literally "a feast of reason and a
flow of soul" and surpassed in
elegance anything of the kind
that most of us had ever attended.
There was long list of toasts and
the responses were of such elo-
qeunce as can only be inspired by
such an occasion.
One toast, had it been offered
would have met with the heartiest
response of them all: 'sThe peo-
pie of Georgetown, rich in hospi
tallty and social amenities, may
peace and happiness smile upon
them, and may the choicest gifts
of heaven be theirs for all time"

tust lost a very good cook for a very
absurd reason, think. She came to
Us about four months ago and was
satisfactory in every wGy-neat in
dustrious, respectful and last. but
foremost, an excellent cook.
"As she was so very quiet could
not tell whether or not she was as
we'll pleased with US as we were with
her. but about six weeks ago the trou-
BILE began. She asked me suddenly
one day why We entertained so sel.
dom.
"'Glla.' said. we don't care to en-
tertain except few choice friends
now and then. 1t costs more than we
car afford. and We really don't care
for IT,
"'Your Iouse is just as handsome as
anybody's.' she went on. Other peo-
pie that I've lived with entertained all
the time. and their houses Weren
near as pretty or as nice as yours.
You never have anything but a club
meeting once in awhile. Why don't
you have teas and receptions. Mrs.

we corldn't spend msney in that way
and that we preferred simple amuse-
ments. Ella didn't seem satisfied. but
the matter was dropped. LAST Mon
day she asked to spend week at
home with her sick aunt, and, as I
couldn't we'll refuse. she departed, To-
day received q postal card from her

Press Association Meeting.

ne SQitOf HdO tuS PiSS
meeting with the brethren OF the
quill in Georgetown during three
days OF last week. As time Is
measured only three days were
spent in the Getty on the Sampi'," y"
bu, If time be measured by unal-
loyed enjoyment We think the
newspaper men would unanl-
mously agree that they must have
stayed IN Georgetown at least six
months. Nothing was done or!eft
undone by the committees but
that which afforded most pleasure
80 their guests, and if it were
acticable it is certain that each
newspaper represented at the as
sociation would eheertully and
willingly get out Georgetewn
edition.
From the time We alishted
from the cars We were made to
ieel that Tor the time being
Georgetown and everything in the
grand old city belonged 10 us
Such genuine and unaffected hos
pitality could not but produce a
feeling Of reciprocatien and not a
person present, however unre-
spousive he might ordinarily be,
departed without feeling OF
kindness deep down III his heart
for the people of Georgetown that
mere words could not adequately
express. There have been many
meetings Of the association and
various places have We'd with
one another to shower coursesies
apon the genial representatives OF
the press, but in the opinion Of
the veterans of the body George
town has eclipsed them all.
Where all seemed to strive to
the utmost to do us hoaor it is
matter of much dificll,y TO indi-
viduallze; yet there We're som:
whose attentions were so marked
that they deserve special mention.
Among those may be named
Mayer Morgan and the Board OF
Trade, the Palmetto Club, the
Atlantic Coast Lumber CO. and
the Georgetown and Western
Railroad Co, which furnished us
free transportation to the city.
The members of our party were
assigned to the homes OF the
citizens OF Georgetown, where we
we're made to feel that We were
honored guests. 1t was the good
iartuue OF the writer, along with
Mr. j. Ed. Norment, OF the News
and Courier, to stay with Mr..
Walter Hazard. Mr.. Hazard has
an ideally lovely home and is a
charming host, and ;rulv for three
days Our lines were fallen in pleas
ant places Mr.. Hazard was also
anremitting in his attentions 10
the association and everyone felt
crsiiGed that he was elected an
HONORARY member for Life,
Not the least pleasant feature
OF our entertainment was the ex-
cnrsion 10 North Island aud the
ascen, Of the light house tower.
On this trip We were shown how
the Gsaermeu put oat their nets

This was Il i.oyel sight, especially

We desire TO say to onr friends
and patrons that we are still carry
ing on business at the old stand,
where we are better than ever before
prepared to serve them.
This will be perhaps the hardest
year that our farmers have had to
contend with since the war, and feel:
ing this ourselves we are going TO
make it study to try to place pro-
visions Of all kinds in Kingstree for
as little money as they possibly can
be laid down here for and sold onsa,
strictly cash basis. Any business
man knows that Corn, Grlts. Bacon,
Molasses, Flour and such like goods
are the same as money. And what
our people need in Kingstree is a
man who is able to cope with the
outside business world and bring
them to their doors as cheap as they
can get them in any market. This
can only he done with the money,
and at the outset we want to tell our
customers that it takes money to run
this kind of business. 1t never has
been attempted here before. It. is
purely experimental, and whether it
shall succeed or fail depends upon
the support the people shall give it.
In this day and age in order to keep
up with the markets of the world
a man has to study themand make ita
business and get prices way down in
order 20 know when and where 10
buy. With these introductory
remarks We want now briefly to tell
you some of the goods we handle,yiz:
CORN, SUGAR,
OATS. COFFEE,
HAY, ! CIGARS,
GRITS, TOBACCO,
MEAL, SALT,
STARCH, CANDY,
FLOUR, CHEESE,
LARD, CRACKERS,
BACON, MOLASSES,
BUTTER, STARLYE,
SOAP, OIL,
CANNED GOODS.
For prices come. to see us. We
sell the goods just as low as they can
be sold.
CORN
We are prepared to sell corn for
future delivery. Prices can be fixed
now to run till May at one uniform
price. Price to-day, 95c per bushel.
BACON
This is special line with us, and
If you give us your business, be it
large or small, We will watch your
interests.
FLOUR
