There vill be four performances of the picure, matinees both days, and the toal receipts after bare expenses' are aken out,-will be .given to the local Chapter U. D. C. Everyone would vant to patronize any benefit perormance for the U. D. C., but in this ase every one will want to see the >icture on its own merits, no matter vhat the cause. ' The "Queen of Sheba" is a big jicture, not surpassed by "Way Down Cast." The scenes take the form of l stupendous protrayal of the life ar 1 imes of King Solamon, in which the rlory and beauty of the Queen of sheba are depicted. The Oriental plendor of the period and of the ostumes and the manners of the; >eople. the magnificence and wisdom f Solomon in the golden days of erusalem are all set forth with a aithfulness, art and skill seldom in onv niVtiirization of ancient *" ?'i I ? ? imes. Take the children to the matinees. | Nothing "will impress Biblical history! n their minds like seeing these scenes I ividly portrayed by famous actors, t is hoped that many people from 11 parts of the county will come in or one at least of the four performnces.

Miss Emma Gordon was elected delegate to attend the State U. D. C. :onvention in December with Mrs. J. D. Britton as alternate. At the conclusion of the business meeting the hostess served a delicious sweet course. Last Friday afternoon the Williamsburg Chapter U? D. C. met with Mrs. Robert Fulton. An outstanding feature of the meeting was the decision ^ n VMAmAVi'ol oaI^aIq rckin .V COMUUOli A lilCIUUl 1U1 OVUV1U1 OlMJ/ at the Confederate College in Charleston in honor of Mrs. D. C. Scott, who was the organizer of the local chaptre U. D. C. and who has done more to perpetuate the cause of the south-y ern Confederacy than any one else in this county. It is eminently fitting that the chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy of which she was the foster mother should establish in her name a scholarship in the school for the descendants of Confederate veterans. On Sunday afternoon a meeting of citizens was called to decide whether or not Kingstree would give up its Red Cross charter. For the past few months the chapter has been, to all intents and purposes, dead. But it was to be foreseen that as soon as II - ..... * nn tnc issue was put ^uaici/ up w the people, they would not be willing to let so great an organization as the American Red Crosss pass out of the annals of Kingstree history, and it was enthusiastically decided to put on the annual Roll Call as soon as possible. According to schedule this should have been started on Armistice Day, but one week more or less will matter little, provided the Kingstree people rally to the standards of humanity and give the deserved support to the Red Cross chapter. A meeting of the executive committee was held on Wednesday to perfect plans for the Roll Call. One of the most delightful of the affairs for the younger set was the party given last Friday evening by Miss Anna Grace Adams in celebration "of her sixteenth birthday. The porches of her home were illuminated by the always alluring radiance of Japanese lanterns, and inside the house was beautifully decorated in ypllow and white, fall chrysanthemums being used to advantage in c/?KpmP UllliglUJS VUV VIIC VilVOVU VV?V1 MVOV...W. \ search for a penny that was hidden in the living room caused much merriment and was finally found by Miss Flora Smith, showing that wealth will be hers. Progressive conversation formed the main amusement of the evening and proved a successful way of keeping the fun going. Cakes, daintily iced in the chosen colors of the evening, and punch were served later in the evening. Intone of the cakes was hidden the dime, the finder of which will be the first among the guests to attempt the matrimon ial venture. The fortunate one was Miss Genivieve Reddick. On Thursday last the Winthrop Daughters met with Mrs. T. M. Cathcart. Mrs. P. G. Gourdin, president, told of the visit of Miss Russel, state secretary of the South Carolina Winthrop Alumnas Association, and of the ideas advanced by her for the better organization and greater accomplishment The project of a rest room for the use of country women and business girls was discussed, and Miss McMurray told of the great need for such an institution. Funds will have to be raised by the chapter before they can take any definite steps toward the establishing of a rest room, but they will work towards that object. It was decided that in malre thA mpeh'rifrs more profitable and pleasant the chapter would take up one of the courses prepared by Miss Russel for the State Federation of Women's Clubs on "Forty Famous American Women." For the next meeting Mrs. Cathcart was asked to prepare a program on Jane Adams of Hull House, Chicago. At the conclusion of the business the hostess served a salad course, assisted by Mrs. M. F. Montgomery and Miss Elizabeth Speigner. o 666 cures Bilious Fever. Carbon bisulphide is mighty dis couraging to honest,, hard-working grain weevils. 666 cures Bilious Fever.
