many friends of Williamsburg coun-
ty since coming into the "Old North
State" The health of myself and
family has been almost perfect since
our arrival here. Our location at
Orrum, the place We have chosen as
a home for the present, is in every
way satisfactory. 1 found and pur-
chased desirable lot, on which Has

The people, though strangers, have

a live little town of thrifty people.
So, in most respects we are very we'll

Rheumatic
Pains

"My mother is great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Royce6eld, N. J.
The pains Of rhef 'atism are
almost invariably rel.Ned with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence OF
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derang.e
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

HARPERS HAPPENINGS.
School Term Lengthened-NeW Cotton
Observation-Disclosures Negro Parents.

Harpers, August 30:-An ice
cream festival will be given at
the home of MIR and Mrs w S
Camlin on Tuesday evening,
August 81, for the benefit of the
Harpers school. The patrons of
this school have made applica-
ton to the State for aid, putting
up the sum of $50 with their ap-
plication. This school is eX-
pected to have seven months
term. The people are enthusias-
tic over education in our little
town.
There have been several bales
of new cotton ginned here the
past week and shipped to mar
ket.
Mr. G Grier is all smiles to-
day and seems in a fine glee over
the lO-pound boy that arrived at
his home last Sunday, August 20.
The people of this town and
community are awaiting with in
terest the outcome of the pro-
test of the Georgetown county
prohibitionists. At last accounts
Mr. Walter Hazard, their attor-
ney,was still in Columbia trying
to get a hearing before the State
board of canvassers. Comptroll-
er General Jones seemed to have
brought on a deadlock. 1t seems
that Mr. Jones takes delight in
holding the State board at bay.
l guess since Judge Hydrick's
order he has taken his seat
with the other members Of the
board.
A dead negro child partly
buried was found a few days
ago by Policeman- on the
Georgetown side of the county
road and the matter was report
ed to the officers Of the town.
On investigation it was found
10 be child which had died a
few days ago and was taken out
by the negro family and buried
on the farm of w S Camlin with
ont his knowledge or consent
The negroes were reprimanded
by the intendant of the town and
ordered to take up the body and
re-bury the same in the negro
cemetery of the town.

after McGarry had apparently won

that they were opposing a normal

because of their attitude on the

to sit up and take notice as to where
McGarry, Gum, ct al have been

Leading the great parade are the
regular troops, including the West
Point cadets. Then come In turn the
marine corps and the tackles Of the
navy, the latter including the men Of
the battleship feet which circumnavi.
gated the world. After them come
the militia organizations and the civil
ian bodies wind up the procession.
For several days the paraders have
been pouring into town by thousands.
Tcday's parade is declared to be by
all odds the biggest that ever marched

planse from the people who pack the

Tonight's TWO Attractions.
Tonight will hold two attractions
for the visiting thousands. The first
will be the grand display Of fireworks
back Of the White House; the other
will be the ball. The Inauguration
managers have announced that the
fireworks display will excel any ever
seen In Washington. The crowds will
see displayed In the air in lines of
fire the features of the incoming and
outgoing presidents, a battle between
aerial warships, floral displays and
other exhibitions Of the pyrotechnic
art.
The eliminating feature of the In
augural ceremonies will be the ball
In the pension Office President Taft
and Mrs. Taft, Vice President Sher-
man and Mrs. Sherman and every one
else will attend the ball and the pres
ident's reception will be one of the
leading features. He will be on pub
lie inspection, for the ball is open to
all who have been able to pay S.
apiece for tickets. The reception
committee, composed of. prominent
citizens of all the states, will present
to Mr.. and Mrs. Taft the visitors from
their respective states The ball will
probably last until midnight. Tomor-
row and the next day there will be
concerts, instrume entail and vocal, in
the pension Office to wind up the In
auguration week.

the burden Of taxation as IlgnC as pos

But when the desire to win the popu-

able it to accomplish its proper objects
the result is as much to be condemned

Protection for New President.

Custom requires the president Of
the United States to take the oath OF
office and deliver the inaugural ad-
dress In the open air and Mr.. Taft did
not depart from the custom. How
ever, in Difference to the protests of
those who believed that his health
should not be endangered by the
March air more than was absolutely
necessary, the stand upon which he
reviews this afternoons parade IS
partly enclosed In glass, thus afford
Ing him considerable shelter. It is q
Wearjsome task to watch marching
bodies Of men pass for several hours
and acknowledge their salutes, but
there is little doubt that President
Taft will display as few signs of fa-
tigue tonight as did his trough riding
predecessor four years ago.
The taking of the oath is the only
really essential part Of the Inaugural
ton ceremonies, but only a compare
lively small portion Of the thousands
visiting Washington can assemble be-
fore the Capitol within seeing dis
lance. For the rest the inaugural
parade and the inaugural ball are the
great features Of the occasion. For
four hours this afternoon the soldiers,
sailors and civilians will march down
PENNSYLVANIA avenue and past the
presidential reviewing stand in front
of the White House. President Taft's
