt. 1, was in Kingstree Monday and rejoited to The Record that recently lis wife sat a hen on thirteen eggs ind hatched fifteen chicks. The eggs vere procured from a neighbor who las a pen headed by twin cocks. Two >f the thirteen eggs were double and ;ach hatched two perfectly well formid chicks. This is another instance, xx>, of the falacy of the prevailing superstition regarding the number 'thirteen." o Capt. W. L. McCutchen Honored. At a recent meeting of the Sons of Veterans of the State at Sumter, Capt. W. L. McCutchen was elected comnander of the South Carolina Divison of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Capt. McCutchen is a veteran of the World War, having served as a capain of infantry in the 30th Infantry, Third Division, throughout the war. He was formerly a member of Camp James McCutchen of Kingstree, which ivas named in honor of his father, Col. James McCutchen of Indiantown o Don't forget to attend the great Crushed Price Sale now going on at ^ c imninn & Go 's store. at Lane. ; s. c. j o The Chautauqua a Success. The Redpath Chautuaqua closed a ! five-day engagement here Tuesday night. The attractions furnished were of a very high class and were greatly enjoyed by large crowds in attendance at each and every performance. Financially the venture was a success, and we are told that several hundred dollars over and above the $1200 guarantee was taken in. A contract for a return engagement ext year was signed by a number of citizens. It is useless to say that the ladies of the town made the affair a financial success. They did the necessary work and are certainly due whatever praise is due the community for the success of the undertaking. 0 666 quickly relieves Constipation, Billiousness, Loss of Appetite and Headaches, due to Torpid Liver.

MISTRIAL FOR JAKE GOSNELLI Defendant is Released Under Bond of $4,000 by Judge. Greenville, S. C., May 18.?After a mistrial had been ordered by the court at 10 o'clock this morning in the case of Jake Gosnell, charged with the murder of Sheriff Hendrix Rector, last July, the defendant was released from the county jail at 5:15 o'clock this afternoon under bond of $4,000. Bondsmen were quickly secured when the court fixed the bail at $4,000, and Jake Gosnell ate supper about the family table in his Greenville home with his wife and daughter. Those L- ?' +1".

The case went to the jury at 6 o'clock last night, and the mistrial was ordered after approximately fifteen hours of deliberation. o Get-Together Banquet. Cincinnati, May IT.?Members of the Midwest-South Atlantic trip party feel tonight that the object in Cincinnati has succeeded in a large measure. Cincinnati business men proved themselves sincerely interested in the message brought to them by the South Atlantic representatives and voiced at a large get-together banquet given at the Hotel Gibson by Hon. R. Goodwin Rhett, of Charleston, former president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and Judge George T. Cann of Savannah. . These speakers brought vividly to the attention of the Cincinnatians the appreciation they feel for what assistance has so far been rendered by local organizers here in securing for South Atlantic ports export freight rates which are on a parity with New York. "The South Atlantic ports of Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick and Jacksonville either have today or are in the process of securing every facility for the most expeditious handling of Midwest J freight destined for markets abroad." j declared Mr. Rhett. He further stated ' that the ports represented in the party j which is now touring the Midwest have a national significance greatly to be developed as assets of the entire country. Your Fight is Our Fight. P. \V. Drackett. Sr.. served as toastmaster of the occasion and fittingly expressed the mutual cause as it now stands by saying to the trip participants: "Your problem is our problem; your fight, our fight, and you may feel well assured that Cincinnati has now greater realization of the benefits which your respective ports offer.: We are peculiarly privileged at hav- ! ing you in Cincinnati and pleased that ^ you are making it the first stop on your itinary. We wish you might re-1 main longer and even that you might I return via Cincinnati, and wi^h that the greatest of success may be yours ; J? ie aKparl of VOU."

SHOULD TAKE PEPTO-MANGAN Red-Blooded Men and Women Know What They Want to Do and Do It. If may be you are just recovering from a sick spell?or may be your system is run down and your blood so weak that you are in a poor shape to resist ujlecuon? But if you don't feel and look robust you are not robust. Such state is often due to weak blood, not enough red blood cells, a condition known as anemia. The best remedy for anemia (bloodlessness) with its low mental and physical vigor is Gude's Pepto-Mangan. Pepto-Mangan supplies the weak, watery blood with the very elements it needs to put new hie into it. It repairs, re-creates, and re-builds the exhausted blood, the vital fluid of health and life. Try Pepto-Mangan if you are "rundown." It cannot harm you ?it will certainly help you unless you have some deep-seated chronic disease requiring the physician's care. Be sure the name "Gude's" is on the package. Without "Gude's" it is not Pepto-Mangan. For sale at all druggists.?Advertisement. SHE ???P?p????M? ???
