? Builders' Supply Company Cuts Price?
Those who have been waiting for
N lower prices in building material will
* now find real price reductions on sid
ing, flooring ceiling and finish lumber,
at Builders' Supply Company,
, corner of Hampton Avenue and Rail<
road.
, The management advises that' the
' cut-price sale is not a clean up of odds
, i and ends, but covers a complete as*
_. sortment of well manufactured stocks,
/ The idea is to help bring down buil%
ding costs and thereby encourage
more building in Kingstree and Williamsburg
County.

^ Crippled Child Leaves for Minnesota
On last Friday Miss Minnie Lee
- Kichardson, a very bright and attrac- 1
I tive young lady of about fifteen years
of age and*for some years past an inmate
of the Epworth Orphanage, Co-1
lumbia, left here over the Atlantic
Coast line for Rochester Minnesota
where through the efforts of Dr. E.
' T. Kelley and the zealousness of Mr*. ^
J. T. Sexton, the young lady was sen:
. for treatment to the sanatorium of
> the famous Mayo Brothers, physician*
. and surgeons.
Some time ago, Miss 'Richardson
t was visiting in the home of Mrs. Sex?
ton, and while there her condition was
' noticed by Dr. Kelley, who, believing,
that her crippled limb can be made i
useful by an operation, at once set on j
foot a movement to send the child to
the Mayo Sanatorium, Rochester,
Minnesota.
Miss Richardson is a pretty goldcr
J haired girl of fifteen, bright in con
\ersation and cheerful in spirit.!
though a cripple and forced to walk on
' crutches as the aftermath of a case 01
typhoid fever.
The young lady's visit to the Sex-,
' ton family terminated and she returned
to the orphanage. Then Mrs. J
Sexton undertook the collection by |
popular subscription of a sufficient-j
, sum to send the girl to Mayo's and |
defray her expenses while there. In;
the interim, Dr. Kelley had taken the j
matter up with the distinguished sur- j
i geons and they offered their professional
services free of charge. Lasi
1 week the necessary amount of money
had been raised by Mrs. Sexton, and
with a railroad ticket by way of AtJ
lanta, provided by the local A. C. L.
Agent Harden and his foi-ce,the young
lady was started for Minnessota Friday.
Mrs. Sexton is enthusiastic over
, her work, ;uid reports that cash con;
tributions were received from about
, 400 personand nearly $300 was
raised.
t Miss Richardson will probably have
to spend from two to three months at
the Mayo Sanatorium. Mrs. Sexton
and Dr. Kelley are grateful to those
' who contributed to this worthy cause.
