A BRILLIANT SUCCESS. j L.' Katcha-Koo Draws a Crowded House 1 and Highly Pleases Everyone. ' D Katcha-Koo, the American-Oriental. ^ musical comedy presented here last ^ Friday night under the auspices of jn the United Daughters of the Confederacy by local talent under the able, direction of Miss Dagmar Carlson of 1 pj Fort Worth. Texas, was one of, ifj not the most brilliant and highly enjoyable entertainment ever staged in j ^ Kingstree. It was a splendid success ] from every point of view and through ^ its production here Miss Carlson, of fr far away Texas, has made many new and lasting friendships. For two i weeks she was in intimate touch with j seventy-five or a hundred of our cit- ^ izens, representatives from nearly every family in Kingstree, whom she carefully and efficiently trained to perform so creditably the roles asscribed to them. j In praise of the performance too much cannot be said but for lack of space we are unable utterly, to give a detailed account of its brilliancy and the excellent manner in which Di each of the performers did his or her te The gross receipts from the pro- th duction amounted to sonething over two hundred dollars. ca ???o??? fr Annual Meeting Hotel Company. The first annual meeting of the Kingstree Hotel company was held at the hotel Monday night when a D< majority of the stock was represented either in person or by proxy. The le meeting was called to order by the br vice-president, Mr. L. W. Gilland and hi Mr. J. D. O'Brian acted as secretary, ro A report was made by the treasurer, ca Mr. E. E. King as to the financial st condition of the company, which show- pi ed that money is urgently needed to th meet obligations that will become due and payable the first of January. The hotel, under its present capable management has been operated sue- D< cessfully and at a p?*ofit to the company, but in a few days another pay- yc ment will fall due on the original m 0& purchase price of the property and if this should default the whole ch amount becomes due. Also in addi- dj tion to the payment due on the mortgage, interest on the deferred pay- is ments will be due and there are sums dc jdue on the new furniture and equip- nt met that must be met promptly. Therefore every stockholder is urged si to pay as much of the amount of his sc pledge as possible. SI There are a number of subscribers pi to the capital stock who have not paid anything on their obligation and these delinquents must come across in order to meet present or maturing indebtedness by the company. We dj can't afford to treat this matter light- if ly, it is an important one to every Sj good citizen of the town and must be met bravely. The old members of the Board of directors were re-elected with one exception, Mr. W. H. Welch being elected to the vacancy on the board caused le by the death of Mr. W. H. Carr. The | bx Board of directors elected Mr. L. W. lit Gilland, president to succeed Mr. F. ?1 W. Fairey. Mr. E. E. King was re- be elected secretary and treasurer. e tv Card of Thanks. m The Williamsburg Chapter U. D. C. wishes to express appreciation to sc all those who so ably contributed to ni the success of "Kaltha-Koo". in HEALTHFUL VIGOR * IN STRONG BLOOD > RICH, RED BLOOD BUILT UP BY D PPEPTO-MANGAN?LIQUID OR TABLET. ol fo Blood is strong and full of life-giv- a ing vigor when there are plenty of fr red cells in it Anemic people have ^ little strength because there are not ^ enough red cells in the blood. It is (lt thin and watery. Weak blood makes m faces pale, pulls down the strength and leaves the body tired, weak, and sickly. A course in Gude s Pepto-Mangan ^ restores weak blood to its normal strength. Taken regularly for a while S? it adds red cells to the blood. Then ta with good blood, the strength and: vigor of health return. There is ni pleasure in living, with good blood 1,1 running through the veins. Gude's Pepte-Mangan is put up in liquid and in tablet form. Physicians have prescribed Gude's Pepto-Mangan for ywirs. The name "Gude's Pepto-Mangan" is on the package.?Advertise- sc mm-.
