D., rector of Porter Military Academy, Charleston, was in Kingstree Sunday and officiated morning and evening at St. A1 ban's Episcopal church.

He has a host of friends in Kingstree who regret very much that his official connection with the church has terminated. It is expected that the Rev.

This plan was adopted and Mrs. Clarence Alsbrook and Mrs. J. C. Epps were appointed to serve during the month of June, with the understanding that they could call on the whole club if necessary to assist them in carrying out any idea that seemed best to them.

Every woman is interested in her wedding ring?that little band of u gold or silver which is the outward sign of plighted troth. ^ It is, of course, emblematic of the highest things, being first of all a " circle which represents eternity?a love, a constancy, a satisfaction with . each other which will go on "till " death do them part" ^ Secondly, it is of gold, because gold is (or was until the advent of plati- r< num) the rarest and therefore the most precious of metals. P Solomon s&id that the value of a b good woman was above rubies, but ?j indeed it would be a man richer than ? Solomon who could afford to give H his lady love a ring hewn out of and ^ fashioned from a pigeon's blood ruby! D However, I once saw a ring made out of one emerald. It must have j been, a wondrous stone, for the lady's (j-J ? + ZA finger was not over small, ana it p would take a fairly large emerald fcj to encompass the finger of a six- J inch glove hand. , 9 But the ring I saw looked noth- ? ing; the heart of it had been punch- 3 ed out to make something for which 1 it was never intended, with the re- ^ suit that it seemed to be nothing |i| more valuable than a piece of jade, [j Now that platinum is the rarest 3 metal lovers seek it to deck the be- 3 loved because?rbut perhaps not only 1 because?of its rarity. For it does, >j indeed, possess a subtle loveliness of ^ its own which the more blatant gold % cannot boast. ^ Although it is dim, it is in nowise 3 dull, and, slenderly set around a pret- J ty finger, it could make a diamond 4 seem like- a scintillating dewdrop 4 placed there, instead of on a rose- 'i leaf, by fairy hands. ^ During the war flying men gave O their wives wedding rings made out of aluminum. Not, of course, to typi- ~ fy lightness, nor because their love n was of a flightly character, but be- ^ cause it was the thing most reminis- & cent of the lover, and therefore, g the thing that the beloved would | yalue the most! |1 TmW4 in miirfinv durs it is not Sc the gft of the lover, but rather the | love of the giver, which is of the ? greatest importance. Some wedding rings are thick, | others thin; some have words in- ft scribed inside them; some signs. Some have a tiny stone sunk in ? the gold, so as to be scarcely vis- ^ ible to the outside eye, and only of p importance to the donor and the g wearer?their loved little secret, hid- ? den in their hearts and memorized | forever in concrete form in the lit- ? tie band of gold upon the loved one's ? finger. p It is said the third finger of the g left hand was chosen to be the wed- 3S ding finger because a small vein runs ? direct from it to the heart. Yet in ? most European countries the ring is 1 worn upon the right hand. p Among the poorer people the en- g gagement ring is the wedding ring, ft countries the wedding ring is worn ft? upon the other hand. At the marriage ceremony the hus- [ ? band withdraws it from ope hand and g places it upon the other.

Hopkins, man- \ I ager of the Southern Division of the J i American Red Cross, announced Sat- <, urday. J ( Not only in the South, where in- J terest in the flood sufferers is natur- ?1 " a A. 1 A- i- -1 - M ' k any greatest, out in every pan 01 ? the country, money is coming into J local Red Cross chapters for relief * among the destitute, homeless and < and hungry refugees in the stricken J districts. Although the total amounts * so far contributed have not yet been ? tabj^ted early indications are that i tl^response to this appeal will be \ gAerous. k I Jrhe Red Cross appeal was made T I trough local chapters after the flood | ? situation, the most serious in recent' 5 years if not in history, became such j $ that a fund of $100,000 set aside by > the Red Cross relief measures became \ inadequate to care for the refugees. jT All contriDutions are being made * through the local chapters of the ? Red Cross and the money is being jplied to actual relief work as fast i it reaches national headquarters. In the meantime conditions continue grow more serious and daily an creased number of refugees seek >od and shelter in the six Red Cross nt camps that have been established 5 close to the flooded regions as is acticable. Two special flood comittees, directed by Joseph C. Logan, ssistant manager of the Southern ivision of the Red Cross, and Miss elle Pike, special Red Cross repreintative, are administering the work. Thirty-nine special Red Cross work's, twenty in Mississippi and ninelen in Louisiana, are now in the Doded district. Supplies, clothes, nts, cots, blankets, and field kitchens ave been distributed in large num?rs to the sufferers. The problem of food, both for the ifugees and the live stock, is premting the most serious problem to le Red Cross workers and most of ?e funds now being raised will be sed to assure a proper food supply >r the sufferers. Thousands of the festitute refugees were actually starvig when they arrived in the Red ross camps on rafts and boats, and ie existing food supply is being apidly depleted. 1 FOR ' f We can't tell yo I do it ourselves.

Owing to the very unsatisfactory experience The County Record has had in the p.&t in collecting its bills for the publication of Summonses for Relief, Citation Notices, Notices to Creditors and applications by administrators for Final Discharge, we have determined that such notices must hereafter be paid for in advance. The three last named notices pertain strictly to the affairs of dead men and women and in many instances the living doesn't seem to care whether they are ever settled for or not?judging from the length of time many of them remain unpaid on our books.
