Members of the Williamsburg County
Cotton association met in the court
house here Tuesday and elected delegates
to the district meeting to be

was not as largely attended as reports

to get a report of the proceedings of
the meeting but among the delegates

and T. Olin Epps.

rector of Porter Military Academy,
Charleston, was in Kingstree Sunday
and officiated morning and evening

Mitchell has been in charge of this
church lor a numoer 01 years as its
rector and last Sunday was his last
visit here in this capacity. 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. John
Rideout will succeed Dr. Mitchell here
about July ist

The Mother's Club held its annual
meeting with Mrs. W. I. Nexsen, at
the home of her sister, Miss Etta
Jacobs, on Friday afternoon. No regular
program was prepared as the

of the afternoon. The retiring
officers were: Mrs. Lb A. VanKeuren,
Presiden; Mrs. J. W. Swittenberg,
vice-president; Mrs. J. D. Britton,
treasurer; Mrs. T. E. Arrowsmith,
secretary; Mrs. L. W. Gilland, press

Mrs. Luther Mcintosh, treasurer;
Mrs. L. W. Gilland, press secretary.
The new president took the
chair and there followed a discussion
as to the best ways and means to
provide for the maintenance of the
kindergarten another year. It was
suggested that a committee be appointed
each month to devi3e some
scheme to raise iunas to oe useu
next session for the support of the
kindergarten. 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. It was
mentioned that June is the regular
month for the club to give the opea
meeting for fathers but n
plans were made. The JflSess and

will be announcetWater.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting the hostess served tempting
sandwiches and fruit tea, and a pleasr

The Wedding Ring. ^
(By Lady Nora Bentenck, in New ^
York American.)
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.

Red Cross Aid Flood Sufferers. /
Prompt response has been made to <
the appeal for $500,000 to extend re- 2
lief work among 75,000 sufferers in J
the flood stricken areas of the Missis- ?
sippi Valley, Harry L. 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.

TAKE NOTICE.
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.
These notices are charged for
at a fixed rate, as follows:
Citation Notices $4JH>
